Jinshan Temple.
Underneath their night-walking clothes and facemasks, one couldn’t see the expressions of Chu Xiong and Qin Xing. However, they were quite satisfied beforehand.
But in just a short time, Xuan Kong’s aura suddenly erupted, and their eyes were filled with horror, with only four words surfacing in their hearts.
Innate Grandmaster!
How is that possible!?
Not only them, but other Postnatal Ninth Layer Experts had also reacted in the first place, their hearts full of trepidation.
With an Innate Grandmaster present, their wild arrogance was nothing more than courting death.
“Retreat, it’s a trap!”
But their realization was just too late!
You could see Xuan Kong suspended in mid-air, he hadn’t made any other movements yet, but the martial artists were desperate at the sight of him and quickly fled in panic.
Xuan Kong didn’t show much reaction to this, and Chu Xiong and Qin Xing couldn’t help but feel relieved upon seeing this, their steps unconsciously quickened.
They certainly wouldn’t outrun an Innate Grandmaster, but the opponent had not moved immediately, so long as they ran faster than the others.
However, at this moment, before the smiles under their masks had time to fade, several monks appeared before their eyes.
“Amitabha, benefactor, please turn back, this path is impassable.”
The next moment, the Xuan Generation High Monks made their move together, and several Post-Natal “Eighth” Level monks acted as support, instantly blocking their retreat.
At this point, the previously silent Xuan Kong finally reacted. He took a step forward with a leisurely stride, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the martial artists.
Then Xuan Kong waved his big hand, merely a sleeve of his monk’s robe, seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds, and instantly caused the few in front of him to retreat like they suffered a heavy blow, blood traces were already oozing from the corners of their mouths.
“My dear benefactors, our temple has not had the opportunity to entertain you properly. Why are you so eager to leave?”
As soon as Xuan Nan finished speaking, the main gate of Jinshan Temple opened wide. Rows of martial monks were brandishing their staffs; they were the Disciplinary Martial Monks of Jinshan Temple.
They all stepped forward together in unison, ingeniously herding everyone together, leaving no way out.
At this time, Wu Gang felt bitter inside. Up to this point, how could he not realize what was going on? He was just a bait.
It was such a pity for his underlings who lost their lives for no reason. However, he dared not say anything, nor could he say anything.
After all, the entire Dayan Dynasty hails the Ye family!
While Wu Gang was feeling bitter, the situation on the battlefield was extremely one-sided. The Postnatal Ninth Layer Experts’ internal energy was raging, the air seemed to explode, and trees around them collapsed instantly from the shockwaves caused.
However, in front of Xuan Kong, all of this seemed like mere child’s play. He didn’t have any special techniques, only a simple hand wave!
After several consecutive moves from Xuan Kong, those Postnatal Ninth Layer Experts were knocked to the ground, vomiting blood, severely injured, and had lost their strength to fight.
Without uttering any unnecessary words in front of the big bosses, Chen Shiqiang directly ordered the constables to bind these people and detain them on the side.
Without the support of the Postnatal Ninth Layer experts, the rest of the martial artists were no match for the Dragon Suppression Guard. Blood flew everywhere in an instant.
The Dragon Suppression Guard, their eyes red, gave the opponents no chance to beg for mercy, and directly slaughtered the martial artists on the spot.
They were out to avenge their colleague’s death. Upon seeing this, the likes of Xuan Kong could only press their hands together and chant “Amitabha”.
On the other side of the corner, Liang Ying was standing next to Chen Shiqiang, a gleam in his eyes, his decision to cooperate with Jinshan Temple was absolutely correct.
However, it was time to change the way he interacted with Jinshan Temple. After all, the circumstances had changed, there was an Innate Grandmaster now!
Right then, a hearty laughter came from Jinshan Temple, and immediately after, Prince Ye An of Ping’an walked out of Jinshan Temple, looking very smug.
