Chapter 117 You didn't want this either...

There had never been a moment when Jiang Chen wanted to kill someone as much as he did now.

More than a dozen women were imprisoned in the basement, suffering day and night; what a maddening act this was.

"The Buddhist sect has actually become a place that harbors filth..." Jianzhen muttered, his eyes as vacant as those of the women.

The "filth" he spoke of naturally did not refer to these women, but to the person who had imprisoned them here.

Ku Xing was currently so terrified that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering was imminent, and soon, he would truly be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"What a fine 'Meditation of Sleep and Dreams.' Ku Xing, you haven't let your nature suffer at all."

Jiang Chen's voice was ice-cold, and every word contained a bone-chilling killing intent.

Under his voice, the entire secret chamber became somewhat grim and murderous.

"Ku Xing, you have truly disappointed me!" Abbot Kuming said, furious at his lack of self-improvement.

"Senior Brother, I am innocent! This is the Meditation of Sleep and Dreams passed down from the Esoteric Sect. By using Mingfei for Dual Cultivation, both sides can benefit, and besides, they are all willing!"

Jianzhen said coldly: "Since they are willing, why is it necessary to imprison them in a secret chamber!"

"This, this..." Ku Xing stammered, unable to say anything.

"Abbot, how do you intend to deal with this matter?"

Jiang Chen waved his hand, and a stream of light obscured the sight of the young women before him, while simultaneously lulling them into a deep sleep.

At this moment, perhaps a good sleep was the best help for them.

Abbot Kuming said: "Ku Xing has committed such a grave offense. According to the monastery's rules and precepts, he should be given one hundred strokes of the cane, stripped of his monastic status, and expelled from the monastery!"

Upon hearing Abbot Kuming's words, Ku Xing's body trembled, but as if resigning himself to fate, he lowered his head to accept the punishment.

"Hmm, and what else?" Jiang Chen waited for what came next.

"What else? What else is there?" Abbot Kuming blinked.

Jianzhen said indignantly: "Zen Master Kuming, is such an act that incites the wrath of both gods and men really just as simple as expulsion from the monastery?"

"This... Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. My Buddha has said: 'Lay down the butcher's knife, and you can immediately become a Buddha.' Ku Xing has only committed this one mistake. If he repents, it is not impossible for him to find the true essence of Buddhist Dharma in the future and see the true Buddha!"

"What a fine 'only committed a mistake.' But these women have lost their entire lives; how innocent they are!"

Jianzhen was still suppressing his urge to explode, trying to reason with Abbot Kuming.

But Abbot Kuming seemed oblivious, still attempting to use those old platitudes to brush Jianzhen off.

"Amitabha. All living beings are equal. Ku Xing certainly has his faults, but setting aside the facts, are these female lay Buddhists not also at fault?"

Jianzhen's eyes widened, and he could no longer find words to describe his terrible state of mind.

He did not even know if the monk in front of him was even of the same species as him, to be able to utter such shameless words.

And Abbot Kuming seemed to have found a Breakthrough point, continuing to chatter on.

"Ku Xing has strictly observed the precepts his whole life. If it weren't for these female lay Buddhists failing to observe womanly virtues, dressing skimpily, and deliberately seducing him, how could he have committed such a mistake?"

At this moment, among the monks behind Abbot Kuming, a few seemed to quite agree with Abbot Kuming's statement.

Most of them looked at Abbot Kuming in astonishment, and even Ku Xing looked at Abbot Kuming with a blank expression.

He was also a bit confused at this moment.

So I didn't make a mistake; I was just seduced. It's all these women's fault. If they weren't so good-looking and hadn't run up to me, why would I have imprisoned them?

Yes, that's it. I am acting on behalf of Heaven. As long as I keep them imprisoned, they won't have the chance to seduce others.

I am doing a good deed!

Abbot Kuming's words seemed to resonate with Ku Xing, and he stood up excitedly.

"Senior Brother, you know me. They seduced me, which is why I did such things!"

"Senior Brother knows. Just properly admit your mistake, and then apologize to these Mingfei. As long as your attitude is sincere, I believe Buddha will forgive you."

Abbot Kuming turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, who had been silent in front of them.

"Daoist Priest Jiang, what do you think of this resolution?"

"Is Buddha truly so magnanimous?" Jiang Chen retorted.

Abbot Kuming was slightly stunned, then said: "My Buddha is compassionate and will naturally forgive the mistakes he has committed."

"Good, I understand." Jiang Chen nodded.

Abbot Kuming was confused again: "What does Daoist Priest Jiang understand?"

"Naturally, it is to send him to Buddha so he can repent in person!"

As the words fell, Ku Xing, who had originally thought he had escaped death, immediately changed color.

Subsequently, he revealed a sinister expression: "Even Senior Brother has relented. You are just an outsider; what right do you have to interfere in the affairs of my Qianming Temple!"

"My Senior Brother gave you Face, which is why he treated you with courtesy. If you dare to be presumptuous again, do you believe my Senior Brother will suppress you on the spot!"

Abbot Kuming secretly groaned. Junior Brother, you are foolish. It would be one thing if you didn't beg for mercy, but why did you have to drag me into it? Senior Brother cannot defeat this god of plague.

"Then that is perfect; let us settle everything together!" Jiang Chen suddenly drew his Maoshan Dharma Sword. A red light illuminated the secret chamber, as if a hidden murderous intent fell upon the heart, making one shudder.

"My fists are not blunt either!" Ku Xing roared, and then used his movement technique to rush towards Jiang Chen.

He formed a mudra with his right hand and a fist with his left.

His right hand was raised, palm outward, performing the Abhaya Mudra, while his left hand moved with sweeping force, his fist wrapped in the Buddha light of salvation for all living beings.

"Hey, you Daoist, today I will show you the power of this Buddha!"

Jiang Chen looked coldly at the charging Ku Xing, seemingly already able to feel the surging air driven by his fist edge.

"Junior Brother!" Abbot Kuming was shocked and was about to step forward to stop him.

But just as he took a step, a straight figure was already standing in front of him.

"Amitabha. Ku Xing going to the Western Paradise to pay respects to Ultimate Bliss is a good thing; Abbot, you should not stop him."

Abbot Kuming's mouth twitched. If it's a good thing, why don't you go?

This damn monk is putting me on the spot, helping the cow-nosed priest to deal with his own people, right?

It was just that the aura on this damn monk was terrifying, just like that Maoshan Daoist; he couldn't perceive the depth of it, making him afraid to act rashly.

His cultivation was only at the half-step Xuanguang Realm; being able to touch the door of Mystic Light in this lifetime already made him very content.

But these two people in front of him were likely both in the Mystic Light realm, and not just ordinary Mystic Light realm cultivators at that.

Abbot Kuming could only watch helplessly as his Junior Brother went up to throw his life away.

Swish!

A flash of red light vanished, illuminating the entire secret chamber and blinding everyone.

Then they saw that Ku Xing, who had originally rushed out, flew back at an even faster speed.

He landed all over the floor.

That's right, Ku Xing's limbs were already separated from his torso, and he had been severed at the waist by a single sword strike.

Intestines and blood mixed together and landed at Abbot Kuming's feet.

Looking at Ku Xing, who still had one breath left, Abbot Kuming closed his eyes in unbearable pity.

But the next second, he suddenly widened his eyes again.

"Senior Brother, gurgle save me, Senior Brother, cough cough, you wouldn't want the matter of you and me raping these women together to be... by others..."
