”Give it up,” the la of the Fan of Seven Treasures' spinning blades”This is beyond you”
Li Yundong stopped struggling and raised his gazeHe was still lying on his sto invisible that refused to yield notowards hiht hand
Li Yundong clenched his jaw and continued his ineffectual atte…
”It is futile, young otten past the Great Arhat Formation beforeIt doesn't matter hoerful you are” The lama stopped a few feet away”You'll never succeed”
I refuse to give upI refuse!
Li Yundong screaround
”Do you knohy these arhats are so powerful?” the lama asked”Where do you think they draer from? What's the source of their power? Do you know?”
Li Yundong stopped struggling and looked up at the laly”Devotion”
Li Yundong kept staring at the lama
The smirk vanished from the lama's countenance”These arhats draer from the thousands of worshi+ppers who came to Xiyuan Temple to offer their prayersFro hour with our prayer wheels, reciting the verses froht the prayer beads to the front of his chest”This is the power of faith”
Li Yundong watched each of those beads slide across the la out of tiain
”Give it up already” The lahed”Do you not understand the futility of your efforts? The Xiyuan Teht-hundred years of historyThat's what you're up against, you foolEight-hundred years' worth of faith and devotion”
”H- Her na wheezed”Is that her? Is… Is she the one you apprehended?”
”We do not know her name”
”How can you not know?”
”Because we do not care”
Li Yundong clenched his jaw and kept strugglingGod damn it!
A look of disappointment flitted across the lama's features”You really are bewitched, aren't you?”
”Where?” Li Yundong asked, ignoring the laroup of Cultivators found theht the's head shot up”Them?”
”A man and a woman”
A man and a woman? Maybe it wasn't Su Chan after allSu Chan was on the runSurely, she would prefer to travel alone?
”Who are those Cultivators?”
”Didn't ask for their nah they did say that they're based in Mount Donghua”
DonghuaThat nahua Sect was part of the Great SixThat realization 's stoot apprehended by the Cultivators ere part of the assault? What if the other guy was also a disciple of the Fox Zen School? What if the guy and Su Chan had gone into hiding together before they got caught by those Cultivators? Didn't Cao Yi mention that several of the Fox Zen School's disciples weredisciples
But how many male disciples did the Fox Zen School have?
He had no idea; Cao Yi didn't say
”I don't knoho you are, young reat deal of talentSo I will give you a choice” There was a brief pause”RepentGive up now and leaveOtherwise I have no choice but to take things to the next level”
Li Yundong stared at the lafor his answer
”Please… Just letpleaded”Or… Or check my phone! I have a photo of herPleaseI just want to know if it's herIf it isn't her, then I'll go”
The lama's expression turned stony”And what if it's her?” he said in a harsh tone”Will you interfere with the ritual if it's her?”
Li Yundong didn't answer
There was a snort”Fool…”
Li Yundong raised his gaze and saw the la through a series of hand signsSuddenly, the siant arhat
The ground tre lowered his gaze back downA pool of his own blood stared back at hiirl's face when he peeked through thejust nowLong, dark hair? White skin? That's way too generic, and far from distinctive
It wasn't her
It wasn't
It couldn't be, right? Chan'er was so good at stealthShe'd never allow herself to get caught
But what if it's her?
Was he really going to base his decision on a guess, or worse, wishful thinking?
The ground continued to shake; the giant arhat was drawing close
Buddy, he spoke to the Fan of Seven TreasuresI need you to keep the lama occupiedMake sure he can't see h the arhats' formation in order to make its way towards himDon't come towards me, he said, then pausedDon't worry aboutJust iant arhat stopped in front of hi eyes
Li Yundong nal when it's done, he told the fan
The golden staff rose above the arhat's headLi Yundong tried to free his liainBut the restraints (whatever the heck they were) wouldn't give
When the staff slaht he saw starsFor the next few seconds, the arhat beat his body with the staff repeatedly
Li Yundong gritted his teeth and endured those blowsBuddy… Hurry up…
SNAP! A bright flash of golden light appeared sonal!
