The Immortal's Poison

Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Killing The Buddha

Miles upon miles of the vault of heaven abruptly exploded with golden-colored radiance!

Cloudless, sunless and even dayless, there was nothing but a streak of golden road that extended to the edge of the sky while graceful incantations and the Immortal’s music interweaved into the heart-calming and evil-fearing Heaven’s incantation. The incantation gently soothed the fear at the bottom of everyone’s heart while also concealing the tyrannical wailing of the Weeping Buddha. The two demon rabbits Bu Le and Shan Duan had put their hands together devoutly, their gaze was devoted as they softly chanted, “Fearlessness in asserting one’s own perfect realization, fearlessness in asserting one’s own perfect abandonment, fearlessness for the sake of others in revealing the path to liberation, fearlessness for the sake of others in revealing potential hindrances on the path, the school of Buddhism is an illusion, we summon the deeds and virtues of the Buddha.”

Swords started raining down from the sky as countess magical weapons were rendered useless the moment the Weeping Buddha suddenly raised its head and looked at the dazzling golden light on top of its head. All of a sudden, it became irritated and one of its huge hands struggled with all its might to try to detach the golden Buddha behind the little stuttering divine monk.

The little stutterer Hope Voice that had just returned a smile immediately wore a distressed expression. He was of one heart and one soul with the golden Buddha statue behind him and the both of them swayed precariously from left to right.

The spell which had been cast by Bu Le and Shan Duan was different from the usual. In the past, whenever they cast their spells they used their thousands years’ worth of cultivation base to gather all kinds of Buddha’s divine power in order to expand the great power of the Buddhism Sect’s supernatural powers. This time, however, they had not used the cultivation base of their own bodies but depended on the Buddha’s principles based on the four fearlessness qualities of the Buddha. They gathered all kinds of karmic power from living beings and combined it with the deeds and virtues of the twenty-eight Buddhas in the Heaven, summoning the golden manifestation of Shikhandini from the Mahabharata’s spell that could aid their mission to vanquish the demon.

In the past, they had created their own Buddha but this time they used the Buddha’s own qualities of fearlessness to summon the spiritual vitality of heaven and the earth to form the Buddha!

Whether the enemy was an evil spirit or a cultivator from the righteous or evil path of cultivation, these two demon rabbits would rather break their throats than to launch the spiritual vitality of the heaven and earth in order to mold the golden manifestation of the Buddha’s body. However, since the enemy that approached them was the Weeping Buddha, a vile spawn which had been transformed from the malevolent energy within heaven and the earth, it was strictly related to the matters of the heaven and the earth so these two demon rabbits completed the guidance process with their indifferent and firm hearts. They awakened the Buddhism Sect’s thousand years’ worth of worship to guide and combine with the power of meditation.

However, a long period was needed for the guidance process. If it had not been for the protective spells of the other master cultivators, the two demon rabbits would soon be slapped and flattened to the ground by the Weeping Buddha.

The moment the guidance process was completed, the power of meditation between heaven and the earth coagulated. Both demon rabbit’s faces were so pale that they almost turned transparent. They continued to grit hard on their teeth as they walked in quick strides to Hope Voice’s side. They then stood on either side of Hope Voice as they each stretched out a hand and held on hard onto Hope Voice’s shoulders.

Along the golden path in the sky, a kind and compassion-looking fairy maiden floated down with a smile. Her left hand twiddled with a string of Cintamani beads while her right hand was gesturing the Fearless Hand Seal. An exceedingly fancy sacred mountain appeared hazily behind her and five-colored auspicious clouds floated around the peak of the mountain. There was a six-tusked white elephant on the cloud, it was using its trunk to stir an Agate Aquarius Precious Bottle Bead mischievously!

The moment the fairy maiden Shikhandini appeared, the Weeping Buddha once again raised its head and looked up to the sky. Its weeping eyes were like a blade as it vigorously focused its sharpened vision and shot it the fairy maiden Shikhandini!

