As the Saint Mother Yuan Jun's figure disappeared from sight.
Xu Yuan's heart finally relaxed.
Of course, he had many questions.
For example, what kind of treasure was the map that Li Shan Lao Mu had taken out.
For example, what was the last step in repairing the Celestial Qin that Saint Mother Yuan Jun had mentioned.
He didn't know any of this.
However, he did know one thing.
That is - Saint Mother Yuan Jun had left.
Then, the situation was settled!
And similarly aware of the situation being settled.
Was also the Crane Immortal.
“...”
At this moment, the face of this Eastern Heaven Immortal, a crane face, was almost twisted.
Coupled with the blood he had previously spat out, and his right wing, which had been severed by Li Shan Lao Mu.
Made the Crane Immortal look extremely pathetic at this moment.
And at this moment, looking at the still present Maitreya Buddha and Li Shan Lao Mu.
He naturally understood.
With these two here.
He would never be able to take away Xu Yuan, or the Spider Spirit family.
In other words - ‘Pan Si Ling’, this place where the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Old Master cultivated their elixirs, would likely be lost after today.
And how could he, the Crane Immortal, bear this responsibility?
“Buzz!”
But just at this moment.
From the celestial canopy above.
A golden light fell from the sky, landing only in front of the Crane Immortal.
At first glance, it was a decree.
It was engraved with golden characters, depicting a celestial palace.
One could faintly see that it was inscribed with the words ‘Mi Luo Jin Que Hao Tian Gao Shang Di Chi Gao’.
“The Great Heavenly Venerable's decree!?”
Therefore, the Crane Immortal's expression froze.
Immediately after receiving the decree, he carefully read it.
And after reading the content of the decree.
His expression was still gloomy, but he had slightly relaxed.
Then, he swept a glance at Maitreya Buddha and Li Shan Lao Mu: “Eastern Coming Buddha, Li Shan True One - The Great Heavenly Venerable's decree, instructs me to retrieve the ‘Confined Demon Formation Talisman’ that the Old Master left here in the past.”
“And instructs me to take away the ‘Tongue Taster’ and give it to another demon king.”
He said coldly.
“Hahaha! As you wish! As you wish!”
Maitreya Buddha patted his small belly, laughing as he said.
And Li Shan Lao Mu also remained silent.
The two of them also knew.
They could save Xu Yuan from Saint Mother Yuan Jun.
They could also save the Spider Spirit family from the Heavenly Court.
However, regarding Sun Wukong's six roots.
There was absolutely no room for discussion.
It was a consensus reached by both the Daoist and Buddhist paths, throughout the entire universe.
Whoever dared to stand in the way, would surely die!
Therefore, the Crane Immortal used his remaining left wing to wave the whisk in his hand.
The next moment
“Boom!”
Only the sound of rumbling from Pan Si Ling could be heard, as if something was collapsing.
Then, four purple talismans could be seen flying out from within Pan Si Ling.
They landed in front of the Crane Immortal.
And then, the Crane Immortal waved his whisk again.
From within the body of the Hundred-Eyed Demon King.
“Buzz!”
The ‘Tongue Taster’, emitting a brilliant golden light, also flew out from within his body.
“Hmph!”
And after the Crane Immortal received the two objects and carefully put them away.
He only looked at the group of demons and Xu Yuan on Pan Si Ling: “Today counts as your fate.”
“Wait for another day.”
After the voice, filled with a hint of hatred and disdain, fell.
He and Wang Ling Guan, simultaneously transformed into a stream of celestial light.
Flying toward the sky above!
“...”
And hearing the Crane Immortal's words, which clearly carried hatred.
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
But immediately.
His gaze turned towards Li Shan Lao Mu and Maitreya Buddha above.
“Two senior cultivators.”
His words were very respectful at this moment: “This time, thank you for your righteous assistance!”
Then, he thanked Hong Yi and the Morning Star Official.
His words were very sincere.
That's right.
Xu Yuan had long realized one thing.
In this time of black myths, people like him with no background.
If they wanted to break free from their constraints, it was extremely difficult.
So righteous celestial gods like Hong Yi, Morning Star Official, Maitreya Buddha, and even Li Shan Lao Mu, who were rare in this world.
