Not long after Lu Yang and thousands of disciples from the Jiuyan Sect broke into the Buddha Temple, they engaged in battle with the monks of the temple.
The Jiuyan Sect is comprised of Nine Peaks, each with several true disciples. In recent times, the sect’s attention has been mostly focused on the true disciples of the Ninth Peak, making the true disciples of the other peaks feel somewhat overlooked.
As a result, in this battle, the true disciples of each peak put forth their utmost effort, aiming to take down a monk with each strike.
Although the disciples of the Jiuyan Sect were as if they were injected with chicken blood, they still had some restraint.
Since all were from righteous sects, they focused mainly on causing severe injuries, resorting to inflicting serious wounds only in the heat of battle.
After the previous “internal conflict” within their sect, the disciples of the Ninth Peak, including Elder Lu Yang, gained a lot of experience and no longer took the usual path.
They rarely engaged in head-on combat with the monks of the Buddha Temple. Instead, they used strategies like flanking and surprise attacks to achieve great success.
“Amitabha!”
Accompanied by a murmur, several monks with Buddha’s light above their heads appeared on the battlefield.
“The Buddha Sons from the Buddha Temple!”
The Great Elder of the Ninth Peak Lu Yang looked slightly solemn upon seeing this.
The Jiuyan Sect naturally had intelligence on the Buddha Temple.
Lu Yang and the others were well aware that all the Buddha Sons were of the Heavenly Origin level and possessed profound Buddhist teachings.
Although the Jiuyan Sect had many true disciples, there were definitely not many who could match them. To put it bluntly, this was the merit of the Buddhist Sect’s relics.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Buddha Sons of the Buddha Temple had inherited the Buddhist relics and had been blessed with Buddhist teachings, in terms of cultivation talent alone, they really couldn’t compare to the true disciples of the Jiuyan Sect.
The appearance of the Buddha Sons put the Jiuyan Sect on high alert.
For a moment, both the Jiuyan Sect and the Buddha Temple stopped fighting and glared at each other angrily.
“This poor monk’s Dharma name is Ci Fa, the third Buddha Son!”
Suddenly, a short Buddha Son stepped forward to challenge them.
“I will fight you!”
A young swordsman from the Jiuyan Sect stepped out from the crowd with a determined face. This person was Zhou Jian, the first true disciple of Sword Peak.
Before Lin Feng joined the Jiuyan Sect, Zhou Jian had challenged Jiang Chen but was defeated by the latter in an overwhelming manner.
At that time, Zhou Jian was an early-stage Earth Origin sword cultivator. Zhou Jian learned from his shame after that competition and became even more diligent in his cultivation.
Now, he had reached the mid-stage of Earth Origin.
Do not underestimate the difference of this small realm. Sword cultivators are different from ordinary cultivators. Even a small realm difference can lead to a significant increase in combat power.
Holding his sword, Zhou Jian glanced at the short Buddha Son and wondered, “The third Buddha Son? Where are the first and second Buddha Sons?”
“…”
Hearing this, the third Buddha Son Ci Fa’s face darkened instantly.
The Buddha Temple had a total of six Buddha Sons, four of whom had been beaten half-crippled by Jiang Chen’s “Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon.”
Especially the first Buddha Son, Ci En, who was still in a coma to this day!
Not only that, although the Buddha Temple had many law-enforcing monks, the ones who went to enlighten Jiang Chen that day were among the top experts. And those experts were also severely injured by Jiang Chen.
At this moment, Ci Fa began to suspect that the demon monk from the Upper Domain was actually paving the way for the Jiuyan Sect!
“Amitabha, I observe that you Jiuyan Sect people are shrouded in malevolent energy and demons born from the heart! You have all fallen into evil! I must help you reform!” Before the fight began, Ci Fa put his hands together and said with Buddha’s light above his head.
He thought these words would anger the Jiuyan Sect people.
However,
“How did you know? Are you a Demon Sect undercover?!” Zhou Jian exclaimed in shock.
“…”
Ci Fa was stunned.
This was just the way Buddhist Sect disciples claimed the moral high ground before a fight.
