Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Only One Chance
Although the old monk was already trying to control his emotions.
He wished he could step aside immediately to handle these matters.
But the crowd below quickly noticed that something was wrong with the old monk.
“Master Wujue, is there a problem?”
“You don’t look well; are there fewer Buddhist Artifacts this time?”
“You must save one for me!”
“Master Wujue, I’m willing to pay double the price for the top-tier Buddhist Artifacts!”
“I’ll pay triple!”
…
Oh wow, the awareness of these ’leeks’ is unexpectedly high!
Even Master Wujue was a bit surprised, his white beard quivering.
This effect is unexpectedly good.
But upon careful thought, it’s understandable.
The current world is no longer the same as it once was.
The previous world was too peaceful.
The ’leeks’ didn’t face any consequences if they didn’t buy Buddhist Artifacts; whether they would sell depended entirely on the skill of brainwashing.
But now.
The world has become data-driven.
Monsters fly everywhere!
The pressure to survive has suddenly increased, especially for these wealthy people.
They fear death more than ordinary people!
Seeing monsters after datafication, they become more reliant on the power of Buddhism.
The survival bought with money is the most cost-effective!
Even though they don’t have Gold Coins now, these wealthy people are brimming with confidence.
They think, with their ability, earning Gold Coins is a piece of cake!
Being able to buy Buddhist Artifacts could increase their chances of survival!
Of course.
This is merely their wishful thinking, for Buddhist Artifacts are just for cutting leeks and provide no Attributes or Defense effects.
When they encounter monsters, even small ones, they are bound to die.
“Everyone, please calm down, there’s no problem; you can all buy Buddhist Artifacts. I will speed up arranging consecrations, and please believe that, as long as you follow the footsteps of our Great Buddha Temple, you can live long…” Master Wujue shouted to the crowd.
But before he could finish.
He was interrupted by a lazy voice.
“Cutting leeks is cutting leeks, but it’s my first time seeing leeks with such high awareness. I wonder where you found so many brainless folks.”
The speaker was Lu Ran!
Everyone looked up.
They found Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo standing lazily on the archway in front of the plaza.
“Cen Yunuo!” Master Wujue recognized Cen Yunuo at a glance.
At the same time, he glanced at Lu Ran beside Cen Yunuo.
Didn’t recognize him.
Totally didn’t recognize him, but that wasn’t important.
Cen Yunuo was the key.
Thus, Master Wujue directly ignored Lu Ran.
He chuckled and said, “Cen Yunuo, we’ve been looking for you for a long time, didn’t expect you’d deliver yourself to us. Now that Daluo Palace is gone, you are the only key person. Since you’re here, it’s perfect, stay with us.”
It’s clear Master Wujue seemed quite excited.
His eyes burning with greedy intent, watching Cen Yunuo made Lu Ran suspect the old monk’s purpose for capturing Cen Yunuo might not be that profound?
Could it be lusting after Cen Yunuo’s body?
But it was just Lu Ran’s speculation.
Although Cen Yunuo is very beautiful, there are plenty of beautiful women in this world, and Buddhism wouldn’t go to great lengths to seek a Daoist from Daluo Palace.
Wanting beauties, with this old monk’s brainwashing ability.
Wouldn’t that be easy to achieve?
Just among the crowd below, there are plenty of rich daughters, many of them pretty.
Brainwashing to this level, as long as the old monk beckons and says that dual cultivation with him would ensure Buddhist protection.
They’d flock ahead!
The queue could extend down the mountain!
Therefore.
It’s clear Great Buddha Temple has other purposes for capturing Cen Yunuo; it’s just that Lu Ran doesn’t know yet.
Cen Yunuo looked placidly at the old monk.
“The feud between Buddhism and Taoist Sect has lasted for a long time. Now that Daluo Palace has been destroyed by Buddhism, however, I’m not here to cause trouble for your Great Buddha Temple today, or rather, it’s not up to me. Whether you can last through today depends entirely on his decision.”
Then, she looked at Lu Ran beside her.
Oh?
The old monk looked at Lu Ran in confusion.
A bit puzzled and not comprehending Cen Yunuo’s words.
The crowd below was also watching Cen Yunuo and Lu Ran at this moment.
“Who are these two? Such audacity!”
“According to Master Wujue, this girl is a disciple of Daluo Palace?”
“What is that stinking Daoist doing here?”
“Isn’t it obvious? The Taoist Sect is nearly extinct and surely jealous of Buddhism’s prosperity.”
“Coming to provoke Great Buddha Temple is simply reckless!”
“Master Wujue, take care of them immediately!”
…
Lu Ran looked down at the crowd below.
Then he looked at the old monk again.
At this moment.
Master Wujue spoke again.
“Who might this benefactor be? Coming to our Great Buddha Temple, what is your intention? The feud between our Great Buddha Temple and Daluo Palace is not a place for outsiders to interfere. But, it doesn’t matter. If you wish to intervene, I’ll handle you as well. For an old monk like me, it’s nothing.” Master Wujue said confidently.
Lu Ran could sense that this old monk was very strong!
Or more precisely, his level was very high!
At least around level eighty or ninety, he counts as a BOSS!
In this Great Buddha Temple, he should be the highest-level BOSS.
“I’m not here to interfere in the feud between the Taoist Sect and Buddhism; my purpose is simple: to complete a mission, a simple mission—destroy the Great Buddha Temple, and today none of the monks present will survive.” Lu Ran said calmly.
“Such arrogance!” Master Wujue said coldly.
Then he slowly stood up.
He looked at Lu Ran disdainfully: “Young man, you probably don’t know what you’re talking about or what kind of existence you’re facing. I know you are also a Professional like Cen Yunuo, but nowadays, whether it’s a first-tier high combat Professional, an old monk like me doesn’t see them as a threat.”
In other words, he looked down on Lu Ran.
Thinking that any Professional coming now was a dead end.
Lu Ran scoffed.
He said, “I don’t want to waste words with you.”
Then.
Lu Ran looked at the crowd below.
And said, “I’m here today to settle with the Great Buddha Temple; you are just spectators. I don’t lack reverence for life, so I’m willing to give you a chance: one minute, only a minute. You can leave freely, or you can choose to stay here and die with these monks. After a minute, I’ll start a massacre. Remember, there’s only one chance, miss it, and there’s no more.”
And the result?
Was obvious.
The crowd instantly became agitated.
“Get lost, damn it, nowadays young people are so shameless!”
“Daring to boast in the Great Buddha Temple, simply reckless!”
“Is he a Professional? I thought Professionals had some ability and brains.”
“A shame for such a handsome guy, too bad he’s not very smart.”
…
To be honest.
Lu Ran was also a bit surprised.
He thought some people would be unwilling to get involved and would leave.
But in the end.
No one left?
No matter, Lu Ran couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.
Only a minute given, the opportunity was there, didn’t take it, then die!
No need for further discussion.
