The three met the abbot of Thousand Buddha Temple.
He was an elderly man with kind features and gentle eyes, looking utterly different from True Lord Lingfeng of old.
Uchiha Shin and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had also learned that True Lord Lingfeng was an exceptionally ruthless man, vicious in his methods and remarkably bold. Otherwise, he would never have dared to launch a sneak attack on Nuwa back then.
Yet the man before them bore not the slightest resemblance to the True Lord Lingfeng they had heard described.
"Which one of you is Shen Gongbao?" the old monk asked with a smile.
Uchiha Shin stepped forward. "I am."
The old monk studied Uchiha Shin for a moment, then nodded. "Mm, indeed. You still look just as you did back then."
"True Lord Lingfeng, how did you become like this?" Uchiha Shin asked.
True Lord Lingfeng said, "I have always looked like this."
The three of them sat down nearby.
"I called you here this time because I wanted to get in touch with you. I am now serving the Jade Emperor. Would you be interested in joining forces with me?" Uchiha Shin asked.
True Lord Lingfeng replied, "I have already abandoned all conflict. I only wish to be an ordinary monk here and live out the rest of my days."
Uchiha Shin looked at True Lord Lingfeng. This old monk truly sounded convincing.
Uchiha Shin spoke with True Lord Lingfeng for quite a while longer and found him to be a very kind and gentle monk. He seemed quite decent.
His gaze shifted to Eastern Emperor Taiyi. If True Lord Lingfeng had truly turned over a new leaf and become a good man, should they still eliminate him?
Eastern Emperor Taiyi kept his cold gaze fixed on True Lord Lingfeng
