Chapter 578

At this moment, the four Putuo Temple Saints facing Fairy Baihua all had ugly expressions.

As fellow Saints, they naturally knew of Fairy Baihua.

In the past, this woman was a god of slaughter who made people tremble at the mere mention of her name.

Among the many powerhouses of the Dao One Sect, if one were to ask whose hands were stained with the most blood, there was no doubt it was this woman before them.

With a gulp, they swallowed their saliva involuntarily; facing Fairy Baihua, the pressure on these four Putuo Temple Saints was immense.

Taking a step forward, her figure instantly appeared before the four of them.

The long sword in her hand thrust out like lightning, directly piercing through one of the Saints.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing this, the other three Saints struck simultaneously, their various Buddhist arts attacking Fairy Baihua frantically.

But facing such an onslaught, Fairy Baihua ignored it entirely, choosing to take the hits head-on.

Terrifying spiritual power raged wildly, but after a round of attacks, Fairy Baihua withstood it through sheer force, while simultaneously launching a counterattack.

Her target had been locked onto the same person from beginning to end; kill one first, then worry about the rest.

Facing Fairy Baihua's locked-on killing intent, the Saint's heart sank, and he immediately intended to retreat.

But the result was that he could not shake off Fairy Baihua at all, and could only watch helplessly as her sword edge struck his body.

"In a life-and-death struggle, if you fear, you die."

Her words no longer held their usual gentleness, but were filled with killing intent. Upon hearing this, the Putuo Temple Saint was truly chilled to the bone.

The battle situation reversed in an instant. Juexin had thought that capturing the disciples of the Divine Jianfeng and Jade Maiden Peak would not be a difficult task, but now, he felt very much like he was riding a tiger and could not get off.

Are these lunatics willing to die in battle rather than bow their heads even once?

It was not that Putuo Temple could not defeat the disciples of the two Dao One Sect peaks; fighting until now, Putuo Temple could not be said to have exhausted all their powerhouses.

He noticed that quite a few people had gathered around, all of them from other major sects.

"Has this Dao One Sect really gone to war with the Buddhist sect?"

"That's impossible, right? There wasn't a single sign."

"Should we intervene?"

"Wait a little longer."

If the Dao One Sect really went to war with the Buddhist sect, the impact would be too great; the entire landscape of the Eastern Continent would undergo a massive change.

Do not forget, the most terrifying aspect of the Buddhist sect is the number of their believers among the common folk.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Zun, wait a moment..."

At this moment, Juexin, who had just withstood a sword strike from Hong Zun, shouted loudly.

"Enough nonsense, bald donkey, pay with your life!"

"Madman."

Cursing under his breath, Juexin still suppressed his anger and said,

"Brother Hong Zun, even if we are to fight, we must at least understand why we are fighting. Please, calm down first."

After hesitating for a moment, Juexin gave up the idea of continuing the fight.

Not to mention the cost of capturing the Divine Jianfeng and Jade Maiden Peak, if the disciples of these two peaks were to die at their Putuo Temple, the reaction of the Dao One Sect could be imagined.

It is estimated that at that point, the Dao One Sect would truly go insane.

As a sect that is like a hornet's nest, even if you killed a single servant disciple on a normal day, the Dao One Sect would come to demand an explanation.

Just like before, when a Dao One Sect servant disciple was killed while out.

The Dao One Sect directly dispatched several Elders to investigate, and eventually discovered it was the work of demonic cultivators.

According to a normal sect, the matter would end there; after all, the other party had hidden back in their forbidden grounds, so what could you do?

But the Dao One Sect? They directly mobilized a Peak Master, stormed the forbidden grounds, and forcibly compelled that demonic sect to hand over the culprit, or else they would go to war.

In the end, that demonic sect had no choice but to hand over the murderer.

In the Eastern Continent, almost all cultivators know that Dao One Sect disciples cannot be killed casually, otherwise, it will certainly invite the Dao One Sect's insane retaliation.

That is the case even for a servant disciple; if you, damn it, kill people from two of their peaks, what do you think the Dao One Sect will do?

Furthermore, Hong Zun and Fairy Baihua are the Junior Brother and Junior Sister of Qi Xiong.

If you capture them as hostages, there is still room to talk, and because of the Dao One Sect's temperament, they might even make concessions.

But if you fail to capture them and end up killing them all, that is an entirely different situation.

At that point, there would likely be no need to talk at all; just wait for the other thirty-four peaks of the Dao One Sect to storm over, and that would be the end of it.

Therefore, Juexin chose to give up.

Hearing Juexin's words, Hong Zun replied coldly.

"Bald donkey, it was clearly you who made the first move."

"I... this monk saw Fellow Daoist Shi Song make the first move, which is why I arrived."

"Hmph, then why did you make a move?"

"This monk does not know."

Juexin truly did not know; he only saw Shi Song and Jue Hui engaged in a fierce fight, so he assumed the Dao One Sect wanted to attack the Buddhist sect, and decided to play along, planning to capture Hong Zun and the others.

Hearing this, Hong Zun frowned and said,

"Is that all?"

Hmm???

Looking at Hong Zun's expression, Juexin was stunned, and could not help but guess in his heart: Could it be that the Dao One Sect had no intention of attacking the Buddhist sect? Was it a misunderstanding? ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
