Chapter 83: The Immortal Xuanshang

"The Buddha said to Subhuti, 'All Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas should subdue their minds in this manner...'"

Accompanied by the chanting, the Buddhist monk gradually approached. His voice brought a sense of calmness, but it seemed to agitate Cang Junlang.

Soon, the Buddhist monk approached, dressed in tattered robes, covered in dust, with a calm and resolute face and unwavering eyes, as if he could overcome any obstacle. The prayer beads in his hand spun as he walked, accompanied by the swirling dust behind him, giving the impression of a wandering ascetic.

Jia Xun's expression became serious as he sensed a vast aura emanating from the monk, as if he could contain all the rivers.

He hoped the monk was just passing by.

As Jia Xun thought this, the monk stopped in front of them.

"Royal guards of the Qianyue royal family, do not obstruct the path of the monk!"

The captain of the royal guards sternly commanded, confident within the territory of the Qianyue Kingdom. However, if they were outside the kingdom, he wouldn't dare to speak so, to avoid attracting the attention of treacherous individuals.

To his surprise, the monk calmly responded, "The purpose of my journey is to deal with you."

Upon hearing this, the guards' expressions turned hostile.

"I heard that there are demons within the Qianyue royal family causing unrest. I have come to eliminate the demons," the monk said calmly, provoking a barrage of curses from the guards.

Accusing the Qianyue royal family of harboring demons was equivalent to slandering the entire Qianyue Kingdom!

Moreover, most people in the Qianyue Kingdom were strongly opposed to monks. Therefore, upon hearing the monk's words, the guards drew their swords.

At that moment, Qin Yu suddenly approached and greeted the monk, "Venerable Xuan Shang, you have finally arrived."

Jia Xun's brow furrowed. He hadn't expected this person to be invited by Qin Yu. Combined with Xuan Shang's earlier words, it was clear that he was targeting Qin Jun.

This made Jia Xun feel a headache. In the past, Qin Yu had been cautious, unlike now. Within just two days of his return, Qin Yu had attempted to harm Qin Jun multiple times, greatly diminishing Jia Xun's favorable impression of him.

It was acceptable to vie for the throne, but hiring a Buddhist monk to kill his own brother was a method that chilled the hearts of any minister, and also indicated that Qin Yu was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

As a prince, Qin Yu certainly knew that the Qianyue Kingdom had a strong aversion to Buddhism, which meant he was going against the will of his ancestors, a grave offense!

"Your Highness, where is the demon?" Xuan Shang asked solemnly, but as he spoke, his gaze subconsciously turned towards the last carriage. However, when he saw Cang Junlang, his brow furrowed.

"Hmph! What a vile creature, it has just formed a demon core. If allowed to grow, it will surely become a great menace!" Xuan Shang rebuked, and as he spoke, his aura as a transcendent realm expert burst forth, causing everyone's expressions to change as if facing a formidable enemy.

The eyes of the Howling Sky Hound suddenly changed, emitting a fierce light, while Cang Junlang became even more agitated, emitting low growls incessantly.

At that moment, Qin Jun suddenly emerged from the carriage, accompanied by Daji.

"Where did this bald donkey come from, blocking the path of my royal family? Do you want to die?" Qin Jun shouted loudly. Damn, he thought it was someone like Fahai, but it turned out to be an extra, and a pretentious one at that!

His words brought great satisfaction to the royal guards, while Xuan Shang's mouth twitched, and he looked at Qin Jun with a cold gaze, saying, "You must be the third prince, Qin Jun. Your words are filled with killing intent, indeed, you have been possessed by a demon!"

Qin Jun laughed. You've actually guessed it right!

"This bald donkey disregards the authority of the royal family. Execute him on the spot!" Qin Jun ordered directly, causing the guards to surround Xuan Shang. In response, Qin Yu not only remained calm but also revealed a gloating expression.

