Chapter 326

Juexin angrily cursed, anyway since the Dao Yi Sect arrived, he damn well hasn't had a single peaceful day.

Just as his words hadn't yet faded, suddenly, the terrifying battle aftermath disappeared.

"Huh???"

He frowned, quickly extended his Divine Sense to investigate, and the next second Juexin froze in place.

On the battlefield of Shi Song and Jueyuan, there were now more than just the two of them—Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and Zhāng Tiānzhèn had also joined.

The four surrounded Jueyuan and unleashed a round of circular kicks, kicking while turning and cursing at the same time.

"We haven't settled the score from last time in Yanfeng Country, and you just walked right into our door?"

"What, you think this is Putuo Temple and we brother disciples wouldn't dare mess with you?"

"Even if the Buddha himself came today, we wouldn't let you leave."

"No point wasting words on him, just get him—this bald donkey has repeatedly snatched our female master from me, I can't let him live."

Facing the frantic ganging up of Hong Zun and his three brother disciples, Jueyuan had no strength to fight back, was beaten and fled clutching his head, screaming miserably.

"Shi Song, don't bully people too much."

"Damn, you still dare to talk back? Qing Shi, hook him."

"Look at the hook."

"Qing Shi, holy shit, your grandpa."

A hook caught him, and immediately the four brother disciples swarmed forward; meanwhile, around the battlefield there was a formation that blocked those battle aftereffects.

Without a doubt, this was Zhāng Tiānzhèn's doing.

Seeing such a miserable scene, Juexin also stopped his cursing, instantly flashing toward the battlefield, fearing that if he arrived any later, Jueyuan would be killed outright by those four guys.

At the same time, many disciples gathered at the Dao Yi Sect's encampment, and under the leadership of Inner Disciples like Zhao Zhengping, they hurried to the battlefield.

"Shī xiōng, are we going to fight again?"

A disciple spoke up, and upon hearing it, Shī xiōng replied without the slightest fear.

"What's there to fear? We've all recovered; worst case, we go all out—the Peak Masters have already made a move."

The disciples themselves didn't understand what was going on today; anyway, Hong Zun and his lot suddenly launched an attack.

Since the Peak Masters have taken action, how could we disciples just stand by and do nothing?

Together with Zhao Zhengping and a few others, Ye Zhangqing asked with a puzzled expression.

"Why are we fighting again?"

"I don't know, but it looks like Jueyuan is causing some trouble; otherwise, why would he show up there in the middle of the night?"

The battlefield is not far from the residence of Juéqíng Shītài, and Jueyuan obviously does not live here.

And showing up here late at night surely isn't just for a stroll.

The disciples rushed to the battlefield, where Jueyuan, already beaten black and blue, was now glaring viciously at Shi Song.

Facing that gaze, Shi Song's eyes also brimmed with killing intent.

He slowly raised his great sword, and seeing this, Hong Zun hurried forward to grab him.

"Shī xiōng, what are you doing?"

"Finish him off."

Huh???

"You're really doing this?" Hong Zun blinked, but fortunately Juexin and the others arrived just in time, shouting from afar.

"Stop."

He rushed forward to shield Jueyuan, took a look at the utterly miserable Jueyuan, and Juexin frowned as he spoke.

"What's going on?"

"This guy ran over to our place in the dead of night; I suspect he harbors ill intentions."

Hong Zun said this without hesitation, while Jueyuan angrily retorted.

"Nonsense, this old monk came here for................"

Having only spoken halfway, he didn't know how to go on; the things Juexin couldn't tell anyone, not even his senior brothers.

But if he didn't say that, what else could he say?

Seeing Jueyuan hem and haw, unable to give a reason, Hong Zun grew even more aggressive.

"Look, you can't even explain yourself clearly, Abbot Juexin—this junior disciple of yours definitely has a problem; I suggest you lot at Putuo Temple investigate thoroughly; he might be a demonic cultivator's spy."

"You're talking nonsense; this old monk is of pure lineage, having entered Putuo Temple since childhood—how could I be a demonic cultivator's spy?"

"Who knows, maybe."

"You're defaming me."

"Oh, then tell me—why did you come to the Dao Yi Sect's encampment in the dead of night?"

"I........... I just came out for a stroll, okay? This is Putuo Temple—I can go wherever I want."

Jueyuan had difficulty speaking, and seeing him struggle to defend himself, Hong Zun stopped talking and instead gave Juexin a mocking look.

That expression seemed to say, "Abbot, do you believe your junior disciple's lies that could fool a three-year-old?"

Facing Hong Zun's gaze, Juexin's mouth twitched, and he coldly shouted at the still-chattering Jueyuan who wanted to explain.

"Shut up."

Having said that, he turned his head to Hong Zun and said.

"Fellow Daoists, this is merely a misunderstanding; Jueyuan certainly harbors no ill intent, and if there has been any offense, I hope you will be forgiving."

"Alright, but Abbot, you'd better be careful from now on—running over in the middle of the night is pretty scary."

"Don't worry, there definitely won't be a next time."

Fortunately, this incident didn't escalate, and afterward both sides went their separate ways.

Hong Zun and the others were fine, but Juexin, after leading the strongmen of Putuo Temple back to the main hall, looked at the bruised and swollen-faced Jueyuan and asked.

"What on earth are you up to? Running off to someone's place in the middle of the night to do what? Didn't I already tell you not to provoke the Dao Yi Sect?"

The reason they endured in silence was entirely because the situation at the time made it impossible to explain clearly.

Jueyuan appearing there was inherently problematic.

Faced with Juexin's scolding, Jueyuan's eyes filled with raging hatred as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"I sensed that the Heart of Absolute Emotion was shattered, and out of concern I went to check, but who knew that Shi Song would block me halfway."

Huh???

That explanation was somewhat plausible, but upon hearing it, Juexin and the others all furrowed their brows slightly.

"How do you know the Heart of Absolute Emotion is shattered?"

Nobody else present noticed, unless they had continuously diverted a portion of their Divine Sense to monitor the Absolute Emotion Master.

But why was Jueyuan paying attention to the Absolute Emotion Master? Could it be................

It seemed they had guessed something, as Juexin and the others' gazes toward Jueyuan changed, and someone even spoke solemnly.

"Jueyuan junior, our Buddhist sect emphasizes that all four are empty; how can you entertain such desire? Your Buddhist cultivation is still lacking."

"Sigh, everyone knows that the Absolute Emotion Master is Shi Song's vital point; why go through this, junior?"

I'm not, I didn't............

Faced with the consolation of his fellow senior brothers, Jueyuan wore the look of having eaten a fly—he truly despised the Absolute Emotion Master.

But regarding his explanation, the senior brothers clearly didn't believe it, and Juehui spoke up directly.

"If you don't like her, why were you so nervous in the middle of the night doing something to her, and even kept a strand of Divine Sense locked on her?"

"Junior, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you should stop thinking about the Absolute Emotion Master; with Shi Song around, you can't win."

"I really don't like the Absolute Emotion Master, truly I don't."

Jueyuan only felt that he was like mud falling into his pants—whether it's feces or not, it's still feces, and he can't explain it at all.
