Ye Xuan sighed. He stroked the little girl's yellow hair and said in a low voice, "Your grandfather has gone to a faraway place. I will bring you to him. Will you go with Brother Ye now?"
"Brother Ye can really bring me to see my grandfather?" The little girl pursed her lips. She forced herself not to cry, but clear tears still rolled down her cheeks.
"Brother Ye won't lie to you. Once I cure your illness, I will bring you to see your grandfather."
Ye Xuan raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of the little girl's eyes. He pulled her small hand and walked towards the west. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the shadows of the two of them were elongated.
…
Western Spirited Mountain, Great Thunderclap Temple.
Thousands of auspicious Qi, Buddha's light filled the sky, and the sound of chanting came from the void of the heavens. Duobao Rulai sat cross-legged on the golden lotus with a Buddha's light revolving behind him. He had a compassionate look on his face.
"Buddha, please uphold justice for me and give my husband and child justice."
Princess Iron Fan knelt on the ground. She kept kowtowing to Duobao Rulai and sobbing. This made the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas frown.
"Iron Fan, you said that Ye Xuan killed your husband and child. This is simply a fallacy. You should know that Ye Xuan is the Celestial Emperor of the Three Realms. Why would he appear in the Aparagodaniya Continent?" Maitreya Buddha said softly.
"What Iron Fan said is true. If the Venerables and Bodhisattvas don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself." Princess Iron Fan said hatefully. She looked at Duobao Rulai with a hopeful look.
"Amitabha."
Duobao Rulai put his palms together and chanted, "Iron Fan, if the one who killed your husband and child is really Ye Xuan, with his temperament, how could he let you go?"
"Buddha, I …!"
Princess Iron Fan clenched her silver teeth but couldn't say anything. She could see that Western Spirited Mountain didn't want to stand up for her dead husband and child. No matter how she begged, Duobao Rulai wouldn't make things difficult for Ye Xuan.
Clang — Clang — Clang!
All of a sudden, eighty-one consecutive bell tolls reverberated throughout Spirit Mountain. This caused Duobao Rulai's expression to change slightly, and he abruptly looked towards the distant horizon.
Rumble!
The light of the Origin Immortal shrouded the world, and the clouds for thousands of li surged. An imposing figure was currently walking toward Spirit Mountain, his aura capable of shaking mountains and rivers to the extreme.
"Amitabha!"
Duobao Rulai furrowed his brows and put his palms together, chanting the name of Buddha, "May I know why Ye Tiandi has come to Spirited Mountain?"
Above the firmament, in the void.
Ye Xuan strolled through the sky until he stood in the Tempest Temple. All the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas focused their attention on him, wondering what this Ye Tiandi wanted to do at Spirited Mountain.
However, what surprised the Buddhas of Spirited Mountain the most was that there was a little girl following behind Ye Xuan. At this moment, she was hiding behind him with extreme fear, quietly looking at the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.
"Ye Xuan?"
Ye Xuan's arrival directly caused Princess Iron Fan to stand up abruptly. Her eyes instantly turned red as she looked at Ye Xuan. An indescribable hatred filled her eyes. If looks could kill, Ye Xuan would have died thousands of times.
"Iron Fan, don't be rude. Why aren't you leaving?"
Duobao Rulai furrowed his brows. When Ye Xuan appeared, he had already believed Princess Iron Fan's words. However, he would never make things difficult for Ye Xuan for Princess Iron Fan. He still knew the severity of the matter.
Ye Xuan was not surprised that Princess Iron Fan was at Spirited Mountain. After all, he had killed the Bull Demon King and Red Boy. The only place Princess Iron Fan could seek help from was Spirited Mountain.
However, he did not bring the little girl to the Tempest Temple today to chase after Princess Iron Fan.
"Duo Bao, this Emperor doesn't want to waste any more words. This Emperor wants to borrow three Virtuous Lotus Seeds from you." Ye Xuan directly stated his intentions without any tactful words.
Silence, silence, extreme silence.
When Ye Xuan finished speaking, the entire Tempest Temple was eerily silent. All the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas looked at Ye Xuan with horror in their eyes.
There were a total of four lotus platforms in the world. They were divided into the twelfth grade Golden Lotus of Virtue, the twelfth grade Red Lotus of Fire, the twelfth grade Black Lotus of Destruction, and the twelfth grade Green Lotus of Creation.
The twelfth grade Green Lotus of Creation was obtained by Ancestor Hong Jun and given to one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun.
The twelfth grade Red Lotus of Fire was obtained by Ancestor Minghe of the Blood Sea. It sat on the lotus platform and nothing could break it. It burned karma and turned it into karma fire. It had both offensive and defensive capabilities and was extremely terrifying.
The twelfth grade Black Lotus of Destruction was obtained by Luo Hou of the Demon Ancestor. It sat on the lotus platform and nothing could break it. It could absorb the violent and destructive aura and was filled with the resentment of all living beings. It was extremely terrifying.
The twelfth grade Golden Lotus of Virtue was obtained by Daoist Jie Yin and later given to Duobao Rulai. It was the most important item of the Western Sect and the supreme treasure of the Tempest Temple of the Western Sect.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was asking for three Lotus Seeds of Virtue from Duobao Rulai. This was an extremely unreasonable request. It would also cause the quality of the twelfth grade Golden Lotus of Virtue to drop. How could Duobao Rulai agree to Ye Xuan's request?
"Amitabha!"
As expected, Duobao Rulai's face turned cold. He said in a low voice, "Ye Tiandi, the twelfth grade Golden Lotus of Virtue is the supreme treasure of the Spirited Mountain. Although it's only three Lotus Seeds of Virtue, I can't agree to your request."
"You're wrong. I'm not asking you. I'm ordering you. Today, you have to borrow it even if you don't want to."
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. His voice echoed in the Tempest Temple. The power of the Celestial Emperor was slowly being released. This also made Duobao Rulai's face turn gloomy. A Great Sun Buddha's light bloomed behind him.
"Ye Tiandi, the Spirited Mountain and the Celestial Court will mind our own business. I hope you can think twice before you act," Duobao Rulai said solemnly. Duobao Rulai spoke in a heavy tone. A cold light flashed through his eyes as he opened and closed them. His gaze towards Ye Xuan also became extremely unfriendly.
If it was somewhere else, Duobao Rulai could give in to Ye Xuan. After all, Ye Xuan's combat strength was heaven-defying. The 33rd Celestial Court was even more powerful than before. Duobao Rulai couldn't afford to offend him.
But now, Ye Xuan was bullying him. If he still lowered his head to Ye Xuan, wouldn't he, the Western Buddha, become a joke in the Three Realms?
The most important problem was that the Grade 12 Virtuous Golden Lotus was a Western treasure. If he really gave Ye Xuan three Virtuous Lotus Seeds, flaws would appear in the Grade 12 Virtuous Golden Lotus, and its quality would drop. If the two Western Sages were to blame him, Duobao Rulai couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Brother Ye, let's go."
The little girl quietly grabbed Ye Xuan's sleeve. Her weak voice sounded in Ye Xuan's ears. Clearly, the little girl's young heart had already been shocked to the extreme when she saw the legendary figures of the Western Buddhas.
From the beginning to the end, the little girl had been quietly following Ye Xuan. She didn't know who Ye Xuan was. She only knew that this Brother Ye of hers was very capable and had promised to help her find her grandfather.
However, when Ye Xuan brought her to Spirited Mountain today, she saw the Buddhas of Spirited Mountain. She also saw the legendary Buddha being polite to Ye Xuan. The little girl knew that this Brother Ye of hers had a great background.
