Chapter 647 Hunting (5)
Zhenjun Liexu is the first disciple of Qiuzi. He accompanied and assisted Qiuzi in establishing the Hunyuan Luotian Sect and has worked hard until today. Now he is the de facto leader of the Hunyuan Luotian Sect and a powerful being above the thirty-third level of True Immortal.
He is also the master of Master Luo Yun and the ancestor mentioned by Fairy Luoshui!
After countless years of practice, True Lord Liexu has recruited many disciples, including true disciples, outer disciples, and nominal disciples. But today, when the Hunyuan Luotian Sect is at its peak of fame and prestige, there are only three people left who can stay with him!
Among the three remaining true disciples, Zhenjun Luo Yun ranks second!
Therefore, True Lord Luo Yun had a fierce fight with the two Bodhisattvas, and Fairy Luoshui urgently sent out a letter asking for help. True Lord Liexu immediately brought a large group of trusted masters from Hunyuan Luotian Sect to reinforce.
While he was scolding, the 360 True Immortals behind True Lord Liexu simultaneously held up large star-patterned flags and waved them vigorously. Rays of starlight shuttled in all directions, like countless fireworks blooming in the sky, immediately covering the 30,000-li clear and bright void.
Dozens of rare and precious artifacts flew out from the sleeves of several powerful True Immortals, and were embedded in the large net formed by starlight with a clanging sound.
A huge formation that imprisoned time and space, sealed off the void, isolated sound, and had extremely strong sealing power was formed in just a few breaths, completely eliminating the possibility of the two Bodhisattvas, or their accompanying Buddhist practitioners, or Han Guangjun and others sending out distress signals and attracting the intervention of the great Buddhist powers.
Wude and Wenxian stopped at the same time and retreated quickly.
Bodhisattva Wenxian said in a clear voice: "Master Liexu has come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me. Please forgive me... Why are you making such a big scene? Could it be that Master Liexu wants to keep me and my fellow monk here?"
Liexu Zhenjun nodded with a fake smile: "If the two Bodhisattvas are willing to stay at my humble abode for thirty to fifty thousand years, that would be great!"
Without waiting for Wu De and Wen Xian to reply, Master Liexu said in a cold voice: "Below our sect's mountain gate, there is a very dangerous place called Jiuyin Gorge, which contains countless wronged souls and boundless evil spirits... The two Bodhisattvas have boundless Buddhist teachings and a compassionate heart. We ask the two Bodhisattvas to sit in Jiuyin Gorge, eliminate the evil souls, and save the evil spirits... On the day of success, our sect is willing to give you three top-grade immortal crystals as a reward!"
Wude and Wenxian's faces twitched.
Enthalpy Guangjun and Yufeng Dapeng also had a twitch in their faces - this True Lord Liexu is worthy of being the actual helmsman of a major sect under the Dao Court. His face and words are not worse than those of the two Bodhisattvas.
Jiuyinjian is the prison where Hunyuan Luotian Sect punishes its members who have committed crimes and imprisons its enemies. The wronged souls and evil spirits in it are all created by Hunyuan Luotian Sect... No decent person would think of putting themselves in that hellish place.
Let the two Bodhisattvas go there to liberate the evil spirits?
Was it Liexu who wanted to imprison the two Bodhisattvas in Jiuyin Gorge as punishment?
The so-called reward for liberating all wronged souls and evil spirits is three top-grade immortal crystals?
Well, immortal crystals are like spirit crystals from the lower realms. They are the most common resources for cultivation and are also the common equivalents popular among immortals!
However, three high-quality immortal crystals can probably exchange for enough resources for two or three months of cultivation for those True Immortals of the first and second heavens who have just condensed their True Immortal status.
But for the two Bodhisattvas who have at least condensed the status of a True Immortal above the 30th Heaven, the value of these three top-grade immortal crystals is probably equivalent to the mundane world. You throw three copper coins to a rich man...
It has no real value, it's just an insult!
