Chapter 182
Lin Feng felt a deep resentment. He found himself yet in another difficult situation again.
Although he was eager to leave the Jiuyan Sect, he couldn’t bear the thought of being treated as a bargaining chip, even as a Son of Destiny.
Jiang Chen wanted to speak out against it, but after glancing at Xiao Hongyi and others, he ultimately held his tongue.
This ascension puppet had to be monitored closely.
But now the problem was that everyone in the Jiuyan Sect was nearly insane.
If Lin Feng continued to stay, the ascension puppet would surely be ruined.
For his own grand plan, having Lin Feng develop in the Buddha Temple was indeed a good strategy.
After all, Lin Feng was already bound by the blood, and that blood slip was in Xiao Hongyi’s hands.
As long as the blood slip wasn’t destroyed, he could sense Lin Feng’s movements at any time, effectively keeping him under surveillance.
Of course, this decision couldn’t be made hastily. The situation still needed to be assessed.“I object!”
Suddenly, several delicate voices rang out.
It was Xiao Hongyi, Jiang Lianyue, and Qingning.
Xiao Hongyi’s phoenix fire blazed, her beautiful eyes filled with fierceness: “Although Lin Feng is not my disciple, he is a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect! He cannot be used for trade!”
“We’ve built quite a few thatched huts on the Ninth Peak recently, and Lin Feng, our junior brother, has yet to experience them,” Jiang Lianyue said with a cold laugh.
“I disagree too!” riding on Xiaobai, Qingning said with a serious face.
“Eldest Senior Brother said that only by keeping Lin Feng in the Jiuyan Sect can we torment him better! I still want to bury him alive!”
The words of the three women left everyone else speechless.
Especially Qingning’s. Was there a need to be so direct? Couldn’t she have been more tactful?
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was even more determined to leave the Jiuyan Sect, vowing never to set foot in it again in his lifetime!
Of course, no one would take the words of three madwomen seriously.
Xiao Ting looked directly at the Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple, waiting for his response.
The atmosphere once again grew silent.
The Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple thought that Xiao Ting was treating him like a fool.
Offer Lin Feng to the Buddha Temple?
Others might not know, but the Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple was very clear.
This time, with the fall of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor, the Jiuyan Sect had initiated a sect war to come here, but their purpose was not to save Lin Feng.
Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t have been ignored by everyone and even nearly lost his life.
But it couldn’t be denied that the proposal was indeed reasonable.
Among righteous sects, the act of snatching disciples from other sects was always looked down upon.
If they could take Lin Feng into the Buddhist Sect under the pretext of
‘compensation’, it would indeed be above reproach, and other righteous sects wouldn’t gossip behind their backs.
“Not enough.”
The Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple shook his head, “In addition to offering Lin Feng to the Buddha Temple, you must also leave behind the Jade Water Glazed Dome Realm! Otherwise, stay here today!”
“Do you wish for mutual destruction?” Xiao Ting’s expression darkened.
“Amitabha, mutual destruction?”
The Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple shook his head with his smile fading as he spoke: “With the fall of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor, everyone will think that my Buddha Temple can be easily bullied if the Jiuyan Sect doesn’t pay a price today!”
With the knowledge of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s demise, the Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple was brimming with confidence, speaking more directly and aggressively than before.
This was not surprising. After all, the Buddha Temple suffered great losses this time, and not long ago, many elders and disciples of the Jiuyan Sect ridiculed him to his face for not taking action.
Now that the situation had reversed, it was natural to seek retribution.
As always, for the Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple, face was important.
As for Xiao Ting, he chose not to say more after seeing through the Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple’s intentions.
The sect’s divine instrument was not for trade. Otherwise, he would have no face to meet the Jiuyan Old Ancestor even after death.
The only option left was to fight!
“Jiuyan Sect members, heed my command, retreat to the sect and activate the grand sect formation!” Xiao Ting’s body slowly rose into the air, his words echoing in the minds of every Jiuyan Sect member.
With that, accompanied by a roar, his body grew taller, quickly matching the size of the Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple’s golden body.
This was the Divine Passage realm’s manifestation of heaven and earth.
It was a kind of Divine Passage that could greatly enhance combat power.
The reason why the Buddha Temple’s Six Prisons were so formidable was that the Old Ancestor of the Demon Suppression Palace had fallen while maintaining his manifestation of heaven and earth, and its power persisted even after hundreds of years.
