In front of the Great Tongming Treasure Hall, Zhang Li remained silent for a long time.
Chen Ji looked at the young Taoist standing under the plaque with his head down, his eyes shadowed and indistinct. Ever since meeting this chief disciple of the Huangshan Dao Court, the man seemed to always be smiling, except for this time.
After a moment, Zhang Li raised his head and asked, "What did Master say when the Superior issued the decree?"
Zhang Ning recalled, "Master said to follow the instructions."
Zhang Li asked again, "What other decrees did the Superior issue?"
Gripping the Seven-Star Sword tightly, Zhang Ning turned to look at the Big Green Ox by the bronze cauldron, still sneaking the last wisp of incense: "This beast steals the incense and power of the devotees, rebellious and obstinate, it must be killed as a warning."
