447 Master Yuan Hui (2/2)
”I simply cannot understand your words. Besides, you have already searched through the temple. My disciples and I are the only ones here. There is no one else around.”
”You aren't telling?” When Lu Zhangke heard her words, he cackled coldly and seized one of the young nuns beside Hui Xin. He then looked at her with a perverted expression. ”I've wandered about Western Region freely for decades, and I have countless maids-in-waiting. I have never rejected any form of the female body.
”Heh heh, your disciples look lovely and beautiful. Old nun, surely you can't bear to see anything happen to them, do you?”
”You shameless pervert, let go of me!”
”Mistress!”
When the nuns saw that their companion had been dragged into the evil old man's embrace, they instantly turned pale.
For the first time ever, anxiety and anger appeared on Hui Xin's face.
”Amitabha, this is a quiet ground for Buddhists. We will not allow such an evil person like you to act as you please here!”
”Hmph, old nun, stop trying to lecture me. Tell me where the Emei Sect disciples are, and I will release your precious disciple, or else… Heh, I will take all of your disciples back to Eternal Peace Temple to warm my bed!”
Lu Zhangke was infamous for being a lecher. His semi-serious threat terrified Hui Xin and the young nuns so much that their faces turned completely pale.
”Amitabha!” The Yuan Dynasty soldiers had surrounded the temple and Leader Hui Xin knew that her disciples could not hope to break free, so she called out the name of Buddha, ready to destroy everything.
But her disciples were under the control of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers. Even though Hui Xin had the ability to kill herself and bring the others down, she could not bring herself to kill the disciples she had brought up herself. She gritted her teeth in exasperation while trembling.
”Amitabha.”
At that moment, an unexpected voice calling out the name of Buddha was heard!
An old monk dressed in a yellow kasaya walked out from the forest. He seemed to be moving slowly, but he actually traveled very quickly and stopped behind the Yuan Dynasty soldiers. ”You refuse to even spare votarists? Lu Zhangke, you are truly a person with no morals. Aren't you afraid of being struck by karma? Aren't you afraid of having your tongue ripped out and heart dug out when you die and go to hell?”
”Where did you come from, old monk?”
Lu Zhangke released the young nun in his hands and snorted coldly. There was a hostile look on his face when he turned toward the old monk.
”Are you a disciple of the Shaolin Temple?”
”Indeed.” The old man with a white beard nodded slowly. ”Shaolin Temple was nearly destroyed by you lapdogs of the imperial court, but unfortunately for you, I survived. This time, I brought along a group of people with the same goals to seek justice from you. I also want to obtain something from you!”
When Lu Zhangke heard the monk acknowledging his identity, his expression changed, but he calmly delivered a palm strike.
Whoosh!
The old monk's expression did not change. His robes fluttered as if they were blown by a violent gust of wind, but his legs remained like pillars, and he did not move while calmly looking at his opponent.
Lu Zhangke sucked in a sharp breath, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. ”I never asked for your Dharma name, master!”
”I do not have a Dharma name. I am but a humble warrior monk from Shaolin Temple…” Once the old monk said that, he continued on by saying, ”I came here to advise you to not do something so perverse, and I am also here to ask you to give me something.”
Lu Zhangke already knew that the monk in front of him had unfathomable strength, which was why he asked in a dark voice, ”What do you want?”
”The antidote for Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder,” the old monk answered.
When Lu Zhangke heard that, he chuckled coldly. ”I see, so you want to save the people from the six great sects? Unfortunately for you, I don't have the antidote with me.”
”Looks like I will have to defeat you before you are willing to tell me the truth, patron…”
Right after he finished speaking, the old monk opened his eyes, and his presence instantly changed drastically.
