The old city god pressed his body tightly against a tree and held his breath, fearing that Xu Zhoujiao would discover him.

But he didn't know that his every move had already been seen by Xu Zhoujiao.

Zijian thrust his sword into the tree trunk with unstoppable force, and pierced through his scalp. Amid the old city god's terrified cry, it swung back and stopped in front of him.

The old city god, who had just survived the brink of death, looked at Zijian who was facing him head-on. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart was tightly gripped.

"Ah, how could you dodge so carelessly? You almost got half your head chopped off by the sword."

When the old city god heard Xuzhou Jiao's voice coming from above his head, he was so frightened that he fell heavily to the ground.

The wound that was hit by Xu Zhoujiao was pressed by him again, and he grimaced in pain.

The old city god cursed Xuzhou Jiao for being cruel and ruthless, while covering his shoulders and gasping for breath.

At this moment, he felt extremely regretful: he had given the best elixir to that unfilial daughter, but after her injury healed, she secretly ran down the mountain to find Shi Jun.

If I hadn't come down the mountain to find her, how could I have run into this vicious woman Xu Zhoujiao.

Now that I have fallen into her hands again, I am afraid my life or death is uncertain.

Xu Zhoujiao took the sword in midair and ran her thumb across its blade. She glanced at the old city god who had fallen to the ground and said simply, "You, take me to find the dragon."

In the eyes of the old city god, her actions were extremely threatening: as if the sword in her hand would immediately pierce his head if he dared to say no.

The old city god has always adhered to the principle of "as long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood" in doing things.

So he didn't need to think carefully and just nodded and agreed readily.

Xu Zhoujiao curled her lips and smiled, revealing the Sun God behind her: "Sun God, you come and support him. If he dares to play any tricks halfway, just kill him directly."

The old city god looked at the Sun God who suddenly appeared from behind Xuzhou Jiao, his eyes widened: "Sun God, why are you following behind Xuzhou Jiao?"

The Sun Wandering God pulled him up and smiled frankly: "This is naturally the order of the new City God. He wants me and the Night Wandering God to follow you day and night, and only follow your words."

The words of the Sun God were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the old city god's mind.

Shi Jun took refuge with Xuzhou Jiao? And gave away such an important Day and Night Tour God?

No wonder he suffered heavy losses repeatedly, but Shi Jun was safe and sound. It must be that after Xuzhou Jiao made a scene in the City God Temple, Shi Jun came to ask for peace.

He actually regarded his family as a door-knocking stone for surrendering to Xuzhou Jiao. Xuzhou Jiao was able to sneak into the back mountain smoothly, which must have been Shi Jun's handiwork.

Shijun, you are really great.

The old city god's eyes were bloodshot with anger, veins popped out on his forehead, he was shaking all over, his teeth were chattering.

The whole person was feeling angry and embarrassed, and was dragged in front by the Sun God to lead the way.

Thanks to the cooperation of the old city god, the three of them quickly arrived in front of a wide cave.

But there was no one in the cave.

She turned to look at the old city god: "Where are they? Where did they go?"

The old city god shook his head: "I don't know where they went. I sneaked out when they were not around."

Xu Zhoujiao thought for a while and then threw the Sky-Sealing Shuttle in his hand out.

Feng Tiansuo quickly weaved a net around the cave, concealing the breath of Xu Zhoujiao and others tightly.

The old city god looked at the Sealing Sky Shuttle who was working hard to weave the web, his face ashen: even the Sealing Sky Shuttle was in her hands, so he really had no way out...

While waiting for the prey to come, Xuzhou Jiao asked about the origins of the old city god and his group:

"Old City God, you have lived in Kyoto for a long time. How did you come across this group of people?"

The old city god looked at her as if he had seen a ghost: "How do you know that they are from Da'an?"

"Who told you this? Even Mingming Shijun doesn't know about this. How did you know about it?"

Xu Zhoujiao heard his words and thought to herself: It turns out that he and Shijun don't know each other's background. It's really like a heavy rain that washes away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize family members.

She decided to trick him.

"I also know that you changed the fate book for a scholar fifty-eight years ago. This scholar died at the foot of Cuihua Mountain sixty-five years ago, and you pressed his soul to the bottom of the lake."

Hearing that Xuzhou Jiao could tell the time exactly, the old city god collapsed to the ground. He knew in his heart that he was completely exposed.

Knowing that it was meaningless to deny it now, the old city god decided to tell the whole truth.

"A hundred years ago, a man suddenly came to me and said he knew I had murdered my first wife and watched my mistress feed her young son to snakes."

"He wants me to clear out all the people within a fifty-mile radius of Cuihua Mountain and give Cuihua Mountain to him."

"Because he held the evidence, I had no choice but to let Shijun lie and report that there were monsters hurting people in Cuihua Mountain, and finally closed the mountain."

"Who would have thought that the scholar would actually ignore the rumors and drink and sing with his friends at the foot of the mountain."

"In order to completely eliminate human habitation in this place, I used water plants to pull the drunk scholar down into the lake and completely sealed him at the bottom of the lake. Since then, no one has dared to set foot here again."

"Until sixty years ago, when people started to move around Cuihua Mountain frequently, I knew they had come."

Xu Zhoujiao twisted her fingers, recalling the words of the old city god in her heart: No wonder the old city god was connected with Fuguang Mountain, it turned out that someone had caught him.

She continued to question the old city god: "Then can you see the true face of the person who came?"

The old city god shook his head and said, "I have never seen his true face. He has a very powerful magic weapon. I cannot see his appearance, and even the registration book cannot find any trace of him."

Xu Zhoujiao understood in her heart: this is the use of the God-Covering Bell. Even the Old City God, such an important chess piece, has never been seen before, so Shi Jun is probably in trouble too.

"Did they also give you the scholar's fortune book?"

"Yes. They knew I had connections in the underworld, so they asked me to find a lonely ghost to replace Mu Sheng in the underworld. They gave me the book of fate and a pill and asked me to feed it to the scholar."

No wonder the scholar has been confused for so many years in Lu Daozhi's hands.

This cave master of Fuguang Mountain is really a strange person. On the one hand, he asked Shi Jun to pretend to be Mu Jinsheng, but on the other hand, he disliked Shi Jun for tarnishing Mu Jinsheng's name, so he gave a mediocre Mu Sheng as a fake name.

After Shi Jun followed the snake girl back to the City God Temple, he asked the old City God to send the fake Mu Sheng to the underworld for reincarnation.

Did he find out that Shi Jun had become the new son-in-law of the City God and choose to make him completely separate from Mu Sheng, so as to help him take the position and pave the way for himself in Kyoto?

Or did he just create a false life for Mu Jinsheng to hide it from the underworld?

It must be both.

The master of the Fuguang Mountain Cave really played a good game of chess. He not only protected Shi Jun's position as the City God, but also allowed Mu Jinsheng, a mortal, to escape from the cycle of reincarnation and be used by him.

It really is a two-pronged approach that maximizes benefits.

Xu Zhoujiao kept applauding the owner of the Fuguang Mountain Cave in her heart.

Having sorted out all the clues, Xu Zhoujiao was thinking about her next plan in her mind.

Suddenly she felt a slight fluctuation of breath at the foot of Cuihua Mountain.

But the person who came had an unstable breath, as if he had suffered a serious injury.

Xu Zhoujiao calmed down and carefully felt the faint breath.

She smelled a faint scent of Ganoderma lucidum in the breath.

Xuzhou Jiao opened her eyes, it turned out to be like this...
