With a creaking sound, the huge figure in the cell walked out.

Li Huowang looked up at the monk in front of him. The expressionless and thin monk was unusually tall, standing next to the headless Peng Longteng.

The monk's hands were bound by wooden shackles, and his feet were also chained, but he didn't care. He folded his hands and sat directly on the ground, not intending to remove the restraints.

"Alright, everyone is here. Let's talk about the mission." Upon hearing this, everyone present became serious, and the prison guards around them also left along the ladder.

Ji Xiangqing coughed and said slowly, "This time, there was an incident at the Buddha Bone Temple. The news that came from there was that the Zuo Wang Dao sect made a move for wealth. I don't know what these killers want to do."

Wealth! One of the three leaders of the Zuo Wang Dao sect. Li Huowang clenched his fists. No wonder even Ji Xiangqing, who stayed in the capital, came. This incident was definitely not ordinary.

"When doing this, can I try to get information about Beifeng from Wealth?" While Li Huowang was thinking about the possibility of this, Ji Xiangqing continued speaking.

"Since it's Wealth from Zuo Wang Dao, everyone knows the weight of this mission. That's why we asked Xin Chi Chanshi for help."

The other three all looked at the tall monk in unison. Facing their gaze, the monk remained silent.

"Xin Chi Chanshi practices the Silent Meditation. Wealth's tricks can't fool him, so when you get to the Buddha Bone Temple, remember that what Xin Chi Chanshi says is absolutely true."

"Secondly, once you enter the temple, no one can leave others' sight for even the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. You must be careful that the person who comes back has not been tampered with by Zuo Wang Dao."

"Also, ten years ago, I had dealings with Wealth. This woman is very difficult to deal with. Don't listen to her words blindly, but you also can't ignore them."

"Oh? Can't ignore them?" Tuoba Danqing cooperated well, tilting his body back and widening his eyes in surprise.

"Well, sometimes, even if you don't listen, you will still fall into her trap. The best way is to be skeptical of three parts of what she says, and leave three parts for yourself."

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"Ah, such a difficult rebel. Ten years ago, Master Ji Xiangqing was able to force her back. We are no match for her."

"Difficult to deal with? Hehe~ That's why the best way is to kill her before she speaks. Ear Jiu, among us, you are the most skilled at it. So when Xin Chi Chanshi tells you to do it, you must do it."

"Yes, sir. But how can Xin Chi Chanshi tell me if he practices Silent Meditation?" Li Huowang had wanted to ask this for a long time. This monk couldn't speak, and it was useless even if he couldn't be fooled by Wealth.

As soon as Li Huowang finished speaking, a voice of "Amitabha Buddha" exploded in his mind. "The poor monk can communicate with him through his heart. Don't worry, benefactor."

This voice reminded Li Huowang of the nuns in An Ci An who also had this ability. He had a better impression of this monk.

"Okay, let's talk about other trivial matters on the way."

Li Huowang stood up and followed the others out of the prison. They got on the four-carriage that had already been prepared.

No one asked what Wealth looked like. Since it was Zuo Wang Dao, what she looked like depended entirely on what she wanted to look like.

The relay stations in Daliang were obviously very well-equipped. After Ji Xiangqing repeatedly showed his credentials, there were special cars to transfer them at each station.The speed was definitely not something Li Huowang could achieve on foot. In just two days and one night, they had arrived in the city of Langzhong where the Buddha Bone Temple was located.

As night fell, Li Huowang opened the curtain of the carriage and stepped out. He saw a striking temple towering over the surrounding buildings in the distance.

"Remember what I said earlier, let's go." Ji Xiang said, leading the way towards the temple.

As they approached the temple, everyone's expression became solemn. Ji Xiang's abacus had already started clicking.

Surprisingly, the Buddha Bone Temple was still open at this late hour. Devotees holding incense were constantly coming and going, making it seem just as prosperous as the Zhengde Temple.

The moment Li Huowang stepped over the threshold, his heart began to race. Although there were people all around and it was bustling, he knew that the temple had already been corrupted by the Taoist sects that deceive beings. Apart from the three people beside him, anyone else could become an enemy at any moment.

The others also realized this and instinctively held onto their weapons. Ji Xiang's abacus continued to click, making the surrounding noise quieter.

Their peculiar attire attracted the attention of people around them, but they ignored them.

"Follow me, let's go to the main hall first." Ji Xiang led the way, and the other three followed.

There was no Buddha or Bodhisattva in the hall. Instead, a dark red, twisted corpse was placed in the center, receiving worship from the devotees.

"Is this the work of the Taoist sects that deceive beings? Are they making people worship this corpse as a Buddha?" Li Huowang couldn't help but ask while holding onto his purple sword.

"No, this is a flesh Buddha. It was originally worshipped in the Buddha Bone Temple." Heart Devotee Monk reminded him.

Flesh Buddha? Li Huowang looked at the terrifying corpse in front of him and suddenly understood why the temple was called the Buddha Bone Temple.

Just then, Heart Devotee Monk's voice became unusually severe. "Act quickly, kill the devotee three steps to the left! Now!"

"Clang!" Li Huowang exerted force with his right arm, enveloping it with a fierce aura, and swung his sword heavily at the man.

The sharp blade, like cutting through paper, easily sliced through the man's body. The crimson blood and internal organs spurted out of the gap, and the man, cut in half, screamed in despair before falling motionless.

This horrifying scene instantly made the surrounding devotees scream and run away.

Heart Devotee Monk, wearing a wooden collar, walked over and knelt in front of the corpse. After reciting something with his hands clasped together, he picked up the head of the man from the ground and examined it carefully with his fingers.

"Master, what's the situation? Is this man a member of the Taoist sects that deceive beings or is he someone else?" Li Huowang also knelt down and carefully examined the fresh corpse. He didn't think that someone who had struck it rich would be so easily killed by him.

"May Buddha forgive me, I was wrong. Let's go, Li Huowang." Heart Devotee Monk threw the head in his hand and stood up, turning around to leave.
