Chapter 409: Chapter 281: Hatred Hard to Eliminate

“Ah Qing, why didn’t you let Mr. Zhi Rui leave with us just now?

If those monks give him trouble, what should be done?”

It was while Lin Zhirui was compromising and explaining their origins to Suspended Mountain.

On the other side, Elder Doctor was also somewhat puzzled and asked Lu Qing.

“Master, this time we have offended Suspended Mountain, it’s not suitable for Mr. Zhi Rui to stay too close to us.

It’s better for him to stay there than to leave with us.

Just now, he secretly sent me a message, telling us to go first and not worry about him, as he has his own way to escape.

But Master, you need not worry either, I have also sent a message to Mr. Zhi Rui.

If those bald monks from Suspended Mountain press him about our origins, he need not hide anything and can tell them the truth.

In doing so, those bald monks probably won’t make things difficult for him.”

This time, the grievances between Lu Qing and Suspended Mountain had indeed deepened.

Whether it was their attempt to forcibly convert Master or Lu Qing killing a disciple of Suspended Mountain.

The enmity between them was already destined to be irreconcilable.

Thus, in front of so many people, it was better for Lin Zhirui not to stay too close to them.

Upon hearing this, Elder Doctor also felt it made sense and spoke no further.

“By the way, Ah Qing, how did you know I was in trouble on the Holy Mountain?” Elder Doctor asked.

“It was Mr. Zhi Rui’s Master, the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master, who told me.

When you, Master, were trapped by those bald monks from Suspended Mountain with their array, Mr. Zhi Rui used a Communication Jade Token to inform the Tower Master, and that’s how I came to know of it.”

“I see, it seems we owe Mr. Zhi Rui a great favor this time.”

“Master, how did you come into conflict with those bald monks from Suspended Mountain?”

“This matter also felt strange to me, those monks, upon seeing me, expressed a desire to discuss Tao with me.

I had just emerged from the Holy Pool, feeling quite enlightened, saw their friendly attitude and profound cultivation, and was quite moved just by a few words they spoke.

Thinking that they came from one of the Four Great Secret Places and were a reputed Sect with profound heritage, discussing Tao with them seemed promising.

I didn’t think much of it and agreed.

Who would have thought that in the midst of our discussion, they suddenly employed the Exotic Treasure, binding my Heart and Spirit.

If it weren’t for you, Ah Qing, arriving in time, I might not have lasted much longer.”

Recalling the feeling of being bound by that golden bowl, continuously assaulted by the Buddhist chants, Elder Doctor still felt a lingering fear.

He had a premonition that, had it not been for Lu Qing breaking that formation in time,

He might truly have been changed in mind, turned into someone else.

“The formation those bald monks from Suspended Mountain used is called the Vajra Subduing Demon Array.

In the Cultivation Era of tens of thousands of years ago, it was used by the Buddhist Sects to convert some Evil Demon outsiders, and it was not to be used lightly.

I didn’t expect them to dare use it on you, Master.

It seems that this so-called Buddhist Holy Land, Suspended Mountain,

After tens of thousands of years of changes in their heritage, has also changed its flavor, no longer the Righteous Sect it once was.”

Among the traditions of Li Huo Sect that Lu Qing had obtained, there were some records about the Buddhist Sect.

Vajra Subduing Demon Array, capable of altering one’s mind.

Hence, in the Cultivation Era tens of thousands of years ago, the Buddhist Sects that possessed this array’s tradition usually laid down strict prohibitions.

Unless it was for those deeply evil-minded individuals from the Demon Path, this array was not to be deployed lightly.

Now that Suspended Mountain dares to publicly perform such an array, wanting to convert Master,

Either they are sure that external traditions of the Immortal Dao are cut off, with no one able to recognize this array,

Or Suspended Mountain has abolished such prohibitions and has other plans.

However, regardless of Suspended Mountain’s intentions, this time, their enmity had indeed been firmly established.

