”Ah — Mi — Tuo — Buddha —” Almost at the same time, four Buddhist names were heard. The several masters were startled! Master Ku Chan didn't turn around for a long time. At this moment, his eyebrows were tightly knitted, and the buddhist beads in his right hand were spinning at lightning speed. The white beard was already shaking! Sweat began to seep out of his forehead!
His expression was extremely astonished.
”Great Master!” Seeing the expression on the face of the Withered-Zen Grandmaster, Tie Xiaoyun was extremely clear in his heart. It seemed like his guess was right!
”How is this possible?!” It's actually the 'Allfiend Sacred Hand'! ” Suddenly, he saw Xuan Kong turn around and look at the back of his senior brother, who was walking away from him. His face was full of shock, as if he couldn't believe what he had just seen and he couldn't help but blurt out.
Ah-im-tat!” He slowly made his way back to his seat, but his steps seemed a little unsteady!
”Ah?! — no!?” When he heard the words ”Ten Thousand Demons Hands”, the big footed guy jumped up from his seat, opened his mouth widely, and stared at the white coffin, then looked at the four masters. The other seven people, including Taoist Master Song Zhu of ”Qingcheng”, Taoist Master Kong Tong of ”Kongtong”, Taoist Master Xie Lao Ni of ”Emei” and Taoist Master Wu Dang Ling Hui of ”Wu Dang”, all heard this and were moved! He stared blankly at the white coffin in front of him.
”Ah! — I say, old monk.” After a while, the big footed fellow seemed to come back to his senses, as he rushed in front of Master Ku Chan, and although he opened his mouth wide open, he also clasped his hands together, ”This — is this really the 'Allfiend Holy Hand'?” A puzzled look was written on his face.
”Amitabha …” The monk was still immersed in a situation that others had no way of knowing about. As he listened to the question, his long eyebrows fluttered. It was absolutely true! ”This is the 'Allfiend Hands' without a doubt!” It seemed as if he had expended a great deal of energy and struggled to utter a few words, but he didn't see his mouth move.
”Ah?!” Another burst of even louder sighs came from outside the stage.
”Everyone, please be quiet!” Seeing this, Iron Curtain Cloud waved his hands. The field immediately became silent again.
”Just like what Master said just now, this old man thinks the same. The culprit who had harmed the five Sect Leaders was the ”Allfiend Saint Hand” that had been used to massacre the martial arts world fifty years ago! That was a terrible nightmare in the history of martial arts! ” Tie Xiaoyun turned around and looked at the coffin for a bit, and then paused, ”These four Shaolin Masters and I participated in that nightmare and several of them suffered injuries because of it. In the end, we managed to make the 'Black Mystery Fairy' appear at the peak of Mount Hua and exchanged it for the calmness of the Jianghu from a few dozen years ago. However, this old man did not expect that the nightmare had begun to awaken! This will be another calamity for my Central Plains martial arts Lin! ” As he spoke to here, Tie Xiaoyun's expression became extremely agitated.
”That's why the various sect heads are invited to come here and discuss the bigger scheme in response to Wan-Er. ”I hope that the various sects will cooperate with each other and be on high alert in order to ensure Wu Lin's safety!”
There was a deathly silence.
Even Lin Xuanzi and Rui-Mei on the pavilion were moved.
”So —” Iron Lantern stepped forward a few steps. ”Right now, the first thing we need to do is for all the Sect Leaders to be prepared. In addition, we need to do everything we can to find out the murderer's origin, so that we can eliminate it in the bud. From what I can see, although this palm technique is the 'Allfiend Hands' from fifty years ago, its power seems to be slightly weaker! If we can find her while her wings are still thin, it might be a great opportunity for us Central Plains martial artists. ”If not, when its feathers are fully grown, the martial arts world would be in dire straits again!” These words were said with both the bones and the flesh, and the crowd would be overwhelmed with emotion upon hearing it. Although only Tie Xiaoyun and the four Shaolin Masters had experienced that nightmarish calamity back in the day, they were still very familiar with that incident! They all knew what kind of disaster the killer demon, the ”Black Ham Goblin”, had brought to the Central Plains martial arts world. They were all secretly glad that they didn't go through that nightmare history of theirs. Otherwise, perhaps today …
”Amitabha —” The Withering Buddhist Grandmaster stood up and walked to the center of the arena. He bowed towards the five Spirit Coffins, then turned around and bowed to the Sect Leaders as well. His long beard fluttered, and his eyes opened. This is the misfortune of my Central Plains martial arts Lin! Sigh … Who would have thought that in these sixty-one years, the cycle of Samsara would result in a karmic cycle … Guilty... This old monk will be a step ahead of you in offending him. I, Shaolin, will give my all when it comes to other calamities. Manor Lord Tie, this old monk is very sorry. I will take my leave first — — Amitabha — — ”With that, he turned around and led his three fellow disciples who had painful expressions on their faces out of the arena.
”Ai — Master, please leave!” After a long pause, Tie Xiaoyun raised his head and watched the four Masters slowly fade away from his line of sight. He clearly understood the mood of the masters and the reason for their departure. In fact, today's main purpose was for the four great masters to come and confirm it. Thus, in the letter from two days ago, it was especially emphasized that he hoped that Shaolin would send out his four great monks to attend the gathering. He didn't expect them to come. In fact, it all meant that he had done what he should have done. In his heart, he was rather grateful to the four masters. Therefore, it would be inconvenient to ask them to stay.
”Mm? —” Lin Xuanzi saw that the Withering Zen Master and his junior brother had suddenly left the scene. His heart was greatly surprised; he had wanted to immediately jump down to see the Great Master. However, seeing the expressions of the few people just now and seeing the departure of Old Manor Lord Tie, it seemed that he didn't want them to stay. Knowing that there must be a special reason, he hesitated for a moment before retracting his right foot.
”Hmm? Brother Lin — What's wrong? ” Rui-Mei bent her head down on Lin Xuanzi's back and stared at him with an affectionate look in her eyes.
”Ah?!” Lin Xuanzi's line of sight was obstructed. Only when he saw the two eyes in front of him did he regain his senses. Suddenly, he felt his entire body awaken as an itchy sensation spread across his entire body as if he had been electrocuted! A fragrant scent wafted in front of him, suffocating him. His face turned red, but he felt like he couldn't move at all.
