Chapter 154 The Master Wants Me to Attack My Fellow Disciple
The strange purple tentacles on the body of Master Xiongshan were just suppressed by hundreds of magic golden elixir guardians, but unexpectedly, a golden light shield popped up again.

Not only was he able to scare away the Black Lotus Sect's leader, but he was also possessed by an old man!
"I don't know what I did wrong, why are you so angry?"

At the same time, the three Yuanying stage Dharma Kings sitting on the stage and Lin Shan in the audience all recognized the identity of this person.

Lay Buddhist Jinglian.

A powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage from the East China Sea.

Master Xiongshan actually became his disciple?

Lin Shan was extremely shocked. He really couldn't understand how such a person as Master Xiongshan, who had no qualifications, no foundation, and no character, could be accepted as a disciple by a great master in the Nascent Soul stage.

He is still in the foundation-building stage in his middle age. He is the leader of pirates in the East China Sea and has killed countless people. He has no talent and a long history of bad deeds. No one would consider taking him as a disciple. Why did Master Jinglian take a fancy to him?

At this time, among the three Nascent Soul Stage Dharma Kings on the stage, the Dharma King who was sitting in the middle spoke in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Jinglian, this boy is a registered disciple of the Black Lotus Sect. Please do not interfere in the internal affairs of our sect!"

The old man on Xiongshan Mountain had no idea where he was hiding, and Xiongshan Mountain himself was also confused and looked around for the source of the sound.

"Haha, this boy has already accepted me as his master a year ago. As a master, how can I just ignore him?"

The Dharma King who protects the religion stood up suddenly, and the whites of his eyes were instantly filled with pupils, as if he used some kind of pupil magic to directly lock onto the source of the voice.

"I don't care what your relationship with this guy is. He is suspected of the theft of my religion's faith. We must search his soul and get to the bottom of it!"

"My disciple just left Kuxu Island three months ago. I think you are wrongly accusing him."

"Whether it's unjust or not, it's not up to you to decide, and it's not up to me to decide! Just search my soul and we'll know!"

"What if it turns out he didn't do it?"

"If it wasn't him, I would like to invite you to come and have a talk, apologize in public, and make peace!"

"Hahahaha~"

When Master Jinglian heard these words, he could not help but burst into laughter. Anyone could hear the irony in his laughter. It was as if he was lamenting the cruelty of the Dharma King who protected the religion, or perhaps mocking the tyranny of the Black Lotus Sect.

"Apologize in public? There are hundreds of thousands of Black Lotus Sect monks in the Bianliang camp, hundreds of them in the Golden Core stage, and three Yuanying stage monks. If I come alone, wouldn't it be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth with no way out?"

"I will never do such an insane act."

When the Dharma King who protects the religion heard that the other party was not buying his tricks, he and the other two Dharma Kings in the Nascent Soul stage beside him used their spiritual senses to frantically investigate any movement within a radius of dozens of miles to see if Master Jinglian was hiding nearby.

All of His Highness's cultivators also sat upright, feeling the terrifying divine sense as deep as an abyss and as deep as a prison passing through them, and were deeply aware of the huge gap between the Jindan stage and the Yuanying stage.

"Fellow Daoist Jinglian is indeed cautious. Only a fragment of his soul has come, but his real body is hidden thousands of miles away."

"If I'm not mistaken, the incense marks on your disciple's body were left by you. It seems that you are also practicing the power of will technique!"

"I'm afraid you are responsible for the theft of the Buddha statue and incense this time."

……

It seemed that the great Yuanying stage master could deduce a lot of unknown things with just a few words. For some reason, the Dharma King who protects the religion was convinced that the theft of the giant black lotus Buddha statue three days ago was done by Mr. Jinglian, and he believed it without a doubt no matter how much the Dharma King explained.

"Okay, okay, that's all! It seems that no matter what I say, the King of France won't believe it. So it's up to you."

"Fellow Daoist Jinglian, the power of vows and incense is the foundation of our resources, and we cannot afford to be careless."

"I know that, but I have only cultivated a magical power of willpower. I don't particularly need this kind of thing, so there is no need to compete with you for food." "If this is really done by fellow Taoist, then please return it."

"That's not true! If the Dharma King wants to search my disciple's soul, then you can do it. But now you and the righteous are at odds with each other, so don't say I didn't warn you!"