Earlier, First Brother Xia of the One Word Palace had suffered great injuries after he had been struck by the Weeping Buddha’s eye blade.

The fairy maiden Shikhandini remained unaffected, her right hand turned around in the Fearless Hand Seal and waved gently. Suddenly, the Weeping Buddha screamed out in agony as its weeping eyes were turned into a pair of black pits. The moment the weeping eyes vanished, its weeping expression too immediately disappeared. The gigantic bronze Buddha statue suddenly halted all its movements, and stood rigidly on the same spot without moving!

The fairy maiden Shikhandini floated in the sky and was smiling sweetly as she looked down at the bronze Buddha statue.

The little stutterer Hope Voice exhaled a long breath before he gently relaxed his grasp. He took a few steps back and the golden light Buddha statue behind him was like a mist in the twilight as it gently dispersed into formlessness. After the spell has dissipated, Hope Voice’s eyes rolled back as he fell into Shan Duan’s arms, he had passed out from exhaustion.

Wen Leyang, Mumu, and the rest of the nineteen victims have since been sent to a relatively safe place by the people of Death Trademark. Wen Leyang stared in bewilderment towards the soaring huge bronze Buddha statue that was standing rigidly, “So...it’s done?”

In the beginning, the battle had been fought until the sky was falling and the earth had opened up. The master cultivators of the Five Blessings each displayed their supernatural powers and the whistling sound of the treasured weapons’ sonic boom, the cries of agony and the cultivators’ yells interweaved altogether into a magnificent and heroic montage. Everyone greatly anticipated the finale and it was over just like that?

Wen Leyang felt extremely dejected. It was like he had just watched a movie where a hero had risked his life to fight the strong enemy until that the hero had burst all the blood vessels within his body before finally winning the battle. The hero then posed in his victory stance and all the spectators could feel that he was about to spit a mouthful of blood into the sky as he shouted in a voice that startled the universe and moved the gods, “Who else but I can do it?” At last, they watched as the hero did not spit out a mouthful of warm blood from his awe-inspiring shout but spat out his tonsil instead.

The jade knife Guo Huan chimed in with determination, “It’s almost done, only the final part here is worth seeing! The weeping-face baldy’s life vitality was all in his eyes. The moment his eyes were destroyed, so was everything else.” Guo Huan had never seen a monk before in his life so he was not able to differentiate between a monk and a baldy’s substantial qualities.

Wen Leyang was slightly defiant, “I almost shattered the Weeping Buddha’s face with a shot earlier!”

Guo Huan laughed in contempt, “That person there used supernatural powers to destroy the baldy’s life vitality, it’s a completely different matter from your Thunder Heart Sand! But that little demon rabbit had not even exerted much of his strength...”

Suddenly, a sorrowful howl was heard!

The bronze Buddha stood rigidly for a moment before it suddenly stamped its foot and screamed out in agony. It was no longer a wail but more like a sad and shrill cry! Both of its huge, crippled hands kept scratching madly on its body while shrieked repeatedly. Its gigantic body suddenly tumbled to the ground with a loud thud. The bronze Buddha continued to toss and turn repeatedly until the open ground in front of the Wen family village was flattened.

As it tossed and turned, the bronze Buddha’s body started to crack. It trembled vigorously as its body, which was as hard as iron, cracked open in layers releasing a foul-smelling stench. Chunks of its flesh dropped out and rapidly dissolved into a ghastly pale fluid that seeped into the ground. At last, with a rumbling noise, something fell out from the cracked bronze Buddha statue. It was an old man who was so skinny that his skin hugged his bones! The Great Mercy Temple’s monks immediately gathered forward and used all sort of Buddhist spells to seal the old man’s body. The old and little demon rabbits examined the body closely before ascertaining that the old man no longer had an ounce of vitality force in him and that he was close to death. Only then did they heave a long sigh of relief.

