Chapter 457: Perfect Golden Buddha

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You’re saying that although your master was defeated by the Thousand-Year Tree Demon because he has reached the ‘Unbreakable Golden Body’ stage, the demon could only trap him but not kill him for the time being.

“So he sent you out with his staff and told you to get help from the Buddhist master that was protected by a dragon in Guobei County.”

In the backyard of the Guobei County Government, Guo’s seven wives were crying as they prepared his funeral.

In the main hall, Ji Ye was talking to Shi Fang, the young handsome monk. His white Buddhist robe was covered with dirt, and there were scratches all over his skin.

“Aye!

“Please help my master!”

The young monk seemed anxious and full of guilt.

“Although that Tree Demon is a thousand years old, I can tell from the Buddha Light Talisman your master gave me that he’s a great expert in using Buddhist power. How could that Tree Demon win?” Nie Xiaoqian asked in bewilderment.

Her memory came from the Battlefield of Providence, which was when Granny Tree Demon was still an Extraordinary Rank-4 monster.

Although she knew that the real Granny Tree Demon would be more powerful, she didn’t expect her to be as powerful as this.

Nie Xiaoqian was concerned mostly because she was worried that Ji Ye would run into danger in Lanruo Temple.

She knew that Ji Ye would definitely kill Granny Tree Demon to “avenge” her.

“It was all my fault. I broke the Golden Buddha of our sect. Otherwise, my master would have easily defeated that Tree Demon.”

Shi Fang looked crestfallen as he took a Golden Buddha statue about 30m long out of his robe. It had broken in halves.

“Well, that’s a nice-looking Buddha.

“Little monk, give it to me. I promise that I’ll help you save your master!”

Zhiqiu Yiye’s eyes lit up when he saw the two chunks of gold.

“May I have a look?”

Ji Ye’s eyes also lit up.

He was interested in the Golden Buddha.

Because in the original plot, the Golden Buddha wasn’t put into use, but from the conversation between the two monks, one could deduce that it contained some formidable power!

“Of course. I’ve brought it here so that the Buddha can be repaired. We’ll need its power to save my master.”

Shi Fang immediately handed the broken Golden Buddha to Ji Ye.

[Golden Buddha (Broken)]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[Description: This Golden Buddha could enhance Buddhist power. It contains the Buddhist enlightenment of the eminent monks in the Daguo Temple and could help someone with Buddhist understanding comprehend a Buddist skill. It is very likely to be an Extraordinary one but has some probability to be a Transcendent one.]

“Was that Thousand-Year Tree Demon injured?”

Having learned the Golden Buddha’s characteristics, Ji Ye had an idea.

He asked Shi Fang, who was still kneeling on the ground.

“My master detonated the Mara-tarjana Bowl and the Jade Buddha Bead to injure the demon, but over a dozen benefactors were trapped in Lanruo Temple by the ghosts, and I’m afraid that the Tree Demon has drained their blood and replenished her energy a little.

Shi Fang nodded first before shaking his head.

“Hey, are you really going to mess with the Tree Demon?”

Hearing Ji Ye’s question, Zhiqiu Yiye couldn’t help asking.

“If we don’t get rid of this thousand-year-old monster, the chamber of commerce won’t be able to transport the provisions to Guobei County safely,” said Wuxin.

“Hey, don’t mind me saying this, but you had other agendas when you came to Guobei County to recruit guards, didn’t you?”

The look on Zhiqiu’s face became a little serious.

“I don’t think that you’re a chamber of commerce.

“From what I saw in the battle, you’re all good enough to get away safely from monsters or bandits.”

Zhiqiu might not be the most careful man in the room, but he wasn’t foolish.

The capability Dragon City showed in the battle made people suspicious because all members of this chamber of commerce were capable fighters.

Not only could they fight back a bunch of flying yakshas, but they also had a Buddhist dharma dragon, which they used to kill a yaksha king.

That just didn’t make sense.

A chamber of commerce that hired such a security team would never be able to earn enough to cover the cost.

“Well...”

Wuxin was a little speechless.

He didn’t expect that Zhiqiu Yiye would speak his mind.

“That’s right. We’re not a chamber of commerce.

“We’re from a human settlement called Dragon City.”

Holding the Golden Buddha, Ji Ye wasn’t going to keep their identity a secret anymore.

...

“What? Are you saying that this is a place like an immortal world, and we humans have to fight against those monsters for ‘providence’?

“And those yakshas come from a yaksha settlement. There are even more monster settlements around Guobei County!

A few minutes later, Zhiqiu and the young monk asked in bewilderment, “Are you really not lying to me?”

“Do you know who Commander Dian is?”

Wuxin pointed at Dian Wei.

“The layman here has a body like steel and energy as ample as a great river. He has sinned, but he never killed anyone that didn’t deserve it. He should be a great general. Are you working for the government?” Shi Fang asked before Zhiqiu could speak.

He hadn’t even reached Extraordinary Rank-5 yet, but he had sharp eyes.

“He doesn’t work for the current government. He’s General Dian Wei, the unmatched warrior of the Three Kingdoms era!” said Wuxin.

“Dian Wei? As in Dian Wei of Chenliu?!” someone cried out.

Unlike Shi Fang, who had stayed in the temple all the time, Zhiqiu knew some famous historical figures.

“We also have people like Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, and Li Chunfeng in Dragon City!

“If you don’t believe it, after we solve the crisis Guobei County is facing, you can come back to Dragon City with us. You’ll see.”

Wuxin didn’t try to explain too much.

Because he knew that with Zhiqiu’s love for gold, even if he had doubts now, once he arrived at Dragon City and saw the gold in the settlement, he would say yes without any hesitation.

As for Shi Fang, since Ji Ye was going to save his master, he would definitely follow Ji Ye.

Although he wasn’t the most reliable pupil, he was still one of the main characters. His fame determined that he had some potential.

“Today’s battle was very energy-consuming, and these monsters work better at night.

“I’ll repair this golden Budhha first, and we’ll wait until sunrise to save your master!”

Ji Ye didn’t head for Lanruo Temple immediately to save the old monk.

After all, according to Shi Fang, although Granny Tree Demon was injured, she hadn’t lost her ability.

More importantly, Lanruo Temple was her territory.

After Shi Fang fled to Guobei County and the sky was lit up by the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Granny Tree Demon would definitely make plans for that.

Moreover, the monsters preferred night, which wasn’t a good time for humans.

Tonight, they had met the attack at a short notice.

Compared with Tree Demon, whom he had already defeated once in the Battlefield of Providence, Ji Ye was more interested in fusing the Golden Buddha, which had a chance to provide him with a Buddhist Transcendent skill!