It was natural to cultivate good relationships with them.
“Two senior cultivators, since you are here, why not stay at my Pan Si Ling for a few cups of celestial wine?”
He spoke enthusiastically.
But in his words.
Some things had silently changed.
That's right.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon King perished.
Saint Mother Yuan Jun compromised.
The Heavenly Court celestial officials retrieved the talismans and the six roots and returned to the Heavenly Court.
From today onwards, Pan Si Ling would change its name.
From today onwards, the master of Pan Si Ling... would be Xu Yuan!
“Drinking is unnecessary.”
At this moment, Li Shan Lao Mu also smiled casually.
She lightly waved her jade hand: “I have heard from Hong Yi about your affairs, and I won't hide it from you - your method of healing Morning Star's hand may be of great use to me in the future.”
“Helping you today is also out of a bit of self-interest... it doesn't count as true kindness.”
She said straightforwardly: “I am going back to my Daoist temple now - if you have time, you might come to Li Shan and chat with me.”
Her words did not hide her purpose at all.
“Of course, of course.”
And hearing this, Xu Yuan did not show much surprise.
He even muttered in his heart, "As expected."
He knew very well.
Although he had asked Hong Yi and the Morning Star Official to deliver the message, ultimately, he had given the favor to Hong Yi and the Morning Star Official.
These two were only juniors, logically speaking, they shouldn't have that much influence.
But Li Shan Lao Mu's attitude today, and the trump card she had played.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be her biggest trump card.
This straightforward attitude had made Xu Yuan feel strange from the very beginning.
Now that Li Shan Lao Mu had explained it, it actually made Xu Yuan have a higher opinion of her.
“For your kindness today, Xu Yuan has no way to repay - if you need anything from me in the future, feel free to ask.”
He promised seriously.
“Good!”
And hearing this, Li Shan Lao Mu nodded again.
Then, she swayed her body.
The next moment, she transformed into a stream of celestial wind.
Wrapping around Hong Yi, she flew towards the distance!
But the Maitreya Buddha, who looked like a young monk.
At this moment, he seemed to be pondering, looking at the departing Li Shan Lao Mu.
But at this moment...
“Buddha also has the same.”
Xu Yuan's gaze also fell upon Maitreya Buddha: “If you need anything from Xu...”
He was about to express himself.
But at this moment, Maitreya Buddha waved his chubby little hand: “Eh, not to lie to you, Master Xu.”
He said with a chuckle: “This monk has something to ask of you right now.”
As soon as he said this.
Xu Yuan's expression also froze for a moment.
To be honest.
The words of thanks he had said were sincere.
He remembered their kindness today, and if he could help Maitreya Buddha and Li Shan Lao Mu, he would definitely help.
But he hadn't expected.
This Eastern Coming Buddha would actually have something to ask of him so quickly.
“Buddha, please speak.”
However, Xu Yuan's response was without hesitation.
But he didn't expect.
“Master Xu, do you like to eat melons?”
The next moment, he actually heard Maitreya Buddha say with a chuckle.
“Ah?”
Therefore, Xu Yuan's first reaction was a full head of question marks.
“It's melons!”
Maitreya Buddha even pretended to hug something in his hands: “Big and round, sweet and delicious.”
“...I do like them.”
After a moment, Xu Yuan finally replied.
“That's it then.”
Therefore, Maitreya Buddha showed a happy expression: “This monk has a melon field in Little Western Paradise, the melons there are all planted by this monk himself.”
“This monk is enjoying them all by himself, which is not beautiful - so this monk invites you, Master, to come to my melon field next year during the Ullambana festival to enjoy them together... would you be willing to come?”
As soon as he said this.
Xu Yuan's expression also froze for a moment.
After a while, he finally nodded slightly: “Since Buddha has invited me, I will naturally come.”
“Compassion! Compassion!”
Therefore, Maitreya Buddha also nodded with a smile: “Then this monk will wait for you - Master, you must come!”
As his words fell.
The Buddha's figure also transformed into a pool of water and a phantom moon.
In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
Leaving only Xu Yuan, with a slightly furrowed brow, standing in place.
