Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty Seven – The Anger of Lotus Sutra Temple (2/2)

Zuo Mo immediately recognized the severity of the situation. It probably wasn’t just one Kun Lun xiuzhe that would enter the ancient ruins, and these people were well concealed. If they were the least bit careless, they would easily fall for the trap.

At this moment, the lotus flower at the forehead of the sect leader lit up minutely. Her expression changed. She closed her eyes and focused while breathing calmly. When she opened her eyes again, her face was murderousness. “Yuan Hao was attacked on his return trip! Good, very good!”

The sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple was clearly angered greatly. If she could maintain her calm at Yuan Tong’s death, then Yang Yuan Hao being ambushed enraged her! Yang Yuan Hao wasn’t just related to the future of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects, he was also her nephew. The location where he had been ambushed was in her territory. The other was arrogant and unscrupulous to the limit!

“They really think that Lotus Sutra Temple is easy to bully!” She was a sect leader however, and quickly calmed down. However, the darkness in her eyes grew. She bowed and warned Zuo Mo and the others, “I have come to remind everyone to pay attention to your safety and be careful.”

Finishing, she turned and left with her disciples.

This was Lotus Sutra Temple’s territory. They had lived here for thousands of years, and the depth of their foundation far surpassed people’s imagination. When all of Lotus Sutra Temple moved, several groups of suspicious people quickly came to the surface.

Truly angered, Lotus Sutra Temple clearly did not intend to maintain the illusion of peace. Also, the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple knew that her one sect did not have the power to fight against these disciples of Tian Huan and Kun Lun.

The death of Yuan Tong stirred the Nine Great Dhyana Sects into facing a common enemy. Under the leadership of Lotus Sutra Temple’s sect leader, Thunder Sound Temple, Karma Temple, Surangama Temple, Laughing Maitreya Temple and the others sent their outstanding disciples to reinforce Lotus Sutra Temple.

Troops made from three hundred elite disciples carried out ambushes during the night.

These Kun Lun and Tian Huan disciples hidden in the shadows hadn’t expected that the others would dare to come to their door. They hurried to respond. The disciples of Kun Lun and Tian Huan were stronger, but the disciples of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects had the advantage of numbers.

The fighting was intense.

Both sides suffered great losses. Of the four reverends of Lotus Sutra Temple, one was killed and two wounded. The other sects also received heavy losses. More than half of the three hundred disciples were dead or wounded.

Kun Lun and Tian Huan also had heavy losses. Many of the hidden disciples were plucked out. The Nine Great Dhyana Sects had the advantage. Even though the Kun Lun and Tian Huan disciples were stronger, there was no advantage when they were out numbered in melee combat.

Other than several powerful disciples that broke through, the other disciples were all killed.

In the end, they found more than sixty corpses of people from Kun Lun and Tian Huan.

The restless area around the ruins immediately became much quieter.

———

Chao Xin had an expression of pain. “Stupid! One shen device nucleus ruined this great situation! Now, our previous plan cannot be used. The Nine Great Dhyana Sect is going to be more united after this fight!”

Lin Qian had a grimace. “This matter is my mistake.”

Previously, the value of one shen device raiment could not compare to a greatly beneficial strategy against the Nine Great Dhyana Sect. But since Bie Han’s [Arsonist] appeared, a completely new concept of battle general shen device raiment, every sect increased their value of the nucleus.

Suddenly, every faction’s desire towards shen device raiments increased drastically.

Lin Qian regretted greatly that the first shen device raiment of Kun Lun had been given to him. With his strength and status, there was nothing to criticize that he possess a shen device raiment. However, he would not fight on the front lines, and the shen device raiment was not of much strategic value.

For Kun Lun and the others, shen device raiments were strategic treasures. Since they were of strategic value, they actually would not be easily used. For example, Lin Qian. He had the shen device raiment. While he would rarely meet someone that was a match for him, he was not invulnerable. If he was swarmed by many, he would also die.

Kun Lun could not tolerate this kind of loss.

Yet Mo Cloud Sea’s battle general shen device raiment was designed around a completely different concept. Battle generals of Bie Han’s level were heavily protected and had many experts around him. After being outfitted with the shen device raiment, he was even stronger, and he was able to increase the strength of the entire battalion.

Both were shen device raiments, yet it was clear which had greater use.

Kun Lun and Tian Huan were inspired and had an even greater desire for shen device raiments. However, even with their wealth, it was not an easy matter to forge a new shen device raiment.

The attraction of a complete shen device nucleus for Kun Lun could be imagined.

Also, Kun Lun did not think anything of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects. That was not just the sects within the lower ranks. Actually, Lin Qian knew that he thought the same inside. In his eyes, the biggest enemy was Tian Huan, the most dangerous enemy was Mo Cloud Sea. Other than Yang Yuan Hao, the Nine Great Dhyana Sects were not worth a mention.

This was the same with the other Kun Lun discples. They might be wary of Xuan Kong Temple, but Lotus Sutra Temple, what was that?

Lin Qian was a responsible person. He knew that he held great blame this time, and immediately admitted his mistake.

Chao Xin sighed inside. Lin Qian had already given him enough face by admitting to his mistake. He thought and said, “This may not be a bad thing.”

“How so?” Lin Qian was an open-minded and humble person.

“Lotus Sutra Temple led the way, then we will make an example of Lotus Sutra Temple.” Chao Xin’s eyes flashed. “There are many conflicts between the Nine Great Dhyana Sects, and they all want different things. We can use this matter to single out Lotus Sutra Temple, and no other sects.”

Lin Qian’s eyes lit up. “Great plan!”

This matter was a great excuse. If they put out a strong attitude of only making trouble for Lotus Sutra Temple, what would the other sects do? This was something to think over!

Within the Nine Great Dhyana Sects there were numerous conflicts between themselves. No one was willing to provoke an enemy like Kun Lun. Adding on the spies fanning the flames from the shadows … …
