Chapter 326: Chapter 233: Promotion and Fortune!_2

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

At this moment, Li Ping’an’s view of warriors was completely overturned.

Including himself, everyone harbored immense fear of the spells cast by the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

Yet, the cultivators from the Immeasurable Sect, who were warriors with dual cultivation in martial arts, feared nothing!

Just this point alone made them stronger than all the cultivators present!

Stronger than Li Ping’an!

And it was enough to earn Li Ping’an’s respect!

"Warrior? Lower Nine Streams?"

Li Ping’an cast a disdainful look over the cultivators and uttered:

"It is indeed true that the most righteous are often butchers, while those who betray are scholars!"

"Whoever claims to be high society is probably the lowest of the low!"

"Warriors! Taishu Yiqing, leader of the Immeasurable Sect, Immeasurable Sect, these friends, I, Li Ping’an, will surely make!"

Having witnessed the terrifying strength of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of Flame Cloud Sect hesitated. But after hearing the words of the Immeasurable Sect Leader Taishu Yiqing, he knew that at this moment, all eyes were on him—both the Imperial Court and the eyes of the world.

If a warrior from the Lower Nine Streams could be so fearless, then he, as a Taoist cultivator from the Upper Three Streams, certainly could not fall behind.

Thus, he swiftly rolled up his Taoist robe and fervently proclaimed to everyone:

"Today, we of the Taoist sect will fight to the death or to glory!"

"We must come to a decisive battle with these demons and heretics!"

"I will not rest until the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva is dead!"

"Good!"

The leader of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other Taoist leaders were all roused, showing a unified spirit of enmity!

They knew the events of today would be remembered throughout the world, by the Great Tang Dynasty, by all the people watching!

Therefore, they, the cultivators who claimed to walk the Orthodox Path, could not take a single step back!

"Hahahaha!"

Undying Immortal Kumarajiva looked at these people’s hypocritical expressions and laughed scornfully:

"What a touching scene this is!"

No sooner had Kumarajiva spoken than sealing talismans began to float down from the ten coffins nearest to the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva’s feet.

And at the moment the talismans fluttered down, the chains on the black coffins were nearly broken from within!

"Look! My puppets are so eager to kill you all!"

As Kumarajiva spoke, the lids of the ten coffins that had dropped their talismans and chains slammed onto the ground fiercely, striking a nerve in everyone present.

"They’re coming out! They’ve come out!"

Under the tense gaze of everyone, they knew that the coffins must hold something formidable, but they never imagined that what would come out would drive them nearly to despair and compel them to kneel involuntarily.

They saw that what emerged from those ten coffins were none other than the geniuses from the Taoist sects over the past five hundred years, since the Great Tang’s holy monk Xuanzang, along with Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and Bai Long sought the Buddhist scriptures from the west.

Included were the founding patriarchs of the Four Great Noble Paths and other Taoist geniuses and masters.

Any one of them was an existence that all the cultivators present could only look up to!

"Have you not knelt yet?"

As the patriarchs, geniuses, and masters stepped out of the ten coffins, they saw the disciples of their respective sects and sternly ordered them to kneel.

"Patriarchs, are you still alive?"

The leader of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other prominent Taoists trembled in shock at the sight of their own sect’s patriarchs, masters, and geniuses.

Undying Immortal Kumarajiva smiled triumphantly:

"You think that’s all? Continue opening them!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

As the remaining black coffins also began to drop their sealing talismans, gusts of black wind howled out of each one.

This black wind quickly filled the sky, enveloping the entirety of Moyun Temple and turning the skies above into darkness!

Such commotion naturally alarmed the other masters within Chang’an City.

Inside the True Buddha Temple, Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk suddenly looked towards Moyun Temple and then called for Mahaparinirvana.

Once Mahaparinirvana arrived, the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk ordered him solemnly:

"Your dear brother Li Ping’an is in danger. Lead the temple’s martial monks to Moyun Temple and ensure your brother’s safe return without any mishap!"

"Yes, Master!"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, immediately picked up his Zen Staff and prepared to lead the temple’s martial monks to escort Li Ping’an.

However, when he had walked out ten meters, the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Divine Monk called out to the retreating figure of Mahaparinirvana:

"Mahaparinirvana, remember, if anyone obstructs you from escorting Li Ping’an to True Buddha Temple, tell them it’s this old monk’s command!"

"If they do not accept, let them come find this old monk!"

"Remember it well!"

"Thank you, Master, for your help to my brother!"

After Mahaparinirvana had spoken, he hurriedly went on his way.

After Mahaparinirvana had left, the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Divine Monk called out to the void:

"King Tianran, could it be that you have lost your way?"

"Yes! Yes!"

An embarrassed voice came from the void:

"Old Monk, which direction is Moyun Temple in Chang’an City?"

"In just a short while, I have already traversed the Four Great Continents, and yet I cannot find the way back!"

"You, oh you!"

The Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Divine Monk immediately guided:

"In the direction of the Southern Dipper’s fire element, about a hundred and eighty thousand li from where you are now!"

"Thank you, old monk!"

...

Chang’an City, Fairy Music Workshop.

Peach Blossom Sword Immortal Li Wubai, who had been dining here, suddenly sensed a huge change from Moyun Temple. However, he was unconcerned, for with the World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran stationed there, it was impossible for chaos to ensue.

But just as he was preparing to continue drinking, the voice of Imperial Censor Grandee Han Yu came to his mind:

"An anomaly at Moyun Temple, won’t you go have a look?"

Li Wubai squinted his eyes and teased in the direction of Imperial Censor Grandee Han Yu’s mansion:

"You, as the leader of Qingliu, do not go to see, and yet you want me to go? Are you speaking senselessly? Didn’t you see that I am enjoying wine and flowers?"

"Li Wubai, this time it’s a tough character coming!"

Imperial Censor Grandee Han Yu said anxiously:

"Besides the heads of the Four Great Noble Paths, such as Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Ghost Taoist, and Li Ping’an, who else can deal with him?"

"Isn’t King Tianran there?"

Li Wubai took the opportunity to sip some wine, then casually said:

"King Tianran is not there at the moment, but he’ll be there shortly!"

"Don’t worry, as long as that lad is there, not to mention one Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, even if the Eight Great Demon Lords came, they could all be handled."

"Alright then!"

Imperial Censor Grandee Han Yu replied helplessly:

"I’ll leave it to King Tianran then! I’m going back to my reading!"

"Don’t be in such a rush to read? We have so many experts in Qingliu, and you only order me about? Isn’t Xin Jiaxuan free as well? And that other guy, who was it?"

"Goodbye!"

The voice of Imperial Censor Grandee Han Yu disappeared from Li Wubai’s mind!

"This old man... always targeting me! Hmph! Always targeting me!"

...

Inside Moyun Temple, the more than fifty coffins summoned by Undying Immortal Kumarajiva had all been opened by now.

All the cultivators present saw their ancestral masters, past high-cultivation Sect Leaders, and geniuses walk out from the coffins.

The cultivators of lower Cultivation immediately knelt upon seeing these figures, partly out of respect, partly out of fear, and of course, mostly out of a fear of death.

They all knew of the strength of these ancestral masters, past high-cultivation Sect Leaders, and geniuses. The lowest Cultivation among them was of the Terrestrial Immortal Domain.

Moreover, with so many of them gathered together, their combined destructive power, as the Ghost Taoist said, could indeed destroy Chang’an City!

"Stand up!"
