“Abbot Zhiyuan, wait...”
Seeing that Abbot Zhiyuan really seemed about to head to their front gate, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan hurriedly called out to stop him!
“Yes! Abbot Zhiyuan, please calm down!”
“Right, right... We can discuss this and work something out!”
The Second Elder and Third Elder also quickly chimed in to persuade him.
If Abbot Zhiyuan really went to their front gate to cry, make a scene, and hang himself, outsiders who didn't know the truth would think their Ancient God Clan was ruthlessly bullying an old monk!
If word of this got out—no, it definitely would get out—how would other factions look at them? How would the cultivators of the Xuantian Continent view them? How could they ever show their faces in the Xuantian Continent again?
They had never expected this old monk to be so utterly shameless! Indeed, once a person cast aside their shame, they became truly invincible!
Seeing the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan and the others back down, Abbot Zhiyuan's eyes flickered.
“As long as you return our Vajra Bodhi Fruits and compensate us for the protective array, that will be fine. I'm not trying to swindle you. Our protective array was blown up by your Ancestor, and it even contained a wisp of divine sense from the ancient sages and seniors of our Ancient Buddha Sect...”
In truth, he didn't want to do something so humiliating either!
Hearing Abbot Zhiyuan's demands, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan fell silent again.
What if he just didn't want to pay?
Seeing his silence, Abbot Zhiyuan sneered.
“Since Patriarch Han finds it so difficult, I might as well just go take a dump at your front door!”
With that, Abbot Zhiyuan turned to leave!
“I... Hey, hey... Wait! Why are you in such a rush? Can't I at least think about it...”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan hurriedly stepped forward to block Abbot Zhiyuan.
Then, he looked at Abbot Zhiyuan and said, “Abbot Zhiyuan, how about this? Let's find our Ancestor first. After all, this is currently just your side of the story. If our Ancestor really did pluck your Vajra Bodhi Fruits, we will definitely return them to you...”
Abbot Zhiyuan recalled the silly ancestor of the Ancient God Clan crying thief to catch a thief, and he couldn't help but frown.
He doubted that fool would ever admit to it!
However, the most important thing right now was to find that fool. In case the fool ruined their Vajra Bodhi Fruits, they wouldn't even have a place to cry!
As for everything else, they would deal with it after finding him! If they couldn't find him, everything would be in vain!
At that thought, Abbot Zhiyuan nodded.
“Fine!”
Hearing Abbot Zhiyuan agree, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If their Ancestor really had stolen the Vajra Bodhi Fruits, they would just return them! But if he hadn't, the Ancient Buddha Sect could forget about falsely accusing them. Even if the old monk went and hung himself at their front gate, he wouldn't pay a single cent!
Subsequently, the members of both factions began to deploy people to search for Ye Fan!
After the members of the Ancient God Clan left the Ancient Buddha Sect, Abbot Zhiyuan looked at Wang Defa and Big Yellow.
“Are you two truly sincere about taking refuge in our Buddha?”
He was busy right now and had no time to waste on these two. If they were willing to convert, he would accept them.
“No, no... Abbot, I've realized that my mortal ties are not yet severed! I am not suited to become a monk!” Wang Defa waved his hands repeatedly.
“Hmm?”
Abbot Zhiyuan frowned, looking at Wang Defa and the dog with suspicion.
You weren't like this earlier!
Right then, Big Yellow also spoke up:
“Abbot, my mortal ties aren't severed either. I'm not suited to be a dog monk!”
Abbot Zhiyuan choked. I suspect you are fucking insulting me on purpose!
Since the Vajra Bodhi Fruits were missing, Abbot Zhiyuan was already in a terrible mood. He directly ordered:
“Throw them out!”
Shortly after, the man and the dog were thrown out by Zhiku!
“Sheesh... Why did he get so angry and kick us out?”
“Exactly...”
Wang Defa and Big Yellow grumbled to themselves as they left the Ancient Buddha Sect!
After they left, Abbot Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light. He turned to a disciple at the Mahayana stage and ordered:
“Go, follow them and keep an eye out...”
