As the foremost ancestor of Dunjia Mountain, he naturally recognized that Zhao Longhu had not suddenly gone mad, but rather that his mind had been contaminated by Zhou Xuan’s perception.

So, he used his own perception to rescue Zhao Longhu, which led to the brief clarity Zhao Longhu experienced just now,

However, Zhou Xuan’s contamination of Zhao Longhu was just a test of his abilities, and he hadn’t used his full strength. But the Hulu Taoist’s interference changed the nature of the matter.

"Do you want to compete with me in terms of perception? Then let’s have a contest."

Zhou Xuan immediately awakened the Blood Well Human Brain in the Secret Realm, even calling upon Miss Qiang, using her willpower to reinforce his Secret Realm,

All these actions showed that Zhou Xuan aimed to push his perception to its strongest state.

"Anyone who tries to challenge me through perception cannot escape my contamination."

...

"Has Zhou Xuan’s perception reached such a level?"

After Zhou Xuan’s initial wave of perception’s counterattack began,

the Hulu Taoist realized that he had underestimated his opponent. If his ancestor’s perception was like a raging sea, then Zhou Xuan’s perception was the ocean itself,

his perception was swiftly enveloped, and various complex "desires" exploded in his mind one after another.

He found himself surrounded by beautiful teachers, much like Zhao Longhu.

For a moment, this great cultivator felt a faint sense of heat.

Fortunately, the other grand ancestors of Dunjia Mountain sensed the Hulu Taoist’s plight and attached their perceptions to him one by one.

The six great grand masters combined their perceptions into a single force to combat Zhou Xuan’s perception.

However,

if Zhou Xuan’s perception had already been vast like that of a God-level after entering the "Day Trip" realm, then now, as the "Manifestation of the Day and Night Wandering God," his perception surpassed God-level,

the six grand ancestors combined their six perceptions, yet they still could not resist,

the Hulu Taoist knew the situation had turned, this "battle on the perception level," where even with six people working together, was like an ant trying to shake a tree,

so he quickly decided and shouted, "Cut off perception."

The other five grand ancestors sequentially cut off their perceptions, withdrawing from the battle,

after ensuring their junior disciples were safe, the Hulu Taoist suddenly withdrew his perception.

This sudden withdrawal did not mean absolute safety,

Zhou Xuan’s contamination had already fully settled within the Hulu Taoist, continuously assailing his consciousness.

"Zhou Xuan himself is a treasure of the Heaven and Earth."

Facing the contamination within his body, the Hulu Taoist had no other choice, he took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it forward.

The talisman paper immediately transformed into a pair of scissors.

The Hulu Taoist stuck out his tongue,

the scissors snapped down on his tongue with a clatter.

A section of his tongue was immediately severed,

the severed tongue writhed on the ground like a worm,

he picked up the lively severed tongue and continued chanting spells, and the tongue began to harden, with fishy red worms drilling out from each dense spot on the tongue’s surface.

Tens of thousands of worms surged into his body, gnawing within his flesh.

This onslaught of thousands of worms brought pain no less extreme than any cruel torture on earth.

And only such extreme pain could help him endure the "perception pollution."

The unbearable agony caused the Hulu Taoist to break into a sweat,

finally, after wave after wave of contamination and pain, everything returned to normal.

The Hulu Taoist seemed to have retrieved a life, heaved a heavy sigh, and began chanting spells,

his severed tongue grew back, but since he wasn’t adept in blood and flesh rebirth like the Bone Elder, the new tongue was only as thick as a finger, causing him to slur his speech.

"That Zhou Xuan must be captured back to Dunjia Thr..."

The Hulu Taoist started to speak,

but due to his slurred speech, he pronounced "Mountain" as "Three."

"Zhou Xuan truly is a demon."

The other grand ancestors hiding in the dark all came to a new realization about Zhou Xuan.

This young man was stronger than they had imagined.

...

Zhao Longhu’s corruption continued, and naturally, so did his mimicry,

finally, after the sound of Zhou Xuan closing the folded fan echoed, Zhao Longhu regained his senses.

He looked down at his "disgraceful appearance," his graying body, entirely exposed, covered in sweat from his earlier escapade, he immediately felt flushed.

"Mr. Zhao, shake a bit more, my colleague has quickly sent over several new rolls of film."

"I guarantee that tomorrow the entire newspaper page will be dedicated to you, Master Zhao."

The assurance from media friends infuriated Zhao Longhu, and he immediately wanted to kill the reporter in front of him.

As he was about to act, a white robe blocked Zhao Longhu.

King Xishan had intervened, using the "Daoist Non-action" from the Gorge True Scripture, his hands, as soft as water waves and light shadows, gently neutralized Zhao Longhu’s force,

then, the newly appointed Fox King coldly smiled and said, "The Qintianjian people have such means, committing indecent acts in public isn’t enough, they still want to kill to silence witnesses?"

"Everyone in Jiang Mansion saw your disgraceful behavior here, can you kill them all?"
