Chapter 484: Chapter 484: I’m Very Disappointed in You, Shaolin!

Dong—

Dong—

Dong—

Just as the two figures had concealed themselves, the Shaolin warning bell, quiet for a hundred years, sounded again. The deep and distant tolling echoed through the mountains within a ten-mile radius, startling flocks of birds into flight.

Amidst the sound of the bell, hundreds of martial monks rushed out from their respective pavilions, courtyards, and halls—some bare-handed, some wielding staffs—and quickly assembled in the large courtyard in front of the Thousand Buddha Hall.

The Thousand Buddha Hall served as the training room for Shaolin monks. Around the walls inside the hall were many ancient martial arts murals for the monks to refer to during their training. It was one of the most secretive places in Shaolin, where many monks with unique abilities and fame in the Ancient Martial World had emerged.

Naturally, it was Fang Bai and Ghost Hand who had forced Shaolin to sound its century-old warning bell and gather all the temple’s monks for defense.

The master and disciple, seeking to confront Abbot Jueren for an explanation, did not know the location of his residence, so they fought their way from the gate of the mountain, only to be surrounded by a group of martial monks in front of the Thousand Buddha Hall.

Along the way, the pair had caused injuries to quite a few monks who tried to stop them. Even Elder Juecong, who rushed over from the Discipline Hall after hearing the news, sustained minor injuries from a single punch from Fang Bai.

Realizing the formidable strength of Fang Bai, and that not even the Abbot might match him, Juecong signaled one monk to strike the warning bell, hoping to suppress Fang Bai and his disciple with the collective force of all Shaolin monks.

The sound of the warning bell not only disturbed Jueren, who was in deep cultivation within the Abbot’s hall, but also alerted the other elders from the different courtyards, pavilions, and halls to hurry over. Together with Jueming, who had just finished recuperating and ascended from the base of the mountain, the Abbot and the six elders overseeing one pavilion, one courtyard, and four halls, were all present.

It was a rare sight to witness the seven most powerful elders of Shaolin, who usually held different responsibilities—some of them spending years in seclusion, seldom having the chance to meet—now gathered together.

Especially Elder Jueyi, who oversaw the Scripture Pavilion, was shrouded in mystery; many Shaolin martial monks were seeing his true appearance for the first time.

The six elders each possessed the strength of an Earth Level beginner, while Abbot Jueren was an Earth Level intermediate martial artist.

In the Secular Ancient Martial World, a sect like Qingcheng Temple, stationed by two experts at the Profound Level Perfection, was already considered a first-rate sect. Shaolin not only had experts at the Profound Level Perfection but also seven Earth Level martial artists, showcasing their overwhelming strength.

"Actually having seven Earth Level experts... No wonder Shaolin is known as the number one major sect in the Huaxia Ancient Martial World..."

Fang Bai’s gaze swept over the seven elderly Shaolin monks, led by Jueren, through the human wall formed by numerous Shaolin monks. He felt a hint of excitement and anticipation stirring within him.

Although Fang Bai’s current cultivation level was only equivalent to that of an Earth Level intermediate, his combination of high-ranking martial arts techniques and a formidable physique meant his true combat strength far exceeded his own cultivation level, enabling him to battle Heaven Level martial artists.

Fang Bai had always regretted the lack of equals in the Secular Ancient Martial World, but now, if the seven Earth Level experts of Shaolin were to join forces, perhaps he could engage them in full combat.

For a martial artist, battling an equal opponent can draw out one’s potential, which is a good method to improve one’s own cultivation level, even more so for Fang Bai.

In his previous life, Fang Bai was known as the "Immortal Realm War Emperor," and "Doctor Venerable." The title "War Emperor" was earned through countless battles and victories.

In combat, Fang Bai continuously deepened his understanding of the Martial Dao and improved himself until he stood at the peak of the Immortal Realm emperors.

This life, reborn in possession of another body, Fang Bai had countless martial arts techniques in his mind, which needed to be re-perceived and perfected through relentless battling to return to the pinnacle.

"Abbot, I was entrusted by you to go down the mountain and offer an apology to these two, and to return the copied Heaven Rank Technique, but they provoked trouble without reason..."

Elder Jueming, upon seeing Abbot Jueren, walked up to him, and recounted the events at the base of the mountain with a face full of indignation.

"Jueming, you’ve been injured?"

After listening to Jueming, Jueren asked with a frown and then looked at Fang Bai and his disciple in surprise.

Jueming was the one dispatched down the mountain to apologize to the disciples of Myriad Medicine Valley who had come seeking justice from Shaolin; now he had been injured. Needless to say, it must have been the two young men who were surrounded.

What surprised Jueren was that of these two young men, one was an Earth Level Junior Martial Artist, and the other only possessed mid-tier Profound Level strength. How could it be possible for them to injure Jueming with just their abilities?

"Abbot, this young... this young benefactor is very powerful; he injured me with just one move. I failed to stop them from ascending the mountain and am willing to accept punishment!"

Jueming pointed at Fang Bai and said with a face full of shame.

"What?"

As soon as Jueming spoke these words, not only did Jueren cry out in shock, but the other Elders present also changed color abruptly.

As the Elder of Reception Hall, Jueming’s strength was comparable to the other five Elders. To defeat him in one move, one would need at least the strength of a mid-tier Earth Level Martial Artist; even Abbot Jueren would not be confident in defeating Jueming in one move.

Jueming was certainly not one to lie, yet the young man he referred to clearly only had the cultivation level of an Earth Level Junior realm!

The gazes of Jueren and others momentarily fell on Fang Bai, appraising him non-stop, as if they wanted to see through to his very core.

"No need to look any further; I am indeed the one who injured this old monk!"

Fang Bai looked at Jueren with piercing eyes and said, "You must be the Abbot of Shaolin, right? You should know why we have come! Give us an explanation for the matter of Myriad Medicine Valley!"

"Amitabha!"

Jueren chanted the Buddha’s name, greeted with a gesture of prayer, and asked, "Is the young benefactor the Myriad Medicine Valley disciple who slaughtered all the Profound Level Experts of Misty Rain Tower and Qingcheng Temple?"

"I am not."

Fang Bai pointed at Ghost Hand beside him and said, "The Myriad Medicine Valley disciple is here; I am his master!"

Jueren glanced at Ghost Hand and sighed, "For the matter of Myriad Medicine Valley, I deeply regret. However... just now, I entrusted Elder Jueming to offer you both an apology and the return of the transcribed Heaven Rank Technique. Are the two benefactors still not satisfied?"

"Reporting to the Abbot, these two benefactors just proposed two conditions: one is for you to personally apologize to them; the other is to abolish the cultivation of the Martial Monks involved in the Myriad Medicine Valley matter. I refused them, and as a result, they forced their way up the mountain, insisting on an explanation from you!"

Jueming spoke indignantly.

"How audacious!"

"Presumptuous!"

"How preposterous!"

"Such oppressive behavior, utterly unreasonable!"

"Why waste words with them? Just drive them down the mountain!"

No sooner had Jueming finished speaking than the Elders present glared at Fang Bai and his disciple, rebuking them loudly.

Fang Bai laughed, ignoring the accusations of the several Shaolin Elders, and said to Jueren, "To be honest, I previously held some respect for Shaolin, believing that Shaolin monks were all compassionate and taught righteousness. But now... I am very disappointed in you Shaolin! As Shaolin monks, yet you partake in secular conflicts and commit sinful deeds. How can you then teach righteousness and convert all living beings?"
