Chapter 214: The Birth of the Buddha Treasure (1/2)

Jiang Li saw the thick darkness from the sound world's perspective and was immediately shocked. He woke up from his sleep.

Looking outside, it was already bright outside.

What was that black color?

When he was dreaming, Jiang Li had tried many times. Only living creatures with a certain amount of intelligence could appear in the sound world's perspective.

Therefore, that black color was most likely something alive. It was either a cultivator or a demon beast.

However, he had seen more than one or two people from the sound world's perspective, but he had never seen such a dark color.

What was the source of that black color?

Jiang Li immediately stood up and ran towards the entrance of the Benevolent Travel Temple.

The vermilion door had just been opened as Jiang Li approached it. Before he could walk out, a dense and slightly pungent medicinal smell surged from outside.

Monk Kong'e was welcoming the guests with two monks.

On the other hand, a group of Hundred Tempering Mountain cultivators in crimson robes with a volcano pattern on their chests walked in!

Why were they here? Weren't Benevolent Travel Temple and Hundred Tempering Mountain not too happy previously? Why would they suddenly visit today?

They really brought quite a number of people. There were at least a hundred people.

Especially the group of disciples behind him. Although Jiang Li had never seen them before, they always gave him a familiar feeling.

Could it be that the black color he saw earlier were the people from the Hundred Tempering Mountain?

Although Jiang Li did not know why the people from the Hundred Tempering Mountain had come to Benevolent Travel Temple, he immediately knew that something was amiss.

After all, only the Scripture Storage Valley knew what the Hundred Tempering Mountain was secretly doing. Before the other two families' interests were destroyed, they might not be as determined to stop them.

If they argued in this aspect, there might be many variables that could arise.

”Isn't this the esteemed disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley, Jiang Li?”

When Jiang Li saw the group from the Hundred Tempering Mountain, the other party naturally saw him as well.

What had happened between the two sides had not been completely exposed.

However, the Scripture Storage Valley knew that the other party had attacked their flying ship.

The Hundred Tempering Mountain knew that their dirty secrets were in the hands of the Scripture Storage Valley.

The two sides might not fight to the death, but a battle was inevitable.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally the most cost-effective thing to rope in allies. The Scripture Storage Valley had originally planned to take the initiative to attack, but they did not expect the other party to not be stupid. After discovering that silencing the witnesses had failed, they decisively made a move and sent people here.

”Greetings, Elder Situ. I still have to pay my respects to Master. I'll take my leave first.”

Jiang Li cupped his hands towards the elder and intended to leave. However, a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind.

Although Jiang Li was not weak, he was still as powerless as a child in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

A strange medicinal fragrance immediately entered his nose.

Jiang Li's resistance was extremely shocking, but even then, he was still stunned by the smell and was unable to stand steadily.

At the same time, a sharp pain came from his shoulder. The multiple defenses of his Overlord Body Art were easily corroded by the palm.

It began to spread from his right shoulder as he gradually lost control of his body.

Jiang Li's center of gravity was unstable, and his vision was in chaos. His body was gradually becoming numb, but fortunately, his consciousness could still maintain clarity.

Bang!

The power of the Armored Horse Divine Travel exploded from beneath his feet, and Jiang Li suddenly fled to the side before escaping the other party's palm.

However, because he could not determine his direction at all, he had just fled when he collided with a copper bell beside him.

With a loud sound, the bronze bell caved in.

Shaking his head, the scene before Jiang Li's eyes gradually recovered its clarity. When he looked at the shoulder that the other party had placed on, it was already pitch black.

The dignified Second Elder of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, Situ Tingxin, actually attacked Jiang Li, this junior, without any hesitation!

”Little friend Jiang is indeed capable. Let me size you up again.”

Situ Tingxin looked at his palm and was slightly surprised that Jiang Li was actually able to escape from his grasp. However, he did not give up and intended to attack as soon as he finished speaking.

However, at this moment, someone stood in front of him.

”Amitabha. This is a quiet place of Buddhism. Benefactor Situ, don't be rash.”

It was Monk Kong'e.

”Hahahaha, Dharma Master Kong'e, what are you saying? I was just playing around with the junior.”

”Dharma Master, don't take it to heart. Let's get down to business.”

Situ Tingxin glanced at Jiang Li for the last time before he sneered and followed Monk Kong'e towards the distant hall.

Although Monk Kong'e stopped Situ Tingxin from attacking, he did not arrange for anyone to save Jiang Li.

The few disciples of the Hundred Tempering Mountain who were behind even revealed expressions as if they were watching a show.

After being struck by a Nascent Soul cultivator's move, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator would lose half his life even if he did not die. This outstanding junior who was famous throughout the Great Mountain Region was already crippled.

However, after they left, Jiang Li flipped over and lightly stood up from the ground.

That damned Situ Tingxin's move was extremely sinister.

If he was not saved in time, his bones would have melted in an instant. To a body cultivator, even if he was alive, he would be crippled!

Jiang Li looked in the direction they left in and made a mark on the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

'If I don't make sure all of you die, I'll never sleep in peace again!'

Suppressing his anger for the time being, he amplified his hearing and penetrated hundreds of meters in an attempt to eavesdrop on their conversation.

”Master Kong'e, our Hundred Tempering Mountain has come with extreme sincerity this time. Your esteemed temple will definitely not be disappointed.”

”In addition, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please put in a few words of praise to the Abbot of your esteemed temple.”

However, he had only spoken a few words when Situ Tingxin suddenly stopped. He waved his sleeve and caused the surrounding air to buzz.

”What's wrong, Elder Situ?”

Seeing Situ Tingxin's actions, Kong'e also understood something. However, he did not know who was so bold to eavesdrop on the two Nascent Souls.

”It's fine, it's just a small problem. On the other hand, I saw that Jiang Li from the Scripture Storage Valley is in the monastery as well. I wonder who else came over?”

Jiang Li rubbed his ears. He was not injured by something like this, but he could no longer hear the other party's voice.

Jiang Li's Bodhisattva Heart Sutra had been passed down to an ancient Buddhist Mighty Figure, but his cultivation level was too low.

On the other hand, at the Nascent Soul realm, the cultivator's mind would be able to sense things. As long as someone placed their attention on them, they would sense something. It was too difficult to eavesdrop on their conversation.

However, with just these two sentences, Jiang Li roughly knew that the people from the Hundred Tempering Mountain planned to come here to seek cooperation. Were they going to use benefits to first pull Benevolent Travel Temple to their side?

Jiang Li could not be bothered to tear off the poisonous clothes on his body. He immediately ran to find Elder He and explained the situation to his master.
