I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

They walked along like this, bickering as usual.

Fortunately, since Lin Gang's legs were chopped off by Qiao Xiaoxian last time, he has started practicing new martial arts and has now developed a pair of powerful Vajra legs.

Only then did he crawl back to the Pure Land Temple before dark and pour the strange water in the bucket into the pond in front of the temple.

"Master! We are back!"

Lin Gang shouted.

However, the Pure Land Temple was unusually quiet. No one responded to him, and there were even echoes coming from the empty training ground.

Lin Gang thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Chen Yi, don't run around, find a place to hide."

"what happened?"

"I don't know. I'll go to the main hall to find my master."

As Lin Gang spoke, he disappeared from Chen Yi's sight in a flash, regardless of his fatigue after a day's work.

"Master?"

The hall was very quiet.

Fortunately, everything was safe. Lin Gang saw that all his fellow disciples and the abbot were here.

They stood solemnly against the wall of the hall, while the abbot was sitting under the Buddha statue, playing chess with a man in a white shirt.

This man is easy to leave an impression on people. If we really have to use a template to describe the style of an immortal, he would definitely be the most suitable model.

His hair reached the ground, and his every move was elegant and proper. It was obvious that he had received a good etiquette education since childhood, and he must have grown up in an abode of immortals.

"Xu Chen."

Lin Gang's heart sank, and he quickly recognized the man in white.

After the battle with Jiang Ke'er, he was called out by Brother Yu Wen to take the blame, and his information and appearance were also revealed.

Lin Gang thought he was dead, but he didn't expect he was still alive.

Moreover, it seems that he and the abbot are old acquaintances.

"Lin Gang, sit down."

The abbot motioned Lin Gang to sit next to the chessboard.

The game was coming to an end at this point, and the black pieces held by the abbot were clearly in the upper hand.

Although Lin Gang couldn't understand it, he could see that the number of black pieces was much greater than that of white pieces.

This cheered up Lin Gang.

It is said that Xuchen is so wise that he is almost a demon. He is a very powerful strategist and even the Sitianyi was designed by him.

Now it seems that it is just so-so. My master is still more powerful.

There won't be a reversal, right?

Just when Lin Gang was slightly worried, Xu Chen bowed slightly and said calmly: "I lost."

Abbot Jing smiled bitterly: "Young people are to be feared. You really didn't let me down on purpose?"

"No," Xu Chen shook his head, "I have tried my best. I am not very smart."

Abbot Jing did not linger on the chess game any longer. He just looked into Xu Chen's eyes calmly and asked, "What brings you here?"

Xu Chen looked straight at Abbot Jing's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate his heart, and said, "I'm here to save Lin Gang."

help me?

Lin Gang was stunned.

"The demon Jiang Ke'er is causing harm to China. Even if the emperor wants to protect her, he can't stand the condemnation of the people of the world," Xu Chen said calmly. "Today, the ministers are plotting to force the emperor to abdicate. The emperor will no longer be able to escape reality and order the killing of Jiang Ke'er."

Abbot Jing twirled the Buddhist beads in his hands and sighed "Amitabha" inwardly.

"But Jiang Ke'er has the power of the devil to protect her body. A head-on confrontation is definitely not feasible. I'm afraid it won't even be possible to cause both sides to suffer losses." Xu Chen seemed to know all the plans and stated the decision of the court. "So, they will start with people close to Jiang Ke'er, and Lin Gang, as a former teammate, must be one of them."

"The imperial court will give some respect to the Pure Land Temple."

"No," Xu Chen said with a smile, "Now the emperor only cares about the country. He is a good emperor who works for the country and the people, but... he is too good."

Abbot Jing's snow-white eyebrows knitted together: "But what does this have to do with you?"

"I also hope Jiang Ke'er dies." Xu Chen said frankly, "Lin Gang will help me."

"You are dreaming!" Lin Gang said angrily.

Xu Chen was not annoyed at all.

"If what I expected is true, the Taiming Sect has already sent a large army to the border. You have once again become a coward. Your former friends... Gan Ruanruan, Jieshui, and A Miao, although they have transformed into ghost cultivators, have not yet cultivated to the point where they can fight against the imperial court. Their whereabouts have long been known by the imperial court, and they are probably in danger now."

Xu Chen's words made Lin Gang feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

"Even though the Pure Land Temple is well-known and huge in size, it cannot be easily moved. But this temple is controlled by a bad guy like you, Lin Gang," Xu Chen looked at Lin Gang, as if he had figured out all of Lin Gang's psychological reactions.

"Under the righteousness of the Divine Land, no matter how good the reputation of the Pure Land Temple is, it cannot withstand the charge of 'harbouring the devil's accomplices'," Xu Chen continued, "so the emperor can legitimately send troops to attack the Pure Land Temple."

He was right.

Lin Gang knew it, so he panicked.

"By then, not only will you be arrested, but also your fellow disciples, your master, and all the people close to you will die because of your relationship with Jiang Ke'er."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Lin Gang quietly.

He knew that Lin Gang would definitely make the right decision.

(2/2)

143. The Palace Examination is Approaching

The right choice?

What is right?

