Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 966: The Evil Buddha Sect Is the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect

"Hongyun, it has been over a hundred thousand years since we, master and disciple, last saw each other, has it not?"

The monk clad in red robes regarded the visibly excited Master Hongyun, a hint of emotion surfacing in his words.

"Yes, Master!"

A profound sorrow welled up within Master Hongyun, his expression turning mournful as he responded.

"Cease your tears. I understand that journeying to the Divine Land was not an easy feat for you..."

The red-robed monk offered a sigh.

"Master, it was far more than just 'not easy.' Your disciple was nearly slain by someone; had I not shrewdly revealed your esteemed identity, I would likely be no more!"

Master Hongyun recounted, a bitter smile gracing his lips.

"What exactly transpired?"

The red-robed monk's countenance abruptly shifted to one of grave solemnity.

"Master, on the Cangnan Continent, I encountered a second-generation heir from the Divine Land, possessing a cultivation base within the Divine Monarch Realm. He came perilously close to ending my life, but fortunately, my timely mention of you secured my survival!"

Master Hongyun exclaimed, tears welling anew.

"A mere Divine Monarch Realm, and so what?"

The red-robed monk scoffed, an icy glint igniting in his eyes.

"Master, his cultivation base is truly unremarkable; perhaps his lineage possesses some ancient heritage, leading to such arrogant behavior..."

Master Hongyun grumbled indignantly.

"This second-generation heir you speak of must have water in his brain, correct? How dare he venture into a place as perilous as the Cangnan Continent? Does he have no desire to continue his cultivation journey?"

The red-robed monk narrowed his eyes slightly, inquiring with an air of indifference.

"I also remain unaware of his motivations, that he shows no fear of the curse..."

Master Hongyun mused for a moment, shaking his head in perplexity.

"Disciple, harbor no fear; his heritage pales in comparison to ours!"

The red-robed monk sneered, his confidence unwavering.

"Master, I confess I've never heard of the Evil Buddha Sect in the Divine Land – do we operate under a different name here?"

Master Hongyun posed his query.

"Indeed. In truth, our sect is known as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect, a rather low-key entity within the Land of Thousands of Buddhas. However, within our ranks, we boast numerous experts at the Divine King Realm, whose strength rivals that of supreme forces like the Jade Buddha Sect!"

The red-robed monk declared with an expression of distinct pride.

"Master, our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect... is truly this formidable?"

A look of immense surprise washed over Master Hongyun's face.

He had initially surmised his Master commanded no more than first-class influence, yet he hadn't anticipated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect's power to be on par with colossal Buddhist sects such as the Jade Buddha Sect.

"Naturally..."

The red-robed monk stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the fathomless void, his profound gaze emanating an aura of immense power.

Master Hongyun's eyes sparkled with renewed hope, envisioning eventual retribution.

"Master, what level of the Divine Monarch Realm has your cultivation base reached now?"

Master Hongyun, his thoughts turning to Ye Yun, inquired swiftly.

"Divine Monarch Realm, tenth layer! Yet, my true strength allows me to contend with practitioners at the half-step Divine Sovereign Realm!"

The red-robed monk responded with supreme self-assurance.

"Master, you are incredibly powerful, haha... That Ye Chen is surely finished!"

Master Hongyun erupted in laughter, springing to his feet and assuming an obedient posture beside the red-robed monk.

"You mentioned his name as Ye Chen, correct? Has he arrived in Jade Buddha City?"

The red-robed monk inquired.

"Master, I arrived in Jade Buddha City with him; we parted ways not too long ago. Allow me to escort you to find him!"

Master Hongyun declared with a flourish of gallantry and confidence, patting his chest.

"There is no need to seek him out."

A composed voice suddenly emanated from the corner of the street.

Ye Yun appeared, strolling leisurely with his hands behind his back, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He had merely been taking a stroll along the vibrant main thoroughfare and had not proceeded far before noticing the master and disciple duo in the secluded alleyway.

Even without overhearing their conversation, Ye Yun could readily surmise, with effortless deduction, that the red-robed monk was undoubtedly Master Hongyun's mentor.

"Ye Chen, have you been tailing me this entire time?"

Master Hongyun demanded indignantly.

