The narrow path was extremely dark, and both sides were pasted with materials that blocked immortal senses. If it wasn't for the monk leading the way, Ye Kong would never have thought that there would be such a secret path under the altar of the Hall of Great Strength in Jueyuan Temple.
The monk led the way in front and smiled apologetically. "Actually, don't look at how Abbot Chen Jingxuan … no, that dog thief Chen Jingxuan stole a lot of immortal jades, but not much actually fell into his hands. Most of them were handed over to the headquarter. Every year, monks from the headquarter would come to collect them. If it wasn't for you, they would have come to collect them in a few days."
Ye Kong nodded inwardly. It seemed that he came at the right time. Although he received 1.5 million immortal jades from the Li family, it was a bill of exchange, not cash. If he rashly went to the Li family's bank to collect the immortal jades, it was hard to say whether he could come out or not.
Therefore, Ye Kong was still very short of money.
Not long after, they came to a wide place and saw a big pit in the distance. There was actually a faint stench coming from it.
"What is that place?" Ye Kong asked.
"That's … a pit for dead people." The monk looked troubled. "It's full of dead people, Senior shouldn't look at it."
Of course, Ye Kong and Wu Yong didn't care about him. They walked to the pit and saw a pile of corpses inside. At a glance, they didn't know if there were hundreds or thousands of corpses. The corpses at the top were still rotting, but the ones at the bottom had all turned into bones. It was eerie and frightening.
"You killed all of them!" Ye Kong said angrily.
The monk was so scared that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Senior, please spare us. These people wanted to die, it has nothing to do with us!"
After asking again, they found out that these were the villagers who took the pills. That kind of addictive pill was poisonous. The mortals of the Immortal World couldn't take it at all. After consuming it for a long time, they would lose their life force and turn into corpses. As for the dead villagers, they were thrown here.
Wu Yong asked again, "Since they are dead, why aren't they buried? Why are they piled here?"
The monk hurriedly said, "That pill is called Medicinal Stone Powder, and one of the ingredients is called medicinal stone, which is rather expensive. And these dead people have medicinal stones in their bodies, so we keep their bones. Then, the people from the headquarters take them away, grind the bones into powder, extract the medicinal stones, and then refine new medicinal stone powder … "
Before the monk could finish his words, Wu Yong flew into a rage. These demonic monks were simply deranged. They wouldn't even let the dead off. They extracted medicinal pills, refined them into medicinal powder, and then refined them into medicinal powder to harm people. After the people died, they refined them again … This cycle repeated itself, and it was unknown how many people had died under this medicinal powder.
Wu Yong's eyes flickered with killing intent as he cupped his fists towards Ye Kong. "Benefactor!"
Ye Kong knew what he wanted to do, so he didn't say anything and just nodded.
The monk knew what he was going to do. He hurriedly kowtowed and begged, "Senior, please spare my life. This is all the evil done by the Mani Sect and Chen Jingxuan. I have no choice … Senior, please spare my life. You said you would spare me!" The monk realized that his begging was futile, so he began to shout at the top of his lungs.
Ye Kong looked at the thousands of corpses in the pit, then turned around and said coldly, "I can spare you, but they! I can't spare you! "
The monk knew that he was about to die, so he stopped begging. He stood up and shouted, "Hypocrite! If you have the ability to destroy the Mani Sect, killing me is nothing! Even if I die, there will still be thousands of people joining the Mani Sect! "
"Then I'll kill thousands of people!"
"Don't brag!" The monk threw caution to the wind and shouted, "Don't talk about thousands of people, the Mani Sect's Guru Zhou Jiajun is almost an immortal! Can you kill him? I'm not afraid to tell you that the one who killed Wu Yong's cousin was Guru Zhou Jiajun's eldest disciple. Kill! Kill! Do you dare to kill! "
Hearing that there were enemies, Wu Yong was furious. He shouted, "Don't worry! I will definitely kill Zhou Jiajun's eldest disciple! "
Then, he released the Bamboo Abyss Sword and circled around the monk's neck. The monk's head rolled to the ground.
After killing the monk, Wu Yong's anger subsided. He exhaled and said, "Benefactor, if the Mani Sect gets their hands on these villagers' remains, I don't know how many innocent people will die. Please allow Wu Yong to keep them and choose another place to bury them."
Ye Kong nodded. This Wu Yong was a person with a conscience. Let him do it. There were many corpses. Fortunately, the Cosmos Sack that Chen Jingxuan left behind was spacious enough to store the corpses.
Wu Yong was pretending to be a corpse. Ye Kong continued to walk forward. After a while, he came to another hall. There were many big boxes placed neatly here. On the left, there were dozens of boxes filled with black gray granules. These granules were like rat droppings and did not smell. They were most likely the medicinal powder that the Mani Sect used to harm people.
As for the two chests on the right, they were actually filled to the brim with immortal jade. They probably wanted to show that they had a lot of immortal jade, so they did not use the immortal jade boxes.
Ye Kong took out a few immortal jade boxes. Each immortal jade box could hold up to fifty thousand immortal jade. It took four immortal jade boxes to hold all of them. There were actually two hundred thousand immortal jade!
This trip was fruitful. Originally, Ye Kong had no use for Chen Jingxuan's Mani Sect's Buddhist scriptures, and those trashy Immortal Equipment and Immortal Armors were even more useless to him. Who would have thought that he would pick up 200,000 Immortal Jades in the end?