Bodhisattva Wenxian said coldly: "Master Liexu, have you thought it through?"
True Lord Liexu nodded vigorously and pointed at Lu Yi casually: "What else? If the two Bodhisattvas hand over this thief bald man, and the boatload of little bald donkeys, to our sect for disposal, the two Bodhisattvas and the group of wind-riding rocs can naturally leave safely."
With a broken arm, covered in blood and looking pale, True Lord Luo Yun staggered back to True Lord Liexu and bowed deeply to him with a face full of shame: "Master, I have brought shame upon you!"
True Lord Liexu smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and handed over an elixir: "Recover your limbs first, then talk about other things... Embarrassing? Where is it embarrassing ? Two thieves with higher cultivation than you joined forces, and you were able to hold on for so long, which is enough to show that our sect's Taoism is boundless and our magical powers are exquisite... It's embarrassing that the thieves who have been unable to suppress and kill you for such a long time!"
Zhenjun Luo Yun took the elixir, swallowed it in one gulp, and his complexion quickly returned to its rosy color.
Behind True Lord Liexu, his eldest disciple True Lord Queshan and third disciple True Lord Kanli were surrounded by immortal light. They both held a sword in their right hand and a meteor hammer and a measuring ruler in their left hand respectively, and walked slowly forward.
True Lord Queshan has a ruddy face and a tall stature. Every move he makes carries a terrifying aura that makes people tremble with fear, as if the sky is collapsing.
The immortal light around Kanli Zhenjun was dynamic and unpredictable. With every step he took, seven different colors of spiritual fire surged and vibrated around him. When he opened and closed his eyes, countless sparks splashed and turned into a circle of beautiful images of flaming wintersweets around him.
Now there are only these three true disciples left under the tutelage of True Lord Liexu.
Among the three disciples, Zhenjun Luo Yun ranked second, but he was good at alchemy, talismans, and economic management. Therefore, he became the master of the Reward Hall of Hunyuan Luotian Sect. Disciples who made meritorious services were rewarded with top-grade elixirs and talismans, many of which were made by him personally.
He focused his attention on miscellaneous studies. Among his three fellow disciples, Zhenjun Luo Yun had the lowest cultivation and the weakest combat power.
And True Lord Queshan is best at subduing demons and fighting with magic. His methods are ruthless and merciless. The Punishment Hall of Hunyuan Luotian Sect is under his direct control.
Kanli Zhenjun was born with the Kanli Dao body, and was good at controlling all spiritual fires and immortal fires. Once, Yihuizi personally took action to collect various fires from the upper realm for him, wishing him to enter the Dao and practice. Therefore, Kanli Zhenjun's cultivation is slightly inferior to Queshan Zhenjun, but his lethality is far superior to Queshan Zhenjun.
Especially, Master Kanli comprehended the profound principles of 'gathering and dispersing invisibly' and 'sparks of stars' from various flames. It can be said that when gathered, they take shape, and when dispersed, they become gas. And as long as the sparks of stars exist, they can live forever... Therefore, it is extremely difficult to cause harm to him with ordinary magic spells!
In terms of combat power, True Lord Queshan is roughly equivalent to four to five True Lords Luoyun.
In terms of lethality, True Lord Kanli is at least equivalent to twelve True Lords Luoyun.
The two great masters came out together, and Wude and Wenxian's faces became extremely serious. Bodhisattva Wenxian looked at Master Liexu and said coldly: "Master, do you really want to slaughter my Buddhist disciples? You are a senior, and such means are too mean, too cruel, too ruthless, and too cruel!"
Liexu Zhenjun smiled calmly, and continued to point at Lu Yi and said with a smile: "Despicable, vicious, ruthless, cruel? I am very proud that you can say such words... Today, Fahai must be brought to justice, and you can't stop him... All these Buddhist thieves and bald men brought by Fahai must die... Well, perhaps, you two can try to see if you can defeat me?"
True Lord Liexu laughed loudly, and behind him, seventeen true immortals with a sinister aura appeared.
