It was clear that the grand ceremony had reached an important stage before the Great Void Temple came.
Lu Zhou looked at his surroundings but could not see Zhao Yue. However, he was certain that Zhao Yue was at the holy altar because the monks of the Great Void Temple, True Sect, Clarity Sect, and Fiend Temple were here.
A hint of excitement could be seen on Little Yuan'er's face at this moment. He likes that commotion. He looked around without fear.
When Lu Zhou was still observing his surroundings, someone walked towards him. "Old Master, you should take a few steps back."
"Jiang Aijian?" Lu Zhou was made speechless. It seems like the rumors about this man's pathological obsession with the sword are true. However, for some people who both loved his life, it was unexpected that he would come to the holy altar.
Jiang Aijian glanced at the cultivators in the holy altar square who had a sour expression on their faces before he said, "Old Master, if not for your sword, it would have been for you, I won't come to this senseless place."
Lu Zhou's expression was calm, and he did not deign to reply to Jiang Aijian. He looked at Kong Xuan, the monk, who was descending in the middle of the square.
Jiang Aijian said in a soft tone, "You should leave now while you still have the chance to do so ..."
“Hm?” Lu Zhou was suspicious of Jiang Aijian's warning. He felt that Jiang Aijian did not tell him everything he knew.
Jiang Aijian looked around before he said softly, “In a few moments, these monks will seal the holy altar. Old Master, the holy altar is nothing but a pretense, and the Holy Princess is a decoy ..."
Lu Zhou was skeptical. He asked with a flat face, "How do you know this is a trap?"
"If you sell your sword, I'll tell you ... You are only at the middle stage of the Natural Condensation Flavor, no one will be able to save you if you don't leave now." He looked at the setting sun as he continued to say, "This is your last chance to survive."
Lu Zhou found Jiang Aijian's words funny. He stroked his beard and asked, "I think you want me dead?"
“No, no, no. I appreciate life above everything. I would love to get that sword, but the right person must get the sword the right way. Look around you.” Jiang Aijian points left and right. He clicked his tongue as he shook his head and said, “Everything looks like it has a short lifespan. You're a good man, Old Man. Good people should live long..”.
“I'm a good person?” Lu Zhou was slightly surprised by this compliment.
Jiang Aijian said with a smile, "The sword is a treasure. As the owner, I'm sure you won't have a bad character.”
What kind of logic is this?
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "There are so many elites here... Can the Great Void Temple handle them?"
Jiang Aijian shook his head. He pointed towards the True Sect and the Clarity Sect. He said, “Old Master, pay close attention.The elders from the True Sect and Clarity are not here. Only the Third Seat of the Fiend Temple was here.
When Lu Zhuo saw the two flags, he found that many seats were empty.
Jiang Aijian said with a frown, “They are being held back by the elites. They would be lucky to guard their heads, let alone come to the holy altar.
Lu Zhou looked at Jiang Aijian flatly. 'This guy seems to have a knack for getting information. No wonder he could make a name for himself in the cultivation world.'
Meanwhile, in the middle of the holy altar, Kong Xuan bowed to the disciples of the Righteous Sect who were making a riot before he raised his hand and said, “Zhao Yue is the villain of the Evil Sky Pavilion… He took on many sins. A few years ago, Master Kong Ming had lost his life in his hands. The Great Void Temple will lead him to let Buddha cleanse him of his sins so that he can be reincarnated as a human.”
The True Sect disciple got up and retorted angrily, “The female Devil is the common enemy of the Noble Path. The Great Void Temple had never cared about these things, yet, you suddenly appeared and filled our ears with the act of compassion that you wanted? Here's what I think about all this! ” He spits to the ground as soon as he finishes talking.
Seeing this, the cultivators of the True Sect burst into laughter. However, the people from the Fiend Shrine remained silent.
Lu Zhuo looked around. The second seat of the Fiend Temple, Zuo Xinchan, was killed by him. For this reason, they hated the Evil Sky Pavilion. It was logical for them to shift the blame to Zhao Yue. He was surprised the Fiend Shrine had sent their Third Seat here this time. He did not know this person and had never seen this person in his memory either. Perhaps, this person was too insignificant to be noticed by Ji Tiandao.
Meanwhile, Kong Xuan, the monk, did not appear angry. He only looked around before he said nonchalantly, This old “Bhikkhu did not come here to ask for your approval, dear benefactor. I'm just here to tell you about this decision. The Great Void Temple must bring the Evil Sky Pavilion Villain, Zhao Yue, away.”
The crowd gasped in shock at this sudden attack.
