Chapter 622: 281. The Celestial Master’s Robe is Here? (Two-in-One Chapter)_4

The Western Region Buddhist Disciples witnessed the scene and felt alarmed, but they quickly became determined under the influence of their Sect elders and began to approach the cultivators of the Mortal Tao Country scattered about.

Only Master Longjia himself was filled with nothing but terror at that moment.

He had never expected his palm strike to be effective.

Rather than attributing the success to his own action, it was more like Gao Yuyang’s movements had suddenly slowed down.

Master Longjia even felt that the Bright Flower Mirror had become extremely fragile at that moment, and as a result, it was shattered by his palm.

Gao Yuyang was directly and severely injured by this strike!

However, Master Longjia instinctively felt that something was amiss.

...The one who got hit, Gao Yuyang, knew best what was wrong.

Just at that instant, his body seemed to be affected by an invisible force, suddenly fixed in place.

At the same time, a highly sinister force invaded his body, making it difficult to display his Mana and Divine Skills.

But that isn’t the divine skill of the Buddhist Hand Seal Lineage. It’s somewhat reminiscent of a move used by someone from the Taoist Sect...

Gao Yuyang realized there was a hidden hand behind the scenes, but before he could react further, his Spiritual Soul tied to the Bright Flower Mirror trembled violently.

After another heavy blow, the already cracked Bright Flower Mirror shattered on the spot!

Gao Yuyang’s Immortal Soul spilled out, extremely weak and insubstantial.

Before he could react further, the swirling vortex of Spiritual Energy became even more turbulent, like a meat grinder, crushing and obliterating Gao Yuyang’s Spiritual Soul.

The cultivators of the Mortal Tao Country on the shores above the lake were utterly horrified.

Although filled with a mixture of shock and anger, seeing that an Elder with Upper Three Heavens Cultivation had been killed, they had no choice but to leave the lake quickly, despite their indignation and reluctance.

The disorderly Spiritual Energy in the lake water severely affected their perception.

The Western Region Buddhist Disciples on the shore found it difficult to discern the details of what was happening in the water at that time.

However, the large handprint on the Bright Flower Mirror and Gao Yuyang’s death were plainly visible to all.

They then unabashedly pursued the fleeing cultivators of the Mortal Tao Country.

Before they had chased two steps, Master Longjia’s voice came from the water, "Wait!"

Seeing Gao Yuyang’s inexplicable death, the old monk’s unease surged to its peak.

He even stopped his movements to retrieve the Celestial Master Robe.

Master Longjia protected himself while observing his surroundings.

As Gao Yuyang died, a figure that was barely detectable appeared on the shore above the lake, which only Master Longjia could barely discern.

The Western Region Buddhist Disciples on the shore, with Middle Three Heavens Cultivation, couldn’t even perceive it until that moment.

Suddenly, a sword light burst forth, its power Shattering the Sky, flashed across, and plunged into the lake.

Master Longjia’s body hair stood on end, and he wanted to dodge, but he too was held in place by the surge of invisible Primordial Magnet Force.

With a great start, he unleashed all his strength, displacing a great amount of water around his body which shone with a faint Buddha light and twisted eerily.

The sword light passed, and blood splattered.

Although the old monk had moved vital parts of his body as much as possible, he was still wounded by the swift and close sword light.

When the second sword light came, Master Longjia had no way to avoid it and was decapitated.

In an instant, the situation took a dramatic downturn, which the spirited Western Region Buddhist Disciples couldn’t grasp.

Only when figures seemed to appear and approach in the distance did they snap out of their daze.

Is it a powerful expert skilled in the Sword Control Technique from the Mortal Tao Country coming to their aid?

Facing such a formidable opponent, the Western Region Buddhist Disciples had no will to fight and, heartbroken over Master Longjia’s death, could only retreat as fast as possible. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It was most urgent to report the events that had taken place to the other Sect elders.

Fortunately, it seemed the other party did not pursue them.

A bold Buddhist Disciple paused and looked back.

On the distant mountains and the lake, the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights slowly rose and then gradually receded.

It seemed that the expert from the Mortal Tao Country was not pursuing them because he was busy collecting the Celestial Master Robe.

Buddha is merciful, yet it’s a pity for Uncle Master Longjia... The Western Region Buddhist Disciples dared not stay longer and turned to leave hastily.

Once they were far away from the Yu River basin and felt somewhat safer, they quickly contacted Jiasheng Upper Master and other Sect elders to inform them of the situation and Master Longjia’s encounter.

On the other side, as the cultivators of the Mortal Tao Country fled into the distance, someone also looked back to see the Nine-colored Cape enshrouded by the vague light of the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights, feeling as if their hearts were bleeding.

Such a precious treasure as the Celestial Master Robe falling into the hands of a Monk of the Western Regions... And Elder Gao has been killed. This matter can’t just be let go!

"Quick, send a Sword Messaging to report to the Sect Leader Master!"

The current situation of the Mortal Tao Country, under the joint oppression of various forces led by the Tang Imperial Court, left little room for a major reaction, rendering them unable to make much noise in the short term.

Jiasheng Upper Master, representing Western Region Buddhism in the Southern Wilderness, was genuinely fuming, a flame in his Buddhist heart.

For various reasons, they had decided to act low-key in this Mortal World, to reduce making enemies and to strategize slowly.

Earlier, when Master Sangjie was beaten by Tang Xiaotang, Western Region Buddhism had endured and let large issues be downplayed.

But then Master Sangjie was killed by Wei Ancheng on this trip to the Southern Wilderness.

Now, Master Longjia had been killed by the people of the Mortal Tao Country.

Does it seem like we’re easy targets that anyone can trample on?

As a high-level Buddhist practitioner from the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Jiasheng Upper Master, who had cultivated his spirit for many years, though agitated by such thoughts, soon calmed his mind again.

However, this did not prevent him from spreading the news far and wide that the Celestial Master Robe had fallen into the hands of the Mortal Tao Country. Simultaneously, he urgently contacted Yuan Mobai, the representative of the Tang Imperial Court and the Celestial Master Mansion in the Southern Wilderness, to discuss the matter.

When Jiasheng Upper Master arrived at the Yu River basin, it was too late; the place was in ruins, and not even Master Longjia’s body had been left behind.
