It was close to midnight. The night was still dark, but it was no longer pitch-black like ink. This was because the sky was clear and boundless, and the Milky Way hung high in the night sky. The stars were bright, and a crescent moon appeared in the night sky, sprinkling down faint moonlight.
It was the height of summer. Although Dragon Gate Mountain was lush with trees, there were no sounds of insects or beasts. It was not that there were no birds or beasts resting in the dense forest of Dragon Gate Mountain. It was just that when the experts of the righteous path climbed the mountain with great fanfare, the birds had long been startled away. The insects and beasts in the forest had long been frightened into crawling on the ground or fleeing.
The wild beasts in the forest had already sensed the powerful aura of these human experts and had long since fled without a trace.
The summit of Dragon Gate was silent, and Ling Yun's voice was loud and clear. He talked cheerfully and wittily in front of dozens of elites from the orthodox sects. No matter what, the calmness and composure he displayed made everyone secretly admire him.
Qin Dongxue, who had been standing behind him, gradually calmed down after witnessing Ling Yun's performance.
"Unflinching in the face of danger, fearless in the face of danger."
"Even if there are millions of people, I will go forward."
Qin Dongxue looked at Ling Yun's back view, which was as still as a mountain as he conversed with Master Jue Yuanyuan from the Shaolin Temple. She sighed in her heart.
She looked at the proud and lonely figure in the field, thinking about how that guy had to face all the difficulties alone. Her beautiful eyes were gradually shrouded by a thin layer of mist. Her gaze was slightly blurred, but her expression was even more determined!
From tonight onwards, Aunty won't have any worries in this life. I will accompany you to kill all over the world!
Unknowingly, Qin Dongxue tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword.
But Ling Yun, who was in the field, was having a headache at this time. It was not because he saw that the masters of the righteous sects who came tonight were unusually strong and exceeded his expectations, but because Ling Yun knew in his heart that he could not kill the big monk of the Shaolin Temple in front of him.
Zen Master Jue Yuanyuan's Dharma was too profound, and the Bodhi Seed wouldn't allow him to kill monks with profound Dharma.
Ling Yun had already verified this point when he fought with Master Xingchi in Zhuang Tiande's Qingshui Wharf villa.
At that time, Ling Yun had exerted all his skills but was still unable to stab Master Xingchi to death. This made him depressed and angry, and he had even wanted to throw away the Bodhi Seed.
However, the Bodhi Seed was the most powerful treasure he had obtained from the Buddhist monk at the bottom of the crater. The Bodhi Seed had performed miracles on par with the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book during the tribulation on Turtle Island. How could he bear to throw it away?
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment maintained his posture with one palm in front of his chest. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the black saber inserted into the ground beside Lingyun. His expression gradually turned serious.
"It's indeed the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade. Such a strong killing intent! What a cruel demonic nature! "
Ling Yun's lips curled into a smile. "That's right, it is indeed the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade."
Zen Master Distant Mind retracted his gaze and fixed his gaze on Ling Yun. This time, he stared at him for a longer period of time. A hint of confusion gradually appeared in his eyes as he said in surprise, "But the Buddha nature in you is stronger!"
As soon as he said that, the experts of the orthodox sects who had been watching quietly were in an uproar!
"What?! Buddha nature? "
"The person who wields the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade will have Buddha nature? How is that possible?! "
"Zen Master Distant Enlightenment, are you sure you're not mistaken? This little devil has killed countless people. How could he have Buddha nature? "
After hearing Master Distant Enlightenment's judgment, the experts of the orthodox sects' first reaction was disbelief. Many of them directly refuted his words.
However, Ling Yun was secretly shocked. He knew that he had the Bodhi Seed, the magical gourd, the green lamp, and a string of Buddha beads in his spatial ring. These were all Buddhist treasures left behind by the almighty ancient Buddhist sects. Obviously, Master Distant Enlightenment had sensed something.
"Amitabha, a monk does not lie."
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment chanted the name of Buddha loudly. His voice was like the ringing of a bell, instantly drowning out the clamor of the crowd. His expression was incomparably solemn as he stared at Ling Yun. "Young benefactor, you are fated with Buddha."
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment used the supreme technique of Buddhism, the Lion Roar. This sentence was deafening!
There was a moment of silence on the peak of Dragon Gate!
The experts of the orthodox sects couldn't help but look at each other, dumbfounded. For a moment, they couldn't figure out Zen Master Distant Enlightenment's intentions.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"
Suddenly, a Taoist name was heard, and a Taoist master of Dragon Tiger Mountain floated out from the crowd. He looked at Zen Master Jueyuan with a slightly angry expression and said sarcastically, "Master Jueyuan, this is your fault!"
"For thousands of years, Shaolin and Wudang have dominated the martial arts world. Especially in this golden age, your Buddhism is flourishing, and you have countless believers. That's why we tacitly agreed to let you be the representative to negotiate with this little devil."
The old celestial master of Mount Longhu first flattered Zen Master Distant Enlightenment. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Guo Xiaotian's headless corpse in the distance. His tone suddenly changed.
"But Zen Master Distant Enlightenment, Mister Guo's corpse from the Deity Sword Mountain is still warm. Everyone has confirmed that the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade has recognized this little devil as its master. Now, you're saying that this little devil is fated with Buddhism? What kind of logic is this?
