Chapter 143: Tenggenier

After a series of twists and turns, the five of them finally arrived at their destination, Motuo Lanruo Temple.

The five stood outside the temple, and the warrior monks at the gate, seeing this, picked up their staff and aimed them at the five uninvited guests.

The warrior monk said:

"Our temple has distinguished guests arriving today and is not receiving any outsiders. Will the five benefactors please return!"

Qin Shuang said:

"Masters, we have come to your temple to find the father of this little one; we ask that you please report our arrival."

Having said this, Qin Shuang pointed at Long Er.

Yet this group of warrior monks maintained the same attitude, and the leader said sternly:

"I have already said that our temple is not receiving any guests today; everyone, please return."

"Stinking monk, I have said all the polite things there are to say, yet you refuse to listen and insist on forcing me to take action.

You truly refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

Bu Jingyun said angrily; in his life, he hated nothing more than people who refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.

He stepped out from the group and faced the warrior monks directly.

The lead warrior monk saw this and shouted:

"Form the formation, execute the demons!"

Several warrior monks were seen holding their staff, circling around Bu Jingyun.

Looking at their style, it was clearly the Demon-Executing Great Formation of Shaolin Temple.

Bu Jingyun watched everything coldly; he knew he could not use his sword today, otherwise, the situation would certainly not be able to progress.

He channeled Qi into both palms and struck out with the force of Overturning Seas and Mountains.

Under this rigid and overbearing palm power, the Demon-Executing Formation was easily broken.

The group of warrior monks was knocked to the ground, yet they suffered no real damage.

"If you remain obsessed and unrepentant, do not blame me for being heartless with my sword."

Bu Jingyun said.

"Benefactor, please enter; I am no match for you, Benefactor."

The lead warrior monk knew that he and his men were no match for Bu Jingyun and that further obstruction would be futile, so he gave up and allowed the five to enter the temple.

Bu Jingyun chuckled:

"If you had known today would come, why act as you did in the beginning!"

Under the gaze of the warrior monks, the five walked into the temple with long, swift strides.

At this moment, the abbot and high monks of the temple were smiling and welcoming a woman.

"Mother Shenmu, you must put in a good word for us before Lord Di Shitian.

Our humble temple will certainly await your orders, my Lady."

The woman was none other than Shenmu Luoxian, and this trip was specifically to follow the orders of Di Shitian to bring Motuo Lanruo Temple into the fold.

Motuo Lanruo Temple had just suffered a great upheaval; the original abbot, Yuanfang, had suddenly died overnight.

The newly appointed abbot, Yuantong, was a complete "smiling Buddha."

When Shenmu arrived at Motuo Lanruo Temple and displayed her personal strength, Yuantong surrendered instantly like a reed in the wind.

Upon learning the purpose of Shenmu's visit, Yuantong agreed without a second thought.

If Shenmu was already this powerful, then the strength of the Heaven Gate Gate Master, Di Shitian, was beyond imagination.

Once he attached himself to Heaven Gate, let's see who would dare look down on Motuo Lanruo Temple.

Just as Yuantong was dreaming his pipe dreams, the five uninvited guests, including Duan Fengyun, walked in.

"Yo, isn't this a temple?

How is there a woman here? Monk, it seems you have secrets."

As soon as Duan Fengyun entered and saw Shenmu Luoxian, he began to tease them.

Although he did not know the identity of the person before him, he knew she was no ordinary person just by looking at her attire.

Yuantong saw this and scolded angrily:

"Who are you?

How dare you come to my Motuo Lanruo Temple to act so insolently!

Do you know who this heroine is?

This is the Heaven Gate's Shenmu Luoxian!

You should know of Heaven Gate; if you anger Shenmu, be careful that you don't end up in a miserable state."

The current Yuantong was like a

sycophant, fawning over Luoxian incessantly.

"Oh, so you are Shenmu Luoxian!"

After hearing Yuantong's words, Duan Fengyun looked Luoxian over once more.

Truly worthy of being the Shenmu of Heaven Gate; Luoxian was indeed as her name suggested, as beautiful as a celestial being, with an ethereal aura.

Luoxian looked at the four, including Duan Fengyun; having already seen their portraits, she was clear on their identities.

These four were among the top ten on the recruitment list for Heaven Gate; if she could recruit them, her master would certainly be very pleased.

Thus, she greeted the four.

"You must be Duan Fengyun, Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun!

I have heard quite a lot of your stories within Heaven Gate."

Upon hearing Luo Xian's words, Yuantong could not help but be scared out of his wits.

He had thought the few people who arrived were just some nobodies, never expecting the legendary Martial Arts Myth to be here.

Yuantong was now filled with extreme regret; why had he been so loose-lipped?

Although he was attached to the Heavenly Gate, in front of these four people, the Heavenly Gate would likely be unable to protect him.

Hearing that they were people from the Heavenly Gate, a nameless fire rose within Bu Jingyun, and he roared:

"I don't care what Shenmu you are, I will kill anyone from the Heavenly Gate!"

Having said that, Bu Jingyun raised his palm and attacked Shenmu directly; just as Shenmu was about to be struck by this heavy palm, she suddenly vanished from Bu Jingyun's sight.

Then, Shenmu appeared in another corner.

Shenmu was truly a prized disciple of Di Shitian; her use of the Sacred Heart Art's displacement technique was vivid and lifelike.

Seeing this, Bu Jingyun gave his back a light shake, and the Peerless Sword flew out directly.

