Master Chao Ling then continued, "To be honest, just a moment ago, Jinshan Temple has already fallen."

"Right and wrong, discussing them at this moment is futile."

"What I mean to say is, him!"

Master Chao Ling pointed to Lin Heng beside him, staring fiercely at the old folks in the ancestral land, "If in the future, any of you, with hidden power, dares to disregard the rules and attempt to besiege this young friend of mine!"

"Then my Wudang Mountain, no, our entire Daoist Sect."

"Will certainly, just like today, even if it means using up all our foundation, even if it's to the death, we will peel a layer off your Buddhist Sect!"

"Jinshan Temple has already served as a cautionary example, I hope all of you know your limits, otherwise, none of you shall live!"

Every word from Master Chao Ling at this moment was forceful and resounding.

The words echoed throughout Lingyin Temple, leaving all the monks in shock, unable to believe.

"Jinshan Temple is gone?"

"Jinshan Temple is really... gone?"

Outside the Buddhist Hall, a group of senior monks stood in a daze, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

Although the foundation of Jinshan Temple was not as deep as that of Lingyin Temple.

During the era when Fa Hai emerged, it was glorious for a time, its momentum even temporarily overshadowing Lingyin Temple.

Yet who could have thought, just eight hundred short years after Fa Hai's ascension, this Saint Sect would become nothing more than a speck of historical dust?

This was too unbelievable, making it hard to accept for a moment.

Of course, compared to the sentiments of the monks over the fall of Jinshan Temple.

Those in the ancestral land were much more concerned with the last words of Master Chao Ling.

"Otherwise, none of you shall live!"

These five short words carried a weight as if the sky was falling, leaving the existences in the ancestral land silent.

After a long while, a voice finally emerged.

"Our Lingyin Temple promises that as long as this young friend does not offend us, we will not come down the mountain to trouble you."

Ah?

The Dust Concealment outside the Buddhist Hall, upon hearing the response from his own grandmaster, instantly showed a look of despair.

He was indignant in his heart but dared not speak out.

That Daoist from Qingfeng Temple now had the strength of the Immortal Platform, and if his grandmaster did not come down the mountain, then he could forget about avenging the relocation of Lingyin Temple in this lifetime!

Moreover, the most crucial point is that Lingyin Temple's treasure, the Great Sun Subduing Dragon Pestle, was also stolen by the other party.

"Do we really have to endure this?"

Dust Concealment clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, blood seeping out, yet he was oblivious.

The strong feeling of unwillingness was detected by Master Chao Ling and the others, Master Lian Zhou, known for his fiery temper, was about to make a move against Dust Concealment outside the Buddhist Hall.

But Lin Heng shook his head and said, "Seniors, there's no need to take action. He's long since ceased to be my opponent and will not be in the future."

"If he dares to come again another day, I will naturally slay him."

Lin Heng knew that the three Masters came this time primarily to intimidate the Buddhist Sect's foundation.

Engaging in a real battle here.

Would be of no benefit to either side.

Since the opponent's foundation had already shown submission, there was no need for them to press on aggressively.

As for Dust Concealment, no matter what, he was the abbot of this generation of Lingyin Temple, truly killing him here would only leave the Buddhist Sect's foundation in an embarrassing position.

"True."

Master Lian Zhou nodded with a smile, the strength of this young man before them had already been displayed during the battle at Jinshan Temple, it was above their own!

Only due to the great battle and severe injuries did he appear slightly defeated.

The priority was to let him heal well and restore his condition to its peak.

By that time, not to mention that venomous abbot, even if one or two foundation-level figures came, they dared not hope to gain any advantage from this young friend!

After Lingyin Temple made its promise, Master Chao Ling retracted his released aura, nodded, and said:

"Since it's so, I'm finished here, farewell!"

The existences within the ancestral land breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.

As the Daoist group departed.

Lingyin Temple returned to its quiet state.

However, traces of dejection were visible on every monk's face.

For no other reason.

The demeanor of their own grandmaster just now was exceedingly humble, which caused a sense of unspoken indignation among the always proud disciples of the Saint Sect.

The existences within the ancestral land ignored this, caring not.

For them, a temporary concession that avoided them being forced to intervene was nothing to be ashamed of.

On the contrary.

Those few from Wudang Mountain were already at the brink of death.

There's no need to do anything; they also wouldn't survive much longer.

Bickering with these doomed individuals is the epitome of folly.

...

"Three seniors, are we going to Little Sumeru Mountain now?"

After leaving Lingyin Temple, Lin Heng curiously inquired.

"Little Sumeru Mountain?"

He had not expected the three of them to shake their heads in unison upon hearing this name.

Master Lian Zhou replied with a bitter smile, "Little Sumeru Mountain is truly not a place we can go."

Lin Heng was slightly astonished.

Master Gui Xu explained, "We can warn Lingyin Temple because only their foundation level can contend with us; they don't want to engage in a reckless fight with us, the dying, thus they conceded."

"Little Sumeru Mountain, however, is different."

"It is undoubtedly the head of the Saint Sect within the Buddhist Sect, housing countless strong individuals, even living beings above the Immortal Platform Realm exist there."

"Just the few of us are not enough to pose any threat to them."

Master Chao Ling supplemented, "Moreover, Little Sumeru Mountain doesn't reveal itself to the world, their Inner Heaven and Earth location, it's said, not even the monks of Lingyin Temple or Jinshan Temple know."

"Even if we wanted to go, we wouldn't know where to go."

The three exhibited a hint of self-deprecation, and from their tone, it was clear that even for foundation-level existences, Little Sumeru Mountain was daunting.

"Indeed."

Lin Heng nodded gravely.

The Immortal Platform Level expert who ambushed him today was clearly not at the level of foundation.

A monk so young possessing foundation-level strength.

It was challenging to imagine what colossal entity Little Sumeru Mountain, always shrouded in mystery, might be?

"So, it's not Lingyin Temple you should be concerned about in the future, but always Little Sumeru Mountain."

"That young monk suffered a major setback today, he won't just let this go."

Master Chao Ling gave a serious warning.

Unexpectedly, before Lin Heng could respond, Master Lian Zhou suddenly said:

"One must also not be complacent about Lingyin Temple."

"Oh?"

Master Chao Ling and Master Gui Xu looked at him with some confusion; he tentatively said:

"Before my master ascended, he once mentioned."

"There's a Mad Monk imprisoned in Lingyin Temple, who seems to have a significant connection with the reincarnation of Subduing Dragon back then!"

"Just not sure if he is still in this world..."

Master Chao Ling and Master Gui Xu exchanged glances, unaware of this matter.

"Forget it, my master also just casually mentioned it back then, that Mad Monk might have already died."

Master Lian Zhou said to Lin Heng, "Let's go, we still have proper business to attend to."

Lin Heng inquired, puzzled, "Where to?"

Master Lian Zhou said, "Wudang Mountain, my master left a great fortune for you."

"Huh?"
