Chapter 363: Chapter 228 Return
The battle between Qianye Temple and Senluo Sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivators came to a halt that day.
Because both sides’ Golden Core cultivators and Arhats had entered the battlefield, the terrifying aura made all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Buddhas realize that something had gone wrong.
The Devil Cultivators and Buddhas all withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only the Golden Core cultivators and Arhats remaining.
Three Golden Core Demon Cultivators and four Arhats faced each other in the sky, while four Righteous Path Golden Core cultivators stood at a distance, watching. At this moment, these four Golden Core cultivators could not intervene.
“Senluo Sect truly shows its demonic nature, even disregarding the most important rules of the Cultivation World by dispatching Golden Core Elders to participate in Foundation Establishment battles. This fight has revealed the true face of the Demon Sect to all cultivators!” Zhi Ming Arhat, though a high monk, had a venomous tongue.
He wasn’t usually like this; the main reason was that Jue Tu Buddha had disappeared, and his figure was not found on the battlefield.
Although the battlefield was vast for Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Buddhas, for Golden Core cultivators and Arhats, they could inspect the entire area in a very short time.
Though not an Arhat, Jue Tu Buddha was the most likely to become one, and he was also the most powerful among them.
To cultivate Jue Tu Buddha, Qianye Temple had paid a great price. Not to mention resources, just the continuous search for cultivators to kill over a hundred years was an unimaginable expenditure of human effort.
At the most critical time of Jue Tu Buddha’s growth, to be killed by a Golden Core Demon Cultivator was intolerable.
If Senluo Sect did not give an explanation, it was possible that a major battle would erupt between Golden Core cultivators and Arhats right then.
“Qianye Temple, how crafty of you to deceive Elder Lv into the battlefield with Foundation Establishment strength and set up a trap to kill him. And now you turn around and cry foul!” the Golden Core Demon Cultivator roared furiously.
Both sides were making conjectures without evidence, just throwing mud at each other.
However, the problem was that Senluo Sect had lost a Golden Core Middle Stage Elder, whereas Qianye Temple, at worst, had only lost a Buddha.
Even the four Righteous Path Golden Core cultivators standing at a distance looked at Qianye Temple’s Arhats with skeptical eyes, wondering by what means they had trapped Elder Lv.
Even though the Righteous Path Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t side with a Demon Sect like Senluo Sect, they began to believe that Senluo Sect’s claims might be true.
Elder Lv, a mid-stage cultivator and an old-brand Golden Core Demon Cultivator, had laid low for the last century, but a hundred years ago, his ferocity was well known.
To say that such a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, after suppressing his power, could be killed by a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, was simply impossible.
If Elder Lv had indeed fallen, then without Qianye Temple’s interference, there wouldn’t be any other explanation.
And on the matter of Elder Lv’s demise, Senluo Sect would not likely lie; such a thing could not be hidden.
The death of an elder from a major sect implicated many interests within the sect; whether the elder had fallen or not could be ascertained by observing Senluo Sect’s internal reaction.
“Nonsense, it was clearly Evil Lv who killed our temple’s Jue Tu and then fled!” Zhi Ming Arhat retorted angrily.
At this point, Zhi Ming Arhat’s body flashed with golden light, and his Spiritual Power erupted, looking as though he would be the first to strike.
He knew that with four against three, once the fight started and he called upon the adjacent four Righteous Path Golden Core cultivators, they could kill the three Golden Core Demon Cultivators under the advantage of eight against three.
Although the plan to kill a generation of Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators had not been successfully executed, if they could eliminate all four Golden Core Demon Cultivators, it would still deal a heavy blow to Senluo Sect.
“Hmph!”
“Amitabha!”
Two voices rang out simultaneously on the battlefield, stopping everyone who was on the verge of a Golden Core battle.
“Greetings to the Ancestor!”
“Greetings to the Venerable!”
The Golden Core cultivators and Arhats on both sides bowed to the void as it turned out that both parties had Nascent Souls and Venerables secretly safeguarding them.
“Amitabha, Qianye Temple, withdraw!” The Venerable’s voice echoed in the void, making it impossible to discern its location, yet it seemed to resound right by one’s ear.
“Senluo Sect, return to your posts!” Senluo Sect’s Nascent Soul Ancestor also spoke.
It seemed that the Ancestors and Venerables from both parties had reached some tacit understanding and did not wish to escalate the situation at this time.
Li Yuan Ba looked at the items in his storage bag: a set of 1,500 Frenel reflection mirrors with self-destruct mechanisms, not fearing them falling into the wrong hands, a large jade bottle of Elixir Pills, and the Lifebound Flying Sword treasure obtained from Yun Xingyi.
This Lifebound Flying Sword treasure was originally reserved for Li Yuan Ba; he had intended to join Senluo Sect and was uncertain about the problems he might encounter, so it had always been kept by his true self, Li Shiming.
Li Yuan Ba did not possess the protected space of a sanctuary, making his storage space highly likely to be inspected and revealing the existence of the Lifebound Flying Sword treasure.
A Lifebound Flying Sword treasure was enough to incite greed in any Golden Core Demon Cultivator who saw it, which wouldn’t only bring him benefits but could also bring immense danger.
The Frenel reflection mirrors were for cultivating “Purple Qi Eastward,” a special Cultivation Technique greatly beneficial to his true self, Li Shiming.
As for the large jade bottle of Elixir Pills, they were naturally thirty top-grade pills.
These were conserved by his true self, Li Shiming, who has now reached the peak of early-stage Foundation Establishment. He was about to break through the bottleneck, and no longer needed such Foundation Establishment Stage auxiliary pills for his cultivation.
