I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1244

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1245: Conspiracy Chapter 1244: Chapter 1245: Conspiracy “Ah, this…”

Li Xiaobai didn't expect Ergouzi to be so direct; Ergouzi had barely stepped through the threshold before he began shooing people away. This was not the slightest bit courteous!

“Amitabha Buddha, Master Nicholas wishes to requisition the Golden Wheel Temple, and this old monk naturally welcomes it. However, there are many trifles within the temple premises, and this old monk needs to give a few more instructions, lest the Sect Disciples inadvertently disturb the master.”

The Jinlun Law King was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood and said with a faint smile.

“There's no need, everyone here is talented, and the work is reliable. Moreover, with the master's arrival, there is no need for any preparations. After tomorrow, all the cultivators in the city will come to the Golden Wheel Temple to listen to the master's teachings; there is no question of disturbing or not disturbing.”

Xiao Lao Di said indifferently, his invisible authority sweeping around and enveloping the Golden Wheel Temple.

With his temper, he really didn't want to waste words with the people in front of him. The entire city couldn't find a single Saint Realm powerhouse, and he would not speak so kindly if it weren't for the resources.

In an instant, everyone in the vicinity fell silent, each feeling a great mountain weighing down upon their hearts. It was not cultivation suppression, but the aura of a powerful being that overshadowed them. Undoubtedly, if this top-tier powerhouse called Xiao Lao Di wished to kill them, all it would take was a glance.

“If that is the case, then this old monk will step aside and yield the Golden Wheel Temple.”

The Jinlun Law King's eyes also flashed with a hint of apprehension. Despite the fact that his Golden Wheel Temple had grown large in Golden Wheel City and had made many connections with other temples, in the end, Golden Wheel City was just a marginal small city without profound heritage. His cultivation level was the highest within the temple, merely at the Semi-Saint level.

“That would be excellent. You all should leave promptly. Come to the Golden Wheel Temple tomorrow morning to receive teachings; opportunities like this do not come twice!”

Xiao Lao Di said, neither salty nor bland.

“Good!”

The crowd in the hall dispersed, and the Jinlun Law King almost offered no resistance, which seemed somewhat abnormal. To say that he was earnestly devoted to seeking genuine Buddhist teachings, Li Xiaobai was a million times skeptical. Just by looking at the behavior of the other Sects, it was obvious this guy had some other schemes!

“That bald donkey does not seem like someone of pure heart; he is probably planning some trickery in the dark!”

After the crowd had left, Xiao Lao Di slowly spoke.

“No worries, let's have Tangneng First-class be established well tomorrow, then dispatch Huazi, no matter which temple they come from, they will have to be subdued by us!”

“Nothing can't be solved with a Huazi. If it can't, then use two!”

Li Xiaobai said lightly. No matter what sneaky tricks the Golden Wheel Law King played, he wasn't afraid, unless this old monk could move the city overnight; otherwise, there's nothing that could prevent him from making a fortune.

Bathhouses coupled with Huazi were tangible benefits, with effects directly reflected in the cultivators' strength and cultivation realms. Even if this place was known as the pure land of Buddhism and everyone comprehended the Buddhist Law, they couldn't be wholly unmoved. Once they tasted the benefits, they couldn't shake it off, and with the entrance of Huazi into their systems, the brainwashing power of the Power of Faith from Buddhism would greatly diminish, until eventually they came to their senses. In the Western Continent, as long as all the cultivators awakened, it would fulfill the System's task of Reverse Enlightenment. This had already been proven inside the Buddhist Pagoda.

“Let this being also preach and teach scriptures tomorrow. My head is filled with knowledge vast as the sea; it's a pity that I have never met a true patron!”

Ji Wuqing crowded over to say, wanting to show off the next day.

Ergouzi swiped it aside with a claw, looking disdainfully and said: “Go away and play somewhere else, stay wherever it's cool!”

“Junior Brother Ji, I have a mission for you. Go check in the temple for any unusual movements among the monks. If there are special circumstances, report to me immediately!”

Li Xiaobai said to Ji Wuqing.

This guy was unobtrusive and wouldn't attract too much attention. Sneaking around in the temple for a while would net a lot of information.

After the brief conversation, the two humans and two beasts dispersed, each finding a chamber to settle down and wait for the next day.

Due to being a prisoner, Li Xiaobai was taken to a cell for holding prisoners by the two Buddhist Sect Disciples guarding outside the hall. This place held all the cultivators captured by the monks of the Golden Wheel Temple in the city.

Along the way, these two disciples trembled like sieves. They were supposed to leave with the crowd, but Junior Brother Yinlun had given a last-minute order to stay and listen to what Ergouzi had to say. They hadn't expected such a delay to end up escorting this high-ranking Blood Demon Sect's Saint Realm expert to the prison. If this demon head lashed out, they'd have no graves to be buried in!

“Locking this chief together with the prisoners, aren't you afraid I'll slaughter them all?”

Li Xiaobai teased.

“Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said, the benefactor jests!”

The two monks continuously chanted prayers, their hands pressed together in devout prayer.

“I'm well aware of what sort of behavior is expected from the Buddhist Sects, a bunch of hypocrites. I smell the scent of sesame oil on you two; you've eaten meat, haven't you?”

Li Xiaobai continued. Actually, without smelling, there were still greasy smudges at the corners of their mouths that hadn't been wiped clean.

“Amitabha Buddha, sinful, sinful…”

The two didn't dare to respond to Li Xiaobai, quickening their steps and muttering mantra as if to muster courage.

“You two had better pray you don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, if you end up being locked up here, that will be your day of death!”

Li Xiaobai spoke in an ominous tone, subtly threatening, aiming to stir trouble for Jinlun Law King.

At the same time.

In another temple within Golden Wheel City, the Jinlun Law King was leading a group of high-ranking monks in a discussion.

“This Master Nicholas that has come, I have never heard of him. He must not be a Western Continent Buddhist cultivator, but a foreigner instead, so there's no need to worry too much.”

“I have already contacted the Vajra Gate within the Great Thunderclap Temple. Within three days, Master Jin from the Vajra Gate will personally come to negotiate with that party and expel them from the Western Continent. Golden Wheel City will still be dominated by our temples.”

The Jinlun Law King spoke calmly.

“Amitabha Buddha, the Law King is considerate and thorough. However, distant waters won't quench immediate thirst. Tomorrow, that master from the exotic frontiers will open a dharma assembly and teach scriptures using your temple. If they succeed in giving the lecture, I'm afraid we'll lose the people's heart!”

An old monk, who was the Abbot of another temple, furrowed his brows as he spoke. Everyone present was involved in the interests, with a common goal of not allowing that dog to linger any longer.

“No need to worry; Yinlun Junior Brother has already been sent to handle the matter. Tomorrow, only the monks from our temples will attend, and there won't be anyone there to support that dog. After all, who would let a dog preach?”

“This foreign monk trying to recite scriptures is simply a fool's dream. Tomorrow, let him be utterly humiliated, unable to open the assembly any longer, undeserving to remain!”

The Jinlun Law King's eyes flashed with a cold glint.

“Good!”

“Great good!”
