Chapter 1305 – Have You Eaten?
The footsteps were soft and gentle, with a distinctive cadence, as if resonating with all of heaven and earth.
The mountains and rivers were silent and still. Even the wind came to a halt.
In the crowd’s ears, these soft footsteps went off like the beating of a heavenly drum, assailing their hearts and making them quiver with fright!
Is someone else getting involved? Zhuang Bifan, Wei Shan, and the others were surprised and uncertain.
“Don’t be afraid! Our pillar of support has arrived!” Li Beishan called out excitedly, his eyes shining.
He transmitted at top speed, telling Su Yi’s companions not to be afraid. All they had to do was stand back and watch the show!
“I wouldn’t have thought that even she’d show up…” Buddhist Master Blood Lantern’s white eyebrows knit together, a rare hint of solemnity on his face.
There was a woman who instilled terror in the hearts of everyone in the Impermeable Demon Ocean.
Throughout the ages, she’d always remained tucked away in her little corner, rarely leaving seclusion. She spent her days planting vegetables, arranging flowers, and brewing wine.
Occasionally, when the mood struck her, she’d take her dog for a stroll through the Impermeable Demon Ocean.
Even when she went out, she kept an extremely low profile. She never revealed herself, nor did she involve herself in any of the Impermeable Demon Ocean’s affairs.
But every intelligent revenant knew they couldn’t provoke her!
Those foolish enough to try it disappeared!
Who knew how many revenants had vanished into thin air as a result of provoking her?
Their ranks included several incredibly powerful existences!
Even Buddhist Master Blood Lantern still wasn’t sure of her limits. She was too mysterious and too unsociable. She just acted as she pleased.
The Ghost Scholar sighed and rubbed his nose. “If she wants a share… then let’s just give her one.”
Buddhist Master Blood Lantern fell silent, while the Fisherman’s heart filled with terror. That terrifying woman is here too?
This is truly unprecedented!
The Fisherman had been trapped here for countless years. He’d heard stories of this woman’s terrifying might, but even after all this time, this was his first time laying eyes on her.
It seems even someone like her can’t resist the temptation of reincarnation… The Fisherman couldn’t help but glance pityingly at Su Yi. So what if you reincarnated and returned? Times have already changed!
In the past, we all honored you as the Temple Master, but now, you’re nothing more than a fish on the chopping block for these revenant survivors of the End of the Dharma to divide as they see fit!
Gentle footsteps with a unique cadence approached amidst the oppressive, deathly silence.
Su Yi looked over and saw a modestly dressed woman illuminated by the misty light of the setting sun. Its red glow almost made her seem intoxicated.
Her skin was slightly sallow, and her features were a bit plain. She was neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short. There was absolutely nothing outwardly special about her.
Save for her eyes, which were as clear and bright as autumn waters, as if reflecting the light of the heavens.
A yellow dog followed her like a shadow.
The dog seemed a bit ostentatious; it puffed up its chest and held its head and tail high. Its gaze surveyed its surroundings like a sovereign surveying his territory.
When they saw the plainly dressed woman and her dog arrive, the atmosphere sank even deeper into silence.
Su Yi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. The woman’s aura was truly quite distinctive, as tranquil as the waters of an ancient well, yet somehow unfathomably deep.
“Daoist Master! I was too inept to complete your orders. I’ve disappointed you,” said Li Beishan. He rushed up in terror and lowered his head.
This plainly dressed woman was none other than Daoist Master Red Cloud, one of the three most terrifying entities in the entire Impermeable Demon Ocean.
She glanced briefly at Li Beishan before focusing her attention on Su Yi.
Su Yi was instantly solemn, and he sensed a formless threat. It was an indescribable premonition, as if this seemingly unassuming woman presented a lethal threat.
The crowd’s hearts tensed.
But against all expectations, she just asked a single question. “Have you eaten?”
“???”
The crowd didn’t know what to make of that. Su Yi’s companions were completely dumbstruck.
What… What’s that supposed to mean?
Buddhist Master Blood Lantern’s frown deepened.
The Ghost Scholar’s smile faded, and his gaze frosted over.
Su Yi was briefly stunned too, but a moment later, he responded honestly. “I haven’t.”
Daoist Master Red Cloud said, “I made dumplings, and I have some left. If you’re not averse, you’d be welcome to try some.”
Su Yi smiled. “What kind of filling?”
“Egg and chive,” said Daoist Master Red Cloud. A moment later, she added, “I planted the chives myself. I couldn’t find chicken eggs, so I substituted the eggs of other fowl. The flavor’s rather decent.”
“Do you have alcohol?” asked Su Yi.
The yellow dog instantly glared at him, his eyes wide with displeasure. It seemed to find it astonishing that Su Yi would dare make requests; it found his rudeness shocking.
But Daoist Master Red Cloud just said, “I do. I brewed it myself. I’m just not sure if it’ll be to your taste.”
“It’s enough that there’s alcohol,” said Su Yi. “I’m not picky.”
The two of them conversed like mortal neighbors discussing household affairs. Everyone else present found it utterly absurd. Their minds buzzed, and their eyes widened.
In a situation like this, calmly discussing such ordinary, trivial matters seemed incredibly out of place.
Yet for some reason, Daoist Master Red Cloud spoke with complete seriousness. Su Yi’s response was perfectly serious too.
Zhuang Bifan couldn’t help but transmit to Li Beishan, “Is this your pillar of support? Why does she seem…?”
