When Zhu Yuyan faced the outstanding successor of Kind Boathouse while she was at the peak of her condition, her expression was incredibly dark. She charged straight into the depths of Dafo Temple.

All that happened today caused Empress Yin to want to gnash her teeth together.

First, she was forced to use her killing move by an unknown Shaolin Temple secular disciple, and in the end, she had to even use her strongest attack and used up a lot of her powerful true origin as a price to kill a junior.

But that was not all. At such an important moment, she just had to run into Shi Feixuan, who had become stronger.

And just now, she had used up too much of her true origin when she executed Heart Demon’s Sword just now, causing her to be unable to fight against Shi Feixuan at all. Empress Yin could only lure her to the middle of the Buddha statues.

Within just one day, she was forced into a very pathetic situation by two juniors, and there was no way Empress Yin could be happy about it.

She had originally come to Dafo Temple this time because it had been a long time since she received any news about Shi Zhixuan. This time, she had suddenly obtained information from a righteous path disciple in Beijing that Evil King was at Dafo Temple, and Empress Yin knew that Shi Zhixuan’s kind personality must have appeared, which also meant that Evil King had remembered the woman who passed away. This time, she came over here deliberately to bring Shi Zhixuan, who was always elusive, back to the sacred order and rally their forces so that he could increase morale in the sacred order.

But now, she had to use Evil King’s strength to shake off Shi Feixuan.

And just as she expected, when she entered the depths of the Buddha statues, Evil King Shi Feixuan sat there in a meditative position without moving…

Whoosh!

Zhu Yuyan approached Shi Zhixuan from the back, and she only stopped once she charged more than thirty feet forward. She then turned around to face Shi Feixuan, who had a solemn look on her face.


Evil King, it’s really you!


Shi Zhixuan said nothing. He was very quiet as he elegantly and slowly opened his eyes to look at Zhu Yuyan before he looked away to fix his gaze on Shi Feixuan, who had a wary look on her face. He sighed deeply.
A person from Kind Boathouse, I see… Are you here to take my life?



Evil King, kill her! This woman’s Clear Sword has already become stable! Before long, she will reach One with the World! If we don’t kill her now, Kind Boathouse will have another matchless fighter, and by then, it will be a disaster for the sacred order.
Empress Yin stood behind Shi Zhixuan with a grave look on her face.

Shi Zhixuan said nothing. He just cast her an indifferent look.


I just want some peace and quiet, but do you insist on not giving me that chance?


Shi Feixuan swept her gaze around the place coolly before she said in a righteous manner,
There are rumors floating about the world of martial artists that you, Shi Zhixuan, have been searching for something left behind by the ancient gods in Dafo Temple. By the looks of it now, it is indeed real.



What?
Empress Yin was stunned.

Shi Zhixuan’s expression was calm.
I don’t know what you’re talking about.


Shi Feixuan stared at Shi Zhixuan and continued,
In truth, we’ve long since known that you are at Dafo Temple, but there are many people who believe that you have truly come to regret your actions and are seeking to walk down the path of kindness. We chose to believe that you stayed among the Buddha statues in Dafo Temple to cleanse your heart and to meditate in silence. But it is only later that I realized a divine monk at One with the World had once appeared in Dafo Temple.


You’ve been staying at Dafo Temple for a long time without leaving. Your goal should be the martial arts manual the divine monk left behind.


Shi Zhixuan’s expression finally changed a little.

At that moment, Empress Yin finally detected that there was something strange. With a surprised look, she cast Shi Zhixuan a glance, and her eyes sparkled.


Evil King, is what she said true? Did you really stay at Dafo Temple to search for the martial arts manual? Did you find it?


Shi Zhixuan did not reply, and Shi Feixuan did not intend to give him the chance to reply. She had already seized the chance to speak, and her airy voice rang in the air like silver bells.
Naturally, he hasn’t found it. Someone with such a brutal personality as Evil King can never be acknowledged by the divine monk and receive his legacy.



Shut up!


Before her voice faded away, a sudden shout rose and drowned out the remaining echo of her voice.

The two women were shocked.

Shi Zhixuan, who had been very elegant and graceful all this while, was suddenly surrounded by an evil aura.

Whoosh!

Shi Zhixuan stood up.

Under Empress Yin and Shi Feixuan’s gazes, he looked up, and the gentle look in his eyes was replaced by untamable might as well as ruthlessness.


It’s been a long time since I killed someone, why must you force my hand?


Shi Zhixuan’s awe-inspiring might instantly spread out, and Shi Feixuan was the first to be affected.

However, her expression only changed for a moment before she quickly regained her composure.


My mistress was right. No matter what, you will forever be Evil King, and there is no longer any possibility of you being enlightened. Even if you destroy all the Buddha statues in Dafo Temple, you won’t be able to get the divine monk’s legacy, much less bring about a disaster to the world of martial artists!



You just keep talking about evil and righteousness, don’t you?! When has Kind Boathouse become the masters of the world?!


Shi Zhixuan smiled coldly and displayed his might and imposing mannerisms as the master of the evil path. He swung his arm.

Shi Feixuan’s gaze changed, and she quickly moved several dozens of feet on the floor.

A loud bang rose, and the body of the Buddha statue behind Shi Feixuan instantly had a hole the size of a fist appear on it.


Since you know the goal behind my presence here, then you will die, Shi Feixuan.
In just the span of a breath, Shi Zhixuan had already quietly appeared behind Shi Feixuan.

