866 Monk Xiaoyue (2/2)

Those Grade-6 Dao Soldiers were still okay. After they arrived, they stood quietly outside the mountain gates.

The other cavalry all laughed in an unrestrained manner. Some of them waved their whips, chasing those devotees and whipping them.

What was weird was that although the Cangling World people were dodging, their expressions were numb, like they didn't fear death at all. Sometimes they just stood there, allowing those cavalry to step over them or letting themselves get whipped.

Zong Shou instantly frowned. Such a situation surprised him.

These Cangling World people were just normal civilians and had no strength to resist the army. If they resisted now, it would be no different from them just asking to die.

However, looking at the situation they weren't afraid of dying. Since that was the case, then why didn't they go all out to fight against the enemies.

Just as he was finding it weird, Xiaoyue opened her mouth, ”The Buddhist Faction mentioned that life is like a bubble, life and death is just a process. Life is a continuous process that would go through many cycles. This life is just a small portion of the line which is why even if you face hardship, there is no need to be angry, to hate. One can just bear with it and wait for the next life. If sincere devotees die, they can enter the Pure Land of Amitabha. Most of them had been through really sad and tragic matters and just wished to die. They anticipated the next life or a chance to enter that world. Although those people are evil, it is what they wished would happen...”

Zong Shou listened and was in deep thought. The Buddhist scriptures he recalled didn't say the same thing.

Apart from reincarnation, the Buddhist Faction talked about morals and persuaded people to be kind.

Why did it become twisted to such an extent in Cangling World?

His heart was filled with fury and depression. He couldn't stand such devotees from the Buddhist Faction who chased for the next life and the future.

What he paid most attention to was the present moment, to fight for the current day!

”To us, one really can't see any hope in this life. Rather than live on like this, why not just die!”

After saying this, Xiaoyue bowed toward Zong Shou and said, ”Just now I did in fact have unspeakable thoughts. However, with my current situation, as long as I am able to let my Cangling World Brothers and Sisters break away from this hardship, I would be willing to try all kinds of methods. Please forgive me if I had angered you. At this moment, the convent has matters and forgive me for not being able to accompany you. Jingyin has a special identity, her parents died in the battle against the Lu Family. Please take care of her...”

Before she said this, there were already changes below. A green-armored male galloped out from the army.

He coldly looked at the shut convent and waved his sleeves.

It caused the old wooden gates to be broken. Like it was a signal, the soldiers behind him charged in like wolves and tigers.

All of a sudden, screams broke out from within the convent. The female monks within all fled.

Xiaoyue didn't dare stay any longer, with a flash she left this area.

Jingyin clenched her fists once more. Right as she wanted to leave along with Xiaoyue, a strong power suppressed her onto the ground.

Without needing to think, she knew that it was Zong Shou. She instantly stared at him furiously.

Zong Shou turned around and looked at her curiously, ”Are you anticipating the next life too?”

Jingyin didn't think about it and instinctively shook her head, ”Master said that for Buddhist cultivators, each cycle, each life is really important. We can't be numb and unkind and not fight. We can't give up everything just because we know there is a future life. All feelings are part of cultivation and we need to pay close attention to understand and learn from them.”

Zong Shou's impression of Xiaoyue changed greatly.

These words were a great fit for his tastes.

”Since you aren't anticipating the next life, then just stay here and watch!”

While speaking, Zong Shou spread out his Spiritual Sense to avoid all detection, covering the entire convent.

A sharp and cold intent flashed across his eyes, filled with killing intent.

In just 7 days, he could break into the Celestial Realm and break away from this Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Technique.

He wasn't willing to be followed and noticed by Lu Wushuang.

However, if he had no choice, then there was no other way.

He couldn't let the thousands of female monks die because of him.

They saved him and in doing so had caused great disaster for themselves.

Compared to Lu Wushuang's chasing and killing, he wasn't willing to feel guilty and responsible for others.

Moments later, his eyes were filled with seriousness.

The killing intent slowly retracted.

The soldiers below looked really menacing and some of them had evil glows in their eyes.

However, who knows whether it was due to the strict army rules in the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty or if they were worried about something, they followed all the rules within the convent.
