Tap, tap, tap.
The white-browed old monk stepped forward in the void, his footsteps resonating crisply and clearly. As he drew closer, starlight began to dance and twirl around him.
The starlight wasn't glaring, nor was it as oppressive as the Mysterious Light, which would suppress anyone with its overpowering aura. Yet, no one dared to treat it lightly in the slightest.
A Kai Yang Realm expert, who absorbed the power of the sixth star of the Big Dipper, Kai Yang, was endowed with imnse power, deadly and fierce upon contact!
In the presence of such a formidable being, even a Mysterious Light Realm expert must be respectful and show not a hint of insolence!
"Is that... Pu Xian Buddha? The monk from three hundred years ago!?"
"It's said that three hundred years ago, Pu Xian entered the peak of the Mysterious Light Realm. To break through the barriers, he resigned from his abbot position and disappeared ever since. Who would've thought he'd reappear in such a manner today!"
"With Pu Xian here, the Buddhist Sect is finally saved!"
All eyes turned from Xu Fan to the white-browed elder. The myriad gazes, so joyous, so anxious, were incredibly complex.
Most monks were naturally overjoyed. With Xu Fan's overpowering revolt, the three Zen Masters t their doom due to their own actions, yet the Buddhist Sect faced a life-and-death crisis. Now, Pu Xian Buddha's appearance felt like a shot of adrenaline to thousands of monks!
Yunzhi was particularly ecstatic.
Life is like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, thrilling beyond compare.
Initially, Yunzhi was confident of victory, sitting comfortably, strategizing masterfully from afar, exuding elegance. Yet, with Xu Fan's series of near-catastrophic explosions that almost toppled the Buddhist Sect and nearly decapitated Yuanyuan, Yunzhi had to step up.
Next, he dueled with Mingxuan and Xu Fan, alternately gaining the upper hand and then losing it, until he was cornered! Just as he was about to be struck down by Xu Fan, a Vajra Realm master suddenly appeared, and it was none other than a Kai Yang Realm expert!
The crisis was effortlessly resolved.
Yunzhi's experiences today were akin to a riveting novel, full of twists and turns, yet he wished never to experience such again...
Mingxuan's face, however, was overcast.
The abbot was abruptly killed, sending the Buddhist Sect into chaos. The Taoists had intended to seize this opportunity to turn the Buddhist Sect into their puppet. However, everything unfolded contrary to Mingxuan's expectations. Xu Fan's dominant counterattack thoroughly disrupted the Taoist plans, and now the ergence of a Buddha left Mingxuan completely hopeless.
No matter how exceptional Xu Fan was, he was insignificant before the entire Taoist faction. However, the ergence of a Buddha was enough to tilt the balance of the entire situation.
Mingxuan realized he had missed a once-in-a-lifeti chance for the Taoists to make the Buddhist Sect their puppet...
Mingxuan's face was sullen, while Yuan Kong was utterly embarrassed!
For decades, even centuries, Yuan Kong had appeared with a compassionate face, and his benevolent image had long taken root in people's hearts! Yet today, after Xu Fan's harsh berating, accusing him of being shaless, Yuan Kong's painstakingly built persona shattered completely!
What further frustrated Yuan Kong was that just as he decided to flee and put it into action, a Buddha who hadn't appeared for centuries suddenly erged...
If Yunzhi felt he was incredibly lucky today, Yuan Kong felt like even drinking a glass of cold water could choke him!
While he dared to consider fleeing in front of Xu Fan, in the presence of a Buddha, no thought of escape dared to arise within him.
As for Yuanyuan, who had just regained consciousness, he was utterly confused, clueless about what had transpired.
Tap, tap, tap... tap.
The discussions and changes in expressions occurred swiftly, yet it all happened in an instant. As the footsteps ceased, all clamors abruptly halted, transforming into a neat and respectful chorus.
"Welcoming the Buddha!"
The sound was grand, like a flood, resonating throughout the Buddhist Sect, with thousands of monks bowing in unison, creating an intensely impactful scene!
However, Pu Xian rely nodded lightly in response to all this.
For soone of Pu Xian's level, the surface matters held no significance. Why would a Buddha remain hidden for decades, even centuries, not showing up even in the face of life-threatening dangers to the Buddhist Sect?
For one does not care about the survival of ants at their feet!
As soone long transcended humanity, to Pu Xian, all were like ants! Although Buddhist scriptures often ntion not to harm even the tiniest ant, who truly cared about the fate of ants?
At this mont, Pu Xian's gaze was firmly fixed on Xu Fan.
In fact, ever since Pu Xian appeared, his gaze had remained on Xu Fan, not sparing anyone else a glance!
"Young man, what is your na? Your Dharma na? Why are you not wearing the Buddhist attire, and why are you battling the Zen Masters here within the Buddhist Sect?"
In a breath, Pu Xian asked Xu Fan four consecutive questions.
As a Buddha and a Kai Yang Realm expert, ordinary matters didn't interest Pu Xian. Even with the Buddhist Sect in danger, Pu Xian couldn't be bothered. The reason he appeared today was because he was startled awake by the Buddha's light emanating from the Seven Treasures Relic within Xu Fan.
This sparked Pu Xian's interest in Xu Fan.
When Pu Xian's Divine Sense swept over, discovering the turmoil within the Buddhist Sect, witnessing Xu Fan of the Vajra Realm Peak effortlessly shattering the Mysterious Light Shield, scaring Yuan Kong to flee, and about to take Yunzhi's life, Pu Xian couldn't help but intervene.
Finding Xu Fan within the Buddhist Sect while emitting pure Buddha's light, Pu Xian naturally assud Xu Fan was one of them, thus asking these four questions in a slightly condescending manner.
Unexpectedly, Xu Fan rely glanced at Pu Xian with a faint look, devoid of any respect, and responded coldly.
"The young man's surna is Xu, and he is not from the Buddhist Sect. The battle within was to slay three Zen Masters of the Buddhist Sect and a Supre Elder from the Taoists!"
With one sentence, Xu Fan answered all of Pu Xian's questions, leaving everyone dumbfounded and speechless.
Facing a Buddha, a Kai Yang Realm expert, Xu Fan dared to utter such words!
Yet, to everyone's surprise, Pu Xian wasn't angered. Instead, his face showed even more interest. The feelings of such a powerful figure were truly inscrutable to ordinary people.
In a few exchanges, Pu Xian effortlessly grasped the situation and slightly lowered his stance. "Young benefactor Xu, could I ask you to let this matter rest today?"
Although Pu Xian wasn't concerned about the life or death of the Buddhist disciples, as a forr Buddha himself, he couldn't agree to Xu Fan taking the lives of the three Zen Masters.
However, as a Buddha, Pu Xian's approach was certainly different from the likes of Yunzhi. For soone of Pu Xian's status to lower his stance in this way, it was a huge sign of respect to Xu Fan.
Under the gaze of countless monks, with a faint smile at the corner of his lips, Pu Xian awaited Xu Fan's decision.
Yet, upon hearing Pu Xian's words, Xu Fan slightly frowned and uttered sothing that caused an uproar.
"If I refuse to give you face, what then?"
