Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 967: Buddha Flame Old Ancestor Makes a Move

"Heh heh, the Dao companion of the Fallen Leaf Saintess is indeed arrogant! Do you believe no one in this Land of Thousands of Buddhas can handle you?"

A chilling laugh echoed from the monk in red robes.

He advanced, positioning himself opposite Ye Yun.

Across a gap of several dozen zhang, the red-robed monk narrowed his eyes, calmly appraising Ye Yun.

"You are merely at the Divine Monarch Realm Third Layer. With such a cultivation base, I could dispatch you with a single finger!"

The monk in red stated frigidly.

A mocking sense of superiority flickered in his gaze.

"Kill me? You are quite audacious! Are you suggesting your Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect dares to provoke the Holy Buddha Sect?"

Ye Yun arched an eyebrow, posing the question with a smile.

He recalled the Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor once mentioning that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect was a lineage descended from the Dragon Tree Buddha, exceptionally enigmatic and rarely encountered in the mortal realm.

Furthermore, the Evil Buddha Sect on the Cangnan Continent traced its origins back to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect.

If he intended to eradicate this sect, his confrontation would extend beyond the red-robed monk before him.

He would also need to contend with the immense power backing that sect.

To stand against the Holy Buddha Sect, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect must surely house numerous Divine King Realm experts within its ranks.

Such thoughts piqued Ye Yun's interest.

"The Fallen Leaf Saintess must be utterly blind to have taken notice of you!"

After a comprehensive assessment, the red-robed monk sneered.

"Why don't you attempt it? See if she would readily consent to being your Dao companion?"

Ye Yun remained unperturbed by the taunt, instead erupting into hearty laughter.

"I am certainly unworthy... however, our Dragon Court Buddha Child, who is a seasoned Divine King Realm expert, would be a rather suitable match for the Fallen Leaf Saintess!"

The red-robed monk licked his lips, his eyes glinting with derision as he chuckled.

"Hmm, this Divine King Realm Dragon Court Buddha Child is indeed a figure of considerable substance..."

Ye Yun's gaze shifted, a thoughtful smile playing on his lips.

It appeared that for this Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty grand event, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect had sent representatives, and these individuals were not commoners, residing on a similar echelon as the Fallen Leaf Saintess.

"Master, this Ye Chen slew my disciple on the Cangnan Continent; you must seek retribution on my behalf!"

Master Hongyun gnashed his teeth in resentment nearby.

"Rest assured, he shall not elude us. We shall apprehend him first and then confine him!"

The red-robed monk declared coldly.

While projecting an air of ferocity, he recognized that Ye Chen was the Dao companion of the Fallen Leaf Saintess, and he lacked the direct authority to act against him.

His strategy was to capture Ye Chen initially and then hand him over to the Dragon Court Buddha Child for ultimate judgment.

"Very well, I shall entrust all matters to you, Master!"

Master Hongyun clasped his hands together, his head bowed in a gesture of profound respect.

Having heard his master's pronouncement, he grasped that his master's standing was ordinary, not a figure of significant influence within the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect.

To settle the score with Ye Chen, the intervention of the Dragon Court Buddha Child would indeed be necessary.

The prospect of aligning with such a formidable power as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect filled Master Hongyun with immense excitement, causing him to tremble slightly in eager anticipation.

Just as the red-robed monk and Ye Yun were poised for confrontation, ready to unleash their attacks.

The ground directly beneath the alley violently fractured, and a dragon-like radiant light erupted, instantly engulfing Ye Yun.

The velocity of this light was so extreme that even the red-robed monk was caught off guard, unable to react in time.

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes.

He could clearly perceive that the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor had made his move.

It seemed this individual had merely been posturing earlier.

Ye Yun offered no resistance.

He permitted the radiant light to envelop him, drawing him deep into the earth's depths.

The light dissipated, and Ye Yun vanished with it, the ground seamlessly returning to its prior state as though no event had transpired.

"Where did Ye Chen disappear to? Did the Fallen Leaf Saintess just intervene to rescue him?"

Master Hongyun scanned his surroundings with palpable anxiety.

