The City of Terror

 No matter how the Buddhist Seed responded, it was unable to dodge the Spear whilst it was trapped in the web of tendrils.

 The Divine White Mist Great Spear instantly pierced through the Buddhist Seed and immediately shattered the original Buddha light.

 After the Great Spear released the White Mist, the tendrils forcibly wrapped up the Buddhist Seed, and dragged it away.

 The White Mist of the Great Spear was not that agile and one could only stare as the Buddhist Seed disappeared in the palm of Wei Xiao Bei’s hand.

 Luckily, the Great Spear had not yet evolved to a level of consciousness. Otherwise, it might have acted like a spoiled child that refused to accept a loss.

 It could be said that the Life Altar was crazy for treasures.

 After the Buddhist Seed was taken into his palm, Wei Xiao Bei felt it wake up. In the next moment, the response from the Buddhist Seed instantly disappeared. Afterward, the Life Altar once again returned to its half-sleep state.

 The Buddhist Seed was not something Wei Xiao Bei, himself, was willing to absorb as he simply did not want to run into Sariputta’s consciousness.

 On the other hand, between the Divine Great Spear and the Life Altar, Wei Xiao Bei decided that it was better for the Life Altar to absorb it.

 Both were of equal importance.

 However, the range from which the Great Spear could absorb energy was greater. As long as a creature had enough power, it was possible for it to give the Great Spear energy. On the other hand, the Life Altar was different. If it did not eat a certain quality of treasure, then it would not have become as remarkable as it was today.

 Although the Buddhist Seed did not display quality, Wei Xiao Bei judged that, at the very least, it was rare quality.

 If it was not because of Sariputta’s consciousness within the Buddhist Seed, Wei Xiao Bei would not allow the Life Altar to simply eat any treasure of rare quality and above.

 At the same time that the Life Altar ate the Buddhist Seed, the Great Spear was withdrawn and inserted directly into Shi Yan Kun’s heart.

 If the roots were not removed during weeding, the weeds would grow again when the winds of Spring blew.

 Wei Xiao Bei could now be blamed for being vicious and merciless.

 He did not have any plans of letting Shi Yan Kun go at all.

 The two of them were no enemies and that meant that only one of them would live. Moreover, Shi Yan Kun was already demonized. Wei Xiao Bei did not know if his opponent could return back to the real world, but as long as there was a chance, Wei Xiao Bei would need to remove the threat!

 Otherwise, he would not sleep well at night.

 As the Great Spear penetrated Shi Yan Kun’s heart, it immediately began absorbing his strength. It started absorbing from the heart, causing Shi Yan Kun’s recovering skin to quickly dry up in an instant.

 Shi Yan Kun grasped at the air a few times and then spasmed. Then, he stopped moving.

 Shi Yan Kun finally died.

 Wei Xiao Bei did not know if Shi Yan Kun had any regrets in the face of death, but the Great Spear absorbed energy so quickly.

 In less than three seconds, Shi Yan Kun’s corpse had completely dried up.

 To be more accurate, he now looked like a charred piece of wood.

 “Namu Amitabbha Buddha…..”

 At that time, a graceful Buddhist chant could be heard from afar, causing Wei Xiao Bei’s entire body to tense up.

 In the next moment, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed and laid down on the ground as he thought of leaving.

 As Wei Xiao Bei’s body began to become transparent, a golden Buddhist Aura suddenly appeared from the dusky sky. Ancient Sanskrit chanting echoed from the skies, followed by golden flowers floating down which brightened the entire sky.

 At this time, the monarch’s palace at the top of Taishi mountain began to emit green light, protecting the entire mountain from the invasion of the Sanskrit chanting.

 Soon, the golden flowers spread, landing in between the two mountains. From the center, a monk whose body was entirely golden appeared.

 The monk wore a shinning gown and had black Buddhist beads hanging from his neck. He also had white long eyebrows hanging off his face and judging from his complexion, he looked to be quite old. He chanted as he approached.

 Once he appeared, his gaze landed on Wei Xiao Bei’s almost-transparent body.

 “Namu Ami….”

 Just when the monk had almost finished chanting, a crisp female voice cut him off, “Aiya, Honored Sariputta has graced us with his presence. Your presence truly brings light to Mt. Song’s Monarch’s Palace. My lord wishes to invite Honored Sariputta to come in and try some of our Mt. Song tea.”

 When the Buddhist monk was interrupted, he frowned and could only watch as Wei Xiao Bei’s body completely disappeared.

 Seeing the body disappear, the outer patrol manager immortal relaxed. Seeing the monk frown, she was secretly pleased, but she did not dare show it.

 The monk might’ve appeared to be incredibly old, but he was a clone of Sariputtra, Buddha’s subordinate.

