CHAPTER 736: CHAPTER 734 DE YUN TEMPLE [FIFTH UPDATE]

"Every passing step leaves a trace."

Under Lu Xiaobu’s command, Zhang Benhu mobilized all his subordinates he could call upon!

Thieves, hooligans, riff-raff, hoodlums!

No matter what the fuck you’re doing right now, go find clues for me now!

With this relentless search regardless of the costs, news quickly came pouring in.

"Young Master, the guy who was burned to death before was Yuan Chang, the bald guy from Thunder God eSports Hall some time ago!" Li Jin reported.

"Yuan Chang?! I remember there was another bald guy, right?"

Lu Xiaobu recalled another bald guy who defended Yuan Chang, seemingly named Qing Le.

"Yes, Qing Le, he’s the abbot of a small temple, but not here, he’s in Quanxi Province!" Li Jin nodded, "But we haven’t verified yet whether this guy is related to Yuan Chang!"

"Let’s go!"

Lu Xiaobu had no time to wait for verification; he would verify it himself!

...

Quanxi Province!

De Yun Temple!

Qing Le sat in the Zen room, inexplicably feeling restless and irritable.

He stood up and paced back and forth, feeling increasingly uneasy!

Then, unable to restrain himself, he still made a phone call: "Hello, you’re sure Yuan Chang hasn’t been captured, right?"

"Certain, he’s turned to ashes, who could capture him?!" An impatient voice came from the other side: "What? You’re still afraid Yuan Chang might rat you out!"

"It’s uncertain." Qing Le responded ambiguously, then a cruel glint flashed in his eyes: "Those from Shimen who knew about the situation, have they been dealt with?!"

At this moment, his cruel expression with murderous intent greatly contrasted with the antique, Buddhist atmosphere of the temple!

It was chilling to the bone!

No one would expect that the abbot of this bustling temple could be so utterly merciless!

"Don’t worry, they’ve all been dealt with!"

The person on the other side grew more impatient: "Okay, okay, hurry up and hang up!"

Then, the sound of a phone dropping could be heard, along with a trace of a sinister, lascivious voice: "Baby, here I come!"

"Damn it! He’ll die on a woman someday!" Qing Le cursed angrily and hung up the phone.

There was a time when he was a loyal monk!

But, once he realized being a monk couldn’t make money, he abandoned his faith!

Buddha?! Only those who could give him money were Buddhas!

Thus, he patiently endured and became the new abbot after the previous master passed away!

Soon, he leveraged his position to establish a new sect—All-Powerful Buddha!

Externally, it claimed to be a sect derived from but superior to Buddhism!

Since then, leveraging his status as abbot, everything went smoothly for him!

More and more followers, growing power!

Simultaneously, the number of people he knew and their statuses also increased!

The more people he knew, his prestige grew, and so did his followers!

That feeling, he was addicted to it, totally inseparable!

After all, he truly enjoyed that sense, when those foolish followers treated him as a god!

And as a god, he could demand anything from his followers, his word was law!

Money, women, everything he wanted was easily within his grasp!

This was life!

However, it all came to an end with Lu Xiaobu’s emergence!

Master Xue Yun’s disgust toward him led to all his acquaintances becoming utterly indifferent toward him!

A virtuous cycle suddenly turned into a vicious one!

How could he not hate Lu Xiaobu!

But, he had no power to take revenge!

However, just at this moment, someone found him!

Someone who could offer him support!

And this person was also an enemy of Lu Xiaobu!

Naturally, they hit it off right away!

That’s how the current grand scene of the growth and development of the All-Powerful Buddhism came about, and how the opportunity for revenge against Lu Xiaobu arose!

However, what he didn’t understand was why the other party insisted on taking revenge on Lu Xiaobu in this way?!

Although it was extremely satisfying, it also exposed them!

Thinking this, he shook his head—Forget it, why overthink it? As long as they weren’t exposed, he could just continue being his divine self!

"Master, it’s time to preach."

A bald man walked in and said to Qing Le.

"En, I know."

Qing Le nodded impatiently.

If you want the horse to run fast, you have to let the horse graze.

So, he took off his bespoke Italian suit, removed his Swiss watch, and took off his handful of pearl agate rings.

Then, he put on the monk’s robe that he had set aside.

The robe looked ordinary, but it always subtly shimmered with bursts of gold.

Because, it contained more than a few threads of gold; only then did he leave his room, crafted to be as pristine as the environment, and proceeded to the outside meditation hall.

Then, four or five makeup artists came up to do his makeup, making him look brighter and more refined.

Every time Qing Le saw this scene, he felt immensely proud.

What are these?!

These are all money!

Where does the money come from?!

From those stupid believers, of course!

The times when he saw those believers obediently bringing him money were his happiest moments.

Finally, he was ready.

With a compassionate Buddha-like expression, he left the meditation hall and went outside.

At this moment, the place was already filled with believers!

As soon as they saw him come out, the believers at the front immediately erupted in a neat tsunami of shouts!

"Great All-Powerful Buddha! Great Master Qing Le! Thank you for receiving us amidst your busy schedule! Please bestow your blessings upon us!"

"Great All-Powerful Buddha! Great Master Qing Le! Thank you for receiving us amidst your busy schedule! Please bestow your blessings upon us!"

"Great All-Powerful Buddha! Great Master Qing Le! Thank you for receiving us amidst your busy schedule! Please bestow your blessings upon us!"

"..."

These words kept repeating, accompanied by devoted words and a series of complex and elaborate rituals.

The new believers looked somewhat confused.

"What’s going on?!"

"What are they doing?!"

"Wasn’t it supposed to be a sermon?!"

"What are those actions?!"

"..."

And some of the slightly older believers began to explain quietly.

"Shh! Don’t talk! Just watch and learn! This is the All-Powerful Buddha sensing everyone’s sincerity!"

"Yes! One day, we will also get to the front! So, we must be wholehearted!"

"Only by treating the All-Powerful Buddha wholeheartedly will the All-Powerful Buddha bless you!"

"Let me tell you, one of my relatives is among the believers at the front! He initially had cancer! Cancer, he was almost dead! But because he treated the All-Powerful Buddha wholeheartedly, guess what?! Cured! Not a trace of the disease left!"

"Yes! I also have a friend! Previously, Master Qing Le said his body had too much cold energy, he didn’t believe it! Then, he listened to a sermon, guess what?! He sweated buckets! It was miraculous!"

"..."
