This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 144: Continue to Shine
Zhuang Lin returned the greeting before continuing.

"My name is Zhuang Lin. May I know the name of this fellow Taoist?"

As Zhuang Lin spoke, his thoughts also moved, and the white light on the umbrella man suddenly dissipated. His pressure also dropped sharply, so that he no longer had to struggle to stand up straight.

"My name? I've forgotten it. Since you're lucky enough to meet me, please call me Umbrella Bearer!"

Without the suppression of the exquisite pagoda, the spiritual light on the umbrella man's body tended to dissipate again. However, Zhuang Lin was here at the moment, so he would naturally not watch him dissipate. It was not difficult for Zhuang Lin to stabilize the former's form.

After the white light dissipated, Zhuang Lin pointed his sword finger at the arm of the man holding the umbrella, and a flash of white light appeared.

Suddenly, the almost half-real and half-virtual body of the umbrella man seemed to ripple from the place where Zhuang Lin's fingertips landed, and quickly spread throughout the body. Wherever the ripples passed, his body quickly turned from virtual to real.

The man holding the umbrella was surprised for a moment, realizing that all his energy was blocked, but he did not feel offended, and he knew that this was a way to help him.

Moreover, while the Qi was being blocked, a faint vitality force was also integrated into the body, which gave the umbrella holder's body, which was in a state of collapse, a starting point for reversal of state, and truly stabilized his condition.

"Wait a moment, my friend. I'll check the situation inside the tower and then explain it to you!"

Zhuang Lin knew that the umbrella-holder must have many doubts, but he was also more concerned about the situation of the evil Buddha. As he spoke, he passed the umbrella-holder and walked towards the weathered Buddha statue on the inside that was more than one meter tall.

The man holding the umbrella glanced sideways at the passing Confucian immortal, then looked at Liu Hongyu who was walking with the Confucian immortal in front of him. The latter also bowed, but without waiting for the former to return the greeting, he quickly caught up with the Confucian immortal.

"Master, we didn't mean it."

"Master."

Gao Ran and Sun Yao were obviously in low spirits. They had not completed the mission successfully on the first try. This feeling of failure was even greater than their worry about being punished. This was because they were not aware of the influence of the evil Buddha on the overall situation, otherwise they would have been even more uneasy.

However, compared to the seriousness he showed when he was caught doing something wrong in school, Zhuang Lin did not show any blame at this moment. Instead, he shook his head and said something comforting.

"Don't worry, if this fellow Taoist wants to take action, you can't stop him, unless the Linglong Pagoda itself is closed. But I am the one who made this plan, so I am the one to blame."

After saying this, Zhuang Lin reached out and touched the weathered Buddha statue's brow, blocking the sword mark that even Gao Ran and Sun Yao couldn't see.

As long as there was this sword mark, the vitality of the three evil Buddhas continued to leak out. Because of their own characteristics, it was not so easy for them to die, so it was like they were bleeding endlessly, but were very close to being drained of blood.

Although still alive, all three of their lives were ninety-nine percent dead.

This was a path that neither Zhuang Lin nor Xi Miao had ever imagined. They were truly capable of being so arrogant. They wouldn't die, but the pain they endured would surely be extremely exaggerated.

Or perhaps this situation was caused by chance. If there were more people holding umbrellas and even a little extra strength, the three evil Buddhas would have perished. Instead, it is the current situation, and they may suffer for more than ten years.

As Zhuang Lin sealed the sword mark, a faint spiritual response gradually emerged from the Buddha statue. It was very weak, but filled with an unusual sense of urgency.

"Ruxian, I agree to your request!"

"Me too, I agree!" "And I, let us go back, no, you can suppress us in another place!"

"I don't want to be in this place!"

"We believe you, we believe you"

"Give me a quick death. Let me enjoy myself before I end it all."

The thoughts of the three evil Buddhas were still confused, but clearer than before, and contained an obvious sense of fear, which was due to both the cruel reality that they had gradually understood in the past few months and the terrifying moment today.

The spiritual thoughts brought about by this chaotic fluctuation filled the entire exquisite pagoda, but only two and a half people could hear it clearly.

One was naturally Zhuang Lin, and the other was the man in green holding an umbrella who turned around but still stood in the same place. Liu Hongyu could only be considered half a person. He could hear some of the words clearly, but he felt that the mixed thoughts were very confusing.

As for Gao Ran and Sun Yao, they couldn't help but cover their ears. They felt that the surroundings became noisy and they had tinnitus from time to time.

Zhuang Lin did not speak immediately, but stood quietly there, looking at the weathered Buddha statue and listening to the roars and demands of the three evil Buddhas.

It was not until a few minutes had passed and the Evil Buddha's confused thoughts began to weaken a little that Zhuang Lin spoke lightly, directly ignoring the various conditions previously put forward by the three Evil Buddhas.

