[You killed twenty Postnatal Realm Mouse Demons, Cultivation +16000]

[You killed a hundred Qi Refining Realm Mouse Demons, Cultivation +12000]

[You killed seven thousand unworthy Mouse Spirits, Cultivation +110000]

[Congratulations, host, breakthrough to Innate Sixth Layer]

[Congratulations, host, breakthrough to Innate Seventh Layer]

The demonic wind in the mountains gradually stopped, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.

Lin Heng closed his eyes and felt it.

This wave of extermination in Nanling Cave brought him tens of thousands in Cultivation Value, and he also broke through two small realms.

Lin Heng showed a satisfied smile.

At this moment, Yan Tong rushed over with a somewhat heavy tone: "Observatory Master, we’ve got uninvited guests."

Lin Heng looked in the direction she pointed and coincidentally met Fa Ling’s gaze in the distance.

Lin Heng’s eyebrows slightly raised.

He recognized that the old monk was the Abbot Fa Ling of Zen Spirit Temple.

As a well-known high monk in Chang City, Lin Heng had heard more or less about him.

There’s no doubt, this is a very powerful being!

But that was only true for the old Lin Heng.

"Observatory Master, should I alert the Spirit Suppression Bureau?" Yan Tong asked worriedly.

The Buddhist Sect and Daoist Sect, as the two top forces of Dragon Country, have never ceased their centuries-long overt and covert struggles.

Even though the Daoist Sect’s Five Great Holy Lands have long been sealed off.

In recent decades, the Buddhist Sect has not given up on suppressing the Daoist Sect either.

And this Abbot Fa Ling from Zen Spirit Temple, who rarely leaves the temple, suddenly showing up here now made Yan Tong worry about his intentions.

Lin Heng, however, was more at ease, casually saying, "No need, the people he’s with don’t look like they’re here to cause trouble."

He paused, a cold smile briefly flickering in his eyes, "If they’re indeed here to start trouble, they should be the ones worried."

Lin Heng’s sharp gaze and imposing demeanor exuded a sense of arrogance and dominance.

Yan Tong shivered slightly, thinking of the Observatory Master’s terrifying power, she couldn’t help but smile.

"True, while Zen Spirit Temple’s Abbot is profoundly mysterious, compared to the Observatory Master, he might still be lacking!"

She gradually regained her calm.

"Alright, we’ve been busy enough today, come to my Daoist Temple tomorrow, and I’ll help you with other places," Lin Heng said.

After slaying the demons, the moon unknowingly hung high in the sky.

The remaining demon nests can’t escape, solving them tomorrow will be the same.

"Alright, then let’s go down the mountain."

The two spoke lightly and walked out of the forest.

Among the media workers, excited expressions appeared as they saw the two coming down.

At this moment, Fa Ling finally snapped out of it, and upon seeing the excited joy on the media behind him, his eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, but he quickly smoothed them out in front of the cameras.

Turning back, Fa Ling looked deeply at the approaching Lin Heng and Yan Tong.

He suppressed his gloomy expression, forcefully squeezed out a cold smile, and said to Lin Heng with a hint of sarcasm:

"Isn’t this Qingxu’s disciple? Unexpectedly..."

He didn’t finish his sentence.

The indifferent Lin Heng shook his head and uttered three words.

Then he brushed past Fa Ling.

He didn’t even look at Fa Ling.

That was truly aloof!

Leaving Fa Ling and Kong Wen, the two old monks, dumbfounded.

Fa Ling’s expression turned bizarre, followed by extreme speechless anger.

This little Daoist, what’s he thinking?

Did he actually think the old monk was asking him for an autograph?

How dare he even consider that?

Fa Ling, having reacted, twitched angrily at the corner of his mouth.

And the media workers, after their brief stupor, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The viewers in the streamer’s live room, even more so, were beside themselves with laughter.

"Haha, no autograph? What kind of thought process does this Daoist have? It’s hilarious."

"It’s killing me, a seventy-eight-year-old high monk going up to greet, and right before finishing, the other party responds with ’no autograph,’ save me, it’s too cute!"

"Speaking of, is this Daoist so handsome he’s traumatized by autograph requests? Yet the other party’s a highly revered old monk, haha..."

"It’s done, done, look the high monk’s expression turned green, he must be angry."

"A dignified temple abbot speaking with a young Daoist, only to be thought as asking for an autograph? Who wouldn’t be dumbfounded..."

"Eighty-year-old fan-chasing Daoist? Folks, I’m laughing to death..."

"I must say, this little Daoist is really aloof, I really like him!"

"Romantic dreamer, get out!"

The netizens were rolling with laughter at the Daoist’s aloof yet earnest response.

Several streamers were red-faced trying not to laugh.

Admittedly, the show really nailed its effect.

Kong Wen’s expression at that moment was indescribably frustrated.

From dawn, Zen Spirit Temple’s plans were constantly disrupted, each time by that wretched Qingfeng Temple Observatory Master!

From the crematorium issue.

To the day’s busy demon-banishing broadcast.

Zen Spirit Temple didn’t get to gloriously showcase their power, but instead, repeatedly changing locations gave the media an unreliable impression.

Now even worse, they rushed to Nanling Cave just to prevent falling behind the disruptors.

Yet it backfired, as the media captured Lin Heng’s glorious showcase.

And the absolute cherry on top was the Abbot approaching and greeting that kid.

Only for the kid to ignore him?

Not only does this slap the face of the Abbot, but the face of Zen Spirit Temple, leaving Kong Wen incredibly frustrated.

But he understands all too well.

His master must be even more frustrated!

As a prominent figure in Chang City, leading Zen Spirit Temple.

Even Lu Guoshuang from the Empire’s Spirit Suppression Bureau needs to give the Abbot respect!

Yet now, a mere Qingfeng Temple Observatory Master dares to ignore the Abbot?

The anger inside the Abbot’s heart is imaginable!

"Master, going forward... still heading down?"

Kong Wen asked cautiously.

Fa Ling took a deep breath, holding back his rage, "Go, of course, we must!"

He indicated that today, it was imperative to behead demons in front of the media!

But as soon as he finished speaking, the media workers all awkwardly laughed and said:

"Uh, Master, I have matters at home, so I won’t be following closely..."

"I just received a call, my wife is giving birth, so I have to return."

"Really? My wife is giving birth too, let’s go together."

"Abbot Master, I also have something to attend to, I must take leave."

Everyone had expressions of urgency.

You’re kidding, the scene of the Daoist summoning thunderbolts and triumphing is already captured.

It’s time to hurry back and draft stories to race for trending topics.

Even if filmed, what then? Could it be more impactful than the Daoist chasing mountain spirits?

Everyone unanimously said farewell and left, their eager expressions suggesting they didn’t want to linger a second longer.

Seeing the situation, even with Fa Ling’s stable disposition, it still caused him to twitch angrily, his expression twisted.

One side, Kong Wen’s face was as if he’d swallowed a dead mouse, incredibly unpleasant.

Yet considering the Buddhist Sect’s image, he could only say to the soon enraged Abbot:

"Master, let’s forget it..."

His tone carried a deep sigh.

Fa Ling watched these cursed media depart, gripping and releasing his wooden fish repeatedly.

Ultimately, he looked up, took a deep breath, suppressed his murderous intent, and said gloomily:

"Return to the temple."

When the two returned to Zen Spirit Temple, the monks had complex expressions.

Though they didn’t go, some saw the livestream.

Regarding everything that happened today, everyone was aware.

Seeing the Abbot’s gloomy expression, no one dared approach, only bow from afar, fearing to incur his wrath.
