Lu Chenjia felt that her face was wet and cold.
She reached out her hand and felt the blood on her hand.
Looking at her blood-stained hand, she was in a trance. She squeezed out a smile on her pale face and slowly raised her hands to cover her face. Then, she suddenly burst into tears.
Tears and blood dripped down from the gaps between her fingers.
She cried in pain, not because of the wound on her face and the possibility of disfigurement, but because she realized that it was difficult for her to avenge Long Qing in front of Ning Que.
The people in the temple looked at the Flower Addict, who was crying bitterly and covering her face. They looked at the ground that had been crushed by Master Boshu's Emblematic Gesture. They looked at Ning Que, who was standing silently with his blade.
The Academy enjoyed a high prestige in the cultivation world, but that was because the Headmaster of the Academy was highly respected. He was also related to the legendary Mr. First and Mr. Second. However, few people thought that Ning Que was very strong.
No one knew whether it was from the Tao Addict or the Calligraphy Addict, but everyone agreed that Ning Que was the weakest World Wayfarer in the history of the Unknown Lands.
Even though he had challenged and killed Xia Hou at the Cold Winter Lake last year, the powerhouses in the cultivation world thought that it was mainly because General Xia Hou had been seriously injured by Tang, the Wayfarer of the Devil's Doctrine, and Sangsang, the Lady of Light, had performed amazingly in that battle.
This had nothing to do with his talent in understanding.
In their eyes, Ning Que had only been in the Academy for a few years. Even if he had the Opportunity to enter the Knowing Destiny State, it was not long ago. How could he not be at a disadvantage when faced with the Xuankong Temple's eminent monks? Moreover, he had seriously injured Quni Madi and cut the Flower Addict's face before retreating.
That was the Flower Addict, who was famous for her beauty among the three addicts in the world. How could Ning Que be so cruel to her? While everyone in the hall was shocked by Ning Que's strength, they were also frightened by his ruthlessness.
Ning Que did not care about what others thought.
The rules of the Academy were simple. Other than the toughness of one's fist, the most important thing was the principle of reciprocity. If you wanted to kill me, I would definitely kill you. If you wanted to kill Sangsang, I would kill you even more. If not for Master Boshu's powerful Buddhist Sect Handprint, his blade would have cut off Lu Chenjia's head.
"Xuankong Temple wants to interfere in the Academy's affairs?"
Ning Que looked at Master Boshu. Ever since he saw the Buddhist chariot on Tile Mountain, he had been on guard. He knew the relationship between the Buddhism Sect and the Yuelun Kingdom, but he didn't know how far they would go.
Master Boshu looked at him silently. His gaze landed on his left hand, which was at the side of his waist.
When he displayed the Emblematic Gesture of the Buddhism Sect, Ning Que's left hand made a beak gesture.
It was precisely that beak-like technique that caused the downward momentum of the giant handprint to stagnate.
Master Boshu did not know the origin of Ning Que's hand gesture and guessed that it was a supreme art of the Academy. However, he still did not understand why Ning Que seemed to have such a deep understanding of the Buddhism Sect's Giant Handprint.
In the eyes of the people in the hall, Master Boshu's silence was due to another reason.
Quni Madi held Lu Chenjia in her arms. She looked at the blood on her face and thought of her son who had died tragically in Chang 'an. Her expression became even more vicious.
She stared at Ning Que fiercely and shouted with a hoarse and painful voice, "You bastard! You killed Master Daoshi of Xuankong Temple and injured Chen Jia like this. I, Yuelun, will never forgive you! Even Buddha will not forgive you! "
Everyone in the hall was silent. Everyone knew that the battle between Master Daoshi of Xuankong Temple and Ning Que on the morning street of Chang 'an was, in a sense, a challenge from the Buddhism Sect to the people of the Academy who had entered the human realm. No matter how one looked at it, Ning Que had not done anything wrong. However, everyone knew very well why Quni Madi was so sad.
"You kill me, I kill you."
Ning Que said, "Long Qing betrayed Haotian. The West-Hill Divine Palace has issued an edict that everyone has the right to kill him. Princess Chen Jia tried to kill the Lady of Light for this thief. What's wrong with me punishing her on behalf of the Divine Hall?"
Everyone in the hall looked at Priest Cheng Lixue, who was the true representative of the West-Hill Divine Palace.
Cheng Lixue's expression was calm and he did not speak. Not to mention that the Flower Addict had indeed violated the West-Hill Divine Palace's taboo. Even if she had not, the Divine Hall would not have said anything about Ning Que being the future husband of the Lady of Light.
Ning Que looked at Quni Madi and said, "As for Daoshi dying in my hands, you can do it if you want to avenge your illegitimate son. Why do you have to involve the Buddhism Sect and Yuelun Kingdom? I really want to know whether Buddha can't tolerate me or you, an old nun who doesn't follow the precepts."
Hearing this, Master Boshu's expression froze.
Ning Que looked at him and repeated his previous question, "Is the Xuankong Temple sure about this?"
…
…
"The Buddha is merciful. The Xuankong Temple has held this belief and has rarely participated in the affairs of the secular world. I should not have interfered in the feud between you and Princess Chen Jia."
