Chapter 1082 Are you trying to declare war on my Tianyuan Sword Sect?
"Yes, Senior Jiang, your Tianyuan Sword Sect has always taken it upon itself to support the human race. Now that this world-destroying demon has appeared, even if you don't kill it, you should at least curb its development. Otherwise, the reputation of your Tianyuan Sword Sect will be damaged."
"That's right, everyone witnessed Gu Xiu causing all the candles in the world to go out. This matter must be taken very seriously!"
"The Heavenly Abyss Sword Sect resides atop the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Sword, guarding the Cliff of Eternal Life. Its purpose is to prevent the demons within the Cliff of Eternal Life from emerging and slaughtering humanity. Now that this world-destroying demon has appeared, it is indeed time to swiftly eliminate it!"
"Senior Jiang..."
With someone taking the lead, the group of cultivators who had previously suggested killing Gu Xiu also started to incite others.
There was no point in arguing with Lü Dongshan about rules; he was a reckless brute. So they turned their attention to Jiang Jiansi, who was the most law-abiding.
only……
"Just now, all the candles in the world went out and then came back on at the same time. You all witnessed this. Although I don't know what this means, I do know the importance of being cautious in my words and actions." Jiang Jiansi's reaction was very calm. He merely glanced at them and then continued:
"If Gu Xiuzhen is indeed a demon of destruction, our Tianyuan Sword Sect will certainly not sit idly by. However, since the outcome is not yet clear, it is rather hasty for you all to assert that he is a demon of destruction."
As he said this, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Jian's eyes.
He always appeared to be a nice guy, but he was also extremely rigid. However, when a cold light flashed in his eyes at this moment, everyone realized that the strength of this fourth disciple of the Sword Saint, who wielded the Mo Shou Sword, was by no means weak.
Seeing that no one responded, Jiang Jiansi then restrained his aura: "This matter is of great importance. I will inform my master and ask him to make a decision. Until then, I hope everyone will be careful with their words."
Even the Sword Saint has been brought out, what can anyone else say?
These troublemakers may each have their own ulterior motives, but none of them dare to actually challenge the Sword Saint's reputation on Tianyuan Sword Sect's territory.
For the time being, they had no choice but to back down and shut their mouths.
only……
Just when everyone thought that no one could defy this conclusion, a mocking laugh rang out:
"It seems that these so-called cultivators from the Central Plains are nothing but a bunch of spineless cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. They become timid and cowardly because of a little threat. It's utterly ridiculous."
These sharp words caused everyone present to frown, but before they could refute them, another gentle yet profound voice slowly rang out: "Jingde, be careful with your words. All beings have inferior natures, and it is precisely because of this that we need to come and guide them. Their current dullness is simply because they have not yet heard the true Dharma. You must not be disrespectful because of this."
“But even so, senior brother, I think these people are beyond saving. They are all stupid and stubborn, beyond redemption. If you ask me, we should send them to Avici Hell to cultivate properly. That would be the easiest way to save them.”
“Junior brother, your killing intent is too strong. This journey to the east is precisely to help you refine your mind and purify your nature so that you can attain the supreme fruit.”
The two voices intertwined in the air, seemingly far away yet also close at hand, causing the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.
"There!" someone suddenly pointed to the western sky, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
But see.
Above the western sky, a radiant beam of Buddhist light burst forth like the rising sun, dyeing half the sky a golden hue. Within this dazzling sea of light, two figures strode in, each step resonating with the heavens and earth.
The white-robed monk on the left moved with unhurried steps, his toes lightly touching the air, and golden lotuses bloomed beneath his feet. The lotuses slowly rotated, scattering golden light between their birth and death, accompanied by the faint chanting of Buddhist hymns. His features were as delicate as lotus blossoms, yet his eyes held a gentle compassion for all beings, as if bearing the boundless mercy of the Western Paradise.
On the right, Jingde presented a completely different image. He strode down the mountain like a tiger, his steps, though seemingly suspended in mid-air, caused the very air to tremble. Beneath his feet were not lotuses, but blooming golden tiger prints, from which a low, deep tiger roar could be faintly heard. His imposing figure was like a Vajra descending to earth, and wherever his sharp gaze swept, everyone felt as if they were being pricked by thorns.
One's every step is like a lotus blossom, and one's words are transformative.
One step leaves a mark, like a tiger descending the mountain.
The two figures, one gentle and the other strong, one still and the other dynamic, harmoniously blended into the Buddhist light, seemingly embodying the two sides of Buddhism: compassion and majesty. As they finally stopped above the crowd, the all-encompassing Buddhist light gradually receded.
