When he returned to the Blood Sun Sect's great hall, his face was as dark as ink.
The withered old man slowly appeared in the void and looked at him in confusion. "Sect Master, where's Monk Ding Ru?"
"We're wasting our energy. That bald donkey won't fall for it!" Zhang Changhuai said coldly. "He's seen through our plan. He won't come over!"
The withered old man frowned. "This monk is so difficult to deal with?"
"He's more cunning than I thought!" Zhang Changhuai gritted his teeth and said, "We have to think of a way to destroy him. He has already gone mad and is killing our disciples everywhere. If this goes on, we will all be killed by him!"
The withered old man thought for a moment and said, "Sect Master, if it really doesn't work, then we'll use that move!"
Zhang Changhuai was stunned. He frowned and shook his head. "No!"
Sacrificing one or two Elders was acceptable, but sacrificing all of them was absolutely unacceptable. The Blood Sun Sect's strength would be greatly damaged, and it wouldn't be easy to recover.
The withered old man said, "Sect Master, are we really unable to take him down even if we attack together?"
"He's very cunning. He won't give us this chance." Zhang Changhuai frowned. "He has a treasure that can lock down the void."
"We have one too." The withered old man snorted. "Then let's fight."
"Ours can't compare to his." Zhang Changhuai shook his head.
"This monk is really lucky!" The withered old man said, "Could it be that the luck of the heavens is on his side?"
He revealed a bewildered expression.
The older one was, the higher one's cultivation base was, and the more reverence one had towards the mysteries of heaven and fate. However, when one's cultivation base was extremely high, one would realize that it was not safer or more stable. In front of fate, one would still be like a defenseless child.
Therefore, he was especially sensitive and respectful to fate and the mysteries of heaven.
Zhang Changhuai snorted, "With Miss Zhou here, how could Tianyun be on the side of Buddhism!"
"That's true." The withered old man smiled in relief. "Since that's the case, let's try attacking together. If it doesn't work, we'll use that move!"
"Absolutely not!" Zhang Changhuai said in a deep voice, "Getting rid of Ding Ru isn't the end of the matter. There are still the Samsara Temple, the Merciful Voyage Temple, and the other three temples. Without you, how am I supposed to deal with them?"
The old man nodded slowly.
"In that case, we can only adopt a defensive stance!" The withered old man sighed and said, "Summon all the disciples back. No matter how powerful Monk Dingru is, he wouldn't dare to barge into our place alone, right? I can't wait for that! "
If Monk Ding Ru were to barge into this place, he would definitely die. With the sect guarding formation working together with them, their prowess was unparalleled. Monk Ding Ru would definitely die. The most crucial thing now was that they had no way to lure him over.
"… Fine." Zhang Changhuai nodded slowly and with great difficulty.
Once that happened, it would be tantamount to closing the mountain gate, and all the painstaking efforts from before would be wasted. The eyes and ears that were hidden everywhere in the world would also be crippled, and they would become deaf and blind, like a turtle hiding its head and tail in order to protect themselves.
It was a difficult decision for him to make, and he would definitely be ridiculed by others. The Blood Sun Sect was actually afraid of a mere monk. The Blood Sun Sect would lose all face, and he, as the sect master, would not be able to raise his head.
Only then did the withered old man realize that there was a young monk beside Zhang Changhuai. He frowned and looked over, "Sect Master, this is …?"
"A disciple that was saved by Ding Ru," Zhang Changhuai said, "an undiscovered pearl with excellent aptitude. He can be cultivated!"
"Is he really our disciple?" The withered old man thought for a moment, then slowly nodded. "You're called Wu Shangyi, right?"
The young monk opened his eyes and gave a fist salute with great difficulty. "Disciple Wu Shangyi greets Elder Xu."
"Hmm, you've seen me before?" the withered old man, Xu Kang, asked.
The young monk nodded lightly and said, "This disciple has met Elder Xu once."
