Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 338

Hongyun knew she couldn't go too far, but she couldn't quell her anger without making Jieyin feel uncomfortable. She kicked Zhunti several times before finally speaking:

"These three strange insects were stolen from my disciple by you, and this is merely their return. Now let's talk about compensation."

"What compensation?" Jieyin stared wide-eyed at Hongyun as if he were a robber.

Hongyun sneered, conjured a chair with magic, and sat down in front of Jieyin, looking at his disheveled state: "I'm a madman. Back then, even the Dao Ancestor couldn't stop me from beating you, and now even the Heavenly Dao can't stop me."

"Anyway, I am a saint, immortal and indestructible. At worst, I'll be punished by the Heavenly Dao and lose a realm, but with you by my side, it's not bad."

Jieyin's eyes grew increasingly terrified, for he realized that Hongyun was serious. Hongyun actually wanted to exchange injuries for injuries?

Hongyun began to make demands: "Huiyu has suffered such severe injuries, will you provide some medicinal herbs or magical artifacts to help Zhenyuan's disciple recover as quickly as possible?"

The guide nodded through gritted teeth.

Hongyun continued, "In order to remove the mark you placed on Huiyu's primordial spirit, I removed a Rebirth Lotus Seed. Shouldn't you exchange it for a magic treasure of equal value?"

Jieyin was in an even worse predicament now. A magic weapon of equal value would be the death of him.

The little wealth he painstakingly accumulated, which he didn't even share with his apprentices, is now about to be robbed.

Jieyin's eyes flickered; Buddhism couldn't afford to completely break ties with Wuzhuang Temple yet. In terms of strength, Buddhism was indeed inferior to Wuzhuang Temple. Even if it were a desperate fight, it would most likely result in mutual destruction.

The enemy of Wuzhuang Temple should be the Chan Sect. Buddhism should stay in the shadows and reap the benefits, and it is not worth fighting to the death with Wuzhuang Temple.

Once the Heavenly Dao defeats Hongjun, Wuzhuang Temple will pose no threat whatsoever. At that time, he will surely settle both old and new scores.

Jieyin held his breath and nodded once more.

"I've heard that you have a Bodhi tree in the West. I'll take it with me later." This time, Hongyun didn't just let him nod and go. Instead, she directly stated the compensation.

Upon hearing this, Jieyin coughed up another mouthful of blood: "Cough cough~ You've gone too far!"

Zhunti was originally a manifestation of the innate Geng metal Bodhi tree. After being severely injured and dying, he transformed into his original form and guarded the West in the shape of a Bodhi tree.

This Bodhi tree not only connects to the western earth veins and is a treasure of the west, but it is also his sworn brother. Hongyun is blatantly humiliating him, and he wants the entire prehistoric world to witness it!

"How am I going too far? You caused the tragic death of my disciple, and now I'm just asking for an inanimate object as compensation. How is that going too far?" Hongyun raised his voice, looking angry and ready to fight.

"The Bodhi tree, absolutely not!" Jieyin's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Remembering the difference in strength between him and Hongyun, he simply closed his eyes and waited for Hongyun to make his move. At worst, he would drop a cultivation level; with Hongyun by his side, although he would suffer, it wouldn't be a loss.

In short, as long as he lives, the Bodhi tree cannot be moved, and no one can.

"Okay, let's choose another one!"

"What treasures do you think you possess that can compare to the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and the Bodhi Tree?"

Jieyin is pitifully poor, and he's been hiding things away. Hongyun really doesn't know what good stuff Jieyin has. If he can't come out, then let him just take it out himself.

"I...I have fragments of the Chaos Pearl." Jieyin hesitated for a moment before speaking with a pained expression.
