Before Lu Chen even reached the Buddhist Hall, he felt a few familiar auras speeding towards him. He was stunned for a moment before stopping to wait for the arrival of these people.

"Lu Chen, little friend, you finally came back. This old man has been waiting for you." Seeing Lu Chen, Fa Xu Yin who was standing in front and waiting for them, let out a sigh of relief as he came forward and smiled.

"Senior is too polite." Lu Chen bowed and said with a smile.

"Lu Chen, my friend, I can see that your aura is unstable. Are you injured?" Wan Nan observed Lu Chen carefully and discovered that something was wrong with his body.

"Yes, I've suffered some minor injuries, but they're all fine now." Lu Chen said.

"Since you're injured, my friend Lu Chen, and you must be exhausted recently, let's go back and rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Xu Yin said.

Lu Chen did not object. On top of that, he really did need to recuperate. At the same time, he wanted to recover the spiritual energy in his body. Thus, he followed the three of them back to the Golden Buddha Academy.

After sending Lu Chen to his arranged residence, Fan Yu returned to the buddhist buddhist hall to discuss things with the duo.

"Martial Uncle Fan, Martial Uncle Wan, we have arranged everything for Fellow Lu." Fan Yu came back and respectfully said.

Fanshawe nodded to indicate for Wan Nan to ask.

"Did you sense the aura of the Golden Buddha from little friend Lu Chen?" Wan Nan asked.

"This, disciple, didn't feel it." Fan Yu hesitated before saying.

Wan Nan nodded and said, "Yes, I know. Fan Yu, you should go back and rest."

Fan Yu heard the meaning behind Wan Nan's words and left.

Wan Nan said after seeing Fan Yu leave: "I wonder if little friend Lu Chen has found the Golden Buddha?"

"If he did, I don't think he would hand it over so easily. Furthermore, that kid Fan Yu seems a little unwilling to return to the Cloudsoaring sect." Xu Yin sighed.

"Fan Yu, that child, is very ambitious. In addition, the Golden Buddha Academy has been developing greatly under his care for the past few years. Although he is unwilling, his return to the Lingyun Sect is our destiny. It is unavoidable." Wan Nan said.

"Forget it. I just hope that nothing unexpected happens again." Xu Yin said.

After that, the buddhist temple fell into a state of silence.

When the Devil Sect's Xing Yun and Xun Yun arrived at Devil's Execution Cliff, they saw that the door to Feng Xing's cultivation room was wide open, and they could not sense Feng Xing's Qi. With a bit of luck, Xun Yun and Xing Yun entered the cultivation room and saw Feng Xing sitting on his bed with his eyes closed, looking as if he had fallen asleep.

"Senior Feng." Xun Yun carefully called out, but what responded was only silence. Xun Yun went forward to check Xing's pulse and heartbeat. After he finished, he immediately froze in place. He couldn't help but believe that Feng Xing had truly died.

"Martial Uncle Xun, Martial Uncle Feng, he …" Xing Yun asked.

"Senior Feng, he passed away in meditation." Xun Yun opened his mouth and spoke for a long time. It was difficult for him to admit this fact, and he also knew that the Devil Sect had reached a life or death situation.

When he thought of how the Heavenly Ghost Academy only lacked a single Soul Formation cultivator, and how the Devil Sect itself had not recovered from the turmoil of the previous period of time, and now that they had lost their Sect Master and the Spirit Transformation Elder, Xing Yun seemed to have seen the Heavenly Ghost Manor's events happen to the Devil Sect, and how the Devil Sect had been burnt to ashes. Thinking of how Xing Yun's entire body was covered in cold sweat, and also the fear that had been born from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that if the other sects were to find out what had happened to the Devil Sect, they would not mind robbing and exterminating the Devil Sect. The Heavenly Ghost Courtyard was just an example. When he thought of the Heavenly Ghost Courtyard, Xun Yun had an idea.

"Yun'er." Xun Yun said.

"Martial Uncle Xun." Xing Yun recovered from his daze and respectfully said.

"Yun'er, pass on my order that you will temporarily take over the position of Sect Master during the breakthrough period of Tianya's seclusion." Xun Yun said.

"What? Martial Uncle Xun, could it be that the Sect Leader's death is not allowed for the disciples to know?" Xing Yun asked.

"We can't let our disciples know about this, even Brother Feng has to be hidden from us. As for those who know about this, you know what to do." Xun Yun's eyes turned cold as he said this.

Xing Yun immediately understood Xun Yun's intentions, but he still worriedly said, "But Martial Uncle Xun, this matter cannot be concealed for too long. I'm afraid."

"I know what your concerns are, but right now, there is a very good opportunity for the various sects to divert their attention." Xun Yun said.

"What chance? Disciple doesn't understand. " Xing Yun asked.

"Yun'er, you are usually very smart too, but this time you are actually confused. Have you forgotten that the various sects are currently stationed at the Heavenly Ghost Courtyard?" Xun Yun said.

Xing Yun immediately understood Xun Yun's meaning. He immediately said, "Disciple understands. Disciple will now arrange matters within the sect. In a few days, I will depart to the Heavenly Ghost Courtyard to fight against the other sects."

Xun Yun nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "But before you go to the Heavenly Ghost Academy, I think it's best if you visit the people from the Golden Buddha Academy and the Orthodox Academy. After all, the more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it is for us."

With a bow, Xing Yun respectfully left to have his trusted aides secretly execute the disciples guarding the nameplate, together with Bian Jian and the others, before summoning the Nascent Soul and Jindan Stage cultivators within the sect to convey Xun Yun's intentions.

"Sect Leader Fan, Elder Fan, and Elder Wan greet you." Lu Chen woke up early and went to the Buddhist Hall to meet Fan Yu and the others.

