556 A Perfect Silence Prevailed (2/2)
Mr. Thirteen versus the president of Commandment Yard.
These names along are enough to shock the cultivation world. The cultivators beside the stream subconsciously suppressed their urge to exclaim in surprise, and they held their breath, staring intently at the scene.
The confrontation between these two Unknown Places would take place in the land of the earth, and ordinary cultivators could watch this battle themselves. How could they not be excited?
There was a sudden silence beside the stream. Only the cry of the kingfishers in the deep grove and the quiet noise of hooves made by the horses eating grass could be heard.
They were waiting to hear that vigorous voice from the carriage again.
They were wondering how the monk from Xuankong Temple would defend against the arrow from the Academy.
Nothing could be heard from the carriage, even after a long time.
The green leaves billowed, and the monk from Xuankong Temple remained silent.
Ning Que had asked whether he dared to catch the arrow or not.
The monk did not answer.
It meant that He dared not.
...
...
Ning Que was not surprised by the monk's reaction.
It was common for ordinary cultivators to naturally revere the legendary Xuankong Temple.
However, he was from the Academy, and he had met monks from Xuankong Temple, so he was not afraid.
Since hearing the copper bell, he had been trying to determine the cultivation state of the monk.
He did not know where the Commandment Yard was nor who the president of Commandment Yard was. However, he was sure that he was by no means as powerful as the powerhouse, the legendary Chief Preaching Monk of Xuankong Temple.
The Buddhism Sect did not require people to cultivate the Five States, but it required them to get the power of understanding.
After hearing his words, he was sure that the monk was from Xuankong Temple and had a power of understanding which equated to the Knowing Destiny State.
If Ning Que had still been in front of Red Lotus Temple, he would have escaped when faced with someone in the Knowing Destiny State.
However, he had already reached the Knowing Destiny State in the autumn rain.
The cultivation state of the monk is higher than that of Prince Long Qing, but he was far behind Long Qing in turns of evil methods.
After Ning Que entered the Knowing Destiny State, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators from the same state to face his Primordial Thirteen Arrows without preparation. Furthermore, he had not shot his arrows out since arriving at the Wa mountain and thus this one would be extremely powerful.
Even if Long Qing reappeared here, he would not be able to catch the arrow anymore.
So he was convinced that the monk was unable to catch it, and he dared not try.
After silently looking at the carriage for a long time, Ning Que smiled and spoke.
”Since you dare not face it, please continue being quiet.”
...
...
”Since you dare not face it, please continue being quiet.”
Even the kingfishers in the deep bamboo grove understood Ning Que's words. And they were too afraid to sing, as were those horses. An absolute silence struck the place.
Looking desperate, Quni Madi could not believe what she saw. Flower Addict who seemed to hold no opinion about anything around her could not help staring at Ning Que, who remained standing at the horse carriage, with a complicated gaze.
Nothing could be heard besides the stream. The crowd were too shocked to believe what they heard. Due to Ning Que's words and the power of the Academy, the monk was forced to remain silent; this shocked everyone.
”One could unexpectedly enter the Knowing Destiny State after three years of cultivation... How could such unreasonable things happen in the world?”
Cheng Ziqing, a master from the Sword Garret of South Jin Kingdom looked at Ning Que standing on the horse carriage and spoke bitterly, ”Senior Brother, you once said that Headmaster was like the tallest building in the world. You said it is hard to find a building as tall as Headmaster. But what makes people frightened is that there are a few more tall buildings in the Academy that are very close to being complete.”
