Chapter 249 Not Worthy to Fight Me

This caught the attention of the onlookers near the Lotus Dais .

“The nuns from Cloud Shine Nunnery?” A few people exclaimed in surprise .

More than ten nuns appeared on the dais before they bowed and greeted everyone .

“Wu Nian of Cloud Shine Nunnery greets everyone . ”

The appearance of Cloud Shine Nunnery’s Buddhist Master Wu Nian caused everyone to fall silent .

If the Heavenly Sword Sect had such a helper, the outcome would be difficult to predict .

Luo Xingkong cupped his fists at Wu Nian and said, “Thank you for your help, Buddhist Master . ”

The female Buddhist Master, Wu Nian, rose to fame a century ago . She was the greatest elite of Cloud Shine Nunnery . Who would have expected that the Cloud Shine Nunnery would help the Heavenly Sword Sect?

Hua Wudao turned to look at Lu Zhou, who was still resting his spirits with his eyes closed, and said, “Pavilion Master . ”

“I know . ” Lu Zhou did not open his eyes . He was, naturally, prepared for the possibility of their opponents having outside help . Apart from that, it seemed like their opponents had more than one helper .

Wu Nian glanced at Luo Xingkong . Then, she raised her palm and softly chanted sutras as she waved her horsetail whisk .

A light blue radiant circle appeared under Luo Xingkong’s feet . It shone as brightly as the stars in the night sky .

“The Buddhist healing technique, the Merciful Ark of Salvation . ”

Luo Xingkong was moved . “Thank you, Buddhist Master . ”

Wu Nian nodded and turned to look at Mingshi Yin . “Dear benefactor, I’ve been observing from a pavilion in the distance . The Heavenly Sword Sect has already been dealt a great blow . The Evil Sky Pavilion would be discourteous if it insists on oppressing the weak . ”

Mingshi Yin chuckled and said, “Don’t preach about courtesy to me . I’m no righteous man… So what if I want to oppress the weak? What are you going to do about it? Fight me?” He looked at his master as he thought to himself, ‘I f*cking enjoy oppressing the weak through my affiliation with master . ’

“Benefactor, there’s no need to use such crude words… There’s a saying about justice being in the hearts of the people, and there can be no waves without the wind . I can’t bear to watch this so I’d like to discuss this with you . ”

Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes and said, “Here comes another lecture . ”

Wu Nian said, “I merely wish to put an end to this conflict so that it wouldn’t escalate further . ”

“Why didn’t you show up earlier then? Are you only showing up now to protect your little man?” Mingshi Yin said with a sneer .

“You!” Wu Nian was an elite of the Cloud Shine Nunnery . She was respected and praised by many . How could she endure such snide remarks?

Wu Nian was about to leap into rage when two words rang clearly in the air . “Wu Nian . ”

Everyone on the Lotus Dais clearly heard the voice . It seemed to have come from the cloud-splitting chariot . Everyone shifted their attention to the chariot immediately .

Lu Zhou opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet . He stood at the bow of the flying chariot and looked down at the Lotus Dais with his hands on his back . It seemed like the Evil Sky Pavilion’s master, the greatest villain under the heavens, was finally about to make his move .

Buddhist Master Wu Nian raised her head slightly . A look of shock briefly flitted across her face before she said, “Old benefactor . ”

“Do you recognize me?” Lu Zhou asked .

Wu Nian shook her head and said, “This is our first meeting . ” “Is Jing Yan faring well these days?” Lu Zhou asked .

“… Old benefactor, do you know my master?” Wu Nian was shocked . Her voice was slightly shaking .

Lu Zhou sighed and said, “It’s the teacher’s fault for not properly teaching and disciplining the pupil . How can Jing Yan have a disciple like you who can’t differentiate between right and wrong?” “Why do you say that, old benefactor?” Wu Nian asked .

“I thought she would focus on her cultivation and manage the Cloud Shine Nunnery well when I granted her the Jade Horsetail Whisk . What a shame…”

When the Jade Horsetail Whisk was mentioned, Wu Nian’s expression changed slightly . The Jade Horsetail Whisk is from the Evil Sky Pavilion?’

The audience was in an uproar again .

