Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 475 - 53: I’ll Test Your General Knowledge
The immense Ghost Hand tore through the dimensional barrier, and Maitreya Monk couldn’t help but fix his gaze outward.
A blond man appeared, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk, his bare feet emanating an aura, stepping on rolling black winds as he approached.
Maitreya Monk: "???"
The blond Taoist lifted his horsetail whisk and lightly swept it, dispersing the black wind, revealing dozens of disciples behind him cloaked in capes, each holding a magic artifact, looking ghastly and utterly terrifying.
Observing his demeanor, Maitreya Monk momentarily couldn’t determine the exact identity of this uninvited guest.
Originally, he had been confident in converting the Ma Family with the Demon Fox’s help, about seventy or eighty percent sure. However, suddenly someone had come in to disrupt things, and it was unclear whether they were friend or foe.
Grandma Ma had stated that she wanted to sort out her family issues, even bringing the children who were still nursing, without asking for help from outsiders. Logically, this shouldn’t have been reinforcements from the Ma family.
But I don’t recognize him either!
"May I ask the honorable Daoist..."
"Hahaha——"
Just as he was about to speak, the unpredictable Western Daoist suddenly burst into laughter, raising his hand and pointing at him as he challenged: "Baldy! Do you recognize me, Daoist Priest?"
I recognize your ghost!
Maitreya Monk cursed inwardly but maintained his composure on the surface, revealing a merciful smile and shaking his head, "Forgive this humble monk for his poor sight; I truly don’t know which eminent master you are."
"You don’t recognize me, yet I recognize you!"
The blond Taoist spoke coldly, "You claim to be the Maitreya Monk who wanders under the Longevity Sect, is there such a thing?"
Longevity Sect?
Oh...
Hearing the name of the Longevity Sect and seeing the Western Daoist before him, Maitreya Monk suddenly understood, promptly clasping his hands and saying, "So it’s the immortal of the Longevity Sect. This humble monk was blind and could not recognize Mount Tai; I beg for your forgiveness. It’s just that I’ve heard in the Jianghu World that the entire Longevity Sect had been slaughtered, how did you, sir, manage to survive by chance?"
"Baldy, you are quite well-informed. Could it be that this is why you impersonate a disciple of my Longevity Sect, deceiving people everywhere?"
The blond Taoist snorted coldly: "This poor Daoist has been in secluded intensive practice for many years. Had it not been for a disciple from within the sect sending a warning, I would not have easily ended my retreat. Only after coming out did I realize how much the world has changed. When did the bald monks of Buddhism dare to impersonate my disciples of the Taoist Sect? Today, if you don’t explain yourself clearly, don’t blame me, Daoist priest, for hooking your soul, seizing your life, skinning and dismembering you, and frying you in boiling oil for three days and nights!"
Maitreya Monk was completely dumbfounded.
Can’t you see I’m busy here? What chaos are you creating?
The Demon Fox below had already been howling under the pressure of the great mountain.
The Outer Dimension, unlike the Real World, is dreamlike and illusory, where truth and falsehood are hard to distinguish... candidly speaking, the rules are not completely solid, and the most absurd things might occur, the strangest characters might appear.
Like building a church of such grand scale in this godforsaken place.
Or like the mountains summoned by the Ma family.
In the Real World, which basically follows the laws of physics, accomplishing such feats by oneself is quite difficult.
Thus, although Maitreya Monk had never heard of such a big shot in the Longevity Sect, given the terrifying display put forth by the weird Taoist, he did not dare to probe recklessly.
"You misunderstand, Daoist friend. I indeed am a registered disciple under the Longevity Sect, but this is a long story. Right now, I really can’t leave this urgent matter; please, Daoist friend, wait just a moment..."
"You think I’m a fool, huh? Don’t tell me you’re using Buddhist methods to convert these embryonic souls for the Longevity Sect to recruit manpower!"
The Blond Taoist looked down at the ongoing tug-of-war below, then raised his head to stare intensely at Maitreya Monk, "Since it’s a long story, let’s make a long story short. I’m here to test a few basic knowledge questions on you. Democritus belongs to which faction of our sect?"
???
Maitreya Monk looked utterly confused.
Who?
"Zosimus then? You don’t know him either?"
Maitreya Monk replied with a pained smile, "Isn’t the Longevity Sect currently worshipping the Three Pure Ones?"
"Even the common folk selling pancakes and fruits on the streets know that we are now worshipping the Three Pure Ones!"
The Blond Taoist yelled angrily, "You haven’t even heard of the predecessors and mentors from our Alchemical Society, yet you dare claim to be a Registered Disciple? The entire Longevity Sect is gone, and you are the sole Registered Disciple out there living it up? How do you expect me to believe you aren’t an inside traitor betraying your own sect!"
......
Mrs. Ma frowned as she watched the standoff between monk and Taoist in the sky, and couldn’t help talking to herself after listening for a while, "Am I really getting old? What is all this about? Second sister, which side are you really on?"
While she was speaking, the mountain beneath her feet was already pressing down onto the chest of the Fox Demon.
With the Ma Family forming arrays to move the mountain from the inside, and endless Black Armored Soldiers providing support from the outside, the Demon Fox, despite its profound Taoist skills, found it hard to resist this suppressing force. Its eyes became bloodshot and even froth appeared at the corners of its mouth.
Hearing Mrs. Ma’s murmuring, the Demon Fox was inflamed with rage, and shouted loudly, "Maitreya! Why are you still wasting your words with that old fool? Get moving! I can’t hold on much longer!"
Maitreya Monk sighed deeply, joined his hands, and a silver white halo rose from behind his head, instantly illuminating everything around him.
"Fellow Taoist, please do not delay our urgent matters any longer. I am under Great Demon God Astaroth, Angel Ribelu. Do you really want to entangle with me ceaselessly and provoke my master to rain down endless wrath?"
The complexion of the Blond Taoist changed slightly, revealing a hint of hesitation.
However, he quickly rallied himself, chuckled coldly, and said, "Great Demon God Astaroth? Isn’t that just Solomon’s kept raptor? How dare you boast about being some great demon god on someone else’s turf when they don’t know your true caliber? Don’t use him to scare me; I’m not falling for that! If you’re capable, get him over here now to explain the annihilation of the Longevity Sect!"
"Obstinate and foolish!"
Even the Buddha couldn’t restrain his anger when repeatedly provoked.
Maitreya Monk shouted loudly, revealing a giant Buddha phantom standing tall behind him, turning his palms into fists embodying the Furious Vajra, ready to crush down with immense force.
But just at that moment, the Blond Taoist nonchalantly pulled out a red Concentric Knot from his sleeve.
Maitreya Monk took a deep breath, and the Giant Golden Body behind him only lasted two seconds before it dissolved into faint clouds.
"Fellow Taoist, let’s talk nicely."
"Yes, it’s indeed time for a good talk,"
The Blond Taoist, holding the red Concentric Knot, said with a smirk, "You, being a Fallen Angel practicing Buddhist Law, should really get closer to this Bodhisattva..."
"Amitabha, that’s not necessary,"
Maitreya Monk forced a smile, quickly scooped up the nearly flattened Fox Demon, and turned to run.
