New and dark light years

Chapter 211 Buddhism and Taoism

Li Lin used stealth techniques to wander through the woods.

Using the paper doll's 'vision', they would occasionally ambush a lone martial arts practitioner in the woods.

Muddy the water.

Even so, he saw several groups of people leaving the 'battlefield' and didn't want to waste their strength in such a place.

After thinking for a moment, Li Lin followed one of the groups of people out.

He was a bit 'darer' than the others.

After all, he was a true stealth fighter; as long as they didn't get too close, those people wouldn't be able to detect him.

After following for a while, he realized that the group he was following was the Zhenwu Sect.

A group of people emerged from the woods and blocked the Qingcheng Sect's rear.

At this moment, the people from the Qingcheng Sect looked extremely grim.

Ji Feng, in particular, is now filled with regret for not listening to An Xin earlier.

He turned sideways, looked around, and asked, "Master Xuanfengzi, as a senior in the martial arts world, what do you mean by blocking our way?"

“I’m less than five years older than you, so I’m not a senior. You can call me brother,” Xuan Fengzi said with a smile.

Ji Feng frowned.

At this moment, Liu Fang spoke up and said, "Sect Leader Xuanfengzi, our master and your sect's Elder Hao are old acquaintances. Our two sects have no grudges against each other. Why do you have to join forces with Shaolin to deal with us?"

"I have no intention of targeting your faction."

"Then what do you mean by this?!"

Master Xuanfengzi laughed and said, "I would like your sect to join us and test the mettle of the Shaolin Sect."

"What if we don't want to?"

"Let's wipe out those bald monks together."

The people from Shaolin Temple remained silent. Master Kurong took out a string of prayer beads from somewhere and began to fiddle with them one by one.

However, they seem to be getting closer to the Qingcheng Sect.

At this moment, Ji Feng suddenly said, "Alright, Sect Leader Xuanfengzi, I am willing to join forces with you, but you must tell me, what exactly is the purpose of this Linglong Jade Box?"

Li Lin was now a little behind the Shaolin Temple. He was already thinking of stabbing someone in the back, but upon hearing this, he immediately took a few steps back.

He also wanted to figure out what was going on.

Why is it that even though I've already left the city, I still attract so many martial arts practitioners?

Xuanfengzi looked towards Shaolin Temple and laughed, "Master Kurong, do you think you can say it?"

The Shaolin monks remained silent, only pressing closer. The Qingcheng Sect members immediately formed a sword formation, creating an extremely tense and volatile atmosphere.

Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from ahead on the official road.

Then they saw An Xin return with the people from Tianyi Sect.

Upon seeing him, Ji Feng was overjoyed and said, "Young Hero An, please support my sect. You will be richly rewarded in the future."

Xuanfengzi looked at An Xin and asked, "Young Master An, why do you have to do this? If you're going to leave, just do it cleanly. Coming back won't be a good thing."

“I’ve thought about it, and I feel I should stay here and watch the show,” An Xin said with a smile. “I have a friend in there, and I won’t feel at ease until I see him out of danger.”

Ji Feng was overjoyed. He felt that the other party was talking about him, but he completely ignored the fact that An Xin had said not long ago that "someone" was the reason for his departure!

At this moment, the Shaolin monks stopped approaching the Qingcheng Sect and even retreated a bit.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Feng led his disciples to the side of Tianyi Sect.

Neither the Zhenwu School nor the Shaolin School made a move.

"Thank you very much." Ji Feng gratefully bowed to An Xin.

An Xin chuckled and said, "I've been secretly investigating these past few days. The news about Yu Linglong initially came from Yu County, which is Shaolin Temple's territory. That's why so many people are willing to believe this rumor."

Master Kurong simply smiled and remained silent. Xuanfengzi, however, scoffed, "I must say, the Buddhist sect is quite adept at handling things."

An Xin looked at Xuan Fengzi and asked, "Sect Leader Xuan Fengzi, what does your Zhenwu Sect know?"

"All we know is that the Shaolin Temple... no, we should say the Buddhist sect, has already pledged allegiance to the King of Qin of Yue County."

The people from Tianyi Sect and Qingcheng Sect both felt they had misheard.

"How is that possible? Isn't the King of Qin a reincarnation of a demon from beyond the realm? Why doesn't Buddhism want to subdue demons and eliminate evil, but instead..." A young girl's voice asked incredulously from the Qingcheng Sect.

The Shaolin Temple remained silent.

Xuanfengzi continued with a disdainful laugh: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! He's just a demon. As long as he shaves his head at the right time, he becomes a true Buddha. One thought can make him a Buddha, and another a demon. Whether he is righteous or evil is up to the Buddhist sect to decide."

Master Kurong murmured a Buddhist chant, then said, "Sect Leader Xuanfengzi, your Taoist sect isn't much better. If it weren't for your secret machinations, things wouldn't have progressed so quickly and smoothly."

Xuanfengzi was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, laughing very happily and wildly.

At this moment, the expressions of the people from Tianyi Sect and Qingcheng Sect were somewhat off.

An Xin's face darkened: "Sect Leader Xuanfengzi, what do you mean by this!"

Ji Feng of the Qingcheng Sect also had a gloomy expression.

Xuanfengzi didn't speak, he just smiled without saying a word, but that smile looked really strange.

Meanwhile, some members of the Zhenwu Sect had somehow managed to flank the Tianyi Sect and the Qingcheng Sect.

Together with Shaolin Temple, they formed a pincer movement.

An Xin then looked in the direction of Shaolin Temple: "I wonder if the master can enlighten us and let us die knowing why?"

Master Kurong remained silent.

Instead, he waved, and the people behind him moved forward.

At this moment, Xuanfengzi suddenly said, "I'll let you die knowing the truth, because you small sects shouldn't get involved in things you shouldn't touch."

"What do you mean!" An Xin was still puzzled.

Ji Feng suddenly realized something: "They won't allow us lowly people to surpass them."

Xuanfengzi nodded slightly: "That's roughly the idea."

Anxin's eyes widened suddenly; he understood.

All kinds of people!

This is the definition used in the martial arts world.

In a prosperous era, the three religions would naturally flourish even more, but now we are in a chaotic world... The nine schools of thought, which are rooted in the common people, have a more vigorous vitality.

An Xin angrily said, "Is this necessary? At a time like this, with chaos in both the north and south, and the Central Plains in ruins, we, the people of the martial world, should be united as one. Why..."

A palm strike interrupted An Xin's words.

He stepped aside, watching Master Kurong slowly withdraw his palm in the distance, his face full of anger.

Xuanfengzi laughed and said, "Bald monk, take them in first, and we can settle our differences another day."

"Easy!" Master Kurong laughed.

At that moment, someone suddenly screamed in agony from behind the Shaolin Temple.

These people are all experts.

The moment someone screamed, I had already looked over.

Then I saw a figure, which suddenly disappeared into the night.

Anxin was suddenly overjoyed.

Master Kurong suddenly turned his head to look at Xuanfengzi of the Zhenwu Sect: "You Taoist... I wasn't sure before, but this is clearly an invisibility technique of your sect. You actually dared to trick me! What else do you have to say?"

"It really wasn't my arrangement." Xuan Fengzi looked constipated, then his expression turned... ferocious.