As for the medicinal powder, he could not keep it to harm people, so he kept it as well.
However, this was not the end of the trip. There was a small hall at the back! There were dozens of young and beautiful women locked inside. Some of them were for Chen Jingxuan to play with, and some were prepared to be given to the headquarters. When the women saw Ye Kong, they all panicked.
Ye Kong quickly comforted them and released them. They were all from the nearby villages, so they could go home.
When the women were gone, Wu Yong had finished his work. The two of them lit a fire and burned Jueyuan Temple to the ground.
On a distant mountain top, the fire shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed. At the foot of the mountain, there was a dense forest and clear water. The scenery was quiet and beautiful.
Wu Yong buried the corpses. To prevent them from being discovered by the Mani Sect monks, he did not erect any tombstones. He filled the ground and scattered rotten leaves, letting them rest in peace.
While doing this, Wu Yong thought, Benefactor is also being hunted. I can't drag him down. I must find a way to kill Zhou Jiajun's first disciple. It must be very dangerous. If I die, then so be it. I can't drag Benefactor down.
Unexpectedly, Ye Kong sat on a big rock by the river and asked, "Wu Yong, what do you plan to do next?"
Wu Yong did not dare to tell him about killing Zhou Jiajun's first disciple. He only said, "Benefactor, I want to go to Treasure Gathering Planet to find Goddess Meifang. After all, I promised her that I would serve her."
Ye Kong did not reveal his identity. He knew that he was also in a precarious situation down there. If he brought Wu Yong along, he would be in danger. It was better to let Wu Yong go to the Li family. Li Wenjin would not mistreat him.
Therefore, Ye Kong nodded and said, "That's fine. Why don't we part ways here and meet again in the future?"
After the two of them said goodbye, Ye Kong rode on his seven-colored cloud and left to the north. Not long after, Wu Yong also rode on his cloud and flew to the north.
Thousands of miles to the north, on a plain, there was a magnificent temple.
At this moment, it was raining heavily. Amidst the rumbling thunder, countless pedestrians ran to avoid the rain. Some came to burn incense and pray to Buddha. Some escaped into the temple to hide from the rain, while others hurried home.
With another loud bang, a huge electric snake appeared in the sky. In front of the majestic temple, a figure wearing a black straw raincoat and a bamboo hat was already standing there.
The person held the bamboo hat and looked up with narrowed eyes. Looking at the plaque on the temple, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Wu Yuan Temple. That's right, another place where demon monks gather! It's fine if you guys are insane and go against the heavens, but you even want to kill me … Terrorists, right? Ye is more terrifying than you guys! "
The person who came was Ye Kong. He was being hunted by all sides and had nowhere to go. Now that these Mani disciples were so hateful, of course he would not sit back and do nothing. He would kill as many of these evil monks as there were. He would not be lenient.
The Mani disciples did not know that they had provoked a god of plague. In their opinion, they were just chasing after a mid-level Golden Immortal. They would probably wet their pants in fear when they saw the notice on the temple's door. We couldn't find you, so you're going to come looking for us?
That was why the monks of Wu Yuan Temple were not prepared at all. However, who would have thought that Ye Kong was different from the other people who were being chased. Not only did he not escape, he even took the initiative to come to them. In the lower realm, which sect dared to provoke him? It was not because his cultivation was the best in the world, but because he was too crazy and reckless.
Humans were afraid of the ruthless, ghosts were afraid of the evil, and the evil were afraid of the reckless. That was why Ye was called a god of plague in the lower realm. The people of the immortal realm clearly did not understand his temper.
But then again, the Mani disciples were also reckless. They swore to kill. If you don't die, I'll vomit blood and die!
It was unknown who would die in the end in this battle.
Arriving at Wu Yuan Temple, Ye Kong was not in a hurry to kill his way in. Instead, he gave the reception monk a piece of immortal jade to inquire about the situation in the temple.
The receptionist monk took the immortal jade and said in delight, "Benefactor, the abbot of our temple is an upper-grade Golden Immortal. There are also two mid-grade Golden Immortals and five lower-grade Golden Immortals. All of them have profound Dharma and are experts who come and go as they please."
The immortal pill Ye Kong used to conceal his cultivation was still effective. So when others saw him as a mortal in the immortal realm, and he was wearing a straw rain cape and bamboo hat, the monks naturally did not recognize him. They thought he was here to seek immortal fate.
Therefore, the receptionist monk suggested again, "Benefactor, could it be that you want to cultivate? Our temple has the best medicinal powder for cultivation. After taking it, you will immediately become an immortal. You can even fly in the sky and burrow underground. If you take it for a long time, becoming a Golden Immortal will be a piece of cake. It's even possible to become a Buddha. "
Ye Kong thought to himself, "Become an immortal in your dreams. Why don't you take the medicinal powder yourself?"
Seeing Ye Kong shake his head, the reception monk said, "Benefactor, you are getting married. The bride is not bad, right? But without the blessing of us monks, she is not a good bride. As long as you send the bride to the temple one day before the wedding and let our abbot scatter Buddha's light on her, your children will have the hope of becoming immortals in the future. "
Ye Kong sneered, "I'm afraid it's not just scattering Buddha's light."
The reception monk's heart sank. He felt that the other party had come with ill intentions. He said warily, "Benefactor, what do you mean?"
At that moment, someone outside shouted, "Demon monks of Wu Yuan Temple, come out and die!"
