Chapter 1402 - 1401: Informing the White Cloud Temple

If it's about making a move, naturally Si Lingxi has a harder time; but when it comes to celebrating, Lu Zheng truly works harder than Si Lingxi.

Especially during the group celebrations, Lu Zheng becomes even more exhausted.

Although Lin Wan isn't here, her combat prowess is too weak; her presence or absence doesn't make much difference.

First singles, then doubles...

Thus, the next day, when Xiaocui saw Lu Zheng's faltering steps as he walked out of Shen Ying's master bedroom, she couldn't help but express a bit of concern, "Young Master, your complexion looks a bit... Oh, better now?"

The Light of Fortune consumed, instantly restoring his vigor.

Lu Zheng straightened his back and asked calmly, "What did you just say?"

"Nothing, nothing," Xiaocui said timidly, "I was wondering if you would like some breakfast?"

"...Yes!"

As Xiaocui brought breakfast, she saw Lu Zheng already sitting and chatting in the main hall with Si Lingxi and the three women.

"So, that monk Fansa, you just let him go back?" Shen Ying asked.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Struck by Yuan Ya Old Demon with Devouring God Magic, his Divine Soul's Sea of Consciousness was gravely injured; not to mention ascension is hopeless, his lifespan is estimated to be less than half a year."

"Three months."

Si Lingxi said lightly, "Even if Great Brahma Heaven Temple has spirit medicine that revives the dead and regrows flesh over bones, he won't survive past three months."

"We wanted to kill Yuan Ya Old Demon, but had no time to intercept Monk Fansa."

Lu Zheng explained, "Considering he helped us drain Yuan Ya Old Demon, let him return to Great Brahma Heaven Temple to live another three months.

In this way, Great Brahma Heaven Temple loses two of its top experts, suffers severe mid-tier loss, and their position as the leading Buddhist Sect of Western Buddha Country becomes uncertain."

Liu Qingyan stated, "Surely they won't come to the Central Plains to trouble us now."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Precisely."

...

After breakfast, Liu Qingyan returned to Renxin Hall for consultations; Lu Zheng took Si Lingxi and Shen Ying through Hai City before returning alone and then flew directly to White Cloud Mountain.

"What?"

Master Mingyu was astonished, "Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable is dead too?"

"Indeed."

Lu Zheng nodded, "The currently known Fallen Celestial Demon is just one Profound Profound Demon Lord left."

Master Mingyu, "..."

As the Temple Master of Lu Zheng's sect, Master Mingyu knows quite a few details.

But the more he knows, the more shocked he becomes!

Sure, Si Lingxi is powerful!

But Si Lingxi, as powerful as she is, is just one of the top giants, not an indomitable force sweeping across the world.

Let alone the Daoist and Buddhist Sects of Central Plains' Ling Kunzi and Zen Master Dejie, even in Southern Border, there are peerless masters not inferior to Si Lingxi.

Hence, if it's said that Si Lingxi accidentally killed one Fallen Celestial Demon, it might be understandable; but for the death of four Fallen Celestial Demons to be related to her, it's far beyond mere coincidence.

This is the child of Fortune!

This is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth!

This is the one favored by the world!

What is even more thrilling is that Si Lingxi's husband is our White Cloud Temple's Outer Sect disci...

No, he's the direct lineage of our sect's founder!

In other words, Si Lingxi is the daughter-in-law of our White Cloud Temple!

From back then when True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao descended to the Lower Realm, there were only five Fallen Celestial Demons; now, Profound Profound Demon Lord could very well be the last Celestial Demon descending this time.

In this case, this Demon Tribulation is destined to be dissolved by Si Lingxi.

This is decreed by the Heavenly Dao!

And if White Cloud Temple can provide assistance to Si Lingxi during actions, it will surely receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao.

Lu Zheng, as the direct lineage of White Cloud Temple's ancestor and Si Lingxi's Taoist companion, will surely share some benefits with White Cloud Temple; but who would mind having more benefits?

