Chapter 162 The young monk is kind-hearted, but the Soul Palace comes to deceive him.
The monks were astonished by his words!
Shan Yi and Jue Yun were so frightened that they knelt on the ground!
Tong Zhu coldly said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Or are you trying to make excuses?"
"Pfft!!"
After only two sentences, Shan Yi and Jue Yun were already coughing up blood and lying on the ground unable to move!
None of the other monks dared to speak!
This is the aura of a King Realm expert! An aura that is almost tangible!
Shan Yi is at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, and Jue Yun is at the third level of the Void God stage. However, in front of this King Realm expert, they are not even as good as chicks!
During the Void Spirit stage, one gathers the soul and spirit, transforms the elixir to nourish the spirit, and then one can comprehend the power of heaven and earth.
Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, once the nascent soul is formed, it becomes more compatible with the power of heaven and earth, thus creating a powerful aura.
However, this kind of momentum is empty, all show and no substance.
However, those below the Nascent Soul stage must be subdued, hence this realm is also known as the Venerable Realm.
Above the Venerable Realm is the Out-of-Body Stage, also known as the Grandmaster Realm. At this stage, one can absorb the power of heaven and earth and transform one's aura into an aura field, which has the flavor of turning the illusory into the real.
Moreover, those at the Grandmaster level can have their nascent soul leave their body and travel in spirit, making them many times more powerful than those at the Venerable level.
Above the Grandmaster realm is the Divine Travel stage. The nascent soul of a cultivator in this realm has already solidified into a physical form, just like a real person. Their aura can even solidify from the void. How terrifying is that?
Reaching this realm grants one the power to reign supreme among cultivators. Therefore, this realm is also known as the King's Realm.
"Speak, who instructed you to harm people? Are there any accomplices in Dacheng Temple? Furthermore, why did you plot to kill Prince Lin?" Tong Zhu sighed and withdrew his imposing aura.
Da Tong Heng Shan Jue, the Shan generation and the Jue generation, have almost all grown up under the care of the same person, and are like family. If these two confess the truth, he will plead with Lin Shao Ping to save their lives.
"Grandmaster, it's all my fault. Please forgive Jueyun!" Shan Yi crawled to Tong Zhu's side, kowtowing and pleading for mercy.
Jueyun is Shanyi's disciple and is not yet twenty years old. If Jueyun dies because of him, he will die with regrets.
"Grandmaster, it was my fault! Please forgive my master! I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"
Jueyun also crawled up to Tongzhu and kowtowed, crying out his grievances.
Chu Feng shook his head. Anyone who joins the Ten Souls Hall must ingest poison. If they are discovered, do you think you can live? Wishful thinking.
As a Venerable One, the poison Shan Yi ingested must be different. What difference does it make whether or not we spare them?
Once you've embarked on this path, there's no turning back!
Tong Zhu sighed, "I just used my divine sense to examine your physical bodies, and both of you have been poisoned. I have no cure for this poison."
For a moment, Tong Zhu was at a loss for words.
Even if he pleads for them, it will only temporarily save their lives.
In the end, it's still a dead end.
Of course, Chu Feng already possesses the strength of a Venerable Realm expert, so it's not impossible for him to save the two of them with the power of the seed.
However, even if Chu Feng saves them today, those who have joined the Ten Souls Hall will have their lives taken by members of the Ten Souls Hall again.
Moreover, if Shan Yi and Jue Yun are pitiable, aren't the people they poisoned also pitiable?
If Chu Feng hadn't been there, Lin Shaoping would most likely have been tricked by the two of them; those who kill will be killed in return.
“Speak! Why did you harm people? Who instructed you? Are there any accomplices among you here? Dacheng Temple never taught you to harm people!” Tongde shouted coldly.
The Buddhist community has always been benevolent, peaceful, and focused on quiet cultivation. The existence of Dacheng Temple was intended to suppress the demonic abode, but unexpectedly, two corrupt officials have emerged!
Tongzhu closed his eyes and said, "Dacheng Temple has nurtured and taught you, yet you are ungrateful and have turned your backs on the Buddhist order. You truly deserve to die."
"Grandmaster! That's not how it is! It was those people who asked Master to poison the three Grandmasters. Master refused, so they sent us to poison Prince Lin. We did not betray Dacheng Temple!" Jueyun suddenly shouted.
He shouted and kowtowed on the ground. How strong was the physical body of a Void God stage cultivator? He actually kowtowed until he bled.
"What? You two were ordered to poison us?" Tong Zhu stood up in shock.
Dacheng Temple is a place of peace and tranquility; why would these people want to harm them?
Tongde's expression also became serious.
An enemy lurking in the shadows is terrifying! An enemy that appears from nowhere is even more terrifying!
Shan Yi cried out, "Grandmaster, your disciple and Jue Yun went to the imperial city to exchange for resources..."
It turned out that when Shan Yi and Jue Yun went to the capital to buy resources, they encountered a little girl who was unconscious.
As a disciple of the Buddhist order, with a heart devoted to good, I would naturally not ignore it.
So, Shan Yi and his companion took the little girl to the nearby "Renyitang" for treatment.
Little did they know, it was all a scam. As soon as they entered Renyitang, they were hit by a poisonous fog and lost their ability to move.
What followed was perfectly logical.
Those people threatened them, telling them to poison Tongzhu and the others, promising them the antidote if they killed the three Tongzhu members.
Having received immense kindness from Dacheng Temple, how could the two possibly agree? They would rather die than comply!
Then those people told the two that even if they didn't poison them, others would still try to harm their fellow inhabitants.
However, as long as the two of them obeyed orders and worked for them, they would no longer target their fellow residents.
For the sake of Dacheng Temple and to protect Tongzhu and the others, the two had no choice but to obey orders and take action against Lin Shaoping.
Lin Shaoping and the others nodded in agreement. If that was the case, the two were indeed loyal and righteous, and it wasn't impossible for them to let them off the hook.
“How foolish! Those people just want to take advantage of you. Once they do it once, they’ll do it ten times or a hundred times!” Tongde sighed.
Fortunately, the two of them did not betray Dacheng Temple, otherwise, it would have saddened many people!
The officer asked, "Who were the people who attacked you? Speak up, tell us! Dacheng Temple isn't afraid of them!"
At this moment, those who were stationed together and shared the same virtue were already harboring murderous intent towards the person who had poisoned them!
Although the Buddhist sect is detached from worldly affairs, it also possesses methods for subduing demons!
Shan Yi cried out, "Grandmaster, the person who poisoned us was from the Ten Souls Hall."
"What? The Ten Souls Hall!" Tong Zhu's expression immediately changed upon hearing the name.
Only Chu Feng, Lin Shaoping, and others remained unmoved.
Lin Shaoping and the others had no idea of the Ten Souls Hall's existence, so they certainly wouldn't react.
Chu Feng had known about the Ten Souls Hall for a long time, and had even killed several of its members. He was like a man with many debts, not a man with many lice.
However, judging from Tong Zhu's expression, he had heard of the Ten Souls Hall.
"I can't believe it! They've really come!" Tongde said solemnly.
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master Tongde, did you know that the Ten Souls Hall was coming?"
Isn't Dacheng Temple supposed to be a peaceful place? How did it get entangled with the Ten Souls Hall?
Tongde waved his hand and said, "You may all leave. Shanyi and Jueyun, please stay."
The affairs of the Ten Souls Hall should not be spread, as they involve too many secrets!