Normally, those cultivators who were told by Buddhist monks that they had “fallen into evil” would desperately deny it. But this Zhou Jian actually admitted it!
Not only did he admit it, but he also accused him of being an undercover!
This move… was quite clever. He was not taking the usual path, but he actually threw dirty water on him!
Ci Fa looked at Zhou Jian with admiration, no longer wasting words, and prepared to make a move.
Zhou Jian also straightened his expression, and his spirit sword made a “zing, zing” sound.
One second ago, the two were staring into each other’s eyes, but in the next second, they rushed to each other’s faces, their eyes filled with the will to fight.
And just as everyone was watching, ready for them to fight three hundred rounds, two delicate voices suddenly rang out.
“Get out of the way!”
“You’re blocking the way!”
As the voices fell, Zhou Jian felt a heavy blow to the head, while Ci Fa was trembling all over from the cold.
When everyone came back to their senses, they discovered that two graceful figures had appeared.
It was Jiang Lianyue and Qingning!
No one knew when Qingning had quietly reached behind Zhou Jian and knocked him out with a spirit shovel.
Jiang Lianyue was even more direct. She first used her cultivation technique to form Cold Qi, which made Ci Fa shiver and then kicked him several meters away.
Everyone glanced at Zhou Jian and Ci Fa on the ground, then at Jiang Lianyue and Qingning.
The people of the Buddha Temple were shocked and the people of the Jiuyan Sect were stunned.
These two women were indeed swift and decisive in their actions. But the problem was, why were they hitting their own people?!
After a long moment of shock, the Great Elder of the Ninth Peak, Lu Yang, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He had just realized that after just a few months of seclusion, Jiang Lianyue had already broken through to the Heavenly Origin level!
And Qingning, who had always been less talented, had also raised her cultivation to the Earth Origin level!
“Haha, these are the proud talents of my Ninth Peak!” Lu Yang shouted excitedly.
“Oh——!”
The disciples of the Ninth Peak also shouted.
“Topple Buddha Temple, save Lin Feng!” Lu Yang called out with a wave of his arm.
“Oh——!”
The people of the Jiuyan Sect shouted again.
In the next moment, the two sects clashed once more.
Jiang Lianyue and Qingning had been informed on their way there that saving Lin Feng was just a slogan, and the real purpose of this mission was to rescue Jiang Chen.
Therefore, although the two women did not echo the slogan, they still joined the battlefield.
Of course, if any fellow sect members hindered their steps, they would still indiscriminately knock them down together.
As the fight went on, Jiang Lianyue grew tired of it.
After frowning, a surge of imperial authority burst forth from her body, making it difficult for the monks of the Buddha Temple to breathe.
She did not intend to self-destruct her imperial essence. After repeated tests, she found that as long as she controlled the rhythm well, she could use the imperial essence to release a certain amount of imperial authority to suppress the enemy.
Qingning was also tired of it and stopped knocking people with her spirit shovel. Instead, she waved her white arms, and the green bells on them rang clearly.
The bell rings like waves, rippling outwards. And upon hearing it, monks with lower cultivation levels fall into a stupor one after another.
Seizing this opportunity, members of the Jiuyan Sect surge forward, pinning down the monks who have lost their ability to fight and giving them a wild beating. The monks of the Buddha Temple are forced to retreat because of this.
Lu Yang and the others from the Jiuyan Sect initially want to pursue, but Li Fadu arrives with another group of disciples and stops them, saying, “Don’t chase after them. Jiang Chen is in the Buddha’s Six Prisons. We need to hurry to rescue him.”
After speaking, Li Fadu glances at Qingning, who is smiling with crescent-moon eyes.
Then, he shudders. To this day, he still can’t forget the experience of being buried alive by Qingning…
“Don’t be afraid, Elder Li. As long as you behave, Qingning won’t bury you alive again,” Qingning says seriously with hands clasped behind her back.
“…”
Li Fadu is speechless.
For Li Fadu, the most frightening thing about Qingning is her ability to say the most terrifying things with the most innocent face.