Jiang Aijian glanced at the figure and shook his head before saying, “Only cannons throw away his life. The Agung Dharani meditation weakens and intimidates its target. With the chaotic Blood Qi of these people, I will praise them if they are even able to unleash 30% of their strength.”
Lu Zhou watched the process calmly. If this did not involve Zhao Yue, it would have nothing to do with him.
On the other hand, Little Yuan'er was getting excited about this new development. He clapped his hands together with the disciples of the True Sect. It seemed like he was a cultivator from the Noble Path as well.
At this moment, the cultivator who leaped forward sent a wave of Sword Qi towards Xuan Kong.
There was a buzz in the air as Xuan Kong's kasaya glittered with gold. He seemed to have grown 10 feet taller!
"The Golden Body of Arahat?"
Bang out!
Loud explosions rang out in the air as the cultivator was slapped by the Arahant Golden Body. The cultivator flipped in the air and almost lost his footing when he landed. The sword in his hand was still buzzing from the impact, and his arm was numb!
Kong Xuan reached out one hand, standing still, as he said emotionlessly, Benevolent “Dear, why is there a need to be angry? The villain came from the Evil Sky Pavilion. You have all fought and lost against the old villains along with the 10 elites of the Nascent Great Tribulation Realm. Even Heavenly Sword Sect Master Luo Changfeng died a terrible death. Just by handing this female demon to the Great Void Temple, everyone would remain safe.”
In other words, Kong Xuan meant that if Ji Tiandao came, how many of them would be able to stop Ji Tian Dao?
“Your mouth is ugly, you bald donkey. If the Noble Path could not withstand it, what makes you think the Great Void Temple could?”
Kong Xuan's expression remained calm as he said slowly, “Biara has been cultivating in seclusion for a century and has increased her cultivation base tremendously. We can face that old villain.”
Kong Xuan's words were akin to stones being thrown into a calm lake, causing everyone present in the holy altar square to be in an uproar. Many of them even had frightened expressions on their faces. They knew that the Great Void Temple 'Kong Yuan was the monk god of the Six Leaves Golden Body a century ago. They had not expected him to cultivate in seclusion all this time.
Someone from the Clarity Sect stood up and bowed as he cupped his hands together at Kong Xuan. "If Master Kong Yuan can handle the old villain of the Evil Sky Pavilion, the Clarity Sect agrees to hand over the female demon, Zhao Yue, to the Great Void Temple."
The people from the Noble Road were dumbfounded.
The Clarity Sect and the True Sect had the same bloodline. However, the people responsible were not present at this time. If they agreed to this, how would they explain themselves to the dead disciples? They can't call a shot.
Kong Xuan nodded. “This old monk is grateful to the benefactors of the Clarity Sect. The Great Void Temple will definitely not disappoint you. We will definitely reform the villain.”
At this moment, a deep voice sounded from behind Kong Xuan. "You should ask my permission if you want to take Zhao Yue away."
Kong Xuan turned to face the Fiend Temple. “This old monk said this visit was not intended as a negotiation. I'm just here to tell you about this decision. ” He speaks softly, but it makes the listeners restless.
The Third Seat of the Fiend Temple raised an eyebrow as he said coldly, “What a bald ass that is so holy-spirited! The Great Void Temple clearly planned this and threw the Great Meditation Dharani around the holy altar. Do you dare to act as if you deserve justice when you play a trick like this? ” He paused for a moment before continuing, “Temple of the Great Void always claims that he views all life equally without distinguishing right from evil. He also never interfered in worldly affairs..Is there nothing better to do today?”.
Kong Xuan straightened his right arm. "Support Duan, are you going to stop this old monk?"
“Poor monk! You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink one loss! ” The Third Seat of the Fiend Temple waved his hand, and several black-robed cultivators jumped out from behind him into the square.
Kong Xuan stood quietly with his right hand outstretched when faced with the hostile newcomer. He did not seem anxious, and his attitude was neither slave nor arrogant.
"The Arahat Golden Body." His 20-foot Golden Body emitted an enormous energy as his kasaya fluttered through the air.
Jiang Aijian was shocked when he saw this. “The Golden Body of Arhat is equivalent to a two-leaf avatar of the Nascent Godhead Tribulation Realm. This bald donkey is no ordinary monk. Old Man, quickly move to the back! The Fiend Temple was clearly ready. If that bald donkey uses the zen sign, you will definitely be affected since you are only in the Flavor Condensation Realm!” As he spoke, he pulled Lu Zhou's arm to pull Lu Zhou back.
