Master Liuyun, the abbot of Buddha's Fate Temple, had presided over the temple for more than seven hundred years. Although he had gone to great lengths to conceal it, Lin Bai could still tell that Master Liuyun possessed a cultivation level in the Calamity Dao Realm. It seemed he truly did not wish to take part in the struggle for supremacy over the Barren Ancient Continent, and thus was not a member of the Savage Soul Society.
Before long, the old monk who had gone to invite Holy Maiden Jiuci returned and respectfully uttered a Buddhist invocation. "Merciful Buddha, Abbot, Sword King, Jiuci is waiting outside."
Lin Bai and Master Liuyun exchanged a smile. Before either of them could speak, Zhao Tiedan hurriedly rose and shouted, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry and let her in!"
"Tiedan, this is a sacred Buddhist land. Don't be rude." Lin Bai reprimanded him with a slightly stern expression.
Zhao Tiedan gave Lin Bai a foolish grin, his face filled with joy.
Master Liuyun smiled. "Merciful Buddha. Let Jiuci in."
Everyone turned toward the hall entrance. Lin Bai, A Ning, and the others had come from the Eastern Continent. They had only heard of Holy Maiden Jiuci's sacred name and had never seen her in person. Now, they also wanted to see just what sort of marvelous Buddhist figure could make Zhao Tiedan yearn for her day and night.
It was not only Lin Bai and the others. The Western Continent's Buddhist monks and the experts from Buddha Land and the Buddhist City nearby all turned their heads as well. They had never seen Holy Maiden Jiuci either.
After Holy Maiden Jiuci entered Buddha's Fate Temple, she had always been cultivating in seclusion within a forbidden area deep in the Thousand Buddha Mountain
