Chapter 147: Chapter 117: The Sinister Monk_2

The person brought his hands together in prayer, enunciating each word clearly.

Yet it left Ban Tiankuang and the others present gaping in disbelief.

Among them, a bewitching lady couldn’t help but let out a light laugh:

“Are you possessed? What demon art has this old monk used to turn you into what you are now?

“But rest assured, since we’ve come, we won’t just let you become a monk.

“After all, you have several concubines waiting for you on the mountain to return and favor them.

“If you ever tire of them, we can always head down the mountain to catch more…”

As her words reached this point, Hui Zhi broke into a cold sweat, perceiving her glare as if facing a venomous serpent, and repeatedly said:

“Sinful, sinful, this monk’s past was frivolous, benefactress please hold your tongue!”

The scholar and the tower-like man exchanged glances: “Has this man truly gone mad, or is he being controlled?”

“Don’t worry about it too much. This matter is strange, we’d better take this person first and plan the revenge killing later.”

The scholar whispered to Ban Tiankuang and Ning Wubian.

Ning Wubian scanned the surroundings warily and whispered, “Be cautious of Su Mo, who might be hidden anywhere. Act swiftly.”

He still believed Su Mo was hiding somewhere in this temple.

Indeed, ordinarily with his temperament, he wouldn’t have wasted so many words with Monk Hongyun.

Today, he patiently talked through everything, all in an attempt to locate Su Mo.

After the battle in Xuanji Valley, Su Mo had gained significant renown. Although Ban Tiankuang’s name contains ’kuang’ implying madness, he doesn’t really disregard everyone.

When they were ascending the mountain, the sight of Su Mo’s flags had been a cautionary reminder.

However, he had never dreamed that Su Mo was not in this temple, but hiding under an eave outside the temple to avoid the rain.

This wasn’t really Ban Tiankuang’s fault.

After all, what Chief would have his subordinates all waiting under the eaves without even a chair, completely blending in with everyone else?

He reasoned that someone of Su Mo’s status and reputation should at least be inside the temple serving tea.

And going a step further, he wondered how Hongyun Temple could dare to act against them given their presence here. Could there be a connection with the renowned yet perfectly opportune presence of Su Mo here?

So, he remained vigilant for a sudden assault from Su Mo.

But now, even if Su Mo were truly lurking somewhere nearby, waiting for a chance to strike, he couldn’t care less.

His own men had become monks, and even his own appearance couldn’t call them back—wouldn’t this become a laughingstock if known?

Ning Wubian gave a nod, and the tower-like man and the scholar both leaped into action.

In the blink of an eye, they reached Hui Zhi’s side, one to the left and one to the right, grabbing his shoulders, ready to forcibly take him away.

“Let’s go!”

As they spoke, they leaped up but didn’t actually jump…

It was because Hui Zhi used a move called ’thousand jin drop’, making him as stable as a rock.

Carrying someone while performing Qinggong is already difficult, especially if the person doesn’t cooperate.

With Hui Zhi’s robust build and solid martial arts, employing ’thousand jin drop’, it was indeed difficult for them to move him.

“You!”

In a moment of surprise, they heard Hui Zhi say, “I will not leave!”

“That’s not for you to decide!”

They hadn’t expected that after becoming a monk in Hongyun Temple, Hui Zhi’s martial arts skills would remain intact!

He really wasn’t under anyone’s control.

They immediately tried to immobilize him by striking his acupoints, but when they raised their hands to strike, their fingers wouldn’t come down.

Looking up, they saw on each side a monk had stopped their hands from striking the acupoints.

“Huh? Black Gold Blade Zhao Cheng?”

“Iron Rooster Zhou Bing?”

The one called Zhou Bing’s face turned dark.

He wasn’t known as Iron Rooster, but as Iron Phoenix.

But because he was so miserly, extorting every merchant and his own men relentlessly, he wasn’t well-liked.

His actual skills being superior, no one in the village could contest him, and he inevitably became the village chief.

Resentful in his heart, people mockingly changed ’Iron Phoenix’ to ’bald rooster’, and it unexpectedly caught on, replacing his original title.

At this moment, though dressed as a monk, hearing this old name made him unable to suppress his darkening expression.

He counter-attacked with a palm strike directed at the chest of the tower-like man.

But the man didn’t move, allowing the palm to land on his body: “Rooster claws are quite sharp but not very powerful.”

He laughed loudly, patted his chest, and countered with a punch directed at Zhou Bing.

Zhou Bing, unwilling to be outdone, punched at the man’s chest too.

After a direct clash of fists hitting their respective chests, both staggered, each retreating three steps.

Then, yelling, they charged towards each other once again.

As these two exchanged blows, the scholar also engaged in combat with Black Gold Blade Zhao Cheng.

Hui Zhi, hands still in prayer, stood awkwardly in the middle, unsure of where to look but finally his gaze turned towards Monk Hongyun.

Hongyun brought his hands together, uttering softly, “Cut off worldly ties, now is the time.”

“Yes.”

Hui Zhi seemed to make up his mind, and leaping into the air, he charged towards the lady.

The lady was startled: “Are you really going to strike me harshly?”
