Abbot's furious shout finally brought Miao Xuan back to his senses. He gazed towards the figure of the Daoist by Jingshui Lake, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and replied tremblingly:

"It's Qingfeng Temple, it's the Observatory Master Lin Heng from Qingfeng Temple!"

"He used a talisman to suppress that most terrifying Corpse King, then raised his hand to summon Celestial Thunder, turning the Corpse King into ashes."

"All three ferocious corpses are dead, all of them are dead..."

...

Silence.

After the phone hung up, Zen Spirit Temple plunged into a silence so profound that even a pin drop could be heard.

Every monk in the Buddhist Hall had their mouths wide open, expressions shocked, finding it hard to believe.

Fa Ling appeared somewhat out of sorts.

Several elders of the "Kong" generation had faces ashen, as if they had swallowed a dead rat.

"To what extent has his strength actually reached?"

"Even those three ferocious corpses, which could not be resolved for decades, were taken down by him one by one..."

"What kind of monster is this guy, exactly?"

The crowd couldn't comprehend, nor could they accept it.

When it was said that the Evil Spirit City God was resolved by that Daoist, although everyone was shocked, they were not terrified.

Because for Zen Spirit Temple, their Abbot inherently possessed the strength to resolve the Evil Spirit City God, albeit with some difficulty.

But the three fierce corpses suppressed beneath the base of Spirit Suppression Bureau were entities that could truly never be resolved for decades!

According to the information held by Zen Spirit Temple.

When those three ferocious corpses last appeared, each one exhibited strength of the Profound Realm.

Among them, the King Corpse was a mere step away from the Grandmaster Realm.

Even though their strength may have waned over the decades, the physiques of zombies should still, in theory, be terrifying.

But such terrifying zombies were actually exterminated by that fellow from Qingfeng Temple?

How could the monks of Zen Spirit Temple believe this? How dare they believe it?

"According to Miao Xuan's description, wasn't the technique he used the Five Thunders Righteous Method of the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

Kong Xuan, with a complex expression, hesitated to speak to the Abbot: "Master, could Master Du'e really be a match for him?"

This was not about underestimating oneself and boosting the enemy's morale, but given the situation, a reevaluation of the situation was unavoidable.

All the monks looked worriedly towards Abbot Fa Ling.

At this moment, Fa Ling was secretly relieved in his heart, thankful that his cautious nature prevented him from listening to Kong Xing's foolish ideas of rash action.

Given the strength currently exhibited by the opponent.

If he had really sought trouble with the opponent, the recently cultivated to Great Success Little Ming King Skill would probably have been pummeled to pulp.

Taking a deep breath, Fa Ling reassured everyone:

"The methods of Daoism inherently have an overpowering effect on demons and evil spirits."

"It's certainly extraordinary that he could eliminate those three ferocious corpses, but there's no need to overly exalt it."

Pausing here, an expression of reverence surfaced in Fa Ling's eyes as he recalled: "Moreover, you haven't seen Master Du'e, so you don't understand his terror."

"Let me frankly tell you, Master Du'e stepped into the Profound Realm ten years ago!"

What?!

Upon hearing this, shock flickered in the eyes of everyone.

Yet Kong Xuan remained worried.

"But that Daoist's methods are not simple. We now know for sure that he possesses Maoshan Divine Technique Palm Thunder, Qingcheng Mountain Innate True Qi, possibly Golden Light Spell from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and now a suspected Five Thunders Righteous Method technique."

"Although Master Du'e's cultivation realm is profound, my fear is that he might suffer in divine techniques..."

Kong Xuan's concerns were not unfounded.

It was well-known that in normal cultivation, one must ascend to the Profound Realm to perform Great Divine Techniques.

Otherwise, one must possess unique secret techniques.

Like Qingcheng Mountain's Innate True Qi.

It's one thing if the Daoist belongs to the latter category, relying on Innate True Qi to perform various divine techniques, then that's that.

But if the Daoist himself is of the Profound Realm, with several Great Divine Techniques of the Daoist Sect.

It was hard for Kong Xuan to imagine how the Daoist could lose in a battle of the same realm?

What the assembly of high monks hadn't expected was that these realistic analyses and concerns of Kong Xuan were met with the Abbot's rebuke.

"Silence!"

Kong Xuan was taken aback, not understanding why, and quickly bowed in fear: "Disciple misspoke, I ask Master for punishment!"

Fa Ling's eyes were cold as he looked at him with some anger and disappointment in his voice and rebuked Kong Xuan, as well as Kong Yan and Kong Xing: "You've followed me for so many years, yet remain so foolish? Can't you see the deeper meaning of my words?"

"Huh?"

The three of them looked at each other, confusion on their faces, and they humbly asked for guidance: "We are foolish, please teach us, Master!"

Fa Ling snorted angrily, annoyed: "If it were Kong Wen, he would have figured it out quickly."

Despite his anger, Fa Ling eventually explained in a low voice:

"That Daoist has already affected the reputation of our Buddhist Sect."

"If we don't invite Master Du'e to handle it and let the situation develop, how could the Upper Buddhism Sect not punish us at the Zen Spirit Temple?"

"The only thing we can do now is to have Master Du'e go to resolve it."

"If he can solve that Daoist, and plead on my behalf, I'm not saying we will be exonerated, but at least the Zen Spirit Temple won't be abolished; at most, I would resign in self-blame."

"And if he can't resolve it?" The congregation asked with furrowed brows.

"Can't resolve it?"

A cold glint flashed in Fa Ling's eyes, and his voice turned icy: "If even a high monk of the Profound Realm from the Great Brightness Temple falls to that Daoist, then what sin do I, as an Abbot at the Innate Realm of Zen Spirit Temple, have?"

At these words, the people looked at each other and suddenly understood.

"So... whether that Daoist can be resolved is not important at all."

"What matters is that Master Du'e has to come!"

"If the Daoist dies, there will be nothing to discuss."

"If Master Du'e dies, then we'll put all the blame on Master Du'e!"

"When the Upper Sect prosecutes Zen Spirit Temple for failing about the local Daoist Temple, we can completely say that Master Du'e ordered us to keep silent."

"As for the reason..."

Kong Xuan thought to himself, suddenly his eyes lit up: "Just say that Master Du'e coveted the Daoist's Duster Magical Artifact!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Yan and Kong Xing, who typically ranked among the least intelligent, showed looks of shock.

Fa Ling, however, nodded, and then with a blank expression, said: "Therefore, when Master Du'e comes, remember, don't talk too much about that Daoist's methods!"

"If you must talk, talk about that Duster Magical Artifact!"

During his time at Nanling Cave, Fa Ling had already witnessed the power of that artifact. According to his estimation, it was at least Sixth Grade, possibly Seventh Grade!

But whether it was Sixth Grade or Seventh Grade, such an artifact was enough to make that greedy uncle drool!

"Understood, Master!"

The congregation bowed their heads, feeling even more apprehensive of the Abbot's deep schemes.