When Luo Xingkong saw Wu Nian’s mood seemed to have darkened, he hastily said, “Don’t be fooled by the old villain . Please help me, Buddhist Master…” After saying this, he moved in front of Wu Nian and looked up before he shouted, “Old villain, do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Lu Zhou surveyed the buildings around the Lotus Dais . He wondered where the Heavenly Sword Sect’s other helpers were hiding . ‘Aren’t they coming out?’

“I thought you’d be able to tell right from wrong, seeing as you’re the former Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect . I thought you would be able to offer something substantial on the Lotus Dais… I’m truly disappointed,” Lu Zhou spoke calmly and slowly, “You prattle on and on about compassion, duty, propriety, and integrity, and yet, you kill without mercy . You pride yourself on being part of the Noble Path, and yet, the words that come out from your mouth are far from decent . On top of that, you continue to remain oblivious to it all . You’re truly a shame to your predecessors . ”

“You!” Luo Xingkong suddenly felt his chest tighten . These words stung, especially since they came from Lu Zhou .

Mingshi Yin chimed in, “You might not be aware of this, but you’ve become a laughingstock…” Laughter rang out around the Lotus Dais in a timely manner after Mingshi Yin spoke . Nobody cared if they were from the Noble Path or some renowned sect, they only knew Luo Changfeng had committed some despicable acts .

At this moment, Luo Xingkong seemed to be reminded of the insults and sneers from the crowd . Moreover, the insults seemed to grow more and more profane by the minute .

Someone shouted, “Luo Xingkong, you’ve lived for so many centuries in vain . You can’t even defeat his disciple, but you dare to challenge him! Do you have any shame?”

“That old thief thinks too highly of himself . He’s old and weak with a battered body . All he can do now is bark furiously at his opponent… How brazen!”

Upon hearing these words, Luo Xingkong’s eyes widened before he threw up blood due to his surging Qi and boiling blood .

“Sect master!”

“Sect master!”

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciples rushed toward Luo Xingkong .

Luo Xingkong’s eyes were opened so wide that it seemed as though they were going to pop out of their sockets . His chest rose and fell heavily . When Buddhist Master Wu Nian saw this, she said, “Amitabha . Step aside . ”

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciples took a step back .

Wu Nian waved her horsetail whisk . A faint blue light shone on Luo Xingkong .

Lu Xingkong spat out another mouthful of blood .

Mingshi Yin shook his head and said, “This is the backlash from his anger . The Merciful Ark of Salvation would only expedite his death instead of healing him . ”

When Buddhist Master Wu Nian heard this, she immediately retracted her Jade Horsetail Whisk .

Ten nuns stepped forward and surrounded Luo Xingkong

They joined their palms together and began chanting a sutra .

“Meditation Dharani?” Mingshi Yin sneered and said, “Old thief, just give up… Why do you have to do this? Do you want to stay alive so badly just to listen to the insults that are being hurled at you?”

“You… you… you…” Luo Xingkong panted heavily .

“Your problems will be over once you’re dead . You won’t have anything to hold onto… Listen to me, just go on your way . Moreover, there’s no way you can defeat my master . It’s really not that bad . You’ll be the first person to be angered to death by the Evil Sky Pavilion . You’ll be famous!”

Luo Xingkong’s anger reached his heart . His chaotic Primal Qi exploded in his meridian vessels, and he took his last breath . His head lolled to the side as the strength escaped his body .

The entire place was silent .

The ten nuns had stopped chanting the Meditation Dharani as well .

The onlookers were baffled and shocked . The great former Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Luo Xingkong, was angered to death?

A palpable silence loomed over the entire place . Even the sound of a needle dropping would resound loudly at this moment .

Lu Zhou heard the notification of the 1,500 merit points reward from the system . It seemed like angering someone to death was also counted as the Evil Sky Pavilion’s doing . He really did not expect Luo Xingkong to die in such a manner . Moreover, he did not even have a chance to make his move yet . This was destined to be a joke in the cultivation world .

Mingshi Yin said with feigned innocence, “Don’t look at me… This has nothing to do with me . I was just kindly offering my advice!”

“Amitabha… A hurtful remark is as cold as six months of winter . I did what I could . ” Wu Nian sighed softly . She turned around and looked at her ten disciples before she calmly said, “Let’s return . ”

Lu Zhou said indifferently, “You’re not going anywhere . ”
