Chapter 1249: Chapter 1348: Abnormal Chapter 1249: Chapter 1348: Abnormal The golden monk’s bowl was held in the monk’s hand, his face showing a trace of relief. If he hadn’t brought this Buddhist relic with him, his odds of survival this time would have been slim indeed.

Just as he turned his gaze toward Fang Lin and the others on the ground, he felt the golden monk’s bowl in his hand tremble suddenly.

The monk in the golden robe was stunned, then his expression changed drastically.

Boom~~~

The golden monk’s bowl exploded in an instant, shattering into pieces. Such a Buddhist treasure was destroyed just like that.

The monk in the golden robe had no time to feel upset as he saw a dark shadow approaching, carrying a torrent of Demonic Qi that seemed capable of devouring heaven and earth.

The monk in the golden robe was at the end of his strength and utterly unable to block the Demon Puppet’s assault. He mustered all his might to unleash a Swastika Buddha Seal.

The Demon Puppet merely swung its sword, easily shattering the Swastika Buddha Seal before the black “Demon Sword” howled out, flying from the Demon Puppet’s hand.

“This is bad!” The monk in the golden robe was terrified, his earlier composure completely gone. When one’s life is on the line, what good is composure?

As the black “Demon Sword” struck, the monk in the golden robe fled desperately, seeking assistance from his peers across the Seven Seas while desperately defending himself.

Alas, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire. Moreover, the sword struck so swiftly and powerfully that the monk in the golden robe, in his current state, could not possibly escape.

Thud!

A sword thrust through the back of the monk in the golden robe, piercing him chillingly. His heart was pierced in an instant.

Yet, being a top-notch expert, even with his heart pierced, he wouldn’t die; he was merely injured.

The monk in the golden robe, enduring the pain, continued fleeing without looking back, not daring to glance behind even once.

The black longsword pierced out from inside the monk in the golden robe, striking again, offering him no quarter.

As the sword struck again, the monk in the golden robe still could not defend himself, his abdomen perforated and his innards about to spill out.

But just as the monk in the golden robe hung by a thread, a handsome and extraordinary youth appeared in the distant sky, wielding a longsword with a refined and handsome face.

The moment the handsome youth appeared, the monk in the golden robe seemed to have seen a savior. Covering his chest with one hand and his abdomen with the other, he hurriedly approached the handsome youth.

The Demon Puppet chased closely behind, the Demon Sword flying out again, ignoring the distant handsome youth and still aiming to strike the monk in the golden robe.

“Before me, you cannot kill anyone,” the handsome youth said indifferently, also drawing his sword.

Hum!

A majestic sword light emerged, filled with an air of righteousness and fierce energy, colliding fiercely with the Demon Puppet’s sword.

This clash thwarted the Demon Puppet’s offensive, leaving no more wounds on the monk in the golden robe, who seized the opportunity to flee for his life, quickly passing the handsome youth so fast that even his shadow had vanished.

The handsome youth glanced at the Demon Puppet and then at its sword, showing no intention to continue the fight, and turned to leave.

The Demon Puppet did not give chase, having been called back by Fang Lin.

“Let’s return to Qian Country first,” Fang Lin had his men collect the bodies of the two deceased Pill Alliance elders, and then the group set off back to Qian Country.

Despite the distance from Qian Country, the battle had caused immense unease among its people, who feared that Qian Country might suffer the same fate of destruction as Yun and Meng Countries had.

Fortunately, the flames of war did not spread to Qian Country, which allowed many of its citizens to breathe a sigh of relief, at least for the moment.

Upon returning to Qian Country, everyone began treating their injuries. They had all been hurt by the Buddhist monk’s roar, with none escaping light wounds–Fang Lin in particular suffered the most severe.

His cultivation was too low compared to Zhou Meng and the other Spirit Source experts. If it had been another Martial Artist at the seventh level of Spirit Bone instead, it’s likely they would have been killed by that roar.

After this battle, Fang Lin was filled with doubts and a sense of unease.

It was just an attack on the Lower Three Kingdoms, yet the Seven Seas had sent so many Spirit Source experts, not to mention a powerhouse like the monk in golden robes. What were they planning to do?

Moreover, the young man who rescued the monk in golden robes was able to block a strike from the Demon Puppet, which clearly showed that his strength was comparable to that of the monk.

Thus, it could be confirmed that at least two supreme powerhouses had arrived in the Lower Three Kingdoms, a situation that was highly abnormal.

An expert of the monk’s caliber being used to attack the Lower Three Kingdoms was overkill, a significant waste of resources.

Fang Lin speculated that the Seven Seas sending such powerful individuals to the Lower Three Kingdoms was probably not just to occupy the territory. They had been plotting to take over the Nine Countries for a long time and must have some unspeakable purpose.

Fang Lin had two prisoners at hand, planning to interrogate them once his injuries had slightly healed. He must learn some information from these two to avoid remaining completely in the dark, which was far too passive a stance to take.

After recovering a bit from his injuries, Fang Lin immediately contacted the Pill Alliance and informed the South Zodiac King about the events that had occurred.

The South Zodiac King was also taken aback upon hearing the news. The appearance of supreme experts from the Seven Seas in the Lower Three Kingdoms was truly unexpected.

The South Zodiac King immediately told Fang Lin that if the situation was beyond control, they should abandon Qian Country and return to the Ancient Pill Court.

However, Fang Lin hoped that the Pill Alliance could send reinforcements, but the South Zodiac King did not agree. The Alliance’s hands were tied as there were not many powerful reinforcements available to them at the moment.

The Pill Alliance had already committed to the full-scale war against the Nine Countries, and most of its powerhouses were within the borders of Tang Country.

As for those elites that the Pill Alliance could still deploy, they wouldn’t take action unless it was an absolute necessity because they needed to defend several crucial locations of the Alliance that could not be left unattended.

If these critical locations were lost, it would affect the foundation of the Pill Alliance, so the South Zodiac King could not dispatch aid to Qian Country.

Furthermore, in the eyes of the South Zodiac King, Qian Country had no significant strategic value worth staunchly defending; its loss would not hugely impact the overall situation.

However, the South Zodiac King also considered that such high-level experts appearing in the Lower Three Kingdoms likely had ulterior motives, not just for the conquest of the territories.

Therefore, the South Zodiac King immediately contacted Yuan Country, hoping they could dispatch powerhouses to Qian Country as reinforcements urgently.

Yuan Country responded, saying that they would send someone to the Lower Three Kingdoms, but when they would go and what kind of powerhouses they would send remained unknown.

In a secret chamber in Qian Country, Fang Lin looked at the two people in front of him with a contemplative expression.

These two were naturally the white-robed elder and the green-robed woman captured by the Demon Puppet. At this moment, all their cultivation was sealed, and after being fed Pills by Fang Lin, they were now completely drained of strength, no different than lambs awaiting slaughter.

“Tell me everything you know,” Fang Lin said.