After a night of recuperation, the spiritual energy in his body had basically recovered and his injuries were healed. He had the thought of thinking carefully about how he should explain it to the people of the Golden Buddha Academy in order not to cause a ruckus.

"Greetings, little friend Lu Chen. I wonder how little friend Lu Chen is recovering?" Xu Yin asked, "Elder Xie Fan, I've basically recovered from the night in your sect. The reason I'm here today is to talk about the Golden Buddha." Lu Chen said.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lu found the Golden Buddha?" Fan Yu excitedly asked. Regarding that rumor, he had always thought it was because the bored man did not take it seriously. However, seeing how they linked the matter of the Golden Buddha with the future prospects of the Golden Buddha Academy, he knew that the Golden Buddha was real.

"Yes, I did not disappoint you. That golden Buddha has indeed been found." After Lu Chen finished speaking, a five-inch tall golden Buddha slowly emerged from the center of his palm. "Let's go." Lu Chen pointed at the golden Buddha.

The golden buddha slowly landed on the ground, simultaneously growing bigger and regaining the size it was when Lu Chen first saw it. Its entire body was emitting a soft golden light.

When Fan Yu and the other two felt the golden light emitted from the golden Buddha's body, they realized that they had gained a higher level of comprehension towards buddhist arts. The areas that they previously didn't understand suddenly became clear.

Fan Yu and the other two opened their eyes in pleasant surprise as they looked at the golden Buddha, and the desire in their eyes was not concealed at all.

"Gentlemen, may I ask if the Golden Buddha you are looking for is this one?" Lu Chen asked.

"Hahaha, little friend Lu Chen, the Golden Buddha that we are looking for is this one. It's all thanks to you this time." Wan Nan was the first to react.

"Elder Fan, you've already confirmed it. It is now time for me to activate my slave seal." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"This." Xu Yin and Wan Nan looked at each other and said, "Then I'll be troubling Little Friend Lu Chen." Xu Yin said.

Lu Chen nodded his head and took out the Token that Ling Ba had left behind from his bosom, "Everything in the world, the Tao techniques are endless, and the slave seal is broken." Lu Chen chanted an incantation in his heart and reached out his hand. The Token emitted a faint white light, which slowly rose to a height of above and ignored the roof of the buddhist buddhist hall. It went through the wall and onto the outside.

Half a day later, the medallion had shrunk back to Lu Chen's hand. Lu Chen put it away and asked with a smile: "How do you guys feel?"

"This old man feels like the binding feeling has completely disappeared. Little friend Lu Chen, thank you." Xu Yin said excitedly.

Lu Chen smiled faintly, not saying anything. Instead, he was waiting for Fan Yu and Wan Nan to express their stance.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the Golden Buddha Academy owes you a huge favor this time. Not only did they help us find the Golden Buddha, they even helped us remove our slave seals. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Lu wants us to repay you?" Fan Yu said.

Xu Yin and Wan Nan furrowed their brows. They knew that Fan Yu was still unwilling to return to the Cloudsoaring sect. Wan Nan was just about to speak, when Lu Chen spoke first.

"Sect Master Fan is too polite. However, when he took out the golden Buddha, this junior forgot to mention that the golden Buddha actually had a spirit artifact. Back then, this junior had acted on his own in order to bring the golden Buddha back, so the spirit artifact acknowledged him as its master. Lu Chen said indifferently.

The threat in Lu Chen's words was very obvious. Originally, if he had not felt this Golden Buddha's ability before, he would have said that it was okay and let Lu Chen bring this Golden Buddha away, but now that he knew that the Golden Buddha could help them improve their cultivation of buddhist arts, he would not let Lu Chen bring this Golden Buddha away just like that.

"Young friend Lu Chen, you're too polite, you're already a benefactor of our Golden Buddha Academy for risking our lives to find the Golden Buddha, not to mention that you brought the Golden Buddha back and removed the slave seal for us. We, the Golden Buddha Academy, would not allow such empty words to come out of our mouths even if we did what we initially said." Wan Nan smiled and said. He didn't believe that Lu Chen would hand over the Golden Buddha to them so easily. After all, he had heard of Lu Chen's shrewdness before. How could someone as astute as him make such a mistake?

When Fan Yu heard Wan Nan's words, he immediately understood that Wan Nan wanted to fulfill his promise and allow the Golden Buddha Academy to return to the Lingyun Sect. His heart was filled with unwillingness, and he was about to open his mouth and plead.

"Elder Wan, thank you for your understanding. As for the return of the Golden Buddha Academy to the Lingyun School, this junior temporarily does not want to discuss it because this junior knows that the Golden Buddha Academy has already been independent for so long. I also do not want the disciples who say that they want to belong to the Lingyun School." Lu Chen said.

"This." Fan Yu and the other two were immediately at a loss because Lu Chen had said that he wanted the Golden Buddha Academy to return to the Lingyun Sect. That was also the reason why Lu Chen had gone looking for the Golden Buddha.

"Lu Chen, little friend, this is the agreement between you and me. We must abide by it." Xu Yin said.

"Elder Fan, this junior truly admires you for keeping your promise. However, this junior is also unwilling to force others into a difficult situation. However, this junior also has a request." Lu Chen said.

"What request?" Fan Yu asked.

"It's just that in the future, Sky Dragon Continent might fall into chaos. I only hope that the Golden Buddha Academy can stand by the side of the Lingyun Sect and help them. I am extremely grateful." Lu Chen said.

Wan Nan and Xu Yin glanced at each other. Although they did not participate in the battles on Sky Dragon Continent, it was still embarrassing for them to refuse. Wan Nan said, "Alright, we'll agree to Little Friend Lu Chen's request."

"Thank you, seniors." Lu Chen smiled.
