Chapter 1213

"No wonder there's a saying in the world."

Penglai Island Master was so angry that he laughed and glanced at the leading monks.

"In times of chaos, Taoist priests would descend the mountain to save the world, while monks would close their doors to avoid calamity. When the golden age comes, the Daoists will live in seclusion in the mountains, while the monks will go out to make money! "

"You Buddhists speak of delivering the masses from suffering, but it turns out that there's still a distinction between regions. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the Buddha Emperor of the Western Heaven?!"

Penglai Island Master's tone was impolite, which was quite different from his usual calm demeanor.

As soon as they entered the door, these bald donkeys were certain that they were here to ask for reinforcements. Their tone of wanting to stay out of this matter was infuriating.

He from Penglai did not consider himself a person of noble character and unquestionable integrity. However, ever since he returned to the starry sky with Gu Chen, he had been running around to save the Ninth Realm!

This bunch of bald donkeys sat in the temple all day long, enjoying incense and promoting the Dharma of delivering all living beings from suffering. However, they were unwilling to do their part for the safety of the common people. The more they thought about it, the more hypocritical they became!

The Island Lord's words were too impolite. This caused the high monks of the Great Leiyin Monastery to explode.

"Amitabha! Almsgiver's words are a bit too much. My Great Thunderclap Temple is the number one temple in the Western Sky, a sacred and solemn place. How can you compare us to an inferior Buddhist temple? "

"It's not that we don't care about the safety of the common people, it's just that we don't have the strength to do so. If we send troops, it will only cause the Western Heaven Star Domain to be dragged into the flames of war!"

Some of the eminent monks either explained or berated them, while others simply shook their heads and lowered their eyes, choosing to remain silent. Clearly, they knew that they were in the wrong.

Gu Chen didn't stop Penglai Island Master from arguing with the group of monks since their behavior disappointed him.

At this moment, he completely dispelled the idea of seeking an alliance between the Buddhist sects and the Celestial Court. Everyone had their own aspirations, and a melon that was forcefully twisted would not be sweet!

"If the three of you only want to argue with me here, please leave the Tempest Temple! Otherwise, you'll be asking for trouble! "

Ruoshan Senior Monk thought that Penglai Island Master's words insulted the supreme Buddhism, and his tone became impolite.

"Asking for trouble? I would like to experience the absolute arts of the Great Thunderclap Temple. "

Hai Dongqing's blind eyes were exceptionally gloomy, and the Demon Saber of Speech Spirit at his waist was slightly unsheathed!

This bald donkey Ruoshan had been disrespectful to the Celestial Thearch from the very beginning, and now he even wanted to chase them out of the Celestial Thearch's residence. As the Celestial Generals of the Celestial Court, they naturally had to protect the Celestial Thearch's dignity!

Hai Dongqing unsheathed his demon saber and an extremely sharp saber intent enveloped the entire hall, causing many monks to shiver uncontrollably!

"Quasi-emperor! Furthermore, he has already reached perfection in the Dao of the Saber! "

An eminent monk of the Zen saber lineage could not help but ask, his eyes filled with fear.

At this moment, they suddenly remembered that the person in front of them was the Celestial Thearch who had unified the Immortal Realm and God Realm. Even though they were outnumbered, they could not be bullied at will!

Monk Ruo Shan was stunned by Hai Dongqing's move. He then looked at Gu Chen and saw that Gu Chen was expressionless. For some reason, he felt a little nervous.

Although the Western Heaven Star Region was very far away from the outside world, they had occasionally heard legends about this overlord.

Although this was the Great Thunderclap Monastery, it was ultimately not a good thing to offend him.

"Amitabha, this junior brother of mine is really rude. Please forgive him, Benefactor Gu and the two of you. Junior Brother Ruo Shan, why aren't you apologizing? "

Holy Monk Ruo Chen sighed and said to Monk Ruo Shan with a dignified look in his murky eyes.

