Chapter 143: All Their Artifacts Were Plundered

Chapter 143: All Their Artifacts Were Plundered

Lu Xun's unexpected words added insult to injury for the already impoverished old abbot. Having just lost two of the most precious treasures of Kongming Temple, he hadn't even recovered from the grief, and now the last remaining artifact was about to fall into someone else's hands. This… This felt like being robbed outright!

Immortal Miao Feng looked expressionless as she stared at the two old monks. She lightly raised her hand and said to the old monk, "Hand it over."

"Demoness!"

"Don't be arrogant!"

The old abbot had yet to react, but his junior monk couldn't bear this humiliation any longer. He summoned his own artifact, a translucent golden parasol, and decided to fight this demoness to the death. However, before he could even firmly grasp the artifact, it flew out of his control and headed straight for Immortal Miao Feng.

"The Heavenly Parasol?"

"I've been searching for it for over a century, so it was in your hands." Immortal Miao Feng took the golden parasol, examined it with satisfaction, and then wiped away the consciousness within the artifact. She tossed it to her side, towards Lu Xun. Facing the dumbfounded old monks, she said, "Hand them all over."

In a short span of time, they had lost three top-grade artifacts, with two of them being the temple's treasured possessions. The two old monks were at a loss, feeling regretful for getting involved in this mess. Now not only had they lost their artifacts, but they might also lose their lives soon.

"Great Masters…"

"I told you earlier to run away, but you didn't listen. You insisted on trying to take my wife's life. Are you satisfied now?" Lu Xun held the treasures from Kongming Temple and spoke meaningfully. "Alright. Don't hide them anymore. I know you've prepared a lot of artifacts this time. Bring them all out."

Could this be a trap?

The two old monks now had a good reason to believe that they had fallen into a trap. Recently, there had been rumors in the capital about a scam called "Immortal's Leap." It seemed eerily similar to their current situation – lured into a place and then robbed blind.

"Are you… Are you the legendary millennium-old demoness, Immortal Miao Feng?" The old abbot looked at the big demoness again, cautiously repeating his question.

Although Immortal Miao Feng's name was well-known in the world, very few had actually seen her. The old abbot guessed from the horrifying and awe-inspiring aura that this woman was probably the millennium-old demoness, but he couldn't be certain.

However, Immortal Miao Feng still didn't respond. She just coldly stared at the two old monks and said, "Hand over all your top-grade artifacts and then get lost!"

The big demoness had already guessed that the two old monks were from Kongming Temple. If it had been in the past, she would have killed them instantly. However, Kongming Temple was not an ordinary temple; it belonged to the authority of the court and was also under Su Jingyi's influence. If she killed these two monks now, the promise she had made would be ruined.

Lu Xun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He looked at the demoness by his side with a hint of surprise. When did she become so kind-hearted? She was actually allowing them to leave. Given her fiery temper, she should have started a massacre.

The two old monks exchanged glances, their eyes filled with humiliation and helplessness. Even though they hadn't resorted to violence yet, it was fortunate that they hadn't.

"Senior, this…"

The old abbot from Kongming Temple wanted to continue negotiating, but before he could finish speaking, an even more overwhelming and majestic aura swept over them. The two old monks instantly knelt on the ground, sweat pouring from their foreheads, their expressions filled with fear and anxiety.

Faced with this irresistible power, the two aged monks, both well into their twilight years, felt how utterly insignificant they were. This horrifying experience could only be provided by the likes of Su Jingyi, the current Immortal, and the millennium-old demoness Immortal Miao Feng.

She was Immortal Miao Feng! She must be!

Desperation and regret filled the eyes of the two old monks. They had initially believed this was just a routine demon-hunting mission, at worst a slightly challenging one. But who could have foreseen that they would end up hunting Immortal Miao Feng, and to make things even more bizarre, the millennium-old demoness had a husband, and her husband was…

Four pairs of eyes stared at Lu Xun in unison, even though he was handsome and dashing, there was a hint of playfulness in his demeanor that betrayed his serious intentions.

No wonder he looked like he was on the brink of death!

The two old monks resented Lu Xun for their current predicament. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't be in this situation.

"Bargain with me?"

"Do you even have the qualifications?" Immortal Miao Feng sneered coldly and continued, "My patience is limited. I don't want to waste time on these trivial matters. It's best for you to cooperate willingly, or else… Don't blame me for being impolite."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her delicate hand lightly, causing the two old monks to gasp for air, feeling as if they had just survived a near-death experience.

