30: Section 30

Ling You, Reverend condensed golden light with his fingers, chanting incantations and pointing at the Da Luo Golden Bowl, which completely ignored his commands.

"What's going on? It's true I was injured a few days ago, but my Cultivation hasn't decreased. Why can't I activate the golden bowl to eliminate the Prodigy?"

The golden net continued to expand, trapping Qing Lin inside. She came to Xiao Bai's side and warned, "Xiao Gege, be careful! All the Old Bald Donkey from Tianlong Temple have come out. The weakest among them have the strength of a Level 7 Yao Beast, and there are even Yao King-level powerhouses."

"Don't panic, I'll protect you." Xiao Bai thumped his chest with his right hand.

"Really? Don't fool me. Even Big Sister wouldn't dare to boast in this kind of situation."

"You are my woman. No one can bully you, I said so."

Qing Lin's tears gushed out instantly, deeply moved.

She wiped the tears from her face, laughing and crying at the same time: "You're only a Level 8 Yao Beast yourself, not even as strong as me. How are you going to protect me?"

Ling You, Reverend's palm condensed into the Ten Thousand Buddha Hand Seal, and he sneered, "You two Prodigy, say your goodbyes. This is your last meeting in this life. My Buddha's compassion will grant you a little more time."

Xiao Bai tossed the golden bowl into the air: "With this bowl, I will definitely keep you safe and sound."

"White Snake True Form."

Xiao Bai and Qing Lin simultaneously transformed into giant python forms, their offense and defense comprehensively enhanced.

The Da Luo Golden Bowl spun rapidly in the air, a golden light shooting out from the bowl, instantly killing all Yao Beasts below Level 7 in the vicinity. As long as the golden light touched them, they would completely melt.

Then the golden bowl spun rapidly on Xiao Bai's finger, played with such dazzling flair.

"Old Bald Donkey, this is the correct way to use it! Have you learned?"

The golden light of the golden bowl shone all over Xiao Bai. The originally White Python instantly turned golden, not only unharmed, but his Cultivation instantly soared to a Level 1 Demon King, giving him a sense of a Golden Dragon.

Ling You, Reverend was stunned: "How is this possible? Why would my Buddhist sect's supreme treasure assist evil and help a Prodigy greatly increase his power?"

At this moment, Ling You, Reverend felt his world collapsing. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The golden light shot from the golden bowl made it impossible for any Cultivator of the Yao Race to hide, and its destructive power against them was extremely strong.

Chapter 41: You Three Come At Me Together

"Abbot, why was the Da Luo Golden Bowl taken by the snake Yao?"

The eminent monks of Tianlong Temple almost unanimously looked at Ling You, Reverend. From their complex gazes, one could see doubts about Ling You, Reverend's character.

"Shut up! Quickly capture these two Prodigy!"

"They must have used demonic arts to forcibly seize it. This time, we must not only kill these two Prodigy but also reclaim the Buddhist sect's supreme treasure."

"We have entered Buddhism, vowing to slay demons and eliminate evil, upholding justice in the Human Realm. Are you going to just watch these two Prodigy escape again?"

Ling You, Reverend understood human nature. Standing on the moral high ground, he continuously questioned the eminent monks' devotion to Buddhism.

Up until now, Ling You, Reverend had never seen any Cultivator of the Yao Race dare to directly face the Buddha's light shining from the golden bowl. At least, those below a Level 2 Demon King couldn't do it.

Yet, it was seized by a Level 8 Yao Beast. The golden bowl in Xiao Bai's hands was utilized to its fullest, even more skillfully than when Ling You, Reverend wielded it.

"Yes... We vow to eliminate demons and protect the Dao even if it costs us our lives."

"Very good. Then act! Absolutely do not show mercy or let the Prodigy escape. Everyone present will be held accountable."

Ling You, Reverend roared with a deep voice: "Prodigy, why do you not reveal your true form?"

Qing Lin looked at her snake tail, then at Xiao Bai, completely bewildered.

"Old Bald Donkey, are you blind? Can't you see two such large snakes?"

