His words were not meant to frighten her, but to calm Lu Zhu's rage, lest she really destroy the secret manual in one fell swoop.
Lu Zhu calmed down and sneered as she looked at both sides.
Lu Junshan sighed in relief and waved his hand as he took two steps back.
He knew his daughter's stubbornness. If she was forced, she would do anything. Moreover, she was so agitated that she was easily angered. If she was provoked again, she would do something she would regret.
Xin Ji took two steps back too. Chu Li, Monk Hui Guang, and the eighteen monks behind them took two steps back too.
The atmosphere calmed down.
Lu Junshan said, "Little girl, don't mess around. If you really destroy the Taming Tiger Seal, what will happen to Gale Island's future?"
Lu Zhu looked at him and sneered, "Father, you only care about Gale Island and not me. You don't care if I live or die, right?"
"Nonsense!" Lu Junshan said angrily, "Do you think I don't have enough food or clothes for you? Since you were young, I've always followed your wishes. You, on the other hand, disobeyed your father for an outsider!"
"Brother Zhou is not an outsider!" Lu Zhu scolded.
Lu Junshan scoffed, "Is he closer to you than your father?"
"He can sacrifice his life for me. Can you, father?" Lu Zhu pouted.
Lu Junshan said, "If I die, Gale Island will be without a leader. What should we do? Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Give me the secret manual first and I will bury Little Zhou properly. "
"Father, you don't have to say anymore. I will burn the secret manual to accompany Brother Zhou. He will only feel at ease if the secret manual is with him," Lu Zhu shook her head. Her words were soft but firm.
Lu Junshan's eyes were cold as he stared at her, "Little girl, you won't listen to me. You've been possessed!"
"Yes, I've been possessed. If I knew Brother Zhou would be so troubled, I would not have let him help me!" Lu Zhu choked again as she said this. She was filled with regret and the pain was unbearable.
She covered her heart with one hand and wished she could pluck her heart out.
"He's already dead, what's the point of talking about this!" Lu Junshan shook his head and said, "What's more, I didn't expect Little Zhou to be so staunch. Since he didn't want to do it, he should have just refused. Why did he have to commit suicide after doing it?"
"It's all because of you!" Lu Zhu shouted.
Lu Junshan snapped, "I don't feel good about Little Zhou's death. Do you really think I have a heart of stone?!"
"You only have the Subduing Tiger Seal in your heart! Tiger Subduing Seal! "Lu Zhu shouted.
Lu Junshan glared at her. His gaze fell on the secret manual in her hand, and he was eager to make a move.
Lu Zhu said, "Father, do you steal faster or do I destroy faster? You can try!"
"Amitabha!" Xin Ji put his palms together and said calmly, "Two benefactors, please listen to me!"
Lu Junshan snorted and said, "Abbot Master, you don't have to say anymore. Even if you spout lotus flowers from your mouth, it's impossible for us to return the Tiger-taming Seal. Let's just say that our Fierce Gale Island owes the Great Mercy Temple a favor."
Xin Ji smiled and said, "It's fine even if you don't owe me a favor. This antique study of our temple needs to be compatible with the dharmic base or else it would be a waste of effort. Island Owner Lu, why are you so stubborn? You've worked so hard for nothing."
"We'll only know if it's a waste of effort," Lu Junshan said.
Xin Ji sighed, "Looks like I have no other choice."
"Old monk, you don't have to say anything else. I'll destroy it now!" Lu Zhu said as she moved her palm to shatter it.
"Wait!" Chu Li suddenly said.
His voice was clear and loud, and it shook people's hearts.
Lu Zhu looked at him for the first time and frowned at him.
Chu Li put his palms together and bowed. "I'm Ding Ru, I have something to say."
"I don't want to hear it!" Lu Zhu shouted.
Chu Li said, "If I save Master's Senior Hui Cheng and bring him back to life, you will return the Tiger Subduing Seal. What do you think?"
"Impossible!" Lu Zhu said coldly.
Her bright eyes flickered as she looked at Huicheng who was in her arms. He had been stiff for a long time. Even with miraculous pills, it was impossible to revive him. There were countless pills in the world and many of them could revive the dead. However, those were people who had just breathed their last or were about to breathe their last. It was impossible to revive a body that was stiff and cold.
However, when she heard Chu Li's words, she felt an inexplicable sense of hope. She was like a drowning person who saw a straw. Even though she knew she could not save herself, she still went forward to grab it.
Chu Li smiled and said, "If Master's Senior Hui Cheng returns to life, can you return the Tiger Subduing Seal?"
"… Alright!" Lu Zhu scoffed. "If you can save Big Brother Zhou, I'll return the Tiger Subduing Seal to you!"
Chu Li said, "I have to say this first. Once Master's Senior Hui Cheng returns to life, he'll have to return to the temple to be punished."
"He wants to return to normal life!" Lu Zhu shook her head and said, "He doesn't belong to the Great Mercy Temple!"
Chu Li smiled. "If he doesn't return to normal life, Master's Senior Hui Cheng can't wait to be punished first!"
Lu Zhu's expression was uncertain.
Chu Li looked at her.
Everyone else looked at Chu Li. Xin Ji smiled without saying a word. Monk Hui Guang seemed to be deep in thought.
Lu Junshan also looked at Chu Li with an uncertain expression.
Although the monks of the Great Mercy Temple were powerful, skilled in martial arts, profound in the Buddhist base, and possessed divine powers, they did not seem to have any divine powers that could bring the dead back to life. Could they really save a person who was already dead?
Chu Li saw that Lu Zhu was still hesitating. He shook his head and smiled. "If you're not willing, I won't meddle."
"What a vicious monk!" Lu Zhu gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Alright, as long as you save him, I'll return the Tiger Subduing Seal to you!"
"Young Zhu!" Lu Junshan shouted.
Lu Zhu stared at him. "You can either destroy him or return it to the Great Mercy Temple. No matter what, I won't give it to you. Father, just give up!"
"You're a traitor!" Lu Junshan's face turned red and he was furious. "I've raised you for nothing!"
Lu Zhu scoffed and ignored him. "If you come to snatch it, I'll destroy it so you'll never have the chance to get it!"
Chu Li disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared a hundred meters away. He lifted a huge rock with both hands like an ant carrying a brick. The huge rock landed with a loud bang and the mountain seemed to tremble twice.
"Crash!" The huge rock fell into pieces.
Lu Junshan's eyes flashed and he frowned at Monk Hui Guang. "The Great Mercy Temple has a successor. Congratulations!"
Using inner energy to shatter such a huge rock into pieces, the skill was pure and powerful. It was extremely shocking. He was the only one on the Gale Island who could do it. Even Xing Tao, the Guardian behind him, could not do it.
Chu Li's movements were extraordinarily fast. A stone tower was quickly built. His brush moved like a dragon. The bystanders could not even see what he carved on the tower. With a flash of black light, the Rotary Tower was completed.
"Miss, please put Master's Senior Hui Cheng into the tower." Chu Li sat at the top of the tower and raised his voice.
Lu Zhu hesitated for a moment.
If this tower was a formation, she would be walking into a trap the moment she entered. She would not have a chance to destroy the secret manual.
She pursed her swollen red lips and finally carried Monk Hui Cheng.
Lu Junshan hurriedly said, "Wait!"
Lu Zhu gave him a sidelong glance and stepped into the tower.
Lu Junshan shook his head and sighed. This stupid girl was too stubborn. She had completely fallen out with him.
He turned to Xin Ji and said, "Abbot, the Great Mercy Temple is still the best. I'm impressed!"