Abbot Jing stepped forward slightly and protected Lin Gang with his cassock: "This donor, please go back. When Lord Li conquered the world, the Pure Land Temple did not oppose it. Now that the Pure Land Temple is in trouble, Your Majesty will not commit the sin of killing in vain."

"Even if he can't, what about his subordinates? What about those indignant monks whose loved ones were killed by the demons?" Xu Chen asked, "Everyone knows the relationship between Lin Gang and Jiang Ke'er. If they can't catch Jiang Ke'er, their hatred for Jiang Ke'er will naturally shift to Lin Gang. If they can't catch Lin Gang, then it will be the turn of the Pure Land Temple."

"Then I will die!"

Lin Gang roared, raised his thick palm and slapped his forehead hard.

Master Jing wanted to stop him, but he saw the panicked expressions of the disciples in the temple, and he raised his hand and retracted it. He just clasped his hands together in sorrow and said to himself, "Amitabha."

Today, either Lin Gang will die, or Jingtu Temple will die with him.

Times are different now than in the past. This time, the Pure Land Temple is facing condemnation from all over China.

He had no choice at all.

Rather than letting Lin Gang be arrested and tortured by the imperial court, it would be better to let him die like this...

However, Xu Chen grabbed Lin Gang's arm.

"If you die, it will be all over. Your fellow disciples in the temple will be saved, but what about your teammates who once shared life and death with you?"

Lin Gang was silent.

"If they fail to catch Jiang Ke'er, they will surely end up in a miserable state, but you know... it is impossible for them to catch Jiang Ke'er."

Every word written by Xu Chen is heart-wrenching.

"I can help you with these things. I can do my best to protect your friends and your team teacher Si Lian. I know you have a deep relationship with her," Xu Chen said with a smile, "but time is tight, so it's not convenient to discuss in detail here. You have to rebel from the Pure Land Temple first, or at least protect your fellow disciples."

Lin Gang gritted his teeth, looked at Abbot Jing, and knelt down with a plop:

"Master, I..."

"Let's go, leave here and stay out of the spotlight." Abbot Jing waved his hand weakly. He could sense that countless powerful auras were flying towards the Pure Land Temple, and people from the imperial court were already on their way.

Abbot Jing suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily to the sky: "Evil disciple Lin Gang! From today on, you will have nothing to do with the Pure Land Temple!"

The imperial guards in the distance cried out that something was wrong when they heard this, and they quickly sped up and rushed into the hall in an instant.

However, at this time, Lin Gang was no longer in the lobby.

"You stinky bald ass! Where is your disciple?" the leader cursed angrily.

Abbot Jing closed his eyes and twirled his beads: "He escaped."

"Nonsense! With that kid's strength, how could he be that fast?"

"Sitting in a well and looking at the sky," Abbot Jing glanced at the visitor sarcastically, "Lin Gang has practiced the most powerful leg skills in heaven and earth. Even an immortal can't outrun him."

"Nonsense! Search! Dig three feet deep to find Jiang Ke'er's followers!"

**********

"Only if Jiang Ke'er dies can your friends and master be spared," Xu Chen said in a deep voice, "and even if you defect and flee, you can't completely sever your ties with the Pure Land Temple. This karmic fire will eventually burn your fellow disciples, so..."

"Jiang Ke'er must die!"

Xu Chen said this and turned to look at Lin Gang.

"?"

The air was dead silent. At the place where Lin Gang was supposed to be, Xu Chen glanced at the empty edge.

What about people?

How big is he?!

Woc, in just the blink of an eye...where did that guy go?

Easily soluble in air?

"I'm coming!"

From the northwest horizon, Lin Gang flew over breathlessly, as slowly as a turtle.

"You fly too fast, wait a moment." Lin Gang complained.

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where have you been?"

"Nothing done."

Xu Chen kept it in mind.

He pretended not to care, no longer lingering on this topic, and continued: "You should know that if you want to protect your friends and fellow disciples... Jiang Ke'er must die."

Lin Gang was silent.

"Except for the few of you, no one can safely get within one meter of Jiang Ke'er, so this job has to be done by you."

"No, it's impossible..." Lin Gang gritted his teeth and shook his head.

Xu Chen sneered: "Can your relationship with Jiang Ke'er be greater than the kindness of your master?"

“…” Lin Gang was speechless.

"Sometimes, if you want to keep the important things, you must sacrifice the unimportant things." Xu Chen patted Lin Gang's shoulder, "You know what you should do, think about it carefully."

**********

Although as time goes by, the demands for condemnation against Jiang Keer in China become more and more intense.

But since the real culprit could not be found, there was no progress at all.

But everyone knows that as soon as Jiang Ke'er shows up, she will be greeted with a massive and fatal attack.

"Get out! Hand over Jiang Ke'er!"

The monks outside the mountain cursed every day, with waves of voices coming one after another.

The Taiming Sect's formation is probably the most frequently used formation among all the sects' formations.

But this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to ensure absolute safety like in the past.

A formation larger than the Taiming Sect's mountain protection formation was set up outside, madly absorbing all the spiritual power within the Taiming Sect.

Using this method, within a year, Tai Ming Sect's spiritual power will be completely drained.

At that time, not only will the formation be broken, but even the cultivators inside will not be able to survive.
