"Reveals divine power!"
The angry voice roared like a muffled thunder, yet it did not interrupt the loud chanting.
The senior immortal furrowed his brow, his confusion deepening in his eyes.
I actually didn't understand, but there was a touch of familiarity in the voice.
I quickly realized it.
Was that voice the old Chu's?
In an instant, several figures emerged from the direction of the path up the mountain.
That's the little old Chu right in front!
But he wasn't fat anymore, his whole body thinner by several circles, his head bald as a polished egg, and even had the mark of a monk!
Moreover, Yang Gui Jin followed beside him, his emaciated figure, his head also shaved clean like a monk's!
There were several monks and an emaciated old monk besides the two of them.
I recognized that, it was clearly one of the twin monks!
The chanting continued without pause, and in the night, there were countless monks in the forest.
A few faces of the Heavenly Longevity Taoists revealed a painful expression.
As if the intangible chanting was exerting pressure on them.
My father sat on the stretcher, still motionless.
"Good you, Lu Xian Shen, you actually emerged! And brought so many helpers?" Luo's questioning voice echoed like a bell.
On the side, Yang Gui Jin's face was expressionless, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
The old monk on the other side held his palm up to his chest with one hand, while the other hand held a staff, giving off a sense of calm.
However, the Heavenly Longevity Elder began to doubt, staring at me intently. Clearly, he had begun to misunderstand, thinking that Tendai Temple and we were on the same side. Luo's question filled with resentment directly told him the answer.
"Yes, I not only ran out, but also brought help. Old Chu, your cunning calculations were all for nothing. As a monk in Tendai Temple, you must have lived a very austere life."
I spoke out loud, deliberately trying to provoke the old Chu!
"You!"
Old Chu glared at him.
At this moment, the old monk stepped forward two steps, said, "Amen," and then continued, "Monks and Taoists are of the same family. Please, all Taoist elders, descend from the mountain. Do not ascend to Gaotian Mountain again. The abbey is willing to set up a vegetarian banquet within the temple to entertain all of you."
The Heavenly Longevity Elder's eyes revealed a cold expression, with just one sentence.
"Monk, go away!"
Upon learning that I had no connection with Tendai Temple, the Heavenly Longevity Elder's face seemed to be stimulated even more, and his expression grew colder.
"Taoist elder, why are you so bullying? Gaotian Mountain is not something that outsiders can climb."
The old monk was not angry, and his tone was calm.
"Is it us who are bullying or you monks? Chanting the sutras is quite enjoyable, isn't it?"
The aura of murderous intent in the Heavenly Longevity Elder's voice became more and more intense!
"All disciples listen to the command, slaughter these monks! Do not let the elder of Gaotian Mountain be disappointed."
Instantly, all the Heavenly Longevity Taoists were full of fury!
"Gaotian?"
Yang Gui Jin finally spoke, his voice shaking, and he looked panicked.
"The Waymaster of Gaotian is in the coffin, a fraud pretending to be divine!"
Old Chu cursed loudly, and shouted again: "Luo Muye, can't you see old Yang and me?!" "Alright, if both of you are still alive, then you should die!"
Old Chu lifted his finger and pointed directly at my father!
The Heavenly Longevity Elder suddenly raised his hand and pointed at two places on my chest, causing a stinging pain. At the same time, there was a sense of restriction, and my body couldn't move an inch.
In the next instant, he suddenly rushed out, straight at old Chu!
All the Heavenly Longevity Taoists scattered and rushed into the surrounding dense forests!
There were still a dozen or so people who hadn't moved yet. Their abilities were even weaker, and it was clear that the ghost they had cultivated on their bodies was injured by the chanting.
They divided into a third and managed to reach us and my mother, guarding us.
All of this happened too quickly, almost like a bolt of lightning, and the Heavenly Longevity Elder was already in front of old Chu.
Old Chu himself wasn't very formidable; how could the people from the City God's Temple be strong?
The twin monks moved, and their staffs hit the Heavenly Longevity Elder's head with force!
"Amen, heavenly longevity demons, die!"
No wonder the Heavenly Longevity Elder directly started fighting at the slightest provocation.
I just realized the meaning of his previous words.