The fairy maiden Shikhandini in the sky then floated and dispersed off.

The little supreme leader of Kunlun’s Taoist Sect, Liu Zheng, returned with the rest of the long swords back to Kunlun Mountain. He stomped his foot in heartache as he surveyed the remnants of the destroyed swords which were scattered all over the ground. First Brother Xia and his daughter from the One Word Palace had been injured rather severely but their lives were not at stake. The other important persons of the other sects too were fine.

Even though the old monk Bu Le had exposed his supernatural power, the Great Mercy Temple itself acted as if nothing had happened, so the other sects were reluctant to inquire directly as well.

As for the origins of the Weeping Buddha’s demon monk, the little demon rabbit Shan Duan laughed as he shook his head, “Where this evildoer demon has come from, this monk does not know. My guess is that those unorthodox doctrines realized that the Five Blessings were gathered here so they had cast their black magic spell to send that immortal demon here! This monk hopes that all the immortal seniors will pay more attention and help us find the culprit behind all this soon so we can avenge those innocents who had lost their lives today!”

Of course, no one believes in such fictitious words but it was the Great Mercy Temple that had cast the supernatural power that destroyed the demon. The Great Mercy Temple was also the one that had managed to hold the evildoer captive so they had no other choice but to believe.

The people of Jilong Taoist Sect and Eyangshan Taoist Sect did not wish to remain on the mountain any longer and once the Weeping Buddha had fallen, they descended the mountain and left.

The little supreme leader of Kunlun Taoist Sect, Liu Zheng, was pestering the little demon rabbit, Shan Duan. He inquired this and that with a mischievous expression while Shan Duan only laughed persistently. The both of them were tormenting one another without result until finally Liu Zheng was left with no recourse so he brought his disciples and descended the mountain.

First Brother Xia of the One Word Palace found Grand Elder Wen with a solemn expression on his face, “Sir, a certain person of the surname Xia has a presumptuous request. I still have some matters to attend to, the little girl Nineteen was injured rather severely so she cannot come along with me. One Word Palace is in the midst of an important matter so can I please leave her with you?”

Both the outstanding cultivators of the Luo family laughed treacherously, “No matter what, the girl Nineteen really did save that girl Wangfu. I think you should let us bring her back to Crow Ridge, we will guarantee that her journey will be comfortable all the way without any bumps...”

First Brother Xia’s big face was tinted with awkwardness, “So...”

Nineteen, on the other hand, asked the outstanding cultivators of the Luo family in puzzlement, “Wangfu?” Mumu was spitting blood from her severe injuries yet it did not stop her from stomping her foot continuously in rage. Ah Dan too imitated her as he stomped his foot cheekily.

Grand Elder Wen chuckled and he waved his hand at the two outstanding cultivators of the Luo family, “I think she is better off staying on Nine Peaks Mountain!”

Nineteen had managed to block the Weeping Buddha at a crucial moment. Her treasured weapon long spear was snapped into two and destroyed resulting in her severe injuries. Anyhow, she had helped the people of the Wen family. As the three families of Wen, Miao, and Luo were all the same, even though they were mean and domineering when dealing with their enemy, they would definitely repay the debts of favors with kindness.

Moreover, based on Grand Elder Wen’s temperament, there was an advantage for Nineteen to stay with them, for he wanted to find out what was the One Word Palace was trying to scheme from the disciples of the Wen Bucao.

First Brother Xia roared with laughter. He then continued the discussion courteously for a while before he too brought his people along as he left the mountain.

What was more surprising to Wen Leyang was that after the leaders of the four sects had descended the mountain on short notice, the little demon rabbit Shan Duan too immediately brought the group of monks from the Great Mercy Temple to bid farewell and descend the mountain. They did not even pause for a moment and left only the old demon rabbit Bu Le in the village.

