The moment the Blue-Faced Arhat appeared, all of Arhat City erupted.
Monks from temples large and small knelt on the ground, reciting Buddhist sutras.
For ordinary people, the sight was far too overwhelming.
The martial artists of the various factions stationed in Arhat City also looked terrified. Compared with ordinary people, they felt it more clearly.
That invisible power settled on them like a massive boulder on their backs, leaving them unable to move.
Outside Arhat City, three men shoveling noodles into their mouths stared at the Blue-Faced Arhat in astonishment.
One of them spoke indistinctly, without even managing to swallow his noodles:
"Zhao Heavenly King was right? Arhat Temple really did have a big fish?!"
The other two exchanged a glance, set down their bowls, and charged straight toward Arhat City.
"Zhao Heavenly King's disciple is still inside. Hurry and help!"
The remaining man hastily took out one liang of silver, tossed it to the noodle stall owner, who was already kneeling and praying incessantly, and followed them.
Then the golden barrier stopped all three outside.
No matter how they channeled their power and struck it, they could not break through.
"We're screwed! We can't even get in now!"
"I told you we should stay closer. You two both said we'd scare off the big fish if we followed too closely! This is all your fault!"
"You were the one who suggested coming out for noodles! You're already in the upper third rank, yet you're still such a glutton. This is on you, Wei Shenwu!"
"Exactly! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be stuck outside the city!"
"Chu Pinglan, Han Xiaoyao, are you two even listening to yourselves? What's wrong with having a bowl of noodles? How was I supposed to know the big fish would appear now?