"Why would I bother following a mere True God like you?"

Ye Yun rolled his eyes, retorting with irritation: "I was simply seeking some fresh air and did not anticipate encountering you just by casually walking about!"

"Haha... Your timing is impeccable. My master is here. Did you not wish to vanquish him?"

Master Hongyun clenched his fist, a cold laugh escaping him.

"Hongyun, you are mistaken, are you not? Is he not the partner of the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman?"

Observing the somewhat familiar countenance, the red-robed monk's brow furrowed slightly.

The recent commotion involving the Saintess of the Buddha Shrine had garnered widespread attention throughout Jade Buddha City.

He, too, was aware of the incident.

"Master, isn't it true that our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect possesses immense strength? Can it be that we still harbor fear towards their Divine Shrine Saintess?" Master Hongyun inquired in a hushed tone.

"Indeed, our strength is considerable, however..." The monk clad in red garments paused, a hint of hesitation in his speech.

"There is no need for 'howevers'; this Ye Chen belongs to us now!" Suddenly, two formidable figures materialized, appearing from opposite ends of the secluded alley.

These were none other than the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and the Happy Buddha Ancestor. The red-robed monk directed a sharp gaze towards the two powerhouses of the Divine King Realm, his expression grave. "May I inquire about the intentions of you two esteemed Divine King Realm seniors?"

"No particular intentions... You little monk, cease your excessive chatter and depart swiftly!" The Happy Buddha Ancestor gestured dismissively, his impatience evident.

A shade of deep azure spread across the red-robed monk's countenance. After a brief contemplation of several seconds, he suddenly produced an ancient token from his person. "Do you two seniors recognize this artifact?" he asked, his voice laced with indifference.

"The token of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect?" Upon witnessing the artifact, the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor was overcome with considerable shock. The Happy Buddha Ancestor, too, found himself momentarily stunned.

It turned out that this seemingly unremarkable, red-robed monk hailed from the formidable Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect. As experts of the Divine King Realm, possessing lifespans stretching over many years, they were naturally aware of the origins and might of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect. It was established as a legacy by the revered Dragon Tree Buddha, an entity of immense power, though its presence was seldomly felt in the world.

"Our Dragon Court Buddha Child is presently within Jade Buddha City. I would strongly advise you two not to meddle in the affairs of our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect!" the red-robed monk declared, his tone chillingly cold.

"This..." The visage of the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor contorted, adopting an unsightly expression. He felt as though a prize, nearly within his grasp, was now slipping away and likely to escape.

Observing from the sidelines, Ye Yun experienced a surge of mingled surprise and delight. He had not anticipated that the notorious Evil Buddha Sect was, in fact, the enigmatic Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect. This sect was a legacy passed down from the singular Purple Buddha of the Divine Land. What a truly intriguing revelation this was.

"You, the monk in red, allow me to ask you directly: Is the Evil Buddha Sect from Cangnan indeed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect of the Divine Land?" Ye Yun suddenly inquired, shattering the profound silence that had settled over the alley.

"That is correct!" The red-robed monk lifted the token higher, his bearing now radiating an undeniable pride. With the profound might of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect and its numerous Divine King Realm experts, how could they possibly entertain any fear of the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and the Happy Buddha Ancestor?

"Let us depart!" The Buddha Flame Old Ancestor cast a sideways glance at the Happy Buddha Ancestor, emitting a resigned sigh. "This..." The Happy Buddha Ancestor exhibited a flicker of hesitation, before pointing a finger towards Ye Yun. "This matter has exceeded our current capabilities; we must concede and abandon it..." the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor murmured, his voice laden with regret.

Having uttered these words, he abruptly vanished from sight. The Happy Buddha Ancestor remained rooted to the spot for several moments, before finally clenching his jaw, stomping his foot in frustration, and then he too disappeared.

Throughout the entirety of the alleyway, only Ye Yun, Master Hongyun, and the red-robed monk remained. "Ye Chen, uphold your promise and engage my master in a duel!" Master Hongyun demanded with fierce intensity.

"I naturally uphold my word! Allow your master to face me, so that I may comprehend the true strength of your Evil Buddha Sect... Ah, no, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect!" Ye Yun retorted with a sneer.
