Li Qingshan stopped smiling and looked over. "Going too far? Or are you asking to be humiliated? "As he said that, he made his way towards the Dauntless monk.
The Monk Kings all behaved like they were facing a great enemy, ready to fight to the death, but they all knew they were not his opponent. The Dauntless monk lamented inside, Don't tell me the heavens really want to destroy our monastery!?
"Qingshan!" The Unraging monk leapt up and grabbed Li Qingshan. "Do you really want to make me a traitor?"
"So be it. I didn't come to fight. I just came to tell you, master. You haven't let down the Chan Nāga. If anyone wants you to suffer punishment again, feel free to slap their mouth. Your disciple will back you up!"
"You mean …"
The Unraging monk was confused. No matter what, the deaths of those disciples were connected to him, let alone the other destruction. His actions did not just let down the monastery. He could basically be listed as the most wanted criminal. As for Little Ann, that went without saying. The two words "enemy of the buddha" were enough to represent everything.
At this moment, a gust of night breeze drifted over.
"Masters, you probably still don't understand why Qingshan went as far as to expose his identity in the grand hall and put himself in danger just to kill the Ming concubine! That's the reason. Please save him, Unraging master. "
Gu Yanying descended from above with Hwa Seung-zan, placing Hwa Seung-zan before the Unraging monk.
"Demonification!"
The Unraging monk was surprised. He pressed his hand against Hwa Seung-zan's chest and sensed that he was rapidly transforming from a human to a demonfolk. A portion of his spiritual qi had already become demon qi, so he used the Demon Suppression Statuary in a hurry to suppress the demon qi before going deeper to suppress the surging demonic nature.
"What did you do?" the Dauntless monk questioned.
Li Qingshan ignored him, crouching down beside the Unraging monk. "Master, you can save me, right?"
"Hmph, I can't save you, but can't I save others?" The Unraging monk said. Hwa Seung-zan's body trembled, and his demon qi thinned out. He was at peace.
"Heh, that's good!" Li Qingshan was finally relieved.
"Abbot Dauntless, if your obsession is too deep, you won't be able to see the truth of the matter. Not only did this matter directly affect the survival of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, but it also directly affected the survival of the monastery. It concerned the life and death of billions of people in Qingzhou. Please calm down and listen to what I have to say. Whether you believe me or not, it's up to you. "
On the way here. Gu Yanying discussed it with Li Qingshan. They arrived at Great Buddha Mountain. She was the one who said all the things to prevent the two sides from arguing again.
"Alright, go ahead!"
The Dauntless monk closed his eyes. He sucked in a deep breath. When he faced Li Qingshan, he was truly unable to hold back his anger. Earlier, he had basically already decided to live and die with the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. However, Gu Yanying had been in Qingzhou for many years. She had a good reputation for punishing evil and upholding the law. Her father was also the Guardian Eagle Deity, so she had to treat her seriously.
Gu Yanying pointed at Hwa Seung-zan. "Don't you find his behaviour in the grand hall very strange?" She paused and gave everyone time to think and recall before saying, "I discovered a demon seed in his sword embryo."
"What do you mean?" The Dauntless monk frowned.
"Please take a look, abbot." Gu Yanying was in no hurry to explain. She took out the Soul Switching sword and passed it to the Dauntless monk.
"This is a demon sword! What are you trying to say? "The Dauntless monk glanced at the sword in his hand before looking at Gu Yanying.
"I think there's basically no one in the Green province who doesn't know the name of this demon sword — Soul Switching," said Gu Yanying.
"The Ten Renowned Swords! The Soul Switching sword? "The Dauntless monk was surprised before closely studying the sword in his hand.
"This sword also hides a demon seed," said Gu Yanying.
"Are you trying to say the Sword Collection palace is under the Demon domain's control? What a joke. Do you think I'll believe something as absurd as that? "
The Monk Kings were no fools. They immediately understood what Gu Yanying was trying to say, but they all struggled to believe it. The Sword Collection palace was a renowned orthodox sect that had existed for tens of thousands of years. They had many disciples. If they really were colluding with the Demon domain, how could they not give themselves away after all these years?
"Whether it's absurd or not, you might as well listen to me …"
As a result, Gu Yanying analyzed the demon embryo and sword embryo one by one. The expressions of the Monk Kings flickered as they listened. They would be surprised and doubtful at times, frowning in thought at other times.
"... As a result, it's very likely that the three of them from the Sword Collection palace have come to destroy the Demon Suppression hall and turn Great Buddha mountain into a nest of demons, wiping out the entire cultivation community of the Green province in one fell swoop."
Gu Yanying's final conclusion was even more deafening. It left everyone speechless.
"All of this is just your guess."
The Dauntless monk frowned slightly. He wavered slightly inside. Refining the Ten Renowned Swords into demon swords was anything but simple. Thinking back, the master of the Sword Collection palace's attitude towards Hwa Seung-zan also seemed like he wanted to silence him.
"It's just a guess! Though, if you're talking about a witness, there's one right before you. It just depends on whether you believe it or not. "Gu Yanying glanced at Li Qingshan beside her.
The Dauntless monk said furiously, "This wretched daemon is full of lies …"
"Senior brother, just listen to what he has to say! Everything that has to do with the Demon domain is no small matter! "
The Unraging monk was stern. Having watched over the Demon Suppression hall all year round, he understood the horrors of the Demon domain the best. He knew even more about the terrifying consequences once the Demon Suppression hall was destroyed. And, when he helped Hwa Seung-zan suppress his demonic nature, he had discovered how heavy his demonic nature was. It was definitely not something that could be resolved overnight.
