There are always fairies plotting against me

"Hey, if it was Master Zheng who was here, with his temper, he might have gone straight to Lingshan now."

"You really think that it was the True Buddha of Lingshan who came over to apologize first."

"Haha, that's right. The Buddhist sect has been building up momentum for their disciples for so long, but before the Ten Realms Martial Arts Competition even begins, three Buddhas are already kneeling before Sect Master Pei. It's quite something to watch—"

"Are you sure you want to watch it? What if the Buddhist sect holds a grudge against you?"

"What are you afraid of? If we go and see it, it would be like helping the Wandao Sect to squeeze Lingshan. How dare Lingshan tear its face with the Wandao Sect?"

"Too-"

Some monks walked towards Hanshan Temple, but some monks had other ideas.

"Do you know where Lu Shengzi is now?

1

"It seems like he went to Cijing Temple."

"Let's go over there and help Lu Shengzi find the murderer."

"Right on my mind."

Most of the cultivators in the city were discussing in groups of three or four, while Lu Jinan had already walked into the City Lord's Mansion of Jiuhua City accompanied by his uncle Xu Shu.

The City Lord's Mansion is also called Cijing Temple. It is a temple where Bodhisattva Junfu serves as the abbot and is also the lord of Jiuhua City.

When Lu Jinan stepped into the threshold of Cijing Temple, the abbot of Cijing Temple, Bodhisattva Junfu, was already waiting in the courtyard.

But his usually compassionate face was now filled with coldness.

Lu Jinan didn't bother to talk nonsense and directly reached out to ask for it: "Registration of the list of monks in the city."

Although Bodhisattva Junfu was deeply dissatisfied with the three Buddhas being bullied by the Wandao Sect, he also understood that they were in the wrong for the assassination, so he did not say anything and directly handed out the list of monks in the city.

Xu Shu raised his hand first and grabbed the list. Although he knew that the Buddhist sect would not dare to use tricks at this time, it would be better to check it himself just in case.

If something happened to the Holy Son in Jiuhua City, how would I have the face to go back and see the Sect Master?

After confirming that the list was correct, he handed it to Lu Jinan.

In the time it took Lu Jinan to take a quick glance, a group of cultivators in the late Hedao realm had already rushed to the gate of Cijing Temple.

Bodhisattva Junfu looked at the group of monks with a gloomy expression. He naturally understood why these monks came here.

It was not to see the excitement of Lingshan, but to curry favor with Lu Jinan.

With Lu Jinan's background and identity as the Holy Son of Wandao Sect, even if he said nothing, there would still be many cultivators lining up to curry his favor.

Take the assassination attempt on Lu Jinan this time as an example. Even if Lu Jinan himself did not say anything and even if Wandao Sect did not express its position, other sects and families that wanted to please Wandao Sect would be prepared to share Lu Jinan's worries as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why most independent cultivators are unwilling to provoke disciples from sects or aristocratic families.

Because once you offend someone, it's not just one person you offend.

At this moment, Lu Jinan and even the Wandao Sect made it clear that they wanted to investigate this matter. How could those cultivators standing at the door miss this opportunity to help Lu Shengzi solve his problems?

Bodhisattva Junfu understood this principle, but what made him even more aggrieved was that after becoming a Buddhist, he could not cause trouble for these monks.

Because the Wandao Sect will definitely protect the cultivator who stood up for their Holy Son!

The number of Buddhas in the three major Buddhist sects of Mount Xumi, Mount Lingshan, and Mount Putuo is still less than that of the Fang Dao Sect. What can they use to cause trouble for the Wan Dao Sect?

Take the head!?

Bodhisattva Junfu took a deep breath and simply closed his eyes, refusing to look at the group of monks at the door. Out of sight, out of mind.

While many thoughts were running through Junfu Bodhisattva's mind, Lu Jinan had already finished looking through the list. Except for Zhou Yuanfu, the names on the letter matched the names on the list.

They are indeed all within Jiuhua City.

Lu Jinan did not immediately turn around to look at the cultivators at the door, but slowly took out the envelope and compared it with the list in front of everyone.

After watching it, Lu Jinan naturally would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the monk at the door.

After all, the list is just a list, and he doesn't know what it looks like.

Now that so many monks are willing to help, it will naturally be easier to find the people on the list.

He turned around, and Xu Shu whispered, "Holy Son, leave this matter to me—" "—You don't have to get involved in these causes and effects."