Could it be that Shaolin has abandoned the principles of Buddhism for the sake of some unspoken benefits? "
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment's expression turned sluggish. "Taoist Master Cang Song, this … where did this come from?"
Taoist Master Cang Song from Dragon Tiger Mountain smiled coldly. He looked at Ling Yun as if he was looking at a dead person, but also as if he was looking at a rare treasure. His eyes were filled with greed. Then, he snorted at Zen Master Distant Enlightenment. "Hmph! Where did this come from? Stop pretending to be ignorant. All the experts from the various sects have rushed to Qingshui and are now gathered at Dragon Gate Mountain. We all know what everyone's motive is! "
"You haven't even spoken two sentences with this little devil, and you're already trying to rope him in by saying that he is fated with Buddhism. Do you think the other sects are transparent?"
"Whoosh!"
The white-robed swordsman, Li Kunwu, suddenly leaped out of the crowd and appeared in front of Master Distant Enlightenment. He had an arrogant expression on his face. "Taoist Master Distant Enlightenment is right. Master Distant Enlightenment, in order to obtain the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book, you can say that this guy is fated with Buddhism. My Kunlun Sword Sect will be the first to object!"
There was an uproar in the crowd!
The Kunlun Sword Sect naturally came from Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain had a very special status in the martial arts world. Li Kunwu's status was also very high. He had never cared about anyone since he was young. His words were rather direct and made Taoist Master Cang Song's intentions clear!
"That's right! Taoist Master Cang Song and Young Master Li are right. Shaolin can't use unscrupulous means to rope this little devil in just for the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book! "
Naturally, there were others who followed suit. The one who spoke was the deputy head of the Hades Sect, Gongsun Li. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Lingyun. "This little devil has killed many disciples of the Hades Sect. We haven't even avenged our disciples, and your Shaolin wants to protect him. The Hades Sect won't allow it!"
After Gongsun Li finished speaking, the eight experts behind him immediately shouted, "The Hades Society won't allow it!"
The momentum was shocking!
The WuTang Sect, the Divine Fist Sect, and the Northwest Iron Spear Thunder Family chose to remain silent and observe the situation.
As for the four disciples of the Deity Sword Villa, they had no right to speak because their Big Senior Guo Xiaotian was already dead. Of course, since Li Kunwu from the Kunlun Sword Sect had jumped out, they didn't need to say anything.
Shaolin Temple's Master Jue Yuan didn't expect things to turn out this way. He said awkwardly and helplessly, "You have really misunderstood. What I said about Ling Yun being fated with Buddhism isn't what you think it is …"
However, the crowd was already blinded by the benefits. Why would they listen to Zen Master Jue Yuan's explanation?
Ling Yun's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, his vigilance had reached its limit.
Only he knew that what Zen Master Jue Yuan said had nothing to do with the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book. He was only talking about Buddhism and the fact that Ling Yun had a Buddhist nature.
However, Ling Yun naturally wouldn't explain for Zen Master Jue Yuan. He couldn't wait for the enemy to fight amongst themselves!
That would save him a lot of trouble tonight.
Zen Master Jueyuan was at a loss for words after being misunderstood. He suddenly looked at Lingyun and laughed bitterly. "Young benefactor, you have both Buddhist and demonic natures in you. Both paths of Buddhism and the demonic are in your hands. Young benefactor, please be careful!" he said meaningfully.
With that, Zen Master Jue Yuan chanted Buddha's name again. Without waiting for Ling Yun's reply, he slowly turned around and walked back to his camp.
Seeing that Zen Master Jue Yuan didn't care anymore, the heroes from the orthodox sects were dumbfounded. They didn't know what the Shaolin Temple was planning.
All the experts from the orthodox sects knew that the Shaolin Temple was here to punish Ling Yun. Their excuse was that Master Compassionless and Master Xingchi had died in Ling Yun's hands.
Could it be that the Shaolin Temple wouldn't seek revenge just because Ling Yun was fated with Buddhism?
Everyone waited for a long time. Seeing that the Shaolin Temple had no intention of finding trouble with Ling Yun, they turned their attention to another person.
The leader of the WuTang Sect, Taoist Master Chong Xu.
Taoist Master Chong Xu was the first to reach the top of the mountain with the Shaolin Temple. He was the one who chanted Taoist names. He was dressed in a black Taoist robe and carried a long sword on his back. He had a simple face and a long beard. He looked like a sage.
Taoist Master Chong Xu arrived at the top of the mountain. Other than shouting the name, he didn't say anything else. He seemed unusually low-key. Now, he finally came out.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."
Taoist Master Chong Xu chanted Taoist names. He had a smile on his face as he walked slowly towards Ling Yun. Every step he took was smooth and graceful.
Ling Yun raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "WuTang?"
"I am WuTang Mountain's Taoist Master Chong Xu."
Ling Yun nodded and asked seriously, "If I remember correctly, I have no enmity with WuTang Mountain. May I know why you came to Qingshui City to get involved?"
Taoist Master Chong Xu stopped and replied with a smile, "Since you said that this is a muddy water, why can't WuTang Mountain get involved?"
Ling Yun smiled, "Alright, there's no regret in life or death!"
Since WuTang Mountain was looking for trouble, and Taoist Master Chong Xu didn't show any goodwill like he did with Shaolin, then they would start fighting. (To be continued.)