Apart from the 360 True Immortals who set up the formation, these 17 True Immortals were all disciples and grandchildren of True Lord Liexu. Moreover, they were all the most powerful characters among True Lord Liexu's disciples and grandchildren, and were the most skilled in fighting magic and formations.
Apart from being poor at speaking and bickering with others, these seventeen true immortals are all qualified to be awarded the title of "Bodhisattva" in Buddhism.
True Lord Liexu came well prepared, and Wude and Wenxian were clearly at a disadvantage.
Bodhisattva Wude suddenly spoke up: "Your Excellency, aren't you afraid that your behavior will damage the relationship between our Buddhist sect and the Dao Court?"
Liexu Zhenjun looked at Wude Bodhisattva in surprise: "Wude, you can actually speak today? Well... this Fahai demon monk must die, no one can save him. As for the friendship between Buddhism and Taoism? Haha..."
Liexu Zhenjun said proudly: "You two are not qualified to take on such a big tiger skin!"
Wude and Wenxian chanted the Buddha's name at the same time.
Wen Xian said in a deep voice: "So, the True Lord has entered the devil's way..."
Liexu Zhenren smiled slightly and shook his head without comment. The Buddhist sect is good at putting the blame on others and then exorcising demons. But in today's situation, what's the point of you Wude and Wenxian putting the blame on others?
Liexu Zhenren looked at Luoshui Fairy lovingly and said calmly, "Luoshui girl, go and capture the Fahai demon monk yourself and kill the group of thieves on the treasure ship... This credit should be yours, it is yours, all the elders, help you!"
Fairy Luoshui smiled like a flower, and happily bowed to Master Liexu repeatedly. Then she took out a shining fairy sword, took small steps, and walked towards Lu Yi with a smile.
Among the seventeen true immortals, four followed the Fairy Luoshui.
The presence of four Bodhisattva-level powerful beings made Han Guangjun's eyes bulge out, and he subconsciously let out a long, sharp howl.
He pulled out a spare halberd and said in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, form a battle array... The Hunyuan Luotian Sect has gone too far. Today, we must die without retreat!"
About three hundred wind-controlling pengs struggled to rise up and formed a defensive formation around Han Guangjun.
Wude and Wenxian shouted in unison and rushed towards the two True Lords Queshan and Kanli.
Fairy Luoshui looked at Han Guangjun and his group, whose faces were distorted and who wanted to fight to the death, and then turned to look at the two True Lords and two Bodhisattvas who were in fierce battle.
This battle ended very quickly. After only three of the four men crossed each other, Wenxian Bodhisattva's chest was sunken and he was vomiting blood. Wude Bodhisattva's half body was wrapped in three-colored flames, burning with a sizzling sound and emitting burning blood plasma from his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the two great Bodhisattvas were seriously injured.
True Lord Queshan frowned: "Wu De, Wen Xian, what are you doing? With your cultivation level, how come you were defeated so quickly today?"
Zhenjun Kanli also looked at Bodhisattva Wude with a look of doubt.
Decades ago, the two had a small fight over a conflict caused by their disciples.
That time, Master Kanli had a slight advantage, but it was only a slight advantage. But today, Bodhisattva Wude was defeated cleanly and neatly, and the strength he showed was not even one tenth of what he had decades ago!
Bodhisattva Wenxian laughed miserably, with blood flowing out of his seven orifices: "Today's reasoning is beyond words. We Buddhists are always right... You, the Hunyuan Luotian Sect, are going too far, too far!"
With a loud bang, the sound of Sanskrit filled the sky and lotus flowers bloomed one after another in the void.
From all directions, layers of Buddha's light rose like flames, tightly enveloping the clear and bright void within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
At a glance, more than a hundred Buddhist Bodhisattvas appeared together, each with a subtle smile on their face, looking at Master Liexu calmly across the starlight array.
In front of these hundreds of Bodhisattvas, a green-haired lion roared angrily. Monk Yuanjue sat cross-legged on it, sneering at True Lord Liexu.
