“Master Zhiyuan, have you opened a branch sect?” the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect asked, looking at the mountain gate in the distance with a puzzled expression.
Abbot Zhiyuan really did not want to pay him any attention!
Only you have sharp eyes, only you have a big mouth!
Everyone else is keeping quiet, yet you have so much nonsense to say!
Always trying to show off!
However, these were only Abbot Zhiyuan's inner thoughts; he did not dare to say them out loud.
Just as he was about to speak, a somewhat uncertain but incredibly punchable voice rang out beside him:
“Senior Wang, I think I've been to this place before. If I remember correctly, this used to be the White Stone Sect. The sect master's surname was Han... Han Buwei, I believe...”
“Our Guiyi Sword Sect even bullied him once!”
Everyone's mouths twitched.
Why did it sound like he was proud of bullying someone?
As soon as the Sword Lunatic finished speaking, Abbot Zhiyuan swept a cold gaze over him!
His eyes were filled with warning and threats!
Seeing this gaze, the Great Ancestor of the Danji Sect standing next to the Sword Lunatic shuddered in fear!
Would he be targeted by this old monk?
He will definitely retaliate!
He's not someone to provoke!
However, he did not retreat. Shaking all over, he took a step forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Sword Lunatic!
He intended to face all the consequences together with him!
At the same time, he couldn't help but wail in his heart:
It's over! It's all over!
My wonderful life!
I haven't lived enough yet!
Faced with Abbot Zhiyuan's gaze, the Sword Lunatic was not afraid at all.
With a flick of his beard, he widened his eyes and glared right back!
Since he began cultivating, he had always been invincible within the same realm, and could trade one-for-one against those in higher realms.
He wondered if his early Mahayana Stage cultivation was enough to trade lives with this Half-Immortal old monk!
If he could, he would make a massive profit!
At this thought, the Sword Lunatic even felt a little excited, his entire body trembling slightly.
He almost wanted to shout, “Come on, hit me!”
Everyone was utterly speechless. He was already trembling so hard from fear, yet his eyes still refused to back down!
This guy just had stubborn eyes!
It was even worse than having a stubborn mouth!
As for those who were more familiar with him, like the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor, they were absolutely shocked!
Was this Sword Lunatic insane? He actually wanted to challenge a Half-Immortal!
Hearing the name Han Buwei, Lu Ming was also taken aback.
This Sect Master Han of the White Stone Sect sounded rather familiar!
As his gaze shifted, he suddenly remembered the Sect Master Han in the Central Province who had helped him out with spirit stones and even paid the ransom to the Guiyi Sword Sect.
Could it be him?
That would be a real coincidence!
Seeing the Sword Lunatic's glare, Abbot Zhiyuan was also startled.
Oho... this kid is arrogant!
Then again, he's a sword cultivator, so no wonder...
Sword cultivators are all madmen and fools!
He's already shaking with fear, yet he still dares to provoke this Abbot!
Everyone stared intently at Abbot Zhiyuan!
So your secret realm was actually stolen from someone else, and now you've been exposed...
Feeling everyone's stares, Abbot Zhiyuan decided to give the Sword Lunatic a warning blow to show him his place!
He wanted to let him know that the Ancient Buddha Sect was not an organization he could mess with!
To put it bluntly, did he think he was the Qingshan Sect?
They had the capital to be arrogant, but what did he have to warrant such arrogance...
“Amitabha...”
But before Abbot Zhiyuan could even find an excuse to make trouble, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect suddenly stepped in front of the Sword Lunatic.
“Why are you trying to stop people from telling the truth?”
“You're allowed to snatch someone else's sect, but others aren't allowed to speak the truth?”
Abbot Zhiyuan frowned slightly and looked at the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect.
Could it be that this Guiyi Sword Sect had already attached itself to the Qingshan Sect?
Otherwise, why would this old fossil of the Qingshan Sect protect him?
With these suspicions in mind, Abbot Zhiyuan pressed his palms together and said, “Amitabha. Sect Master Wang, you do not know the inside story. This White Stone Sect was actually offered to our Ancient Buddha Sect by Han Buwei himself!”
“He said his abilities were limited and he could no longer manage it, so he asked the Ancient Buddha Sect to take over...”
“Our Ancient Buddha Sect also couldn't bear to see this place go to waste, so we were forced to take over as a last resort...”
Abbot Zhiyuan looked around as he spoke.
These words were also meant as an explanation for the onlookers!
Everyone was utterly speechless. Like hell we'd believe you...
They had been in the cultivation world for so many years, yet they had never encountered such a good thing!
Abbot Zhiyuan didn't care whether they believed him or not. In any case, he had given his explanation!
If you have the ability, come and beat me up!
Sect Master Wang smacked his lips. “It must have been really hard on your Ancient Buddha Sect!”
“Hmm?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
What was going on?
Was the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect sick?
Abbot Zhiyuan was also completely bewildered!
Since when was the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect so understanding?
Just as he was about to say a few humble words, Sect Master Wang's irritating voice rang out:
“Don't force yourself anymore, and don't make things hard on yourself. Let our Qingshan Sect bear this hardship and suffering!”
“Let the storm rage even harder...”
As he spoke, Sect Master Wang assumed an air of righteousness, looking as if he were generously marching to his death!
Everyone's mouths fell open. When it came to being shameless, one really had to hand it to the Qingshan Sect!
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, Huangpu Haotian, and a few others couldn't help but laugh, rolling their eyes as they tried to hold it in.
It took the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect to deal with this old monk!
Even Lu Ming's mouth twitched. Well, as expected of his Sect Master. He certainly had boldness!
Meanwhile, Ye Fan's face was icy cold. Can these people have some shame!
Is there any point in talking all this nonsense?
Instead of wasting time, wouldn't it be better to cultivate?
Always focusing on useless things!
No wonder they can't get anything done!
A bunch of trash!
At this moment, Abbot Zhiyuan was utterly speechless!
He hadn't expected the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect to take him so literally!
I was just being polite, but you really aren't polite at all...
“Amitabha. As the Buddhist saying goes, ‘If I do not enter hell, who will?’ This suffering is best left to our Ancient Buddha Sect to bear!”
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect raised an eyebrow.
“Good, very good! Master Zhiyuan is indeed compassionate. I, Wang, admire you immensely!”
“I happen to have a few impoverished sects on hand. Why don't I hand them over to you for financial aid as well?”
Abbot Zhiyuan opened his mouth!
He wanted to close it!
But he couldn't!
Oh my Buddha! This bastard is too shameless!
However, things had already come to this. If he refused, it would look bad!
“Fine. When the Ancient Buddha Sect has time, we will definitely provide aid!”
Sect Master Wang smiled and pulled a jade slip from his storage bag!
“There are thirty sects in here that need aid. Take a look first... I will follow up later!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, Huangpu Haotian, and the others all had smiles in their eyes.
They loved watching the old monk lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot!
In one word: satisfying!
In two words: super satisfying!
Helplessly taking the jade slip handed over by Sect Master Wang, Abbot Zhiyuan saw the Sword Lunatic standing behind him, grinning widely.
He was so angry!
It was all because of this damned bastard!
His eyes flickering, he said to Sect Master Wang, “Sect Master Wang, why must you harbor someone who distorts the truth like this?”
Sect Master Wang rolled his eyes. “What do you mean ‘distorts the truth’? This is an outer sect disciple of our Qingshan Sect! Do you even know how to speak?”
“What?”
“An outer sect disciple of the Qingshan Sect?”
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
What was going on?
Was the Qingshan Sect re-entering the world?
They had actually started recruiting outer sect disciples?
