Chapter 354: Chapter 247 Stop!_2

The leading fat monk was none other than Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts.

Upon seeing Li Ping’an, he became so excited that he embraced Li Ping’an in his arms.

"Big brother, what’s wrong?"

Li Ping’an looked at Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, in astonishment.

"Big brother?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, Li Ping’an, the Ghost Taoist, Household Department Minister Di Lishi, and other distinguished figures from the Taoist sect along with the remaining cultivators, including the Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, Immortal Fei He, and other cultivators, were all stunned:

"Big brother?"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, held Li Ping’an tightly and excitedly said,

"Of course, it was my master who sent me!"

"Master?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, Li Ping’an, the Ghost Taoist, and Household Department Minister Di Lishi, and other distinguished figures from the Taoist sect along with the remaining cultivators were again taken aback:

The monk looked impressive, and one could tell right away that his master was no ordinary person!

Li Ping’an grew even more confused,

"Was it the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk who asked you to come?"

"What? The Supreme Tathagata Dragon Lake Monk is this monk’s master?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, Li Ping’an, the Ghost Taoist, and Household Department Minister Di Lishi, and other distinguished figures from the Taoist sect along with the remaining cultivators, including the Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, Immortal Fei He, and other cultivators, were again surprised:

When had Li Ping’an become associated with the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk?

Of course, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect knew the reason behind this, for he had previously instructed his disciples to investigate news about Pei Yuanjing and learned that the person who had beaten Xie Wenren was Mahaparinirvana, the disciple of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk.

But he had never thought of seeking out the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Lake Monk due to the danger involved, as he could not afford to provoke him.

He had almost forgotten about this matter, but now that someone from the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk had come, and it was the same Mahaparinirvana who had beaten Xie Wenren, it surely must be the intention of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk!

So, what if it was the intention of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk? What should they do?

"No rush, let’s wait and see how things unfold!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was in no hurry to act; he wanted to see what exactly this group of monks intended to do.

"Exactly!"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, nodded and said,

"It is my master’s command that I bring you back to the True Buddha Temple!"

"Now?"

Li Ping’an was very puzzled,

"Why would the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk suddenly ask you to call me back?"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, shook his head, confused,

"I don’t know, my master said if you have finished your worldly affairs, you should return to the True Buddha Temple tonight, and we’ll talk about everything else tomorrow!"

"That fat monk, you can’t take him away!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect politely said to Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts,

"Master, Li Ping’an still has some matters to deal with us here, so..."

"So nothing!"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, pointed at Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect’s nose and cursed,

"Bull’s nose! What business is it of yours when brothers are talking?"

"Monk, watch your mouth when speaking to my master!"

Senior Brother of the Flame Cloud Sect, Jiao Chujun, and the second, third, and fourth senior brothers immediately rushed in front of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen and started scolding Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts.

"Oh dear! You damn little beast, daring to meddle in our affairs?"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, was about to strike with his Zen staff at the senior brother of the Flame Cloud Sect, Jiao Chujun!

But before he could make a move, he was held back by the martial monk behind him:

"Mahaparinirvana, have you forgotten what the master told you?"

"Damn it!"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, then stepped back, pointing at the senior brother of the Flame Cloud Sect, Jiao Chujun, and cursed,

"Little beast, you’re lucky today. If it weren’t for my master’s orders not to cause trouble, I would have broken your dog legs today!"

Upon hearing that it was a disciple of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Lake Monk from the True Buddha Temple, the Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, Immortal Fei He, immediately stepped forward and politely said,

"Esteemed master, may I ask what brings you to our place?"

"Are you deaf?"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana pointed at Immortal Fei He, the Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, and yelled:

"I’m here to take my brother back to True Buddha Temple!"

"This..."

Although Immortal Fei He feared the Dragon Tree Divine Monk from the Supreme Tathagata, he was ultimately a man of the Taoist sect, so he still defended Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen:

"Master, Li Ping’an still has some matters to resolve here, could you wait outside?"

"Go to hell!"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana glanced at Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, and Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, Li Ping’an, the Ghost Taoist, Household Department Minister Di Lishi, and other notable figures from the Taoist community. He harshly questioned:

"Who is Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen?"

"I am!"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen immediately responded.

"You are Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen?"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana stared at his Taoist robe and mocked:

"Wearing the same robe as that waste, Xie Wenren, who I beat up, it’s definitely you!"

"So it was him who beat up Xie Wenren!"

"I heard about a wild monk from the Buddhist Community who had beaten up Xie Wenren, never thought it was actually true!"

"Turns out he’s a disciple of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk, no wonder there’s been no talk of vengeance from Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen."

"But how could such a revered high monk have such a vicious disciple?"

"All foul-mouthed, constantly breaking precepts, is he really a monk?"

"Yeah, with a rogue’s air and a fierce look, nothing like a disciple should be."

"Just got here, and every other word is a curse, all aimed at insulting others!"

"He’s only this arrogant because he rides on the coattails of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk."

Although the cultivators muttered to one another, not one dared to say it aloud in front of Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana.

Not because they were afraid of Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana, but because they were wary of the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk behind him.

"Nonsense!"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana continued to press:

"What exactly do you need to handle between you and my brother? Handle it now, my master is waiting!"

"That monk!"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen gingerly said:

"Your brother killed my brother Pei Yuanjing without reason and took our Flame Cloud Sect’s three treasured Immortal Slaying Swords, I can’t let him just walk away today."

"If he returns the Immortal Slaying Sword voluntarily, we’ll let this matter drop!"

"If not..."

"If not, what can you do?"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana scoffed:

"Look at you, a sect leader, yet speaking like an idiot, blabbering nonsense! Claiming that my brother killed Pei Yuanjing and took the Immortal Slaying Sword!"

"Nonsense?"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen explained agitatedly:

"This is a confirmed fact!"

"What a confirmed fact!"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana found Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen increasingly ridiculous and retorted:

"Is this fact something you saw with your own eyes?"

"Not with my own eyes..."

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen was suddenly at a loss for words:

"But..."

"But nothing!"

Defrocked Monk Mahaparinirvana immediately said:

"You didn’t see it, but I did!"

"What?"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing.
