Lu Chen left the meditation room but did not see Lan Pengfei.
So he asked: "Master, where is Lan Pengfei?"
"Listen to the scriptures in the Zen room next door."
Master Kuchan said with a smile, and the latter also went to the Zen room next door after hearing this.
More than a dozen monks at the master level were banging wooden fish and chanting sutras. They were reciting the "Purana Sutra".
This sutra is recited every day in Zhaode Temple in order to save the souls of the dead in the sea of clouds and enter reincarnation.
Although Lan Pengfei had never practiced Buddhism, he was already very fascinated by it. Lu Chen also sat down and listened to a section. By the time the scriptures ended, the sky was completely dark.
The two then stood up and left.
After coming down the mountain, the two young monks guarding the mountain took a step back, and then closed the door in the air. With a loud bang, Zhaode Temple...disappeared!
"Is it a formation?"
Lan Pengfei was a little surprised. He touched the place where the young monk was standing just now, but there was nothing. He looked up the mountain and saw that except for the Zhaode Temple, everything was as usual.
Lu Chen opened his sky-piercing eyes and looked towards the mountain.
I saw golden 'swastikas' floating in the sky above Zhaode Temple, and wisps of dark netherworld energy seeping out from the ground and overflowing to the surroundings.
When the netherworld energy hit the swastika, it made a sizzling sound and evaporated instantly.
Lu Chen closed his Sky Eye and said, "To prevent the power of the netherworld from spreading, we opened the mountain protection formation. Let's go. Let's come back here in a month."
"Is Zhaotoku Temple's mountain-protecting formation so powerful?"
Lan Pengfei sighed, and then took Lu Chen back to Xuanyin Sect with his sword.
…
Early morning.
The two descended into Xuanyin Temple.
Lu Chen asked Lan Pengfei to go down and rest first, and then took out the jade slip to check.
"The location of purgatory is actually in the beautiful country?"
Lu Chen's pupils shrank slightly, feeling a little difficult. After all, there are many great masters abroad, and... they are all weird.
Just like the vampire, and the monster that can turn into a wolf...
He guessed that Zhang Yulong set up the branch in Beautiful Country because he was afraid that the three great Zen masters would sabotage his plan in the future.
"Before I go, I have to go to the capital and kill Shangguan Lingyun!"
After formulating the next plan, Lu Chen took out the jade slip that recorded the "Misty Formation". However, after trying it a few times, he found that with his current strength, he could not understand the true meaning of the formation and could only use Xuanyin. Teach this castrated version.
"The third level of the "Heart Sutra of the Ghost Gate" is at the Dragon Emperor's place...it's a bit difficult to deal with."
He is not arrogant enough to defeat the Dragon King, but judging from the Dragon King's series of actions, the Dragon King does not want to kill him like Shangguan Lingyun. More often, he has to complete the orders issued by the Five Old Stars.
If there is a chance, maybe we can talk.
After repairing overnight, Lu Chen and Lan Peng flew into Beijing.
…
Beijing.
In a villa in the third ring road.
More than a dozen people were sitting in the living room. Some of them were wearing monk's robes, some were wearing monk's clothes, and some were leaning against the window holding a long sword, their eyes sharp and domineering.
There was a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.
Extraordinary magnanimity.
Astonishingly, it was—the second master of the Shangguan family, the former Lingyun God General.
Shangguan Lingyun!
Shangguan Lingyun looked solemn and spoke slowly: "The latest news is that Liu Sanbian killed two Sakura Kingdom Jonin instantly in the Demon City. His cultivation level... is comparable to that of a mid-stage Grand Master."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
"How old is he? Is he thirty years old?"
"Such a young mid-term grand master is rare even among the gods."
"I can only say that he is indeed the apprentice of the old ghost."
"Hmph, no matter whose apprentice he is, as long as he dares to come to the capital, I will make him pay a heavy price for his arrogance!" The warrior holding the sword said with disdain.
His name is Liu Qingfeng.
A member of the Liu family of the God Clan.
He is also the only middle-term Grandmaster among their group!
Among the group of people who originally chased Mrs. Zhou, more than a dozen of them had already broken through to the middle stage of Grand Master. There was even one who was now an invincible powerhouse in the late stage of Grand Master.
However, after receiving Shangguan Lingyun's call, they all expressed their disdain.
In their opinion, there was no need to join a group to keep warm when dealing with a warlock like Liu Sanbian. If he really dared to come to them, he would be killed with a slap.
Only Liu Qingfeng came.
He came here just to catch Lu Chen and force him to learn the secrets of the ghost sect.
His arrival also made Shangguan Lingyun feel more confident. He chuckled and said, "That's natural. Don't look at the big commotion Liu Sanbian has made recently, but in front of Qingfeng, he is just trash."
"Yeah!"
"With the breeze here, killing him is like picking something out of a bag."
"I heard that he possesses the "Misty Array", "Netherworld Soul-Severing Sword", "Hundred Ghosts at Night" and other top-notch magic spells. If we can get them, we will definitely be able to reach a higher level."
The rest of the people also spoke excitedly.
But at this time, a middle-aged man wearing a mask said: "I am afraid of that boy now and dare not come to the capital."
Lu Chen was able to reach this point because he was definitely not the kind of fool who loses all his IQ when his head gets hot. Shangguan Lingyun summoned so many masters and set up a dragnet to wait for him.
Is he really going to die?
But at this moment.
Suddenly a water dragon shot from the window.
Liu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and struck out with his long sword instantly. The water dragon was split into two pieces on the spot, and then exploded with a bang.
A rough voice came from inside.
"Shangguan Lingyun, my young master will be waiting for you at Shenlong Island at noon tomorrow."
Whoosh whoosh!
One after another figures jumped out.
But there was no one outside.
Liu Qingfeng said: "Stop chasing him, he's not here at all."
"This person just now was Lan Pengfei, right?"
"Hmph, I remember that his master was also involved in what happened back then, but now he has become Liu Sanbian's lackey. It's really ridiculous."
"It's just a piece of trash that the seller is seeking glory for."
"But why did Liu Sanbian decide to set the battlefield on Shenlong Island?"
"Could it be that he was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain? His real target is not us?" Everyone frowned and thought, and they all couldn't understand what Lu Chen was doing.
Shangguan Lingyun chuckled lightly and said, "I guess he doesn't dare to come to the capital."
Liu Qingfeng nodded and said: "If he dares to come, Wulaoxing will definitely send people to arrest him. Shenlong Island...heh, isn't that the territory of Kunlun Mountain? It's ridiculous that Kunlun Mountain has already been destroyed."
Shangguan Lingyun said again: "Since he wants to die on Shenlong Island, let's go away."
On their side, there is one great master in the middle stage, ten great masters in the early stage, and nine great masters in the Great Perfection. Such a lineup is enough to defeat a sect.
Thinking of the scene of Lu Chen forcibly killing Huaixin on the top of Mount Huashan, Shangguan Lingyun's lips curled into a sneer.
"Get this news out."
"I want everyone in the world to see how we killed Liu Sanbian!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
…
At the same time, the news that Lu Chen declared war on Shangguan Lingyun spread throughout the capital in an instant.
All forces from all sides exclaimed in surprise.
