Chapter 562: Chapter 562
The scene of the monks being chased by a powerful demonic cultivator had been witnessed by those at the safe zone. They were surprised that there is someone this powerful among the Demonic Cultivators. Moreover, he seems to be determined to kill the representatives of the Golden Lotus Temple which is considered the only organization that is connected to Buddha.
Monk Hu Tengyu ignored the attacks of the Demonic Cultivators chasing after them and grabbed his two disciples and hurried to the safe zone. The faster they got inside, the lesser this demonic being would make his move. At least that’s what Monk Hu Tengyu feels. He is gambling that the Hall Guardian would make a move as long as someone broke the rules of the hall.
"You can’t escape! Your life is mine!" The demonic cultivator shouted as he released a ranged attack targeting the three monks regardless of their location.
It’s forbidden to fight or kill in the safe zone of the Hall of Nature. The moment the three monks entered the Safe zone, Monk Hu Tengyu summoned his Golden Bell Artifact to protect the three of them. It seems the persistent Demonic Cultivator had no intention of letting them go and still attacked even after the three had entered the safe zone.
This is the sound of the poisonous dagger from the demonic cultivator being blocked. However, this isn’t the sound of the Golden Bell blocking an attack from a Late Huashen Realm Demonic Cultivator. The one that blocked it is a wall of stone which is also one of the arms of the Stone Golem, Hall Guardian, Growler.
{Fighting and Killing in the safe zone is forbidden! First offense, all the treasure you had found in this hall will be confiscated!}
Under the command of Growler’s words, a green light from the forest had restrained the demonic cultivator and his space storage’s restriction to himself was removed. All treasures he got in the Hall of Nature flew towards the Stone Golem Hall Guardian and it was once again dispersed to the forest where it returned where it was first taken. The immortal herbs rooted on the land once again, while those materials mined in some places had been reburied. Everything the demonic cultivator had collected and stolen had returned to nature.
The demonic cultivator was about to fight for his right when suddenly he heard the voice of his god in his mind giving him a warning.
{Do not seek a fight with the Hall Guardian. If you get kicked out of this hall, you will be lost forever in the darkness, unable to come out of this hidden dungeon.} The God of Death said. {My inheritance trial’s real duration is until you’ve reached the main altar. Cease actions for now.}
Upon hearing the command of his god in his mind, the demonic cultivator no longer resisted and entered the safe zone after giving the three monks a death glare.
"This is not over yet! Snorts~
The Buddha’s Heir was only at Mid Huashen Realm and can be barely considered an opponent against a Late stage Huashen cultivator. He immediately puked blood the moment the Golden Bell Artifact had been deactivated.
"Master! Are you alright?" Monk Hu Ren said.
Monk Hu Tengyu ate a pill and said, "I need to meditate. Heal your Shidi (Junior Brother) and exchange the treasures you had gathered for the things you wanted. We will enter the Healing Spring once you are done with the exchange."
"Is the Master not going to be exchanged for anything else?" Monk Hu Ren asked.
The Buddha’s Heir answered, "No need. I got what I truly need. That one thing is all I need. Don’t worry about me. I won’t be attacked in the safe zone. Go ahead and do as you must." Then he entered meditation trying to heal his wounds and stabilized his situation.
Monk Hu Ren woke up his Shidi and helped heal his wound and finally dragged him to the exchange stall. Their accumulated points were barely enough to get what they truly wanted and both get a defensive artifact and cultivation techniques they’ve been eyeing for. Then returned to their master’s side and finally headed to the healing spring for full recovery. The rıghtful source is NoveIꜰire.net
It also didn’t take long for the couple, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue, to return with Baimei to the safe zone. When they came to the exchange stall, Growler recognized Baimei.
