Shen Ying withdrew the Peach Blossom Evil, revealing Peach Blossom Manor beneath the deep, shadowy trees.
The fierce battle just now had taken place in Peach Blossom Manor's front courtyard. Yet the trapping formation formed by the Peach Blossom Evil had been so powerful that even the manor grounds had suffered little damage.
Lu Zheng and the others did not feel much about it, but Fan Boyu clicked his tongue. "Two eminent monks from Great Joy Temple, and they just died like that?"
"What, are eminent monks from Great Joy Temple not allowed to die?" Du YueYao asked unhappily.
"That's not what I meant."
Fan Boyu waved his hands repeatedly. "You must know that the Great Joy Zen Monastery in the Southern Border is merely a branch of Great Joy Temple in the Western Buddha Country, yet it still styles itself as orthodox Buddhism in the Southern Border. Its strength is not weak."
Lu Zheng asked, "How does it compare to the Yuan Sheng Sect?"
Fan Boyu straightened his back. "Of course it cannot compare to the Holy Sect!"
"Really? I don't believe you." Lu Zheng shot Fan Boyu a sidelong glance.
Fan Boyu coughed twice. "When the Jade Kun Holy Maiden was around, we were roughly on par with the Great Joy Zen Monastery. But once Holy Maiden Yue Yao revives the Holy Sect, that mere Great Joy Zen Monastery will certainly be no match for us!"
Everyone laughed at that, and Du YueYao felt especially embarrassed. Fan Boyu had truly placed all his hopes on her, but she really did not have such great ambition! "Hm?" Lu Zheng suddenly gave a soft cry and looked west.
"What is it?" Liu Qingyan hurriedly asked.
"Nothing." Lu Zheng shook his head. "A monk is passing by somewhere very far away."
