Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The mountains shook, the sky above changed color with the wind and clouds, and thunder rumbled.

A torrential downpour accompanied by lightning struck the earth!!!

Li Guanqi, clad in a blood-red robe and wielding a sword, strode into the void.

His blood-red robe fluttered in the air, and his angry voice echoed through the clouds!!

"Demon Monk Xuanhui!!"

"Quickly meet your death!!"

These words immediately startled a crowd of worshippers!!

"Ah! Who is this person! How dare he slander Abbot Xuanhui like this!!"

"Bold! How can one utter such nonsense in a sacred Buddhist site!! This is a great taboo!! Amitabha… Amitabha…"

Li Guanqi's eyes were full of anger as he turned to look back; many figures instantly soared into the air.

Li Guanqi coldly snorted and raised his hand to summon lightning from above!

Boom!!!

"Immortal Spell · Three Celestial Gates!!"

Dong!!

Three colossal gates of thunder descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the entire Xuanyin Temple.

The mountains trembled, and a vast oppressive force filled the void.

Li Guanqi looked back down, and countless people gazed up in terror.

With a wave of his hand, Li Guanqi used his powerful spatial abilities to move everyone to the mountain peak where he had been last night.

Thousands of people were dragged by a powerful spatial force to the mountain peak thousands of feet away.

As he did these things, none of the monks offered any resistance.

After all, Li Guanqi's actions were to prevent mortals from being injured.

"Huff…"

After moving everyone away, Li Guanqi gently exhaled.

He turned his head to look at the monks in the temple, his gaze fixed on the direction of the back mountain as he coldly said.

"Xuanhui!! Come out and meet your death!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large monk wielding a Zen staff abruptly stepped forward!!

The large monk was burly, his powerful arms as thick as a normal person's thighs.

The veins on his hand gripping the Zen staff bulged, and immortal essence surged.

In the distant Hall of Heavenly Kings, a golden Buddha statue seemed to faintly emit a Buddha light, echoing him from afar.

"Bold!!"

"This is a sacred Buddhist site, what do you intend to do? Start a massacre?!"

Dong!!

The Zen staff slammed into the ground, and the man's face turned angry as he glared at Li Guanqi like an angry Vajra.

Rings of golden light spread out from beneath the man's feet!!

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed slightly as he stood before the Great Hero Hall and coldly said.

"If I really wanted to start a massacre, this place in front of the Great Hero Hall would already be a river of blood!!"

Li Guanqi stood in the golden light, allowing the rings of golden light to wash over him.

But he remained as firm as a mountain, not taking a single step back!

Li Guanqi looked around and discovered that, apart from Xuanhui, the only one in the entire Xuanyin Temple with a higher cultivation level was the large monk in front of him, a Third Stage True Immortal.

The twenty or so monks beside him were all in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

But even though they all knew that Li Guanqi's cultivation was far stronger than theirs, they showed no signs of backing down.

They all clenched their fists, adopted a fighting stance, and faced away from the Great Hero Hall with stern expressions.

At the same time, in a misty bamboo forest dozens of miles away from Xuanyin Temple.

There was another inconspicuous small temple, its signboard worn with age, but one could still vaguely make out the words on it.

'Lapis Lazuli Temple!'

A young novice monk who appeared to be only seven or eight years old was sweeping fallen leaves while wearing a blue robe.

The sound of a wooden fish being struck in the nearby wooden meditation room paused slightly, followed by an old sigh.

The young novice monk stopped holding the broom that was taller than him and tilted his head to look at the meditation room.

"Master, what's wrong?"

An old man wearing a simple monk's robe slowly got up and walked out of the meditation room.

The old man had a ruddy complexion, and his every move exuded an extraordinary and refined aura.

The old man with white hair and beard looked at the young novice monk and smiled, gently turning his prayer beads.

The old man with slightly gaunt cheeks slowly raised his eyes.

His eyes under his long eyebrows glittered with shrewdness.

He turned over the dried vegetables that were drying on the cabinet, put them into a cloth bag, and handed it to the young novice monk.

"It's going to rain, put it away."

The young novice monk quickly ran to the side with his broom, put the broom back in its place, and took the cloth bag.

"Master, it's so late, and it's going to rain, are you going out?"

The old monk smiled and patted the young novice monk's shoulder, and said softly.

"Yes, Master has to go out for a while, remember to eat by yourself."

"After eating, go to the meditation room to transcribe scriptures and meditate, understand?"

The young novice monk put his hands together and bowed.

"Understood, Master."

"Should I save some food for you?"

The old man nodded, and then raised his foot to walk out of the temple.

He had only taken two steps when the fair-skinned young novice monk ran over with an oil-paper umbrella.

"Master, take the umbrella."

The old man's eyes were full of love when he looked at the young novice monk.

"Okay, okay, slow down."

Holding the oil-paper umbrella, the old man turned his head and waved to the young novice monk.

"Go back, go back."

After the young novice monk returned to the temple, the old man looked at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and smiled.

His hands were slightly lowered, he didn't turn his head, and his lips parted slightly.

"Protect!"

In an instant, unremarkable stone carvings in all directions of the temple flashed with two rays of light.

The old man took a step, which was hundreds of feet away.

He pinched his fingers in his sleeve to calculate, and frowned slightly.

At the same time.

The atmosphere in Xuanyin Temple was extremely tense, with swords drawn and bows bent.

"I respect you as a true Buddhist monk, and I won't attack."

"But I also advise you to step aside and let Xuanhui come out to see me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several monks stepped forward, glared at Li Guanqi, and shouted in a low voice.

"Presumptuous!"

"How can you slander my Xuanyin Temple's abbot and spout nonsense here!!"

"There are so many worshippers in the temple, how dare you slander the abbot as a demon monk in front of everyone!"

"Hmph! Everyone, follow me to capture this villain with ulterior motives!!!"

Suddenly!

The large monk holding the Zen staff raised his hand slightly to stop everyone.

"Wait!!"

However, at this time, Monk Dingshan noticed something was wrong.

He didn't know if Li Guanqi was a bad person, but he knew that Li Guanqi had entered Xuanyin Temple, passed through the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and entered the Great Hero Hall!

And hadn't shown any abnormalities...

It should be known that Xuanyin Temple possesses a considerable number of Buddhist magical artifacts.

If Li Guanqi was truly a great villain, he would have shown some abnormalities long ago.

Moreover, the other party transferred the civilians, and Xuanhui hasn't even come forward even now...

From the direction of the meditation room, many worshippers living in the temple have appeared.

These people are the so-called 'laymen' who come to the mountain to cultivate and seek peace of mind.

Some people develop inner demons after cultivating and find it difficult to calm down.

They give some incense money on the mountain, live in the temple, and eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day to calm their hearts.

"Supervisor Dingshan, what's going on?"

Li Guanqi was immediately surprised when he heard this, the man in front of him was actually the supervisor?

"As a supervisor, he doesn't know anything?"

Li Guanqi, relying on the power of the Three Celestial Gates, instantly sensed that two monks were trying to escape!!

With a cold snort, he gently waved his right hand, and the Blood Nether Sword in his hand instantly shot out!!!

"Ah, ah, ah!"

The sword pierced through the shoulders of the two people, stringing them together and bringing them to the front of the Great Hero Hall!!

Thunder spread beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire Xuanyin Temple!!

"Today, let's make everything clear."

"No one can leave."
