In the Mercy Hall of the Wuchen Temple on the Wuchen Mountain, a murderous aura filled the air.
The main source of the murderous aura was not Wuchen, although he wanted to kill Xie Tian.
The suffocating murderous aura was not emitted by Xie Tian, but by the black pattern on the Golden Buddha.
This was a Soul Oath, an oath made with the spirit as the basis. If the oath was successful, the spirit would improve greatly. If the oath was not successful, the spirit would fall into the depths of the Nine Abyss, a place where even immortals and Buddhas could not set foot.
Xian Feng and Mad Old Man finally knew what Xie Tian was going to do. But they never imagined that a Soul Oath would appear on a young man who had not yet stepped into the true cultivation realm. For them, this was a very big deal.
Because their invincible Lord, who dominated the Nine States, now had a successor. The successor had passed the test of the Dao Fruit, but he also had a Soul Oath.
And the content of this Soul Oath was to kill the Buddha.
They were very clear that even someone as strong as their Lord would not make such an oath, because this oath could only be described with twelve words. He did not know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was.
They were filled with regret. If they had immediately pulled Xie Tian out of the Dustless Mountain after the Dao Fruit's grade had been determined, then they could have thrown him into some random corner, and none of this would have happened.
But they wanted to watch the show, to know what Xie Tian was thinking. Even now, Xian Feng still had the urge to continue watching. He wanted to know how Xie Tian, who only had two days to live, would save himself, and how he would truly inherit the Lord's legacy …
In the end, the two of them burst into tears.
"What should we do?" Mad Old Man sobbed.
"You, where did you get this egg from? Why is it so strange?" Xian Feng complained as he cried.
"I haven't scolded you yet! If you didn't tell us to keep watching, we wouldn't end up like this. "
"Ah, let's keep watching …"
"…"
Inside the Mercy Hall, Wu Chen did not hide his murderous intent. The moment his cultivation erupted, Xie Tian and Wen Shui spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces pale.
"Xie Tian, be careful …" Wen Shui didn't care about himself at all. All he cared about was Xie Tian's safety.
Xie Tian smiled and comforted, "He won't kill me."
"Why won't this old monk kill you?" Dustless's cold voice resounded throughout the Mercy Hall.
"It's very simple." Xie Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled warmly. "You came from the Tempest Temple, and you have endless admiration for the Tempest Temple. However, you are compassionate, and your heart goes against the rules of the temple. You are unwilling to give up on both, and that is why you are who you are today."
Dustless nodded. "Amitabha. Benefactor Xie Tian is very accurate in your judgment. However, this old monk is willing to abandon my merciful heart for you. I only hope that those who blaspheme Buddha will fall into hell and never be able to reincarnate."
"Very well," Xie Tian said happily. He looked at Dustless with a smile, waiting for Dustless to kill him.
Dustless was silent for a long time. He seemed to have understood something. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, put his palms together and said, "This old monk has the intention to kill again. Forgive me, forgive me. Benefactor Xie Tian, I don't know why the Buddha statue cracked, but these few days you listened to the Buddhist scriptures, listened to this old monk's background, and blasphemed Buddha. You want to force this old monk to kill you and destroy this old monk's merciful heart, right?"
Xie Tian shook his head and said very seriously, "You think too much."
"Amitabha." Dustless's furrowed brows relaxed in an instant. He smiled slightly and said, "Benefactor Xie Tian still has two days. This old monk won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, Dustless walked out of the Mercy Hall without hesitation.
Mad Old Man looked at Xian Feng and asked expectantly, "That bald donkey guessed correctly, right?"
"Correct my ass!" Xian Feng rolled his eyes.
"Maybe Xie Tian was just saying it casually?"
Xian Feng laughed. "Casually saying it and making a soul oath, isn't that even worse?"
"That's not right." Mad Old Man's old face scrunched up in worry. "How could he not know that he only has two days to live? What's the use of doing these things? Can he live on?"
Xian Feng was about to speak when he frowned slightly. He shifted his gaze and looked towards the foot of Dustless Mountain.
