184: The most dramatic scene of the year ever! The Buddha's disciple tries to persuade the demon dog to eat vegetarian food, and the divine child laughs hysterically!

Under the guidance of the local expert Liu Ruyan, Su Chen and his group quickly arrived at an extremely secluded valley.

In the center of the valley, there was a naturally formed blood-red pool.

The pool water was crystal clear yet displayed an eerie bright red. Faint blood mist swirled over the surface, making it look like a giant ruby embedded in the earth.

"This is the place."

Liu Ruyan let go of Su Chen's arm, walked to the edge of the blood pool, and flicked her jade-like finger.

A beam of demonic light sank into the pool.

The pool water, which had been as calm as a mirror, suddenly boiled, and clear images began to flow and surface on the water.

The images showed real-time scenes from various corners of the Yellow Springs Secret Realm.

There were demonic cultivators fighting ferocious Vicious Beasts, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

There were demonic cultivators teaming up to break ancient Restrictions, facing life-threatening situations.

There were even two groups of people fighting over a single Spirit Medicine, blasting each other with Demonic Techniques in a chaotic scene.

This place was practically a natural monitoring center with a 360-degree panoramic view and ultra-HD quality.

"This is the 'Yellow Springs Blood Mirror,' one of the core hubs of the Secret Realm."

Liu Ruyan's voice carried a hint of boastful laziness.

"Through it, we can glimpse everything happening in ninety percent of the Secret Realm's areas."

"Of course, excluding those most critical places like the Devil Emperor's bedchamber."

Su Chen's eyes lit up as he watched this magical scene.

[Holy crap! Holy crap, crap, crap! What kind of divine technology is this!]

[A panoramic sky-screen! A live broadcast! Isn't this a VIP viewing box tailor-made for a professional spectator like me?]

[Liu Ruyan, this crazy beauty, is actually pretty good! She's got some skills! To think she was hiding such a good treasure!]

[Now watching the show is a sure thing!]

Su Chen rubbed his hands in excitement, his inner agitation almost uncontrollable.

With a wave of his hand, his Storage Ring flashed with light.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Table, three Nine Heavens Cloud Brocade Chairs, plus a full set of snacks like melon seeds, peanuts, dried demonic beef, and chilled spirit fruits. Finally, there was a pot of top-tier green tea emitting misty Spiritual Qi.

A complete "show-watching set" was arranged by him in a smooth, flowing motion.

"Come, come, come, don't just stand there. Sit, everyone sit down and watch!"

He acted like a host enthusiastically inviting friends to watch a ball game.

Spring Flower and Qiu Yue immediately understood. One skillfully arranged the table and chairs while the other began brewing tea and pouring water, cooperating with unbelievable chemistry.

Looking at Su Chen's absurdly professional "show-watching" posture, the lines on Ling Qingzhu's eternally frozen face couldn't hold firm.

[He... he actually carries tables, chairs, and snacks for watching a show on him at all times?]

[Is this what he calls 'strategizing from a distance'?]

[Gaining insight into the overall situation while leisurely enjoying himself, and controlling the enemy's movements amidst laughter and banter...]

[This kind of state of mind, this kind of vision...]

[Su Chen, you truly are... a man I can never see through.]

She silently sat down in the seat to Su Chen's left and picked up a cup of spirit tea. Her gaze, however, was tightly locked onto the images in the pool, trying her best to look like she was exhaustively analyzing intelligence.

Seeing Su Chen's salted fish appearance, the smile in the corners of Liu Ruyan's eyes almost overflowed.

"Little Chen Chen, you really understand your sister's heart best."

She sat down right next to Su Chen's right side without any reservation, her breath like orchids as she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and began skillfully cracking them.

Her posture made it seem as if she were the mistress of the house.

"Quick, let Big Sister see what kind of interesting characters have sneaked in this time."

Liu Ruyan's slender finger tapped lightly on the water's surface, and the images in the blood mirror began to switch rapidly.

Soon, her movements paused as an extremely bizarre scene caught everyone's attention.

