Chapter 232: Golden Bodhimanda, Shocking the Primordial Master
Chapter 232: Golden Bodhimanda, Shocking the Primordial Master
Songzhou City.
Yang Qianxiang carefully arranged everything and also instructed the Demon Subjugation Generals on how to pacify the people.
As the Commander of the Prefecture, his strength was insignificant compared to the Patrol Commander, but he had ample experience dealing with such troublesome details.
After confirming that nothing was overlooked.
Yang Qianxiang mounted a Demon Horse and accompanied Lord Shen as they departed Songzhou.
Logically, after committing such a grave mistake, he should have been escorted back.
Fortunately, Lord Shen was lenient and didn't even utter a single harsh word of reprimand... Of course, he didn't say anything else either.
With the powerful strides of the Black Scaled Dragon Horse, the journey from Songzhou to the Imperial City would take less than ten days.
During their travel.
The Martial Temple in the Imperial City also welcomed a rare guest.
Temporarily halting their cultivation, the four Qingshan Temple Priests gathered.
Despite their status, they could only stand on either side.
In the main seat was a man with a goatee, wearing a black and white robe with wide sleeves.
"I wonder what brings the Master Chang Qing of Radiant Light Cave to Great Tian." Wu Daoan stood up, speaking neither arrogantly nor submissively.
"Just sightseeing." Master Chang Qing casually took a sip of hot tea, gently placing the cup on the table, his voice calm, "I'm also here to inform you that a Grandmaster has unfortunately perished."
Upon hearing the first half of his sentence, the four priests showed no reaction, but when the latter half was spoken, all four unconsciously clenched their teeth.
Wu Daoan's hand hidden in his sleeve tightened abruptly.
After a long silence.
He spoke in a cold voice, "We understand."
There were only seven Grandmasters left in Great Tian, and now one had mysteriously perished, yet this man from Radiant Light Cave remained unperturbed, not even bothering to mention the reason.
"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."
Although they called themselves crude martial artists, in truth, all Martial Temple disciples knew that they and the Primordial Grandmasters were like brothers, united in their duty to protect Great Tian.
How could they not be angry at this moment?
But they couldn't show their anger... Even a slight change in expression, if it angered Radiant Light Cave, would only lead to unfair treatment for the Grandmasters outside.
Wu Daoan turned and walked towards the exit.
"Wait a moment." Master Chang Qing suddenly raised his palm to stop them, "I've come on behalf of a friend to seek a young friend from all of you."
The priests halted and turned back, looking at him, "..."
"My friend is an elder of Green Hill, and he has two disciples who went out to train, but one of them suddenly disappeared in Great Tian."
Master Chang Qing raised his eyebrows, "Do any of you have any news?"
Wu Daoan pondered for a moment before speaking, "We don't know, but if you need help searching, we'll do our best and send people to the Nine Provinces to investigate."
"Thank you... but there's no need to trouble the Martial Temple disciples."
Master Chang Qing smiled faintly and took out a Jade Slip, "The senior brother of the Green Hill disciples has already gathered some information. The place where his junior brother disappeared is Qingzhou Yang'an County. He had written to the Commander of Qingzhou, General Jiangan, and received a reply, tsk."
"Don't know, not clear, ask the Martial Temple."
As the Master's words, tinged with amusement, fell.
Wu Daoan's eyes twitched, "..."
This young man from the Jiangan family was surprisingly bold.
"Green Hill and the three-party alliance have never had any grievances or enmity, and it is one of the forces that Radiant Light Cave has actively sought to cooperate with. I hope the Martial Temple can understand and help ensure the safety of the Grandmasters in Great Tian."
Master Chang Qing stood up and placed a Jade Slip on the table, "The senior brother has already gathered most of the information. At the time, there were only three Martial Artists above the Core Formation Realm passing through Northern Cliff, and two of them were too weak to pose any threat to the Green Hill disciples. The only remaining clue is too scarce, as if the person appeared out of thin air.
"I hope you can bring this person to me so that I can give my old friend an explanation. Qingqiu will investigate the matter thoroughly, and if he is truly uninvolved, I will personally bring him back to Great Tian."
The temple priests listened patiently, their hearts filling with anger.
Although Qingqiu had always maintained neutrality, it was still a den of fox demons. Great Tian had never provoked them, yet they dared to send someone here to demand an explanation, which was simply too much.
In their heyday, if Great Tian said one thing, would Qingqiu dare to say otherwise?
Not to mention the disciples, even if they killed their elders, what could they do?
Wu Daoan took a deep breath and asked, "May I ask whom you are seeking, Master?"
Master Chang Qing glanced at the jade slip on the table and touched it with his divine sense, examining it before replying, "Qingzhou Shen Yi."
Upon hearing this, the remaining three temple priests were left bewildered.
Wu Daoan paused for a moment, then broke into a cold smile. Malicious intent rose in his cloudy eyes as he said, "Master, dare you repeat whom you're looking for?"
Master Chang Qing felt something was amiss but didn't take it to heart. "Qingzhou Shen Yi."
A mere dying Martial Temple, what kind of big waves could they stir?
To speak with such a threatening tone, he must have stayed too long in this dilapidated temple, clouding his mind.
"Very well."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Daoan's smile widened, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Amidst the crowd's confusion, within the Martial Temple, one of the twelve Dharmic Bodies of Gold on the altar suddenly came to life. The Simiao's eyes lit up, and its three-zhang-tall body slowly descended from the altar.
As it stepped out onto the long street, blinding golden light illuminated the sky, and it strode towards the courtyard.
Before the Simiao, the courtyard seemed as fragile as tofu, collapsing in an instant.
With a casual wave of its palm, the roof turned to powder, and its enormous eyes surveyed the few figures within.
Master Chang Qing, enveloped by the massive shadow, couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the sight of the golden body resembling a divine being. He took three steps back and shouted, "What do you mean by this?!"
"That's exactly what I mean." Simiao opened its mouth, its voice like a thunderous bell and drum reverberating through the sky, "You, a mere Upper Realm Mixed Yuan Grandmaster, are already honored to be called a Master. If you dare mention that name again before me..."
Simiao bared its teeth slightly, its expression indifferent, "Then let this place be where you meet your end today."
"You!"
Master Chang Qing's face twisted in fury, "Have you forgotten where I'm from, the Radiant Light Cave?"
In response, a powerful palm strike descended.
Simiao merely lifted its foot and stomped, causing Master Chang Qing's face to pale, his body glowing with red light, and his arms instinctively crossed in front of him.
The golden beast's palm stopped just an inch away from him.
Master Chang Qing's cold sweat had already soaked his clothes, and his eyes darted about as he struggled to catch his breath.
Looking at the Simiao's head, he saw a pair of eyes filled with chilling intent.
He adjusted his breathing and said softly, "I'm just asking on behalf of Qingqiu; there's no need for a great battle."
"Hmph."
Simiao retracted its front leg and slowly turned around, returning to the Martial Temple. It lay down on the altar, instantly becoming as lifeless as a statue.
At the same time, Wu Daoan opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Then please leave, no need to see you out."