Ling You, Reverend's face showed a hint of awkwardness. In truth, he mainly spoke that sentence to match his deep voice, making him seem imposing, indirectly boosting his morale, and also to scare Xiao Bai with his voice.

It was hitting two birds with one stone, with many benefits, and he was used to saying it. In the past, when he appeared to slay demons and eliminate evil, he always spoke like that. If he didn't shout, he always felt something was missing.

Xiao Bai began to assign tasks to Qing Lin: "You deal with the eight weaker monks, and I'll deal with the three Soul Transformation Stage, Yao King-level ones."

"They are generally Nascent Soul Cultivators, so as long as you don't mess around, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Slurp!

Qing Lin licked the corner of her mouth with her long tongue: "I'm going to swallow all those monks."

"You always surprise me. What medicine did you take to suddenly reach the same Realm as me? Be careful of that Old Bald Donkey Ling You, Reverend, he's very strong. Even if Big Sister came, she might not be confident in winning."

"Can you do it? Don't push yourself too hard."

Xiao Bai grinned: "Since I've said so much, I have to do it even if I can't. Let's go, don't dawdle."

He had to finish putting on this act, even if it brought tears to his eyes. Xiao Bai now had to seize every second, because the golden buff could only last for an hour, and he had already wasted about ten minutes.

"You three, come at me together." Xiao Bai lightly crooked his finger, full of provocation, truly a King of Bragging.

The giant snake body shook vigorously, sending countless venomous snakes flying towards Ling You, Reverend.

"Mere child's play, showing off in front of an expert."

Ling You, Reverend's palms turned golden, and each strike released a swastika symbol, dealing with these small snakes with ease. He suspected Xiao Bai was just bluffing.

"What are you two still standing there for? Quickly kill the snake Yao and reclaim the Da Luo Golden Bowl!"

The two eminent monks attacked Xiao Bai from both sides. When their Vajra Palms struck his body, they dissipated into a cloud of Qi.

"Damn it, we fell for it!"

The giant snake body suddenly vanished into thin air. Ling You, Reverend used his Golden Finger to give himself X-ray vision, scanning around but finding no trace of Xiao Bai.

"Strange, where did he hide?"

Suddenly, a golden light shone down from the sky, enveloping Ling You, Reverend and the two eminent monks.

Their Cultivation instantly dropped by one Rank, and this would last for an hour.

Ling You, Reverend, who had held a Rank advantage just moments ago, instantly panicked after this. He had no decent Magical Artifact in his hand and could only rely on his own Cultivation for a bitter fight.

Facing a Yao Beast of the same Realm, his physical strength was at a disadvantage.

Whoosh!

The golden python circled around them, whistling past, moving very quickly, then disappearing again. This guy was deliberately messing with their mentality.

Ling You, Reverend shouted loudly: "Hui Ming, Hui Fang, quickly activate your Vajra Body Protection! Do not let the snake Yao disturb your Buddhist hearts!"

"Yes..."

The three monks put their palms together, closed their eyes, and sat cross-legged in mid-air, chanting incantations. Now that their Cultivation had all dropped a Rank, Ling You, Reverend dared not be careless.

Small golden swastika symbols continuously floated out of his mouth, trying to locate Xiao Bai.

On the other side, the green snake and the eight eminent monks were fighting like mad. Each time they formed a formation, Qing Lin would disrupt it. Two eminent monks had already been swallowed by her.

During her Cultivation as a Yao, she had never eaten a single person. After escaping from the Demon Suppression Tower, she became enraged whenever she saw these monks and would never show mercy.

With the suppression of Ranks, she felt no pressure fighting multiple opponents. She first targeted the weakest, defeating them one by one.

"Heh, the three monks have started chanting. It seems disturbing their morale has had a good effect."

"Let's try this 'Snake Whip Dance'. I haven't used it before, so I'll practice on these monks."

Dozens of golden snake tails suddenly appeared around Ling You, Reverend, each as thick as their waists.

Bang!

Dozens of giant snake tails simultaneously struck the three of them, and the powerful shockwave caused an avalanche. Large sections of snow on the east side of Azure Sky Peak rolled down the cliff, exposing dark rocks.

