Chapter 35 Exposed

Li Xuanxin’s words made Ji Tianlin’s expression turn solemn.

If it was really as he said, it would not be an ordinary problem.

The demons of the Great Zhou were usually suppressed by the Imperial Court and did not dare to act rashly.

However, even a dog would jump over the wall if forced to…

“Fellow Daoist Xuanxin, is there any evidence regarding this?”

Ji Tianlin was also very friendly. Li Xuanxin had just started to communicate with him when he changed his words from Dharma Master to Fellow Daoist.

“You should be able to ask some small sects. Back then, the siege battle caused quite a commotion. Many sects suffered heavy losses.”

“They didn’t know the strength of the demons, but as the County Governor of the East County of the Shu State, Fu Yun’s cultivation level should be above the Mountain Sea Realm, right? It would be a joke if he didn’t know.”

Ji Tianlin took a deep breath and cupped his hands.

“Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Xuanxin. This is very important. I can’t sit by and do nothing. I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Ji Tianlin bid farewell and left.

The moment he disappeared, Fu Yun on the street suddenly sensed something and glanced over.

“The aura of the Six Armor Divine Movement? Someone from the Immeasurable Sect?”

Li Xuanxin saw everything.

He did not expect Fu Yun’s strength to be extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the Buddhist Sect had the Heavenly Eye Mystical Power. After comprehending it, they could see through illusions. Even if they were at the same realm and the other party’s cultivation was slightly stronger than Li Xuanxin’s, he could easily see through them.

“I hope you don’t let down your status as an official.”

Shaking his head, Li Xuanxin also left the tea house and continued his journey.

A few days later, at the East County County Governor’s residence.

A figure quickly entered and followed the path to the backyard of the County Governor’s residence. This was the residence of the County Governor, Fu Yun, and his family. “Sir.”

Fu Yun was throwing food to feed the goldfish in the garden. When he heard the other party’s voice, he did not even turn around.

“Have you found out?”

“Sir, I’ve found out. Recently, there has been a young man from a few sects asking about the siege of demons.”

“Do you have any information about the other party?”

“No. The other party usually uses pills and gold and silver as bribes. They also use pseudonyms. They are different in several places, so we can’t determine the other party’s identity.”

“However, one of them used his memories to draw a portrait.”

“Let me see.”

“Yes!”

The other party took the feed from Fu Yun and handed him a portrait.

When he saw the portrait, Fu Yun’s eyes flickered.

“It’s really him!”

“Sir! Who is this person? Why do you think so highly of him?”

“Dao Sect’s Immeasurable Sect, Ji Tianlin.”

“Ji Tianlin! That genius from the Dao Sect? The second on the Genius Ranking?”

“That’s right.”

“But why would this person come to our West Shu? Why would he investigate the siege of demons?”

“That’s because he has another identity.”

“What identity?”

“Great Zhou’s Second Prince!”

“Gasp!”

Hearing this, the other party felt his scalp tingle and all his hair stood on end.

The Second Prince of Great Zhou was one of the Crown Princes of Great Zhou. He was one of the people who would compete for the throne in the future!

If things went wrong, he might become the Emperor of the Great Zhou in the future!

“It seems that the Imperial Court has already noticed something unusual. There’s still a year and a half until the seal of the Black Water River. No matter what, we have to delay this.”

“However, this might be a good opportunity for us…”

“Previously, we had wanted to use these cultivators to besiege the demons of the Three Realms. Then, they would be killed by the demons and transformed into vengeful spirits to increase our strength.”

“Unfortunately, it was ruined by that Buddhist monk. Now that West Shu is gradually becoming peaceful, the Imperial Court will no longer send anyone. Why don’t… we kill Ji Tianlin? The Emperor of the Great Zhou will not watch his son be killed and not send troops to eliminate the demons.”

“But… Lord, what if the Imperial Court blames us?”

“Why would he blame us? He secretly came to West Shu and didn’t inform me. Besides… don’t forget, he was killed by demons.”

“Lord is wise.”

“Send a message to the seventeen Ghost Generals. Attack in full force and besiege Ji Tianlin!”

A few days later, Li Xuanxin followed a few merchants and headed to Chu State.

Walking into the forest, the merchants rested.

At this moment, a butler handed Li Xuanxin a pot of water.

“Little Master, you must be thirsty after walking for so long.”

“Thank you, benefactor.”

Li Xuanxin clasped his hands and bowed. He took the tea. The moment he opened the lid, his expression changed slightly, but he still drank the water without showing a trace of suspicion.

Seeing him drink the water, joy flashed across the butler’s eyes.

“How many years has Little Master been a monk?”

“Almost eight years?”

“Eight years. I couldn’t tell. Little Master is so young, but you have already been a monk for eight years. The Buddhist Sect is peaceful and Little Master is hot-blooded. You can actually endure it. I’m impressed.”

“You flatter me.”

The butler smiled and continued, “Little Master is so young. Have you ever thought of returning to the secular world?”

“Benefactor, you mean…?”

The butler looked at the carriage. The curtain was lifted slightly and a cute beauty could be vaguely seen staring at Li Xuanxin greedily.

“To be honest, yesterday, when you took off your bamboo hat to wash your face, my young miss took a look and became distracted. She couldn’t sleep at night and secretly fell in love.”

“Little Master is handsome and carefree. My young miss is as beautiful as a flower. You are really a match made in heaven. I hope that Little Master will return to the secular world and marry into our Fu Family.”

“You must be joking. I’m a monk.”

“Hehehe, if you renounce asceticism, you won’t be a monk anymore.”

“Little Master, let me tell you something. My family’s young miss is the niece of Lord Fu Yun, the County Governor of the East County. If you marry her, you will enjoy wealth and luxury. Isn’t it better than being a monk?”

Li Xuanxin’s expression was calm as he slowly said, “What if… I don’t agree?”

The butler chuckled.

“Before you, there were a few people who disagreed. However, their entire family disappeared from this world.”

“But you don’t have to worry, because I’ve already drugged the water you drank just now. Later, you’ll be our young miss’ husband, so she won’t kill you!”

Li Xuanxin sighed faintly and did not waste any more time.

Flames rose.

“Namah samanta vajrānām, ham!”

With the Flame World Incantation, Buddhist light spread out. Wherever it passed, it carbonized the few of them and turned them into dust.

“Amitabha!”

With the chanting of the Buddhist mantra, Li Xuanxin turned around and embarked on his journey again.

Being handsome was a sin. Although there was no clear law that said that handsome people had to be punished, they would be noticed no matter where they went. They would even be targeted and others would not hesitate to take the risk to do something that went against the moral law to obtain him.

This brought sin.

Either Li Xuanxin killed the other party or she snatched him away.

If he could defend himself and was stronger, he would survive.

However, if he was not handsome, this tragedy would not have happened.

Li Xuanxin sighed deeply.

“Buddha, please pity me. In my next life, don’t let me be so good-looking anymore! Such a good-looking appearance is a sin to Buddhist disciples!”