It was in a gloomy black marshland.

A "demonic cultivator" wearing a studded black robe, with two upward-slanting angry eyebrows drawn on his face with soot, was facing a mountain-sized, three-headed Nine Nether Demonic Hound that was dripping with foul-smelling slime. His hands were pressed together, and his face was full of compassion.

"Amitabha! This canine benefactor, this humble monk sees that your forehead is dark and your Devilish Qi is heavy. You must be burdened by the karma of killing, with great troubles in your heart!"

It was indeed the disguised Buddhist Son of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Holy Land, Monk Jiese.

That Nine Nether Demonic Hound was clearly on the verge of a mental breakdown from his nagging. The six blood-red pupils on its three heads were filled with irritability and ferocity. A threatening low growl issued from its throats, as if it would tear him to pieces in the next second.

Monk Jiese was completely unafraid, instead showing a face of pity for the world.

"Canine benefactor, do not be so irritable. Slaughter cannot solve problems. Look at how majestic and strong you are, why be addicted to bloodshed? These are all appearances, all illusions!"

"As the saying goes, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. If you are willing to listen to this humble monk and quit the bad habit of eating raw meat to switch to a vegetarian diet, I guarantee you will not only gain inner peace but also improve your appearance, making your stylish black fur glossy and beautiful!"

"This humble monk has top-tier vegetarian food just brought from the Spirit Mountain. Would you like to try some?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Jiese actually pulled out a plate of steaming, green, and bland-looking tofu and vegetables from his Storage Pouch.

“Pfft—!”

A mouthful of Enlightenment Tea that Su Chen had just sipped sprayed out without warning.

"Cough! Cough cough cough cough!"

He was choked until his face turned red, one hand clutching his chest and the other pointing at the image in the blood mirror. He trembled so violently with laughter on his chair that he almost slid to the ground.

"Ha... Hahaha! It's... it's that monk again?!"

Su Chen laughed until tears came out.

Liu Ruyan was stunned at first, but then she also burst into a fit of clear, bell-like laughter, shaking like a flower in the wind, doubled over.

"Hehe... Where did this clown come from? Since when did the Ten Thousand Buddhas Holy Land start training such strategic talents?"

She laughed while accurately spitting the melon seed shells into the dish in front of her, watching with great interest.

Only Ling Qingzhu was still trying hard to maintain her demeanor as an icy Saintess.

But her slightly pursed lips and uncontrollably twitching shoulders completely betrayed the fact that she was desperately holding back laughter.

[The Righteous Path... just what kind of people did they send?]

[Are these really the elites who were entrusted with the heavy responsibility of coming to destroy the demon codex?]

[Why does it feel like... each one is more absurd than the last?]

In the blood mirror.

That Nine Nether Demonic Hound's patience had clearly reached its limit.

It let out a roar that shook the marsh at the plate of vegetables and tofu, and the middle head suddenly opened its bloody maw.

A jet-black beam of light containing destructive aura blasted towards Monk Jiese!

"Amitabha! Benefactor, let's talk things out, why are you getting physical!"

Monk Jiese was startled and hastily summoned a string of Buddhist beads, which turned into a golden 'Wan' symbol light shield in front of him.

Boom!

The Demonic Energy beam slammed hard against the light shield, erupting with startling energy.

The entire marshland shook violently because of it.

Meanwhile, in the "VIP viewing area" where Su Chen and the others were, even more exaggerated laughter erupted.

"Hahaha! I'm dying! Spring Flower! Quick! The Recording Divine Stone! Record this segment for me from every angle!"

Su Chen barked orders while gasping for breath amidst his wild laughter.

"This is a family heirloom-level cringe scene that can be recorded in the history books! In the future, if anyone dares to make This Divine Son unhappy, I'll show them this on a loop!"

"Yes, Divine Son!"

Spring Flower suppressed her laughter and hurriedly took out the Recording Divine Stone to begin her "work."

A thrilling undercover operation concerning the future landscape of the Xuanyuan Continent had completely turned into the best comedy blockbuster of the year here with Su Chen.
