Hearing Duanmu Hong agree, Xiao Zu Tianji let out a sigh of relief, finally relieved. He had been truly nervous just now! He feared Duanmu Hong would refuse, he could die, but he couldn't stand by and watch the Myriad Buddhas Sect be destroyed, Xiao Zu Tianji was a man who knew how to repay kindness, all he had now was bestowed upon him by the Myriad Buddhas Sect, without it, there would be no him today!
To protect the legacy of the Myriad Buddhas Sect, Xiao Zu Tianji was willing to pay any price.
Does Duanmu Hong want the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine? Give it to her!
Does Duanmu Hong want to rescue Shangguan Yunyue who is imprisoned in the Stone Tower? Fine, release her imdiately!
In a word, whatever demand Duanmu Hong made, they must try their best to satisfy it.
"Stop fighting!" Duanmu Hong shouted loudly, "I've already made peace with Xiao Zu Tianji!"
"Eh? Made peace?"
"Really? For real?"
"Does this an... our lives are spared?"
"Xiao Zu must have paid a huge price..."
…
Both fighting parties stopped their hands imdiately, then showed expressions of confusion.
Gao Fei and He Hentian quickly ran over, "Senior? Why would you make peace? We have the upper hand right now!"
"They have agreed to hand over the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine," Duanmu Hong said indifferently.
"What about Shangguan Yunyue?" Gao Fei asked anxiously.
"They agreed to release her."
"Then what are we waiting for? Release her now!!!" Gao Fei shouted urgently.
"Young man, don't worry, I will release her now." Xiao Zu Tianji beckoned towards Abbot Xuan Si standing on the side, "Co here."
Abbot Xuan Si rushed over and bowed, "What are your instructions, Xiao Zu?"
"Hand over that Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine to them, then release their friend," Xiao Zu Tianji ordered.
"Ah?" Abbot Xuan Si's complexion changed drastically, "Xiao Zu, we can't! How precious is the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine, it can't just be given away to them... and that Shangguan Yunyue, she stole the Shariputra, if we release her, the Shariputra will be untraceable." Whether it was the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine or the Shariputra, both were extrely treasured relics, losing either would cause imnse pain to Abbot Xuan Si, and now, losing them both at once, it almost made him unable to breathe from the heartache.
Xiao Zu Tianji simply waved his hand, "I've already promised them."
"But you can't promise that," Abbot Xuan Si beca anxious, "You absolutely can't."
"What?" Xiao Zu Tianji's expression darkened, "Are my words aningless now?"
"I..."
"I ask you, what's more important, the legacy of the Myriad Buddhas Sect, or the Spiritual dicine and the Shariputra?"
"This..."
"Answer !!!"
"Of course, the legacy of the Myriad Buddhas Sect is more important."
"At least you're not confused," Xiao Zu Tianji softened his voice, "We can find more Spiritual dicine if we lose it, and about the Shariputra... when I die, I can leave behind a grand Shariputra for you. No more words, hurry up and give her the Spiritual dicine, then release the one who stole the Shariputra." After saying these words, Xiao Zu Tianji showed a look of exhaustion on his face, at this mont, he felt extrely weary, he wanted to settle this matter quickly, then find a quiet place to sleep.
Abbot Xuan Si sighed deeply looking up at the sky, "Fine then! Fine! If Xiao Zu is determined on this course... I... I will obey you..."
To be honest, Patriarch Tianji was also feeling uncomfortable, but if he had even a sliver of hope, he wouldn't have backed down. It was just that he really had no other choice... To preserve the legacy of Myriad Buddhas Sect, he had to pay a certain price.
...
Duanmu Hong followed Abbot Xuan Si to retrieve the Spiritual dicine, while Gao Fei and He Hentian followed the Chief Great Elder of the Elder Council, Xuan Ming, to the Stone Tower to rescue Shangguan Yunyue.
"Hurry up!" Gao Fei urged, "Don't dawdle! You're as slow as an ant!"
Xuan Ming's face darkened, "I'm already moving quickly."
"Oh, look who's talking back! Believe it or not, I will slap you with a big one!" Gao Fei glared and snapped.
"Baldy, if even your Patriarch has caved, what are you still acting tough for? What do you have to be tough about?" He Hentian said with disdain.
Xuan Ming's face turned an iron blue, and he clenched his fists tightly, "Don't push !"
"I'm pushing you; what are you going to do about it?" He Hentian sneered, "What are you anyway? If you really piss off, I'll just have Senior Duanmu slap you to death with one blow."
Xuan Ming's expression grew uglier...
Before long, the trio arrived at the entrance of the Stone Tower.
"Open the door to the Stone Tower." Gao Fei commanded, "Hurry!"
With a wave of his hand, Xuan Ming slowly opened the door of the Stone Tower. "Whoosh!" Gao Fei charged into the Stone Tower first, then looked for Shangguan Yunyue. Xuan Ming and He Hentian followed closely behind. When Xuan Ming and He Hentian reached the top, they saw Gao Fei holding Shangguan Yunyue in a very intimate embrace.
"Quick! Remove the Six True Words atop the Stone Tower," Gao Fei shouted.
Xuan Ming stood still without moving.
"I'm talking to you; didn't you hear ?" Gao Fei glared at Xuan Ming.
"Hey!" He Hentian pushed Xuan Ming, "Have you gone mute? Can you still talk?"
Xuan Ming took a deep breath and then said slowly, "I can remove the Six True Words, but you must promise one condition."
"Damn it!" As soon as He Hentian heard it, he beca furious. He pointed at Xuan Ming's nose and cursed, "You dare to make conditions! I think you don't want to live! Damn it, both your Patriarch and Abbot have backed down, and yet you, a re elder, still dare to be so defiant. Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"
Xuan Ming ignored He Hentian, staring intently at Shangguan Yunyue, "Hand over the Shariputra! I will let you go! You stole the Shariputra, and one of them belonged to my master. He was like a mountain of kindness to in life; I must retrieve my master's Shariputra no matter what."
Shangguan Yunyue furrowed her brows, "The Shariputra has already been used by . It's gone."
"What did you say!" Xuan Ming's eyes instantly reddened, and he roared like a madman, "Say it again! What did you do with my master's Shariputra!!!"
"Those Shariputra have been used by ." Shangguan Yunyue repeated.
"Ah!!" Xuan Ming beca enraged, insane, and berserk, "You destroyed my master's Shariputra, I want you to join him in death!!! To accompany him in death!!!" As he spoke, Xuan Ming bit his finger, flicked a drop of blood, and commanded, "Six True Words, suppress them!!! Crush them to death!!!"
"Boom!!!"
At the top of the Stone Tower, a golden Buddha image shimred into being, its mouth opening and closing, emitting six characters. Arranged in different positions, these six characters contained terrifying energy. They were the Six True Words, representing the supre essence of Buddhology.
"Suppress! Suppress them!!!" Xuan Ming shouted with all his might.
"You bald donkey are courting death!" He Hentian lunged forward, but just then, a beam of golden light suddenly appeared, blocking He Hentian's path, "Get out of my way!" With his fists clenched, He Hentian struck towards the golden light, "Pfft!" The golden light suddenly dispersed, turning into myriad golden specks that enveloped He Hentian.
The terrifying energy assaulted He Hentian's body relentlessly. At first, He Hentian could bear it, but after a while, he began to scream in agony. It wasn't that he couldn't endure it, but the pain was too much!
On the other side, Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue were also enveloped by the golden light, pained expressions on their faces.
