Crack …
When he recalled the scene of his left arm being torn off from his shoulder by Evil Moon back then, Gesandoj, who was sitting cross-legged and chanting sutras, could not help but burn with rage. He forcefully crushed one of the Vajra Bodhi prayer beads in his hand!
Knock, knock, knock …
The sound of knocking on the door made him withdraw his thoughts.
"Master, there are eight people at the foot of the mountain. They want to see you." A young lama's voice came from outside the door.
Ge Sandoji slowly opened his eyes and stopped chanting.
"Eight people? Who are they? "Ge Sandoji turned his head and asked the young lama outside the door.
"They only said that they are Eldritch's enemies. They didn't say anything else," the young lama replied.
Eldritch's enemies?
Ge Sandoji's eyes lit up when he heard that.
He did not expect that Eldritch's enemies would come to him just three days after the news was released. Moreover, there were eight of them.
"Arrange for them to wait in the tea room. I'll be there in a while," Ge Sandoji said to the young lama.
"Yes, master," the young lama responded and turned to leave.
Ge Sandoji patiently finished chanting the rest of the scriptures. Then, he closed the prayer book and stood up from the futon.
He put on the abbot's robe, opened the door, and walked out of the hall. He slowly walked to the tea room in the backyard.
In the tea room, eight middle-aged men dressed as Taoists sat quietly on eight wooden chairs.
These eight people wore purple gold Taoist hats, golden silk robes, apricot cloud shoes, swords on their backs, and horsetail whisks in their hands. Their faces were calm and solemn.
"May I know the reason why you have come to my Ganlu Temple?" Ge Sandoji asked as he slowly walked in.
When they saw the abbot's robe, the eight people immediately guessed Ge Sandoji's identity and stood up from their seats.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord." One of the slightly older Daoists waved his horsetail whisk and addressed him as Immeasurable. He then bowed to Gesang Duoji Xing. "Kunlun Sect's Eight Yin Yang Disciples greets Master Gesang."
When the other seven people saw their leader greet them, they followed suit and bowed to Ge Sandoji.
"Yin Yang Eight Disciples?" When Gesandoj heard the other party's name, he was immediately shocked. "Haven't you been …"
Four hundred years ago, the Yin Yang Eight Disciples were renowned throughout the Jianghu. Everyone in the world knew about them.
These eight people lived in seclusion in Kunlun and were known as the Yin Yang Eight Scions. They cultivated the Yin Yang Eight Extreme Dao respectively. Their Dao techniques were exquisite and their cultivation was extremely high. The Yin Yang Eight Extreme Formation that they created was even more exquisite and unbreakable.
However, it was precisely these eight top-notch masters of Taoism who were killed by Eldritch, who was neither good nor evil, that caused an uproar in the cultivation world at that time!
At that time, Eldritch's reputation was like the sun in the sky. Even the children in the private school would casually sing the words, "Both good and evil, the moon is white and the wind is clean". It was obvious how great Eldritch's reputation was.
But even so, there were only a few people who had really seen Eldritch's true face.
Eldritch usually didn't make a move, but once he did, he would take someone's life. Often, before the person who was saved had time to see the person's face clearly, Eldritch had already disappeared.
According to the rumors, this person abhorred evil and was unruly. He liked to admire the moon alone and often rode on Auspicious Clouds on nights when the moonlight was like water and the breeze was blowing gently, wandering the heavens.
If a large group of Auspicious Clouds was seen floating around the full moon on a full moon night, it would undoubtedly be Eldritch.
Eldritch's reputation made the Yin Yang Eight Disciples, who were also famous in the Cultivation World, feel disgusted.
As the saying went, in life, fame and fortune were two things.
Although these eight people's Dao techniques were exquisite and their cultivation was exquisite, they had only seen through the desire for money and material things. They valued their reputation very much, even more than their own lives.
As the saying went, two tigers cannot live on one mountain.
When they knew that Eldritch would definitely take someone's life when he made a move, the Yin Yang Eight Disciples issued a letter of challenge to Eldritch in the name of cleaning up the scum of Taoism.
They released the news that they would meet Eldritch at the Phoenix Perch Restaurant on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month and fight it out.
In order to force Eldritch to show up, they booked the entire Phoenix Perch Restaurant and hung a long couplet on the roof of the restaurant. The couplet said, "Eldritch is scum, ashamed of his inferiority."
On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Yin Yang Eight Disciples arrived at the main hall of the top floor early in the morning. They held their swords and waited for Eldritch to show up.
All the major Cultivation sects and elites of Taoism heard the news and gathered at the Phoenix Perch Restaurant. They wanted to see Eldritch's elegant demeanor and watch this fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
However, they waited for an entire night in the Phoenix Perch Restaurant and Eldritch still didn't show up.
The Yin Yang Eight Disciples looked at each other and smiled. They thought the other party had admitted defeat.
However, just as they walked out of the Phoenix Perch Restaurant with a smile on their faces, they suddenly realized that the couplet hanging on the roof had disappeared and was replaced by a four-word poem.
It said, "Yin Yang Eight Disciples, shameless.
I admire the moon today and have no intention of moving my fingers. "
— — Eldritch
The calligraphy of this four-word quatrain was vigorous and powerful. The brush strokes were like dragons and snakes. It looked natural and unrestrained.
Seeing this handwriting, all the experts were dumbfounded and looked at each other in dismay.
