Chapter 807 Doubts
Li Ming didn't have to wait too long in the meditation room, as the abbot in robes had already arrived.

Li Ming opened his eyes and took a look, and immediately found that his abbot's cultivation had improved and he was already a master of the Grandmaster level. After taking a closer look, he immediately realized that this was probably due to his own contribution. He estimated that after practicing the "Infinite Fist Sutra" that he had asked Uncle Fa Zheng to send back, the abbot had reached a higher level with his solid foundation.

However, the monks of Guangde Temple were indeed very low-key, and Abbot Dingshan seldom moved around in the martial arts world. Even though his cultivation had improved, no news had been spread, and he had not made a big fuss to invite fellow monks to celebrate, so no news had leaked out at all.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." The abbot raised one palm in front of his chest and bowed slightly.

With his level of cultivation, he couldn't even see through the person in front of him, so most of his doubts about this person were gone.

Li Ming smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."

The old abbot still had a pair of white eyebrows, and looked no different from what he remembered.

At this time, Wang Dong asked, "Is there nothing wrong with Guangde Temple?"

Fa Yan, who was standing beside the abbot, lowered his voice and said, "This is Wang Dong, the disciple of the Sanhe Gang leader."

Abbot Dingshan nodded to indicate that he understood, then said, "There were two visitors late at night, but we drove them away, and things have been much quieter since then."

Li Ming smiled secretly in his heart and finally understood.

"The monks of Guangde Temple ignore the secular world and focus on hard training. Master Fazheng achieved Xiantian status a few months ago. At that time, in order to prevent a counterattack from the Dongfang family, they did not publicize it and kept it as a trump card. They also asked Master Fazheng to bring back the "Infinite Fist Sutra". By analogy, Master Fangzhan has greatly improved his cultivation and has become a master of the Grandmaster level. So, the Guangde Temple, which nominally had only one Xiantian, actually has two, and one of them is a Grandmaster. Therefore, Ghost Face and Phantom Wolf were defeated here. Just when the news from Wang Dong got out, the two of them came together, wanting to eliminate me as well. Who knew that I was more skilled than him."

Of course, Ghost Face and Youlang went there not only to kill Wang Dong, but also to subdue this unknown innate master, and then infuse Xue Long with the demon soul to enhance the strength of the Xue family army. Unexpectedly, they encountered the unreasonable Li Ming and were killed in one move.

Although Xue Long has mastered the Ten Thousand Demons Pearl, he cannot create something out of nothing. Everything must have a foundation. Warriors below the innate level cannot withstand the power of the demon soul and can only train their own soldiers in a way similar to infection. If they really want to release the demon soul, they must have the innate body of an innate warrior. The four great generals under his command all came from this way.

He had planned to defeat them one by one, starting from Guangde Temple, and subdue the three major forces of Sanhe Gang, Li Family, and Guangde Temple one by one. However, unexpectedly, Guangde Temple, which looked the weakest, was actually the strongest, causing Guimian and Youlang to return empty-handed.

Li Ming still doesn't understand the deep reason behind this at the moment, but except for the fact that the Ten Thousand Demons Pearl can infuse the innate warriors of the human race with demon souls, the other things he deduced are basically the same.

Li Ming's mind turned, and then he said: "It seems that we have also encountered those two uninvited guests."

Wang Dong realized something at this point, so he said, "I did intercept some information about the Xue family's army hiding spies in our Sanhe Gang. I speculated that they were going to make a move against the major sects, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. They also probably didn't anticipate the unfathomable strength of Abbot Dingshan. Later, when they were descending the mountain, they happened to run into us and were killed by Senior Li."

Abbot Dingshan fiddled with his rosary beads and chanted a Buddhist chant, saying, "The people are suffering so much. The situation in Yunzhou is now devastating, and the sins of killing are so severe. How could the people be blamed for this?"

Li Ming was moved by Abbot Dingshan's sentiments. Indeed, the current situation in Yunzhou was critical, and Xue Long must be plotting something monstrous. Action must be taken quickly to stop Xue Long's actions. This wasn't just to maintain Daxia's rule, but for the people of Yunzhou.

He and Wang Dong had traveled through many towns, now in ruins. In the catastrophe that had swept across Yunzhou, the people had suffered the most. Following Xue Long, Wang Dong had hoped to find a good meal, but the opposite had happened. While Xue Long allowed his elite core troops to enjoy the best food and drink, the refugees were left truly homeless, reduced to lifeless husks in the heavy snow.

It seems that Xue Long is not a good guy, not to mention that the four generals under his command have strange methods and do not seem like warriors at all.

"Master Abbot, we cannot sit idly by and watch the situation in Yunzhou." Li Ming said in a deep voice.

Abbot Dingshan nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Your Excellency is right. Although Guangde Temple does not care about worldly affairs, we should do our part in facing such a disaster."

Wang Dong also clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Although I am not talented, I am willing to contribute to the people of Yunzhou. The most urgent task is to stabilize the major factions first. We must not let Xue Long defeat us one by one. Otherwise, even if we eliminate the rebels, those people will not be able to come back."

Li Ming knew he was referring to his master, Lei Biao, leader of the Sanhe Gang, so he smiled and said, "As it should be. They suffered a setback at Guangde Temple, and I wiped out two of their generals in one fell swoop. Their strength has been weakened, so they shouldn't make any moves in the short term. This gives us time to make our own arrangements."

"In that case, we need to make a detailed plan." Li Ming said, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Abbot Dingshan and Wang Dong both agreed. They knew that facing a strong enemy like Xue Long, they must be fully prepared.

"First of all, we need to understand Xue Long's strength and movements." Li Ming continued.

Abbot Dingshan said, "Although Guangde Temple doesn't get involved in the underworld, we do have some old friends. I can try to contact them and see if I can get more information."

After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke: "There is one more thing I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Li Ming said, "Master Abbot, just tell me."

Abbot Dingshan sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that ghost face seems to be Donor Hu."

"What is Donor Hu?" Wang Dong asked.

Ding Shan then said, "It's an old friend of mine, Hu Bugu from the Wanhua Sword Sect. Although he's wearing a mask, his physical features remain unchanged. However, his inner energy has completely changed, which is why I can't confirm it. After all, changing cultivation to the Xiantian realm is extremely risky and time-consuming, so it's not worth the effort."

"Oh?" Li Ming murmured, "Master, are you sure?"

Ding Shan nodded and said, "I won't admit my mistake. Besides, Donor Hu was recently called up to fight against Xue Long. However, that battle was extremely brutal, and no one escaped alive."

Li Ming's doubts deepened, but he could only say, "It seems this matter is more troublesome than I thought."