On the Dustless Stone in the back garden of Dustless Temple, Dustless was not as calm and composed as he was when he left the Mercy Hall. He could not figure out what Xie Tian was thinking and what he wanted to do. He did not know if his last guess was right or wrong, but he could only guess like that.
Because Xie Tian was right. He would not kill anyone. 88 years ago, when he left Thunder State and stepped onto the treasured ship, he had made a great vow to Buddha. He would not kill in this life, but he could still subdue demons.
He was extremely loyal to his sect, but he was compassionate. The contradiction between these two extremes made him feel so much pain that he wanted to die. At the same time, he wanted to prove that he was right, so he made this extremely contradictory great vow.
It was very difficult to realize a great vow. Dustless had persisted for 88 years. This was his belief. Even though he was still shocked by the cracks on the golden Buddha, he still could not help but believe that Xie Tian really wanted to destroy his sect and kill Buddha. He still did not dare to make a move.
Once he made a move, his great vow would be broken, and he would not be fated with Buddha.
"Two days, please bless me, Buddha …"
Dustless sincerely prostrated himself and prayed to Buddha. Two days later, everything was calm. When he straightened his body, his pupils shrank!
Sitting opposite him was a man in white.
This man was Black Water.
"Hehe!" Black Water's expression looked a little strange. He laughed and said, "Master Dustless, you did not even notice that I was so close to you. Who was it that made your mind so hurt?"
Dustless's thoughts were tumbling, but he smiled and said, "So it is Elder Black Water who has come. This old monk has not welcomed you."
"Why, are you embarrassed to say it?" Black Water sneered and was about to say something sarcastic. Unexpectedly, Dustless asked in surprise, "Elder Black Water, why did your cultivation drop by one level?"
"Humph!" Black Water's eyes flashed with anger, and he said with resentment, "I am here for this matter!"
"Elder Black Water, what do you mean?"
Black Water picked up a white chess piece and threw it gently. The chess piece fell into the position of Tianyuan. He invited Dustless to join the game domineeringly, "You caught Xie Tian?"
"This old monk is an outsider. I dare not say that I caught him." Dustless narrowed his eyes, put the black chess piece into the star position, and said with a faint smile, "Xie Tian is a cultivator of killing. This old monk just destroyed his cultivation. Elder Black Water, your first chess piece has entered Tianyuan. What is it that you are so determined to get? "
"Xie Tian!" Black Water picked up another chess piece and put it close to Dustless's white chess piece. He said gloomily, "I want to kill him!"
"My sin, my sin. This is the pure land of Buddhism. How can Elder Black Water kill him?" Dustless's heart skipped a beat. He put another chess piece into the star position, forming a triangle with the first chess piece.
The white chess piece followed the black chess piece again. Black Water pressed forward step by step, "I am determined to get it!"
"Amitabha. Although the pure land of Buddhism is convenient for people, I dare not stain it with blood." Dustless put three chess pieces into the star position. It seemed that he was giving way, but in fact, he did not give way at all.
Black Water's anger rose again. He patted the table gently, and the white chess pieces in the chess box flew out like rain. Judging from the momentum, he was going to put them all over the chess board. How overbearing!
Dustless was shocked.
However, at the moment when he was shocked, a white arm suddenly pierced through the curtain of white chess pieces and hit his chest!
Puff!
Dustless's sixth mouthful of blood fell on the chessboard.
"Master, sorry for offending you. Hahahaha!" Before Dustless landed, Black Water turned into a breeze and disappeared from the back garden in an instant. He went straight to the Mercy Hall.
Dustless was shocked. He had no time to heal himself and chased after Black Water. When he came to the entrance of the Mercy Hall, he saw Black Water's palm striking toward Wenshui's head!
"Buddha is merciful!" Dustless's cultivation broke out completely. The black kasaya moved without wind and fell off from his body. It turned into a black dragon and attacked Black Water!
"Haha, Master is merciful indeed. Black Water admires you!"
Black Water retreated immediately to the side of Xie Tian who was extremely shocked. He grabbed Xie Tian with his right hand and ran toward the entrance of the hall. His left hand swung toward Wenshui, and three black thorns shot out like lightning!