Some of the rogue cultivators had dispersed, while the injured ones or those who wished to stay to witness the scene of the bustle remained in the village. The people of Wen family honored the guests with good meat and good drink. After all, these people had come to the mountain to boost the morale of Wen Bucao’s disciples so they ought to be treated cordially afterward.

The Five Blessings of the world had gathered together in the Wen family. It had been an extremely rare occurrence of a great event in the righteous path of the cultivation world. From dawn to dusk, in just a few short days, the master cultivators of the Five Blessings had taken to appear on the scene as they each displayed their supernatural powers. The Jilong Taoist Sect with the highest kill count in the Five Blessings had even suffered a disastrous defeat on this unknown Nine Peaks Mountain – their garrison’s treasured weapons were snatched away and their old supreme leader died with deep regret.

The final appearance of the Weeping Buddha too had attracted all sorts of extremely powerful cultivation methods of the Five Blessings sects. Whether it was the ‘Thousand Sword Greeting’ of the Kunlun Taoist sect or the Great Mercy Temple that had combined the Buddha’s fearless qualities to conjure Shikhandini from the spiritual vitality of heaven and earth, was enough to cause a heinous wave of sensation in the cultivation world.

After the three Taoist schools and First Brother Xia of One Word Palace had left, the rest of the Wen family disciples naturally attended to the matters of the village while the group of important personages gathered in Wen Yiban’s torture chamber.

The torture chamber was located in a desolated corner at the back of the village. None of the Wen family disciples would willingly approach this place so Wen Yiban spent most of his days alone here. The old demon rabbit did not make any more public appearances after the battle as he directly detained the sorcerer from the Weeping Buddha’s stomach and brought him to the torture chamber.

Wen Leyang was stunned the moment he had entered the torture chamber. He had never stepped into this house before in his life for in every Wen family disciple’s heart, they had imagined this place to be gloomy and terrifying. Filled with the thick smell of blood, with blood-stained hooks, knives, and all sorts of unimaginable torture instruments hanging everywhere in the house. However, he had not expected the house to actually be bright and spacious. The furniture was albeit aged but still sparkly clean all over with a scent of vanilla in the air.

The sorcerer within the Weeping Buddha’s stomach was a bald-headed old person that was extremely bony and thin. He sat naked on Wen Yiban’s plank bed, holding what appeared to be a small jade Buddha statue as clear as suet in his arms. His eyes were closed as he sat meditating quietly.

The jade Buddha statue was glowing with a faint radiance which firmly enveloped the sorcerer within it. He appeared quiet and at peace.

The old demon rabbit Bu Le was also meditating and recuperating. He made a forced smile upon seeing the arrival of the group as he announced, “This is the demon monk San Duan!” Both he and the little demon rabbit had been quite exhausted from their efforts to join hands and summon the fairy maiden Shikhandini. He appeared slightly healthier now but he was still shockingly ashen and his pair of old eyes were thoroughly red. Wen Buzuo laughed excessively as he asked, “Divine monk, your eyes... are they bloodshot from worry or was it because your supernatural power is not strong enough so that you’re almost revealing your true self again?”

Wen Leyang laughed as he stared at Wen Buzuo with a slanted gaze before he diverted the topic of discussion, “I thought you said the demon monk had sacrificed his human body and transferred his consciousness into the Weeping Buddha?”

The old demon rabbit sneered, “I had made a wrong guess back then, this demon monk’s magic art is extremely strange. I’ve never encountered something like this before.”

Ever since Wen Leyang was acquainted with Bu Le, this demon rabbit divine monk had never made a correct guess even once. Wen Leyang could only grin forcefully as he diverted the topic of discussion once again. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the demon monk San Duan who was almost curled into a ball, “So, is he dead or alive now?”

The old demon rabbit Bu Le muttered to himself once, Wen Buzuo hastily commented softly, “Please make a more accurate guess this time.”