Xuan Shang was a figure even stronger than Nan Meng. With Guan Yu absent, there was no one in the Qianyue Kingdom who could stop Xuan Shang!

"Alas, you have all been misled by the demon. Let me save you all!" Xuan Shang said with a sigh, causing a burst of golden light to emanate from his body, exuding a solemn and majestic aura, and directly knocking down the surrounding guards.

"How dare you lay hands on the palace guards!" Jia Xun was furious, as Xuan Shang's actions clearly disregarded the authority of the Qianyue Kingdom.

"Master Jia, please do not be angry. Venerable Xuan Shang is a transcendent realm expert. He is not a villain. Once he eliminates the demon, he will leave. We must not obstruct him," Qin Yu said with a smile, causing everyone to feel a chill.

Even Qin Yun felt the same way. He couldn't help but wonder if he would end up in a similar situation if he offended Qin Yu.

But he was overthinking it. Qin Yu didn't need to hire a transcendent realm expert to deal with him.

Transcendent realm!

These three words silenced everyone, including Jia Xun, who didn't know what to say.

Faced with such a powerful figure, they couldn't stop him.

At that moment, Qin Jun, accompanied by Daji, the Howling Sky Hound, and Cang Junlang, strolled over. He looked at Xuan Shang and couldn't help but admire him, "Isn't the Buddhist doctrine against killing? How come, are demons not considered living beings?"

"You call me a demon, do you have any evidence?"

"If you have such ability, why don't you go to the demon territory and slaughter them? Do you only bully the weak?"

Three consecutive questions left Xuan Shang momentarily stunned, and then he sighed, "The benefactor has been deeply corrupted by evil and cannot be saved. I can only help you achieve peace by destroying your body and soul, bringing a prosperous era to the Qianyue Kingdom!"

Impressive! Even Qin Jun couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "You're wasting your talent as a monk!"

Xuan Shang walked towards Qin Jun with an expressionless face. The wolf, Cang Jun, opened its bloodthirsty mouth and pounced towards Xuan Shang, intending to swallow him in one bite. At that moment, Xuan Shang raised his hand and a palm of golden light appeared, gathering spiritual power into a huge palm, directly sending Cang Jun's massive body flying backwards for dozens of meters, shocking Jia Xun and the others.

"Qin Jun, even the gods can't save you today!"

Qin Yu grinned ferociously, as if he could already see Qin Jun dying in front of him.

In response, Qin Jun simply raised his middle finger at him, ignoring him and signaling to Daji with his eyes to take care of this guy!

How dare this insignificant Transcendent Realm act so arrogantly!

"Namo Amitabha, the people of Buddhism are compassionate and merciful, how can they have thoughts of killing!"

Just then, a solemn voice, even more dignified than Xuan Shang's, rang out, startling everyone to look up and see an old monk descending from the sky, dressed in golden-red robes and holding a golden alms bowl that shone like the sun, dazzlingly bright.

Qin Jun's eyes lit up. This old guy had finally arrived, and his entrance was so damn cool!

Xuan Shang's face changed dramatically and he immediately knelt down, leaving Qin Yu dumbfounded. Anyone who could make a Transcendent Realm powerhouse kneel down must be incredibly strong.

Daji and the Xiong Tian Dog's faces also changed slightly, especially Daji, who protected Qin Jun and whispered, "Young Master, be careful, this person is very likely a Void Transformation Realm powerhouse!"

Void Transformation Realm!

The wolf Cang Jun, who had just run over, was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, completely spineless.

Daji's voice was not lowered, and everyone else was startled. The Imperial Guards had never heard of the Void Transformation Realm, but Jia Xun knew. A Void Transformation Realm powerhouse could match a kingdom!

"We're finished..." Jia Xun said with a wry smile. If Emperor Qian knew that under his leadership, Qin Yu had actually invited a Buddhist master to kill Qin Jun, he would not be able to escape responsibility.