Lu Qing remembered the information he had obtained from those monks earlier.

Knowing those monks’ pettiness, this matter would certainly not end well.

Next, they would need to remain cautious.

Lu Qing touched the Qiankun Qi Bag at his waist.

Through continuous nurturing with spiritual energy, the Qiankun Qi Bag had regained much of its potency.

Just now, it was by manipulating the Heart and Spirit within this ancient spiritual artifact that he was able to intimidate everyone.

Unfortunately, there were too many people present at the time, not only numerous masters from the major sects of Central State but also people from the other three secret lands.

In secret, there might even have been those three mysterious and unfathomable Saint Masters who had never shown their faces.

Otherwise, Lu Qing really wanted to play this trump card to see whether he could annihilate all the monks from Suspended Mountain.

The mentor and disciple then walked down the mountain.

This time, the two did not take the path of the Heavenly Ladder but chose another route to quietly descend the mountain.

“Elder Doctor Chen, Brother Lu Qing, you’re back?”

As soon as they returned to Tianji Building, they were greeted by the overjoyed Ma Gu and others.

Since Lu Qing had left, they had all been extremely worried.

After all, Lu Qing was challenging the Holy Mountain, and those making it difficult for Elder Doctor were said to be from the Four Great Secret Places, so how could they not be worried?

Now seeing both of them return safely, everyone finally sighed in relief.

“Indeed, I had said that I would bring my master back safely,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“This time, it was I, an old man who was negligent, making you all worry,” Elder Doctor also said somewhat apologetically.

“How can we blame you, Elder Doctor? We heard from the Tower Master that it was those monks who intentionally made things difficult for you…”

Ma Gu and the others immediately comforted Elder Doctor.

At that time, Lu Qing went before the Tianji Tower Master, who had been smilingly watching them, and respectfully performed a bow, “Thank you, Tower Master, for helping to intimidate the petty men here.”

“There’s no need to be polite, as you are guests in my Tianji Building, I naturally need to ensure your safety,” Tianji Tower Master waved his hand.

However, his shock was known only to himself.

He had just received a communication from Zhi Rui, informing him of Lu Qing’s recent actions on the Holy Mountain.

Looking at the gentle-faced Lu Qing, the Tianji Tower Master found it hard to imagine.

This young man had managed, by his own strength, to intimidate the heroes on the Holy Mountain.

Not only did he rescue his own master from the encirclement of Suspended Mountain, but he even managed to kill one of their disciples and retreat in one piece.

If the communicator had not been Zhi Rui, the Tianji Tower Master would hardly have believed that Lu Qing possessed such power.

Unfortunately, even with Tianji Tower Master’s skill in calculation, he was still unable to see through Lu Qing’s depth.

In his eyes, Lu Qing was like a mist, no matter how he calculated in his mind, he was completely unable to discern any information about him.

“Tower Master, there is something I must explain to you, this time on the Sacred Mountain, we had quite a conflict with the people from Suspended Mountain.

We probably can’t stay here anymore, so as not to cause trouble for your sect,” Lu Qing said.

“This matter, Zhi Rui has already informed me with a Communication Jade Token just now, but don’t worry.

Although Suspended Mountain is formidable, they cannot intervene in the affairs of other sects at will.

Please feel free to stay, although Tianji Building is small, it has not fallen to the extent of expelling guests over such trivial matters.”

Unexpectedly, the Tianji Tower Master did not take this matter too seriously, instead comforting Lu Qing and the others.

This surprised Lu Qing; it seemed that the Tianji Tower Master was not too concerned about Suspended Mountain.

However, upon hearing the news from Lin Zhirui, Lu Qing still hurriedly asked, “Senior, is Mr. Zhi Rui alright? Did those monks from Suspended Mountain give him a hard time?”

“Zhi Rui is fine, he should be back soon,” Tianji Tower Master said, “However, Young Master Lu, there’s something I need to tell you.

Shortly after the incident, I sensed a very evil presence outside.”
