Chapter 593: The Wind in Lanke Temple

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

There was no wind in Chang'an today .

On the towering wall, a flag fluttered listlessly . Suddenly, the flag perked up and danced, telling the people of the country that something was about to happen .

In the hawk's nest between the bluestone and the city walls, an eagle was feeding its young . It suddenly felt a terrifying aura and fluffed up, looking at the skies in fear . However, it did not see anything other than the autumn clouds .

In the verdant valley south of the Tang Empire, a lone horse carriage traveled on the state highway . Suddenly, dozens of circular pieces of gravel on the path started rolling around, startling the horse .

Pa.s.sing through the canyon and across the bridge at Qinghe County, a gale started at the wide and boundless Great Lake . The white autumn reeds in the water fell, as if surrendering to certain forces .

The priest in the Taoist temple at the Kingdom of Qi's capital stood by the stone window and looked at the white line across the blue autumn sky . His wrinkles were filled with horror and he prayed silently .

In the Sword Garret of South Jin Kingdom, at the bottom of the dark hollow belly of the mountain, just beside a small quiet lake was an ordinary straw cottage . The most powerful man in the world stood before it . He raised his head slowly and looked at the sky . The sword inside the straw cottage started to buzz and vibrate .

In the distant southern sea, on the edge of a volcanic island tumbling with magma, the waves kept splas.h.i.+ng against the black rocks on the sh.o.r.e . The hazy figure of a Taoist in indigo appeared between the waves and the rocks . He looked at the land in the distance and shook his head .

There weren't any winds in the world, but the wind started in Chang'an . It drew a straight line between the heavens and the earth, with the line crossing the Tile mountain in the southeast and across several scenic spots in the Kingdom of Qi .

In the remote mountain path, two horses trudged forth slowly . A man with a high crown sat on the horse in front, and a little child attendant carrying a sword sat on the horse behind .

. . .

. . .

The wind arrived at Lanke Temple .

The looming Light of Buddha's tactical array sensed the approaching winds and immediately reacted . The pale golden Light of Buddha formed a semicircular dome, covering the entire ancient temple .

The yellow-garbed monks in the temple sat with their knees crossed and meditated with their eyes closed . They chanted scriptures as the 17 ancient bells chimed in the distance .

The wind approached the Lanke Temple but was stopped by the Light of Buddha's tactical array . The first collision occurred .

There was a loud boom! It was like Haotian waving a divine hammer dancing through the lightning and dark clouds, hammering on the golden dome of light covering the Temple!

The terrifying force reverberated in the Lanke Temple . Several yellow-clad monks protecting and supporting the tactical array made up by the Light of Buddha spat out blood with the sound . The courtyard was filled with blood splatters .

The sound of this collision was too loud, and even the sounds of the distant bells were buried under . The collision caused the cultivators in the temple to cover their ears and scream . They fell to the ground and could not get back up .

This was the Lanke Temple's Light of Buddha tactical array . The stone Buddha statue on Tile mountain was the basis of this array, and the spirit of Buddha in the ancient temple supported it . It was guarded by dozens of yellow-clad monks who had high cultivation states and was presided by the World Wayfarer of the Buddhism Sect, Qi Nian . However, under the collision of the aura, it showed signs of failing . How strong was that aura? It even made one feel as if it should not exist in this world!

What frightened those in the temple even more was that after the person was stopped by the Light of Buddha's tactical array, the person did not give any signs of stopping . He continued to rush toward the temple!

The dozens of collisions caused a whirling cesspool of aura to appear almost simultaneously above the Light . The Light of Buddha's tactical array was attacked multiple times in a short period like iron pieces that were constantly struck by an iron hammer, deformed and twisted . It was at risk of breaking down!

The cultivators in the temple knelt on the ground and covered their ears in pain . Some of them who had lower cultivations could not withstand the attack and began to vomit .

The yellow-garbed monks were directly hurt by the impact . Some of them began to bleed from their eyes . However, they continued to chant the scriptures . Their voices grew hoa.r.s.e as if they were crying and yelling .

Ye Su's expression remained serene . He looked up at the struggling aura above the dome of Buddha's Light . He thought to himself silently about how highly he regarded that person, but the person was stronger than he had imagined .

Tang looked up at the sky as well . He looked at the white falling fragments caused by the impact on the dome of Light and was brought back to the first time he saw the man in the Wilderness . He could not reconcile the image of the slow man beside the ox cart who had a gentle and respectful expression with what he was seeing .

Qi Nian's expression had turned grave . However, he was the only person in the temple who had retained his composure . He had known long ago that he could not hide this from that person and he would come sooner or later .

Everyone knew of the World Wayfarers . But they did not know that to him, Ye Su and Tang, there existed only one man who was important to them . It was just that they had never seen the man strike out over the years and did not know what state he had reached . Today, Qi Nian could finally see it for himself, and while he was respectful and frightened, he remained extremely confident .

The Buddhism Sect had prepared a long time for this . They were well prepared for various situations . No matter how strong that person was, he was but just one person . And he was a good man .

Qi Nian lifted his arm and flicked his finger with a serene expression . A pure Buddha's aura launched into the air and landed on an ancient bell beside a plum tree at an inconspicuous corner of the temple . The bell rang once more .