A great battle was about to begin again.
Xiao Ting beckoned with his hand. Then, a black-framed, jade-green Dome Realm turned into a streak of light floating beside him.
This was the Jiuyan Sect’s treasure, the Jade Water Glazed Dome Realm!
The other eleven Supreme Elders then focused on the remaining three ascetic monks.
Among these three ascetic monks, one was of the Divine Passage realm.
If it were one-on-one, none of them could match this Divine Passage realm opponent.
Fortunately, under Xiao Ting’s command earlier, this Divine Passage realm monk had already expended a great deal of spiritual energy.
If they continued to use tactics like ganging up or relay fighting, they could delay time.
“Jiuyan Sect disciples, retreat quickly!”
The eleven Supreme Elders shouted in unison.
“Amitabha,” the Old Ancestor of Buddha Temple murmured while moving the prayer beads in his hand.
“The Jiuyan Sect is filled with too much malice, and demons have arisen in their hearts. It’s not too late to lay down the butcher’s knife and repent!”
Responding to him was the sound of the azure sea’s waves.
Xiao Ting knew that he was no match for Buddha Old Ancestor in a head-on confrontation, so while Buddha Old Ancestor was speaking, he channeled a ray of spiritual light into the Dome Realm.
The surface of the Dome Realm rippled like water, and a seven-colored divine light shot out, heading straight for the golden head of Buddha Old Ancestor.
“My Buddha is merciful.”
Seeing the divine light approaching, Buddha Old Ancestor remained calm and simply increased the speed at which he rotated his prayer beads.
Suddenly, Buddha’s light poured down from the heavens.
Above his head, the Buddha’s light shone like a brilliant sun, with thousands of seven-colored sword beams instantly filling the sky for miles.
“Stop!”
Buddha Old Ancestor uttered a true word.
The true word summoned divine might, and an indescribable Buddhist charm emerged around him.
At the sound, heaven and earth suddenly came to a standstill!
The divine light emitted by the Dome Realm eerily froze in place.
The eleven Supreme Elders of the Jiuyan Sect stood still in shock, and the ordinary disciples who were preparing to evacuate were also motionless as if they had lost their souls.
The entire world seemed like a painting that had suddenly fallen into stillness.
Only the people of Buddha Temple and Xiao Ting were unaffected.
“Words follow the law…” Xiao Ting’s expression was extremely grave.
He had always known that the Nirvana realm was far beyond the Divine Passage realm, but he had not expected Buddha Old Ancestor to have reached the realm where words could manifest reality.
Because this was a power that could only be mastered in the later stages of the Nirvana realm!
“Xiao Ting!” Buddha Old Ancestor’s eyes snapped open, and he suddenly shouted.
“The Buddha is before you, why do you not kneel?!”
The Buddha?
Hearing this, Xiao Ting felt a wave of dizziness in his brain.
In a daze, the Buddha Old Ancestor in front of him seemed like the Buddha seated high on a lotus throne, awe-inspiring and fearsome.
Under an instinctive fear, his knees uncontrollably bent, ready to bow in worship!
Xiao Ting immediately bit his tongue, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He straightened his body, took a big step forward, and his huge fist went straight for Buddha Old Ancestor’s head.
“In my life, I, Xiao Ting, only kneel to the Old Ancestor of the Xiao family!!”
“Boom!”
The fist struck the Buddha’s light.
Even though Xiao Ting had given it his all, he couldn’t even shatter the protective Buddha’s light around Buddha Old Ancestor!
With another loud shout, Xiao Ting threw dozens more punches.
Each punch was stronger than the last, but still, he could not shake the Buddha’s light at all!
From beginning to end, Buddha Old Ancestor’s face was as calm as an ancient well, his indifferent gaze as if he were watching an ant struggle.
The difference in their strength was as vast as a chasm that could not be crossed.
“All beings are equal before the Buddha, but the Jiuyan Sect has been influenced by Jiang Chen and has fallen into the demonic path! Will you not admit your guilt and accept punishment?!” Buddha Old Ancestor said again.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting’s heart filled with a sense of guilt, and as he gave a bitter smile, a sense of despair welling up within him.
Suddenly, a towering figure like an iron tower rushed from afar, leaped up, and punched Buddha Old Ancestor in the back of the head accompanied by a roar.
“Ancient Fist First Form: Open the Heavens!”
Buddha Old Ancestor felt as if a mosquito had bitten the back of his head.