He wanted to know if these two had some conspiracy in coming to the Ancient Buddha Sect. Did the loss of the Vajra Bodhi Fruits have anything to do with them?
After leaving the Ancient Buddha Sect, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan quickly sent sound transmissions to the Ancient Emperor and the others.
He informed them that their Ancestor had suffered a mental episode recently, telling them to guard their respective treasures closely! He was terrified! He was terrified that their Ancestor would go and cause havoc in other factions!
With trembling hands, he even sent a sound transmission to the Grand Elder of the Qingshan Sect.
He begged the Grand Elder of the Qingshan Sect that if their Ancestor went to wreak havoc there, they must absolutely not beat him to death!
If their Ancestor caused trouble for other factions, they might just have to compensate them with some items. But if he went to the Qingshan Sect and got beaten to death... He wouldn't even have a place to cry!
When the Ancient Emperor and the others received the Patriarch's sound transmission, they were all utterly bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
Only after asking around did they find out that the silly ancestor of the Ancient God Clan had suffered a mental episode and stolen the Ancient Buddha Sect's Vajra Bodhi Fruits. Upon hearing this news, several ancient powers even activated their protective arrays!
Only Man Yu of the Ancient Barbarian Clan looked thrilled. Not only did she not activate any protective array, but she even prayed that the silly ancestor of the Ancient God Clan would come to their clan to cause some trouble!
That way, she could make a tidy sum of money!
Man Xiong said in a booming voice, “Sister, why go through all that trouble? Why don't you just tell the Ancient God Clan that their silly ancestor already stole from us!”
Man Yu's eyes lit up. “Not bad! You went out once, and your brain actually started working!”
Man Xiong scratched his head sheepishly.
“Hehe... Sister, didn't I learn this from Brother Huang and the others?”
Man Yu, who was a full head taller than Man Xiong, nodded in satisfaction.
“Hmm... Those friends of yours are actually quite decent. At least they don't scam you!”
Since her younger brother had gone out once and returned with quite a lot of resources in his storage bag, what did that prove? It proved that his friends were good people. It also meant that their Ancient Barbarian Clan might have successfully clung to the thigh of the Qingshan Sect!
At this thought, the smile on Man Yu's face grew even wider!
Immediately, she pulled out her sound transmission jade token and messaged the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan directly:
“Old Man Chu, your Ancestor stole my Ancient Barbarian Clan's clan-stabilizing treasure! Hurry up and compensate us... Return it to me! Oh, and he also injured my brother, so pay up for medical expenses!!”
“Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! I'll block your front gate directly!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, who had just finished sending his sound transmission to the Grand Elder of the Qingshan Sect, nearly dropped the talisman in his hand upon hearing Man Yu's message!
Was the speed at which their Ancestor caused trouble a bit too fast?
Then, a thought struck him.
He quickly replied to Man Yu: “Man Yu, when did our Ancestor steal from your clan??”
Man Yu's eyes darted around as she replied, “Just now! He beat up my brother and ran away!!”
“We are heading over right now! If you see our Ancestor, please help coax him... Oh right, you can try using candied hawthorns!!” the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan replied in a hurry.
Man Yu was also stunned to hear the Patriarch's reply.
Why was he coming over? She had just told him that Man Xiong was beaten up and injured by their Ancestor!!
Man Yu looked at Man Xiong with a conflicted expression.
“Man Xiong, there's a great opportunity to make big money right now!”
Man Xiong widened his eyes. “Sister, you aren't going to beat me up to make me look injured, are you?”
“Don't worry, I'll go easy on you!”
“Thud! Thud!” “Ouch, ouch, ouch...”
...
When the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan arrived at the Barbarian Clan, he saw the tall Man Yu holding ten skewers of candied hawthorns in her large hand.
Before the Patriarch could even speak, Man Yu took the initiative to yell:
“Old Man Han, you liar! Your Ancestor doesn't even eat candied hawthorns! He already ran away!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan froze. Then, he remembered that their Ancestor didn't seem to like eating candied hawthorns lately!
Oh, goodness... I was too busy being angry just now and completely forgot about that!
