It was already late.
The red-headed ghost asked with a frown, "What's his descendant doing here?"
"To borrow the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra," The old monk replied.
The red-headed ghost sneered, "So, he's eyeing the number one secret classic of Core Formation. No wonder he came all the way here."
The old monk replied, "It's just a sutra. If his descendant wants to take a look, he can browse through all the sutras in the Sutra Chamber."
"You sure are generous,"
The red-headed ghost mumbled.
Right then, Su Zimo arrived at the backyard and was prepared to head to the red-headed ghost's place for a bowl of spirit water.
The old monk put away his spirit crane and turned to leave expressionlessly.
The red-headed ghost placed the spirit water in front of him before lying on the ground with his back facing Su Zimo. He did not say anything and looked a little unhappy.
Su Zimo was confused, wondering what the red-headed ghost was up to again.
Su Zimo did not ask nor did he think too much about it.
After 10 years, he already had some understanding of the red-headed ghost.
Even if he did not ask, the red-headed ghost would tell him of his own accord.
However, even if he pestered the red-headed ghost for answers, the latter would not say a single word about some things.
Su Zimo raised his head and drank the spirit water before sitting on the ground to cultivate.
…
The old monk returned not long after leaving the old temple.
Two more people appeared beside the old monk.
To be precise, they were a human and a demon!
The cultivator at the front did not look old and was at Jin Dan realm. Wearing purple robes, he had sharp brows and a chiseled face. His expression was indifferent and he exuded an aura that could dominate and suppress everything!
The purple-robed cultivator's gaze flickered and everywhere he passed by, even the air seemed to have stopped!
Just by standing there, he would make you unable to even think of resisting!
Behind the purple-robed cultivator stood a burly man that was more than two meters tall and was covered in long hair. His chest was wide open and his bones were thick while his eyes shone with a scarlet glint.
Anyone with a good eye would be able to tell that although the burly man was in human form, he was a complete demon beast!
The demonic aura around the burly man was extremely strong, and his eyes shone with a ferocious glint. It was obvious that he was not a kind person!
The old monk said, "There aren't many rules in this old temple. You're not allowed to step into the backyard. As for the other areas, you're free to roam around. If you want to read any sutras, you can just retrieve them."
The purple-robed cultivator nodded and shifted his gaze to Ming Zhen.
At that moment, Ming Zhen closed the sutra in his hands. He had just stood up and was about to bow to the purple-robed cultivator when the latter's cold voice sounded.
"Give me the scripture in your hand, because … I want to read it."
Ming Zhen was taken aback.
It was rare for there to be an additional person in the old temple. Even if the other party did not say anything, Ming Zhen would have taken the initiative to let him in.
But now, the purple-robed cultivator's tone was truly disgusting.
It was more like an order.
He wasn't polite at all!
Ming Zhen could sense that the purple-robed cultivator did not care about him at all, as though he was ordering a servant around.
Ming Zhen instinctively looked at the old monk.
The old monk sighed in his heart.
This was a matter between juniors after all. Even if the purple-robed cultivator's attitude was displeasing, it was not his place to criticize him.
As long as both parties did not fight to the death, the old monk did not want to interfere.
After bringing the purple-robed cultivator into the old temple, the old monk returned to the Great Strength Hall and closed the doors tightly.
"Monk, are you deaf? Master wants to read that sutra in your hands! Hurry and hand it over! "The hairy burly man behind the purple-robed cultivator hollered.
Ming Zhen frowned.
After hesitating for a moment, Ming Zhen handed over the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra in his hands.
The purple-robed cultivator received it casually with a calm expression, not even looking at Ming Zhen.
It was as though everything was expected.
Ming Zhen was not annoyed either. He merely smiled and turned to pick up another sutra to study.
Right then, the doors of the Sutra Chamber creaked open.
A furry little thing walked out from within. It was covered in fiery red fur, as though it was covered in flames – it was the little fox that had just woken up.
Yawning repeatedly, the little fox raised its tiny paws and rubbed its sleepy eyes. It was charmingly naive as it nearly tripped over the door of the Sutra Chamber.
Ming Zhen smiled.
The purple-robed cultivator ignored it and focused entirely on the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra in his hands, his eyes turning brighter.
When the hairy burly man behind him caught sight of the little fox, his eyes widened instantly!
The little fox shuddered and jolted awake.
The hairy burly man grinned. "Master, there's a vixen here. I'm going to capture her!"
"Yes,"
The purple-robed cultivator replied.
"Hahahaha!"
The hairy burly man's eyes shone with a lustful glint as he closed in on the little fox and grinned. "Little thing, where are you trying to hide?"
The hairy burly man was even more excited when he saw the little fox that was retreating in fear.
Swash!
Right then, the hairy burly man felt his vision blur and another person appeared.
Ming Zhen placed his palms together and said in a deep voice, "Patron, please stop!"
The hairy burly man was in the midst of his lust and had evil thoughts. Instantly, his expression turned extremely terrible as he asked with a ferocious glint in his eyes, "Is that vixen your Dao companion?"
"No," Ming Zhen shook his head.
"Is she your spirit beast?" The hairy burly man asked again.
"No," Ming Zhen shook his head.
The hairy burly man was like an iron tower as he looked down at Ming Zhen with a domineering aura. Smirking, he said, "Then why aren't you getting lost?"
"No,"
This time round, Ming Zhen did not retreat and his tone was resolute and unquestionable!
"Monk, how dare you try to stop me if you're so capable!"
The hairy burly man reached out with his massive palm and his fingertips shone with a cold glint as he grabbed towards Ming Zhen's head!
If he managed to grab it, five bloody holes would appear on Ming Zhen's head immediately.
"Om!"
Ming Zhen did not dodge and chanted Sanskrit.
"Roar!"
The moment Ming Zhen chanted Sanskrit, the hairy burly man roared at him as well!
Instantly, the world quaked and the weather changed!
That roar dispelled Ming Zhen's Daming Mantra instantly.
The hairy burly man was terrifyingly strong!
The hairy burly man's palm descended and Ming Zhen had nowhere to retreat. Spirit energy surged from his fingertips and formed a lotus flower that welcomed the attack.
Boom!
The hairy burly man's palm collided with the lotus flower.
There was a momentary pause.
The lotus flower shattered!
Ming Zhen grunted and staggered three steps back.
Boom!
Before he could react, the hairy burly man's fist descended once more, smashing down viciously like a gigantic hammer. An explosive sound echoed through the voids!
A look of hesitation flashed through Ming Zhen's eyes.
Right now, the best solution was to release Jin Dan's phenomenon.
However, the release of Jin Dan's phenomenon was a signal to determine life and death!
After all, these two people were brought to the monastery personally by his master – was he going to release Jin Dan's phenomenon to determine life and death?
During that moment of hesitation, the hairy burly man's fist had already arrived before him.
Ming Zhen could only defend hurriedly and release his bloodline. Jin Dan circulated with all its might and blocked with both arms!
Bang!
Ming Zhen was sent flying by the hairy burly man's punch and rolled a couple of times on the ground in a wretched manner.
"Hehe!"
The hairy burly man chased after him with a ferocious glint in his eyes as he said coldly, "How dare you try to block my path with that bit of capabilities!"
"Don't go overboard."
Right then, another voice sounded in the courtyard. It was calm and peaceful, as though it possessed a mysterious charm that could make one put down their weapons!
