The presence of this middle-aged man was overwhelmingly powerful,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Lu Yao and Zhong Yue forced themselves to stand beside Zhu Xiaoming despite their fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Mingsheng raised an eyebrow and didn’t seem to care much, as it indeed involved Zhang Fusheng, the young man favored by Wang Yuan—no,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to be precise, deemed important by Shi Zhengyuan. Most likely having close ties with the Ling Mountain lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s even possible that he is the lead I’ve been waiting in Dragon Boat City for several years—clues to the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Mingsheng’s mind became lively,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mandala Lineage had identified Shi Zhengyuan long ago, and never acted, for they were sure he didn’t know the whereabouts of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as Shi Zhengyuan existed, someone from the Ling Mountain lineage would certainly make contact, among whom might know where the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been order to monitor silently for over a decade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now increasingly mindful about the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple... it could summon a deity’s true form to descend from the Different Dimension through a Supreme Treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If offered to the Celestial Venerate...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dedication, a blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced again at the tense bald-headed boy, reaching out with a smile to pat his bald head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t touch.\" Another voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Mingsheng’s expression darkened as he turned indifferently, thinking no one in Dragon Boat City dared to...huh??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome young man walked over lazily, wearing a magical robe sewn with bone fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My future Dharma Protector Vajra, I’ve come to invite you into the fold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome young man didn’t recognize Du Mingsheng, merely walked up to Zhu Xiaoming, and praised with an exclamation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a shiny bald head!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beads of sweat formed on Du Mingsheng’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person entered from outside the restaurant, and Du Mingsheng was relieved, promptly paying respects to the newcomer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor Wang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people murmured a bit with surprise, Gov.....Governor??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome young man curiously glanced at the elder and ignored him, Shi Zhengyuan’s eyes slightly contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came specifically to see the situation upon learning there were refugees from Jiangzhou, but he never expected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Shi lowered his eyelids, hiding deep murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha Son of the Mandala Lineage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He warned himself not to act rashly, the Buddha Son’s cultivation was not high, only at the Martial Arts Master level, but being personally taught by a deity, he likely carried many Supreme Treasures,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most critical thing is, once they start fighting, regardless of the outcome, this last Buddha Country wouldn’t be preserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My future Vajra Guardian.\" Silent Fury Buddha Son nonchalantly took Zhu Xiaoming by the arm, speaking in a singsong tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, let’s go...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xiaoming stopped Lu Yao and Zhong Yue with his eyes from speaking up, remembering what Old Zhang said, to leave with this person upon his arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two bald heads thus walked straight out of the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone instinctively turned their gaze toward the Governor of Dragon Boat City, filled with tension and trepidation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, a city governor was truly someone out of reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all know Zhang Fusheng?\" Shi Zhengyuan suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you taking me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following behind the handsome young man, Zhu Xiaoming was a bit slobbery in his walking, having arrived at the outskirts of Dragon Boat City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was desolate enough, and behind the handsome young man appeared a sudden withered woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking you to the cult together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xiaoming saw this handsome young man speak in a whisper, while the withered woman on his back curiously examined him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He timidly raised his hand in a greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\" The withered woman suddenly stuck out her tongue, the tongue extending over a meter, dangling straight to the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xiaoming decisively rolled his eyes and fainted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent Fury Buddha Son was a bit speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you scare him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just for fun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Always for fun, just know fun!\" The Buddha Son lightly complained, seemingly reluctant to get angry at the withered woman,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crouched down to check on the bald-headed boy’s condition, then clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha Son simply sat down where he was, took a small urn jar from his bag, with a human head the same size as the jar at the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Dali stared at him intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha Son took out the High Heaven Order, pondered for a moment, placed it on the ground, tapping it gently and rhythmically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to catch the mysterious Celestial Venerate’s attention, hoping to offer the Human Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just after a couple of taps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha Son lifted his head, looking towards the far horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he saw nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmured softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine descent has been completed.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, the High Heaven Order gently trembled, and an old man with a gloomy face appeared out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A True Man, Zhong Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Went to watch the military parade, was a little late, finished 1.6w