Just as he was holding the sword and preparing to kill Shenmu, he was stopped by Duan Fengyun.

"Yun, stop!"

"The purpose of our trip is not to fight with Shenmu."

After hearing this, Bu Jingyun finally calmed his restless heart.

Duan Fengyun thought of Shenmu from the original story; although she was a disciple of Di Shitian, she was kind-hearted, so he did not want to be enemies with her.

He spoke up:

"Shenmu, we have other matters on this trip and do not wish to be your enemy."

"Please leave first, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, Shenmu laughed with a giggle; this Duan Fengyun was truly interesting.

She smiled and said:

"Fine, Duan Fengyun, since that is the case, I will not be your enemy today."

"Another day, you must certainly come to my Heavenly Gate as guests."

Having said that, Shenmu walked away in front of everyone.

"Lady Shenmu, wait for me!"

Yuantong shouted behind Shenmu, but Shenmu paid him no heed.

After Shenmu left, Yuantong fell to his knees with a thud in front of Duan Fengyun and the others:

"Hero Duan, Hero Qin, Hero Nie, Hero Bu, I was just forced by that female demon."

"None of this was my own will, please have mercy, four heroes."

The four of them looked at Yuantong with cold eyes; for a dignified monk to act in such a way was truly a disgrace to Buddhism.

However, the four did not want to complicate matters on this trip, so Duan Fengyun spoke:

"You need not worry, we did not come here to cause you trouble this time."

"Our purpose in coming here is to find someone."

Upon hearing that they were not looking for trouble, Yuantong's complexion instantly became much rosier, and he asked:

"May I ask you heroes, who are you looking for?"

"Tenggenier!"

Duan Fengyun replied.

Yuantong looked blank after hearing this; he had never known there was such a person in the temple.

He asked suspiciously:

"Heroes, we do not have this person in our temple."

"Have you heroes come to the wrong place?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Duan Fengyun replied:

"We have not come to the wrong place."

"Tenggenier was imprisoned in the Forbidden Land by your former abbot; perhaps you do not know."

Yuantong looked at the person responsible for managing the Forbidden Land and asked:

"Is there anyone imprisoned in our Forbidden Land?"

The person beside him nodded and replied:

"Yes, Abbot."

"There is indeed a strange person imprisoned in our Forbidden Land."

"His personality is eccentric, and his martial power is extremely strong; we dare not provoke him easily."

Duan Fengyun nodded; this strange person should undoubtedly be Tenggenier.

Qin Shuang spoke:

"Let's go, please take us to the Forbidden Land."

Seeing this, Yuantong could not refuse, so he led Duan Fengyun and the others toward the Forbidden Land.

Yuantong and the two people responsible for managing the Forbidden Land led the five of them all the way into the Forbidden Land.

Echoes of shouting resounded within the Forbidden Land; after passing through a row of rooms, the group finally arrived at the source of the shouting.

The person responsible for management said:

"Everyone, this is the person imprisoned by the former abbot."

Duan Fengyun called out:

"Tenggenier?"

The eccentric, who had been acting crazed, stopped his madness and looked at Duan Fengyun with a face full of shock.

"How do you know who I am?"

As expected, this eccentric was indeed the Tenggenier whom Duan Fengyun and the others were searching for.

Duan Fengyun pulled Long Er, who was hiding behind him, out and said to Long Er:

"Long Er, this is your father, Tenggenier!

Go up and acknowledge him now!"

Long Er walked forward with a complex expression and said to the eccentric:

"Are you my father?"

Tenggenier seemed to be out of his mind and said crazily to Long Er:

"What father, what Tenggenier, I don't know what you are all talking about!"

Long Er turned his head and looked at Duan Fengyun with a pleading gaze.

Duan Fengyun believed there must be something wrong with Tenggenier; he had someone open the door and walked in alone.

Seeing Duan Fengyun walk in, Tenggenier rushed forward crazily, intending to grab Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun used a displacement technique to arrive directly behind Tenggenier and struck several of his major acupoints in a flurry.

But Duan Fengyun's attack had no effect; Tenggenier turned around and continued to grab at him.

Tenggenier was truly worthy of being the number one expert of Persia; all the major acupoints in his body had shifted.

Seeing this, Duan Fengyun knew he could only use force to subdue Tenggenier.

He spread his hands and began to engage Tenggenier in battle.

If it were a clear-headed Tenggenier fighting Duan Fengyun, even if it wouldn't be earth-shattering, it would at least be a hearty and exhilarating battle.

However, the Tenggenier before him had long since lost his sanity, and his fighting relied entirely on muscle memory; he was no match for Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun found an opening, delivered a chop to his neck, and knocked him unconscious.

Duan Fengyun placed him on the ground, circulated his True Qi through his entire body's Meridians, and discovered that several places in his Meridians were blocked.

This must be the reason for Tenggenier losing his sanity.

Duan Fengyun slowly channeled his True Qi to help Tenggenier clear his Meridians.

The Meridians that had been blocked for a long time began to slowly clear under Duan Fengyun's gradual dredging.

After clearing Tenggenier's Meridians, Duan Fengyun stood up, and shortly after, Tenggenier opened his eyes.

With clear and powerful eyes, Tenggenier thanked Duan Fengyun:

"Many thanks to you for your life-saving grace!"

"No need for thanks."

Duan Fengyun replied.

Then Duan Fengyun walked out of the room, signaled for Long Er to go in, and then led the others away.