Once these words were spoken, it was a naked threat.

Obviously, as a Yuanying stage cultivator, Mr. Jinglian is powerful and naturally confident. Although I dare not enter your camp to cause trouble for you, do you still want to give up your foundation in the East China Sea?
Or if he joins the righteous side, having one more enemy with the combat power of the Nascent Soul Stage will be a huge weight on the balance of the war, and the consequences are self-evident.

……

After a moment of silence, the hall seemed like a volcano about to erupt. The energy had accumulated to the point where it had nowhere to vent and was about to erupt.

All the Jindan and Foundation Establishment cultivators had solemn expressions on their faces. They could sense the raging rage in the Yuanying Dharma Kings' hearts. Their Black Lotus Sect was a top-level sect, but this side only had half the strength of the sect, and they had already defeated the Righteous Alliance.

A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dared to threaten a top sect. If there were no war and no opponent to hold him back, all the Nascent Souls in the sect would go out together and chase him to the ends of the earth.

But the next moment, the Dharma King suddenly relaxed his aura and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Very good, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Daoist Fellow Jinglian. I guess I have wronged Daoist Fellow."

Everyone in the hall lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

All the power and decision-making within the sect seem to be in the hands of the master, but the King of Dharma, as the true top-level combat power, usually delegates power and does not intervene in matters, but when he really needs to take charge, he will absolutely have the final say.

The soul of Master Jinglian also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if they could avoid making enemies. "Thank you for your understanding, my little disciple."

"It's up to you whether you want to go or stay."

After the Dharma King of the Protector of the Religion said this, he turned around and left the hall through the back door. The other two Dharma Kings of the Nascent Soul Stage were obviously of the same mind, and they didn't say much, and left without looking back.

The farce ended just like that, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if it could be resolved peacefully, and they didn't want to be an enemy of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The head master then announced the adjournment of the meeting, and everyone left the central military meeting hall in an orderly manner.

As for the theft of the Buddha statue, it was naturally left unresolved thanks to the intervention of Mr. Jinglian.

……

The next day, Lin Shan immediately submitted an application to the higher-ups, intending to return to the temporary headquarters in the East China Sea for recuperation. As expected, it was approved very quickly, with the approval personally written by the headmaster:
quasi!
At the same time, a sound transmission note also fell into his hands.

Among them was a message from the headmaster to him, which first praised him for his good cultivation at a young age and said that he would have the hope of achieving the golden elixir in the future and becoming a pillar of the sect.

Then he praised him for his superb skills, which enabled him to kill a true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion. He decided to increase the amount of training resources allocated to him in the sect after returning and focus on his training.

Finally, he was given a confidential mission, because not only he but also another middle-aged man with a dull appearance, who was also a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, returned to the East China Sea this time.

Lin Shan’s mission was to kill him halfway before returning to the temporary headquarters in the East China Sea.

Of course, this dull middle-aged man would never tell Lin Shan about the assassination of the master's illegitimate son. He only needed to follow orders.

The devil acts freely according to his heart, even if he is the head of the sect, he has to consider the overall situation first, but killing someone means paying with one's life, which is natural. If it is a Jindan stage guardian, he may hesitate whether it will damage the sect's combat effectiveness, but a mere foundation-building stage cultivator naturally has no scruples.

After Lin Shan finished listening to the contents of the sound transmission talisman, the talisman turned into flames and ignited spontaneously. It was obvious that the headmaster did not want to leave any evidence. He did not need to do this kind of dirty work himself. As long as he used a little power and bribed people with a lot of money, there would naturally be plenty of people to help him do the work.

You don't want to do it? There are many people who are trying their best to do it. I'm giving it to you to do it because I'm giving you a chance and showing my appreciation for you. I'm looking at your ability and efficiency and whether you can handle the mess cleanly.
As the headmaster of a top sect, many things are simplified. By avenging his illegitimate son, he can also see if Lin Shan is worthy of his training. This kills two birds with one stone.

After Lin Shan received the secret order, he was excited. I was appreciated by the head of the Black Lotus Sect? Then, wouldn't it be a great hope to sneak into the power center and steal Gu Yun? But the next test made him a little confused.

The headmaster secretly ordered me to launch a surprise attack on my fellow disciples?
