Chapter 1749 No, You Came at the Right Time

Unfortunately, Situ Haokong's plan was doomed to fail.

His actions were anticipated by Xuankong and easily resolved.

Knowing that there was no hope, Situ Haokong simply left with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Lin, we meet again."

Xuan Kong greeted Lin Jichen with a smile.

Lin Jichen responded calmly: "Master Xuankong is here to snatch people too?"

Xuan Kong smiled and shook his head, pacing around: "No, no, what Mr. Lin said is wrong. Shengyuan is a Buddhist, Mr. Lin also agrees with this, so how can you say that I am here to rob people."

Lin Ji Chen sneered and stopped being polite, saying: "Master Xuankong, you don't have to argue with me. Shengyuan wanted to kill my Taoist partner, but I defeated him. His life cannot be saved by just anyone. If you want to take it by force, then go ahead. Don't think that my master is in seclusion and the Tianyan Sword Sect can be bullied by others!"

This matter is no longer a personal grudge between him and Sheng Yuan. Obviously, because Situ Haokong and Xuankong joined at the same time, this matter has been upgraded to the dignity of the sect.

If anyone can force us to back down, then the Sword Sect will lose face. Everyone will think that your Sword Sect is easy to bully and that you, the new leader, have no strength and are just a coward.

Lin Ji Chen would never let the Sword Sect retreat in his hands, and he would not hesitate to fight again today.

There is a saying that goes, one good punch is enough to prevent a hundred!

Seeing the tense atmosphere on the field, Xuan Kong shook his head helplessly and said with emotion: "Mr. Lin is indeed worthy of being the disciple of Master Leng. Not only is his talent as unparalleled as your master, but even his character and temperament are so similar to your master. The Sword Sect is lucky to have a junior like you. If Shengyuan had your mind and awareness, I would also like to let him take over as the abbot of Tianyin Temple. It's a pity that he is too narrow-minded and his Taoism is not firm, which led to the disaster today."

Having said that, Xuankong sighed and looked at Shengyuan. There was a hint of pity in his turbid eyes, but it finally turned into a sigh.

"Forget it, Shengyuan. You are a Buddhist disciple, but now you have fallen into the devil's way and killed innocent people. You have committed serious sins. As the supreme master of Buddhism, I want you to pay for your sins today. I hope that you can turn back in the next life and don't make mistakes again."

After saying that, Xuankong waved his sleeves, and a golden Buddha light flashed. Shengyuan's life was completely frozen, his flesh and blood turned to ashes, leaving only a pile of bones.

Even Shengyuan's eyes were full of disbelief. He thought that Xuankong would take his talent in Buddhism into consideration and capture him back, then punish him a few times and continue to train him vigorously.

He even thought about his future of revenge. He returned to Buddhism and practiced hard. One day, when he was in charge of Buddhism, he would settle accounts with Lin Jichen.

However, he didn't expect that Xuankong would kill him with his own hands, without mercy and with one strike.

Even his flesh and blood were all crushed, leaving him no chance of resurrection.

Even if Yun Lanyi took action now, it would be of no avail.

Lin Ji Chen did not expect that Xuan Kong would make this choice in the end and kill Sheng Yuan with his own hands.

But he soon realized that although Xuankong's actions seemed cruel, he was actually helpless.

First of all, Sheng Yuan was guilty of heinous crimes and deserved to be killed. Secondly, Lin Ji Chen refused to give in, so Xuan Kong could indeed take people away by force, but the price would be complete enmity with the Sword Sect.

It will also leave people blaming Buddhism for what it is. After all, no matter how Buddhism defends itself in this matter, it will be useless, and this will greatly damage the image of Buddhism.

Finally, Shengyuan himself became a demon in an instant, and his Buddhist heart was unstable, which was the reason why Xuankong finally chose to give up on him.

If he has always been devoted to Buddhism and has a firm stand, Xuankong would be willing to keep this extremely talented disciple even at the risk of his old face, and would train him well in the future.

But who made Sheng Yuan insist on seeking death and choosing to join the evil sect? This is undoubtedly an act of treason.

No matter how much Xuankong admired Shengyuan, he could no longer believe in his loyalty to Buddhism.

Rather than doing this, keeping him would only cause trouble. Killing him with one's own hands would give an explanation to the world, calm the matter, and greatly improve the credibility of Buddhism.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Lin Ji Chen couldn't help but admire the courage and shrewdness of Xuan Kong, the old man of the world. He used the seemingly most ruthless means to do what the whole world believed to be the most compassionate thing, and also shut up the people who were gossiping about it.

He guessed that this was actually the purpose of Xuankong's coming here. He was not here to protect Shengyuan, but to kill him with his own hands.

Because he has to kill it with his own hands, otherwise killing it with other people would have completely different meaning.

After getting rid of Sheng Yuan, Xuan Kong did not leave in a hurry, but asked Lin Ji Chen: "Donor Lin, Sheng Yuan has been sent to the Western Paradise by me, are you satisfied?"

Xuankong's words may seem redundant, but in fact they are forcing Lin Jichen to back down, implicitly acknowledging that the matter is over and he should no longer care about it and should not hold on to it.

Although Lin Ji Chen saw through his thoughts, he could only accept it. Could it be that the other party had sacrificed his own relatives for the sake of justice and said that he was not in place yet, so he resurrected Sheng Yuan and killed him again?

"Master Xuankong personally eliminated this cancer of the Eight Desolations. Naturally, I agree with this. I believe that from today on, the matter of Shengyuan can be settled. No one will blame the Buddhist sect anymore. Master can go back and rest assured. The show is over, and we, the audience, should also leave tactfully. Goodbye."

Lin Ji Chen deliberately described Sheng Yuan as a cancer, and implied that Xuan Kong was deliberately acting in front of him for the world to see.

After he finished speaking, he signaled Ji Tongyin and Yun Lanyi to disappear from the spot instantly.

Xuankong was left standing there, shaking his head and sighing with regret, not knowing whether it was due to the embarrassment of having his thoughts exposed by the junior or the helplessness of having run out of ideas.

In short, he, the supreme master of Buddhism, was made a little emo by Lin Jichen's few words...

Little did he know that after Lin Ji Chen walked away, he also felt a little scared.

If the old monk got angry with what he said and chose to teach him a lesson, he really wouldn't be able to stop him.

Leng Feiyan also said that although she was considered the strongest cultivator in the world, Xuan Kong's strength had always been a mystery. He had always kept it hidden and rarely took action.

But Leng Feiyan said that Xuan Kong gave her the greatest pressure. If she really fought with him, she believed that her chance of winning would be only 60% at most.

Lin Jichen is definitely not a match for this big Buddhist boss who even the master is a little afraid of.

Fortunately, the old monk did not do anything, and he felt much more at ease.

"Ms. sir~"

Seeing that the light bulb was gone, Yun Lanyi, who had been missing her husband for a long time, finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to throw herself into Lin Jichen's arms.

Lin Ji Chen also felt like a newlywed after a long separation and hugged the other person tenderly.

However, Ji Tongyin, who came from behind, happened to see this scene.

The two were a little embarrassed and were about to separate. Ji Tongyin forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I came at the wrong time."

Lin Jichen opened his other arm and waved at her: "No, you came at the right time."

Ji Tongyin's pretty face blushed when she heard that, but she still walked over obediently, and she and Yun Lanyi leaned in Lin Jichen's arms, one on the left and one on the right.

At this point, the art is done!