If the Fallen Leaf Saintess had indeed facilitated his escape, recapturing him would present a considerably greater challenge.

"It was not the Fallen Leaf Saintess. It was likely the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor..."

The red-robed monk stated, his countenance rigid, as he gazed intently at the location where Ye Yun had vanished, following a brief period of silence.

"Does the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor truly possess the audacity to oppose our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect?"

Master Hongyun inquired, a frown creasing his brow.

"Openly, he would not dare, but who can fathom the stratagems he might be hatching in secret!"

The red-robed monk retorted with a cold snort.

"Master, what course of action should we now pursue?"

Master Hongyun asked, his tone laced with worry.

"Let us depart! Accompany me back, and we shall seek out the Dragon Court Buddha Child to resolve this matter!"

The red-robed monk grasped Master Hongyun’s sleeve, guiding him out of the alley.

"Master, have you ever encountered mention of Yinfuti?"

As they proceeded, Master Hongyun suddenly inquired.

"Yinfuti?"

The monk clad in red had a slight shift in his expression, querying with a hint of amusement, "Why the sudden interest in that?"

"Master, individuals from the Holy Buddha Sect claim this Ye Chen is a Yinfuti!"

Master Hongyun stated.

"Preposterous! How could a Yinfuti possibly exist in this world?"

The red-clothed monk's eyebrows rose as he spoke with utter disbelief.

"I've also heard whispers that the Jade Buddha Sect possesses a Yinfuti as well..."

Master Hongyun added.

"You tend to exaggerate..."

The monk in red shook his head, contemplating for a few moments before declaring, "Let us first relay this information to the Dragon Court Buddha Child and allow him to make the decision!"

"Understood, Master!"

Master Hongyun responded earnestly.

He finally grasped that his master, whom he regarded as immensely powerful, was merely a minor figure within the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect.

According to his master's account, numerous experts in the Divine King Realm constituted the backbone of their Sect.

"Master's standing, having journeyed from the Cangnan Continent to the Divine Land, must not be particularly high..."

Master Hongyun mused inwardly.

"Hongyun, I perceive your thoughts, and you are not mistaken. My position within the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect is indeed not elevated; after all, I originated from the Cangnan Continent..."

The red-clothed monk offered a faint smile, seemingly divining Master Hongyun's inner musings.

"Master..."

Master Hongyun felt a touch of awkwardness.

"It is quite alright. Our journey as teacher and disciple from that remote corner of the Cangnan Continent to the Divine Land was already arduous enough. However, by joining our Sect, it is as though we now have a mighty Banyan tree under which to find shelter..."

The monk in red let out a sigh.

"Master speaks the absolute truth..."

Master Hongyun clasped his hands, his expression solemn, and affirmed.

The duo emerged from the narrow alley.

"Master, where shall we find lodging?"

Master Hongyun inquired.

"Before my departure, I gathered that the Dragon Court Buddha Child had journeyed to the Qianya Immortal Residence. Let us proceed there to locate the Buddha Child!"

The red-clothed monk instructed.

"Qianya Immortal Residence? Is that not an outpost of the Holy Buddha Sect?"

Master Hongyun questioned, surprise evident in his voice.

"Indeed. I had heard that the Dragon Court Buddha Child went there to engage in a debate on Buddhist doctrines with the Fallen Leaf Saintess. It is anticipated we shall find him there..."

The monk in red replied nonchalantly.

Master Hongyun was momentarily stunned, releasing a prolonged exhale.

The experts of the Divine King Realm truly differed from these lesser individuals.

Concurrently, as the pair made their way towards the Qianya Immortal Residence, the luminous energy enveloping Ye Yun accelerated its passage through the subterranean depths, eventually coming to a halt.

The surrounding earth had long since been excavated, transforming into an expanse of void.

Two figures, emanating formidable auras, stood serenely within this void.

"Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, to dare abduct that Yinfuti right from under the watchful eyes of the Dragon Court Buddha Child and the Fallen Leaf Saintess of the Holy Buddha Sect—your audacity knows no bounds!"

The Happy Buddha Ancestor exclaimed, chuckling with his hands clasped behind his back.
