Xu Fang had just finished setting up the defensive array of the Western Kunlun Taoist field with the Queen Mother of the West and others, when he saw the Western disciple he had singled out returning.
This person didn't say much. Taking advantage of the fact that the great array had not yet closed, he entered the Taoist field, bowed to Xu Fang and the Queen Mother of the West, nodded, and then walked towards the group of Western disciples who were working.
He rolled up his sleeves and joined the fervent Western construction army.
"What's going on with these Western disciples? Didn't I tell him to leave?"
The Queen Mother of the West was surprised and uncertain, not knowing what these Western disciples were thinking, or what Zhunti Daoist and Jieyin Daoist's intentions were.
"Heh heh! These Zhunti Daoist and Jieyin Daoist are indeed sensible."
Xu Fang chuckled and said.
"Don't worry, these two from the West have already stated their position. As long as you don't kill these Western disciples under them, you can make them work as hard as you want!"
It had to be said that after suffering so many setbacks under his hands, Zhunti Daoist and Jieyin Daoist had finally understood that they could not oppose him.
At this moment, even though they knew that the Western disciples were being detained by him as laborers, they dared not speak out.
They even sent these Western disciples back to show their attitude, letting him know that as long as the fire didn't spread to them, it was fine.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West looked at the increasingly dejected Western disciples who were working even harder, and suddenly understood, laughing along with Xu Fang.
It seemed that these Western disciples also knew the intentions of their leaders and dared not resist at all, so they could only honestly work to atone for their sins!
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, for helping us. We are eternally grateful!"
In this way, with the help of Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, she and her sisters from the Immortal Court had completely established a foothold in Western Kunlun.
Even the West, which was the most prosperous in the West, kept its distance from this Western Kunlun. How could other beings dare to provoke them?
Hearing the Queen Mother of the West's words, Xu Fang looked up at the beautiful scenery of Western Kunlun and replied.
"It's nothing. The safe and sound state of the Queen Mother of the West is also something our good friend would wish to see!"
This Western Kunlun is quite good. If that guy is reborn in the future, I'll pin him down here, have him accompany the Queen Mother of the West for good, and stop him from causing trouble.
Hearing Xu Fang's words, the Queen Mother of the West's face fell for a moment, but she quickly recovered and bowed to Xu Fang again.
Xu Fang nodded and said nothing more.
Although she was sad now, the more sorrow she felt now, the more joy she would feel when they were reunited later. It was a case of suffering first and then sweetness!
Thinking of this, Xu Fang felt relieved and said.
"Alright, since this matter is settled, I won't linger any longer. I'll take my leave now!"
Since the Queen Mother of the West had been settled, and the army of Western laborers was honestly helping the Queen Mother of the West to establish her Taoist field, Xu Fang had other matters to attend to and naturally wouldn't delay.
"Good! Thank you, Fellow Daoist. Farewell!"
The Queen Mother of the West bowed to Xu Fang again, expressing her gratitude.
Xu Fang nodded, returned her bow, and immediately summoned the Golden Winged Great Peng Sculpture and the other two, and left the Immortal Court.
The Western disciples watched Xu Fang and his entourage leave, their hearts stirred, and they all looked at Maitreya.
The immortal court female immortals were not to be feared. Now only the Queen Mother of the West, Maitreya, and the Western disciples remained. If they joined forces, they might be able to resist successfully and regain their freedom!
Maitreya clearly had the same idea, but he glanced at the Western disciple who had returned, and immediately shouted.
"What are you looking at! Get back to work!"
Maitreya was helpless. With this Western disciple returning, the attitude of his master and uncle was extremely clear.
Even if they could successfully resist and escape back to the West, they might be brought back here by Zhunti Daoist and Jieyin Daoist the next moment.
Seeing that Maitreya was like this, the other Western disciples quickly understood that they were abandoned disciples of the West, at least for now.