The old demon rabbit did not acknowledge Wen Buzuo but he spoke to the rest of them, “Alive... I know for sure that he’s not alive anymore. His primordial spirit had been tied to the Weeping Buddha’s body, his life was lost the moment the Weeping Buddha was shattered. I’m using the jade Buddha to cover him now in hopes that a strand of his intelligence can be recovered before he died so that he can wake up even for just a moment.”

Upon saying that, the old demon rabbit shifted his gaze towards Wen Leyang, “The words that Huang He told you when he gave you his arms, you still haven’t told your family’s elders, right?” He had cultivated the Buddhist supernatural power of the eyes and the ears; the words that Huang He had said to Wen Leyang in a low voice had also flowed into his ears.

Wen Leyang had only just remembered about that. He hastily informed the rest of them about Huang He’s mention of the ‘important personage who is significant to the destiny of the righteous and evil path of the cultivation world’ hidden within the Wen family.

The last time Qing Niao had ascended the mountain, the Wen family elders had already thought about this matter. However, the Wen Bucao was not a sect nor a clan, every person of all ages there has been born and raised in the family. Their origins were clearly defined and before the appearance of people from the Sun Dynasty Palace, they did not have the slightest idea about the cultivation world out there so how could they even have been aware of the destiny of the righteous and evil path of the cultivation world.

Now that the words had come from Huang He’s mouth, the matter suddenly became important!

Grand Elder Wen’s expression changed abruptly as he turned around and spoke to Fourth Elder Wen, “Bring the disciples in the Death Trademark to stop the Jilong Taoist School immediately!”

The words of ‘significant to the destiny of the righteous and evil path of the cultivation world’ sounded overtly heavy. Let alone the disciples of the Wen Bucao, even the sects of the Five Blessings that had been summoning winds and commanding rain for over a thousand years could not afford to bear these words! If this information was validated with proof and it was spread by such a huge sect like the Jilong Taoist School, then all the troubles in the world would soon be drawn to the Nine Peaks Mountain!

The old demon rabbit Bu Le, on the other hand, shook his head and stopped the Fourth Grandfather who was preparing to go downhill immediately. His thoroughly red eyes were glowing with hidden pride, “Shan Duan is already on his way! After Huang He spoke to you, I informed Shan Duan of this matter so he had immediately followed after the Jilong Taoist School. We must certainly investigate and clarify the sequence of events that has led to this information. Moreover, the information must never be leaked to the outsiders.”

First Uncle Wen Tunhai was still concerned, “When the divine monk Shan Duan was casting the spell, he had exhausted quite of a lot of his supernatural powers...”

The old demon rabbit was even prouder now, “It was all fake, it was all fake. I was the one who had conjured up the fairy maiden Shikhandini, he was only imitating me. This way, the cultivators in the world would never doubt why he was not returning to Mount Emei.”

After Shan Duan had led the Great Mercy Temple’s group down the mountain, he first sent the rest of the monks to Mount Emei while he himself turned invisible and followed stealthily closely behind the Jilong Taoist priests’ troop.

Wen Leyang felt uneasy and fearful in his heart. Speaking of his Faulty Punch, Szechuan Cuisine and the Poison of Life and Death, he was not inferior compared to those cultivators with a profound cultivation base but if he were to compare his thinking, his scheming and plotting with these old monsters, there truly was a vast difference between the two. Fortunately, the old demon rabbit Bu Le had already made arrangements on Wen Leyang’s behalf.

Before the enlightened person Zi Que of the Jilong Taoist School died, even though he had meticulous thinking but he chose to leak out the information on this huge matter. But out of the depths of misfortune came bliss to the Jilong Taoist School – if Huang He chooses to reveal the information about the important personage hidden within the Wen family to first uncle Wen Tunhai or the four family elders, the disciples of Wen Bucao would have never allowed them to leave the Nine Peaks Mountain just like that.

Wen Leyang asked hesitantly, “The divine monk Shan Duan is chasing after them... will he...”

