Chapter 206 - 191 Divine Exorcist Great Sage
The Bashan Tiger, previously arrogant and domineering, fell into silence upon witnessing such a scene.
Gone was his haughty demeanor from before. Lin Fang merely let out a sigh and said, "Everyone, get up!"
Thus, when Lin Fang returned to Bailu Academy, he was followed by a mighty procession of monsters. Although ragged, there was a newfound vitality in them, and in their eyes sparkled the light of hope.
Lu Wenchang stared at the impressive troop, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
"These are?"
"They were the monsters forced into labor by the Flying Sky Great King. They have no home to return to and have decided to follow me from now on," Lin Fang said with a smile.
Lu Wenchang hadn’t expected Lin Fang to bring back such a vast number of monsters from his journey. But upon remembering that Lin Fang possessed a Cave Heaven Treasure, he came to a realization.
Better that way, considering the continuous wars plaguing Luzhou in the North, Lin Fang’s Cave Heaven Space was undoubtedly much safer.
These monsters with their low mana and frail races, living in this cruel world was bound to be precarious.
Following Lin Fang would at least make their lives a bit safer.
"What about the Flying Sky Great King?"
"He ran away!" Lin Fang said with a laugh.
"Ran away?" Lu Wenchang was puzzled. The Flying Sky Great King was supposed to be quite formidable, and he knew Lin Fang’s strength well enough to understand it wouldn’t be easy to escape from his presence.
"He had some very interesting things on him, so I did not chase after him," Lin Fang said with an enigmatic smile.
Meanwhile, the Flying Sky Great King, fleeing in panic, did not dare to stop for even a moment. He streaked across the sky and, after a while, arrived at a high mountain.
Atop the mountain stood an ancient-looking temple.
Tall pine trees surrounded the area, shadowing the sunlight and giving the temple an eerie appearance.
Inside the temple was an idol resembling a monkey, with offerings placed on a table before it.
The Flying Sky Great King landed before the temple, shedding his previous cruel demeanor and becoming cautious.
He peeked into the empty temple and said softly, "Great Saint, are you there? This little demon, Flying Sky, seeks an audience."
His voice lingered in the empty temple, but there was no response.
Seeing this, the Flying Sky Great King let out a sigh and muttered to himself, "It seems the Great Saint isn’t home."
Just then, the monkey idol on the offering table came to life.
"Why have you come here?" A majestic voice filled the temple, seeming to carry a mysterious power.
Upon hearing this, a sycophantic smile appeared on the Flying Sky Great King’s face. He walked slowly into the temple.
No sooner had he stepped in the door than he fell to the ground with a thump, pleading, "Great Sage Grandfather, you must be the one to stand up for me!"
As he said this, he burst into loud wails, his expressions and voice so pitiful as to move anyone to tears.
"Stop!" With a casual flick of his finger, the Great Saint silenced the wailing of the Flying Sky Great King instantly.
Even though his mouth was wide open, no sound emerged; it was as if he was a mime performer, putting on an exaggerated act.
"Speak if you have something to say."
As soon as these words were uttered, the Flying Sky Great King was surprised to discover that he seemed to be able to speak again.
However, at this moment, he dared not babble anymore, and could only recount his experiences truthfully and in full detail.
"That Cat Demon is truly detestable. Clearly not a match for me, yet it could only resort to such cunning methods. I hope the Great Sage Grandfather will uphold justice for me."
Having said this, he began to kowtow again.
However, at this time, the Great Saint sitting on the altar suddenly changed his expression and said, "Who is it?"
No sooner had the voice faded away than a burst of light appeared throughout the temple. It was the dense Incense Willpower, illuminating the Flying Sky Great King’s body and eliciting a scream of agony from the Demon King.
At the same time, a small white paper figure slowly fell from the Flying Sky Great King’s body, landing on the ground and instantly transforming into the shape of Lin Fang.
Lin Fang, just as he appeared, curiously surveyed the monkey before him that resembled a divine spirit, and recalling what the Flying Sky Great King referred to as the Great Saint, he asked with some astonishment, "Divine Exorcist Great Saint?"
The monkey on the other side did not expect Lin Fang to recognize his identity so quickly.
After giving Lin Fang a once-over, he then sighed and said, "So it is you."
The Great Sage was naturally aware of such a character as Lin Fang, especially after the incident in Nine Tails City, Lin Fang’s renown had been widely sung among the monsters of Luzhou in the North.
"I did not expect you to come here after leaving Nine Tails City," the Divine Exorcist Great Saint seemed somewhat surprised.
Lin Fang merely smiled slightly, looking like an idle old man as he inspected the seemingly ancient temple with his hands behind his back, and then sighed, "Who would have thought that the renowned Divine Exorcist Great Saint would be hidden inside such a humble temple."
"Where I reside is none of your business," the Divine Exorcist Great Saint replied in a very unfriendly tone.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fang was not angered but instead appeared quite interested as he took a glance at the Divine Exorcist Great Saint, "I am merely curious as to what secrets this temple holds, to make a Great Saint of the Demon Clan take such care."
No sooner had he spoken than the Divine Exorcist Great Saint’s eyes became incredibly sharp, and a formidable presence burst forth from his body as he stared intently at Lin Fang.
Lin Fang, however, was indifferent to the Great Saint’s gaze; after all, this was but one of his paper figure incarnations.
Although this paper figure was made from special material, which allowed it to change in such a way, now with the backing of the mana of monsters, he could continuously create such figures without the constraints he initially faced.
"Knowing too much can be lethal," the tone of the Divine Exorcist Great Saint turned ice cold.
Lin Fang just smiled, his gaze still wandering within the temple; indeed, he had not been mistaken—this temple was likely also a hiding place for a divine seal.
This fellow, who claimed to be the Divine Exorcist Great Saint, was probably linked to the path of his own practice of cultivation—could this place be where his initial cultivation began?
And his guard over this place was due to the divine seal here, though it was still unknown what use this object had for him.
"Intruding into the master’s quarters, such rude inspection is the behavior of an unwelcome guest," the Divine Exorcist Great Saint said darkly.
Then his voice became somewhat strict, "Get out!"
As the words fell, Lin Fang felt his paper figure incarnation involuntarily fly out of the temple gate, and the sliver of divine consciousness attached to the paper figure returned to him.
Looking at the small white paper figure drifting down from midair, the Divine Exorcist Great Saint suddenly fell silent, lost in thought.
"He is a tough opponent, and I am not certain I could defeat him; you’d best not provoke him," the Divine Exorcist Great Saint said solemnly to the Flying Sky Great King.
The Flying Sky Great King nodded in frustration.
