Time flowed, the years went by, and no matter how much fighting took place in the outside world, it had no effect on the Blue Mountain Coffin Shop.
Zang Lan Shan was in the business of making coffins, and lately business was booming.
But this only meant that more people were dying, and the death toll was rising.
“It's really frustrating. So many people have died, we need to prepare a lot of coffins.”
“Right, it's a good thing there's a coffin shop here, otherwise we'd have to travel a long distance to buy them.”
Soon, a large order came in. Zang Lan Shan was excited, and she couldn't forget about the person who always played around—Zhao Xu.
Yes, Zhao Xu.
Many people thought that they couldn't possibly see anything worse, but when they saw Zang Lan Shan, they vomited profusely and fled in terror.
This made Zang Lan Shan the infamous ugly girl, the kind of ugly that made people want to puke till they reached heaven.
Her ugliness was truly frightening.
One day, two monks arrived.
Lotus Zen Master and Heart Carrying Lead.
“Greetings, donor.”
“Oh, Masters, what brings you here?”
Zang Lan Shan looked at the two, especially Heart Carrying Lead. His face was the kind that people would envy, he was not ordinary.
Lotus Zen Master bowed and said, “Amitabha, this monk wishes to purchase some coffins. May we?”
“Yes, of course. But Master, are you seeking alms or making a purchase?”
Lotus Zen Master replied calmly, “This monk has no silver, so we can only humbly request alms from the donor.”
Zang Lan Shan, her face as ugly as ever, responded with even uglier actions, “Master, one or two coffins, this shop can afford to give away, but more than that, this shop needs to eat too. Of course, if this little disciple could be exchanged, I would be delighted.”
Heart Carrying Lead was taken aback, how did the conversation turn to him?
Lotus Zen Master couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. “That’s quite the statement. You’re really something. You don’t even look at your own reflection, are you trying to harm others?”
“In that case, then this monk only needs two coffins.”
Zang Lan Shan was visibly disappointed and became impatient.
“Take them, take them. You only know how to beg, don't give money, hmph.”
She turned around and went back inside, letting them take two coffins.
Lotus Zen Master felt a little embarrassed. He didn’t have any other choice. As for the rest, he couldn't do anything about it.
Heart Carrying Lead was also puzzled. Why did she suddenly turn and leave? He was truly confused.
“Zen Master, what was that?”
“Don't worry, just know that everything is fine. Relax.”
“Yes, Zen Master.”
Since the Zen Master said so, he didn't mind. He just took the two coffins.
After they left, Zang Lan Shan went out. Her frustration was something only she knew. People in the world couldn't escape the judgment of beauty and ugliness. It was only natural.
“Forget it.”
She would wait for her father to wake up. Everything else could wait, nothing was more important than her father.
Now it was time to wait. Wait for that day to come. This was a crucial outcome. There couldn’t be any mistakes.
Meanwhile, in the secret room, Bai Shou Liu Xian and Bian Xi Jun waited silently, looking at the coffin. The surrounding Three Yuan energy was still swirling.
This was a sign, undoubtedly indicating that although Mu Shen was asleep, he clearly had consciousness. However, it was difficult to send a message out. Whether or not he could be reached was impossible to say.
They could only wait now, there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, in the land of Bitter End, the Black Sea Purgatory launched a full-scale attack, opening the Yellow Spring Return Line.
Countless Bitter End citizens lost their lives, a truly tragic sight. It was a fact that they were helpless.
Endless war flames ravaged the world, endless murderous intent lurked. No one could resist this force, no one could escape. Life and death were just trifles in the eyes of the powerful.
The Bitter End righteous path was desperately resisting the spread of the Yellow Spring Return Line. It was a life-or-death situation, a terrifyingly massive battle. No one would yield.
“What do we do? Now the Black Sea Purgatory’s Xuan Xiao Prince is in charge. He’s very strong.”
“He is indeed very strong. But the formation I and Yuan Wu Xiang prepared is almost complete. We can take him down in one fell swoop.”
“That’s feasible. Then, are the internal matters settled?”
“Of course. However, even if we kill the Xuan Xiao Prince, other experts from the Black Sea Purgatory will appear. We must be careful then.”
“Of course. I hear even the King of Hell might show up. This is a big deal.”
“As for the rest, it’s too early to say. Let's first show our strength. Otherwise, there's nothing to talk about.”
“Good. First, deal with the Xuan Xiao Prince. If anyone from the Black Sea Purgatory comes again, then we’ll send out another expert.”
“Hmph, whatever comes our way, we’ll deal with it. What’s there to fear?”
Then they also devised a series of strategies.
They couldn't disappoint anyone. They wanted people to know their strength, to let the Black Sea Purgatory know the might of Bitter End.
So, they started formulating a plan to annihilate the Xuan Xiao Prince.
This plan was already in motion, there was no possibility of failure.
The battle was imminent. No one backed down. As long as they knew the danger, they wouldn’t retreat.
True warfare didn’t care about those things. As long as they were prepared, that was enough.
The flames of war filled the sky, their power was undeniable.
The Xuan Xiao Prince’s arrogance remained unchanged. He had succeeded last time. Now he could only face defeat.
Because the Bitter End experts were not stagnant.
The formation of Juan Shou Tian and Yuan Wu Xiang, “Steal the Impossible and Change the Extreme,” caused the Xuan Xiao Prince immense trouble.
“Steal the Impossible and Change the Extreme.”
The two activated the formation, trapping the Xuan Xiao Prince, rendering him helpless.
“Damn it! Wild Gun Spills Silver - Hundred Miles Smoke and Fire.”
The Xuan Xiao Prince roared in anger, pushing his power to the limit. His strength surged. With a single, fluid movement, he launched a powerful counterattack to try to break through the formation.
This powerful counterattack put a strain on the formation. But Yuan Wu Xiang and Juan Shou Tian stood firm in the formation. They prevented the Xuan Xiao Prince from breaking through, demonstrating the terrifying power of the formation.
This astounding effect was very pleasing. It brought peace to the hearts of the people, and the reason behind it was hard to control. It must be said that the benefits were tangible.
This was truly frightening. It filled people with a fear they couldn't forget. It had to be said, strength was the only thing that mattered, and that was reasonable. It made people wary.
All these rules were designed to be impossible to find, they couldn’t be underestimated.
The murderous intent was even more formidable. It could not be easily extinguished.
“Kill!”
The murderous intent on both sides surged again, making everyone realize that the end was near. They just needed to severely injure the Xuan Xiao Prince, and the plan would succeed.
