He has arrived.
Upon hearing Xing Tian's words, Cihang Saintess Miao Wuyu's expression changed drastically. She turned around abruptly and saw a man walking towards her on the embankment. Upon seeing him, Miao Wuyu was even more shocked and exclaimed, "It's you!"
This person was none other than Li Lan!
Isn't he an ancient divine body from the Dao Palace, with no cultivation whatsoever?
Shock and doubt flashed in her eyes, but they quickly turned into relief, and within that relief came a hint of self-reproach!
What shocked her was that when she met Li Lan before, she clearly saw that Li Lan was just a mortal, yet now he could actually come to the underworld?
To her relief, she immediately realized that Li Lan must have been hiding something from her.
A person who can remain completely hidden and unassuming in front of her must have extraordinary abilities, so it's no surprise that he was able to come to the underworld.
What she regretted was that she had misjudged him. Previously, Li Lan had shown no interest in joining the Cihang Holy Land, but she had been misled by those people from the Dao Palace, believing that Li Lan was truly interested in Ling Xuewei...
Now it seems that all those misunderstandings about love tribulations and romantic entanglements were just that—misunderstandings!
The true target of this "ancient divine body" hidden within the Taoist temple is the underworld!
"I had no idea you possessed such astonishing strength. I regret that I made a fool of myself earlier."
Miao Wuyu spoke, staring at Li Lan with a very serious expression.
In just a moment, she had already psychologically regarded Li Lan as a real rival.
"You're welcome, Saint."
Li Lan also spoke up, smiling and saying, "I will never forget the kindness of the Holy Maiden in guiding me and the virtue of awakening the Demon God."
What he said was true; we were able to get on the way so easily this time, thanks to Miao Wuyu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have entered the underworld so easily. It would have taken a lot of effort to wake up Xing Tian, the demon god.
"Don't you think it's too early for you to want to reap the rewards without sowing?"
Miao Wuyu spoke coldly.
Li Lan shook his head and said, "The Holy Maiden is wrong."
"You are the one who wants to reap without sowing, and you are the one who will reap the rewards."
"The blood of the Ancestral God stained the deep sky, the immortals perished in the starry sky, and the Demon God sacrificed himself... The things that were obtained through the sacrifice of so many people, the fruits that were nurtured with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, are now being taken away by the Cihang Holy Land. How can this be anything other than getting something for nothing?"
Miao Wuyu said solemnly, "The Cihang Holy Land's lineage originated from the Emperor Star, making it the true orthodox lineage. It is only right and proper for it to inherit everything."
Li Lan scoffed, "Orthodox? Do those who survived that great war deserve to call themselves orthodox?"
"If you are the true masters, how did you survive the great upheaval? If you are the true Buddhas, why are there so many evil gods in this world? If you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva, why do you only plunder incense offerings instead of saving the common people in the city?"
"They claim to be monks, yet their eyes are filled with desire. They think themselves extraordinary, so why bother with this path? In my opinion, the so-called emptiness of all things is nothing but arrogance towards others, and the so-called salvation of all living beings is nothing but using the living beings as a boat to cross themselves!"
"The saintess is noble, but she is all show and no substance; the holy land is magnificent, but it is nothing but a den of filth!"
"In the great war of yesteryear, you have become spineless dogs. Today, you show no mercy in the world, yet you dare to speak arrogantly of orthodoxy and claim to be righteous. Holy Maiden Cihang, is the technique you cultivate the art of shamelessness? With such thick skin, it seems you are invincible!"
Li Lan showed no mercy, her sarcasm was boundless.
He didn't actually harbor much malice towards Cihang Saintess, but he had always disliked the so-called Buddhist sects. Moreover, after his match with Chishongzi, Li Lan was even more certain of one thing:
The forces that still exist in the universe today have all sided with the ancient enemy!
Betrayal is the foundation of their survival.
The same applies to the Taoist temple, the Mingguang Sect, and even the Cihang Holy Land where the Ten Emperors descended to earth.
When betrayal becomes the basis of survival, and hypocrisy becomes the common virtue of the entire era, the higher the status of a person, the more corrupt they will be; the richer a person is, the more shameless they will be; power and morality will inevitably be inversely proportional; wealth and conscience will inevitably run counter to each other.