"Master, let's see who you will save!"
Dustless did not hesitate at all. He jumped and came to Wenshui in an instant. He waved his hand to take down the three black thorns. His merciful eyes looked at Black Water and Wenshui who had just skimmed over the threshold. He could not help but chase two steps forward.
After two steps, Dustless stopped.
Perhaps, letting Xie Tian be taken away and killed by Black Water was the best ending. Dustless thought so, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared instantly …
Perhaps, only an evil person like Black Water was the real nemesis of Xie Tian. Thinking of the deep shock on Xie Tian's face, Dustless thought so. After the uneasiness disappeared, a faint surprise grew …
But in this world, there were few maybes.
The next moment, Dustless saw the pair of bloody eyes and the strong sneer in the bloody eyes.
The next moment, Dustless saw Xie Tian's silent words clearly.
"Live well."
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The seventh mouthful of blood fell thirty feet in front of the Golden Buddha!
The eighth mouthful of blood fell at the entrance of the Mercy Hall!
The ninth mouthful of blood fell at the entrance of the Wu Chen Temple!
"Come back!"
Dustless roared with his eyes wide open, but he only got Black Water's laughter in return.
Dustless, whose mind had been heavily injured by Xie Tian several times and whose lungs had been severely injured by Black Water, had no strength to pursue anymore. He staggered and fell down in a daze. He didn't even notice the pony flying over his head.
What remained at the bottom of his eyes, in his mind, and by his ears were Xie Tian's bloody eyes, Xie Tian's sneer, and the last words Xie Tian said to him.
Live well.
"Live well?" Mad Old Man couldn't understand what had happened at all, and asked doubtfully.
Xian Feng, on the other hand, had long been in a trance, as if his soul had flown out of his body because of some earth-shattering matter. Only when Mad Old Man's voice sounded did he murmur in disbelief, "Live well. Live to witness Xie Tian annihilating his sect and then killing his Buddha!"
Mad Old Man pondered for a while and asked in bewilderment, "Isn't it just a soul oath? What are you so shocked about?"
Xian Feng was in no mood to laugh at Mad Old Man at this time. Like Dustless, he was completely shocked by Xie Tian's last sneer.
The shock on Xie Tian's face when he first saw Black Water was fake.
The sneer on Xie Tian's face when he parted with Dustless was real.
What did this mean?
It meant that Xie Tian had long predicted that Black Water would come to find him!
It meant that Xie Tian had long predicted that he would fall into Black Water's hands. Not only would his life not be in danger, but he could also find a way out!
So Dustless knew that when Xie Tian listened to the Buddhist scriptures, he was really understanding Buddha. When Xie Tian listened to his past, he was really understanding his sect. Every word that Xie Tian said was true …
Xie Tian was really going to exterminate his sect and then kill his Buddha!
Thinking of this, Dustless lost all his strength and fell to the ground. He had one more thing to regret. When Xie Tian said the word good, he should have decisively killed Xie Tian.
Only now did he understand that out of all the words that Xie Tian had said, only the word good was fake. It was a dangerous gamble that Xie Tian had used to dispel his killing intent. He had put himself in a dead end. He had turned a deaf ear to the truth and only believed in the word good.
"Impossible, impossible …" Xian Feng, who had thought through all this, repeatedly exclaimed that it was impossible. Mad Old Man slapped Xian Feng again and shouted, "What is impossible!"
Xian Feng's expression was very interesting. When Black Water appeared at the foot of Dustless Mountain, he had already discovered it. But at that time, he had never thought that such an unrelated mortal would actually bring Xie Tian away from Dustless Temple. What was even more unexpected was that Xie Tian seemed to have long predicted the appearance of Black Water!
If that was true, then how terrifying would Xie Tian's ability to scheme and plan for a thousand miles be?
"Let's go!"
"F * ck, you are even more anxious than me!" Seeing Xian Feng disappear in an instant, Mad Old Man shook his head. He glanced at the tables, benches, wine jars, and leftover food on the cloud and kicked it.