Lu Jinan nodded, handed the letter to Xu Shu, and whispered, "Keep it a secret from Zhou Yuanfu for now."

Xu Shu took a step forward, his expression calm. "The Holy Son of our Wan Dao Sect has been assassinated, and the mastermind is still in Jiuhua City. If you can provide any clues or help capture him alive, the Wan Dao Sect will reward you handsomely."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shu waved his right hand, and the names on the letter paper except Zhou Yuanfu appeared in the air in the form of spiritual power.

As soon as the name of the spiritual power was revealed, there was a commotion among the monks at the door.

"How dare you assassinate Lu Shengzi!?"

At that moment, two people in the crowd were held down by other monks, and more monks immediately dispersed to look for the owners of these names.

When the two people on the envelopes were held down, Xu Shu took action immediately to prevent them from committing suicide.

Lu Jinan said calmly: "Uncle Xu, take him back to the flying boat first.

Xu Shu waved his hand, and spiritual power carried the two of them to the Wandao Sect's Polang Boat docked outside Hanshan Temple.

Lu Jinan released his spiritual sense to cover the entire Jiuhua City, and disappeared on the spot after taking a step forward.

Xu Shu did not leave immediately, but his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power had already protected Lu Jinan.

He turned to look at the Bodhisattva Junfu, whose eyes were tightly closed, and smiled faintly: "Just pray that Lingshan has nothing to do with this matter, otherwise wait for my Wandao Sect to flatten your mountain."

Bodhisattva Junfu stared at Xu Shu with his eyes wide open. The gap in strength between the Tribulation Realm and the Immortal Realm, as well as the gap in strength between Lingshan and Wandao Sect, made him dare not say a word at this moment.

If the conflict escalates due to careless words, Mount Xumi will not be able to protect Lingshan.

Watching Xu Shu walk out of the main gate of Cijing Temple, Junfu Bodhisattva clenched his hands and said fiercely: "Investigate! Find out the identity of that novice monk and give an explanation to Wandao Sect!"

With the murderer's name known and most monks willing to help, the ten people except Zhou Yuanfu were quickly apprehended.

Even though Xu Shu, an immortal in the early stage of the divine presence, was not present at the scene, he only needed to make a slight move to suppress the suicidal attempts of several people.

Lu Jinan only targeted two people: Zhuang Wanshui and Cheng Yungen, the masters of the upper realm, but he personally carried only Zhuang Wanshui back to the flying boat.

Otherwise, accurately capturing two people who have taken over bodies from the upper realm might arouse suspicion.

Lu Jinan casually tossed the two men to the anchor of the flying boat and said to Pei Wanyu, "Master, we've caught them all."

Pei Wanyu glanced at the two Buddhas behind Baoyue Buddha, who were slightly relieved, and said calmly, "Do you still remember it before we investigate it thoroughly?"

Baoyue Buddha's face suddenly darkened, but a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.

Not to mention the Buddhas who have already arrived at Lingshan from Mount Sumeru, even the True Buddha of Lingshan has not shown up yet. What can he say?

I can only continue to kneel.

However, there were too many cultivators watching around!

Being watched by this group of cultivators in the Tribulation Realm and the Hedao Realm as they knelt down as Buddhas - Wandao Sect was simply rubbing Lingshan's face under its feet!

Baoyue Buddha closed his eyes and silently recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart to seek inner peace.

"You'd better pray that you have nothing to do with Lingshan, otherwise I will take your head first!"

After Pei Suoyu finished speaking, she took Lu Jinan to the deck of one of the wave-breaking boats.

Baoyue Buddha lowered his eyebrows and quickened the pace of reciting Buddhist scriptures in his heart.

He was not worried that this matter was really related to Lingshan, but among those people just now, there was a demon cultivator from the Wuji Demon Sect.

The evil cultivators harming the human world is one of the easy ways to accumulate merits.

On the deck of the flying boat, Pei Suoyu raised her slender hand and covered the entire flying boat with a barrier, blocking the outside world's perception of this place.

Lu Jinan, who did not find any suspected Buddhist monks in Jiuhua City, did not think much about it. He directly pulled out the certificate of the underworld and walked towards the ten captured people.

Without any nonsense, he killed them one by one with his sword, and then let the three-headed corpse demon in the Netherworld Space devour them, and then he began to check the memories of these ten people.

Except for Zhuang Wanshui and Cheng Yungen who are the possessors of the upper realm, the rest are from the demonic realm.

And three of them are demon cultivators from the Wuji Demon Sect.

