Chapter 534: 22. Ksitigarbha Sutra, Fourth Killing Tribulation

Translator: 549690339

“Daddy …”

Yu Long seemed to have seen an illusion as she muttered these two words. Her face revealed a calm expression, and two streams of tears fell from the corners of her eyes …

However, he could no longer hold on. The mysterious power finally climbed up to his head.

After reciting a few lines, he died.

He had already turned into a thousand-year-old skeleton after reciting half of the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

The air shook slightly, and he turned into dust, covered in a single layer of white ash.

Xia Ji continued to recite quietly. He only took a deep breath after he finished reading the entire book, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Is this the so-called white-haired people send black-haired people away?

“Thank you,” Du Bai said as he walked out.

“What happened?”

“Qi Yu, come with me. I’ll talk to you,” Bai Su said.

The two of them walked in the oppressive sect.

“There have been many cases of missing people in Fenghe Village in recent years, and many disciples have gone missing.

Half a year ago, the Sword Rain Sect, which was more than two hundred miles away from Sealed River Village, had actually disappeared.

Therefore, the sect master and the two elders went to the periphery of the Sword Rain Sect to investigate, and only the sect master escaped..

The sect master said that it was an indescribable tide. There were many skeletons in the tide, and these skeletons only killed extraordinary humans. However, we were unable to kill these skeletons. There was a strange black membrane on their bodies, and no attack could break through that black membrane…

The sect master said that this might be a new killing tribulation, but he didn’t know where the opportunity was. He only said that we should avoid the black tide and find an opportunity for this tribulation at the same time.

Because if they couldn’t find an opportunity, everyone would die and all the sects would be destroyed.

The path of cultivation was the path of longevity. It was against the heavens. If the heavens wanted you to be a mortal, then you would be a mortal forever. If mortals were in trouble, they could hide, but cultivators could not… This is a tribulation, a tribulation for teacher, and also for us.”

After Bai Su finished speaking, she started crying.

Xia Ji didn’t take the opportunity to hug her and comfort her. He didn’t have a handkerchief, so he sat beside Bai Su and waited for her to finish crying before suddenly saying, “”1’11 go with you guys next time.”

“But this is the Myriad Sword Sect’s investigation…However, it should be fine. I’ll talk to the elders.” Bai Su wiped away her tears, ” As for the sect leader, I won’t be choosing him for now. Whoever can solve this problem and let the Wan Jian House gain a foothold in this new killing calamity will be the sect leader.

It was a pity that the Great Aunt had not woken up from her nightmare.

Otherwise, it would be great if she was in charge of the overall situation.

By the way, how was your cultivation in the Little Mountain River Relic in the past half year?”

“No progress, ” Xia Ji replied.

Bai Su revealed a stunned expression. She vaguely remembered that she had broken through to the First Heaven in half a year.

Night fell.

Xia Ji didn’t read.

He sat in front of the cliff, looking up at the sea of stars and looking down at the sea of clouds. In the distance, the sword wheels were moving back and forth. It was the disciples of the Wan Jian House coming and going.

A voice suddenly came from behind him.

“Your Highness is truly a person who values friendship. I apologize for my rudeness when we first met.”

A man in white walked to the edge of the cliff and sat beside him.

“Do you want to drink?”

“Yes.”

Du Bai took out two jars of wine.

Although he had called his junior brother a good-for-nothing before, he was only a little irritable with his words. When something happened to his junior brother and he died, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Du Bai removed the seal and drank the liquor. He then put it down and asked with slightly red eyes, “”Your Highness, are you curious as to why Junior Brother wants you to recite the scriptures?”

Without waiting for the fifteen-year-old prince to speak, he said directly,

“”Because Your Highness is like a person.”

As he said that, Du Bai sighed and smiled, “Let’s not talk about this…”

‘ Mr. Du, ” Xia Ji suddenly said, ” has it ever occurred to you that if that person was still alive, he would also wish for you to do good and strive for self-improvement? ”

Du Bai looked at him in astonishment. His brows slowly furrowed, but they finally calmed down.

The two of them drank all night.

After a few days, the Wan Jian House was truly on guard against a formidable enemy, and they split up into many small teams.

Each team had their own mission.

The basic method was to go to the subordinate mortal world countries and send out a lot of spies through the imperial power. They would cast a wide net to obtain information, then analyze and select information points before investigating.

Of course, there were also those who acted freely and searched alone.

This was the team that had gone out.

However, the sect also needed people to guard it.

Especially after knowing that the Wan Jian House’s sect master had died, many rogue cultivators and other sects might join forces to take advantage of your weakness and invade the mountain.

Thus, Du Bai remained on the mountain. With him around, the sect was as stable as a mountain.

Fairy Nongxiao had already recovered.

Xia Ji was no longer viewed as an enemy. The Da Qi royal family and the Wan Jian House did not have many entanglements. In addition, Yu Long had given some instructions before her death, so Xia Ji was viewed as one of the Wan Jian House to a certain extent. Other than the sect opening, he was even allowed to enter the Small Mountain River Ruins.

Xia Ji formed a small team to investigate the situation. Information from the Wan Jian House would be helpful to him.

Just before they set off, the little girl they had met on the arch bridge found the leader.

This little girl was called Dai Meng. She was also born into a noble family and lived in a city near Fenghe Village. Because she was familiar with that generation, the Wan Jian House brought her along.

There were five people in a team, and Xia Ji’s team also had Bai Su, Dai Meng, and Fairy Nongxiao.

Apart from that, there was also a male cultivator called Chun Shanjun who could control the 12 sword wheels.

Chun Shanjun was also Yu Long’s disciple. He looked unusually calm, and his sword wheel was rather special. It was extremely thin, and if one were to take a closer look, one would be able to detect that each sword was actually made up of countless sword threads. It must be some kind of fatal secret technique..
