Chapter 406: Chapter 406: The Buddha’s Light Intimidates

Hong Qi narrowly escaped death and lay on the ground, taking a long breath of relief.

Zhang Xuan’er hurried to bandage his wounds. The injuries that had nearly healed were bleeding profusely again due to Zheng Bin’s torture.

When Fat Wang and the others emerged, they had chopped off many stalks of the Blood Spirit Flower.

Zhang Xuan’er, not caring about the consequences, asked them to take out the flower stems, trying to squeeze the juice onto Hong Qi’s wounds.

This move actually worked wonders as the wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye upon contact with the juice.

Fat Wang and Lu Buping exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that this was truly a top-notch herb!

He hurried over to borrow the Tai’a Sword from Long Fei and went back into the cave with Lu Buping, intending to harvest all the flower stems.

Long Fei didn’t stop them, as the Divine Beast was no longer there.

Those stalks lying there would no longer grow new Blood Spirit Flowers anyway.

He approached and stood with furrowed brows in front of Vajra.

Vajra was slamming his fists on the ground, bellowing in anger, "You killed my young master, I will kill you all!"

Long Fei chastised him, "Is this what Patriarch Buddha taught you, to abet tyranny like this?"

Vajra retorted angrily, "The Zheng Family has done me a kindness, I ate their food, used their resources, how is that abetting tyranny?"

"Obstinate and foolish, with your understanding, how are you fit to be a follower of the Buddhist Sect?"

Long Fei shook his head, having originally intended to recruit him as an imposing gatekeeper deity.

Now, it seemed there was no need for that.

He held the sword at the ready, aiming at Vajra’s brow, about to deal a decisive blow.

Around his neck, a Bodhi Seed, inlaid with a brass piece and tied with a hemp rope was shaking suddenly, emitting a streak of golden light.

A voice intoned, "Amitabha," resounding in Long Fei’s ears.

"You don’t want me to kill him?"

Long Fei frowned, taking a hard look at Vajra, thinking he indeed was someone with a connection to Buddha.

A golden light emanated from the Bodhi Bead, seeping into Vajra’s head.

Vajra’s gaze immediately became murky, he stared at Long Fei like an imbecile, the killing intent on his face vanished, and he drooled senselessly.

Long Fei was shocked, thinking to himself how powerful the Bodhi Bead was, even knowing his thoughts.

If he spared Vajra and the latter returned and recounted the events to the Zheng Family, they would undoubtedly face considerable trouble again.

Now that Vajra had gone insane, he would be unable to articulate anything even if he went back.

After Fat Wang and Lu Buping returned, the group promptly set out to leave the place.

With many wild beasts nearby, the corpses would be devoured clean before long, and there was no need for clean-up.

Moreover, it was a place that ordinary people couldn’t enter.

After becoming an imbecile, Vajra was like a three-year-old infant, closely following behind Long Fei.

No matter what Long Fei and his companions asked, all he did was giggle foolishly.

Long Fei didn’t know by what means the Bodhi Seed had transformed Vajra into this state.

The mind-control technique of the Buddhist Sect was truly formidable!

It’s said they could even convert Asuras from hell into their Eight Heavenly Dragons.

Making Vajra stupid was child’s play in comparison.

He weakly thought, if he were subjected to the same thing, wouldn’t he end up just like Vajra?

This thought disturbed him somewhat.

He caressed the Bodhi Seed in his hand, indecisive about whether to take the chance and throw it away.

His current relationship with the Bodhi Seed was one of mutual use.

Carrying this seed for spiritual practice brought great benefits, aiding concentration and calming the spirit.

Even in the presence of a Heavenly Immortal beauty, this seed could protect his mind from becoming perturbed.

After considering, he ultimately decided to keep it, but became much more wary of the Bodhi Seed.

Hong Qi, seriously injured, couldn’t walk for long.

Long Fei simply had Vajra carry him, a journey that took a full two days on the way here.

On the way back, their speed was extremely fast.

Fat Wang and the other three used the breathing techniques he taught them, and they followed him out before the sky turned dark.

