CHAPTER 1010: CHAPTER 799-800: ENEMIES OF THE ENTIRE SECT! IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES

"In worldly matters, once finished, naturally becomes non-action, but true leisure follows the Tao. I seek immortal traces in the empty gate, who asks questions for the Temple seeking the Dragon’s trail?"

Jiang Dali looked ahead at the stone table in Mingxuan where four people sat calmly, and walked over with his hands behind his back, reciting a poem with plain feeling.

The hidden sarcasm in the poem, given the wisdom of Master Feixuan and others who have read extensively, is naturally discernible. It implies that you all have already entered the empty gate to seek immortal fate, pursue non-action, and ignore worldly matters. So why shamelessly intervene in temple affairs to support the True Dragon?

Master Feixuan and the four others listened to the poem, and their expressions showed not the slightest change, each charming and beautiful face as calm as still water.

One elegant silhouette gracefully stood up, her bright eyes like floating clouds in the sky glanced at Jiang Dali and spoke softly, "Master Jiang, it seems you have a deep misunderstanding of our institution. In fact, our ancestor predicted your visit after leaving Ming Country, thus recalled us here to await your arrival and resolve the misunderstanding with the village chief you."

"Misunderstanding? This village chief doesn’t think there is any misunderstanding between us. From the beginning to the end, we simply follow different paths and cannot conspire together."

Jiang Dali paused and spoke plainly, his gaze sweeping over the four women in front of him with a faint smile.

Indeed, each was a remarkable figure from the Martial World, with differing temperaments. Based on information and experience gathered from forums in this life and the previous, he easily recognized three of the four women.

The woman speaking was Lei Bingyun, possessing an unbelievably delicate and pure face, an untouchable noble posture, and a gracefully alluring figure which seemed to hint at an elusive Heavenly Mechanism. Her yellow silk clothes gently wrapped her slender and exquisite, seemingly fragile body, her eyes filled with a lasting sorrow that seemed eternal.

Another woman in plain, coarse white clothing was Qin Mengyao. The simple pale rough cloth she wore was more beautiful than any lavish attire, her gentle face showing no subtle changes, but had an elegance that exuded Spiritual Energy, with her pure eyes like the clear mirror-like Heart Lake.

Looking again at the third woman, she appeared middle-aged, with a thin and clear face, her phoenix eyes leisurely gazed, her appearance calm and beautiful. Though middle-aged, you could still see her exceptional beauty when young. Jiang Dali, however, did not recognize her.

Finally, there was Master Feixuan, a spiritual figure whose essence seemed untainted by worldly dust.

At this moment, the woman who resembled middle age slowly rose, quietly reciting a Buddhist mantra, hands together in prayer, "Master Jiang rose from humble beginnings, and swept through the Martial World in mere months, causing chaos everywhere. Do you not know that the more sins committed, the deeper the Karma? Why not perform good deeds and accumulate virtue to leave a lasting legacy?"

"This humble nun, Jing Yi, also observed your support of the Song Country’s achievements, knowing you have the heart to aid and save the world. Alas, your actions are too indulgent, stirring trouble everywhere, which is far from wise."

Wan Wan chuckled mockingly, "Hohoho, Master Jing Yi, is it truly wise like your Cihang Jingzhai meddling in several vassal states provoking True Dragon wars?"

"Who do I see here—it’s the thirteenth generation Chief of Cihang Jingzhai, Master Jing Yi."

With scorn, Jiang Dali focused on the nun, then cast his gaze towards Mingxuan with a laugh, "This village chief doesn’t care for your nonsense teachings. Inside Mingxuan, there’s another presence. Could it be your ninth generation ancestor, senior Yun Xiangzhen? Why not come out and speak?"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Just then, a Buddhist mantra echoed from inside Mingxuan, sent forth in absolute harmony.

Though the voice was not loud, it possessed a profound and influential force, which made anyone who heard it feel the urge to let go of all resentments and embrace calm.

"Chief!"

Master Feixuan and Jing Yi including others turned to face Mingxuan and bowed.

With a squeak!

Mingxuan’s Gate gently opened wide.

A silhouette, almost like a paper, floated out effortlessly, gently landing on the ground before them, exuding a natural and peaceful aura, with eyes like bright pearls seemingly able to easily penetrate the human heart falling on Jiang Dali.

Instantly Jiang Dali felt an intensified sensation of being "watched by an eye," as if the opponent saw through all his practicing routes and the total True Qi within his Dantian.

Alarmed, he squinted his eyes at the suddenly appeared old nun surrounded by a dangerous purple glow.

"Yun Xiangzhen!"

Wan Wan also appeared panic-stricken, staring at the possibility of encountering an old monster who might have lived for over two hundred years.

Although the opponent’s skin showed many wrinkles, the five facial contours still revealed the remarkable beauty she possessed when young, displaying a celestial grace.

At this time, the opponent brought hands together in prayer, gazing at Jiang Dali with eyes bright enough to perceive all secrets, spoke calmly.

"Master Jiang, we at Cihang Jingzhai have always cherished harmony, treating people with sincerity, much praised by the people.

Though indeed, the past support of the Dragon stirred conflicts with bloodshed, it was an attempt to use minor chaos to prevent greater chaos, Return to Normal.

Just unfortunate, Master Jiang seems to not recognize this reasoning. This humble nun has only set tea for a banquet today, hoping to turn hostility into friendship with Master Jiang. What does Master Jiang think?"

"Hahaha, if I think otherwise, would this day mean standing against your entire Cihang Jingzhai!?"
