Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 425 Questioning
After Lü Yang followed the Demon-Slaying Immortal and flew out on his escape light, he soon saw a large crowd gathered outside the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate.

The leader was an old man.

He had a wrinkled face and a hunched back, but he was wearing a monk's robe and holding a string of prayer beads in his hand. He stood quietly in the center of the crowd.

'.Explanation and revision. '

Lu Yang's heart stirred slightly, but he quickly shook his head, seeing through the old man's background. He knew that the old man had only practiced a few Buddhist techniques and recited a few Buddhist scriptures, and had not been recognized by the Pure Land. There were many such rogue cultivators in the world, but they were completely different from true Buddhist cultivators.

'However, he's even bolder than Zhen Shixiu.'

Looking at the old man and the crowd behind him, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh: What are a group of rogue cultivators with no background trying to do by gathering in front of the Sword Pavilion gate?
It's the opposite!

"No, that's not quite right. It doesn't necessarily mean they don't have any backing."

Under normal circumstances, these people's voices wouldn't even reach the ears of the Demon-Slaying Master. There must be a mastermind behind this scheme.

'The Immortal of Exorcism and the Buddhist Disciple of Bright Light? They acted so quickly?'

Lu Yang suddenly realized that the reason why rogue cultivators were causing trouble at the Sword Pavilion was not because the Sword Pavilion respected them, but because someone in the Sword Pavilion needed this chaos!
However, this was only bullying the Demon-Slaying True Man. As the number one sword cultivator in the world, he actually came out of the mountain gate to greet a group of rogue cultivators. If this had happened in the Holy Sect, these people would have evaporated on the spot, and their souls would have been sent to the Refining Secret Realm to contribute to the cultivation of the Holy Sect disciples.

"Shi Yuan, you've gotten old."

The Demon-Subduing Master landed in front of the old man on a beam of light. Upon seeing his monk's robes, he frowned slightly, then sighed.
"It seems the aftereffects of what happened back then are still quite severe."

"You've had the idea of ​​going to the Pure Land again?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon-Slaying Master reached out his hand again, seemingly wanting to pat him on the shoulder, but the next second, his expression suddenly froze on his face.

Because the old man stepped back.

The Demon-Slaying Master's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes meeting the old man's angry gaze, and a question suddenly rang in his ears:
"Ye Guangji!"

The old man trembled, seemingly out of fear or timidity, yet he still resolutely raised his head and directly called out the name of the Demon-Slaying Master.

"I ask you! Was that drop of Buddha's blood that fell into Jimo City back then because you fought with the Pure Land master? You killed that Pure Land master, but deliberately left the Buddha's blood in my Jimo City, and finally used this as an excuse to massacre all the residents of my city. Is this the truth of what happened back then?!"

The old man's words were like thunder echoing through the mountains.

Lu Yang stood beside the Demon-Slaying Master, but saw that the group of people accompanying the old man were also looking at them with questioning and doubt in their eyes.

However, Lü Yang was unmoved by what he saw.

After all, apart from Jimo City, which is just a rogue cultivation force, there is only Mo Shiyuan and the old man, who are both Foundation Establishment cultivators. The rest are just a group of Qi Refining cultivators.

They're not even human, why bother taking them to heart?

Lu Yang remained unmoved, but the Demon-Slaying Master's expression changed. He exhaled a deep breath, a look of helplessness on his face.
"What happened back then was not my doing; there were other hidden reasons."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon-Slaying Master sighed and said, "I fought a great battle with Jingguan. Although I beheaded him and cut off his face, it was not an easy task."

To reiterate, he is not the true ruler.

The limit of the world's number one Foundation Establishment cultivator is to kill the Buddha's disciple with three sword strikes. Three sword strikes represent a process, indicating that there is still room for the two sides to exchange blows.

But if it were a Golden Core True Monarch, would it be like this?

Unless the World-Honored One himself is present, even the most miraculous Buddhist disciple can be crushed with a single hand!

