    "But... just look, can Xi Xi catch the eye of the Great Grandmaster?"


    Lu Chi spoke.


    Taoist King Ku Yu, upon hearing this, immediately straightened up; as long as it wasn''t about fighting and killing, he was all seriousness.


    However, he glanced at that small domineering girl.


    A frown of conflict was heavy on King Ku Yu''s face.


    "Difficult, difficult, difficult... The Great Grandmaster hasn''t taken any disciples for many years."


    "In the past two years, a prodigy ranked tenth on the Dao City Prodigy Leaderboard came to pay their respects, hoping to become a disciple of the Great Grandmaster, but they were not accepted either."


    "It''s possible the Great Grandmaster may not take any more disciples."


    Nan Lihuo''s brows slowly furrowed, "But there should still be one slot for a direct disciple under the Great Grandmaster, right?"


    "Yes, there is one slot left, but that doesn''t mean it''ll definitely be filled..."


    King Ku Yu shook his head.


    "Xi Xi really does have great talent!"


    Nan Lihuo said earnestly.


    "Junior brother, indeed the girl has talent, otherwise the Dao City Imperial Heavenly Observatory wouldn''t have noticed her, ranking her twenty-first on the Prodigy Leaderboard."


    "But... it''s only twenty-first," King Ku Yu added.


    "Xi Xi is only four years old!"


    Nan Lihuo spoke earnestly; she was only four years old, what more could you want?


    The Taoist paused: "If she weren''t four years old... she might not even have made it onto the Prodigy Leaderboard."


    Nan Lihuo exhaled.


    And said no more.


    "Junior brother, don''t be disheartened, whether she is accepted or not... it''s still up to the Great Grandmaster."


    "Maybe... the Great Grandmaster just happens to fancy this little girl."


    King Ku Yu didn''t write off the possibility completely.


    Nan Lihuo smiled, no longer fixated, and requested the Taoist to preside over the matter of the challenge.


    Then, he gracefully entered the Divine Palace.


    The grand doors suddenly closed, with a resounding roar.


    King Ku Yu flicked his whisk, exhaling deeply: "Junior brother oh junior brother... when will this cycle of vengeance end?"


    "Su Huai... the smallest disciple of the Chaos King Ji Molie, and a highly favored one, was sent to the Golden Light Prefecture... apart from valuing the Four Sovereigns Eight Arms Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Mysterious Temple..."


    "They also have their eye on junior brother."


    "Ji Molie... has also taken notice of you, junior brother."


    Hai Chao Sheng could only wait for the Sect''s annual evaluation at the end of the year to reclaim his position.


    Li Qingshan was sitting on a chair, comforting Nurse Momo.


    Then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of something.


    Words of comfort were stuck in his throat as he squinted and looked into the distance.


    In the vague distance, he thought he saw a towering, familiar figure...


    "Bull Demon?"


    Li Qingshan frowned.


    Lately, activities of the Green Elegant Ox and Horse duo had decreased, and now he was seeing illusions, missing the Bull Demon?


    "No! That is the Bull Demon!"


    "Dammit! Are there plans afoot that no one told me about?"


    Li Qingshan quickly realized something.


    How could the Bull Demon possibly appear at Golden Light Peak without reason?


    For Li Qingshan, with his keen sense of mischief, the clues were quickly coming together.


    "The Bull Demon... taking on secret jobs without me?"


    ...


    ...


    Nan Lihuo crushed the white chess piece.


    His near-Primordial Spirit level Divine Sense had scanned the chess piece many times.


    Just a common Divinity chess piece with nothing strange about it.


    Yet, by crushing the chess piece, the Bull Demon was alerted?


    Completing information transmission?


    What secret technique was this?


    Nan Lihuo was very curious; though the information transmitted was limited, at crucial moments, it could change the course of a battle.


    Suddenly, a towering figure emerged from the darkness.


    A hat, black robe, and the Cute Bull Mask.


    If not the Bull Demon, then who?


    And he actually appeared!


    Nan Lihuo''s heart skipped a beat, becoming even more curious about the Bull Demon''s Breath Concealment technique.


    "The Underworld..."


    An unknown force.


    With such stealth capabilities, surely not mediocre.
