Zhou Xuan brought up the na of the Witch God, and although the Mouse King’s heart sank, he wasn’t that afraid.
"You think bringing up the Witch God’s na will scare ? Who knows if you’re just playing so trick again?"
Zhou Xuan had lied too much... at least tonight, in the Xi’an Cathedral, he hadn’t told a single truth, so now every ti he opened his mouth, the Mouse King assud he was just spouting nonsense.
"Look, when the truth is made false, it seems true, and when the false is made true, it seems false. It’s hard for to tell you a truth, and yet you still don’t believe ."
Zhou Xuan supported the wind and said with a wry smile to the Turtle Mountain Taoist, "Old Turtle, you head back to the Daoist Temple first. The Witch God values peace and quiet when he appears."
"Alas."
The Turtle Mountain Taoist nodded, walked up to Zhou Xuan, and said, "Mister, when you fooled the Mouse King earlier, it was so convincing that I was tempted to join you, beco the overlord of the Star Sea, and plunder without end."
"Stop dreaming, master your little Turtle Mountain first, then talk about the Star Sea overlord."
Zhou Xuan waved with a smile at the Turtle Mountain Taoist, "You did well today. Tomorrow, go to the God Traveling Departnt and receive ten Snow Mountain Palm Ginseng."
"Ten plants, that will fill my incense offerings?" the Turtle Mountain Taoist said.
"Can incense offerings ever be too much?"
Zhou Xuan gave the Turtle Mountain Taoist a sidelong glance, and the old turtle left with a smile.
"Mouse King, once you enter my gentle breeze dream, Mingjiang Prefecture will be peaceful, and those who ruined the Anxi Cathedral will be gone, bringing clear skies to Mingjiang Prefecture."
As Zhou Xuan spoke, a gentle breeze began to ripple through the cathedral, blowing in from the southwest, without even stirring a leaf.
As the wind brushed lightly against his face, Zhou Xuan could sense the subtle intent of the wind.
"The Witch God is here."
Nowadays, Zhou Xuan had co to understand so characteristics of powerful beings. Now he knew—the more powerful the being, the more skillful their control over their power,
especially the supre "Ultimate Will" of Jing Country, which could walk out of the sea without making any waves.
"I never expected you to co looking for so soon."
A middle-aged man carrying a wine gourd staggered towards Zhou Xuan.
This man was Lord Jiu.
Lord Jiu was the Witch God’s designated "Human World Walker." The Witch God road the world and needed to rely on Lord Jiu’s body to do so.
"Witch God, within the wind I control, I’ve trapped the Mouse King, just waiting for you to execute him."
"Hah, Zhou Xuan, keep acting, keep pretending... Witch God, my foot..."
The Mouse King, thinking that the Zhou Xuan outside the "dream" was still acting, imdiately mocked.
"This noisy person, is he the Mouse King?"
The Witch God raised a hand, and a leaf on the ground suddenly floated up and drifted towards Zhou Xuan’s gentle breeze dream.
The leaf entered the dream and suddenly exploded into dust, with each particle resembling unreadable runes, slaughtering most of the bugs that represented the Mouse King’s life within the dream.
The bugs represented the Mouse King’s life, and now, having lost most of his life, he was left in shock.
"It’s the real Witch God, the real Witch God! Have I, the Mouse King, violated the heavenly rules to warrant the strongest Heavenly Venerate to act against ?"
"So noisy indeed."
The Witch God flicked another leaf, just like before, killing the remaining bugs in the dream.
Two leaves alone took the Mouse King’s life, and the gentle breeze in Zhou Xuan’s hand seeped with blood, turning into a wind ball tinged with blood.
But after a few monts, the blood seed to be absorbed by the wind, turning it back into an intangible, formless thing.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuan finally collected the gentle breeze dream.
This dream beca a cloud pattern on his Daoist robe.
"Was this Mouse King a spy for the Buddha Country?"
After dealing with the Mouse King, the Witch God began to inquire about his origins.
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "No."
"Then you’re abusing your power."
The Witch God solemnly said, "We agreed that you would deal with the Buddha Country people, and I would provide you three reinforcent opportunities per month."
"Dealing with the Mouse King is dealing with the Buddha Country people."
Zhou Xuan said, "It’s a simple reason. If the Mouse King isn’t removed, the people of Mingjiang Prefecture will be in constant danger, and I won’t be able to deal with the Buddha Country people."
"You didn’t have to call to deal with the Mouse King. He was trapped in the Four Heavenly Venerates’ dream, unable to get out, and calling wasted a chance."
The Witch God felt it was a pity that for an old rat from the sewers, one of Zhou Xuan’s three monthly chances was used up.
Zhou Xuan slowly shook his head and said, "This chance had to be wasted. I, as a person, don’t like to leave things unresolved."
A Mouse King always trying to seize Zhou Xuan’s life, even if alive for just one more second, left Zhou Xuan uneasy.
"You’re concerned not just about unresolved things, right?" the Witch God asked.
Zhou Xuan was quite candid, saying, "Also worried you wouldn’t show up."
With three reinforcent opportunities per month, Zhou Xuan was quite satisfied, but would the Witch God really co as long as he dripped blood on the golden talisman?
Zhou Xuan had posed a question mark over this matter, but now the question mark was removed; the Witch God would indeed co.
"It’s always better to confirm things, better than when I’m really in a complete crisis, and dripping blood on the golden talisman gets no response."
As Zhou Xuan said this, he gestured with his hands and said, "We’re building mutual trust slowly."
"Do you trust now?"
"I trust... more than half."
"I trust you more than half as well." The Witch God said, "This Mouse King turned out to be an Earth Abyss-crafted Heavenly Ghost counterfeit."
"Even though a counterfeit is a fake thing, this one has three points of the ’Ancestral Rhy’ Heavenly Ghost’s essence and is a very difficult opponent. You’ve shown your capability."