The stone golem hall guardian spoke, {Baimei, this time you have chosen a good master! You should be able to come out this time!}
{Lord Growler, thank you for all the care this time.}
Baimei lowered her head for the first time and thanked this kind guardian who would allow her to return to this hall every time the masters she had signed a contract with had died. This had happened multiple times and her desire to come out of the dungeon diminished the more she failed. If not for the kindness of the couple, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue, Baimei would have never signed a contract with someone.
Tan Bingyu approached the old couple having tea near the Hall guardian. Xia Lianyu and Su Hialun had obviously just finished taking a nice dip in the hot spring. Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang had come out as well and they had been making spirit food all this time. The food on the table of this old couple was from those two.
"Tan Bingyu (Xue Renxue) greets Grandpa Xia and Grandma Su!"
"Oh my~ you guys are finally back. If you are done exchanging your points go take a dip. It has a full recovery effect. Also Xue’er is looking for you. She said to find her when you got back," Grandma Su said.
Tan Bingyu said, "I will find the mistress after bathing. Thank you for telling me, Grandma Su."
"Hm? You two are about to break through, no wonder Xue’er is looking for you. Heal yourself properly and make proper preparation for break through. Get going." Grandpa Xia said. "Also, have you seen your grandfather and father?"
"They are alright, Grandpa Xia. Grandpa and father are still meditating before we leave so they might return late," said Xue Renxue.
Grandpa Xia said, "I don’t know about Shenyu, but Lao Tan had always been the type to keep things in order. There shouldn’t be any problem with those two."
"Actually, my father-in-law had been struck by lightning again," said Xue Renxue as he happily shared the news about his father-in-law’s miseries.
"Though he doesn’t deserve to get hit by lightning, it should at least ease his laziness a bit, that brat." Xia Lianyu said.
Su Hialun finally noticed the Snow Leopard Spirit beast behind the couple and smiled at her.
"What a cute child? What is your name, little one?" Grandma Su asked.
Meanwhile Baimei was frozen stiff as she could barely make any movement before the presence of these two elders.
{Seniors, my name is Baimei.}
"Baimei, what a pretty name. Welcome to the group!" Su Hialun said. She knew that this child had signed a contract with the couple making her a new companion for their group.
Baimei felt a bit overwhelmed by the kindness of these two seniors and her mind was actually in chaos as she can feel more than others thanks to her sensitivity when it comes to one’s nature.
Her thoughts are: {A human with pure dragon god’s bloodline and a descendant of the world tree. Insane, someone like these appeared in this world!?}
In the end, Baimei joined the couple in the hot spring and also went with them to find the Moon Goddess she had never met before. When the three of them arrived at the corner occupied by the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor, they were welcomed with a group composed of mutated beasts, spirit beasts and flower spirits. Moreover, most of these guys are children and happily welcomed them.
"It’s Sister Bingyu! Xue-gege!"
"Mommy is looking for you guys. You should find them at the back cooking," Yue Huaxue said while eating with her siblings.
Tan Bingyu and the other two didn’t directly join the group and started eating. They come to find the Moon Goddess who is busy cooking and with the Immortal Sun Emperor helping with preparations. By the time they arrived, the two had just finished cooking a lot of spirit food for everyone.
"Mistress, we’re back!" Tan Bingyu said.
Yue Xuexia said, "Wait a minute. This is the last pot."
"Has your father returned yet?" Shen Jueyang asked Tan Bingyu.
Tan Bingyu said, "Not yet, Lord Shen. He might return late with Grandfather."
"That useless brat. I am going to beat him up if he truly can’t learn at least one of those talismans," said Shen Jueyang.
Yue Xuexia said, "Do you think it’s easy to learn talismans from that book you gave? That’s written in Ancient Language, Uncle Shenyu isn’t even at Huashen Realm yet."
"He needs to learn faster or by the time we arrive at the Hall of the Sun, he would get beaten even more than I do. The past me is more heartless than the current me," the Immortal Sun Emperor.
The Moon Goddess said, "It should be fine as long as he doesn’t die right?"