Wen Buzuo sniggered from the side, “Of course he’s going to investigate the sequence of events that led to the information first, only then he will murder all of them to prevent them from divulging the secret!”

Before Wen Leyang could speak, the old demon rabbit was already startled, “Don’t talk irresponsibly! I’m only investigating the origin of that information. Shan Duan naturally has his ways to make the people of the Jilong Taoist School forget about this matter. This matter was supposed to be a classified secret of the Jilong Taoist School. Zi Que wanted to become a champion to show off the Jilong Taoist School’s abilities to the world, yet unexpectedly they had ended up with this tragic ending. Hah!”

Grand Elder Wen nodded and he continued in a low voice after a moment, “But if there truly is such a person hidden within the Wen family, we must find out who that person is as soon as possible!”

Even if the Wen family or the Great Mercy temple were to mass murder the people of the Jilong Taoist School such that no life was spared, it was difficult to make sure that the information about the ‘important personage who is significant to the destiny of the righteous and evil path of the cultivation world’ did not leak out. However, what was most important to the disciples of the Wen Bucao was to find out who this person was or to prove that this information was fake.

Wen Yiban, who was absent-minded and had kept silent throughout suddenly made a hideous smile that was uglier than a crying owl. When he realized that he could be in the midst of a big deal, he spoke gloomily, “If I were to interrogate the entire family, that will take more time and skill than usual.”

Everyone from the Wen family on the scene could feel the hairs on their backs stand up. Wen Buzuo replied out of conditional reflex, “Who will interrogate you then?” Upon saying that he suddenly realized who was he speaking to and his jaw dropped immediately.

Wen Yiban sneered, “If I were to truly interrogate the entire family, do you want to be the first or the last?”

Wen Buzuo was stunned for a moment before he suddenly burst out laughing, “The last one! If there really was such a person, it will not be me.”

Wen Yiban seemed to take a fancy to Wen Buzuo, his one eye peered at Wen Buzuo with slight admiration as he spoke very slowly, “Whether there’s such person or not or who this person is, your words don’t count.”

Grand Elder Wen was unaware that Wen Yiban could be so talkative all along. He shook his head and forced a smile as he patted Wen Yiban’s shoulder, “Stop scaring the children. If you’re the one doing the interrogation, don’t break people and even so don’t break their hearts!”

Wen Yiban smiled with a seemingly arrogant manner since no one could tell the expression on half of his face, “They are all my brothers and sisters, I’m only asking them some questions. I will not scare them.”

The four old men looked into the eyes of one another, their eyes were glimmering with a rare sign of hesitation.

Grand Elder Luo too finally understood the severity of the matter as he slowly spoke in reminder, “That little girl named Nineteen from the One Word Palace and has remained on the mountain after repeated pestering. Was it related to this matter as well?”

Third Elder Wen smiled out of a blue moon, the wrinkles around the corners of his lips were squeezed into a gloomy arc. He replied with a nonrelated issue, “Her injuries will not completely heal in a short amount of time.”

Grand Elder Wen too chuckled as he said to Third Elder Wen, “It was she who had helped us, it’s best if you don’t harm this little girl.”

Third Elder Wen only replied two words lightly, “Don’t worry.”

Meanwhile, a stiff voice echoed from within Wen Leyang’s chest pocket abruptly, “The person who had helped all of you out earlier was not only the little girl!”

Wen Leyang said ‘oh no’ as he hastily raked out the jade knife, Buddhist prayer beads and a handful of carrots from his chest pocket in a great bustle.

The jade knife that could even swallow the divine thunder from God’s punishment had unexpectedly cracked with a rather large fissure.

Wen Buzuo was the first to speak. He possesses the mannerism of one who had first caused offense to complain first, “This mountain elf is not being honest, you’ve obviously told us that you could no longer conduct the ‘Yin’s Error Yang’s Mistake’...”

