Outpouring IV
Zhang Rongyu: "."
She unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, and as she listened to Mr. Rong's explanation, the shock and disbelief in her eyes became clearer and clearer.
Looking at his younger brother, who remained silent in front of him.
Her body trembled slightly.
At first, when she heard that Zhang Rongfang was so powerful, she felt a little pleased and shocked.
But as the explanations followed, her initial delight gradually turned into shock.
It's important to understand that although she may occasionally use cunning and scheme to achieve her goals, she is fundamentally a kind-hearted person.
As Rong Fang heard more and more, her beautiful eyes revealed more and more shock and disbelief.
Countless thoughts raced and converged, and suddenly she stepped forward and grabbed her younger brother.
"Rong Fang, you're saying this isn't true? You've only been practicing martial arts for a few years! How could this be?! Those are all frame-ups, right? Right??"
Zhang Rongyu gripped Zhang Rongfang tightly with both hands, her fingernails almost breaking from the pressure. But she didn't notice at all.
She knew very well what the outcome and what the fate would be if she were on the Crimson List.
That meant he would forever be a villain wanted by the Ling Ting, forever unable to walk openly in the sunlight! Zhang Rongfang gently pulled his hands away from hers and instead took her hands in his own.
"It's true," he said softly. "But although I killed many people, they all deserved to die."
He held his sister's hand tightly.
"Even if I, Zhang Rongfang, have killed people, wiped out many families, and founded the Bloodsucking Immortal Path, I have a clear conscience! I am still a good person."
His voice was deep, revealing a firm resolve and seriousness.
Zhang Rongyu looked up at him, unable to tell whether what he said was true or false.
This unexpected turn of events completely disrupted all her plans before coming here.
The Crimson List and modern Confucian Sect are two places that are gradually drifting apart.
They were getting closer to returning, while the younger brother was gradually drifting away. "Master Zhang, you shouldn't have come back," Mr. Rong spoke again. This time, however, he was speaking to Zhang Rongfang alone.
"Why? Is there anyone here who can threaten me?" Zhang Rongfang retorted.
"Wu Mountain has always been my Wu Mountain."
He was polite to his sister, but he wasn't so easy to talk to the others.
"As expected, soon, many experts will join forces with a large army to besiege your Human Immortal Temple. Being newly listed on the Crimson List means you will inevitably face a large-scale siege. As the list with the most frequent updates, you're likely to have a lot of killings coming your way," Mr. Rong explained.
"So?" Zhang Rongfang turned to look at him. "What do you mean by coming out on your own initiative?"
"Consider it a good deed. Rest assured, Abbot, your sister will never suffer any injustice in my Righteous Lineage! Whether it's her status as the mother of the heir or her position on your side, she will never be treated unfairly," Mr. Rong replied.
He brought the latest news from the Crimson List, clearly to tip people off.
This information was so timely that even the Reverse Time Society and Zhang Rongfang themselves failed to obtain it. It was likely obtained through connections at the Academy.
Upon hearing this, both of them understood the meaning behind it.
The Confucian Sect Righteous Lineage wanted to retain the powerful external force of the Human Immortal Temple, but was unwilling to form a deeper relationship with the Crimson List.
So, the purpose of informing him was twofold: firstly, to establish a positive connection with the Human Immortal Temple; and secondly, subconsciously, to urge Zhang Rongfang to escape quickly and not linger.
Zhang Rongfang looked at her sister again and saw that she was still lost in thought.
In the end, I said no more.
"Keep the jade pendant safe."
He left behind a final sentence, turned around, and with a light step, he transformed into a red shadow, leaping over the wall and disappearing silently.
Only after he left did Zhang Rongyu suddenly wake up and take a few steps forward to chase after him.
"Rong Fang!" she cried out, tears welling in her eyes.
Outside the wall, the red figure paused slightly and turned its head away.
"Take care," Zhang Rongyu's voice came again.
Separated by the wall, Zhang Rongfang did not respond further. He vanished from the spot in a flash.
***Three days later.
Kun City.
Kun City with a spring-like climate all year round and full of blooming flowers, was once a place that attracted many tourists to visit and live in seclusion.
The City of a Hundred Flowers—that's how Kun City is perceived by ordinary people.
However, Western Sect built a huge temple called Jade Buddha Temple in this area.
Everything changed.
One after another, fat, big-eared, burly and powerful monks constantly bullied men and women, seized surrounding land, and secretly kidnapped and abducted any beautiful women they saw.
They also held a grand Sixteen Heavenly Demons Dance banquet in the temple, setting up thresholds to invite high-ranking officials, masters, and martial artists to join.
The entire Jade Buddha Temple has become the biggest den of iniquity in Kun City.
Few people know that this place was actually established by the Western Sect Sea Dragon as a transit station to gather beauties from all over the country and send them to Great Capital Upper Capital.
Just like the Citong Buddha Temple back then.
The only difference is that the beauties collected here are not from overseas.
Jade Buddha Temple at this time.
The Sea Dragon King Kong Fan moved his enormous body and stepped down from his seat in the main hall.
An uneasy glint flashed in his cunning little eyes. Looking at the disciple kneeling before him, who had come to deliver the message, his irritation only intensified.
"Have they sent someone to the Great Sect Alliance for help?! Why haven't they arrived yet??"
"Your Prince, the Great Sect Alliance won't even let me in through the gate. No matter what I say, no one listens. They're clearly planning to kick me while I'm down!" The monk kneeling on the ground was also in a panic.
