866 Monk Xiaoyue (1/2)
Xiaoyue's words were filled with helplessness and sadness.
”During these 20 years, no mater how bad the situation or how much the Lu Family forced us, our Cangling World people never any intentions to change our faith. 3 years ago, the Buddhist Decree that landed made the people of our world delighted.”
She then spoke bitterly, ”However, we waited for 20 years and nothing happened. To the few Buddhist Venerables and Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha, our small amount of Wish Power wasn't much to them. Xiaoyue thought about how the Buddhist Faction has billions of disciples and if each person had demands and wishes, how would the Buddhist Venerable even have time to deal with them all? Who knows when will he will be able to truly descend...”
When Jingyin heard this a weird expression appeared on her face as she exclaimed, ”Master! Why do you say that?”
Xiaoyue shook her head and didn't reply.
Zong Shou was shocked at the side. Taking one out of ten kids, no wonder the Cangling World people would hate the Lu Family so much.
He shook his head, he could hear the hidden grievances within this Monk Xiaoyue's words, not to mention, he didn't know about the wishes of the Cangling World people before.
Even if he did, why did he have to bother with the wishes of some people who had nothing to do with him?
Did he really have to help if people asked? What kind of theory and logic was that?
However, when he heard those words, for some reason, Zong Shou felt a little guilty.
However, if he wanted to snatch food from the mouth of the tiger, to snatch this world from the Lu Family, he would have to cross swords with them several times.
He shook his head and waved away all these random thoughts. His Father and Mother matter, Bloodline battle. His grievances with Lu Wushuang, all these things were already really problematic and he didn't want to be wrapped up in much more.
He remembered that Zhao Yanran always said that his heart was too soft. He didn't want to admit it, but at this moment, if that crazy woman learned of his thoughts now, she would definitely mock him.
If Yiren found out, she would probably go all out to help the people of this world.
”Don't blame me, I have acted out of my normal demeanor.”
At this moment, Xiaoyue had recovered back to normal and smiled, ”I came to find you for another matter. These few days when I viewed the situation within your body, I learned some things. If I am right, you have the Sky Burning Lu Family blood in you?”
Suddenly, there was a crisp crashing sound as the rice box in Jingyin's hand was flipped. She looked at Zong Shou in disbelief. Her hands clenched tightly as she gritted her teeth, blood seeping down.
It was like she didn't expect the person she kindly saved was the evil devil that she kept talking about.
”If it was 3 days ago, I might have really done that.”
Xiaoyue shook her head, ”A few days ago, Lu Family Yantian Manor suddenly sent a decree with 10,000 gold and hundred years of lifespan as a reward to search for someone who was burning a white flame, no matter if he was dead or alive. Now they have bared their fangs and are searching all around. They went to all the rare and secluded areas of this world. This is why I boldly guessed that you are in a tough situation within the Lu Family. At least you are enemies with the Yantian Manor Head. Your bloodline is pure and your identity must be high in the Lu Family...”
Zong Shou had spent several days here and roughly knew that the Yantian Manor were the ones in charge of this world from the Lu Family.
The Manor Head was also the Ruler of this world.
He was a really smart person and at this moment knew what Xiaoyue meant.
Since they couldn't fight head-on, then they would fight them from within.
His lips curled, ”You are smart and know about the Lu Family internal conflicts. However, I can only disappoint you. Although I have their blood, I have a different surname. To them I am just a bastard, a humiliation that has to be removed. I also have no intention to fight for the Sky Burning Saint Emperor spot. I think it is best for you to not have such thoughts...”
His words were totally true. Based on what he knew, at this moment, there were many people in the Lu Family who thought that way about Zong Shou.
The moment he said this, Xiaoyue's expression changed. On the other hand, Jingyin heaved a sigh of relief. The look in her eyes relaxed.
”Why would I?”
Xiaoyue gave an ugly smile and was just about to say something. She saw Zong Shou frown and look toward the people at the cliff.
She was shocked, the two of them looked out along his line of sight and their faces turned ashen white, only to see that smoke and dust billowed in the distance. A bunch of cavalry were charging about in the dense forest. Where they passed the trees would collapse, birds and beasts fleeing for their lives.
They were all Grade-6 Dao Soldiers, 2,000 of them who charged right outside the convent.
Even if they knocked into those kneeling and praying devotees, they still didn't stop.
Flesh and blood sprayed everywhere. A few hundred people were smashed into meat paste by these cavalry.
Xiaoyue and Jingyin's eyes popped out in fury. They then closed their eyes and chanted ”Unlimited Beginning and End”.
Zong Shou's pupils also constricted, a cold look appeared on his face.
Without even needing to guess, he knew why this army appeared here.
Strictly speaking, these people had died because of him.
After the Lu Family cavalry, there were tens of thousands of rumbling troops who rushed over.
They charged right through tens of thousands of devotees, splitting them into broken groups.
