Chapter 1386: Chapter 1385: The Monks from the West Come Calling

Lu Zheng’s expression changed suddenly, "There’s been a change in Tonglin County!"

Si Lingxi didn’t hesitate, the Phoenix Power enveloped Lu Zheng, transforming into a rainbow light in an instant, shooting towards the north, saying simultaneously, "Don’t worry, they all have Teleportation Talismans, and I have set up arrangements in Taohua Village that can’t be broken easily."

Lu Zheng nodded, knowing Si Lingxi had arrangements in Tonglin County, he raised the wooden token at his waist to receive the information Shen Ying sent him.

This Peach Wood Token, originating from the Old Peach Tree, resonates with the Old Peach Tree Body. Although it can’t see scenes or hear sounds like Phoenix Divine Fire, it can transmit Divine Thought within a certain distance without issue.

Luckily, Shen Ying’s cultivation is high enough now, otherwise, Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi, being far away in the Southern Border, might not receive messages from her.

"Three monks suddenly appeared in Yizhou Prefecture, and stayed over in neighboring Yuhe County." Lu Zheng said.

Si Lingxi’s eyes flashed, "Monks from the Great Joyful Temple?"

"Don’t know, but listening to their accents, they don’t sound like Central Plains monks." Lu Zheng frowned and said.

"If they haven’t targeted Qingyan and Ying, then they’re waiting for you." Si Lingxi said calmly.

"Maybe they came with Master Dahuo. After the two monks looking for us disappeared, upon returning to the Western Buddha Country, notified the Great Joyful Temple, the timing seems right."

Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed, "If that’s the case, it’s possible they’ve already set traps at home."

Master Guiyin’s Dao Practice is not weak. If they came for revenge, they could tell at a glance that Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan aren’t the main targets, and if traps were laid at Lu Zheng’s home, they naturally wouldn’t notice.

"Those who come to seek revenge for the two monks might be experts." Lu Zheng said, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Aren’t they just here to die?

Once they finish off this group of monks, the Great Joyful Temple should settle down a bit.

If they dare come again, we’ll see how many experts they can afford to lose.

What? Why not go to the Western Buddha Country to eradicate the Great Joyful Temple from its root?

Don’t be ridiculous, you think you can just cut it off? How can it be so easy?

Back then, during the Central Plains turmoil, the Western Buddha Country was capable of overshadowing the Central Plains, its Western Buddhism not weaker than the Central Plains Buddhism at all.

The Great Joyful Temple is an important force of Western Buddhism. Even though not as superior as Fahua Temple, it doesn’t host the top experts, but the temple’s enduring legacy means it has deep roots and resources.

Moreover, the Western Buddha Country doesn’t only have the Great Joyful Temple. Temples like the Dudum Temple, Great Ming Wheel Temple, Celestial Pearl Temple are also around the Great Joyful Temple, with the ancestor of Dudum Temple being on the same level as Si Lingxi.

If people from the Great Joyful Temple come to the Central Plains to deal with Lu Zheng, it’s Lu Zheng’s home ground, backed by Si Lingxi, so Lu Zheng dares to declare that one who comes will die.

But if Lu Zheng dares to bring people to the Western Buddha Country, those monks wouldn’t give face to Lu Zheng and his companions either.

Let alone Lu Zheng, even if Si Lingxi, Dongyangzi, Ling Kunzi, and Zen Master Dejie go together, they absolutely can’t annihilate the Great Joyful Temple.

So, the end result might be a deep-seated hatred after enough deaths.

Equal-level individuals, if coincidentally met and conflict arises, might decide life and death, but different-level individuals wouldn’t kill at first sight.

After all, there are high-level strategists with nuclear weapon-grade experts stationed, having homes and businesses, nobody can bear unrestricted warfare and slaughter.

Just like Fahua Temple and Brahma Heaven Temple, though harboring deep vendettas wishing the other dead, they still discuss peacefully when met, not even reaching the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Of course, if there’s a chance to destroy the opponent’s decisive force all at once, and capture their power entirely, then there would be no mercy.

Just like the Southern Border Black Fish and the Black Water Profound Snake, both perished in a single battle, and their bases—the Great Abyss Marsh and Black Water Plain—also turned into ruins.

"After today’s affairs, I’ll personally go to the Great Joyful Temple." Si Lingxi said.

"No need." Lu Zheng shook his head.

Si Lingxi replied, "The Great Joyful Zen Temple is in the Southern Border, the Great Joyful Temple must respect me."

Si Lingxi made it clear that if the Great Joyful Temple dares to act up again, she would eliminate the Great Joyful Temple’s branch in the Southern Border.

Although the Great Joyful Zen Temple separated from the Great Joyful Temple years ago to stand in the Southern Border, the two have always secretly been in contact.

This connection might fool others but will never fool Si Lingxi.

"Alright!" Lu Zheng nodded.

Talking casually, the two flew speedily and had returned to the Earth Realm of Yizhou.

"Hmm?" Si Lingxi’s eyes flashed.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Not Great Joyful Temple monks."

Si Lingxi said in a firm voice, "They’re monks from Brahma Heaven Temple!"

"Brahma Heaven Temple?"

Lu Zheng looked confused, "Why would it be Brahma Heaven Temple?"

"Why not ask directly?" Si Lingxi said calmly, "Hmm, maybe no need, they’ve already set up at home."

Lu Zheng’s eyes hardened, he asked Si Lingxi, "What’s the enemy’s strength?"

"Two of them aren’t as strong as you, but the last one has substantial Dao Practice." Si Lingxi replied.

Lu Zheng blinked, "Can you keep them at home?"

Si Lingxi shot Lu Zheng a glance, then Lu Zheng understood, "Then let’s go home and wait for them."

Si Lingxi nodded and then restrained her aura, standing beside Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng raised his brow slightly, smiling faintly, then descended from the clouds and landed back home.

...

A moment later.

"They’re here." Si Lingxi said calmly.

In an instant, Uncle Li and Aunt Liu who were working in the courtyard fell into a deep sleep, and the entire Lu Residence was isolated by Buddhist Dharma.

Simultaneously, three monks appeared in Lu Zheng’s courtyard.

The monks were confident, ignoring Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying outside, and immediately surrounded Lu Zheng.

"It’s you!"

Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed, recognizing the monk standing on the far left.

"Amitabha Buddha, it is indeed me."

The monk clasped his hands in greeting, "I’m Qi Kun of Brahma Heaven Temple, meeting Donor Lu."

Master Qi Kun was the High Monk from Brahma Heaven Temple who recently came to witness the magical combat between Master Dahuo and Zen Master Huiejue.

"Seeing Donor Lu calm and composed, indeed, deep Dao Practice and extraordinary poise, I truly admire."

"Also, I’m Du Mo from Brahma Heaven Temple, greetings Donor Lu."

The rightmost monk also clasped his hands in greeting, smilingly introducing himself, and then gestured to introduce the last monk, "This is our temple’s Great Elder, Master Tucha."

The middle monk was a stern-looking, dignified middle-aged monk, who completely disregarded Si Lingxi beside Lu Zheng, merely looking at Lu Zheng, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

Lu Zheng nodded, "May I know why the esteemed monks have come..."

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Master Tucha chanted a Buddhahood, interrupting Lu Zheng’s inquiry, then asked calmly, "Donor Lu, is it true that our temple’s Master Qiu Yan and Master Qi Zhi died because of you?"
