This time, Lin Jin finally witnessed the power of a Rank 9 pet beast. It was indeed devastating. Thinking back to how he had the Museum of Deadly Beasts, his pet beasts were only Rank 4. Goldy was also a Rank 4 while Shang'er was the only one who advanced to Rank 5 after being baptized by divine lightning.
However, Rank 5 was still a far cry from Rank 9. It was one thing if he didn't know such a terrifying existence existed in this world, but now that he did, he had to be careful.
This time, the immortal devourer had targeted Buddha. Who knew if it would target him the next time?
Nothing else mattered. Improving his strength was the most important thing right now.
Since Curator wanted to leave, Xuan Jue and the abbot obviously wouldn't stop him. The two escorted him all the way to Daluo Temple.
"Masters, please return." Lin Jin turned back and saluted them.
He had come here to cause trouble for Daluo Temple. Who knew that after so many coincidences, he would end up becoming friends with Daluo Temple instead?
Admittedly, fate sure was an interesting one.
"There's something I forgot to tell Curator. Just two days ago, many villainous experts came looking for Curator. Seeing how fierce they were, I had the rectors pacify them. For the past two days, they've been gathering at the foot of the mountain and refused to leave. More and more people have come. Besides the villainous experts, I heard that many experts from Jade Dragon Country have come as well."
At this moment, the abbot seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead and said.
Although Daluo Temple was just a temple, its strength was comparable to a premium country or even stronger. A thousand-year heritage was no small matter. Moreover, after getting to know them, Lin Jin knew that Daluo Temple's heritage was far more than a thousand years old.
"I apologize for worrying you, Master Abbot." Lin Jin saluted. "If I'm not mistaken, these people are probably here for me. I'll have them leave now."
"That would be great!" The abbot quickly returned the gesture.
In front of Curator, the abbot dared not put on airs. Even Grandmaster Xuan Jue was courteous to Curator.
After bidding farewell to the two monks, Lin Jin carried the little fox in his arms and led Goldy down the mountain slowly. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a large group of people in the distance.
This group was not to be underestimated. There were quite a few experts among them. Black Crow, Madam Ghost Child, Coffin Man, Old Turtle, and Evil Scholar were among them.
Other than that, Lin Jin even saw Ye Yuzhou and Chen Ruyuan, the two guardians of Jade Dragon Kingdom.
This lineup was enough to crush an average intermediate kingdom.
However, against Daluo Temple, it was still a little difficult. The Head Monk of the Six Halls was able to fend off many experts at the foot of the mountain. The stalemate had been going on for quite some time now.
When Daluo Temple's rectors saw Lin Jin descending the mountain, they hurried over.
"Greetings, Householder Curator!"
The head monks were very polite. They all knew that the curator was a guest of the Buddha. Even Grandmaster Xuan Jue addressed him as "Fellow Daoist," which was a testament to his status. Naturally, they were very respectful.
"Thank you, masters. These friends are here because of me so let me handle this." Lin Jin was very polite. Having said that, he walked over.
The villainous cultivators had already noticed Curator and hurried forward.
But when he got closer, Lin Jin was dumbfounded.
Lin Jin expected Black Crow and Madam Ghost Child to be here, but he didn't expect Old Tian to be here as well. Old Tian's mutated demonic tyrannosaurus was very eye-catching. Moreover, Old Tian hadn't cultivated the Beastmaster Scroll so he had no idea how to keep a pet beast.
Ye Yuzhou and Chen Ruyuan were also familiar faces.
Besides them, most of them were unfamiliar faces. Lin Jin could tell that a few of them weren't even human.
They were monsters with high cultivation levels.
Why were monsters here too?
Lin Jin wasn't joking when he said they had high cultivation levels. Since these monsters were in human form, it meant that they knew how to shapeshift. However, Lin Jin was sure that he had never seen them before.
While Lin Jin was deep in thought, the large group of people came forward and bowed in unison.
"Greetings, Curator!"
Although their voices weren't uniform, they were still earth-shattering and domineering.
Lin Jin's aura wasn't weak either. Dressed in plain clothes and wearing a mask, he carried an obedient six-tailed fox in his arms. He looked mysterious.
Soon, Lin Jin learned what happened from Black Crow and the others.
Three days ago, the news of him visiting Daluo Temple as the curator had spread like wildfire. There was no way he could keep it a secret. After all, the commotion at Daluo Temple could be seen from tens of miles away and felt it within a hundred miles.
Just a little digging would reveal what happened. Moreover, Lin Jin had questioned Daluo Temple's monks back then. Hence, news of Curator storming Daluo Temple in a rage spread like wildfire.
The villainous faction had their own channels of communication so Black Crow and the others were the first to hear about it. Hence, they rushed over immediately. After all, when Curator was unexpectedly absent during the Visitation Hall's opening, they knew something must have happened so they reacted quickly.
Ye Yuzhou and Chen Ruyuan were the same. However, they told Lin Jin that they were here on an imperial edict. Lin Jin immediately understood.
Jade Dragon Kingdom's emperor, He Qian, had sent them here.
Admittedly, He Qian was a decisive man. Moreover, he was so determined to get involved in something like this. After all, a single mistake could offend an existence that surpassed even premium countries like Daluo Temple.
It wasn't easy for He Qian to send people here. At the very least, He Qian had expressed Jade Dragon Country's stance.
Lin Jin was grateful for this favor.
As for the monsters, most villainous factions couldn't tell what they were. They simply assumed that they were loyal warriors who came to help, so many of them showed up this time.
However, there were also experts like Ye Yuzhou who could tell that something was amiss. Still, they assumed that Curator was a masterful person. Moreover, when he went to Daluo Temple, he had publicly reprimanded the monks for killing monsters indiscriminately and disregarding good and evil.
Naturally, his voice of seeking justice for all the monsters in the world attracted the help of some monsters with high cultivation levels. The Curator's name already had some weight to it. After the incident at Daluo Temple, it was certain that the Curator's name would resound throughout the world.
This was something Lin Jin didn't expect.
Now that the situation was clear, Lin Jin's next step was to think of a way to get these people to disperse. Of course, he gave them some benefits as well. Regardless of whether he knew them or not, they were all here because of Curator's name. Some of them came from other provinces and it wasn't Lin Jin's style to make them come here for nothing.
After all, he had turned Daluo Temple from an enemy into a friend. What if he didn't? If he had to fight to the death with Daluo Temple, these people would be risking their lives to help him. Whether they were sincere or not, Lin Jin couldn't reject this favor.
Also, Lin Jin thought of something. Since these people came from all over the world, it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask about White Ape and Zhi Yin's whereabouts.
Who knows, there might be some unexpected gains.
Faced with these hundreds of people, Lin Jin pressed his hand into the air. A wave of beastly aura swept out and the clamor immediately died down.
After explaining White Ape and Zhi Yin's situation, Lin Jin asked, "Everyone, you've come from all over the world. Have you seen or heard of them? Even if it's just a word or a clue, I'll be fine."