The three demon cultivators from the Wuji Demon Sect each had their own division of labor. One caused a disturbance on the eve of the Ten Realms Martial Arts Competition, one exposed his identity during the Ten Realms Martial Arts Competition, and the other tried to find a way to keep an eye on his movements.

Because Zhou Yuanfu, who was not caught, was planning an assassination.

Zhuang Wanshui and Cheng Yungen are collaborators.

The killing move prepared was the Divine Power Heavenly Punishment Formation.

A killing formation that enhances the thunder tribulation when undergoing the tribulation.

However, they had no memory of the specific time when the attack was carried out.

Lu Jinan opened his eyes and told his master the general story, but because of the troublesome thing that "everything said must be known", Lu Jinan did not reveal the identities of the two people who took over other people's bodies from the upper realm.

There is no point in revealing it because Lu Jinan did not obtain the list of new possessors from the memories of these two people.

Lu Jinan could also see from their memories that although the strength of these two people was good among their peers, they were marginal figures among the body snatchers.

Its role is to assist and help the core body-stealer to improve his cultivation faster.

After hearing what the good disciple said, Pei Wanyu, with her arms crossed over her chest, tapped her arm lightly: "These bald donkeys are doing this for merit.

He really can do anything.”

Lu Jinan leaned on the guardrail, thought for a while, and then said, "This incident only happened within the jurisdiction of Lingshan, so Lingshan may be one of the layouts of Mount Xumi."

"Specializes in this kind of thing, and then—"

Pei Wanyu's eyes flickered slightly: "Once the truth comes out, not only can I put all the blame on Lingshan, but I can also accumulate more merits by killing my relatives for the sake of justice."

Lu Jinan nodded: "But it's not enough. With the memories of these demonic cultivators, Lingshan can easily push a few people out of this matter without the help of Mount Xumi."

After a pause, he looked at Pei Wanyu and continued, "But these things are not important now. After all, we can find a reason to issue the 'Demon Suppression Order' in the future. The most important thing now is..."

What was the purpose of the monk who sent me the letter?"

"You think he is the Buddhist disciple Fan Zhou Xing, right?"

"Hmm..." Lu Jinan thought for a moment and asked, "He is the disciple of the Great Infinite Buddha, right?"

"Personally taught."

"So, he has no reason to help me." Lu Jinan rubbed his fingers. "Unless he's not Fan Zhouxing. If not—I really don't know who else among the younger generation of Buddhism has such strong strength."

Lu Jinan took a deep breath: "Unless - he was taught by Senior Emperor Shitian, but is it possible?"

Now the whereabouts of Indra, the second-in-command of Mount Xumi, and his life and death are unknown. If it is really the work of Amitabha Buddha, then how could he let go of Fanzhou Xing while targeting Indra?

Even if he was let go, why would we make such a big fuss to promote Fan Zhouxing?

Pei Wanyu walked up to Lu Jinan and patted his shoulder. "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's see what this monk does next. When the Ten Realms Martial Competition begins, you will definitely face off against Fan Zhouxing."

Lu Jinan nodded: "How are you going to deal with the three Buddha Masters below?"

"Death." Pei Wanyu said lightly, "Regardless of whether the monk who delivered the letter was a real monk or not, Lingshan will be held responsible if you are assassinated."

"Besides, do you believe that a single word from my master can cause one of these Buddhas to commit suicide?"

"Master, of course I believe what you said." Lu Jinan smiled, "But I want to use the corpse."

"Corpse Monk?"

"Yes." Lu Jinan nodded: "Since he is a Buddha, he must be happy to atone for the sins he has committed, right?"

"That makes sense."

Pei Suoyu smiled, thinking that as expected of a disciple taught by her, this is how interesting he should be.

She turned around and walked back to the ground with Lu Jinan, looking at the silent Baoyue Buddha with a sneer in her eyes: "You Lingshan, you are really..."

Baoyue Buddha opened his eyes, knowing full well that Pei Wanyu had found out the truth, which made him sigh in his heart.

After all, paper can't contain fire.

He looked up at the Polang Boat. The witness was on it, and Lingshan no longer had the chance to kill him to silence him.

Any immortal who comes here can find the truth through soul searching, so -

He lowered his head and spoke softly, "Tianshui."

The Tianshui Buddha who was standing behind the Baoyue Buddha on the right trembled. He opened his mouth, and finally looked towards the Lingshan Mountain, then lowered his eyes.

"Amitabha."