Then, they hurriedly produced a pile of artifacts, totaling at least a dozen in number.

"Humph!"

Immortal Miao Feng glanced at these demon-hunting artifacts with indifference and said, "As expected, you came prepared."

The old abbot attempted to explain urgently, "Misunderstanding! It was all just a misunderstanding. We never intended to subdue you. Given our modest cultivation, how could we possibly subdue someone like you? Actually, we came here to…"

"You came here to deliver charity to the community?" Lu Xun interrupted with a smirk. "Alright. Your good deeds, the Buddha has seen them all. They will surely be recorded in the book of merits. Since you've handed over everything, you can leave now. Be careful on your way."

"Okay, okay!"

The two old monks hurriedly turned and left without a trace of nostalgia.

"Hold on!"

A cold voice from behind froze them in place.

"S-Senior, what do you command?" the old abbot stammered.

"After you return, don't spread any rumors about today's events. If I hear even a hint of it from outside, I will exterminate the entire Kongming Temple," Immortal Miao Feng coldly warned, gazing at him with a deadly seriousness. "Don't doubt my abilities. Even if Su Jingyi comes, I will still slaughter all of you."

If anyone else had uttered these words, the old abbot would have just smiled and pretended it never happened. But the fact that it was coming from the woman in front of him changed everything. Although she had never admitted who she was, her nature was completely different from ordinary people.

Then her displayed strength and the threats she had made were sufficient to explain everything.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Please, senior, rest assured. We will never mention this matter," the old abbot hastily assured.

"Very well." Immortal Miao Feng responded indifferently.

After the two old monks left, she glared angrily at Lu Xun by her side, questioning him with irritation, "What's going on with you? How did you end up having dealings with monks? Are you thinking of becoming a monk?"

"How could I possibly become a monk?" Lu Xun grinned. "I went to Kongming Temple just to seek blessings. I prayed that the four of us can live peacefully and harmoniously in the future. However, they sensed the demonic aura on me and then… they tied me up to lure you here and take the opportunity to subdue you."

Immortal Miao Feng wasn't concerned about the latter part of his statement. Instead, she was fixated on the first half, gazing at him with a dazed expression. She mumbled, "You are so restless…"

Lu Xun gently let go of the treasures in his arms and embraced Immortal Miao Feng. He looked at the weary demoness, whose mature and enchanting charm was filled with a tenderness that touched the heart. There was an indescribable charm about her. He softly said, "From now on, I'll just stay by your side, or rather, by your sides. I won't go anywhere else."

The big demoness nodded in satisfaction, and her graceful figure moved slightly toward him.

…

"Senior Brother."

"This matter can't end like this," the divining old monk spoke indignantly. "This is clearly a trap!"

The old abbot sighed and lamented, "Even if it is a trap, what can we do? We're not her match. Even if all the disciples of our monastery join forces, it still wouldn't be enough to defeat her."

"Senior Brother…"

"Is she really Immortal Miao Feng?" the old monk asked in a hushed tone. "If it's really her, how could she appear in the capital city? Normally, if she's in the capital, Guardian Su should have sensed something."

"I also don't know why Guardian Su hasn't taken action," the elderly abbot said with a frown, mumbling, "But one thing is certain, that woman is the millennium-old demoness Immortal Miao Feng. Such a horrifying and terrifying aura can only belong to her or Guardian Su in the current world."

"In that case…"

"In that case, should we go visit Guardian Su?" the old monk suggested. "We can inform her about Immortal Miao Feng's presence in the capital and, while we're at it, tell her about our troubles. Perhaps she can help us recover the lost artifacts. What do you think, Senior Brother?"

Faced with his junior's suggestion, the old abbot was suddenly moved. Currently, if they wanted to recover the lost artifacts, they would need Guardian Su's assistance. After some brief contemplation, he made up his mind.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go visit Guardian Su!"

Su Jingyi was reclining lazily on a chaise lounge in her sleeping gown, eating grapes from the Western Regions, and reading books on secret cultivation methods. With her relaxed posture, her enticing figure was on full display.

Just then, a maidservant rushed in.

"Master, Grandmasters Kong Jue and Kong Mie are here to see you," the maidservant said respectfully.

"Again? I have to change my clothes." Su Jingyi frowned, looking displeased. "What do they want?"

"Grandmaster Kong Jue said they were just robbed by the demoness Miao Feng," the maidservant replied softly. "All of their artifacts were plundered."

Huh? This…
