jinshan temple.

at this moment in the daxiong treasure hall, apart from abbot xuankong who had not appeared, all the xuan generation high monks were gathered together.

even monk xuan nian, who hadn’t left the scripture repository for decades, appeared here, looking grief-stricken.

jinshan temple might not be at peace after this.

“senior brother, what exactly happened? have we already been exposed? but we have kept ourselves in line, except for that incident eight years ago, we haven’t done anything outrageous since.”

as the head of the discipline hall, xuan ji has a more fiery temper, and his face looks somewhat ugly at this moment. after hearing this, xuan nan shook his head.

“the situation is still unclear, and our random guessing is of no use at this point. however, since things have come to this, we can only prepare for the worst.”

as the chief of reception, xuan nan is in charge of external affairs and is most familiar with the situation in jinzhou city. he is also somewhat puzzled as to why the county government office is doing this.

“however, we can’t all go out. elder brother xuan ku, i’m afraid i’m going to have to ask you to guard abbot elder brother. no matter what happens, don’t let anyone disturb our elder brother.

we’ll try to buy as much time as possible, but we don’t know when our elder brother will make a breakthrough to the innate realm. if he does, everything will no longer be a problem.

an innate master can stabilize a country all by himself. even if our true identities are revealed, not to mention jinzhou city, i’m afraid the entire state capital will be reluctant to act.”

for martial artists in the world, breaking through the postnatal nine-realm is already difficult, let alone becoming an innate grandmaster, where only one in a thousand succeeds.

the gap between the postnatal nine-realm and the innate may seem like only a step apart, but they are as different as the sky and the earth, not to be mentioned in the same breath.

no matter how talented a martial artist is in the world, reaching the postnatal nine-realm before the age of sixty can only mean that they have a chance to reach the innate level. however, how many people have tried all their lives without success?

take the dayan dynasty, for example, there are only seven innate grandmasters on the surface, each of whom has a prestigious reputation and suppresses the martial world of the present age.

of course, the dayan dynasty would not be able to maintain its rule over the nine provinces if it only relied on its openly displayed powers. now, facing the sudden siege of jinshan temple by jinzhou city, their foremost priority is ensuring xuankong’s safety.

as long as he survives, the line of inheritance at jinshan temple will not be extinguished. the other high monks affirm their determination upon hearing this.

at this moment, only one thought remains in their hearts: at any cost, even if it means all of them dying, they must protect abbot elder brother from harm. of course, their greatest hope is still that nothing will happen.

the monks from the discipline hall are already gathered, and xuan ji holds his hands together in a prayer, “amitabha.”

although the other monks and novice monks look frightened, they all sit in silence, as the buddha once said that all the suffering in the world is a calamity, and only by overcoming the calamity can one achieve great freedom.

the xuan generation high monks are prepared to die generously, and at this moment liang ying is sitting somewhat stiffly in the guest room, as hongzhi is guarding the door with a face full of hatred.

with hongzhi only at the postnatal seven-realm, it would be effortless for liang ying to leave, but he doesn’t want to cause further misunderstanding.

if this were ten years earlier, liang ying might have kicked hongzhi away if he dared to be so rude.

but now, every member of the liang family with a high-level martial arts bloodline is someone liang ying needs to protect, as things are different now.

with the current situation, as long as xia zhiqiu is in jinzhou city, the liang family may have to cling to life for one more day.

and the duty of liang ying and the others is to protect the future. their generation has no chance against xia zhiqiu, but they must withstand the pressure, and give the next generation time to grow. therefore, liang qi, with the liang family bloodline, is the person he wants to win over.

hongzhi stared at the grief-stricken look on liang ying’s face, feeling that the other party was hypocritical, and said coldly, “today’s disaster is all because of you. i left the liang family for your sake many years ago, and i never thought i’d still cause the temple to suffer because of you today.”

“brother qi, oh, no, master hongzhi, you really misunderstood. this time, there won’t be any danger to jinshan temple. county lord xia is just here to look for someone.

of course, 1 don’t know why he suddenly changed his mind and went on a high-profile search for someone. i’m afraid something must have happened, but i’ve been on the mountain all the time and don’t know the reason.

but 1 can guarantee that the county lord has absolutely no intention of targeting jinshan temple. otherwise, why would 1 stay here?””

“really?”

seeing that liang ying’s expression didn’t seem to be fake, liang qi thought of the decisive expressions he had seen on the faces of the xuan generation high monks just before and couldn’t help but change his face.
