ALL NOVEL Chapter 186
Lin Feng was all in.
Since the Jiuyan Sect didn’t appreciate him, he had no desire to return and be tormented.
Although the idea of becoming a monk was hard for him to accept at first, the Buddha Temple was indeed a decent place to seek refuge—at least the people here seemed more normal!
Of course he had no intention of being a monk for life.
He was merely planning to bide his time and leave the monastic life once his cultivation was strong enough.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his declaration, Buddha Old Ancestor did not immediately accept him but hesitated.
Buddha Old Ancestor was simply scared.
Having personally experienced Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s strength, he had a new understanding of the backlash of Lin Feng’s destiny!
Buddha Old Ancestor could sense that Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s cultivation was definitely above the upper four realms.
Such a person, who had lived for who knows how many years, was desperately trying to push the ‘Son of Destiny’ onto the Buddha Temple.This clearly showed that the backlash of Lin Feng’s destiny was too intense.
Of course, Buddha Old Ancestor still had quite a favorable impression of Lin Feng.
But when it came to his own and the sect’s well-being, he naturally hesitated.
Then, Buddha Old Ancestor remembered another issue.
When Lin Feng first came to the Buddha Temple, he caused a huge commotion, leaving no stone unturned.
After being locked in the Buddha Six Prisons, the Jiuyan Sect used the excuse of ‘rescuing Lin Feng’ to launch a full-scale sect war.
He had considered taking Lin Feng into the Buddhist Sect, and then, under the watchful eyes of all, he was defeated by Jiuyan Old Ancestor.
All of this seemed to be related to Lin Feng…
“Hiss—!”
Thinking of this, Buddha Old Ancestor took a sharp breath.
This Son of Destiny was terrifyingly fearsome. The Buddha Temple had merely been associated with Lin Feng and almost faced the brink of destruction! And he himself had lost all face!
If he had stopped Lin Feng from entering the Buddha Temple from the beginning, wouldn’t all of this trouble have been avoided?
‘We cannot take in this Son of Destiny! Absolutely not!’
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense to Buddha Old Ancestor, who was sweating profusely.
But if he didn’t accept Lin Feng, the Buddha Temple would likely not escape destruction today.
Accepting Lin Feng might lead to the sect’s destruction.
Not accepting Lin Feng would definitely lead to its destruction.
‘Maybe I can agree for now and send Lin Feng away after these madmen from the Jiuyan Sect leave!’ Buddha Old Ancestor thought to himself.
Feeling that this was a good plan, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Seeing such a reluctant gesture made Lin Feng feel very displeased inside.
He sighed internally, lamenting the coldness of this world.
Not long ago, Buddha Old Ancestor had repeatedly said that he was destined for Buddha.
But now, it was like this.
This made him feel as if he was being rejected again.
Although he was displeased, Lin Feng did not show it.
Instead, he bowed to Buddha Old Ancestor, preparing to perform the three prostrations and nine kowtows, to formally become a disciple first.
But just as he was about to bow, he felt a force bouncing him back.
“???”
Looking at Buddha Old Ancestor, Lin Feng was full of question marks.
“Uhh…”
Buddha Old Ancestor looked embarrassed and said, “No rush, no rush.”
But it was urgent! Very urgent!
Lin Feng clearly remembered that last time, because he didn’t perform the ceremony of acknowledging a master, Xiao Hongyi denied him being hewr disciple!
He didn’t want any more complications, so he was determined to bow his head first.
But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t bow down!
“Hehe.”
Seeing this scene, Jiuyan Old Ancestor stroked his beard and laughed, “Since it’s like this, then we from the Jiuyan Sect will not disturb you any longer! Farewell!”
With that, he turned and left.
With their Old Ancestor gone, the people from the Jiuyan Sect naturally had no reason to stay any longer.
“Jiuyan Sect, invincible!”
After shouting the slogan a few times, the disciples also turned around and returned to their spirit boats.
“Junior Brother, take care!”
Jiang Chen patted Lin Feng’s shoulder and said, “When I have time, your Eldest Senior Brother will come to visit you.”