"Tell me the news about the Five-Colored Divine Mountain!" Zhuang Lin only said this short sentence without any other response.

Although the words were calm, they seemed to have a sense of unquestionableness. Although there was no threat, they gave the three evil Buddhas a strong sense of oppression.

Five-color sacred mountain?

The man holding the umbrella looked puzzled, while Liu Hongyu and the other two seemed to be thinking about something. They had heard of the Five-Colored Divine Mountain, but now it seemed to be a very important place.

"I'll tell you, they don't know anything about the Five-Colored Divine Mountain. Let them stay and learn their lesson. I'll tell you, can you please let me go? I'm willing to turn over a new leaf and return to the path of compassion."

"Say!"

Zhuang Lin uttered only one word and then stopped talking.

Compared to the previous time when Zhuang Lin and Xi Miao interrogated the three evil Buddhas together, the situation now is very different. During the quarrel between the three evil Buddhas, information about the Five-Colored Divine Mountain was finally revealed.

However, only Zhuang Lin himself can verify how much of this is true and how much is false.

Or even if it is fake, the evil Buddha himself cannot tell the difference and firmly believes that it is the real thing. The main reason is that the third evil Buddha outside the two aspects always insists that it is the real Mahagata.

Zhuang Lin sealed the Buddha statue again. Except that the three evil Buddhas inside were much weaker than before, everything seemed to have returned to its previous state.

Gao Ran and Sun Yao looked at each other and then at their senior brother, while Liu Hongyu just shook his head slightly, signaling them to be quiet.

Zhuang Lin stood in front of the Buddha statue for a long time before turning around and looking at the umbrella-holder who had been standing quietly there. The latter's mood was obviously not calm at the moment.

Zhuang Lin knew that the umbrella-bearing man could hear the evil Buddha's complete statement clearly, and he could even deduce from the conversation between him and the evil Buddha that he was going to find the Five-Colored Divine Mountain.

But Zhuang Lin had no intention of avoiding the umbrella holder. He had already decided to win the latter over to his side, and he had enough confidence to do so.

"In here, there is actually Mahakadhi, one of the Five Directions Jieti? Is the Five-Colored Divine Mountain very important?"

The man holding the umbrella finally couldn't help but speak first. Zhuang Lin glanced sideways at the weathered Buddha statue.

"Whether it's true or not remains to be seen, but the Five-Colored Divine Mountain is extremely important. Zhuang is determined to find it, even if there may be many difficulties and obstacles along the way."

The man holding the umbrella was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on his face. His face became clearer in Zhuang Lin's eyes, but it still looked a little blurry to Liu Hongyu and others.

"What are the difficulties and obstacles in your eyes, sir?"

In today's era, there are still Confucian immortals in the world, and they have even reached this level of cultivation. Perhaps this also means that the destiny of heaven and earth should not end.

What could the Confucianists consider difficult and dangerous in this era? Perhaps it is only the fate of heaven and earth!
The man holding the umbrella looked at the Confucian immortal in front of him, and knew that the other party saved him not only because the Confucian immortal himself could feel his brightness and magnanimity, but also because he wanted more power. And wouldn't the man holding the umbrella want that too?

Zhuang Lin paused slightly, and just by looking at the man holding the umbrella, he seemed to understand that the other party would definitely help him. It was a very wonderful feeling.

"As the saying goes, difficulties and obstacles can only be known after they have been overcome. We are currently weak and alone. I wonder if you would be willing to lend me a helping hand?"

The man holding the umbrella looked a little more serious.

"If you ask why the heavens have allowed me to survive until now, it must be for this moment. As a guardian of the Dao sect, I will do my utmost to help you as long as I have breath left!"

These words seemed to be more than just a simple response, but also a very solemn promise, which made Zhuang Lin feel an inexplicable sense of connection between heaven and earth, and even Liu Hongyu and others could feel this connection slightly.

Zhuang Lin showed a hint of a smile on his face, but it was obvious that the man holding the umbrella thought the situation was very bad. After all, it was the Dharma Ending Age, and it was unrealistic to say that it was not bad.

I just don’t know how this fellow Taoist will react after going to the Hidden Immortal Valley!
Overall, this time it was a blessing in disguise!
Seeing this, Gao Ran and Sun Yao, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the result was good, so smiles appeared on their faces.

However, the smile did not last for a few seconds before Liu Hongyu slammed a chestnut on each of their heads, making them both hold their foreheads and grimace in pain.

"What are you laughing at? Your business is not over yet. The severe punishment may be waived, but the minor punishment will still be imposed!"

Liu Hongyu pretended to be serious, but to Zhuang Lin, he was actually trying to excuse Gao Ran and Sun Yao.

After this incident, the atmosphere in the Linglong Pagoda became relaxed.