"I've offended the three of you."

Monk Ruo Shan said unnaturally, apologizing unwillingly.

"There's no need to apologize. Let's get down to business."

Gu Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold. He merely glanced at Monk Ruo Shan and his expression changed drastically. As if he had been struck by lightning, he subconsciously took a few steps back and staggered, almost falling to the ground!

"What do you want to do?"

He asked in shock and bewilderment. Just a glance was enough to cause his soul to tremble uncontrollably!

That kind of gaze could only be cultivated by experts who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

When the other eminent monks saw that the head of the Arhat Hall was actually stunned by a glance from the Celestial Thearch, they were all shocked.

A man's reputation was like a tree's shadow. The overlord's reputation was indeed not undeserved!

Gu Chen was disinclined to pay attention to Ruo Shan. That glance was only a slight punishment. He also had no intention of making a move against the Great Leiyin Temple. Right now, he had a lot of things to do.

He looked at Holy Monk Ruo Chen. Compared to before, his tone had also become a bit more arrogant.

"Abbot, I understand your meaning. However, I never said that I came today to form an alliance."

As soon as he said this, the monks in the main hall looked at each other.

If it wasn't to form an alliance, why would the dignified Celestial Thearch come to the Great Leiyin Temple at this critical juncture?

Everyone reckoned that this was the excuse that the newly appointed Celestial Thearch came up with in order to save face.

"Then I wonder why benefactor Gu has come? If benefactor has any requests, please don't hesitate to mention them. My Great Leiyin Temple will do our best to satisfy them. "

Abbot Ruo Chen said seriously.

After all, he was the leader of the Western Sky. Abbot Ruo Chen knew that the monks' previous actions had already provoked the newly appointed Celestial Thearch's displeasure.

"I don't actually want the Great Leiyin Temple to do anything. I just have a few questions that I want to ask."

Gu Chen opened his mouth and went straight to the point. "Recently there have been rumors that the members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom have gathered at Mount Meru and are planning some actions. I wonder if Abbot knows about this matter?"

Numerous monks whispered to each other when they heard what was said. Abbot Ruo Chen's gaze turned cold and he said seriously. "Benefactor Gu's words are true?"

Gu Chen looked at the reactions of numerous monks and was immediately certain that the Great Leiyin Temple still didn't know about this matter.

"It seems that you're used to living in a peaceful and prosperous era. You can't even see the hidden danger."

Penglai Island's master sneered and ridiculed.

These words made numerous monks even more uneasy. Abbot Ruo Chen said seriously. "I wonder what kind of information benefactor Gu has in his hands?"

Gu Chen then told them the information he had obtained, including the cooperation between him and the Pure Spirit Kingdom.

Originally, this matter was taboo. However, Gu Chen didn't have a good impression of the Great Leiyin Temple, so there was no need to hide it.

He now only wanted to understand the truth of the matter as soon as possible, resolve the hidden danger of the Western Sky, and then leave.

After numerous monks heard it, they were exceptionally shocked and opened their mouths one after another.

"The Jingling Taoist is still alive? Is this possible? "

"That evildoer stole our Buddha Emperor Dipang back then. Wasn't it enough? What else does he want to do this time?"

Other than shock, there was also worry. Clearly, the incident of the Man with a Bamboo Hat stealing the Buddha Emperor Dipang had left a lot of shadows in the minds of the Great Leiyin Temple's high monks.

Gu Chen looked at the group of monks and sighed in his heart. The Western Heaven Starfield had been peaceful for too long, causing the capital of the Buddhist sects to lower their guard.

The Great Leiyin Temple firmly believed that the Xing County wouldn't take action against the Western Heaven Starfield, and the reason was only because of the suicide of the Western Heaven Buddha Emperor.

One had to know that times had changed. He didn't think that when the Xing County's army attacked and decided to flatten the Ninth World, they would be soft-hearted and let the Western Heaven Starfield go.