Evil King’s strange and unfathomable lightness skill was displayed fully at that moment. He was much fiercer than when he fought against players.


Dream on!


Shi Feixuan might be shocked, but once her Clear Sword had become stable, she was still able to make a judgment within the shortest moment with the calmest mindset.


Heart’s Sword!


It was one of the secret techniques in Sword Classic.

If anyone looked at that moment, they would see two fierce sword wills charging out.

Even Evil King had to stop with his next movement.

Whoosh!

Shi Feixuan moved very quickly. While Evil King was avoiding her Heart’s Sword, she tapped against the ground and charged dozens of feet away like a startled bird.

She jumped a few times among the Buddha statues, and in an instant, she was already very far away.


Thinking about running, lass?


Empress Yin reacted very quickly. She instantly activated Sky Demon Aura and chased after her.

But Shi Feixuan moved very smoothly. Even when she was enveloped by Sky Demon Aura, she still did not slow down, and it caused Zhu Yuyan to be surprised once more.


Don’t let her escape! After her!


Shi Zhixuan chased after her expressionlessly, and the distance between them continued shortening.

Empress Yin’s true origin might have been damaged, but she had no problem in chasing after the two.

The trio shot out from among the Buddha statues like phantoms. Then, with one ahead of the other two, they left Dafo Temple.

Soon after the three people left, three players suddenly appeared from among the quiet Buddha statues.

Two men and one woman stopped at the spot where Shi Zhixuan had been at the center of the Buddha statues. Their expressions were incredibly excited.


Thank goodness, the quest hasn’t been ruined yet.



After that boy lured Empress Yin away, my heart was about to leap out of my chest… Really, damn him.



I wonder which elite player he is. He actually managed to last so long under Empress Yin’s hands! And he even forced Empress Yin to use her weapon…
The woman in the group gasped in amazement.

The two men were instantly displeased.

One of them said,
So what? It’s just that his equipment is slightly better. In the end, he still died. He’s as dumb as a pig. Why didn’t he run when he had such great equipment on him?



That’s right.
The other one agreed to his words.

The trio had clearly not heard the conversation between Happy and Empress Yin. In fact, they had not even heard Shi Feixuan and Empress Yin’s conversation. They did not know that Happy had not unintentionally run into a martial artist at the peak of Myth Realm, but had deliberately come here to seek trouble. But it was only logical that they did not hear it. If they had been too close, they might have been discovered by Empress Yin and Shi Zhixuan.


Alright, enough with the nonsense. That guy should be dead by now. We have to hurry up and search for the stuff.


If Happy were there, he would definitely be able to figure out some things from the trio’s conversation.

Indeed, these three people were the people who activated this hidden quest, and for this quest, they had been running about for more than one month. They did eight related quests before they managed to finally summon Shi Feixuan from Kind Boathouse and brought her here to lure away Evil King.

However, the plot had decided to progress differently from what they expected.

Empress Yin showed up, and a person who was completely unrelated to the quest had also appeared! Fortunately, everything still progressed according to how it should be later on.

Empress Yin and Evil King were lured away by Shi Feixuan, and they had a period of safety for them to search for the legacy of the ancient divine monk or a martial arts manual.


Fragrant Whisper!


The woman among the trio answered to the call for her name quickly by nodding and walking out. She swiftly looked around before she began tapping around the area.

Based on the tools the woman brought and her specific, familiar movements, this woman should be a trap master, and she was not a low-ranking trap master.


Over here! Come!


She searched for a while before she actually managed to find something. She activated an object in a small concave under a broken wall.

Thud!

A large flagstone tile suddenly sank down slowly.

While a heavy sound rumbled in the air, a small Buddha statue rose up high from within and appeared before the three delighted players.


We found it!



Don’t!
The pretty good-looking woman brought her hand up and stopped the two from pouncing on it.
This seems like a trap.



Then, hurry up and break it. Shi Feixuan won’t be able to last for too long under those two evil cult grandmasters. We have to get the divine monk’s legacy at the shortest time possible!



I know!


The woman quickly brought out some tools and manipulated them for a while in front of the exquisite and tiny Buddha statue before she quickly put them and grabbed the tiny Buddha statues’ hands.

Under the duo’s surprised gazes, she carefully positioned the two hands on the tiny Buddha statue until the palms were face-to-face with each other.

Then, they were pressed together.

With one slap, its posture was fixed.

Creak! Creak!

Under the trio’s delighted gazes, the tiny Buddha statue began to sink with loud sounds echoing in the area. A small tile nearby also sank, and something seemed to be coming out from it.

The trio stared at the object in the small pit without blinking, but they did not notice that the Buddha statues near the dull, heavy sound had started to slowly move.

The Buddha statues at the center moved, and so did the ones around them.

More than one thousand Buddha statues began moving and intersecting with each other around the trio.

They only made creaking sounds at the beginning, but gradually, they turned loud booms.

When the trio brought out the item in the pit, the Buddha statues around them had already put on postures that made them look alive, and it was as if they had formed a huge Arhat formation that surrounded these three players.

All the gazes of the statues were fixed on the trio, or more accurately, at the woman who had the item in her hand.

The woman’s expression changed. She sucked in a sharp breath and stared at the one thousand statues that stretched out to hundreds of feet. Then, she said something stiffly,
Arhat Formation!
