Chapter 1474: Chapter 618: Unexpected Guest, Buddhist Sect’s Schemes
“It seems ‘Celestial Net Island’ is becoming nervous, stepping up its checks!”
Upon hearing of the big inspection, Li Yunjing’s muscles suddenly tensed.
“Hmph! Miss Han, aren’t you going too far now?”
When the clerks couldn’t hold it any longer, the shopkeeper of “Ocean Sky Pavilion” finally stepped forward.
In Li Yunjing’s shocked gaze, he saw a familiar face!
Xie Wuyi!
How did this guy end up in the ‘Celestial Net Sea Region’ and become the shopkeeper of “Ocean Sky Pavilion”?
Moreover, his cultivation had already surpassed to the Golden Core Realm!
This person once contended with him, leaving a very deep impression on Li Yunjing!
This man claimed to be the number one under the Golden Core Realm in the East Sea!
Certainly not a person of idle reputation!
His appearance genuinely piqued Li Yunjing’s curiosity.
Li Yunjing quickly concealed his aura and quietly observed.
Xie Wuyi donned a cyan robe, with that iconic “Soul-devouring Sword” hanging at his waist, displaying a few traits of a shopkeeper’s smooth worldly tactics.
“Fairy Han!”
Xie Wuyi cheerfully cupped his hands, “We at ‘Ocean Sky Pavilion’ run an honest business, our monthly tributes never lacking, why the need for such commotion?”
“Shopkeeper Xie, recently a wanted criminal has infiltrated the island, all shops must undergo inspection!”
Fairy Han snorted coldly, lowering her voice, “I’ve heard… it’s someone from ‘Shenxiao Dao Sect’.”
Li Yunjing’s heart tensed, yet he saw Xie Wuyi suddenly burst into laughter: “Fairy Han jests, how could my humble shop dare to harbor fugitives? But since there must be a check—”
He sidestepped to clear the path, “Please, go ahead.”
Fairy Han’s expression was stern, with a wave of her jade hand, over ten disciples of the “Celestial Net Dao Sect” dispersed, checking room by room.
Before long, knocking resounded at Li Yunjing’s door.
“Who is it!”
Li Yunjing asked irritably.
“‘Celestial Net Dao Sect’ official duty, inspection! Open the door quickly!”
The “Celestial Net Dao Sect” disciple outside the door didn’t hold back, shouting fiercely.
“Opening the door right away!”
Li Yunjing sighed as he opened the door, two Foundation Establishment Realm disciples from the “Celestial Net Dao Sect” barged in without another word, pushing past him into his room.
The two disciples rudely rummaged through boxes and cupboards, even flipping the bed for inspection.
Suddenly, one of them stared at the “Boundary-Breaking Sword” on the table, squinting: “This sword…”
“It’s merely an ordinary Spiritual Artifact.”
Li Yunjing timely handed over a small cloth bag, “You two have worked hard, this is just a token…”
The disciple weighed the bag, his expression slightly eased.
As he was about to leave, the other suddenly pressed on a certain part of the wall: “Wait! Why is this wall brick…”
Cold sweat instantly seeped from Li Yunjing’s back.
That was precisely where he modified the “Spirit Gathering Array!”
At that critical juncture, Fairy Han’s sharp shout suddenly echoed from downstairs: “Everyone gather immediately! Suspicious traces found!”
The two disciples hurriedly left upon hearing.
Li Yunjing had just exhaled a sigh of relief, when he heard sounds of magical combat erupting on the street.
Pasting himself close to the window crevice, he looked out to see the street center rise with a hundred-zhang Buddha Light, unexpectedly appearing were people from the Buddhist Sect.
A middle-aged man with a rough cloth and bald head facing “Celestial Net Dao Sect,” actually slashed and killed four people consecutively, fleeing toward the outside.
“When did ‘Celestial Net Island’ become a haven for hiding rats? Even Buddhist Sect bald thieves appear here!”
Fairy Han stepped on flowing clouds to the scene, wielding a jade ruler releasing countless rays, blocking the bald-headed man’s retreat, “Speak your origins, I can spare you…”
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Before the words finished, the bald-head’s expression turned ugly as he faintly recited a Buddhist chant.
His entire body transformed into a Buddhist Golden Body, emitting intense Merit Golden Light.
The main purpose of Buddhist preaching is to contribute merits from believers.
Accumulated merits can condense into Merit Golden Light, forming a Merit Golden Body, free from karma.
Li Yunjing was utterly astonished, never expecting a mere Golden Core Realm monk to cultivate out Merit Golden Light.
It seemed this person truly was an enlightened High Monk!
Amid Fairy Han’s fierce battle with the Buddhist High Monk, Li Yunjing’s room door was suddenly gently knocked.
Xie Wuyi’s voice came from outside: “Sir, can we have a chat now?”
With a “clunk,” Li Yunjing’s heart was startled.
What did Xie Wuyi intend?
Why did he suddenly come to find him?
“Shopkeeper, may I know the matter at hand?”
Li Yunjing invited the other inside, curiously asking.
“Hehe!”
Xie Wuyi said nothing, merely sizing up Li Yunjing from top to bottom, his long eyes revealing a profound meaning.
“Am I exposed?”
Li Yunjing took a deep breath and coldly stared at him.
At that moment, the entire inn violently shook!
Outside the window came Fairy Han’s shrill scream: “Something’s wrong! This is the ‘Great Sun Tathagata Spell!’ Are you from ‘Golden Wheel Temple’?”
The words hadn’t fallen when blinding Buddha Light soared into the sky, illuminating the half of the street like daytime.
“By the East Sea, you won by luck back then.”
In the tremor, Xie Wuyi suddenly thrust forward, “Soul-devouring Sword” unsheathed against Li Yunjing’s throat, its blade reflecting his mockingly smiling visage: “Today at my ‘Ocean Sky Pavilion,’ I’m afraid your luck has run out.”
Before his words fell, nine golden Sanskrit characters suddenly shot out from the Buddha Light outside, enveloping the entire inn within a barrier.
Li Yunjing, back pressed against the wall, remained immobile.
“What exactly do you intend?”
Suppressing his murderous intent, he coldly said: “Your shop isn’t a black shop, is it?”
Xie Wuyi hadn’t spoken yet when Fairy Han’s angry roar echoed from downstairs: “‘Golden Wheel Temple’ truly has dastardly intentions! How dare you on Celestial Net Island…”
The tragic cry abruptly ended, replaced by the roaring clash of myriad Buddha Lights against Celestial Net Dao Sect magic.
