The netizens shook their heads and sighed.

The bullet comments in the live stream gradually shifted from admiration for the Divine Monks to reminiscing about the Daoist.

But unfortunately.

The Daoist has already isolated himself.

Even though many people want to witness the Daoist's style, there's no opportunity now.

...

"What's with that look? What, do you have a problem with us?"

After leaving the Black Bear Spirit's cave, Old Fourth was in an extremely foul mood. Seeing the reporter's odd expression, he instantly felt that this ordinary person, like an ant, was looking down on him!

Old Fourth's eyes turned icy cold.

The intimidating glare made the reporter's face turn pale, and he explained shakily:

"No… no…"

"My admiration for the great monks is as unending as the flowing river, how dare I have an issue with you?"

"It's just… it's just…"

He stuttered, hesitating, his expression complex.

"Just what? Can't you say it?"

Old Fourth, annoyed, spoke with extreme coldness and impatience.

The Great Vajra Monk frowned, cleared his throat, clearly reminding Old Fourth of the impact of the live stream, then looked at the reporter with a kind face.

"Feel free to speak, patron."

Hearing this, the reporter finally, with a complex expression, narrated the current situation in the live stream to them.

Upon learning that countless netizens were greatly disappointed by their retreat,

the faces of the four monks turned somewhat grim.

Especially Old Third and Old Fourth, who looked at the Great Vajra Monk with resentment, obviously blaming him for his caution.

Especially this caution.

It damaged the Divine Monk image they had painstakingly built up over the past few days, making them even more frustrated.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?" Old Second asked with a frown.

This trip down the mountain, they only had two tasks.

One was to change the reputation of the Buddhist Sect.

The other was to deal with that Daoist.

Dealing with that Daoist wasn't difficult, once they reached Qingfeng Temple, they could naturally resolve it.

But to change the reputation of the Buddhist Sect, they must pay attention to how the world views them!

The Great Vajra Monk's expression shifted, after a brief contemplation, he decisively offered an explanatory statement to the live camera:

"The retreat earlier was not out of fear."

"It was because that Bear Demon has already acquired the wisdom of the Buddhist Sect, which you can tell from its wearing of a kasaya."

"Our Buddhist Sect has always been compassionate, and unless necessary, we do not wish to kill."

"Since the Bear Demon is inclined towards goodness, it was only natural for me to give it a chance."

"I only hope it cherishes this opportunity, focuses on goodness, and benefits all!"

"This way, I will not betray my own intentions."

"Nor will I betray the compassionate heart of our Buddhist Sect!"

"Amitabha!"

The prolonged chant of Buddha's name from the Great Vajra Monk not only showcased compassion but also demonstrated broad-mindedness!

"Wow?!"

The other three Vajra Monks were stunned by their senior brother's brilliant words.

They really didn't expect.

That their fellow cultivator of the Vajra's Furious Gaze could also be so quick-witted?

This speech was flawless.

Not only did it perfectly explain their retreat but also elaborated on the Buddhist Sect's philosophy.

Previously, the Daoist gained numerous followers by saying, "World peace and prosperity is the wish of Daoism."

And wasn't their senior brother's speech similar in its ingenuity?

As predicted.

After the Great Vajra Monk's explanation, the wave of disappointment in the live stream bullet comments significantly decreased.

And the reverence from those Buddhist believers swamped the screen again.

Many people praised them for their high-mindedness.

With great power, they also possessed compassion.

For the wicked, they showed no mercy.

But for this Bear Demon with the wisdom of the Buddhist Sect, even when insulted by it, the four Divine Monks did not take offense.

Instead, they chose to de-escalate and avoid confrontation.

Just hoping this Bear Demon can benefit humanity in the future?

It must be said, a Divine Monk is truly a Divine Monk.

Their perspective is vast!

The harmony returned to the live stream bullet comments, and the Buddhist believers revered them even more.

However, many also raised another question.

"By the way, after this city, is it Chang City?"

"Could the four monks share whether you'll be visiting White Cliff Mountain?"

"Are you going to pick a fight?"

Many people were curious.

Including the Buddhist believers.

Compared to the casual excitement of onlookers, many Buddhist believers truly hoped that the four Divine Monks would go and compete with that Daoist!

After all, the conflict between Buddhist Daoists never purely involved only those within the Buddhist and Daoist communities.

It can be said many believers do not wish for their faith to appear inferior to others!

"These days, everyone has been quite curious about this matter."

"And indeed, it's not far from Chang City now."

"Could the masters let us in on the plan?"

The reporter cautiously asked, actually quite curious himself.

Seeing this, the Great Vajra Monk exchanged glances with the other three, pondering briefly before finally revealing a smile and directly addressing:

"Since we're passing through Chang City, and there happens to be such a Daoist there, it's only natural for us to pay a visit."

"After all, as fellow cultivators, occasional exchanges are very beneficial for clarifying and upholding true intentions."

He smiled slightly, speaking calmly and steadily, showcasing the demeanor of a great monk.

The netizens in the live stream were instantly thrilled to hear this.

"Didn't I say? Didn't I say the masters would definitely visit Qingfeng Temple!"

"Just wondering, will there be a big showdown?"

"There probably won't be, didn't the masters say? Just going for an exchange."

"Is it really just for an exchange? I doubt it!"

"+1!"

"Who cares what they're going for, as long as they capture the Daoist on camera, I've been missing that divine face for days!"

"I miss it too!"

The bullet comments were filled with anticipation.

The rhythm of the live stream had calmed, and the Four Great Vajra Monks felt relieved. Now they needed to prepare for the matter of Qingfeng Temple!

A simple exchange was out of the question.

Since the day that Daoist ruined the reputation of the Buddhist Sect, it was destined that he must die!

...

On the other side, after packing up his belongings, the Black Bear Spirit left the place where it lived for a while, sighing.

When it arrived at White Cliff Mountain,

Lin Heng was already waiting in front of the Daoist Temple doorway.

"Gone so long, seems like you've collected quite a bit, could you let this poor Daoist see what you've got?"

The Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast's first day at work, Lin Heng also gave a friendly greeting.

The Black Bear Spirit forced a smile: "Not much stuff, mainly delayed a bit by a few bald monks."

As it spoke, it began unloading its belongings from its portable Spatial Magical Artifact.

Lin Heng looked at the array of kasayas, Zen staffs, meditation mats, and wooden fish.

He couldn't help but find it amusing.

How many temples has this guy stolen from?
