"What? Zen Master Longtan betrayed Zen Master Lin Da? "Someone exclaimed.
"Impossible, how could Zen Master Longtan do that? Zen Master Lin Da is his Master …"
"Zen Master Lin Da, what's going on …"
"Zen Master Lin Da …"
Soon, the calls overlapped with each other and became a unified voice.
Zen Master Lin Da had always been the hope in everyone's hearts. They hoped that he would come and give them an explanation.
Zen Master Lin Da stood up slowly as the crowd waited eagerly. He raised his hand and gestured at the crowd a few times. Then, the crowd gradually quieted down.
"My disciple attacked without warning and caused everyone to feel uneasy. I'm really sorry," Zen Master Lin Da said as he waved at the crowd.
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it in front of him. A green light shot out from his sleeve.
After a soft "bang", the blood-red light shield that enveloped him shattered into pieces.
The crowd was overjoyed when they saw that.
"As expected of Zen Master Lin Da …" The people were overjoyed when they saw that.
The eminent monks on the altar in the square heaved a sigh of relief as well.
Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian looked at each other. Both of their expressions became serious. They had noticed that when Zen Master Lin Da apologized, he did not perform the Buddhist ritual for some reason.
"Please forgive me, everyone. I was the one who asked Longtan to do what he did. So, there's no need to panic," Zen Master Lin Da continued.
The crowd was shocked when they heard that. Then, they felt more at ease.
Some of them even said, "So, it was Zen Master Lin Da's arrangement. Then, it's nothing …"
"Since it was Zen Master Lin Da's arrangement, it can't be a bad thing …"
"Zen Master Lin Da must have his reasons for doing what he did …"
…
Shen Luo could not help but feel sad when he heard the comments around him. Many of them came from the Guardian Monks.
"These people cultivate Buddhism and Dharma for the sake of 'enlightenment'. They seek to resolve the confusion of all living beings. Why aren't they superstitious about Buddha, but about Zen Master Lin Da instead?" Bai Xiaotian asked in confusion.
Shen Luo sighed and said, "Gautama Buddha is too far away, and his teachings are too profound. This Master Lin Da is right in front of us. I heard that he once traveled around the 36 countries of the Western Region, subdued demons and devils, and did all kinds of good deeds. I'm afraid that he left more miracles than Gautama Buddha. People have to believe him."
"The world is ignorant …" Bai Xiaotian sighed.
"Lin Da, why did you imprison these eminent monks?" Shen Luo asked loudly.
"How dare you call the Zen Master by his name?" Zen Master Bao Shan glared at Shen Luo and scolded him angrily.
Many people also looked angrily at Shen Luo.
"I've long felt that there's something wrong with your Holy Lotus Spiritual Altar. It seems like it's a scourge from the root. Now that things have come to this, do you still have to continue pretending?" Shen Luo didn't give them any face and sneered.
"Foreigners, you can't slander the Holy Altar, and you can't slander Zen Master Lin Da." Before Zen Master Bao Shan spoke, someone among the people reprimanded him loudly.
"How dare you! How dare you spout such nonsense here …"
"Drive this arrogant person out …" The people began to clamor.
The King's expression was solemn. He urged the guards to send Qi Lian Mi and the others away first, and at the same time, secretly ordered them to dispatch the guards in the city.
"What are you doing? You'll know soon enough. To be able to witness my Immortal Ascension with your own eyes is a great blessing for you mortals. Haha … "Zen Master Lin Da laughed heartily.
His attitude was arrogant, and he was completely different from his usual peaceful self. The people who were clamoring to punish Shen Luo just now all lowered their voices. They looked at Zen Master Lin Da who suddenly became a stranger, and a chill ran down their spines.
Shen Luo frowned. He didn't understand the deeper meaning in Zen Master Lin Da's words.
"It's about time. You can begin." Zen Master Lin Da said.
The sixteen disciples under him received the order and flew down from the altar. Some rushed into the square, while others rushed directly into the crowd of people.
What followed was a series of shrill screams.
The disciples of the Holy Lotus Spiritual Altar who rushed into the crowd actually started killing people without warning. Some of the guardian monks were completely unprepared and were pierced through the chest, losing their lives one after another.
The situation in the crowd was even more tragic. The few people from the Divine Lotus Altar did not even need to use any spells. They simply released their auras and condensed them into sharp blades that pierced through the crowd. They were like strangling blades, slicing hundreds and thousands of people into pieces.
At this moment, the hope in the hearts of the people was completely shattered. They were all panicking and started to flee in all directions.
King Jiao Lianmo also fled under the protection of the remaining guards.
He originally wanted to stay and stabilize the situation. However, this sudden bloody massacre caused the entire situation to go out of control.
"You're crazy."
Bai Xiaotian shouted angrily. He flew out and landed in the crowd. He raised his Vajra Scepter and attacked a tall and skinny Zen Master of the Holy Lotus Spiritual Altar.
The latter immediately turned around and held his hands in front of him. A circular blood mirror appeared in his palm. A blood-red light flew out of it and hit the Vajra Scepter.
However, Bai Xiaotian didn't hold back in this attack. A whirlpool of golden light appeared on the Vajra Scepter and scattered the blood-red light. It flew all the way and broke the blood mirror into pieces without any hindrance.
The tall and skinny Zen Master was only in the middle stage of the Soul Condensation Realm. After the magic item he relied on was destroyed, he couldn't defend himself at all. The Vajra Scepter pierced through his heart and killed him in one blow.
The four Zen Masters of the Holy Lotus Spiritual Altar saw this and immediately surrounded him under the lead of an early stage Out-of-Body Zen Master.
"Go and help." Shen Luo immediately patted the Nine Yin Pouch on his waist and summoned the Ghost General.
"Yes, Sir."
Zhao Feiji cupped his fists. His body suddenly drifted away like smoke and disappeared.
Shen Luo looked at the altar in front of him. After a moment of hesitation, he waved his hand and a red flying sword appeared in his palm.
With a thought, a red light flashed on the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and a layer of dark flame rose on its surface.
"There is a sinister aura emanating from both the inside and outside of this formation. Since I can't break it with brute force, why don't I try to see if the Red Lotus Hellfire works?" Shen Luo thought to himself as he controlled the flying sword to approach the spiritual altar.
Because he was worried about hurting Chan 'er, Shen Luo didn't dare to directly attack the Spiritual Altar with the flying sword. Therefore, he only guided a wisp of flame on the flying sword to the layer of red light on the Spiritual Altar.
As the flame approached, the red light on the Spiritual Altar trembled violently, as if it was afraid of the flame.
Shen Luo was overjoyed. He immediately increased his strength and slapped the long sword directly toward the Spiritual Altar.
At this time, Lin Da, who was in the center of the Spiritual Altar, also noticed the abnormality. His eyes suddenly shrank and he shouted, "How dare you destroy my Spiritual Altar!"
With a furious roar, his monk robe fluttered without any wind. An extremely powerful aura suddenly spread out. It was so condensed that it turned into a gust of wind. With him as the center, it blew in all directions.
The many guardian monks who were still trembling in the square were blown by the gust of wind. They couldn't even stand still and staggered back, almost falling down.