Master Boshu's expression gradually became serious. His voice was like the ringing of a bell. He said, "However, Mr. Thirteen has actually entered the Devil's Way. How can the Xuankong Temple ignore it? I saw it with my own eyes. How can I ignore it?"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at Ning Que's feet. Their expressions became strange.
Only then did Ning Que notice that there were a few pieces of gravel under his feet. There was a small grey dot at the waist of his black Academy uniform. Judging by the color, it should be a mark left by a stone.
Only then did he remember that Master Boshu's Buddhism Sect Emblematic Gesture was a little strange. The right hand was stretched out and the index finger was slightly bent. It looked like a child flicking a stone. So he was really flicking a stone.
A cultivator's body was as fragile as an ordinary person's. Even a powerhouse at the peak of the Knowing Destiny State could be easily cut open by a butcher. Of course, that was if the powerhouse did not fight back.
Only two kinds of cultivators could use their own bodies to shatter a hard stone. In the previous battle, no one had felt Ning Que use his Psyche Power to summon the Qi of Heaven and Earth to protect his body. This naturally meant that the rumors of him cultivating in both talisman and martial arts were not true. At the same time, it also meant that he was cultivating in the Devil's Doctrine, which could not be allowed in the world!
There was dead silence in the hall. No one spoke. No one knew what to say at this time.
Cheng Lixue looked at Ning Que in shock. As the saying went, Taoism and the Devil could not coexist. As the Grand Master of the Revelation Department of the West-Hill Divine Palace, he should have stood up angrily and killed a cultivator who had joined the Devil.
However, Ning Que was not an ordinary person. He was Mr. Thirteen of the Academy, the core disciple of the Headmaster of the Academy.
Even if the Hierarch Lord was present, he would also feel that this matter was very troublesome, let alone Cheng Lixue.
Cheng Lixue's mind was in a mess. He wanted to stand up, but he did not want to. He did not know what to do. At this moment, he suddenly saw Sangsang and calmed down. He felt very lucky.
With the Lady of Light above, he did not have the right to represent the West-Hill Divine Palace to express their stance on this matter. As for the close relationship between the Lady of Light and Ning Que, it would not mean that the Divine Hall would send down a thunderbolt. So what did it have to do with him?
After confirming that Ning Que had joined the Devil, the hall was silent for a long time. But eventually, someone would express their stance, and that person's stance was very firm and strong.
Aunt Quni Madi laughed as she coughed up blood. Her laughter was full of joy and madness. She looked at Ning Que and shouted fiercely, "I want to see if Buddha will tolerate you!"
…
…
Ning Que looked at Master Boshu quietly. He thought that the Xuankong Temple was indeed the legendary Unknown Place. The chief monk was indeed skillful to be able to use the Dharma to make the stone fall on his Academy uniform.
Then, he understood that this matter must have been planned by the high monk of the Xuankong Temple. Otherwise, no one would think of doing this in such a tense situation.
Thinking of his teacher's advice, he shook his head. The Headmaster had once told him that after Youngest Uncle cultivated the Great Spirit, he did not allow any enemy to touch his body. Therefore, even if all the cultivators in the world guessed that Youngest Uncle had joined the Devil, no one dared to point it out.
Ning Que had hunted and chopped firewood since he was a child and had developed the habit of close combat. Therefore, it was easy for him to forget his teacher's advice. Moreover, he had become overconfident after entering the Knowing Destiny State. He did not expect the monks of the Xuankong Temple to have something on him.
But … so what?
The whole world knew that Youngest Uncle had joined the Devil, but no one dared to mention it. Although he was not as strong as Youngest Uncle had been, he was stronger than him in some aspects. Why should he be afraid of these people?
"I don't believe in Buddha, so I don't have to worry about whether Buddha will tolerate me."
Ning Que looked at Quni Madi and said, "Moreover, do you think I will join the Devil just because you say so? There is no such logic in the world. "
Quni Madi was slightly stunned. She did not expect that under such circumstances, this person could still talk about logic without batting an eyelid. She shouted angrily, "Everyone in the hall saw it!"
"What they saw is true?"
"The Great Divine Priest of Light had good eyesight, but he still made a mistake."
"And even if it is true … there is no 'even'. I will not admit it."
He looked into Quni Madi's eyes and said mockingly, "How can you prove it?"
Then, he turned to look at the rest of the people in the hall and asked, "How can you prove it?"
He shook his head and said, "If you want to prove it, then fight again. Maybe my leg will be pierced by your swords in the next moment. Who will pay for my medical expenses then?"
Master Boshu was silent for a moment and said, "Is this a threat?"
Ning Que said, "You can understand it this way."
Quni Madi shouted harshly, "How can the Academy have such a scoundrel like you!"
Ning Que said, "I am indeed good at being a scoundrel and can rank first in the Academy. Even Youngest Uncle could not compare to me. So, don't do such meaningless things."
"The Academy is still as arrogant as before."
Master Boshu suddenly laughed and looked at him. "I wonder what is more meaningful in the eyes of the Headmaster and in the eyes of the Academy."
Master Qishan, who had been sitting silently on the futon, suddenly felt alarmed. He looked up at Boshu with a stern and warning look.
"Does the Underworld Invasion count?"
Boshu did not seem to feel Master Qishan's gaze at all. He looked at Ning Que and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, leaving only dignity and solemnity. He shouted, "Does it count if you are the Son of Yama?" If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