The monks of Tendai Temple had already discovered that they were not other Taoists but the Heavenly Longevity Daoist Clique.
A resounding crash, the staff did not hit the Heavenly Longevity Elder's head.
The Heavenly Longevity Elder raised his hands and held two copper swords, which interlaced to block the staff!
Sparks flew immediately.
Beside the twin monks were two other monks, who shouted together and then pulled out two long sticks from behind, striking down towards the Heavenly Longevity Elder!
The Heavenly Longevity Elder let out a loud scream and two fresh red ghost shadows appeared on his body, charging towards the two monks.
He forced his hand upwards, and the staff was raised with great force, causing the twin monks to stagger back two steps.
The ordinary Heavenly Longevity Taoists were able to escape because there were so many of them, and the upper-level Taoists were being blocked by the experts of the Heavenly Longevity Temple.
The strength of the Heavenly Longevity Elder is not to be underestimated. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the sole survivor among the elders.
The incantation sound resonated from his mouth.
A very thick ghost shadow emerged from behind him.
It looked like an old man who was almost elderly, and his aura was even more like a longevity immortal.
A set of dead man's clothes inscribed with characters representing longevity, exuding boundless resentment.
This old ghost was not red, but rather a reddish blue!
The ghost shadow rushed towards the twin monks, and the Heavenly Longevity Elder swung his copper sword, making a fierce display!
A resounding clash, the staff flew away the copper sword, the old ghost saw that he was about to hit the twin monks.
The twin monk roared in anger, muttering an incantation that I could not understand, which seemed to be some kind of Buddhist verse.
The ghost shadow in the air shook violently, unable to move forward!
The roar of the staff struck towards the Heavenly Longevity Elder's head again!
The Heavenly Longevity Elder would never sit idly by and die, and both of them trembled.
The chanting sound in the forest disappeared, replaced by a sharp roar and the resounding clashes of weapons.
The Heavenly Longevity Taoists guarding me and my mother seemed to be doing much better.
At this crucial moment, both Old Chu and Yang Gui Jin were sprinting towards my father's direction!
My father was surrounded by more than a dozen people, and they immediately faced the two of them!
Both were startled, realizing they were not a match for them, and quickly retreated.
"Luo Muye, what are you up to?"
Yang Gui Jin screeched and shouted.
Clearly, because he had turned against me, at this moment, he had no thought for the relationship between him and my father.
In contrast, my father appeared to be possessed by the high Taoist Immortal in the eyes of others, but he still maintained a calm demeanor and even closed his eyes slightly.
The fighting did not last long.
The twin monk was no match for the Heavenly Longevity Elder and finally retreated, fleeing into the mountains and forest.
The other Heavenly Longevity Taoists quickly retreated, though some were slightly injured, they were not seriously harmed.
The Heavenly Longevity Elder approached my father and bowed, still looking quite nervous.
My father continued to close his eyes and said indifferently, "If you don't go up the mountain anymore, then I'll leave."
"Don't... Senior Gaotian, don't get angry. We'll continue to climb the mountain right away!" The Heavenly Longevity Elder was gasping for breath.
He immediately gestured with his hand, and the many Taoists started to climb the mountain again, enduring fatigue and injuries.
Of course, he came over and unblocked my acupoints, then gave me a threatening glance before continuing up the mountain.
I had a moment of contemplation, the twin monks were only one here to block the way, the other was at Tendai Temple, shouldn't we be facing Senior Heavenly Longevity Daoist directly?
They were indeed clever, they split into two paths, definitely trying to preserve the transmission of those books.
However, their cleverness backfired, and this group of people suffered at the halfway point of the mountain.
The twin monks of Tendai Temple would probably have to die.
The second half of the night flew by in a blink, and we arrived at the top of Gaotian Mountain, on the broad expanse of yellow soil.
The Heavenly Longevity Taoist was astonishingly fast; he had returned.
As the sun rose, Lao Gong was not on his shoulder, but he was holding several books in his hands, and he had a joyous expression on his face.
The Heavenly Longevity Taoist sensed something was amiss in the next moment, furrowed his brow and glanced at everyone.
"Second Elder, what has befallen you? Why are most of you so weary and injured?"