Please don’t come! Lin Feng shouted in his heart.
“Don’t worry, you will always be my Junior Brother. That will never change!” Jiang Chen added.
Lin Feng gave him a sneer with a “hehe” smile.
“Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!!”
Jiang Chen suddenly made his move.
Pinned to the ground by the Buddhist force, Lin Feng said incredulously, “Are you sick? Attacking over this?”
“Sorry, I just really hate it when people ‘hehe’ me!” Jiang Chen replied seriously.
Lin Feng was speechless.
After giving him a couple of big slaps, Jiang Chen sighed and said, “Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother is leaving. You must take good care of yourself and don’t die! If you encounter a madman, stay away, understand? If you run into trouble, come find me.”
Lin Feng remained silent.
Despite being slapped and wanting to strangle Jiang Chen, for some reason, he could actually sense a kind of care in Jiang Chen’s tone as if he was genuinely worried about his life.
Shaking his head to dismiss this absurd thought, Lin Feng clenched his teeth.
He swore. One day, he would pin Jiang Chen to the ground and slap him hundreds of times!
Noticing the hatred in his eyes, Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction and left as well.
……
The Jiuyan Sect came quickly and left quickly.
In an instant, hundreds of spirit boats sped away, and Buddha Old Ancestor along with the monks of the Buddha Temple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But looking around at their surroundings, their expressions darkened again.
The Buddha Temple had stood for hundreds of years, its reputation suppressing the Central Domain.
But now, apart from the intact main temple, it was practically reduced to ruins…
The fact that Buddha Old Ancestor was defeated by Jiuyan Old Ancestor under the watchful eyes of all would surely spread, and when it did, the reputation of the Buddha Temple would plummet.
“Alas, the Jiuyan Sect has become the Jiuyan Demonic Sect! We must inform the other righteous sects of this!” After a long sigh, Buddha Old Ancestor said.
Upon hearing this, the monks’ eyes lit up!
What a clever plan. In this way, the other righteous sects would surely share the Buddha Temple’s outrage, thus preserving some face.
After all, the actions of the demonic path have always been without rules, and it was reasonable for the Buddha Temple to suffer under them.
Moreover, this was indeed true and could withstand investigation.
Didn’t they see that Jiuyan Old Ancestor had become a demon? And weren’t there more and more madmen in the Jiuyan Sect?
“We will follow the Old Ancestor’s decree!”
The monks promptly saluted in unison and then dispersed to handle the aftermath of the great battle.
Lin Feng stayed where he was, ready to acknowledge Buddha Old Ancestor as his master.
Buddha Old Ancestor preempted him, saying, “The rules of the Buddha Temple state that those without merit cannot become Buddha’s disciples. If you want to become the first Buddha’s disciple, you must complete a task!”
“A task?” Lin Feng frowned.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a formality. It’s nothing difficult,” Buddha Old Ancestor said with a slight smile.
“Do you know of the Ancient Pill Tower?”
Ancient Pill Tower?
Lin Feng was surprised. Not only did he know, but he was also very familiar with it.
Many of the seventh-grade poison pills he had consumed could only be refined by the Ancient Pill Tower in the entire Central Domain.
He once even suspected that the Ancient Pill Tower had colluded with Xiao Hongyi to poison him!
Of course, he eventually dismissed this idea, as he had no grievances with the Ancient Pill Tower, and there was no reason for them to harm him.
Moreover, it was well known that the Ancient Pill Tower had a very bad relationship with Jiang Chen.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?
“I know,” Lin Feng said, taking a deep breath and nodding.
“Before the great battle, I received news that the Ancient Pill Tower’s number one true disciple perished at the Buddha Temple, a matter of great significance, as it was the work of the Jiuyan Sect.
The Buddha Old Ancestor, with a solemn expression, said, “You need to go to the Ancient Pill Tower and inform them of this matter and that the Jiuyan Sect has fallen to become a Demonic Sect!”
“Alright!”
Lin Feng immediately agreed.
