Zhang Shao's posture and those pleasant words instantly left the Jiang Sisters and their family dumbfounded.

Even Tao Buddha in the statue couldn't help but laugh.

Goodness gracious!

Now he understood how this fellow got the so-called title of "filial prince."

Disagree and immediately call someone 'father'; truly, his filial piety is praiseworthy, moving heaven and earth.

If it were another ambitious rebel, or some insidious deity, perhaps they might actually agree with this fellow.

But Tao Buddha could never agree; how could he regard a person like this highly?

However, even if he wanted to agree, he couldn't. Tao Qian's real body, far away in the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, was aware of everything happening here. Upon seeing the scene, he immediately issued a warning within his heart soul:

"Buddha, don't act recklessly; your previous wanton actions I did not interfere with, allowing you to act freely."

"But if you truly agree with this scoundrel and tarnish my reputation, be careful of my punishment."

Tao Qian's real body, with just these few words, was quite stern.

He sent out the avatar of Buddha to participate in the selection of the Secret Demon Sect Master for the sake of trial-seeking the Dao, but it doesn't mean he has no control over his avatar.

If others practice that avatar skill, once successful, the separated avatar can become an independent person.

Only Master Tao Da, due to his special heart soul, also has control over the avatar.

Tao Buddha naturally understood this, so at this time he responded in the soul:

"True Monarch, don't worry, your reputation won't be tarnished."

"I, Tao Buddha, am not a collector of trash; even if I were to collect, it would be a throng of beautiful adopted daughters. Such an unpleasant thing calling me 'father,' I could never agree to."

"However, it's ultimately a good pawn, and before exploiting it completely, I must put on a pretentious front."

Once the thoughts settled.

Filial Prince Zhang Shao, full of expectation to call someone 'father,' immediately heard the response of the Peach Blossom God.

"You, for now, cannot be my descendant."

"If you can pass the trial and achieve great accomplishments in the Peach Blossom Dao, eventually you can cultivate a god-demon body."

"At present, consider matters of building meritorious deeds."

...

Zhang Shao consumed an entire bottle of [Peach Nightmare Elixir], paying a heavy price, and both his Dharma body and heart soul were already considered as Tao Qian's people. As long as he heard this god-demon sound, he couldn't conjure even the slightest resistance or doubt.

He was indeed miserable, his skills were formidable, his wisdom high, not to mention he had ten thousand ghosts under his command.

Yet, having just set foot on the path of cultivation, he knew too little of the 'tricks,' completely underestimating the severity of being drugged.

Now, even hearing the refusal, Zhang Shao felt not a hint of displeasure in his heart. Instead, he was full of excitement and fervor, piously kowtowing once again, saying:

"My lord's divine decree, Shao shall surely follow."

"How to proceed, I'm at your command."

"As for that troublesome [Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva], Shao will cast a spell to summon its avatar projection and directly reprimand it, severing ties."

"This Bodhisattva Group, Shao will not partake in."

"In life, I'm a Peach Blossom Child; in death, a Peach Blossom Ghost."

"If my heart strays, may I suffer the punishment of death by Five Thunder Strikes."

His actions once again astonished Tao Qian and the Jiang Sisters' family.

This fellow had just switched allegiances, and now intends to retaliate against the former master.

Severing the transmission of teachings wasn't enough; he even planned to summon the avatar of the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva to reprimand it directly?

Tao Qian, learning some of the details of the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva from the Little Divination Worm, couldn't help but momentarily pause, helplessly thinking:

"Has he added too much spice to this situation?"

"Is the power of an entire bottle of Peach Nightmare Elixir really this strong, making this fellow so brave?"

"Confronting the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva... do you know who you're up against to confront so directly?"

While Tao Buddha was ridiculing, he had to speak up to calm this fellow.

"Do not act impulsively!"

"The Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva has put in considerable effort to cultivate this million-strong clan; to seize it forcibly would not be proper."

"Why not continue as the [Bodhisattva Group] existence, still leading ten thousand ghosts, quietly approaching the remaining six righteous sons of the Seven Slaughter Kings, devising a way for them to also enjoy the blessings, eat some Immortal Peaches, and finally let that [Seven Slaughter King Zhang Xianzhong] eat some... When the time is right, upon arranging the ritualistic big array, I can transform you all into Peach Blossom Clan, thereby breaking free of the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva's control."

"You need not worry about being detected and exposed by the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, for my divine skills are stronger, and under the cover of casting, it cannot perceive."

"However, you must act swiftly, as delaying will unnecessarily consume more of my divine power, a cost you might not be able to afford."

This slew of words, a venomous plan unleashed.

The Jiang Sisters were all deeply shocked, increasingly convinced that the Peach Blossom God they followed, outwardly appearing as a legitimate god-demon.

Yet in secret, seemed capable of all sorts of insidious machinations.

But they only expressed surprise, with no other thoughts.

Observations from the Search God Realm No. 2:

All god-demons entering the world have something they seek.

Even those appearing compassionate and merciful good gods may harbor hidden intentions.

What the Peach Blossom God does is also normal.

They showed no reaction, but Zhang Shao was quite exaggerated, continuously praising:

"Such is excellent, my lord is wise."

"I only wish for my lord's Dao to spread throughout this realm."

"The people of this world should all join my [Peach Blossom God Sect]."

"My lord, please wait a moment... Shao will return shortly."

With those words, the filial prince turned and headed deeper into the military tent, with a face full of excitement, likely going to sacrifice some treasure in hopes of receiving commendation from the Peach Blossom God.

Zhang Shao was quite excited, feeling he had found a stronger supporter, hoping for transcendence, with the god-demon ahead.

Meanwhile, the Jiang Sisters felt a bit apprehensive, for the "weird divine power" displayed by the Peach Blossom God was indeed surprising.