Then he said to Li Qingshan, "Damned disciple, it's fine if you lie to me normally, but you mustn't lie about this, or, or … sigh, you better give your master some face!"
Li Qingshan smiled. "Do you think there's still a need for me to lie right now, master? Even if I go and destroy the Demon Suppression Tower right now, is there anyone here who can stop me? "
"Don't joke around like that!" The Unraging monk shot him a glance.
"But let me make it clear first. Even if the people of the Sword Collection palace have nothing to do with the Demon domain, I have a clear conscience. Everyone knows that I've been a guest elder of the Sword Collection palace since a very long time ago. A few days ago, I went to the Sword Collection palace to draw my sword, but I ran into some accidents along the way …" Li Qingshan recounted his experiences in the Sword Collection palace, all the way until he arrived at Great Buddha mountain. "In the end, that bitch constantly sent me messages to provoke me. I don't care if you can tolerate it or not, but I can't, so I just let her have her way!"
"I see. Well done! If you can tolerate even that, then you're not human. " The Unraging monk praised, "I don't care if other people believe me or not. I believe you anyway. Hahahaha, damned disciple, I haven't misjudged you!" His laughter reverberated through Great Buddha mountain, filled with delight.
The monks all looked at one another. In the blink of an eye, the vicious and domineering Daemon King had become a great hero who was loyal and compassionate. This change was just far too exaggerated.
Even if the Dauntless monk wanted to believe it, he found it reasonable. It explained everything that had happened in the grand hall very well. Suddenly, he thought of something and took out a sumeru ring from his sleeve. It was the Master of the Sword Collection palace's sumeru ring.
Back then, Li Qingshan had killed the Master of the Sword Collection palace in a single stroke before going to save Little Ann. He had no time to care about these minor details, so he left the sumeru ring on Great Buddha mountain.
The Dauntless monk originally wanted to return it to the Sword Collection palace, but he suddenly remembered there was not a single xiezhi's horn that could be identified. "Li Qingshan, once I take out the xiezhi's horn, are you bold enough to repeat what you said just now? Hmm? "
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" the Unraging monk asked. The other Monk Kings also looked over with questioning gazes.
The Dauntless monk was taken aback for a while. He took out the xiezhi's horn first, but he did not let Li Qingshan repeat what he had said. Instead, he took out a deep-violet jade slip. The demon qi on it was thick, pure, and transparent. You could tell with a single glance that it did not originate from the nine provinces. Afterwards, he took out a small, black ball.
"The Landmine Ball! No wonder. Dauntless abbot, there's probably more than one in there! "
Gu Yanying recognised the black ball with a single glance. It was the supreme treasure of the school of mohism, the Landmine Ball. Only great grandmasters of the school of mohism could refine it. It was known for its tremendous power, known to possess the power to blow up a soul nascence, and it had an extremely low requirement on the user's cultivation.
However, while it was powerful enough, it did not differentiate between friend or foe, killing everyone. Regular cultivators would be seeking death if they tried to use it. Battles between great cultivators could change at any moment, so it was very difficult to use. As a result, it was normally only used when attacking the formations of the sect, which was why it was called the Landmine Ball.
The Dauntless monk was stern. He nodded slightly. "There are over thirty of them …"
The Monk Kings looked at one another. The sword cultivators of the Sword Collection palace were renowned for not relying on external objects, so why did they have so many Landmine Balls? And, the Landmine Balls had been monopolised by the school of mohism, so they were extremely expensive. Any one of them could be exchanged for an arcane treasure.
The Unraging monk experienced lingering fear. The Demon Suppression hall was extremely tough, but it could not endure an attack like that.
Gu Yanying sighed with a smile. "Looks like you've really been planning for many years. I never thought it would be ruined by an accident in the end. What's recorded on the jade slip?"
"A copy of the Demon King's Sword Scripture …"
The Dauntless monk let out a long sigh. Clearly, this was a cultivation method that only demonic cultivators could practise. Although he could manage to explain it as the master of the Sword Collection palace had obtained it by chance, only for the sake of studying it and accumulating Landmine Balls, it was possible that he had other uses. However, apart from these two items, there were many other items in the sumeru ring, which all proved the master of the Sword Collection palace's connection with the Demon domain.
The truth of the matter was as clear as a flea on a bald man's head.
"Do I still need to repeat what I said Just Now?" Li Qingshan asked.
"There's no need."
The Dauntless monk waved his hand powerlessly. He had no idea what to say. By the looks of it, Li Qingshan had instead saved the monastery. If the Sword Collection palace had really opened the demon cavern, the great cultivators might have had a chance at survival, but the several thousand disciples would be dead for sure.
However, it was impossible for him to thank Li Qingshan. He smiled bitterly. "As it turns out, they really did invite humiliation upon themselves and almost made a huge mistake!" If he had really suppressed and killed Li Qingshan and allowed the master of the Sword Collection palace to free up his hands, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
The Unraging monk tried to persuade him. "There's no need to blame yourself, senior brother. It's all because the Sword Collection palace's schemes run too deep. We never expected it in the beginning!"
"Junior brother, I've made you suffer," said the Dauntless monk. If it were not for the fact that he had "misjudged people" and accepted this "wretched daemon", the monastery would have become a demon cavern already.
"It's fine. I've forgiven you." Li Qingshan smiled. That punch was quite satisfying.
"Li Qingshan, I can thank you, but One Will is still the enemy of buddhism!" the Dauntless monk said sternly. Just taking away the śarīras of past eminent monks was enough for him to forget.