Only the sacredness of each step like a lotus blossom and the imposing power of a tiger descending the mountain still linger in everyone's heart.
But just then, a clear sword cry rang out, pulling everyone back to their senses. They saw Jiang Jiansi still standing there, intently watching the two figures.
"I've heard that the Western Desert Zhengfo Temple has had two great Vajra protectors, one tiger and one lotus, in recent years. If I'm not mistaken, these two should be Venerable Jingde and Venerable Jingyan?"
"Hmph, there are indeed discerning people among us." The fierce tiger chuckled.
The white-robed monk nodded and put his hands together in prayer: "Amitabha, this humble monk is indeed Jingyan, and this is my junior brother Jingde."
"So you're two mages..."
Jiang Jian nodded, but his previously calm eyes suddenly brightened, and his entire being seemed to transform into an unparalleled sword, or a terrifying giant net woven from rules:
"The Buddhist sects of the Western Desert are not allowed to trespass into the Central Plains. Are you two planning to declare war on my Tianyuan Sword Sect?"
Upon hearing this, the two brothers, Jingde and Jingyan, who were originally high and mighty, immediately changed their expressions slightly. Although the Buddhist light on their bodies had resisted Jiang Jiansi's overwhelming sword intent, they were still slightly disheveled, and there was a moment of panic in their eyes.
Fortunately, the two had come prepared and recovered quickly.
Among them, the monk Jingyan put his hands together, and a lotus flower bloomed around him. He then put his hands together and said, "The Buddhist Kingdom did indeed have an agreement with the Sword Saint not to lightly enter the Central Plains. However, now that the Three Realms Sea of Evil has emerged and the vast universe is in danger of destruction, my brother and I are crossing the sea to the east this time, which is not considered breaking the rules."
"not to mention……"
At this point, Jingyan smiled slightly, glanced at Gu Xiu, and said, "The Demon of Annihilation has been born, and it is our Buddhist Kingdom's duty to take action to subdue it!"
"Oh?" Jiang Jiansi's face darkened. "You... you're going to subdue the demon?"
"Exactly!"
Where is the devil?
"The demon is none other than Gu Xiu, who was once known as the Azure Profound Sword Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu in black robes immediately turned cold, his brows furrowing slightly. Jiang Jiansi also glanced at Gu Xiu, but before he could speak, Lü Dongshan had already spoken up angrily: "Bald monk, did you come all this way just to spew filth? Believe me, old Lü, I'll send you both to your grave today!"
"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to court death?" The tiger-faced monk, Master Jingde, immediately glared. Although he made no move, in Lü Dongshan's eyes it was as if a giant tiger had appeared, wanting to devour him.
This attack startled Lü Dongshan so much that he immediately made a hand seal and prepared to flee.
However, before he could make a move, a sharp, cold light suddenly flashed, and then the giant tiger phantom was instantly cut in half. When it reached Lu Dongshan, it had already turned into a gentle breeze and was no longer as powerful as before.
Immediately afterwards, the lazy voice of the young swordsman came: "Even someone as shameless as me would be embarrassed to bully the weak. You two bald monks want to spar with me?"
He still had that lazy, rebellious, delinquent look.
But this lazy figure made Jingyan and Jingde straighten their backs involuntarily, with Jingde seemingly still somewhat unconvinced.
But Jingyan spoke up, saying, "Our Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom rarely crosses the sea to the east. Now that we have come, we have brought evidence."
"Evidence? What evidence?" Jiang Jiansi frowned.
“Of course…” Jingyan smiled slightly: “Evidence that Gu Xiu is a demon.”
"Oh? Gu Xiu is a demon?" Jiang Jiansi smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
"His crimes are threefold. I wonder if Benefactor Jiang would be willing to hear a word from this humble monk?"
"All ears."
"His first crime is that when this Benefactor Gu was born in the Three Realms Sea of Evil, he indiscriminately killed innocent people, slaughtered living beings and powerful figures from various sects, in an attempt to weaken the power of the universe."
"Is that so?" Jiang Jiansi raised an eyebrow.
"His second crime is that this benefactor Gu stole our Buddhist sacred treasures, causing great chaos in our Buddhist community and attempting to hinder our Buddhist activities."
"And what about the third one?" Jiang Jian asked.
“Third…” Jingyan smiled, a very bright smile. He looked at Gu Xiu again, then whispered something that shocked everyone:
"Gu Xiu is an immortal descended to the mortal realm!"
"That is also true..."
"The World-Destroying Immortal!"