"No wonder." Xu Kang nodded. "Where have you been?"
"This disciple has been sent to Danning Temple," the young monk said respectfully. "It has always been quiet and peaceful, but I didn't expect a monk to suddenly barge in and make a killing move. Master and Uncle-Master were all killed."
"That was Demon Subduing Temple's palace master, Monk Ding Ru. You were lucky to be able to escape with your life, which is rare. Cultivate well and avenge your master and Uncle-Master."
"Yes." The young monk said respectfully, "Please guide me, Elder. This disciple will definitely work hard and kill this Monk Ding Ru with my own hands!"
His words were light and calm, but his eyes were shining brightly.
"Hehe …" Xu Kang and Zhang Changhuai both laughed.
"Little fella, do you know how powerful Monk Ding Ru is?" Xu Kang asked.
"This disciple saw it with my own eyes and even fought with him," the young monk, Wu Shangyi, said in a deep voice.
"Are you confident that you can kill him?" Xu Kang asked.
Wu Shangyi scoffed. "Although he's strong, he's not invincible. I can definitely kill him!"
"Naive." Xu Kang shook his head. "The Demon Subduing Temple's palace master's martial arts progress by leaps and bounds, surpassing everyone. You're not his match now, and you won't be in the future, so you should just give up."
Wu Shangyi said, "Are we just going to let him be?"
"Don't worry, he won't live more than a hundred years," Xu Kang said. "Every Demon Subduing Temple's palace master only has a lifespan of a hundred years, he won't be able to run wild for too long."
Compared to ten thousand years, a hundred years wasn't long, and it would be over soon enough.
Wu Shangyi clenched his teeth. "I don't want him to live more than a hundred years! … Sect Leader, Elder Xu, our Blood Sun Sect must have a way to deal with him, right? "
"… No." Xu Kang shook his head. "Unless he voluntarily comes to die, we can't do anything to him!"
Wu Shangyi revealed a disappointed expression, but he suddenly became spirited. "Sect Leader, Elder Xu, I heard that there's a Miss Zhou …"
"Where did you hear that?!" Zhang Changhuai's expression changed, and his eyes narrowed.
Wu Shangyi was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "I heard it from Master. Master told me to keep it a secret and not reveal it to anyone. This Miss Zhou is the incarnation of a Celestial, so she must have a way to kill Monk Ding Ru, right?"
"Who's your master?" Zhang Changhuai asked coldly.
"Zhou Dingfang," Wu Shangyi replied.
Zhang Changhuai scoffed. "So it's him! … He deserves to be punished for not keeping his mouth shut! "
Zhou Dingfang was also one of the top-notch experts. Although he was outside, he had participated in several major operations in the sect, and was one of the fifteen people in the sect who knew of Miss Zhou's existence. However, he had been ordered not to reveal it, and he didn't expect it to be revealed to a disciple.
He frowned and asked, "Was Zhou Dingfang also killed just now?"
"Yes, Monk Ding Ru killed Master as soon as he came in." Wu Shangyi's eyes quickly became bloodshot.
"Damn it!" Zhang Changhuai clenched his teeth.
Zhou Dingfang was a top-notch expert, but he couldn't even withstand a single blow. This Monk Ding Ru's cultivation level was getting stronger and more terrifying.
He said in a deep voice, "I'll order for all the disciples to be recalled right now!"
He turned around and walked out.
Wu Shangyi revealed a troubled expression, not knowing what to do.
"Come with me," Xu Kang said.
Wu Shangyi cupped his fists and followed Xu Kang out. His steps were slow, and his face was so pale that it was as if he had smeared powder on it.
"Elder, is there really no other way to deal with Monk Ding Ru?" Wu Shangyi asked reluctantly. "Then can we ask Miss Zhou for help?"
"Shut up!" Xu Kang scoffed.
Wu Shangyi didn't understand.
Xu Kang said, "Don't mention Miss Zhou!"
Wu Shangyi was confused. "Elder, why?"