 Honored Buddhists were naturally incomparable to Buddha, nor were they comparable to the Bodhisattvas. This was simply the difference between Hinayana and Mahayana.

 Hinayana was part of the Theravada school of Buddhism. They advocated monastic discipline and emphasized personal discipline in Buddhism.

 If they could train to the highest level they would become Arhats, while Sakyamuni was the sole Buddha.

 On the other hand, Mahayana paid particular attention to deliver all living creatures from suffering. Everyone can become Buddha, thus their highest attainment was becoming Buddha.

 Naturally, this kind of difference in beliefs caused the disparities between Honored Ones, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas.

 However, in China’s Dust World, Sariputta was in a position lower than Buddha and Bodhisattva, making him only an Arhat.

 Even if that was so, the clone of Sariputta was not someone the outer patrol immortal could provoke.

 “Sigh, we will meet again if we are brought together by fate.”

 Honored Sariputta mumbled as he raised his brows and looked at the female immortal.

 This gaze caused the green barrier surrounding the Taishi Mountain to tremble. Even the female immortal was astonished and her mouth hung wide open.

 Sariputta’s clone only looked at it before launching an invisible attack. If the green light wasn’t there to protect her, the female immortal might have gotten into trouble.

 “Honored Sariputta, to have graced us with your presence, this God would apologize for not going out to meet you. Do forgive me for that. Why not come to my palace to take a look?”

 At this time, an elegant voice echoed from Mt. Song’s monarch place. Afterward, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a purple gold crown appeared, appeared, smiling at Sariputta.

 “Don’t mind it, Mt. Song Monarch. This poor monk has some urgent business. I will pay an official visit next time.”

 Seeing the Monarch appear, Sariputta’s expression changed.

 Come into the palace to take a look?

 Don’t joke around.

 The Mt. Song Monarch Palace is your domain!

 Sariputta was not an idiot. He naturally knew that land gods were the strongest within their domain. Let alone his clone, even his main body was there, he might not be able to win.

 Moreover, the land gods belonged to the system of the Imperial Court of Heavens. Fighting one might lead to more of them appearing. That would not make things worthwhile.

 After saying these words, Sariputta rose from the ground and flew afar, disappearing into the distance.

 “I have alarmed Lord Monarch. This subordinate should be punished.”

 When Sariputta’s light disappeared, the female Immortal came and kneeled in front of the Mt. Song Monarch, begging for forgiveness.

 “It’s fine. The land is now becoming more chaotic. Being able to form a good bond with the boy is already not bad.”

 The Mt. Song Monarch examined the spot where Wei Xiao Bei had disappeared. It was hard to discern what he was thinking as he let out a sigh.

 Even the female Immortal didn’t know what the Monarch was thinking about.

 …..

 When he opened his eyes, Wei Xiao Bei saw modern fixtures that were not in ruins, prompting his heart to return back to reality.

 I have finally left the Dust World.

 This was not the first time he left the Dust World in a panicked manner.

 However, this was the first time he had foreseen such a huge crisis.

 Put simply, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly had a premonition that if he did not quickly leave the Dust World, he would not be able to leave anymore!

 It could be said that Wei Xiao Bei’s intuition had saved his life, or to be more accurate, his freedom.

 After taking a bath, he played around with a ring of Buddhist beads.

 There was nothing strange about it at all. There were even traces of old bloodstains and charcoal on it.

 This was the only thing Wei Xiao Bei was able to take from Shi Yan Kun’s body before leaving the Dust World.

 In terms of status, the Buddhist bead was a normal object that was made of wood. It might not even fetch 200 Yuan on the market.

 However, this was the only remnant of Shi Yan Kun.

 After Shi Yong Ping had tricked him, Wei Xiao Bei was unwilling to go see him. Although the other party did not have bad intentions, he had omitted a lot of crucial information that almost got him stuck in the Dust World.

 However, Wei Xiao Bei felt like he still had unfinished business after leaving the Dust World so abruptly.

 Thus, after careful thinking, Wei Xiao Bei decided to call him on the phone, “I have returned.”

 “Returned? Did you find Shi Yan Kun?”

 At this time, Shi Yong Ping stopped his high manner of speaking as a senior monk. Wei Xiao Bei could hear the nervousness in his voice.

 “The affair is too complicated. I will tell you when you come here.”

 After saying this, Wei Xiao Bei hung up and immediately called the customer service hotline, telling them to deliver some vegetable dishes.

 Chinese people have a habit of talking business over a meal. Wei Xiao Bei also felt that talking with Shi Yong Ping over a meal would be more convenient.

 It could be seen that Shi Yong Ping valued Shi Yan Kun a lot. Wei Xiao Bei felt that this relationship had was more than just master and disciple. It was closer to the strong bond between father and son.

Wei Xiao Bei wiped his sweat.
