Chapter 597: Cracking and Shattering

They were counting on asking the black demon ox about the whereabouts of the Divine Ox, but now it had been killed by Xu Jie in one sword strike.

Abbot Juexin glared with rage. To this, Xu Jie was quite calm.

"What does the Abbot mean by this?"

"I'm asking you what you are doing! Why did you kill it?"

"Is there a problem with that? For us cultivators, isn't it normal to slay demons and eliminate evil?"

"Moreover, this demon was bold enough to run wild in a Buddhist holy land; naturally, it could not be left alive."

After this explanation, Abbot Juexin was left speechless.

What he said was fine, but he just felt something was wrong.

Looking back and forth between Xu Jie and the black demon ox, finally, Abbot Juexin said.

"Search! We must find the Divine Ox. We must see the ox if it's alive, or its carcass if it's dead."

There was no point in saying anything else now; it was dead, so they had to find the Divine Ox first.

But hearing this, Xu Jie said weakly.

"Since this demon beast could break in here, the Divine Ox has likely already met with misfortune; it's highly probable we won't find it."

Hmm???

Hearing this, Juexin turned his head.

"What about the carcass?"

"It must have been eaten by this wicked creature."

According to Xu Jie, the Divine Ox was likely gone, and as for the carcass, it definitely wouldn't be found.

Hearing this, Abbot Juexin looked at the black demon ox with a strange expression, his mouth twitching wildly.

If he didn't want to worsen relations with the Dao One Sect, he would definitely give Xu Jie a slap. Are you kidding me?

This is a black demon ox, they are vegetarians! Do you think this old monk is a fool?

This wasn't just lying with eyes open; it was completely rubbing their intelligence on the ground.

His teeth gritted, but Xu Jie was not panicked at all and continued to spout nonsense.

"The Abbot might not know, but where in this world is there a demon race that doesn't eat meat? Even a demon ox is no exception."

Heh............

With a cold laugh, his eyes grew colder. Even so, if this black demon ox was so bold, why didn't it eat people directly?

Why leave so many people uneaten and come to eat an ordinary old green ox? Is that possible?

"I won't trouble you with this matter; my Putuo Temple will handle it ourselves. If there's nothing else, you may leave."

Too lazy to waste words with Xu Jie, he directly issued an order to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Jie didn't care and hoisted the black demon ox's carcass onto his shoulder. At this, Juexin was stunned again.

"What are you doing?"

"I killed this wicked creature, so its carcass naturally belongs to me."

"You............."

"What, does the Abbot have ideas about this carcass?"

"Get out."

This old monk endured it, gritting his teeth and spitting out a cold sentence. Hearing this, Xu Jie didn't get angry, put away the black demon ox's carcass, and left directly.

Seeing that Xu Jie not only smoothed over the matter but even brought back the black demon ox's carcass, Zhao Zhengping and the others were full of admiration. He really was a talent.

"Let's go, we have ingredients for tomorrow."

"Junior Brother did well."

"Senior Brother is amazing."

Returning to their residence in high spirits, but after Xu Jie and the others left, Ming Chen was quickly called before Juexin.

Facing his master and the experts of Putuo Temple, Ming Chen didn't hold out for long and soon confessed the truth. ===== CHAPTER 598 =====