The Demon-Subduing Master cannot do this; he still needs the Three Swords. Therefore, there are always some things that he cannot control, such as a drop of Buddha's blood from the Pure Observation Hall.

"The incident in Jimo City was indeed caused by that drop of Buddha's blood. It contained heretical Pure Land teachings and the sound of Zen meditation, which infected all who heard or saw it, turning them into Buddhist practitioners. If it had not been stopped at the time, Jimo City and even the surrounding area could have become a small Pure Land."

If she succeeds, then even if she dies, the Pure Land's goal will have been achieved.

Furthermore, since the Pure Land and the True Lords had already reached an agreement, none of the True Lords of the Sword Pavilion made a move.

It would even be good for the Demon-Slaying Master, because he could easily repackage it afterward, turning it into a story of Shi Xiu causing trouble, and him killing him to avenge the dead.

However, the Demon-Slaying Immortal refused. He had not come to avenge the dead.

He came to rescue people.

So he, alone with his sword, beheaded the entire city of Jimo, severing the influence of the Pure Land on them and restoring their sanity.

At this point, the Demon-Slaying Master looked puzzled:
“I explained this to you back then, Shiyuan. None of your relatives and friends are dead. Didn’t you come to catch up with them a few years ago?”

"not dead?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes immediately reddened: "You've fooled me! If you're so capable, open your storage bag and show it to everyone!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon-Slaying Master nodded calmly, then took off his storage bag, untied the closure, and instantly, a mountain of voices filled the storage bag. Countless heads were divided into countless circles within it, communicating with each other, their expressions joyful, completely devoid of death and sorrow.

However, the more this is the case, the more bizarre it becomes.

Even after watching it so many times, Lü Yang still felt a chill run down his spine, let alone the rogue cultivators behind the old man, who were all so frightened that they retreated one by one.

"Everyone, take a look!"

Do you think these are living people?

The old man's eyes widened in horror as he said in a deep voice, "A person without a heart will die. This person has nothing below the neck; can such a person still call himself a living person?"

"How can they not be alive?" The Demon-Slaying Master looked puzzled, and with a wave of his hand, he directly drew out the people of Jimo City whom he had beheaded in the past: "You communicated with them a few years ago. They had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and with my magical power protecting them, their appearances have remained unchanged after all these years."

"You bullshit!"

The old man interrupted the Demon-Slaying Master directly, hissing, "I received guidance from the Great Virtue long ago; these people are neither alive nor dead, and are already like your puppets!"

"It is called saving people, but in reality it is enslavement."

"All those you have killed may not appear to be dead, but in reality, they have suffered a punishment far worse than death, forever destined to be your accomplices and under your control!"

Lu Yang: “.”

In the end, the old man stomped his feet in anger: "Besides, the Pure Land is such a virtuous place, why do we need your help? If it weren't for your meddlesome actions, I might already be practicing Buddhism in the Pure Land today, becoming a Buddha and enjoying eternal bliss. But now I'm still suffering in this mortal world!"

“You have cut off our path to Buddhahood, and now you want to take our lives.”

"What do you mean by not killing them? It's clearly just a ploy to gain fame and reputation!"

Fishing for fame and reputation!

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone behind him shouted.

To Lü Yang, the voice was like a gentle breeze, insignificant. However, when it reached the ears of the Demon-Slaying Master, it made him sigh deeply.

This sigh was not because of the old man or the city of Jimo.

As the number one swordsman in the world, Master Dangmo has a good personality and is approachable. However, this does not mean that he is a weak person.

The accusations that Lü Yang didn't care about.

He might care, but that wouldn't shake his resolve.

'Shi Yuan isn't exactly well-informed, so the fact that he knows about my storage bag and other things suggests he wasn't an outsider, but rather someone within the Sword Pavilion who informed him.'

This indirectly confirms Lü Yang's earlier report.

That's why he sighed.

'Are you really that impatient?'

'Does he really want me to sacrifice the sword intent I've cultivated my entire life?'
