Chapter 2376: Chapter 2396: What, the Sect Conflict is Over?_1

For a moment, Lin Chen was bewildered. What was going on?

Where did this monk come from?

Wasn’t he in closed-door cultivation inside a tent at the Dragon Mountain Sect Camp? How come the moment he opened his eyes he saw a monk?

Where was his Master?

Where were the other members of the Dragon Mountain Sect?

Lin Chen dared not move. Although the monk was just staring at him, Lin Chen felt like he was being watched by a ferocious tiger; his intuition told him that any rash move on his part might attract a disaster.

While countless thoughts were racing through Lin Chen’s head, the monk fixed his gaze on him and asked again, "What is Buddhism?"

The crazed look in the monk’s eyes had become even more apparent, and his impatience and irritability were growing.

Lin Chen felt that if he did not answer soon, the monk would likely attack him.

Although he had no idea of the origin of the monk before him, the fact that the monk could appear in the Dragon Mountain Sect’s camp and in front of him meant that this monk’s strength was far from ordinary.

Lin Chen instinctively recalled the number one powerhouse of Buddhism that his Master and others had discussed before. Could this monk, with his crazed eyes, be that person?

If he really was that person, then what on earth had happened outside?

Just how long had he been asleep?

Lin Chen’s mind was a mess, but facing the increasingly dangerous gaze of the monk, Lin Chen blurted out, "Seeing one’s nature is Buddhism."

The crazed look in the monk’s eyes suddenly paused, and then his brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

"Where does one find this nature?"

Lin Chen replied off the cuff, "Nature is in action."

The monk’s frown deepened, "Where does action take place?"

Lin Chen continued to answer, "In the womb it’s called life, once born it’s called a person. In the eyes it’s seeing, in the ears it’s hearing, in the nose it’s discerning scent, in the tongue it’s debate, in the hands it’s gripping, in the feet it’s running."

The monk muttered to himself, the craziness in his eyes lessening considerably. He got up, "You kid, do possess some comprehension. Given that, I shall spare your life..."

Lin Chen’s heart, which had been on edge, suddenly felt some relief. Had he passed the test?

Mom, that was terrifying.

What did Lin Chen know about Buddhist doctrine? He had merely recited some widely known Buddhist verses that he remembered at random, not expecting that today they would actually save his life.

Watching the monk turn around to leave, Lin Chen had just let out a sigh of relief when the monk suddenly turned back.

"You kid have something in that head of yours. Come with me, and let’s discourse on Buddhism!"

Lin Chen was startled and about to speak when he realized that he was completely immobilized; he couldn’t even utter a single word.

His body began to float in the air as if pulled by invisible ropes like a balloon, drifting behind the monk.

As the monk stepped forward, the tent in front of them tore open instantly, and the powerful Array Formation outside collapsed in an instant.

The scene outside caught Lin Chen’s eyes, and with this glance, he drew a sharp intake of breath.

Lin Chen remembered there being a range of mountains in front of the camp, but now that range was gone, replaced by a huge, bottomless abyss. The entire ground seemed as if it had been bombed into oblivion.

The camps of the Three Sects were on the edge of this deep abyss, and the people from the Three Sects were all gathered together, their eyes angrily and fearfully fixed on the monk and Lin Chen.

Within the Dragon Mountain Sect camp, Liuyun, Huiyun, and others watched the bound Lin Chen with anger and concern. Behind them, the three ladies of Purple Cloud were worried, and Gu Yuexi’s eyes had reddened, as she fought back tears.

On the Taoist side, Chenguang and others were numerous, looking anxiously at the monk.

On the Buddhist side, Xuan Neng and the others looked sorrowful, filled with helplessness.

Xuan Neng clasped his hands together, stepped forward, and said, "Ancestor Master, the conflict is over. I ask you to release this Dragon Mountain Sect disciple. Seal your own strength, and do not fall into the path of demons!"

Immobilized, Lin Chen was stunned when he heard Xuan Neng Heshang’s words.

It wasn’t because this monk was the indescribable number one powerhouse of the Three Sects, but because of what he’d said—the conflict was over?

What was going on?

Had all seven battles between the Three Sects and the Sea God Sect concluded?

Just how long had he slept?

The earth had split open, and he hadn’t felt a thing from inside the camp?

That was too exaggerated.

Lin Chen’s gaze swept across everyone, and he suddenly grew anxious.

Where was Master Floating Cloud?

Where was the Master he had just acknowledged?

Now that he was being abducted by this mad monk, if his Master was around, he would surely come to save him, wouldn’t he?

Even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t just watch as his disciple was taken by this mad monk, would he?

The fact that he hadn’t appeared—did that mean he had suffered a great misfortune and couldn’t show himself?

A surge of worry rose in Lin Chen’s heart.

He had just become a disciple, and Master Floating Cloud was so eager to pass on the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics to him, even delivering this long speech as if he was leaving his last words. And now there really seemed to be trouble.

Even though Master Floating Cloud had ulterior motives for Lin Chen, no matter what, he had directly imparted the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics. For a Master, that was more than enough.

In other sects, one would have to undergo many tests and achieve numerous merits to learn, but he had merely kowtowed three times and already learned it.

Having addressed him as Master once, Lin Chen subconsciously started to worry about his safety.

He must have encountered trouble. Now, the most pressing matter was, could he have... perished?
