Chapter 323

This damn thing is still a cow demon.

Speaking of which, Xu Jie really had no way out; first, at Putuo Temple, movement was already inconvenient, and moreover he had to hide from those bald donkeys, making it even more troublesome.

He cautiously went out for a round, but still couldn't find a big blue ox that met the requirements.

In the end, with no other choice, Xu Jie could only pick a big black ox from among the Shòuchǒng to make up for it.

Anyway, they're both oxen, so let's just make do for now.

The big black ox was extremely depressed, and Mingchen on the other side was the same.

Since coming back, his heart has been in turmoil, he's been very worried.

'Brother Xu Jie's side should be fine, right?'

He muttered, 'If the abbot finds out his favorite divine ox is dead, he'll definitely get a scolding.'

However, things in this world sometimes work like that: the more you fear something, the more it comes.

At this moment, Abbot Juexin happened to arrive at the Divine Ox Dwelling.

As long as nothing is wrong, Abbot Juexin will come to the Divine Ox Dwelling to personally take care of the big blue ox and explain Buddhist teachings to it.

And the big blue ox listens attentively each time, which makes the abbot like it even more.

So, although it's just an ordinary livestock, to Abbot Juexin the big blue ox is practically like a half-disciple.

Just as usual, he pushed the door open and shouted with a smile on his face.

'Divine Ox, this old monk has come............ Holy shit, who are you?'

Just as his words left his mouth, Abbot Juexin saw the black ox demon in the pond, his eyes widening, his movement pausing.

'Abbot, I am the divine ox.'

Seeing this, the black ox demon spoke cautiously, but the sight of Kǒutù Rényán completely enraged Abbot Juexin.

'Impudence, what Yāoniè dares to run wild in my Putuo Temple? Say, where did you hide my temple's divine ox?'

As he spoke, a thick Buddhist light emanated from Abbot Juexin's whole body.

Faced with Abbot Juexin of Shèngjìng level, the black ox demon was instantly scared witless.

'Speak, where is my divine ox? Where did you hide it?'

Step by step he walked toward the black ox demon; unable to help it, the black ox demon swallowed and spoke weakly.

'I am the divine ox, Abbot............'

'Damn beast, seeking death.'

Saying that, Abbot Juexin struck out with a palm, but he also controlled his strength, not killing the black ox demon in one blow, instead sending it flying.

Glaring angrily, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

'Speak, where is my divine ox?'

'I........ I don't know............'

The black ox vomited blood, its face full of terror; it really didn't know where the divine ox had gone.

But Abbot Juexin simply didn't believe that.

This damn Putuo Temple—could the divine ox have run away on its own? It must be that this damned beast used some trick.

'Seeking death, in my Fomen holy land, you damned things dare to act recklessly?'

All along, Fomen and the Demon Race have been like water from different wells, never interfering, and they never take part in each other's great wars.

But unexpectedly, the Demon Race was so bold as to actually make the divine ox of his Putuo Temple disappear.

The more he thought, the more Abbot Juexin's killing intent rose, surging upward.

The terrifying aura swept across the sky, naturally drawing the attention of many.

For example, at the Dao Yi Sect's station, many disciples at this moment were looking toward the Divine Ox Dwelling, puzzled.

'What's going on?'

'I don't know.'

The disciples were unaware, only Xu Jie and a few others gathered together, with Zhao Zhengping frowning.

'Isn't that the direction of the Divine Ox Dwelling?'

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Xu Jie, full of suspicion.

'Junior Brother, are you sure there's no problem?'

Hearing that, Xu Jie also furrowed his brows slightly, staring blankly at the Divine Ox Dwelling direction.

'Looking at it now, there should be a problem.'

'You damn............'

'How did you guarantee it before, and now you come out with this?'

'So what do we do now?'

'Let's go take a look first.'

The Dao Yi Sect naturally wouldn't care about Putuo Temple's affairs, so Hong Zun and the others had no interest.

Only Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, Ye Zhangqing, Liu Shuang, Zhao Rou, Wang Yao and the other Inner Disciples sneaked out quietly.

'What are these guys up to?'

However, their movements naturally couldn't escape Hong Zun's eyes, but he also didn't bother to interfere, as long as no trouble was caused.

They ran all the way to the Divine Ox Dwelling; at this moment, many strong cultivators from Putuo Temple had already gathered inside, and when Xu Jie and the others arrived, they happened to bump into the hurriedly arriving Mingchen.

'Brother Xu Jie, what should we do now? We're definitely discovered.'

While they looked lost and helpless, Xu Jie, on the contrary, remained calm and said.

'Don't rush, let's first assess the situation.'

The more such a moment, the more we need to stay steady.

He sneakily looked toward the Divine Bull Residence courtyard, only to see a group of monks surrounding a black bull demon, with the leader Juexin still shouting angrily.

"Wicked creature, still not confessing honestly—where is my Putuo Temple's Divine Bull? What have you done with it?"

"I........... I don't know ah............."

Faced with such a scene, the black bull demon had already been frightened stupid, but it truly didn't know where the Divine Bull had gone, ah.

Beside Juexin, the other strong ones of Putuo Temple were all glaring angrily at this moment.

The Divine Bull is gone—this is absolutely a disgrace; if word gets out, does his Putuo Temple still want to keep its face?

"Speak, how did you show up here?"

"I................."

A demon beast appearing out of nowhere in the Divine Bull Residence is already problematic.

Faced with this questioning, the black bull demon was obviously hesitating.

If it spoke the truth, it would be betraying Xu Jie, and in the end it would still get nothing good.

But if it doesn't speak now, those bald donkeys will probably kill it right away.

So, after some hesitation, the black bull demon steeled itself and asked.

"If I tell you, will you let me go?"

"Damn, will you say it or not?"

"I'll say it."

Looking at the situation in the courtyard, Xu Jie's brows furrowed instantly—this wicked beast wanted to betray him.

"Damn, is this the Divine Bull you were looking for? The color is completely different."

Killing intent burst in his eyes; he didn't even hear what Zhao Zhengping beside him was saying.

With a turn of his eyes, Xu Jie walked straight into Yuàn zhōng under everyone's dumbfounded stare, this move leaving everyone stunned.

"Yo, what a lively scene—what's going on, venerable masters?"

Appearing completely clueless, he came before Juexin and the others; seeing this, Juexin glanced at Xu Jie without speaking, but instead an Elder beside them simply explained.

"Just a small matter—this wicked beast somehow sneaked into the Divine Bull Residence and hid our Putuo Temple's Divine Bull................."

Upon hearing the Elder's explanation, Xu Jie's gaze fell upon the black bull demon.

The moment Xu Jie appeared, the black bull demon had already been stunned; upon meeting his gaze, it almost felt a hint of killing intent.

"Abbot, save..............."

Without hesitation, he immediately shouted at Juexin, but Xu Jie was faster—without any warning, he thrust his sword.

He directly cut down the black bull demon on the spot.

This scene was completely beyond what Juexin and the others had expected; they were utterly unprepared, and at such close range, by the time Xu Jie acted, it was impossible to stop him.

Watching the black bull demon breathe its last, Xu Jie silently cursed.

"Wicked beast, still trying to betray me?"

Meanwhile, Juexin beside him stared dumbfounded, then, after regaining his senses, he roared angrily at Xu Jie.

"Damn, what are you doing?"
