The monk Xuan Wu's face turned red, his body trembling. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into...
So embarrassing!
Truly too embarrassing!
I am a Great Cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and I'm also the chief of the Myriad Buddhas Sect's Damo Court. I am respected everywhere I go, yet now I am being ridiculed by Gao Fei, and what's more infuriating... I cannot even talk back, I can only listen...
"Why aren't you speaking?" Gao Fei blinked, "I rember you're not mute, right? Oh, I get it, you're too ashad to speak, aren't you? Sneaking around tracking , even covering your face with a black cloth, being caught red-handed like this must be making you feel extrely ashad, right? Wishing you could crawl into a crack in the ground? Am I right?"
Xuan Wu, with his head lowered, said nothing. Gao Fei's guess was not wrong; he truly had no face to speak.
"What were you trying to do sneakily following ? And covering your face with black cloth? Are you that afraid of being recognized by ?"
"..."
"You definitely didn't have good intentions, did you? Were you thinking of ambushing ?"
"..."
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to send you to et the Buddha right now." Gao Fei flipped his wrist, and a large hamr appeared in his palm, raised high and then brought down heavily, aiming for Xuan Wu's head.
"Stop!" Xuan Wu exclaid in horror, "Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence, hey hey hey, don't hit, please don't hit, stop, stop... " Xuan Wu was indeed very embarrassed, agitated, even stifled, but he didn't want to die. His glorious life was just beginning, he still wanted to beco a monastery head, he still wanted to ascend to immortality...
"Swish!"
The hamr stopped, just an inch from Xuan Wu's head.
"Phew..."
Xuan Wu's face turned pale with fright, his sweat cold, "About that, let's talk it over, just talk it over, please don't get violent... It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. The reason I was following you was to find an opportunity to capture you and then use you to threaten Shangguan Yunyue, to force her to hand over the Shariputra. I really had no intention of harming you, and besides, I was only following orders, it was the abbott who told to do so, I dared not disobey." Xuan Wu shifted all the bla to the abbot.
"Are you afraid of death?" Gao Fei asked coldly.
"This..."
"Not afraid?"
"Afraid, afraid, afraid! I'm scared! Who isn't afraid of death nowadays?"
"I can let you live, but you need to do a favor."
"What favor?" Xuan Wu asked warily, "My abilities are limited, I'm afraid I can't help you."
"Help rescue Shangguan Yunyue."
"... I really want to help you, but I can't, really! I truly can't! Shangguan Yunyue is held inside the Tower of Myriad Buddhas, personally guarded by the Elder Council. It's very difficult for even to get a glimpse of Shangguan Yunyue, let alone rescue her." As he said this, Xuan Wu added, "I am the chief of the Damo Court, and there is friction between the Damo Court and the Elder Council; the two do not interact much. The Chief Great Elder Xuan Ming of the Elder Council holds an especially deep grudge against ."
"So, after all is said and done, you just don't want to help, right?" Gao Fei loosened his hand, and the hamr fell down instantly, striking Xuan Wu's head, "Buzz!" Xuan Wu's body shuddered, his brain going into brief shock, and it took a long ti before he recovered.
"Ow ow ow..." Xuan Wu cried out in pain, "Don't hit, please don't hit. The head is very fragile; once it's damaged, it's all bad..."
"If you want to keep your head, help rescue Shangguan Yunyue."
"I can't save him... I really can't... even if you kill , I still can't save him..."
"Then I'll kill you."
"Don't kill, please don't kill . Actually, we don't have any deep hatred between us. It was the abbot who captured Shangguan Yunyue and Xuan Ming who tortured her. It has nothing to do with ." Xuan Wu the monk was truly shaless, pushing all the responsibility onto others.
At this mont, He Hentian walked over, "Grab these monks, and then use them to threaten the Myriad Buddhas Sect as hostages, to exchange for Shangguan Yunyue." Here, He Hentian paused for a while, "Five for one, the Myriad Buddhas Sect is making a killing."
Gao Fei sneered, "What if the Myriad Buddhas Sect refuses?"
"Refuse? If the Myriad Buddhas Sect really refuses! Then kill them to give the Myriad Buddhas Sect a shock!"
"Hmm, let's do it this way."
The two of them decided the fate of Xuan Wu the monk and his companions in just a few words.
"Swoosh!"
Gao Fei put away the hamr and sneered, "You better pray that the Myriad Buddhas Sect agrees to the exchange of hostages, otherwise... you'll just be waiting for death."
The group of monks led by Xuan Wu were crestfallen and extrely dejected, knowing full well that falling into Gao Fei's hands ant there was no good end in sight, and whether they could save their lives was a complete unknown.
...
"Boom!"
The mountain gate of the Myriad Buddhas Sect slowly opened, and a group of monks walked out, led by the abbot Xuan Si.
Abbot Xuan Si had a stern face, glanced at Gao Fei, then at He Hentian, and finally fixed his gaze on Duanmu Hong, "Huh?" Abbot Xuan Si's eyelids twitched, a surge of shock ran through him, what a powerful aura! Who is this woman across from ? How can she instill such a sense of fear in ?
"Old monk, have you had your fill of looking?" Duanmu Hong glared at Abbot Xuan Si, "Even if I'm beautiful, you can't just keep staring at , right?"
"Hmm..." Abbot Xuan Si's face twitched several tis, and he intoned a holy Buddha na, "May I ask the lady's na?"
"I'm Duanmu Hong," said Duanmu Hong in a careless manner, revealing her na.
"Duanmu Hong?" Abbot Xuan Si furrowed his brows, deep in thought. This na was unfamiliar. Soone like Duanmu Hong, who was at such a level, should be famous, right? Why have I never heard of her? Could it be a fake na? Abbot Xuan Si composed himself and asked politely, "May I know what brings the lady here?"
"I'm here for an item," answered Duanmu Hong indifferently, "and to save soone while I'm at it."
"An item? What item?" Abbot Xuan Si felt a sinking feeling in his heart, "Save soone? Who are you saving?"
"I'm looking for a Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine," stated Duanmu Hong unhurriedly, "The person I want to save is a woman. What's her na again..."
"Shangguan Yunyue," Gao Fei reminded her from the side.
"Oh, right, Shangguan Yunyue," Duanmu Hong nodded her head, "Hurry up and hand over Shangguan Yunyue, and give a few Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicines, and we'll consider the matter settled."
Abbot Xuan Si believed he had good self-restraint, but after hearing Duanmu Hong's demands, he still got angry, "I'm sorry, I can't et either of the two conditions you ntioned. Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicines are exceedingly precious and can't be given to you. As for Shangguan Yunyue... it's even less likely she will be released."
Instead of getting angry, Duanmu Hong beca excited after hearing Abbot Xuan Si's response, her eyes fiercely fixed on the abbot, "So the Myriad Buddhas Sect really does have Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicines? Hahaha... I really ca to the right place! Not bad, not bad at all!!! Co on, hand over the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicines quickly, or else I might have to take matters into my own hands," said Duanmu Hong. And she added, "I'm not known for having a good temper, and once I start, I can't help wanting to kill. It's best not to provoke ."