Master Mingyu sits atop, his eyes blazing as he stares at Lu Zheng, making Lu Zheng somewhat self-conscious.

"Yuan Zheng!"

Master Mingyu said, "Rest assured, White Cloud Temple will notify Chixiao Temple and Celestial Sword Mountain through formal sect correspondence, and the three will jointly endeavor to uncover Profound Profound Demon Lord from Linxi Dao!

At that time, I'll notify Sect Leader Si, invite her to join the siege against the Demon, and send that old fiend's True Spirit back to the Demon Realm!

Don't worry, I'll have the Ancestor personally intervene, ensuring that no matter how fierce Profound Profound Demon Lord is, Sect Leader Si will remain unharmed."

Lu Zheng: ???

Although Lu Zheng isn't sure why Master Mingyu is so enthusiastic, it's surely good news.

Formal sect correspondence, such as the White Cloud Dao Scripture, is very official inter-sect communication.

Also, why call Si Lingxi in the end?

If you guys could handle him yourselves, that's perfectly fine; my Light of Fortune is sufficiently charged for the time being.

"Thank you, Temple Master," Lu Zheng bowed appreciatively.

"It's a small matter," Master Mingyu waved it off carelessly, "If you have doubts regarding the 'Cloud Qi Scripture,' you may visit the back mountain to inquire with the Ancestor."

"Understood!"

Lu Zheng bowed and then encountered Daoist Mingzhang in the scripture hall, leading some Yuan Generation and younger Hong Generation disciples while reciting the 'White Cloud Pure Scripture.'

Daoist Mingzhang was leading, so Lu Zheng dared not interrupt until the recitation concluded and Daoist Mingzhang stepped outside, where Lu Zheng greeted him.

"Master!"

Daoist Mingzhang nodded, smacked his lips, and then took Lu Zheng back to his own courtyard.

"Master, why have you taken the role of leading in the scripture hall?" Lu Zheng chuckled.

Daoist Mingzhang blinked and said, "I don't know either; ever since you returned to the mountain the spring before last, the Temple Master has been assigning me to lead recitations in the scripture hall every three days."

Lu Zheng, "..."

"Well then, I've brought some good wine and a few cans of spirit tea for Master."

Lu Zheng swiftly changed the topic and took out wine jars and tea cans from the gourd.

"The wine is Wuliangye, infused with ginseng whiskers and reishi umbrellas; there are three types of tea, all produced from thousand-year-old tea trees in the earth realm of Southern Border Phoenix Mountain."

Daoist Mingzhang nodded with satisfaction, couldn't help but sigh, "You truly are dutiful; I wonder when I can go down the..."

"Cough, cough!"

Daoist Mingzhang coughed lightly, "Recently, I've been reciting scriptures more, gaining insights during calm cultivation, losing sense of time, and am not inclined to venture down the mountain, so keep an eye on Yuan Jing."

Lu Zheng nodded earnestly, "Rest assured, Master, not only me, but Uncle Master Yue Chen also resides permanently on Shaotong Mountain, it's not an issue."

"Is Uncle Master Yue Chen residing on Shaotong Mountain, why didn't I know?" Daoist Mingzhang asked.

"Eh?"

Lu Zheng blinked, "Wasn't last year's New Spring, when Senior Brother Yuan Jing returned to the mountain, to invite reinforcements, didn't he tell you?"

Daoist Mingzhang squinted his eyes as he sipped a cup of wine, "Yuan Jing is now the Temple Master of White Cloud Sub-temple on Shaotong Mountain, so naturally doesn't need to inform me of everything."

Lu Zheng touched his nose, feeling something was amiss.

Thus, after visiting Dongyangzi, and preparing to leave White Cloud Mountain the next day, he received Daoist Mingzhang's admonition.

"It's been a long while since I've seen Yuan Jing; notify him to return to White Cloud Mountain for this year's New Year; I'll test him and see if he's made any progress lately."
