Chapter 618: Chapter 402: The Infamous Qingjing, Blessing Divine Mallet_2
Gao Yang, as the foremost among the three ancestors.
He turned and first glanced at Qingjing Zen Master, then, promptly laid eyes on the flying boat below, along with Gao Buxi on it, a strange light flashed in his eyes as he immediately sent a telepathic message to this most favored offspring.
At the same time, he addressed Qingjing Zen Master with a clasped hand salute and said,
"Your name, Qingjing Zen Master, I have also heard of."
"However, it is said that although the Zen Master has not entered any temple of the Buddhist Sect, the path of your cultivation seems to differ from that of our Gao Family."
"What is your intention in coming here?"
Gao Yang’s question also reflected the intentions of the other two ancestors.
Clearly, the three of them could not possibly believe Duobao’s words: that he had sent a disciple here merely to seek opportunities.
Judging others by themselves, all three ancestors of the Gao Family determined that Qingjing Zen Master had motives and schemes.
If it conflicted with their Gao Family’s plans, they would unite to eliminate him.
"Big brother, why bother with words, the notorious reputation of Qingjing baldy in the South Sea Territory is formidable, but however fierce, he is still of the Ultimate Happiness Realm."
"Not to mention that right now it is just a clone that descended borrowing treasures, even if it were his true body here, wouldn’t we three together be able to kill him?"
This telepathic message clearly came from the intensely murderous Gao Zhan.
At this moment, as he looked at Tao Qian’s feet, at his "son" who had been rid of the zombie fluid and restored to a normal Human Clan body, his heart felt as if it were being wrenched by a knife, in unbearable pain.
It wasn’t that he was filled with paternal love, or that maternal love overflowed, there were other reasons.
It was a Gao Family legend that Gao Ruyi had outstanding talent, which is why he had received a scripture titled "Heavenly Evil Zombie Scripture" from the Outer Realm Evil Gods at birth.
The truth was that Gao Zhan, in pursuit of power, had taken an alternative path, often using his hermaphroditic Dao Body to resonate with the Outer Realm. Meanwhile, he applied the "Jade Demon Conception Technique," with a chance to capture certain Evil God thoughts and essence of Deceitful Objects from the Outer Realm. When combined, it could result in the birth of extraordinary offspring with innate talents and legacies.
Gao Ruyi was among them.
That so-called "Heavenly Evil Zombie Scripture" originated from an Evil God zombie of the Outer Realm.
In Gao Zhan’s original plan, an offspring like Gao Ruyi, with remarkable potential for growth, might have stepped into the Ultimate Happiness Realm in a hundred or two years. Due to his lineage, he could have been entirely at Gao Zhan’s command.
By then, his knees surrounded by a plethora of powerful Descendants, the great authority of the Gao Family would inevitably fall into his hands.
If luck was on his side, he might even contend for the position of the family patriarch.
But now, Gao Ruyi had been crippled.
That incredibly rare yet fragile "Evil Zombie Origin" was shattered by Tao Qian’s consecutive three palms. As a result, Gao Ruyi reverted to a human body but was utterly ruined, how could this not enrage him?
...
"Grandfather is wise. In such a delicate time, we cannot act rashly."
"Especially this Qingjing Zen Master, who is a malicious figure fluctuating between right and wrong—it’s not necessarily the case that he is an enemy with ill intent. The three of us together could indeed kill his clone, but if we provoke this vicious monk to rush here in his true body, it could ruin our plans."
"But neither can we show weakness. This concerns the dignity of the Gao Family, and it won’t look good if the ancestors find out."
"Especially since Ruyi was crippled by that monk, father will not swallow this grievance. Perhaps we should let father and this Qingjing Zen Master have a fair battle of magical prowess."
"With father’s true body and the Zen Master’s clone, father is sure to win."
While Gao Zhan sent his telepathic message, Gao Wei also communicated telepathically.
The relationship between the two was quite mysterious; both were Ultimate Happiness Realm ancestors of the Gao Family and were father and son.
However, unlike Gao Ruyi and other offspring, Gao Wei had early on separated from his father’s control and assumed great authority, known as Yang Demon True Monarch.
His suggestion seemed very fair.
But anyone who wasn’t a fool could detect the malice hidden within it, saying a father’s kindness and filial piety was no exaggeration.
As Gao Yang smirked inwardly, he suddenly heard Gao Buxi’s telepathic message:
"Ancestor, do not be angry, all of this is a misunderstanding, like a flood that swept through the Dragon King Temple."
"These two individuals happen to be from the maternal family of my wife, willing to enter our Gao Family as Guest Elders, not only for the sake of my face as your darling grandson but also because this Qingjing Zen Master has some plans."
"Master Wu Gou and Miao Yin Bodhisattva are Ten Lifetimes of Resentful Couples."
"This lifetime, the destinies of the two are intertwined, seeking to realize Mahayana together."
"Qingjing Zen Master also intends to use the two’s Blessing to recruit some good Disciples within the Seventy-two provinces."
