My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

The people were completely confused.

What is this "Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult"? I've never heard of it before.

But this did not stop them from worshipping the "leader" who could bestow divine medicine.

Looking at these poor people who were sallow-faced and emaciated, and who didn't even have a complete set of clothes.

Sizi's compassion was completely overflowing.

"Sixteenth Brother, they are so pitiful."

Sizi tugged at Li Chen's sleeve, her big eyes sparkling with pleading.

"I still have lots of delicious food in my bag, can I share it with them?"

Li Chen patted her head, his eyes gentle.

"You can empty this bag as long as you're happy. If that's not enough, I have more."

Li Chen didn't act like a superior cultivator towards these mortals.

It's totally worth it to exchange a tiny bit of food for a smile from my sister.

Permission was granted.

The rhinoceros let out a cheer.

She walked directly to a slightly wider part of the alley.

I took a clean picnic mat out of my bag and laid it on the ground.

Then, a frenzied "reselling" mode was launched.

"Splash—"

Accompanied by a dazzling flash of light.

All sorts of top-grade healing fruits from the Tang Dynasty, fragrant meat buns, and even the precious medicinal herbs that the Luo family had just compensated them with.

The little girl poured it out without hesitation, piling it into a small mountain that exuded an enticing aroma.

"Everyone, come and eat! It's free!"

Sizi stood beside the pile of food, beckoning customers like an enthusiastic little vendor.

"If you're sick, eat this red fruit! If you're hungry, eat this big meat bun!"

"Don't buy those filthy monks' water anymore, it'll make you sick!"

The poor people had never seen anything like it.

The rich aroma of the meat and the rich spiritual energy made their mouths water.

After a few daring individuals took the lead in trying it and discovered that it really was being distributed for free.

The poor people in the entire neighborhood instantly erupted in jubilation.

"Thank you so much, Master!"

"Long live the Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult! Long live the Cult Leader!"

People lined up, gratefully accepting food and spiritual fruits from the rhinoceros.

Everyone who ate the spiritual fruit experienced their illnesses disappear instantly.

Cheers and cries of gratitude echoed through the alley.

While everyone was queuing to get their food.

With a keen business sense, Si Zi pulled out a stack of pre-printed pink flyers from the bottom of her small bag.

"Remember to check this out after you get your treat!"

Sizi was very dedicated; she handed a flyer to everyone who had received their food.

"Our Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult is the best sect in the world!"

"If you feed the stray cats more often, you'll be good friends with our church!"

Although the people couldn't understand the fancy pictures on the leaflets.

But they all regarded the instructions of their savior as the highest imperial edict.

Many people even carefully folded the pink flyer and placed it close to their chests, using it as a talisman.

In just half an hour.

The reputation of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult spread rapidly among the common people of this Buddhist city at an incredible speed.

On the other side...

The gray-robed monk who had been beaten and coughed up blood had already slipped out of the alley amidst the chaos of the crowd.

He clutched his broken ribs and stumbled along the way.

After passing through several bustling streets, we finally arrived at the gate of the magnificent and sprawling "Compassion Temple" in the city center.

Cibei Temple is the largest temple in this Buddhist city.

It is also the core hub controlling the buying and selling of "merit water" throughout the city.

The gray-robed monk staggered into the temple's backyard.

He knelt down in front of a luxuriously decorated meditation room filled with the scent of sandalwood.

"Abbot! Abbot, save me!"

The monk crawled into the meditation room, crying and shouting.

On the meditation cushion in the center of the meditation room.

An old monk, wearing a bright red robe, with a ruddy face and a fat head and big ears, was resting with his eyes closed.

In his hand, he was casually twirling a string of prayer beads made of the finest obsidian.

Upon hearing the cries, the abbot slightly opened his eyes and frowned.

"Huiming, what's wrong? Why are you so panicked? What kind of behavior is this?"

The gray-robed monk, called Huiming, didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He embellished the story and recounted what had happened in the alley.

"The abbot is truly wise!"

"A male and female demon appeared out of nowhere, along with a fat cat who can cast spells!"

"They not only injured our disciples, but also publicly slandered our temple's 'merit water' as poison!"

A glint of greed flashed in Huiming's eyes, and he lowered his voice.

"Most importantly, that little girl possesses a spatial magic treasure with hidden wonders!"

"It's filled with top-grade spiritual fruits and elixirs!"

"They're now distributing those priceless treasures for free to those lowly paupers to win their hearts!"

"They even call themselves the 'Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult' and tell people to stop coming to our temple to burn incense!"

"Clatter".

The obsidian rosary in the abbot's hand, which had been spinning continuously, suddenly stopped.

His originally kind and gentle face was instantly covered with a gloomy expression.

Deep within his eyes, an undisguised greed and chilling murderous intent erupted.

Top-grade spiritual fruit? Spatial magic treasure?

Most importantly, they actually dared to distribute miracle medicine for free on the grounds of Cibei Temple?!

This is cutting off their source of income!

This is the incense at Juecibei Temple!

If everyone goes to collect free spiritual fruits to cure their illnesses, who will still pay exorbitant prices for their merit water in the future?

Who will rebuild the Buddha's golden statue?

"To cut off a family's ancestral worship is tantamount to murdering their parents. Such a wicked person deserves to be punished!"

The abbot slowly stood up, his fat body trembling slightly.

He snorted coldly and slammed the obsidian rosary heavily onto the table.

"Pass down the order."

The abbot's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, and devoid of any trace of the compassion of a monk.

"Go to the Bodhidharma Academy and awaken the eighteen monks who practiced the discipline of silent meditation and assassination."

Upon hearing this, the monk Huiming shuddered.

Those eighteen assassin monks were the most closely guarded secret of the Compassionate Temple.

It is specifically designed to eliminate cultivators who dare to defy the temple's will; each one is a ruthless killer.

"Abbot, do you mean...?"

"Find out which inn they stayed at."

The abbot turned around and looked at the glittering golden Buddha image on the wall.

His tone was menacing.

"Tonight at midnight."

"Send assassin monks to infiltrate."

"Bring that spatial artifact back to this humble monk intact."

"As for those two people, and that demonic cat... grind them to dust and send them to the Western Paradise, leaving no trace."

Night quickly enveloped the seemingly peaceful ancient city.

As the clamor subsided, a deadly intent surged in the darkness.

Eighteen ghostly black figures seemed to blend into the night.

They moved silently and rapidly toward a secluded inn in the south of the city.

They held dark-colored daggers coated with deadly poison, their eyes cold and ruthless.

however.

These assassins, who thought they were operating undetected, had no idea.

At this moment, in the quiet backyard of the inn.

Moonlight is like water.

A woman dressed in a snow-white long dress, with an exquisitely beautiful face, was sitting quietly on the roof ridge of the courtyard wall.

On the top of her head stood a pair of fluffy white cat ears.

Behind her, a long, snow-white cat tail swayed gently in the night breeze.

Bai Yaoyao's cat-like eyes, glowing with an unusual light, silently watched the murderous aura that was constantly approaching from the end of the alley.

Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a captivatingly beautiful smile.

"How dare you disturb the Lord's sleep..."

"Are you prepared to pay the price?"