He didn’t look at the martial artists who were lying on the ground at the moment, but walked straight to Xuan Kong, his attitude extremely humble.
“Master truly is unrivaled under heaven with his strength, justly deserving the title of an Innate Master. I am truly enlightened at this moment,” said the prince.
Xuan Kong gave a faint smile, “The prince jests, this was merely an ordinary display of martial arts.”
He then continued, “Your Highness, I’ve just made a breakthrough, and my realm is unstable. I must excuse myself now, as I need to consolidate my cultivation level. I hope you understand?”
Ye An naturally didn’t mind and quickly nodded.
“As you wish, Master. I will manage the situation here and ensure it does not become a problem for the temple.”
Hearing this, Xuan Kong immediately took his leave, while the monks and Dragon Suppression Guards of Jinshan Temple all rose to see him off.
After all, he was an Innate Master, a pillar of the nation!
However, nobody noticed as Xuan Kong glanced southeast out of the corner his eye before leaving.
About a mile away in the southeast direction, two people who caught Xuan Kong’s action felt a chill in their hearts. They didn’t dare stay any longer and hurriedly left.
However, Ye An and the others were clueless about this. At that moment, he looked at the Postnatal Ninth Layer Experts who had lost their battle strength and collapsed together.
He removed the masks from each of them. When he saw Qin Xing and Chu Xiong, he couldn’t help but smile, nearly revealing his teeth.
“Qin Xing, Chu Xiong, how have you two been?”
Without waiting for their responses, he continued in a serious tone, “Captain Wu, please escort our two honored guests to the backyard. Ensure they are properly entertained and not neglected.”
After speaking, Ye An paid no more attention to those lying on the ground. Instead, he made his way towards Xuan Nan and the others with a broad smile plastered on his face.
His journey to Jinshan Temple this time yielded more than he expected. Truly, as if Heaven was assisting him.
Outside Jinshan Temple.
Liang Sheng was still somewhat excited. An innate expert, fearsome indeed. This was akin to a nuclear weapon in the martial world, no wonder it was referred to as an Innate Nation Protector.
The destructive power of Postnatal Ninth Layer Realm masters was already astonishing, but against an innate expert, they didn’t even have a chance to retaliate.
Liang Sheng secretly compared the gap between himself and Xuan Kong and sighed in his heart. He probably wouldn’t last three moves against him.
However, Liang Sheng didn’t feel too disappointed. Even though he wasn’t a match for Xuan Kong, he could wear him out.
An innate master’s lifespan is 150 years. Despite practicing Lifespan Cultivation Technique and keeping themselves in optimum health, they can only live up to 180 years. By the time Xuan Kong has grown old, Liang Sheng would probably still be lively and energetic.
At this moment, a few martial artists outside Jinshan Temple suddenly showed excitement. Their bindings were removed by constables. It turned out they were the lucky ones chosen for release by Jinshan Temple.
After several confirmations, they were overjoyed, feeling fortunate to have survived.
Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but sigh. Ye An truly had effective means. From this day on, probably no one would dare to stir trouble in Jinzhou City for the prince.
After all, that’s an innate expert!
Finally, Liang Sheng managed to calm down. He decided not to concern himself with whether Jinshan Temple had more secrets. He prepared to leave because after all, it had nothing to do with him.
The show was over. Even if there were any surprises, they weren’t worth risking his safety for. Why expose himself to danger out of curiosity?
With that thought, Liang Sheng got ready to return to the city, choosing to retreat in the southeast direction this time.
Earlier, weren’t there two people from the No-Life Evil Cult over there?
Why did they come at this time? And why did they just watch from the shadows without acting rashly? Could it be that his defeat of Baldy had been exposed?
He feared Jinshan Temple because of Xuan Kong, but he didn’t spare a second thought for the two Postnatal Ninth Layer experts from the No-Life Evil Cult.
With that, Liang Sheng no longer hesitated. His figure vanished into the night, undetected by anyone..
