Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Seventy-Eight Reunion

Xu Zhu lamented to himself for a while, and seeing that Bai Ke was quite shocked, he couldn't help but have some mischievous thoughts like a young man.

"What? Brother Bai, do you also wish to sincerely worship Buddha with Xu Zhu? That makes sense. I hear a lot of Zen wisdom in Brother Bai's words. He must have an affinity with Buddhism!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ke hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, refusing to agree to Xu Zhu's words. "To have an affinity with Buddhism?" He had absolutely no desire to have an affinity with Buddhism.

Besides, in his previous life, when he was reading books on various websites such as Qidian and Zongheng, he had seen plenty of such phrases as "having an affinity with Buddhism" and "having an affinity with Western religion".

This is one of the two great evil spells, alongside the Great Curse Spell. Bai Ke dared not touch it and hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.

Xu Zhu laughed heartily, but then a cheerful voice came from above everyone's heads, "Why is Third Brother laughing so happily?"

Everyone looked up and saw Qiao Feng lightly descending from the tree. Seeing that his clothes were intact, Xu Zhu assumed he was unharmed and excitedly shouted to Qiao Feng:

"Oh, it's Brother Qiao! How did you get here so quickly? How is Uncle Xiao now?"

Qiao Feng was deeply moved by Xu Zhu's words. He had been confused about who his third brother was, but he never expected him to be so loyal and devoted.

After the sweeping monk killed Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, Qiao Feng, filled with resentment, chased after the old monk, wanting to retrieve Xiao Yuanshan's body.

But when he and Murong Fu arrived, they saw the sweeping monk arranging Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo's corpses in a strange pose.

He placed his palms on the chests of the two men, seemingly guiding their internal energy. Qiao Feng, seeing the perilous situation, did not intervene but simply watched the Sweeper Monk perform his actions.

Unexpectedly, as the old monk continued to channel his inner energy, a flush of color gradually appeared on Xiao Yuanshan's face, turning a deep red that was even more rosy than the makeup applied by the women.

It looked as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his face. As for Murong Bo, unlike Xiao Yuanshan, he gradually turned from blue to green, his entire head turning a bright green...

The scene looked incredibly eerie. Qiao Feng wondered if the Sweeper Monk had practiced some evil technique and needed to use his father's corpse. Overwhelmed with shock and anger, he struck out at the Sweeper Monk with a palm.

Then the palm strike was blocked three zhang away from the Sweeper Monk, and Qiao Feng, unwilling to give up, continued to strike with palm strike after palm strike.

However, they were all stopped three zhang away from the Sweeper Monk. This short 10-meter distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm, preventing Qiao Feng from getting any closer.

The sweeping monk sighed softly, "Benefactor Qiao, please be patient. We are at a critical juncture. Please do not disturb me as I am treating the injuries of Benefactor Xiao and his companion."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng was overjoyed. "Master is healing my father? My father... he's not dead?" This news delighted Qiao Feng, and he immediately stood obediently to the side without saying a word.

The Sweeper Monk then continued to regulate the internal energy within Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo. Since the two men's internal energy attributes were too extreme, the Sweeper Monk said that if they wanted to save themselves, they would have to work together.

The monk switched the two to sit facing each other, and as they slowly awoke, he used the Buddhist Pure Sound Technique to awaken their minds, causing them to join their palms and merge their inner strength.

As their different types of true energy entered each other's bodies, their expressions were initially conflicted and impatient, but they gradually relaxed.

Qiao Feng didn't want to say much more after that, only vaguely stating that his father and Murong Bo had put aside their past grievances, shaved their heads and became monks under the tutelage of the sweeping monk, and went to study Buddhism.

Xu Zhu, who was devoted to Buddhism, was naturally happy for Xiao Yuanshan upon hearing this. He put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, since Benefactor Xiao has this opportunity, why does Brother Qiao look so worried?"

Bai Ke chuckled inwardly. This silly Xu Zhu really thought everyone admired Buddhism. Little did he know what Qiao Feng and the others were thinking.

Seeing that Qiao Feng remained silent, Bai Ke, fearing an awkward atmosphere, quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Now that Brother Qiao Feng has arrived, let's continue on our way."

I'm afraid Abbot Xuanci won't last that long. We need to wake him up as soon as possible and find some herbal medicine to help him recover.

Hearing Bai Ke say this, Xu Zhu lost interest in discussing Buddhism and quickly led everyone out of the forest towards Lingjiu Palace.

They were originally going to Jianhu Palace, but Wuliang Mountain is located in Dali, Yunnan, and Xuan Cifang's current physical condition cannot support him to travel that far, so they could only go to Lingjiu Palace.

Bai Ke didn't care at all. Whether he went to Lingjiu Palace or Jianhu Palace, as long as he could be with Xuzhu and Qiao Feng, he would have achieved his goal.

He would be willing to go to the Song Dynasty palace even if it meant obtaining the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. Besides, Bai Ke was indeed very curious about the beautiful women in Lingjiu Palace.

After leaving the dense forest, the group continued on their way. Qiao Feng led them directly to the wooden house where the Qiao couple had previously settled.

Just as they were about to go in, they heard shouts coming from inside, and a girl screamed, "Quickly gouge out her eyes!"

Xu Zhu, a monk, was compassionate. Naturally, he could not bear to see such a cruel thing happen before his eyes. He leaped up and arrived in front of the wooden house.

The others quickly followed, only to see two men and two women inside. One of the men was Duan Yu, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood.

The other one was You Tanzhi, whose legs were broken by Qiao Feng's kick. At this time, they only knew him as Zhuang Juxian, the new leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Regardless of his real name, he had clearly been granted permission by Qiao Feng and given to the Beggars' Sect members, so how come he's here now?

Qiao Feng looked ahead and saw that the one shouting to gouge out other people's eyes was actually his wife's younger sister, A Zi. He figured that A Zi must have taken advantage of the chaos to rescue Zhuang Juxian.

Bai Ke couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. Duan Yu was the first person he met after coming into this world, and also his sworn brother. How could he just stand by and watch him vomit blood?

In a flash, he stood in front of Duan Yu, and a bamboo branch suddenly appeared in his hand. He swung it backward and hit You Tanzhi in the face.

You Tan let out a mournful cry and his body suddenly flew backward. Hearing the sound, A Zi hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhuang? Brother Zhuang, what's wrong?"

Seeing Bai Ke send Zhuang Juxian flying, Qiao Feng remained silent, simply ordering the Khitan warriors behind him to tie him up. He then put his arm around A'Zi's shoulder and asked:

"Azi, what are you doing here? Didn't you leave with your father?" His barrage of questions left Azi speechless, unsure of what to say.

Bai Ke reached out and helped Duan Yu up from the ground. A continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed from his palm into Duan Yu's body. He asked, "Brother Duan, how did you get injured like this?"
