Chapter 438: Chapter 217: The Majesty of the Master_3
For a Tribulation Crossing Realm Practitioner, the Domain Tribulation is a watershed moment; those who can overcome this tribulation are considered outstanding even in the Unity Realm Stage.
Most geniuses at the Unity Realm Stage might be able to defeat those below the Crossing Tribulation Fifth Realm, but anything higher becomes quite challenging.
Lu Jin’an looked at his own domain, but he was pondering the Heart Demon Tribulation. Could his heart demon be his older sister?
He could only think of this possibility, because whether it was Nanzhi or his Senior Sister, he had managed to turn the tables against them, and by reason, they shouldn’t be considered heart demons anymore.
So...would it be his older sister?
As he pondered, Lu Jin’an heard an unfamiliar voice coming from below the flying boat.
"Someone asked this humble monk to deliver this letter to Saint Lu."
Lu Jin’an stood up and leaped down, nodding to the two Tribulation Crossing Realm guards blocking the novice, then walked toward the letter-delivering novice.
Lu Jin’an glanced at the novice, who was only at the Yun Dao Realm, and asked, "Who asked you to deliver this?"
"Saint Lu," the novice said with a bow while handing over the letter, "It was a high monk with a straw hat."
A young monk resembling the Buddha’s son from Sumeru Mountain surfaced in Lu Jin’an’s mind. After some thought, he reached out and took the envelope.
The novice bowed and turned to leave.
But after taking just two steps, the novice suddenly paused, his mouth emitting a pained wail as his body swelled and distorted. The next moment, the compressed spiritual power within him, along with his flesh, exploded.
Boom!
Several Tribulation Crossing Realm guards instantly surrounded Lu Jin’an, shielding him from the blast.
In the rising bloody storm, Lu Jin’an’s clothes fluttered as he remained expressionless.
Although the novice’s cultivation wasn’t high, the explosion he caused was comparable to a late Tongsheng Realm practitioner’s self-detonation. Clearly, someone deliberately used a spell to control the novice to self-destruct.
Xu Shu, stepping out from Hanshan Temple, issued a command with a grim expression: "Search the entire city; anyone who dares to obstruct will be dealt with the same charge!"
"Saint Lu," Xu Shu then turned to Lu Jin’an, "Please allow me to inspect the letter in your hand."
Lu Jin’an handed over the letter. Xu Shu opened the envelope in front of him and, finding nothing unusual, returned it to Lu Jin’an.
After glancing at the "Respectfully to Saint Lu" on the envelope, Lu Jin’an looked at the contents of the letter.
The content was merely... eleven names.
Yet the first name made Lu Jin’an frown slightly.
Because the first name was Zhou Yuanfu, who previously claimed to be the Young Sect Master of the Wuji Demon Sect.
As he continued to read, Lu Jin’an recognized only two of the remaining ten names, as they matched those of the possessor from the Upper Realm in his memory.
What about the other names?
Are they related to the Wuji Demon Sect or the Upper Realm?
"Do you need me to seal the city for you?"
Pei Wanyu’s voice sounded from behind, and Lu Jin’an turned to bow: "I would trouble Master for that."
Pei Wanyu smiled slightly, raised her hand, and a feather emanating a profound luster floated upward. As if like a curtain of night, a barrier gradually enveloped Jiuhua City.
Within Jiuhua City, three Buddha lights lit up, seemingly resisting the formation of the barrier. Consequently, three figures simultaneously arrived outside Hanshan Temple.
At the forefront was Bao Yue Buddha, the executor of the Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition from the Sumeru Mountain Buddhist Sect, ranked tenth among the Twenty Deva.
"Master Pei, this place is..."
Before Bao Yue Buddha could continue, Pei Wanyu interrupted expressionlessly, her voice extremely cold: "Kneel!"
Deputy Sect Master of the Wandao Sect, Pei Wanyu’s voice seemed to contain heavenly might, as the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be trembling.
Her phoenix eyes revealed an undeniable majesty, the spiritual power darker and deeper than the night.
The two Buddha figures behind Bao Yue Buddha first succumbed to the oppressive pressure from all sides, their knees slamming heavily onto the ground tiles; the sound was both dull and crisp.
In the center, Bao Yue Buddha’s face flushed red, veins throbbing on his forehead, his entire body trembling violently.
Bao Yue Buddha gritted his teeth and spoke: "Master Pei, this is Lingshan!"
"Dare to assassinate my disciple..." Pei Wanyu’s slender hand pressed down, and in her phoenix eyes, as dark as lacquer, a flame seemed to ignite: "Even if it is at Sumeru Mountain, so what?"
Crack!
Bao Yue Buddha could no longer sustain himself and fell to his knees, a deep fear flickering in his eyes.
Pei Wanyu’s power was far greater than anticipated... his Late Divine Presence strength was simply not enough against this woman.
Both in the Late Divine Presence, how could there be such a disparity?!
The barrier enveloping Jiuhua City solidified, Pei Wanyu calmly commanded Xu Shu: "Follow Jin’an; don’t overlook a single corner."
She gazed toward the North where Lingshan lay, her phoenix eyes solemn and her demeanor composed.
"I shall see who dares speak out again!"