"Though not explicitly stated, my guess is that Qingjing Zen Master probably plans to establish his own Sect in the South Sea. This vicious monk is ruthless and brutal to any enemy without exception, leaving no survivors, and Master Wu Gou is even more so. Such a new sect formed by this master and disciple will definitely not be tolerated by the Righteous."
"I imagine it would be something akin to a sect like the Demon Buddha Temple, which turns against Buddhism in favor of the Demon."
"Because of my wife’s sake, such a sect would naturally become a strong ally of our Gao Family. We should consider it a powerful support, not to be lightly offended to death."
"However, I think the ancestor already has a plan in mind, which can easily resolve this, and I hope you won’t blame your grandson for being too talkative."
If this message were broadcasted publicly, everyone would understand why Gao Buxi was most favored by Gao Yang.
There’s nothing to it, just flattery.
"A darling grandson" here, "wise ancestor" there.
However, Gao Buxi received the intelligence indeed just in time. The moment Gao Yang heard it, a strange light appeared in his eyes.
As if thinking of a cunning plan, a sinister smile surfaced at the corners of his mouth, not waiting for Qingjing Zen Master to reply.
He immediately gestured for Gao Wei to release Gao Zhan and then declared loudly:
"Since the Zen Master’s disciple and my dear grandson are good friends, then you and I are naturally considered so."
"I should have given the Zen Master a proper reception, but instead, some misunderstandings arose."
"However, it doesn’t matter. We, who are cultivators, live carefreely. Since we have borne grudges, let’s resolve them with a duel."
"May I trouble the Zen Master to spar with my Brother Zhan."
"No matter the outcome, let’s wipe the slate clean of grievances, shall we?"
As he spilled these words, Gao Yang simultaneously transmitted the intelligence to Gao Zhan and Gao Wei, father and son.
The latter, naturally, was fully supportive.
And Gao Zhan, despite being extremely reluctant, also knew he could not defy them.
Being able to pull a strong ally for the Gao Family meant that even if the lawsuit reached the ancient ancestors, Gao Yang would win.
He did not argue with statements like "Was my son beaten for nothing?"
In the Gao Family, such arguments were pointless.
Of course, that didn’t mean he would meekly comply.
"Hmph, I’ll first destroy this old bald monk’s avatar, then find an opportunity to capture those two youngsters and torment them."
"Forming an alliance? That’s wishful thinking."
With his mind made up, Gao Zhan didn’t reply.
Instead, he just sneered and step by step approached Qingjing Zen Master.
During the process, he began clearing the field; all Evil Cultivators had to distance themselves to watch the battle.
The area began to undergo frenzied Jade Transformation, forming a beautiful yet exceedingly strange secret realm battlefield. If not for Gao Yang and Gao Wei controlling forbidden techniques to contain it, the entire Steamed Buddha City might have been Jade Transformed by Gao Zhan.
Meanwhile, the Qingjing Zen Master, seated upon the Big Lotus, saw this unfold.
His face showed no surprise, only shaking his head and chuckling:
"I’ve also heard of the name Jade Demon True Monarch."
"Having seen now, your cultivation is passable, but your Divine Skills are quite ordinary."
"Although it’s just an avatar that has come, it just so happens I’ve brought my personal weapon."
"Most of my infamy comes from this item."
"Gao Daoist, you should be careful not to be killed by me."
As he uttered these sentences,
The entire city resounded with gasps of shock.
All the Demons’ eyes bulged, unable to hide their astonishment.
Goodness!
This Qingjing Zen Master, clearly just an avatar that has descended, why was his imposing attitude even grander than the Jade Demon True Monarch’s real body present here?
While others were astonished, Gao Zhan was furious.
"Old bald donkey!"
"Come, if you don’t kill me today, I, Gao Zhan, will soon visit you in the South Sea."
As these harsh words were released, within the Steamed Buddha City, suddenly rang a strange, thunderous sound.
The sky and earth changed color, Jade Light soared to the heavens.
Gao Zhan’s enchanting Human Clan body suddenly exploded, replaced by an infinitely expanding mass of pus and rotten flesh, teeming with maggots, flesh spikes, and covered in coarse hair.
This mass of rotten flesh did not need to unleash any astonishing Divine Skills; its mere expansion caused everything nearby to undergo Jade Transformation.
Then, all things were devoured by the rotten flesh.
Everyone had thought the true body of Jade Demon True Monarch must be outrageously shocking, yet they never imagined it to be so terrifying.
Just when every Demon thought the old monk’s avatar would perish, suddenly within that battlefield, another Song Rhymes echoed:
"Don’t be swayed by the Demon’s Light that reaches high,"
"It cannot withstand our Demon Cleansing Mallet’s strike."
Before the chant was finished, the Demons saw Qingjing Zen Master pull out a Divine Mallet pulsating with Divine Light from somewhere.
He stepped down from the Lotus Platform, walked unhurriedly towards Gao Zhan’s true form, and swung the mallet down.
Meanwhile, he said: "Daoist, please reveal your true form!"
