A Confrontation Between God and Man

In Tian Chong City, at an inn's elegant room on the second floor.

"Junior Chu Qian and Lin Qingyu thanks the two seniors for saving our lives," said the disciple of the Immortal Chef Sect, Chu Qian, and the disciple of the Lingmei Sect, Lin Qingyu, bowing respectfully.

"Come, come, sit down, no need to be so formal," Lu Xuan greeted them with a smile. "How is the situation at Tian Chong Temple now?"

"Reporting to Senior Lu," Chu Qian began, "all disciples of Tian Chong Temple have become part of that monster's body, with only some of the service staff surviving. None of the Buddhist cultivators were spared. The common people and ordinary cultivators who attended the feast, however, are safe, thanks to the timely actions of the seniors present."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, "You did well yesterday. The safety of the people and monks attending the feast is a great merit to you."
