The Demon Young Master and others were still staying at the Ziwei Huan, and Qiao Baixuan wouldn’t possibly co to this side, so there was only one possibility left, soone from Cuige Town had finally entered the inheritance relics.
The sealing of the Stone Chamber had begun before Qing Yu arrived, and after waiting only a little over a minute, the Stone Chamber stopped rotating, and the Stone Gate rose.
Inside the Stone Chamber, where the passage had just been reopened, two people were fighting.
"Young Master Zhao, help !" Bie Pengyue shouted imdiately upon seeing Qing Yu.
Among the two people fighting, one was Bie Pengyue of the Sword Palace. At this mont, Bie Pengyue was in a dangerous state, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, having sustained serious injuries.
His opponent was a monk dressed in light yellow robes, around thirty-odd years old, stout-built, with fists and feet like steel; when Bie Pengyue’s sword struck his hand, it could spark.
Upon seeing Qing Yu, the monk’s expression also changed.
Yesterday’s swift defeat of Li Qiuran by Qing Yu had left a deep impression on those present. The monk was an observer and naturally knew how formidable Qing Yu was.
Therefore, the big monk sent Bie Pengyue retreating with a punch and fled towards another passage.
"Think you can escape?"
Qing Yu pressed the chanism, "Eternal Brightness" unsheathed, his body swift as a beam of light, covering a considerable distance in an instant. The sword that had slain Li Qiuran reappeared.
The monk knew the power of that sword, so when Qing Yu’s "Eternal Brightness" ca at him, he turned and raised his arms vertically to protect his chest, neck, and head.
"Vajra Unconquerable."
With a loud shout, the monk’s body shone with a golden light, like it was cast from gold, clearly employing so sort of hard skill.
By then, Qing Yu was upon him, "Eternal Brightness" slashing down on the monk’s vertically raised arms, expecting to sever both the arms and neck.
However...
"Kaz——"
A grating sound erupted, "Eternal Brightness" cutting through muscle like cutting through steel, but that wasn’t a concern for Qing Yu, not even real steel could block this sword.
"Eh?"
Qing Yu cried out in surprise; the monk had trained his hard skill deep into his bones, his bones were harder than anticipated, even for the sharpness of "Eternal Brightness," they severely resisted the cut.
Just as he was about to gather more True Qi and intensify the flow, the monk let out another loud shout. His golden light intensified, and the surging power collided with Qing Yu.
Qing Yu subconsciously utilized "Innate Gang Qi," Extre Yin Gang Qi to divert the force and Supre Yang Gang Qi to rebound, sending back even stronger force than the monk had discharged.
"Boom——"
The monk was imdiately sent flying by the rebounding Gang Qi.
But that was his aim.
Although the fight seed lengthy, it actually occurred in the blink of an eye. As Qing Yu cut down the monk, he stepped into the Star Map’s range, causing the Stone Chamber’s chanism to activate once more.
By sending the monk flying, Qing Yu had inadvertently helped him to escape the Stone Chamber.
After he was cast out, the Stone Gate thunderously fell, obstructing Qing Yu’s pursuit.
Qing Yu dusted off the non-existent dust from "Eternal Brightness" and placed it back into the Sword Box, then turned to Bie Pengyue and asked, "Who was that monk?"
Before Qing Yu’s arrival, Bie Pengyue was at a disadvantage in the battle with the unidentified monk, asking Qing Yu for help, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, already wounded.
That was very abnormal.
Don’t look at how Bie Pengyue acted like a fanatical fan in front of Yuan Jianyi, his strength was certainly not weak. Even if not on par with young paragons like Qing Yu and Jianyi, he was not soone an unnad monk could compare to.
This inheritance dispute, the Buddhist community only had Shi Yi as a high-level master, the rest were from smaller Buddhist Temples and could be considered weak.
However, out of this group of weaklings, there erged a combatant chicken, beating Bie Pengyue, a true disciple of the Sword Palace, so much that he couldn’t hold his head up high.
"I don’t know," Bie Pengyue wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, shaking his head. "This monk attacked on sight; his moves were so powerful that he resisted my sword with sheer force, his hard skill is certainly exceptional. However, judging from his shout of ’Vajra Unconquerable’ during his defense, he should be practicing the Esoteric Martial Arts of the Great Zen Temple’s Vajra Lineage."
"Wait, what did you say? Vajra Unconquerable?" Qing Yu asked, his voice rising slightly.
When the monk blocked the sword earlier, he had raised his arms to cover his mouth, so Qing Yu didn’t catch what he said, and only now after hearing Bie Pengyue did he understand what kind of hard skill the monk used.
’Esoteric Sect.’ Qing Yu was sure in his heart.
Having received the insights of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, Qing Yu also knew quite a bit about Esoteric Buddhist Studies.
The Unconquerable Vajra Ming King, one of the Eight Great Dharma Protecting Ming Kings of the Esoteric Sect. The na ’Vajra Unconquerable’ should surely be derived from the Unconquerable Vajra Ming King.
With that, the identity of the monk had so explanation. Was it a coincidence that he obtained the Esoteric Martial Arts, or was he a descendant left in the Central Plains after the Esoteric Sect’s past failure, or perhaps, was he part of the Esoteric Sect dispatched from Overseas to the Central Plains?
Three possibilities; if it was the first or second, there’d be nothing much to it. If it’s the third, the Central Plains might face a resurgence of conflict.
Zen Sect is currently the mainstream Buddhist Studies in the Central Plains; most Buddhist Temples are Zen practitioners, and if the Esoteric Sect wanted to co back to the Central Plains, it would undoubtedly encroach on the Zen Sect’s territory.
And the Zen Sect, of course, would not let a bunch of defeated rivals return. When that happens, a fierce battle would be inevitable.
"Young Master Zhao, Young Master Zhao..."
"Mhm, what is it?" Qing Yu ca back to his senses and asked.
"Why are you here? When the anomaly occurred, I even went to inform you in your room, but there was no one there," Bie Pengyue said.
"That’s the thing..."
Qing Yu explained he was ditating and practicing Martial Arts overnight. Due to the special nature of his Cultivation Technique, he sensed the anomaly in Primordial Energy earlier and went out to find the source. Unexpectedly, he found the Demon Young Master and others entering the inheritance relics, and in pursuit, he entered the relics a mont earlier.
Well, the discovery of the anomaly’s source was delayed by a few hours. Thus, Bie Pengyue didn’t know that Qing Yu had discovered the inheritance was about to start ahead of schedule hours earlier, yet did not inform the people of Sword Palace but chose to go boating and filling in the lake with Qiao Baixuan instead.
"Since you’re here, Senior Brother Yuan must have also entered. In that case, let’s walk and look for traces of Brother Yuan and et up with him," Qing Yu proposed.
Bie Pengyue naturally nodded repeatedly.
Not to ntion that he was already a fanatical fan of Yuan Jianyi, the battle with the unknown monk just then had knocked his confidence.
This place is truly dangerous!
That was Bie Pengyue’s most direct feeling at the mont. Therefore, he naturally wanted to find a Brother Yuan who could give him a sense of security.
At this mont, the Stone Gate had just shut, with so ti before it would open again, so Bie Pengyue imdiately began to ditate and recuperate.
While Qing Yu, looked up to see how many Stone Chambers had people in them.
