Chapter 169 A Plate of Loose Sand (2)

　　As soon as she asked this, Zhang Shuming, Hui Shi, Chen Tong, and Liu Litao also looked over. They were also very curious about the strength of the little Fire Dragon.

　　“It’s almost equivalent to a Heaven Immortal.” Cui Heng smiled.

　　Deva, Heaven Immortal, Heaven Monarch!

　　As the Nine Fire Fire Dragon Technique was only at the initiation level, the Fire Dragon refined was naturally not too strong. It was only at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

　　However, it was enough to deal with those Bodhisattvas and Earth Immortals.

　　Zheng Nanxun, Zhang Shuming, and the others were dumbfounded again.

　　Heaven Immortal!

　　It was actually equivalent to a Heaven Immortal?!

　　As expected of an existence that could be called an Immortal Venerable.

　　This was too ridiculous!

　　….

　　Wang Dongyang’s footsteps were very fast.

　　In less than a day, he brought the other two Human Immortals to Langya County in Yanzhou.

　　As soon as he entered the city, someone from the Wang Family of Langya found him and brought him and two other Human Immortals to the Wang Family’s mansion.

　　The person who made this arrangement was naturally Wang Donglin.

　　This surprised Wang Dongyang.

　　In his impression, Wang Donglin had always been a model freeloader, and he did not pay much attention to etiquette.

　　Even this time, he came to the Lower World to act like an Angel.

　　He did not expect that after not seeing him for two months, he already knew how to send someone to welcome him?

　　“Looks like he still has me in his heart.” Wang Dongyang thought to himself, and his evaluation of Wang Donglin increased by a level.

　　However, when he arrived at the Wang Family’s mansion, he realized that he was wrong.

　　After Wang Donglin saw him, the first thing he asked was, “Big Brother, tell me, what instructions does Exalted Immortal have?”

　　The smile on Wang Dongyang’s face froze.

　　Clearly, Wang Donglin did not welcome him so warmly because of himself.

　　It was because he had come from Fengzhou with Cui Heng’s instructions.

　　Be it warmth or respect, they were all for Cui Heng.

　　“Exalted Immortal wants us to hold a banquet and invite…” Wang Dongyang barely managed to calm down and recounted Cui Heng’s decision and the situation with the Heaven Dew Crystals. In the end, he said in a low voice,” All the Nine Immortal Sects deserve to die!”

　　“They really deserve to die!” Wang Donglin gritted his teeth, his face filled with hatred.

　　He had long reached the Deity Realm. The reason why he had never been able to become a Human Immortal was because the Wang Family of Jiangdong was severely lacking in Heaven Dew Crystals. It was not his turn to advance to the Human Immortal Realm at all.

　　“Normally speaking, it’s impossible for us to fight against the Nine Immortal Sects and the Baolin Buddhist Hall on our own.” Wang Dongyang nodded and said, “It was Exalted Immortal who gave us this opportunity. We have to take it.”

　　“That’s right!” Wang Donglin clenched his fists. “However, even if the Beast Taming Immortal Sect accepts the invitation, they might not be able to attract all the Immortals and Buddhas in the Lower World.

　　“Especially the Baolin Buddhist Hall. It’s already good enough for one or two of the twelve Bodhisattvas to arrive. I plan to add more ingredients to the list.”

　　“What ingredients?” Wang Dongyang asked curiously. He felt that his youngest brother had become much smarter.

　　“Invite the Emperor of the Great Jin!” Wang Donglin sneered and said, “The people from the four Immortal Sects might not care about the Emperor of the Great Jin, but the Buddhists who are focused on preaching are extremely concerned about him.

　　The Baolin Buddhist Hall needs the power of the mortal dynasty to help them promote their sects and give them farmland. Only then can they preach wantonly and develop their believers quickly.

　　As long as Emperor Wei Yi is invited, the Baolin Buddhist Hall will definitely take this banquet very seriously and become more proactive. It’s very likely that there will be a few more Bodhisattvas.”

　　“Good idea, let’s do that!” Wang Dongyang’s eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was also a little puzzled. “But it’s not easy to invite the Emperor of the Great Jin to Langya, right?”

　　“Heh, I have my ways.” Wang Donglin chuckled, but he did not intend to tell Wang Dongyang.

　　….

　　Yuzhou, Golden Light Mountain.

　　Compared to the past, the current Baolin Buddhist Hall could be said to be very deserted.

