The Villain's Counterattack

"Senior, your voice sounds familiar. May I ask if you are the master who once gave me guidance in the ancient temple in Leshan?" Nie Feng was rescued and had great respect for the person who saved him.

"Nie Feng, we only met once by chance many years ago, and yet you've already memorized my voice. Your memory is truly admirable!" The clay Buddha gave him an accurate answer: "Indeed! I am the same temple priest who guided you through the mysteries of the law back then! I am saving you today to help you find your way out of this maze!"

"Maze?" Nie Feng was a little confused.

"Well, Nie Feng, Nie Feng, there's no time to lose. I don't want to beat around the bush any more, so I'll tell you straight out! You're trapped here now because that Wudao Kuangtian, who captured you, wants to use you and Kong Ci, who's been infected by the Concentric Silkworm, to lure Bu Jingyun to the Pori Peak for a decisive battle!"

"However, this decisive battle is just a pretext for Wudao Kuangtian. His real goal is to get Bu Jingyun and the others to reach Pori Peak so that he can successfully obtain Tianku! Therefore, you must quickly catch up with Bu Jingyun and let him know that you are safe. Also, give this bottle of medicine I am giving you to Kong Ci to feed it!"

The clay Buddha took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to Nie Feng. Nie Feng still didn't turn his head and took the medicine in his hand. He saw a red strip on the surface of the medicine bottle with these three words written on it: Fire Monkey Blood.

"Fire Monkey Blood?" Nie Feng frowned, suddenly remembering what Duan Lang had mentioned to him a few months ago. "Excuse me, Senior, is this the Clay Buddha?"

The Clay Buddha was shocked when he heard this, but he did not deny it. "How do you know my true identity?"

Nie Feng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not me who knows your identity, but my good friend Duan Lang. He asked me to express his gratitude to you, Senior. He has broken free from the shackles of fate and achieved great freedom. He also gave me a magic pill to relieve your pain. The magic pill is now in the Feng Pavilion of the Tianxia Association. If you..."

The Clay Bodhisattva calculated it carefully and said in amazement, "How strange! Originally, Fengyun was the one most likely to break free from the shackles of fate, but I never thought that the first one to jump out of fate would be that kid. His kindness was not swallowed by the evil thoughts of the Yaksha. Good! Good! Good!"

"As expected, fate can be changed. That's good, that's good!" The Clay Buddha's face lit up with joy. Just as Nie Feng was about to reveal the location of the elixir, the Clay Buddha interrupted him, saying, "Now is not the time to discuss this. There's no time to lose. You must rush over and rescue Kong Ci. As long as you and Kong Ci are safe, Bu Jingyun won't have to go to Po Ri Peak again, and that Wu Dao Kuang Tian's plan to capture Wu Ku will come to nothing."

"That bottle of Fire Monkey Blood is all you have, Senior. I'm sure you need it desperately. If you give it to Kong Ci, what will become of you?" Nie Feng was kindhearted by nature. He smiled wryly and said, "Nie Feng, you're really too concerned about others. You know, while it's good to be considerate of everyone, even the most cautious person can make mistakes!"

The Clay Bodhisattva urged Nie Feng to leave as soon as possible, and mentioned the word "Heaven's Cry" again, which aroused Nie Feng's curiosity. The Clay Bodhisattva then briefly explained the origin of "Heaven's Cry". It turned out that it was the first word created by Cangjie when he comprehended the heaven and the earth, and it contained the last secret of this world.

The cry of heaven is the scripture of heaven and the meaning of earth. If you get this secret, you will know everything.

"Nie Feng! Don't hesitate any longer! Let's get going! Otherwise, it will be too late! Hurry!" Under the repeated urging of the Clay Buddha, Nie Feng left in a hurry, and the Clay Buddha also welcomed the person he feared the most: Wudao Kuangtian!

"Hey! I can't believe that with your worthless Life Sutra in my hand, you still dare to go against me and let Nie Feng go! Are you trying to save your life?" Wudao Kuangtian looked at the clay Buddha. The latter looked back at Wudao Kuangtian, who was "red as the blood of thousands of people" in the darkness. A trace of fearlessness appeared in his eyes, and he smiled sadly and said, "Yes."

"I don't want to live any longer! I've been tortured to death by the punishment of heaven, and I don't want to live anymore! If you hate me for letting Nie Feng go, why don't you just kill me with one move?"

The more the Clay Buddha feared no death, the more Wudao Kuangtian didn't want him to die. He saw the red energy surrounding his body suddenly rise up, and "puff puff" had sealed all the major acupoints in his body, making the Clay Buddha unable to move anymore. At the same time, he laughed incomparably cruelly: "Since old fellow is no longer afraid of death, then I will not let you die so easily! On the contrary, I will do everything I can to save your worthless life! Because, I know you have suffered so much torture from heaven that you slowly rotted to death!"

"I also want you to know that no matter whether you release Nie Feng or not, no matter whether you have a way to detoxify Kong Ci or not, no matter how hard you try to sabotage my plan, it will all be in vain! Because, in this whole world, no one can defeat me, Wudao Kuangtian!"

"Even the sky can't do it! Hahaha~" With wild laughter, Wudao Kuangtian jumped up, with a red air on his body. At the same time, he picked up Hongmei who had fainted on the ground and flew away like a red cloud!

On the other side, Bu Jingyun, Qin Shuang and Kong Ci boarded the fast horses heading to Po Ri Peak. Miss You Xin said goodbye to them reluctantly. Although they met again by chance, she knew that her brother would never see her easily in the future. As he said, for his sister's sake, he could not see her.

Youxin's eyes were filled with tears as she watched them leave. She finally saw her brother, but couldn't recognize him. The time they spent together was very short. She was reluctant to let her brother leave her sight, even if it was just a few more glances in secret.

"Alas, the world is difficult and all love is suffering." Suddenly, a slightly old voice sounded in his ears. Youxin turned around abruptly and found that an old man with tattered but unusually neat clothes was standing behind him.

The old man looked up at the sky, his face full of compassion. Youxin suddenly remembered where he had heard this voice before, in that dilapidated temple.

"The senior is the one who detoxified and healed Youxi..." Youxin hurriedly covered his mouth. The old man opposite saw this and his eyes became even more kind. He shook his head gently and said, "You don't have to be like this. I have no ill will towards Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Kong Ci. Otherwise, I would not have detoxified and healed Qin Shuang and Kong Ci."

"Are you planning to follow them secretly?" The old man's sudden words shocked Youxin's heart. "How did you know?"

The old man shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "Their enemy is extremely powerful. Even Qin Shuang's master, Xiong Ba, seems like a child in front of this powerful enemy. If you go there, have you ever thought about the consequences if you are discovered?"

Upon hearing this, You Xin said with a sad face, "This is my only chance to see You Xi a few more times. Once he returns to the Tian Xia Association, I'm afraid that in the future..."

Seeing this, the old man stopped talking, turned around and walked away slowly, shaking his head as he walked, "I want to cross the Yellow River, but it's blocked by ice. I want to climb the Taihang Mountains, which are covered with snow. In my spare time, I fish in the clear stream, and suddenly I dream of sailing on the sun. It's hard to travel! It's hard to travel! There are so many different roads, where are you now?"

"Life is a difficult journey, and where is there any reason to speak of? Alas, the world is truly difficult, and all love is suffering. It's so painful~"