Starting a few days ago, various branches of the Western Sect were successively provoked and wiped out.
None of the monks in the temple survived; they all died violent deaths.
The perpetrators were impossible to investigate. The True Buddha Temple dispatched experts, but every one they sent out died.
After this happened several times, even more people fled the Head Temple.
The Sea Dragon King Kong Fan was extremely vigilant. In addition, he had been handling miscellaneous affairs in the Sea Dragon Underground Palace for many years. So he immediately led his men and supplies away from Great Capital and rushed to this branch.
And now, everything is going as he predicted.
No sooner had he left than news of the Great Capital True Buddha Temple was suppressed.
People can neither get in nor get out.
Both Master Yuan and Yuan Hong, the two Spirit General, were trapped inside silently.
"The Great Sect Alliance is turning a blind eye. It seems we've been abandoned, just like the Eastern Sect back then," Kong Fan sighed.
"Never mind, I'm in a bad mood. Go get me some tender meat."
"Yes!" The disciple respectfully withdrew and quickly left the main hall.
Before long, he walked in, holding a little girl who was only ten or eleven years old in each hand.
"Master, all the ten-year-olds have been eaten, only this one is left."
Kong Fan glanced at the girl and nodded impatiently.
"Bring it here."
He likes to eat it raw, because it tastes the freshest and most tender. It's also the best way to relieve worries and anxieties.
The disciple grabbed the girl by the neck and pulled her closer step by step. Little did he know that the girl in his arms had hatred flashing in her lowered eyes.
A sharp, thin, black thorn slowly slid down the girl's right arm from behind and was held in her hand.
These cannibalistic monsters! They killed her brother and ate her sister.
Now it's her turn again.
With a sudden swoosh, the girl, displaying some martial arts skills, broke free from the disciple's grasp, gripped the black thorn tightly, and fiercely stabbed it towards Kong Fan.
Unfortunately, with a muffled thud, the black thorn pierced the side of Kong Fan's neck, but broke off.
"Hahahaha! Interesting, little thing, don't you know that I, Buddha, am protected by the Sea Dragon! Invulnerable to swords and spears??" Kong Fan patted his stomach and laughed loudly.
"Run away, try every possible way to escape. Once you're warmed up, you'll taste even better! Hahahaha!" His laughter carried a deep malice.
The girl trembled with fear, her pretty face turned pale, and she turned and ran. She had only just run out of the main hall.
Bang! Suddenly a loud noise rang out.
On the left, the heavy wooden door of the Jade Buddha Temple, which is more than three meters high, was smashed open by a tremendous force.
One door panel collapsed, another tilted, and they crashed heavily onto the two young monks who didn't have time to dodge.
The young novice was immediately crushed and turned into a bloody mess.
"Who goes there?!" Several Martial Monks rushed forward, wielding clubs and shouting.
But before they could react, two Bloody Figure flashed past.
Pfft.
With two sharp cracks, two of the Martial Monks had their throats severed on the spot and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
The remaining few were also enveloped by the blood shadow, their throats ripped open in the blink of an eye, and they fell to the ground dead.
A Daoist priest in a blood-red robe, his right arm completely black, slowly walked into the Jade Buddha Temple.
"The abbot said that the monks here can eat, is that true?"
The Daoist kept swallowing his saliva, as if he hadn't eaten meat in a long time. Suddenly seeing such delicacies, the greedy, evil, and violent feeling he exuded could make anyone tremble with fear at just a glance.
"It's true." Behind the Daoist priest, a strong young man quickly followed in. It was Ding Yu.
"The news from the Reverse Time Society means that everyone from the Sea Dragon headquarters has fled here. Don't make a mistake." He looked at the blood-robed, black-armed Daoist in front of him.
The black-armed Daoist was named Black Daoist, and he was one of the three first-generation Blood Descendant of the Human Immortal Temple who had just broken through to the Grandmaster level.
This time, I came specifically to accompany him to avenge my fallen brother!
"No, this humble Daoist prefers the vigorous and spirited. The women imprisoned here have too little blood energy; they're not even enough for a single breath," the Black Daoist said with slight dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Jade Buddha Temple, a group of Martial Monks wielding knives and clubs gathered and approached the two.
"Kill!"
Ding Yu let out a low shout, his eyes revealing the satisfaction of finally getting revenge. He was the first to rush forward.
Directly in front of him stood the little girl who had escaped, frozen in place.
Whoosh! Ding Yu brushed past her and pounced into the group of Martial Monks. With a casual grab, he turned a living person into a corpse.
Just after Ding Yu and the Black Daoist rushed into the Jade Buddha Temple.
On the outer open ground.
Zhang Rongfang stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at the Buddhist temple before him. Behind him, streaks of blood rose into the air, rushing towards the temple.
"Is it really necessary for you to personally intervene in the matter of just a mere Sea Dragon?"
Ran Xin Yue landed gently from a short distance away and stood beside him.
"Of course not," Zhang Rongfang said.
Looking into the temple from the gate, he saw the Sea Dragon King Kong Fan, who looked like a mountain of flesh, walking out of the main hall.
This great master, whom he could only look up to in the past, is now nothing more than an ant in his eyes.
"I'm not interested in Sea Dragon. But I am somewhat interested in the Sea Dragon God they worship."
Since we're about to wipe out Sea Dragon Clan, by killing as many of their followers as possible, we might be able to acquire another decent Remnant God.
Of course, this was just his arrangement.
As for whether the Sea Dragon God is willing or not, that's beyond its control.