　　Other than the monks in the monastery, almost no one came.

　　This was all because the Arhat had suddenly died in the temple half a month ago.

　　At that time, many visitors who came to offer incense were frightened.

　　After all, that Arhat was known as the incarnation of Buddha Baolin in the mortal world.

　　Even the incarnation of Buddha could die suddenly, so how could they protect others?

　　In addition, Zen Master Dufa, who had once been heavily promoted by the Baolin Buddhist Hall to recruit believers wantonly, suddenly “died in meditation”, causing the reputation of the Baolin Buddhist Hall to plummet.

　　Many visitors did not want to go.

　　Just like that, the number one holy land of Buddhism in the world became deserted in just half a month.

　　In the past, no one would have believed it.

　　After the 12 Bodhisattvas descended from the Upper World and saw this situation, they initially thought that they had come to the wrong place.

　　After asking the current abbot, Kong Hui, they were finally convinced that this was the Baolin Buddhist Hall.

　　Kong Hui was originally the former abbot of the Baolin Buddhist Hall and one of the nine Divine Monks who lived in seclusion.

　　In terms of seniority, he was Monk Dufa’s Martial Nephew. He had already abdicated decades ago and handed the position of Abbot to his disciple.

　　However, in the past few months, there have been many major events. The abbot felt even more powerless.

　　Finally, after the Bodhisattva Jade Bone appeared and the Arhat descended from the sky, the abbot felt that he could no longer manage the current Baolin Buddhist Hall well, so he took the initiative to ask to step down from the position of abbot.

　　That was indeed the case. At this special time when the 100-year period had arrived, the martial world was no longer as calm as before. Deity Realm experts who were treated as martial arts legends in the past had appeared one after another. They indeed needed a powerful abbot.

　　Hence, the previous abbot, Kong Hui, walked to the front of the stage again and changed from the previous abbot to the current substitute abbot.

　　Not long after, Zen Master Dufa and the Arhat died.

　　Two big pots were placed on Kong Hui’s head.

　　Even the 12 Bodhisattvas were questioning him after they descended. Why did he manage the once number one Buddhist Holy Land in the world into such a state? Faced with this situation, there was only one thing Kong Hui could do.

　　He would try his best to push the blame to Cui Heng.

　　Actually, the sudden death of Arhat Xuankong was very strange. No one knew what was going on.

　　However, to Monk Kong Hui, the truth was not important. It was fine as long as he could get rid of the blame on him.

　　Since Monk Dufa had fallen in Cui Heng’s hands, it should not be a problem for him to blame the death of Bodhisattva Xuankong on him.

　　Unexpectedly, he had hit the nail on the head. Moreover, Cui Heng’s relationship with the Immortal Dawn Sect and Daoyi Palace was almost obvious.

　　Therefore, after the twelve Bodhisattvas understood this situation, they immediately identified Cui Heng as the number one enemy of this Lower World operation.

　　After an entire day of discussion, the twelve Bodhisattvas came up with a strategy to join forces with the four Immortal sects and lead many aristocratic families to first kill Cui Heng, then destroy the Immortal Dawn Sect and finally destroy the Daoyi Palace.

　　Then the next problem was to inform the other forces of this strategy.

　　It would be best if they could find a place to sit down and discuss the details of the operation.

　　Regarding the choice of this place, the meeting hall of the Baolin Buddhist Hall had been arguing for a few days.

　　The reason was very simple. The 12 Bodhisattvas each had their own opinions, and there was no way to unite them.

　　And they were all on the same level as each other. They didn’t even have a nominal leader, so they couldn’t make a decision in a short period of time.

　　That was because the person who made the final decision this time was most likely the person in charge of the operation in the future.

　　This simple negotiation decision was essentially the 12 Bodhisattvas fighting for the right to lead.

　　Naturally, they argued endlessly.

　　However, there were no more arguments in the meeting hall today. The 12 Bodhisattvas’ gazes were all on the substitute abbot, Kong Hui.

　　Monk Kong Hui’s eyes widened, but he still took a deep breath and said, “Bodhisattvas, I just received news that the Wang Family of Langya wants to hold a banquet to discuss the attack.

　　“This banquet is specially held to suppress Cui Heng. It will invite everyone in the world who wants to kill Cui Heng. They have already sent invitations to the various aristocratic families, the five Immortal Sects that have descended to the Lower World, and our Baolin Buddhist Hall.

　　“May I know what you all think?”
