I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1254 - Chapter 1254 Chapter 546 Human Allegiance

Chapter 1254: Chapter 546: Human Allegiance Chapter 1254: Chapter 546: Human Allegiance But as he listened, things became increasingly strange. The fact that the Corpse Monk had thanked Yanshan was already astonishing to these Heavenly assassins.

Now, did the monk actually want them to find the source of the plague?

Did this fellow even know what kind of people the Ancient Blood Tower harbored?

The Heavenly assassin known as “Broken Sun” couldn’t stand it anymore. He flipped over and sat on the wall of the Tianyuan Martial Arts Academy, mocking Yanshan from above the training grounds, “Little monk, do you know who the assassins of the Blood Tower are, that you expect them to find the source of the plague and save the entire city? Have you ever seen assassins play the hero?”

Laughter burst out from beyond the wall, everyone finding Broken Sun’s remarks amusing, but Yanshan didn’t see it that way. He simply turned around, slightly raising his head to look into Broken Sun’s eyes and said earnestly, “A heartbroken man with no home to return to, being an assassin is not all you are.”

The few Heavenly assassins outside the wall went into fits of uncontrollable laughter upon hearing Yanshan’s words, thinking it ridiculous that the monk had described the cold-blooded Broken Sun as a heartbroken man with no home?

He would certainly be nailed to the wall with a dagger by Broken Sun and then bleed out and die.

With a sense of schadenfreude, several Heavenly assassins leapt up onto the wall, eager to witness the monk’s miserable condition.

Unexpectedly, the monk, who was as handsome as a celestial being with skin clear as glass, was unharmed. Instead, it was Broken Sun, who had been mocked as a heartbroken homeless man, whose face went from blue to red, grinding his teeth as if someone had pierced his heart.

“Nonsense!”

Broken Sun forced these words out through clenched teeth, coldly told the little monk, “Don’t think that just because you’ve learned a bit of ‘mind reading’ you can say whatever you wish. If it weren’t for our boss’s sake, you would be dead by now!”

“I won’t allow you to hurt this darling little treasure.”

Leaning against the wall, the assassin known as “Poisonous Lady,” who wore a semi-transparent robe, heard Broken Sun’s words and threw a flirtatious glance at Yanshan. “Such a handsome young man, it’s my first time seeing one like him. If you dare to hurt him, I’ll see to it that you rot from all orifices and die.”

“Hmph!” Broken Sun snorted, crossed his arms over his chest, and turned his head away, as if not wanting to argue with a woman and possibly also fearing the curse might come true.

“Hee hee, the little monk is really handsome!”

The flirty woman’s gaze remained fixed on Yanshan, her cheeks growing redder as she said softly, “My heart suddenly hurts a little, could the young master help me rub it?”

“You really have some nerve, you slut.”

On the eastern side of the wall, the assassin coded “Demon Eye,” sneeringly looked at the woman trying to seduce Yanshan and said, “The most outstanding disciple of the Wuxiang Zen Temple in five hundred years, with a wisdom and talent surpassing Yankong by three parts, you dare to touch such a person? Believe it or not, before the four Buddha Lords and the eight Divine Protectors could act, just the five hundred golden-bodied Arhats alone could reduce you to ashes and dust, and not even the Tower Master could save you.”

Listening to Yanshan’s background, the Poisonous Lady restrained her amorous expression, but her eyes, still dripping with desire, refused to shift from Yanshan, stubbornly said, “Monks can leave their orders too if they truly love each other, nothing is insurmountable. If the young master is willing, I…I would willingly be a ghost for him!”

“Tsk, this bitch is beyond saving!”

The man with cross-shaped pupils told Gu Han, “Boss, better lock up this bitch first. If she ruins the little monk Yanshan’s cultivation, those old monks at the Wuxiang Zen Temple definitely won’t let us off.”

“Enough!”

Gu Han watched the scene grow increasingly chaotic and, supporting his forehead, said, “You all have heard, right? An epidemic that will engulf the entire city is about to break out. Chaochang is not only Master Ji’s ancestral home and maternal clan, but also a crucial point for future strategic deployment. If this epidemic breaks out, Master Ji will have no home to return to, so we need to find the source of the epidemic, understand?”

As he raised his voice, the celestial-grade assassins on the wall all shuddered, knowing that their protector had set his heart on helping the young monk. Although celestial-grade assassins are free to come and go, their deep-rooted friendship with Gu Han meant they owed him more than just one or two lives. At this critical moment, naturally, none would be petulant; they all complied.

Watching this group of unruly celestial-grade assassins submit, Gu Han nodded in relief. He was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, turning toward the east.

At some point, a man dressed in a Star Robe and wearing a Gou Chen Mask had nonchalantly appeared there, yet no one had noticed him.

Trouble!

Corpse Monk Gu Han quietly transmitted to Yanshan, “Master, please move behind me first. The comer is Devil Lord Gou Chen; he might mean you harm.”

To outsiders, Devil Lord Gou Chen and the sacred lands were notoriously antagonistic. The battle upon his descent had devastated the Feitian Sect, wounded Victorious Venerable Liaoyin, and had cut off a pilgrimage route to Buddha’s Country.

If this person realized that the one before him was Yanshan, the Buddha Son of Wuxiang Zen Temple, he would definitely strike boldly, with the immense power of the Blood River Divine Sword. Gu Han did not feel he could perfectly intercept it, so naturally, he urged Yanshan to stay behind him.

But Yanshan clearly did not share this awareness. Looking up at the man in the Star Robe and mask in the sky, he showed no sign of nervousness but instead asked with interest, “So you are the renowned Gou Chen?”

“Ah.” Tang Luo floated down and bowed with his hands clasped, “It’s merely a modest reputation, all thanks to the overvaluation by peers in the martial world, nothing significant.”

“Little monk extends gratitude on behalf of the citizens of Vimazhita from Mr. Gou Chen.”

Yanshan smiled, knelt on the ground, and gave Tang Luo a grand kowtow, shocking everyone around him, even Gu Han who couldn’t intervene in time.

“Master, what are you doing?”

Yanshan, who owed his life to Tang Luo, believed that with his current disguise, he couldn’t have deceived Tang Luo’s eyes. Knowing his identity yet choosing to humble himself, what was he implying?

“I am merely pleased.”

Standing up, but still spotless, Yanshan beamed a bright smile, showing his neat, white teeth, “I am overjoyed that someone has finally walked the true path of Zen, liberating the citizens of Vimazhita. Although sir does not practice Zen, your actions embody the spirit of ancient sages and align with the essence of Zen.”

Why he was pleased was naturally because he was glad he hadn’t saved the wrong person. To many, destroying the Feitian Sect seemed like a slap in the face to the Zen teachings.

But a closer look would reveal that even the most angered Esoteric Sect only sent out their mighty Vajra Masters because they needed to vent on behalf of Victorious Venerable Liaoyin.

Was there any faction in Buddha’s Country calling for the rebuilding of the Feitian Sect or seeking revenge for it?

Human sentiments have always swayed with the times. Initially, the pilgrimage route was tolerated by Buddha’s Country despite the Feitian Clan’s behavior, simply because it could eradicate demonic thoughts from disciples’ minds.

But Devil Lord Gou Chen’s destruction of the Feitian broke this difficult choice, and upon hearing the news of the sect’s fall, many great monks and virtuous figures acknowledged and were grateful for Devil Lord’s deeds, among them Yanshan.
