Chapter 374

And you lot, Hong Zun, Shi Song, your Dao Yi Sect is indeed despicable and shameless, secretly colluding with the Fomen, deliberately scheming against our sect, right?

What a fine tactic you have, but our sect will absolutely not yield.

Beside him, Su Luoxing furiously shouted his accusations; in response, Hong Zun, Shi Song, and the others all wore speechless expressions.

What scheme have we cooked up against you? From the very start, it's been you jumping around happily all by yourself.

From beginning to end, Hong Zun and his lot never intended to do anything; rather, Su Luoxing has been the one stirring up trouble all along.

Even in the end, it was Su Luoxing who struck first; now that he hasn't won, he actually turns around and bites back.

What does it mean to collude with the Fomen? The Fomen are willing to act on their own; what business is that of my Dao Yi Sect?

They simply couldn't be bothered to deal with him, and at this moment Juexin also stepped forward, addressing everyone present.

Esteemed ones, I happen to have an announcement to make here.

Huh???

What is the Fomen going to announce? Upon hearing this, people from the various sects all became interested.

Indeed, the Fomen's actions today are somewhat strange.

Amid everyone's curiosity, Juexin waved his hand, and instantly the Fomen powerhouses who had come from the West Continent were all brought up, each of them, like Su Luoxing, tightly bound.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

No, what does it mean for the Fomen to bind their own people? Moreover, those are the West Continent Fomen powerhouses; hasn't your Putuo Temple always taken its lead from the West Continent Fomen?

Juexin's move left everyone completely bewildered.

Under the doubtful gazes of the crowd, Juexin spoke loudly.

From today onward, my Putuo Temple formally severs ties with the West Continent Fomen and is willing to become a subsidiary of the Dao Yi Sect, forever maintaining friendly relations with the Dao Yi Sect.

Huh???

The already puzzled crowd, upon hearing this, were practically about to explode.

What did they hear? Putuo Temple breaking away from the West Continent Fomen? And even becoming a subsidiary of the Dao Yi Sect?

This is completely beyond everyone's expectations; no, has Juexin lost his mind?

How could they suddenly break away from the West Continent and then... cooperate with the Dao Yi Sect? No, that can't even be called cooperation; it's outright submission.

Didn't you hear Juexin say he's willing to become a subsidiary of the Dao Yi Sect?

The West Continent Fomen powerhouses, upon hearing this, were furious, glaring at Juexin and wishing they could tear him apart.

He actually really defected from the West Continent Fomen?

A traitor—he is practically the disgrace of their Fomen.

They frantically wanted to struggle, but with Juexin and others present, those West Continent Fomen powerhouses couldn't move at all.

Without regard for the shock of those present, after his words fell, Juexin turned his head to look at Shi Song and Hong Zun.

Shi Song, Dao friend, do you think we should contact Sect Master Qi Xiong?

Whether the two sects join forces or Putuo Temple submits, Sect Master Qi Xiong's approval is certainly required.

Upon hearing this, Shi Song said nothing more, directly taking out the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán to contact Qi Xiong.

Soon, the Formation connected, and Qi Xiong appeared within the Formation Light Curtain, looking at Shi Song with a puzzled expression.

What's up, Junior Brother?

Senior Brother, Abbot Juexin has something to say to you.

I had forgotten to tell Qi Xiong about this earlier, but it's also a good thing—just consider it a surprise for the Senior Brother.

But Qi Xiong wondered, isn't today the day of the Myriad Buddha Grand Assembly? Why isn't Juexin holding the Myriad Buddha Grand Assembly, and why is he contacting me for no reason?

Looking at Juexin standing beside Shi Song, just as Qi Xiong was about to speak, suddenly a furious shout rang out.

The voice was filled with anger and resentment.

Qi Xiong, you despicable villain, you have schemed against me.

I will certainly not let this matter go.

Qi Xiong, you haven't released me yet; do you intend to kill me?

Qi Xiong, quickly release me.

The successive shouts left Qi Xiong bewildered; following the sound, he discovered it was Su Luoxing tightly bound.

Seeing the utterly miserable sight of Su Luoxing bound like a zongzi, Qi Xiong's eyelid twitched—how is it this guy again, and why is he so miserable?

After all, he is a sect master and one of the four great sects; can't Su Luoxing show a bit of a sect master's dignity?

Every time I see him, he's either tied up or coughing up blood from anger; what are you doing to him?

Su Brother, what is this............

Qi Xiong, stop putting on an act here; you're scheming against me again.

Huh???

What scheme have I cooked up against you? Qi Xiong is completely dazed; lately he's been staying inside the sect, never going out—what could he possibly scheme?

Su Brother, what do you mean by this?

Hmph, stop pretending to be innocent here; it's you, you who allied with the Fomen and secretly schemed against me—I won't let this rest.

Joining forces with the Fomen?

The more he spoke, the less understandable it became; seeing Qi Xiong's puzzled expression, Su Luoxing couldn't help but roar.

What are you standing there for? Hurry up and release me.

I... I am in the sect.

Frowning, one wonders if this old fellow's condition is getting worse—listen, he's starting to spout nonsense.

How am I supposed to release him? Qi Xiong is in the Dao Yi Sect; by the time we get to Putuo Temple, the yellow flowers will be cold.

Let Hong Zun and them let me go.

Su Luoxing continued to roar; hearing that, Qi Xiong's face turned strange as he looked at Hong Zun and the others, his mouth twitching as he spoke.

What did you do?

Senior brother, it was he who started it; it's none of our business.

In response, Hong Zun spread his hands and said, this matter definitely cannot be blamed on himself; obviously it was Su Luoxing who brought death upon himself.

They were merely defending themselves.

What nonsense are you still spouting, Qi Xiong? Hurry up and have them release him.

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

Having heard Su Luoxing's angry curses, Qi Xiong no longer knew what to say.

This old fogey really is getting worse with age; even Hong Zun and them can't handle him, and he was outright tied up?

Before, he could at least compete with me a bit; or rather, since their youth, Qi Xiong and Su Luoxing have always been rivals.

In their youth, Su Luoxing could still contend with Qi Xiong for superiority.

Later, though gradually suppressed, he could at least still jump around a bit.

But now, how the hell can even Hong Zun press him to the ground and rub him?

In response, Qi Xiong could only sigh from the heart, 'Time truly spares no one.'

Look, you've actually forced a young Heavenly Pride to this point.

Not to mention his white hair, his methods are also getting worse and worse.

He let out a light sigh, and Qi Xiong spoke with a complex expression.

Hong Zun, junior brother, let him go.

After all, they've known each other a lifetime; moreover, Su Luoxing at this moment is indeed pitiful to the extreme, so Qi Xiong still had Hong Zun release him.

Upon hearing that, Hong Zun also didn't refuse; he had just untied the rope when this Su Luoxing leapt up, wanting to pounce on Hong Zun, his eyes extremely blood-red.

Hong Zun, I'll kill you.

But before he could reach Hong Zun, Jué Xīn and the others swarmed forward, with a slap, pressing him down to the ground again.

Impudent!

Being held down tightly by a crowd of monks, Su Luoxing struggled wildly, but to no avail, his cultivation still not released.

Qi Xiong, Qi Xiong, Qi Xiong................

Being held down, Su Luoxing struggled wildly while continuously shouting Qi Xiong's name.