“Shhh!” Li Beishan transmitted, interrupting him before he could finish his question. “What the hell do you know? This is what they mean when they say the great truths of the Grand Dao are simple. At the Daoist Master’s level, her heart is like that of an immortal from beyond the nine heavens, but she can also become just another member of the masses, simultaneously grand beyond measure and so small as to be invisible. That’s what it means to be a true expert!”
Zhuang Bifan was dazed just listening. He didn’t fully understand, but that only made him less willing to be negligent.
Even a revenant with strength far beyond a World King thought so highly of her. Furthermore, as soon as she showed up, both the Ghost Scholar and Buddhist Master Blood Lantern repressed their bluster. This woman was surely extraordinarily terrifying!
“Let’s go,” said Daoist Master Red Cloud, turning to leave. From beginning to end, she never paid any attention to any of the others present.
“Now?” Su Yi was stunned.
“Do you have anything going on?” Daoist Master Red Cloud asked right back.
Su Yi couldn’t help but take a deep, hard look at her.
He had to admit that although her features were a bit on the unexceptional side, the way she viewed everything with calm equanimity and acted however she pleased was extremely in line with his tastes.
“I still have business here,” said Su Yi.
“Tell me,” said Daoist Master Red Cloud.
Su Yi said, “This enmity must first come to an end.”
Daoist Master Red Cloud thought for a moment. “Who needs killing?”
“…” For a moment, Su Yi didn’t quite know what to say. This woman sure is direct!
Out loud, he said, “I can take care of it myself.”
The distant Ghost Scholar burst into mocking laughter. “Hear that, Daoist Master Red Cloud? This little guy has no desire to leave with you. Want to drag him away by force? You’ll have to see whether or not we agree, first.”
Buddhist Master Blood Lantern nodded. “We met here today because all of us are after the secrets of reincarnation. Since you’re here too, you can naturally take your share, but if you want to monopolize them… Well, it’ll be difficult for the rest of us to agree to that.”
They spoke quite politely.
But Daoist Master Red Cloud frowned and disappeared into thin air. A moment later, she appeared directly in front of the Ghost Scholar and reached for his throat.
The Ghost Scholar’s expression shifted dramatically, and he retreated explosively back. Nine flying swords suddenly floated up in front of him, each swathed in immortal light. Together, they formed a sword formation and cleaved at Daoist Master Red Cloud.
Boom!
However, Daoist Master Red Cloud made no attempt to dodge. She inserted her long, slender fingers directly into the formation, crushing it as if it were made of rotten wood.
When she tightened her grip…
Bang!
The fleeing Ghost Scholar flew through the air and into her hand, as if he were a wooden puppet and she’d just tugged on his strings.
“You…” The Ghost Scholar was so alarmed that his soul practically fled his body. Even if you’d hit him over the head, he could never have guessed that Daoist Master Red Cloud would be this terrifyingly domineering. He couldn’t even fight back!
“This is bad!” Buddhist Master Blood Lantern’s pupils constricted. His body suddenly lit up with radiant light. Countless blood-colored lotus lanterns rose into the air, seemingly intent on slaughtering the heavens and blotting out the earth as they enveloped him completely.
Upon closer inspection, there were one hundred and eight lanterns in total. All of them blazed with eerie blood-colored Buddhist light. Illusory Buddhas rose from the lantern’s wicks, one after another. All of them wept tears of blood.
But he still wasn’t finished. Buddhist Master Blood Lantern took out a string of prayer beads carved from white bone and held them in front of himself. Every prayer bead suddenly lit up with the light of the Dao, and each created a barrier.
Then, he turned and fled.
But before he’d gotten far…
Bang!
A fair, delicate fist imprint appeared out of thin air and descended, shattering all one hundred and eight blood lotus lanterns at once.
The illusory Buddhas weeping tears of blood cried out as they wept tears of ash.
Shockingly, it was Daoist Master Red Cloud who’d attacked. She held the Ghost Scholar aloft in her right hand, and with her left, she formed a hand seal and punched once more.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Barrier after barrier exploded, and prayer bead after prayer bead shattered.
Her fist seemed simply unstoppable. It bore through the sky, destroying Buddhist Master Blood Lantern’s secret defensive treasures like an axe through bamboo.
Just as the fist was about to strike Buddhist Master Blood Lantern, its fingers spread, and it seized him by the throat.
It was as if he’d been struck by lightning. He cried out in alarm, “I admit defeat!!”
His power had been sealed entirely. He felt like a little chicken she could slaughter as she pleased, and his heart filled with unprecedented terror, humiliation, and rage.
Too terrifying!
He’d contemplated the extent of Daoist Master Red Cloud’s strength on numerous occasions, but only now did he discover how juvenile and laughable his guesses were.
Even though he too was one of the most terrifying existences in the Impermeable Demon Ocean, he and Daoist Master Red Cloud were as far removed as heaven and earth!
He was completely outclassed!
Meanwhile, the crowd finally reacted. They took this in, astonishment written all over their faces as they stood there in a daze.
None of them could have dared imagine that this entirely unassuming woman dressed like a peasant would be this strong!
In the time it took to snap her fingers, she suppressed both the Ghost Scholar and Buddhist Master Blood Lantern, and she was holding them aloft like chickens!
Even Li Beishan couldn’t help but gasp, and his heart quivered violently in his chest.
A man’s reputation was like a tree’s shadow; it didn’t come out of nowhere.
But there was no doubt about it. Throughout the ages, rumors of Daoist Master Red Cloud’s power…. Completely underestimated her!
She was unquestionably the most terrifying person in the entire Impermeable Demon Ocean.
There was no one else like her!
