"Master Yuanyuan, do you acknowledge your guilt?"
Yunzhi's voice resounded with authority, making everyone tense up. It was at this mont that everyone suddenly realized the truth.
It turned out that Yunzhi was not here to apologize to Xu Fan. Neither the timing of the appearance of Yunzhi and Yuan Kong, the two Zen Masters, nor their attitudes, were ant to express apologies. Instead, they conveyed a clear signal: to strip Yuanyuan of his qualification to vie for the position of Abbot!
In other words, everything that happened to Xu Fan today was rely an introduction, and the ultimate goal of the three Zen Masters was that supre position in the Buddhist Sect! The Abbot!
Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward Yuanyuan. The once high and mighty Master Yuanyuan, who exuded an air of authority upon his entrance, now appeared covered in dust, with tattered robes, looking utterly disheveled!
Initially, among the three Zen Masters of the Buddhist Sect, there was a tripartite standoff. Among them, Master Yuanyuan wielded the most influence and had the greatest hope of claiming the position of Abbot! However, Yuanyuan's plans were disrupted by the sudden events of today.
Indeed, Xu Fan's actions today shattered everyone's plans!
Yet, Yuanyuan lacked Yunzhi's sophistication and keen insight to make instant favorable decisions for himself.
Now, Yuanyuan found himself in an extrely passive position!
"Outrageous!"
"Senior Nephew Yunzhi, in terms of seniority, you're a generation behind ! In terms of power, you've barely stepped into the Mysterious Light Realm. In terms of prestige, you fall far short of within the Buddhist Sect! In such a public setting, what right do you have to accuse ?"
At this mont, Yuanyuan's face grew dark as he rebuked Yunzhi angrily.
Interestingly, Yunzhi addressed Yuanyuan as Senior Brother, while Yuanyuan referred to Yunzhi as a junior, implying that Yunzhi was but a youngster. As for the mistakes committed today, Yuanyuan chose to avoid the topic altogether, as if they never happened.
It must be said that every grandmaster is no simple character! Yunzhi could be shaless, and so could Yuanyuan!
"Heh. You're wrong once more, Senior Brother."
Facing Yuanyuan's harsh rebuke without any respect, Yunzhi's eyes flickered with a hint of annoyance, yet he feigned a deanor of calmness, "Practitioners of cultivation naturally rank by power; since we're both in the Mysterious Light Realm, it's only right for to address you as Senior Brother."
"As for power, the Nine Realms of the Mysterious Light have no recorded divisions of power. To enter the Mysterious Light is to be invincible. Would Senior Brother like to discuss whether the Mysterious Light Realm has levels of strength?"
Hearing Yunzhi's words, Yuanyuan's face imdiately turned unsightly.
Yunzhi's point was straightforward—everyone here was a practitioner of the Mysterious Light Realm. Though Yuanyuan had entered the realm a few years earlier, Yunzhi's side boasted two Mysterious Light Realm practitioners! If Yuanyuan refused to relinquish his bid for Abbot, then there would be a fight!
These words were simple and brutal, hitting Yuanyuan's weak spot directly!
Although practitioners of the Mysterious Light Realm were said to be undefeatable, among those of the sa realm, there had to be a winner and a loser! And with Yunzhi's side having two people, the balance of victory tilted heavily toward Yunzhi and Yuan Kong!
It's important to note that Yuanyuan had just been severely wounded by Xu Fan! Though his injuries weren't severe, they'd been forcibly suppressed by Yuanyuan, yet he remained injured!
Once they fought, in a battle of the Mysterious Light Realm level, any minor weakness would be magnified infinitely! Yuanyuan wouldn't just lose the chance to compete for Abbot, he might even lose his position as Zen Master!
"Yunzhi! Don't push your luck too far!"
Yuanyuan's face flushed with anger as he glared at Yunzhi, his eyes filled with a fury appearing to almost devour Yunzhi. The issue that everyone understood was sothing that Yuanyuan, as a Zen Master, naturally anticipated by now.
This entire event had clearly been orchestrated by Yunzhi! Although, due to Xu Fan's behavior, the proceedings deviated sowhat, the overall direction remained unchanged.
Today, at least one Zen Master would be stripped of their qualification! Furthermore, the long-unsettled candidate for the position of Abbot in the Buddhist Sect would officially be determined today! The veil would be lifted!
The pain of being plotted against, and the anxiety of impending loss of the Abbot position, almost set Yuanyuan ablaze with anger!
While Yuanyuan was raging with anger, Yunzhi's feelings were entirely different; everything was under control, the master strategist achieving victory from afar. This sense of utmost accomplishnt almost made Yunzhi, known for his composure, burst into laughter!
This ti, Yunzhi suppressed his feeling of triumph, coolly conversing with Yuanyuan, "Senior Brother Yuanyuan! Admit your wrongs openly to everyone, and you'll still be a Zen Master within the Buddhist Sect! But if you stubbornly refuse, don't bla for not showing rcy!"
Exhale!
Suddenly, just when Yuanyuan seed on the brink of losing control in rage again, he took a deep breath, turning to look at Yuan Kong on the side.
"Junior Brother Yuan Kong, are you sure you want to stand against ?"
At this pivotal mont where Yuanyuan and Yunzhi were at odds, Zen Master Yuan Kong's stance beca the decisive factor!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on Yuan Kong.
Just now, the argunt between Yunzhi and Yuanyuan was akin to gods clashing, making tens of thousands of monks from the Buddhist Sect not even dare to exhale loudly, much less involve themselves!
At this mont, due to the heated dispute between Yunzhi and Yuanyuan, the entire situation had reached its climax! The eyes of ten thousand monks were pinned on Yuan Kong, awaiting his response, which could potentially impact the fate of the entire Buddhist Sect.
"Senior Brother... you're in the wrong! Stop this!"
After a long deliberation, for the first ti since entering, Yuan Kong, who hadn't spoken a single word, opened his mouth, and the first sentence set the entire Buddhist Sect ablaze!
Yuan Kong's stance showed without a doubt that he stood with Yunzhi against Yuanyuan!
The three Zen Masters, three factions, now finally stood in opposition like the Chu and Han realms, the air frozen, and a great battle seed imminent!
"Hahaha! Senior Brother Yuanyuan! Even now, you refuse to acknowledge your guilt!?"
Yunzhi laughed heartily, a terrifying aura rising as he and Yuan Kong enclosed Yuanyuan front and back! Should Yuanyuan shake his head, Yunzhi would join forces with Yuan Kong to seize Yuanyuan!
The position of Abbot was within reach!
Yet, in this extrely unfavorable situation, Yuanyuan, whose face had remained somber, suddenly began to laugh.
This scene left everyone a bit stunned.
Just when everyone thought Master Yuanyuan had lost his mind, a sense of madness overtook him, an imnsely intimidating aura suddenly burst forth from afar, akin to a sharp sword, piercingly painful to the skin.
At the sa ti, an imnsely arrogant voice resounded, causing everyone's face to turn pale.
"Mingxuan of the Taoist Sect, greets you!"