Alas, why think so much? It's better to honestly be laborers and work to atone for sins!
Xu Fang, with the Golden Winged Great Peng Sculpture and the other two, ascended the Treasure Distributing Rock. Along the way, before the Golden Winged Great Peng Sculpture and the other two could ask where Xu Fang was going, the Treasure Distributing Rock had already stopped.
"Eastern Kunlun? Is Senior coming here to search for treasures again?"
"Yes, what treasures are there here? Could it be that you're going to make another bet with the Three Pure Ones?"
"Senior, you can't do this twice. No matter how good the temper of the Three Pure Ones is, they will break down if we keep doing this!"
Seeing this Eastern Kunlun, the three little followers naturally recalled the matter of finding the Qilin Seal.
The Three Pure Ones had suffered a great loss at that time, but they had to accept it due to the bet.
Would the Three Pure Ones be easily fooled if Senior returned to this place again and used the same trick?
"What are you thinking? The Three Pure Ones have always been friendly to me. Am I the kind of person who takes an inch when given a foot?"
Xu Fang's face sank, and he said.
Even if he was passionate about treasure hunting, he wouldn't be able to fleece the Three Pure Ones like this. He had something important to ask.
While talking and laughing, Xu Fang, along with the Golden Winged Great Peng Sculpture and others, descended from the Treasure Distributing Rock and landed on the Qilin Cliff.
Before he could say anything more, two figures hurried over, their laughter already ringing from the peak of Kunlun Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, long time no see, I've missed you dearly!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, your style is as usual!"
As the voices fell, the figures of Yuanshi and Tongtian appeared before Xu Fang and his party, smiling as they looked at Xu Fang and the others, filled with the joy of reunion.
"It has indeed been a long time. Fellow Daoists, your styles have not diminished!"
Xu Fang exchanged pleasantries, scanned the surroundings, and then asked.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Taishang? Why don't I see him?"
When Taishang was mentioned, Yuanshi and Tongtian's faces faltered, and they could only smile wryly.
"Senior Brother Taishang has been in seclusion for a long time and has been unable to break through, which has been bothering him."
"Fortunately, according to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's instruction, he has set off for the human race by the East Sea to seek opportunities!"
Upon saying this, Yuanshi and Tongtian both breathed a sigh of relief. After years of secluded cultivation, they had gained nothing, yet Taishang was so stubborn.
If not for Dao Ancestor Hongjun's personal instruction this time, Taishang would probably still be stubbornly staying on Kunlun Mountain.
"Dao Ancestor Hongjun's instruction? I see!"
Xu Fang suddenly understood and chuckled. Taishang had been delayed for so long, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't stand it anymore, right? He directly issued a decree, ordering him to go to the human race.
This was good. Although he had decided to persuade Taishang, he really didn't know how to face him. His departure saved him from embarrassment.
"Let's not talk about him. He's too stubborn!"
Tongtian sighed, looked at Xu Fang, and chuckled.
"It's Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, are you here to make another bet with us to search for treasures?"
"Sorry, we've learned our lesson and won't be fooled."
Yuanshi echoed, and exchanged a smile with Tongtian.
They wouldn't be as stubborn as Taishang. Xu Fang's treasure-hunting skills were evident for all to see. They had learned their lesson and wouldn't make the same mistake as last time.
Seeing them guarding him like a thief, Xu Fang was also helpless.
"Fellow Daoists, you are judging a gentleman by a villain's standards. I am not here for treasure hunting."
Xu Fang said, stating his purpose.
"I am here to escort Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West back to Western Kunlun for cultivation, and I encountered the Kai Ming Beast Lu Wu. I heard the Queen Mother of the West speak of its wonders and was curious."
"Today, I have come specifically to ask you, Fellow Daoist Sanqing, for an explanation!"
The matter of the Kai Ming Beast had been bothering Xu Fang, so how could he be at ease? Of course, he had to get to the bottom of it and see how to resolve it.
