Chapter 34 Illusion

“Let me introduce myself. I am Ji Tianlin from the Dao Sect. I was moved just now. Do you find it rude?”

Ji Tianlin?

The name was so similar. He was also a Dao Sect disciple with more than 2,600 years of cultivation.

It was probably Ji Tianlin of the Immeasurable Sect, right?

However, Li Xuanxin did not expose him.

Under normal circumstances, only those who were too strong could see through the other party’s cultivation.

If he said that he had seen through the other party’s strength and identity, wouldn’t that indirectly admit that he was stronger than him?

They were strangers. Li Xuanxin did not want a stranger to know his strength.

“I am Xuanxin of Spirit Platform Temple.”

Hearing that Li Xuanxin was from Spirit Platform Temple, Ji Tianlin’s eyes lit up with joy.

“So you’re a Dharma Master from Spirit Platform Temple. Sorry for my lack of manners. If you don’t mind, can you come over? I’ll treat you to a cup of tea.”

“There’s no need for tea. I’m used to drinking cold water.”

“Alright, but the tea house is already full. We’ll share a table. You won’t mind, right?”

“Up to you.”

“Thank you.”

Ji Tianlin smiled and thanked him. Then, he shouted at the counter, “Shopkeeper, give me a pot of good tea. I want the most expensive one. I don’t lack money.”

“Alright.”

Ji Tianlin turned around and looked at Li Xuanxin. He asked curiously, “Master Xuanxin, Spirit Platform Temple is quite far from here. Why are you here?”

“I’ve been traveling for more than a year.”

“I see. However, Master Xuanxin, you’ve come at a good time. Now that the West Shu’s Buddhism is flourishing, many people respect the Buddhist disciples.”

However, there were also many people who used this opportunity to obtain benefits. Even some Buddhist disciples could not help but be greedy and began to be arrogant.

“True monks like Master Xuanxin are rare.”

Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows. In a sense, he was responsible for this matter.

But sometimes, things were so dramatic.

If he did not kill those demons, the people of West Shu would not be at peace. By killing those demons, he had instead given benefits to some people who used the Buddhist Sect’s name.

Therefore, what filled the world with sins might not be demons, but the hearts of people. The human heart could never be satisfied.

Ji Tiandao’s tea was quickly served. He also poured a cup for Li Xuanxin.

“Although you don’t care, I can’t be shameless. Take this cup of tea as me thanking you for letting me share the table.”

Li Xuanxin nodded and did not say anything else. He accepted it.

The two of them sipped their tea and did not say anything else. Compared to the other noisy guests, they were quite different.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion on the street.

“Look, two groups of monks are fighting.”

“Why are these Buddhist disciples fighting?”

“Good fight! Good fight! Beat them until they’re bald and croaking. I’ve long found them an eyesore. The one who saved West Shu was the Sacred Monk. These freeloading bastards took advantage of us. I’m so angry.”

When the tea house guests heard this, they also gathered on the street to watch the battle.

For a time, the streets were lively.

Ji Tianlin glanced at it and shook his head.

“It’s really ridiculous. They’re simply embarrassing the Buddhist Sect by doing this.”

After a pause, he said, “However, this is not strange. After all, because of the Sacred Monk, West Shu’s Buddhist faction is now at its peak. Many people have mixed in.”

“Speaking of which, I heard that the Sacred Monk knows the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. He should be from Spirit Platform Temple. Master Xuanxin is also from Spirit Platform Temple. Do you know anything about that Sacred Monk?” Li Xuanxin shook his head.

“I’ve never seen him before. I’m not sure.”

Ji Tianlin felt a little regretful.

“I’m not afraid of being laughed at by Master Xuanxin. I came to West Shu to see that peerless monk. Unfortunately, I’ve been in West Shu for a year and haven’t gained anything

“If Master Xuanxin knows, please help me introduce him. I will definitely thank you.”

“If I see him, I’ll help you ask.”

“Thank you very much.”

Just as he finished speaking, a new change occurred on the street.

A man in his forties or fifties dressed in a silk robe suddenly entered and used a powerful Mystical Power to deal with the two groups of monks. They retreated to the side of the street.

“How impudent! As members of the Buddhist Sect, how can you act recklessly on the streets? It’s simply an insult to the Buddhist Sect!”

The Buddhist disciples on both sides were still not convinced and immediately roared, “Who do you think you are? You dare to attack us just because your cultivation level is high? When our sect elders come, we’ll make you suffer!”

“Yes, leave your name if you have the guts.”

“Alright! If your sect wants to find me, then go to the Shu State’s Maple Leaf City. I won’t change my name or surname. I am Shu State’s East County’s County Governor, Fu Yun!”

With that said, the bustling street instantly fell silent.

“Lord… Governor?”

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the other party in disbelief.

The County Governor of the East County of the Shu State was equivalent to the local king!

They did not expect him to appear here.

“Greetings, Lord Governor!”

“Greetings, Lord Governor.”

Suddenly, it was unknown who started it, but the cultivators on the street knelt down one after another.

Seeing that Fu Yun was dealing with this fairly without any bias or arrogance, Ji Tianlin praised, “Not bad. This Fu Yun looks very competent and doesn’t put on airs. He should be a good official. The Imperial Court’s nurturing of him was not in vain.”

Under the bamboo hat, Li Xuanxin said indifferently, “Illusion has no substance. It’s difficult to see with the naked eye. There are some things that need to be observed carefully to come to a conclusion.”

Ji Tianlin could not help but frown in confusion.

“Master, do you mean that Fu Yun is acting?”

“I’m only guessing…” Li Xuanxin said slowly. He had always wanted to say that West Shu was not strong enough. They surrounded the demons and forced them to run rampant. Unfortunately, there was no suitable person in the Shu State to say that. Li Changqing’s cultivation was not enough. If he rashly told him and the news was exposed, it would only attract a fatal disaster.

Now that a big shot like Ji Tianlin had appeared, he could tell him.

Ji Tianlin would definitely investigate in the future. If Fu Yun was not guilty, that would be the best.

However, if Fu Yun was guilty and discovered in time, it could be considered a good deed for the dead people and cultivators of West Shu.

“A year ago, the West Shu’s East County issued a recruitment order to let the cultivators of the East County cooperate with the experts of the Fiend Suppression Division to participate in the encirclement of demons.

“However, with the strength of the cultivators in the various cities at that time, even if they joined forces with the Fiend Suppression Division, it was very difficult to pose a fatal threat to the demons…”