"You two, hold on! I'll find the exact location of the snake Yao soon. He's very cunning and keeps hiding his head. We must strike him down in one blow."

"Abbot, hurry! I can't hold on much longer!"

Hui Fang gritted his teeth, blood beginning to trickle from the corner of his mouth, yet he maintained the posture of clasped hands, his lips trembling slightly as he chanted incantations.

In fact, at first, it was a very good opportunity to escape. Ling You, Reverend chose to have them endure this attack. As Cultivators of Buddhism, they didn't even know how to write the word 'escape'. They were determined to sacrifice themselves for righteousness.

The golden bowl, suspended in the air, once again shone down golden light, forming a golden pillar of light around Ling You, Reverend's body, trapping them tightly within a twenty-meter radius.

He had tried several times to retrieve the golden bowl, but each touch brought a burning sensation. This supreme Buddhist treasure now completely belonged to Xiao Bai.

"So resilient, huh? Then I'll just have to speed up my attacks."

The giant snake tail struck five times per second, covering all angles, fiercely bombarding the monks inside the light pillar.

Hui Fang was the first to fall. In less than a minute, Hui Ming followed suit.

"You really are stubborn. You clearly could have escaped just now, yet you remained still, chanting. Can Buddha truly save you?"

Ling You, Reverend watched as his two most capable subordinates were beaten to death beside him. He instantly panicked and stopped sitting cross-legged and chanting.

"Damn you, snake Yao! I'll kill you!" Ling You, Reverend's face was covered in bulging veins, his eyes bloodshot.

Xiao Bai smiled calmly: "Great Master, you are a Cultivator of Buddhism. How can you be so vulgar?"

"I will use a Buddhist Magical Artifact to kill you, which can be considered giving you your final dignity."

Ling You, Reverend completely lost his mind, cursing: "Shameless! Stealing my Buddhist sect's supreme treasure, killing my Buddhist Disciples! Your sins are so heinous, you will suffer heavenly retribution!"

Chapter 42: Fox Spirit Matchmaker Gets Jealous

"Heh, heavenly retribution?" Xiao Bai's lips curved into a sneer of disdain.

"In ancient times, the Yao Ancestor and the Human Emperor established rules: the Human Race and the Yao Race would be separated by the Xuan River, and neither side would invade the other."

"As a Cultivator of Buddhism, why must you be so ruthless? Bai Su and Qing Lin have been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower for hundreds of years. They never harmed a single human life in the Human Realm, yet you imprisoned them for centuries. Dare I ask, Great Master, is this reasonable?"

Ling You, Reverend spoke with righteous indignation: "Humans and Yao have always been at odds. Beasts Cultivating the Dao of the Yao is inherently against the Heavenly Dao and intolerable by heavenly principles."

"The two Prodigy, White Snake and Green Snake, trespassed into the Human Realm and disturbed the common people. Their crimes are unforgivable. As a Cultivator of Buddhism, I take the common people of the world as my responsibility and must eliminate these Prodigy."

"Dare I ask, Great Master, the ancient great deity Nuwa also had a human head and snake body. According to your logic, she would also be a Prodigy."

Ling You, Reverend roared: "Nonsense! Empress Nuwa is the Great Creator Deity! How can a small snake Yao like you slander her?"

Azure Sky Peak is a neutral area where any race can come to Cultivate. A kind of tacit understanding seems to have formed among the various races.

The area closer to one's own territory is tacitly considered the Cultivation ground of that race. As a member of the Yao Race, Cultivating on the side closer to the Monster Realm territory is understandable.

The eminent monks of Tianlong Temple, led by Ling You, Reverend, had repeatedly rushed into the Monster Realm's territory to search for Bai Su and Qing Lin, even going on a killing spree and killing a dozen Yao Beasts. He pretended to be completely unaware of these actions, still speaking righteous nonsense.

The two sides debated for a while, but no matter how logical and well-reasoned Xiao Bai's arguments were, Ling You, Reverend would stubbornly reject them.

"Since that's the case, then let's speak with strength."

Seeing that time was running out, Xiao Bai seized the last ten minutes to launch his fiercest attack against Ling You, Reverend.
