CHAPTER 537: CHAPTER 539 TURMOIL IN THE BUDDHIST SECT!

At the base of the mountain, inside the Scripture Pavilion!

A tall monk’s figure stood among them, wearing a string of prayer beads formed by fist-sized beads around his neck.

He stood there like a small mountain.

He was the current abbot of the Buddhist Sect, Master Liao Kong!

At this moment, his eyes, carrying a hint of golden light, were gazing at a bookshelf in front of him.

On the bookshelf, there was an empty space, missing a book.

The missing secret manual was the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill!

This cultivation technique was extremely miraculous!

Now it had disappeared, stolen by someone else!

"Did anyone see clearly who stole the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill?" he asked coldly.

His voice was heavy, carrying an air of authority!

The monks standing behind him all lowered their heads.

Only one monk, with perfect features and an elderly face, spoke up.

"Abbot, I saw the person who stole the book.

It was Kong Xiang from the Dharma Hall.

But the disciples we sent just now found him in his room.

He was sleeping and knew nothing about the incident at the Cangjin Pavilion!

Moreover, he already knows how to cultivate the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill, and has no reason to steal this cultivation technique!

This suggests someone disguised as him and deceived my eyes, stealing this cultivation technique!" he replied.

He then bowed deeply.

"Abbot, this matter is my fault!

I have not guarded the Scripture Pavilion well, and I ask for the abbot’s punishment!"

Liao Kong slowly turned back, his face square-shaped.

His eyebrows were thick, resembling an honest-looking rough man!

One would not associate his appearance with that of the abbot of the Buddhist Sect!

However, whether among his peers or other elders or disciples within the Buddhist Sect,

everyone knew clearly that this abbot was indeed remarkable, not to be judged by appearance!

His wisdom, ability, and cultivation were beyond their comparison.

He was someone they looked up to!

Everyone admired, respected, and esteemed this abbot!

"Punishment can be discussed later.

First, find the outsider who stole the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill and do not let him escape!

Otherwise, this Yijing Bone washing skill Skill will spread to the world!" the abbot said.

"Yes!" the elderly monk continued. "Abbot, although I did not see his true face,

I injured him, and he is still within the temple. He should not be able to escape."

"That’s for the best, have them search diligently!" Liao Kong said.

The elderly monk glanced at the people behind him, then turned back and used the Secret Transmission method to speak to Liao Kong again.

"Abbot, I still find something questionable.

I can understand how the other party managed to sneak into the temple, as the gates of the Buddhist Sect are always open, welcoming people from all over the world!

But inside the Scripture Pavilion, with numerous arrays and prohibitions,

no one has ever been able to sneak in!

How did a thief from outside know how to get in?"

Liao Kong’s eyes were deep and profound.

"You mean someone from the Buddhist Sect revealed how to open the prohibitions? How to enter the Scripture Pavilion?

Or are you suggesting that the book thief is actually a disciple of our Buddhist Sect?"

"Yes, I have this hypothesis!"

Liao Kong’s expression grew serious.

"Understood, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Yes, Abbot!"

Suddenly, Liao Kong noticed an old monk resembling a withered tree drifting outside the Scripture Pavilion.

"Master Kurong, you must quickly return, you cannot leave!" the abbot shouted immediately.

Kurong stopped in his tracks.

"Why? Do you mean the Unicorn Pegasus will escape?

Liao Kong, you’re overthinking it!

The Unicorn Pegasus is under a spell, and with the cleansing of the Buddhist sound,

it is about to forget all its past and completely convert to our Buddha!

It will not escape!"

Liao Kong urgently shook his head.

"No, it’s that someone might take advantage of the chaos here to sneak up the mountain and take it away!"

To take away the Unicorn Pegasus?

"Who? Is it the accomplice of the one who stole the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill?" Kurong asked.

He had already turned his head, conversing with the abbot Liao Kong through Secret Transmission skill.

"Not sure, this was told by Uncle Master Kong Ming who guards the Demon Dragon.

He is uncertain if it’s true or not.

He informed me, and I am unsure as well!

Master, you should go back and watch over it just in case.

I will handle the matter of the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill!" Liao Kong explained.

"Agreed, although words from the Demon Dragon aren’t credible, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

The Unicorn Pegasus has nearly converted to our Buddha, we cannot afford mistakes."

"Yes, Master, sorry for the trouble!"

Once Kurong’s figure disappeared, Liao Kong furrowed his brows tightly.

"Today’s occurrences are quite numerous!

If this had happened on the day All Buddhas descended, it would be better!

With their cultivation, they could see through everything within the Buddhist Sect temple,

and no hidden person would remain unseen!"

Not long after, Kurong’s voice, transmitting from afar, came to his ears.

"The Unicorn Pegasus is still there, unchanged!"

Liao Kong’s furrowed brow slightly eased.

"Now, we just need to find the person who stole the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill!"

Yang Yan came down from the mountain, encountering many monks with profound cultivation along the way.

They were searching through the dense forest, looking for something.

"Are they looking for the person who stole the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill?"

Yang Yan knew what they were searching for and didn’t mind, walking past them.

He hid himself in the void using his self-comprehended Space Dao.

Unless another cultivator practicing the Space Dao at a similar realm as him came along, no one could see him.

Otherwise, no one would see his figure!

In the world, there were too few cultivators practicing the Space Dao and reaching his level!

Down the mountain, there were more monks, all searching for the person who stole the Yijing Bone washing skill Skill!

But these monks’ cultivation was not as profound as those above the mountain.

Yang Yan felt even more unrestrained!

He casually passed through them, heading towards the back mountain.

The monks who brushed past him were oblivious to Yang Yan’s presence.

As Yang Yan continued west, he saw monks such as Jiese and Wu E also looking for that person among them.

"That person is quite good at hiding!"

Continuing forward, past the heavy mountains, there was finally only one path ahead.

This was a narrow path between two mountains.

Beside the road stood a stone stele, inscribed with five characters!

"Back mountain, cemetery!"

"Here we are!"

Yang Yan glanced around without hesitation and stepped onto this path.

Passing through the two mountains, the deeper he went, the fewer trees and rocks there were.

There were also fewer monks appearing here!

After walking one stick incense worth of time, green grasses gradually appeared before him.

Treading over the grasses, he came to the end of the narrow path.

The end was not a mountain, nor a dense forest, but a desolate plain!

On the plain, many small black towers stood!

These towers were two people high, erected at random locations.

Quiet!

This plain was frighteningly quiet, so quiet a pin drop could be heard!

Yang Yan gazed into the distance, and at the deepest part of the plain, an even larger, towering black tower stood!

At the top of the black tower, a bright and gentle light was shining.

It illuminated all around, like a bright pearl!

"Is that the Eighteen Layers Relic Tower?"

The top, which looked like a bright pearl, should be the Shariputra.

"I wonder whose Shariputra it is, so dazzling!"

Without thinking much, Yang Yan crossed the narrow path and entered the plain.

Before entering, Yang Yan did not sense anything unusual, not even a sound.

Once inside, he realized that the place was resonating with Buddhist sounds everywhere!

The Buddhist sounds were vast, even causing ripples in the void!

"Fortunately, I have a thorough understanding of space!"

He remained unaffected in the void.

Suddenly!

A sound came from ahead, and a figure a thousand meters away was squeezed out of the void, spitting blood, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, a golden page flew out and landed on the ground not far away!

"Hmm?"