At the campsite on the beach, Vice-Captain Yang Gang of the expedition team was leading the members, anxiously waiting for them to come out.

Everyone had already discussed that if Li Zhenni didn’t come out soon, they would go in to look for her.

Even if they died inside, it would be more honorable than returning to Binhai City in disgrace.

With the team leader of the expedition in trouble, how could they live in cowardice? Going back would only lead to being ridiculed.

The group was ecstatic when they saw Long Fei and the others, and they embraced each other one by one.

With strong winds and big waves at night, nobody said much, and they boarded the ship ready to leave the area before discussing further.

Leaving the small island, Li Zhenni, Zhang Xuan’er, and others watched from afar, feeling as if they had just experienced a nightmare.

The trip was not in vain, as the Blood Spirit Flower was found, but it was all grabbed by a greedy person.

Li Zhenni ground her teeth looking at Long Fei, the thought of having to spend money to buy the flower from this man was extremely frustrating.

They unanimously kept the events on the island a secret, not even revealing news about the Blood Spirit Flower.

If the news spread, who knows how many people in the same field would come looking for trouble.

On the way, Long Fei had already reminded them all once.

Old Man Hong Qi had been saved by him twice. As a member of the Hong Sect, he understood the meaning of loyalty and was also unaware that Long Fei had obtained the Blood Spirit Flower.

Zhang Xuan’er didn’t tell him about it.

After a night of sailing, everyone finally returned to Li Family Port.

Li Zhenni invited Zhang Xuan’er to the base of the exploration team. As Hong Qi needed time to recover from his injuries, Zhang Xuan’er didn’t plan to leave just yet and happily agreed.

Since the Blood Spirit Flower’s whereabouts were already known, she wasn’t in a hurry and thought it a good opportunity to enjoy Binhai City.

Fat Wang and Lu Buping, of course, followed her back.

Looking at the simple and foolish Vajra, Long Fei felt a headache coming on and handed the man over to Li Zhenni to take back to the training base.

Although Vajra was a bit slow-witted, he could still take care of his basic needs.

And with his enormous strength, he was a good hand at heavy labor.

Li Zhenni naturally wouldn’t refuse such a useful person.

The rest of the exploration team was puzzled; there was no Vajra or Zhang Xuan’er when they went in, but they came out with a few extra people.

On the way back, Li Zhenni only said that Zhang Xuan’er was an adventurer from Xianggang who happened to run into them. She didn’t elaborate further and even instructed the team members to keep the matter confidential.

The others weren’t that curious; having lost two team members, they were lucky to be alive and back, with no desire to ponder further.

The group parted ways at the dock, Long Fei not yet ready to discuss the Blood Spirit Flower with them.

He carried a pack of belongings and, looking like someone who had escaped a disaster, bare-bodied, caught a taxi back to Lin’s Group.

He had no choice but to return; his phone was filled with missed calls from Lin Yingying.

Everyone else’s phones were lost, only his was left on the boat and never brought with him.

Having not seen the CEO for a long time, he was prepared to be scolded.

Upon entering the building, the receptionists and security guards all gave him curious looks, some couldn’t help but laugh outright, probably thinking he had been robbed.

His pants were filthy, and he was shirtless.

Long Fei snuck into the security room and had Xu Dong find him a set of security uniform to put on first.

Xu Dong was amused as well, frowning as he sized him up, "Boss, what have you been up to? Why are you dressed like you’ve fled from disaster?"

Long Fei had no time for these questions and asked him, "What’s happened at the company these past couple of days?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Dong said, "Nothing major, I guess? Recently a phony foreign devil has been showing up, waiting outside for Director Lin to get off work in his sports car, sending her a huge bouquet of fresh flowers every day. I heard that he is some rich second-generation from America who Director Lin met during her studies abroad. His family is in international trade and they are quite wealthy!"

"What?"

Long Fei finished buttoning up and his eyes widened.

Damn it, he hadn’t been gone for a few days, and someone had already come to poach in his territory.
