After all, things had been too smooth for Daluo Temple for the past hundred years. Not only had they reached the peak of their development, but no one dared to go head-on against Daluo Temple and no one dared to criticize them either.
Even the most powerful countries treated Daluo Temple with the utmost respect. Because of this, the monks of Daluo Temple developed an arrogant temperament.
They couldn't stand others criticizing them.
Not to mention talking about their faults, even the slightest bit of disrespect towards them would make them angry.
However, with the abbot around, they dared not do anything. The abbot smiled. "Sir, if I'm not mistaken, the creature in your arms is a fox spirit!"
"You have a good eye, Master Abbot," Lin Jin said in a deep voice. Then, he asked, "May I know who is the rector of your Exorcism Hall?"
The sudden change of topic caused many people to not be able to react in time. Those who did react all furrowed their brows. They were already certain that this person was here to cause trouble.
"Master Abbot, this person doesn't seem friendly. Why should we be nice to him …" a monk said angrily. Before he could finish, the abbot raised a hand to stop him.
"The rector of Exorcism Hall is my junior, Jue Zhen. He returned to the temple a few days ago and is currently recuperating. I know that you are an expert, so please state your purpose in coming here. There's no need to beat around the bush." It was obvious that the abbot didn't want to beat around the bush.
Lin Jin said nothing.
However, the invisible pressure he was exerting was even more intense.
After a long while, Lin Jin broke the silence. "There's a wealthy family called the Qiao family in Reed City of Jade Dragon Kingdom. They have an ancestral heirloom and the Qiao family has always behaved according to the rules. However, they were targeted by villains …"
Lin Jin was recounting the entire story of the incident.
Lin Jin only picked out the main points and explained the situation in a few words. "You can call me Curator.
"You can call me Curator. The fox demon in your arms is my grand-disciple. My other grand-disciple is a white ape demon. Even though they are demons, they practice righteousness and have never harmed anyone. The reason they went to the Qiao Family was to defend against thieves and protect the people. I never thought that they would be harmed by the eminent monks of Daluo Temple. If I hadn't arrived in time, this grand-disciple of mine would have died under the Heavenly Thunder Curse of Daluo Temple. My disciple is also injured and is currently recuperating. So, Master Abbot, what is the purpose of my visit to Daluo Temple?"
Lin Jin spoke slowly and at the end, he enunciated each word clearly.
Not only were Lin Jin and the monks present here, but there were also many worshippers watching from afar. Lin Jin's voice was loud and sincere. The monks of Daluo Temple were stunned.
If what this self-proclaimed 'Curator' said was true, then Daluo Temple was indeed taking the side of the wicked.
Moreover, they had clearly heard the Heavenly Thunder Curse just now. Even though the curator did not explain how he dispelled it, there was no doubt that his methods were extraordinary. After all, the Heavenly Thunder Curse was extremely rare even in Daluo Temple. It was impossible for them to dispel it, at least in their eyes.
The abbot was frowning. He was a veteran. The others might not understand the lethality of this' Curator ', but he did.
The other party was accusing Daluo Temple of wrongdoing.
"Curator, based on what you've said, the cultivators of Daluo Temple have been accused of not caring about right and wrong and taking the side of the wicked. If that's the case, then Daluo Temple is indeed in the wrong. But these are only your words, there's no proof. Since you've come here alone, you must have something to rely on. However, Daluo Temple isn't a place to be slandered. Curator, even if you're an expert, you have to explain yourself or I won't let you pass."
The abbot's aura surged.
The monks behind him were already annoyed. Now that they heard the man's words and how he was' slandering 'the reputation of their thousand-year-old temple, they couldn't hold it in any longer.
"You demon, the abbot has a good temper and will not be calculative with you. However, I will not allow you to spout nonsense here. You have the fox demon with you, so you must be up to no good. I will take you down first, then I will kill you to restore the peace of Daluo Temple."
Having said that, the hot-tempered monk leaped out. His arms were bare, and there was a lion and tiger tattoo on his shoulder and chest.
There was a faint roar of a lion and tiger on the tattoo.
"Zhi Zhang, don't!"
Although the abbot tried to stop him, he was just saying it. He didn't actually make a move. It was obvious that the other party had a tacit understanding and was just putting on a show.
Knowing that this' Curator 'didn't come with good intentions, it was better to test his strength first. Even though the pressure was strong, it was probably due to the help of some kind of ritual implement.
The monk named Zhi Zhang was tall and strong with thick eyebrows and angry eyes. He looked just like the angry guardian vajra painted on the walls of Buddhist sects. Right now, he was holding a sun and moon scepter, ready to strike.
Lin Jin knew the other party would test him, and sure enough, he did.
In an instant, Lin Jin observed the lion and tiger tattoo on the monk's body with his beast appraisal skills and determined that this was a liger beast. Ligers were native to Nanjiang and were large in size and unusually ferocious. This monk had fused the Beastmaster Second Scroll into his body, which was how he gained such tyrannical strength.
It was easy for Lin Jin to defeat him, but how to win in order to further intimidate the other party was a different matter altogether.
It would be best if Lin Jin could shatter the other party's ambition and fighting spirit in one fell swoop. By doing so, Lin Jin could make an example out of him so that the others in Daluo Temple wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Lin Jin wanted a one-on-one battle like this. If they all came at him at the same time, he would be in trouble.
Lin Jin was well-versed in the Beastmaster Scroll. After all, he had learned the four most powerful scrolls. He was familiar with the second scroll as well. If he could instantly break through the other party's Beastmaster Scroll, he should be able to do it.
As his thoughts raced, the monk's sun and moon scepter was already flying toward him.
Lin Jin raised a finger.
A silver needle flew out, piercing through the monk's shoulder at lightning speed.
"Break!"
With a soft cry, it seemed like a light tap of his finger. But when it landed on Zhi Zhang, an incredible force erupted. With a loud bang, Zhi Zhang's Beastmaster Second Scroll was instantly broken.
It was as if someone had stripped him naked.
Almost at the same time, a huge Liger Beast emerged from the other party's body. Monk Zhi Zhang felt as if 90% of his strength had been sucked out of him in an instant. He could no longer hold on to the extremely heavy Sun and Moon Scepter, and it slipped out of his hands. His body also turned numb from the piercing of the silver needles, causing him to fall stiffly to the ground.
As for the liger beast that had escaped, it was now subservient to Lin Jin, not daring to act recklessly.
It was simple, almost effortless. Before Daluo Temple could even unleash his might, Zhi Zhang of Daluo Temple had been defeated. And it was such a thorough and humiliating defeat.
The monks of Daluo Temple were in an uproar.
Some of the monks were about to step forward when Lin Jin called for Goldy. Goldy immediately flapped his wings and transformed into a giant firebird to block the monks.
