At the very least, Li Yunjing was a True Disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, from the Seven Stars Peak, with a cultivation level at the Fourth Heaven of the Foundation Establishnt Realm. These basic details were known by the various major clans.
When Master Niu revealed this information, Monk Dingxin sneered repeatedly. His narrow eyes flashed with cold light, full of disdain for the unseen Li Yunjing.
In Monk Dingxin's opinion, he was a top expert at the peak of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, and the opponent was nothing, rely at the Fourth Heaven of the Foundation Establishnt Realm—this was a piece of cake.
"Alright! I will deal with him tonight."
Monk Dingxin coldly added.
"Heh heh! With Master Dingxin taking action, there is absolutely no chance of failure!"
Master Niu flattered from the side.
"Master Niu, do your best! These are resources I am giving to your Niu Clan. They are enough to create two Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators!"
Monk Dingxin threw a Hundred Treasures Pouch onto the table.
"Thank you, Master, for your generosity!"
Master Niu was overjoyed and quickly put away the Hundred Treasures Pouch. Their Niu Family had aligned with the Mingxin Branch, all for these resources, after all.
Because of this alliance, in a century, the Niu Family's power had greatly increased, from having only one Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivator to now having three.
Now, with the Mingxin Branch once again bestowing them with a large number of resources, enough to create two more Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators, this was indeed a stroke of great fortune!
If the Niu Family had five Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators, they could beco one of the top three powerful clans in Yingtian Prefecture, excluding the royal family!
This was the greatest wish of everyone in the Niu Family!
"Hehe! As long as your Niu Family serves our Mingxin Branch well, in the future, if your family produces an exceptional talent, I can send them to Mingxin Branch for study. In the future, it would be no problem for them to advance to the Golden Core Realm!"
Monk Dingxin casually dangled the prospect in front of Master Niu.
"Yes! Yes! Master Dingxin, rest assured, everyone in the Niu Family will be devoted to serving the Mingxin Branch!"
Fantasizing about the bright future, Master Niu's eyes glead, and his voice trembled with excitent.
...
At night, under the moonlit branches.
In the southeast coastal region, winter was not cold.
Li Yunjing was ditating in the side hall when suddenly, a chill rose in his heart.
His eyes opened abruptly, blood surging within him, as he looked coldly towards the door.
"Hehe! I did not expect your cultivation to be at the Fifth Heaven of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, rather than the Fourth."
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a man in a yellow monk robe calmly walked in.
At this mont, Monk Dingxin's final suspicion was dispelled.
With Foundation Establishnt Realm Fifth Heaven cultivation, if combined with so treasures and assistance from the Shenxiao Temple and royal family, it was possible to annihilate Zhuang Yangming and others.
"Hehe! Bald donkey? From Mingxin Temple?"
Seeing the bald monk for the first ti, Li Yunjing curiously observed him, looking him up and down. The monk robe, Buddha beads, and Zen staff indeed made him look sowhat like a prominent monk.
"Is this how mbers of the Shenxiao Dao Sect greet others, by calling them nas?"
Unfazed, Dingxin lightly responded.
"So, my na then? I suppose you already know my identity, so I won't need to introduce myself again, right?"
Li Yunjing curiously asked.
Why would soone from the Buddhist Sect co to find him?
Was it for the Blood Bodhi Tree, nothing else seed worth the trouble?
As for seeking vengeance alone, sending soone to kill him specifically?
That seed a bit unnecessary!
Both were from major sects, defeats and victories were common. Who couldn't bear a minor setback?
"Amitabha! I am from Mingxin Temple, Dingxin!"
Monk Dingxin did not hide his identity, chanting a Buddhist mantra as he introduced himself.
Anyway, in Dingxin's view, with Li Yunjing being just a Fifth Heaven Foundation Establishnt cultivator, killing him was a matter of seconds with no chance of escape.
In such a certain victory, revealing so secrets was nothing.
"And why are you here? For the Blood Bodhi Tree?"
Li Yunjing continued to ask.
"It seems the Blood Bodhi Tree really did fall into your hands!"
Hearing Li Yunjing ntion the Blood Bodhi Tree, Dingxin's face twisted.
He must know that the Bodhi Fruit was his!
He had spent a hundred years for that Bodhi Fruit, and now it had fallen into Li Yunjing's hands, which filled him with utter hatred!
More critically, the Blood Bodhi Tree was not his and his master's but belonged to Mingxin Temple. It was lent to them for use, with only the fruits being theirs.
Without the Blood Bodhi Tree, Mingxin Temple would not spare them!
Now, finally learning the whereabouts of the Blood Bodhi Tree, as long as they reclaid it, their greatest issue would be resolved.
"Wonderful! It ca so easily! And the Bodhi Fruit?"
Feeling delightful, Dingxin asked again.
"Do you an that fruit? I ate it. It tasted quite good. If not for that, I wouldn't have been able to quickly raise my cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishnt Realm Fifth Heaven!"
Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, seemingly reminiscing the taste of the Bodhi Fruit, and casually said.
"What!"
Hearing this, Dingxin nearly blacked out, almost collapsing to the ground. He urgently asked, "You damned brat! Do you know that Bodhi Fruit was almost ripe in less than ten years!"
That was his hope for advancing to the Golden Core Realm!
Now, it was all gone!
Wasted by that boy from the Shenxiao Dao Sect!