They were all top-notch Cultivation experts, yet none of them realized that Eldritch had been here!
What level had this person's Cultivation reached?!
The sixteen words of this poem made the Yin Yang Eight Disciples' faces turn green and white. They gnashed their teeth and burned with anger.
Yin Yang Eight Disciples, shameless. I admire the moon today and have no intention of moving my fingers.
The meaning of this poem couldn't be more obvious. It meant that the Yin Yang Eight Disciples were nothing and that they were all shameless people. He wanted to admire the moon today and had no intention of moving his fingers.
The meaning of this poem was that the eight of them together weren't even enough to move his fingers!
What an arrogant tone!
The eight people wanted to kill Eldritch.
In order to repay this humiliation, they spread the news again and asked Eldritch to meet at the Phoenix Perch Restaurant on the night of the ninth of September.
In order to ensure that Eldritch could show up in front of them this time, they found a pair of beggars on the street. Then, they tied them up and tied them to the pillar in front of the eight people.
Didn't you, Eldritch, like to help poor and pitiful people? Didn't you hate evil and punish the strong and help the weak?
Today, we caught this pair of beggars. Let's see how you're going to save them!
For the sake of reputation, the Yin Yang Eight Disciples would do anything.
They didn't know that what they did this time would cost the eight of them their lives.
The old beggar and his seven- or eight-year-old granddaughter were tied to the pillar. Their faces were filled with fear and tears as they begged to be let go.
The eight people turned a deaf ear to their pleas. They even hoped that they would cry as pitifully as possible.
The more they cried, the more likely it was that Eldritch would appear.
The onlookers downstairs were somewhat dissatisfied with the Yin Yang Eight Disciples' actions. However, they didn't really want to make things difficult for the pair of beggars. They just wanted to lure Eldritch out, so they didn't say anything.
Speaking of which, the Yin Yang Eight Disciples were currently in a fit of anger. If anyone tried to stop them, they might become their punching bag.
The pair of beggars cried and wept. It was a miserable scene.
The eight people quietly drank tea and waited for Eldritch to appear.
Whoosh … Just as the Ming Yue was hanging high in the sky and the stars were shining, a gust of cold wind blew in from the window.
The eight people simultaneously turned their heads to the window.
There was no one at the window.
So it was a false alarm, the eight people thought to themselves.
However, when they turned their heads, they realized that the pair of beggars who were tied to the pillar had disappeared. Only ropes were left on the ground.
That gust of wind just now was Eldritch!
The eight people's expressions changed, and they quickly got up from their seats.
"Eldritch, you're as timid as a mouse. You don't dare to show yourself!" Tian Qian, who was ranked first among the Yin Yang Eight Disciples, said angrily to the empty air, "If you have the ability, come out and fight us!"
Under the circumstances where the eight people were waiting, the two living people, one old and one young, were quietly rescued by the other party. This was a great humiliation to the Yin Yang Eight Disciples!
"Eldritch, if you're scared, just say the word. We can spare your life!" Di Kun, who was ranked second among the Yin Yang Eight Disciples, also shouted to the air.
"Disasters committed by the heavens can be avoided, but disasters committed by oneself cannot be avoided." Following a clear voice, Eldritch, who was dressed in a white robe, appeared in front of the eight people. He was less than three feet away from them.
"You're Eldritch?" Tian Qian pointed at Eldritch with one hand and asked sternly.
"I'm the one and only," Eldritch said with a smile as he stroked his long hair.
"We thought you wouldn't dare to show yourself," Di Kun said with a cold smile.
"I have to settle the two of them down first. Otherwise, it won't be good if we see blood and scare the children." Eldritch looked straight at Di Kun with a smile.
Eldritch's smile sent a chill down Di Kun's spine.
This chill spread from his tailbone all the way to his neck.
"Our debt is settled today," Tian Qian said, "Either you die today, or I live!"
"Either I die, or you live?" Eldritch said with a smile, "You don't sound like you have much of a choice."
"You …" Tian Qian was rendered speechless by Eldritch.
"The Eight Yin Yang Disciples and I have always walked our own paths. We've always minded our own business," Eldritch said with a smile, "Now, you're going against each other for a mere reputation. Don't you think you're making a mountain out of a molehill?"
"Eldritch!" Di Kun pointed at Eldritch and shouted sternly, "You've been tormenting living creatures in the name of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. Today, the Eight Yin Yang Disciples will get rid of you, you evil creature. If you kneel and beg for mercy, we'll leave your corpse intact. Otherwise, we'll tear you to pieces and not even your bones will be left!"
When he saw that Eldritch had exposed their intentions, he immediately pretended to be enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens.
"A man is harmless to the heart of a tiger, but a tiger harms the heart of a man. It seems that I have no choice but to kill today." Eldritch's voice began to turn cold.
Clang clang clang …
As soon as Eldritch said this, the Eight Yin Yang Disciples immediately drew their swords from their backs!
The eight swords shone like frost and snow. They flickered with a cold light and their sword auras were threatening!
These eight people had extremely high cultivations, so their swords were naturally extraordinary as well.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
After the Eight Yin Yang Disciples drew their swords, they immediately moved and surrounded Eldritch!
They knew that Eldritch's cultivation was extremely high, so they immediately used their signature technique — the Eight Yin Yang Extreme Formation!
"Eldritch, you're about to die. What else do you have to say?" Tian Qian pointed his sword at Eldritch and asked sternly!