The jade knife Guo Huan was not angered but its tone of speaking was filled with disdain, “I’m only a strand of remnant soul now, it’s rather impressive that I can still reclaim my ‘Yin’s Error Yang’s Mistake’ by myself. Naturally, I’ve exhausted all my strength and can no longer launch that precious of...”

The old demon rabbit examined the fissure on the jade knife. His expression was of sudden enlightenment, “You... broke the demon body?”

Ever since Guo Huan was shouted at collectively by Wen Leyang and Mumu’s group in the past, his attitude towards the old demon rabbit was much better now, “Haha, this rabbit still knows more than the others! That’s right, I did cast the ‘Demon Body Breaking’ spell, only then could I launch the ‘Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake’ to save this child, Wen Leyang’s life! Hah, if the situation now were to happen back in those days, I would not even need to exert much effort to be able to settle that bronze-skinned baldy.”

The ‘Demon Body Breaking’ spell was from the Demon Sect and was almost the same as the supernatural power of devil’s dismantlement that was cultivated by the evil path of cultivation. When one’s life vitality was exhausted and one could no longer launch any more supernatural attacks, then one would destroy one’s flesh body in exchange for the spiritual power of the life vitality.

Right now, Guo Huan’s primordial spirit was fused into one with the jade knife. Its flesh body was the knife-shaped Thunder Heart spirit jade. When Wen Leyang was in a critical situation, Guo Huan had broken its body in order to cast ‘Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake’ and rescued the three lives of Wen Leyang, Mumu, and Ah Dan at a crucial moment.

Upon listening to the old demon rabbit Bu Le’s explanation, Wen Leyang saluted Guo Huan right there and then to express his gratitude towards Guo Huan’s rescue.

Guo Huan roared with laughter, “There’s no need to salute! I saved your life so naturally, I’ll need your help too!”

Wen Leyang nodded with a solemn expression, “Awaiting the senior’s instructions!” Even though this mountain elf had initially started a feud with Grand Master Chang Li, at the root of the matter it was actually the unfortunate one for Chang Li was still smiling sweetly and wearing Dior as she traveled around the world and Guo Huan could only behave shamelessness within the jade knife.

This time, before Guo Huan could speak, the demon monk San Duan who had been curled up on the plank bed suddenly shivered vigorously. Everyone immediately retreated back a few steps, in fear that the demon monk still had the energy to leap up and fight. Only the old demon rabbit Bu Le remained still, the expression of hesitation was clearly displayed on his face.

Wen Buzuo has always been extremely loyal to the few elders of the Wen family, he refused to hide behind the family elders so he hid behind the two old men of the Luo family instead. After a while, he felt that everything was fine and he cautiously stuck out half of his head to ask, “Divine monk, what happened?”

“His primordial spirit is too shattered; even the jade Buddha is of no use in guarding him...” While saying that, the old demon rabbit’s expression gradually became more determined. His hands started to coil into a Hand Seal as he inhaled a deep breath, “Everyone, retreat out of here. I shall try again!”

The old demon rabbit Bu Le was an arrow at the end of its flight – a strong force that was all but exhausted right now. If he were to cast another Buddhist spell to summon the demon monk San Duan’s momentary consciousness, this form of exhaustion could not be recuperated in just a day or two. However, the old demon rabbit was truly unwilling to just let the demon monk San Duan die this way. He wanted to inquire how San Duan, as an eminent monk who had a thorough understanding of Buddhism thousands of years ago, had turned into the demon that was bringing harm to the human world right now!

Everyone retreated out of the torture chamber but before they managed to walk far, Wen Tunhai had made arrangements for his junior fellow disciples to bring over tables and chairs for them to sit on.

When everyone had settled down, Wen Leyang once again procured the jade knife Guo Huan, “The senior was about to say something earlier? If there is anything, please do not hesitate to instruct me.”

Guo Huan, on the other hand, was rather shy as it sniggered, “Child, I only want to ask this, you and Chang Li, err... do you have a close relationship with each other?”
