Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1114 - 695: Don’t Come Out!

Chapter 1114: Chapter 695: Don’t Come Out!

Great Nan Continent, Golden Light Prefecture City.

On the bustling long streets, the ascetic monks of the Bodhi Sect, dressed in ragged clothes, revealing their thin arms, no longer needed to beg for Emperor’s Aura from door to door like they once did.

In the territories ruled by the Divine Dynasty, cultivators and common folks lived together in harmony.

But now, the monks no longer need to take the initiative themselves, as the citizens have spontaneously elevated their status, with many wealthy merchants planning to pool money together to discuss with the Government Office about building a magnificent temple at the most conspicuous spot in the city to express the common folk’s gratitude towards the old monk.

Such simple emotions even the Government Office couldn’t suppress.

...

Wushan raised his hand to halt the entourage of court officials and walked alone to the city gates, looking up at the imposing skeletal frame before him.

He remained silent for a long time, his eyes fixed on the old monk’s battered face.

If a Great Arhat couldn’t heal such a minor injury, the Bodhi Sect should have perished long ago.

"How long do you plan to sit here?"

Wushan, unwilling to continue the pretense, directly asked.

The old monk still sat cross-legged, eyes closed, bone-pale hands spread out, only the statue of the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva shining brilliantly.

Beneath him, another young monk, carrying a stick in one hand, stepped out slowly, raised his right palm towards Wushan, and greeted: "Junior Monk Hui Xin, Lord Court Official, we meet again."

After the gesture, Hui Xin Monk slowly raised his head, his face stained and grimy, bearing a seemingly gentle smile but his eyes flickered with mockery.

Last time outside the Demon Suppressing Tower, it was this person who had stopped him and his master.

How imposing the other was then, nothing like now, so gentle and soft-spoken.

However, Wushan paid no heed to this young monk, a mere Fifth Grade Arhat, easily suppressed with a flip of his palm, hardly qualified to discuss matters in the presence of a Taiyin True Immortal.

He continued to stare calmly at the old monk, and asked again: "How much longer will you sit?"

Hui Xin felt slighted, his eyelids twitched and his expression darkened.

He was about to mockingly retort, but then he heard creaking bone sounds behind him, and turning his head, saw the old Monk sitting up straighter, finally opening his eyes.

His voice was hoarse but inexplicably conveyed warmth: "I will sit until the demons no longer attack, until the common people are no longer anxious."

After speaking, the old monk’s blood-stained lips slightly curled into a smile; his wide eyes dark and deep, like a quiet spring, engulfing Wushan entirely.

"Interesting."

Wushan thoughtfully tapped his chin, licked his dry lips.

It’s easy to build a temple, but hard to destroy one.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with fierce light: "Your Bodhi Sect is becoming increasingly presumptuous."

The old monk’s actions, aside from being disgusting, could also be seen as a warning.

If they could bring the Demon Group quietly to the outskirts, they could certainly bring them into the city.

The Imperial Court only needed to back down once, establishing a Buddhist temple in Golden Light Prefecture, then the monks could bring demons into other prefectures without temples.

Where there’s Buddha’s blessing, the living beings are calm, where no temples stand, the sentient beings suffer.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence knew Wushan couldn’t just watch this unfold, but the other side still pretended to be oblivious; this was clearly an invitation to a life-or-death struggle.

In front of the populace of Golden Light Prefecture, slaughtering all the wandering monks, even if public resentment surged, it was limited to one prefecture area.

Moreover, after acting, they could use the Imperial Court’s name to label Wushan as an Evil Demon, thus solidifying the Emperor’s Aura.

To counter such treacherous techniques, one could only use treachery in return.

"The old monk does not understand what the Lord is saying."

The old monk, looking at Wushan’s gradually clenched fists, remained composed as ever, casually glancing at the secretly arranged military formations outside the city: "Of course leaving is possible, but now that I am seriously injured and have offended the Demon Group, how can I return to the sect."

Upon hearing this, Hui Xin let out a cold laugh.

The master and disciple didn’t receive the Bodhisattva’s Imperial Edict to come here to the Divine Dynasty Prefecture City for a desperate showdown with Wushan.

This place is suppressed by the Human Emperor Qi and surrounded by the Imperial Court’s armed forces, with numerous strong figures from the Divine Dynasty hidden in the backdrop, didn’t the previous Seven Treasures Bodhisattva nearly perish at He Mountain, let alone deeper in the Prefecture City.

Their purpose was quite simple.

Firstly, the Bodhisattva was injured in West Mountain Prefecture and urgently needed a considerable amount of Human Emperor Qi to recuperate, only then Wushan was considered; as for controlling a whole prefecture by establishing a temple, just two Arhats appearing wouldn’t suffice.

"I understand."

Wushan, recognizing the implication behind these thinly veiled words, clearly aimed at him.

He closed his eyes, exhaled a breath of cloudy air, and relaxed his hands: "I shall escort you back."

"Lord Court Official has thought this through?"

The old monk gradually withdrew his smile, meaningfully said: "The outside terrain is treacherous and the journey arduous."

"Whether it’s arduous or not, only by walking can one know."

Wushan calmly responded, his expression revealing a trace of ferocity.

In the next moment, he swiftly pressed his palm down.

The court officials, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately gave orders, like a tidal wave the military formation surged neatly from all directions, Emperor’s Aura moving along, completely taking over the city defense.

Following that, Wushan’s aura soared, illuminating the entire Prefecture City, showcasing the might of a Fourth Grade Taiyi True Immortal!

Simultaneously, a deep resonant sound echoed from the Government Office.
