The intense Buddha’s light gradually extinguished.
Ling Yishan stood still in place, not moving an inch.
Through the tattered coarse cloth garments, one could see his skin covered with intersecting cracks, like broken porcelain.
Hui Neng slightly furrowed his brows and murmured, "As expected of the Ultimate Venerable; although his strength has declined, his realm is still formidable, not so easily converted... Well, as long as he doesn’t hinder this humble monk, that’s enough."
He, along with the little monk, lifted his leg and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Following the corridor through the courtyard, they reached the depths of the Demon Suppression Department, where they saw dozens of tributers standing in solemn vigilance in front of the completely black building, arranged in a neat formation with the North Dipper Guardians’ formation stance.
"No wonder there’s not a shadow outside, they’ve all hidden in here?" Hui Neng said lightly.
Everyone stared at the burly figure with a heavy expression.
They were ordered by the Commander to guard the Formation Path Department and could not leave a step, no matter the turmoil outside.
Now this bald monk walked in unscathed, and the Commander was nowhere to be seen, the situation was self-evident!
"Did you kill him?!"
Sun Chongli clenched his hands under his robe, his voice squeezing through his teeth.
"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk only performs conversion, never takes life," Hui Neng clasped his hands with a shake of his head, saying, "Unfortunately, Master Ling has no affinity with my Buddha, no matter how much I advised, he ultimately refused to turn back."
Sun Chongli took a deep breath, struggling to calm himself. At this juncture, he must not let emotions take over.
Yuan Junfeng was still leading people to repair the array, to prevent demons from mixing in amidst the chaos. They must hold the gates of the Formation Path Department until reinforcements arrived!
"Array formation!"
"Prepare to engage!"
The tributers erupted in motion, stepping on the North Dipper Guardians’ positions, with boundless Primordial Qi quickly condensing.
Thunder Juice and flames surged up from the ground, filling every inch of the surrounding space, firmly locking those two figures of different heights.
The little monk was somewhat scared, shrinking and hiding behind Hui Neng.
Hui Neng remained calm, nodding, "Yin Yang Two Forms Array, paired with Circulation Sealing Demon Array and Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Array, both offensive and defensive, endless vitality, truly the work of an Array Master."
"However..."
"Have you forgotten my identity?"
"Playing with formations in front of Wuwan Temple is indeed not a wise move."
Bang—
Behind Hui Neng, a light wheel expanded fiercely, and the overwhelming Buddha’s light engulfed everyone like a tide.
The air echoed with Buddhist chants, and everyone’s expression became blank, looking around in bewilderment, as if they forgot why they were there.
The cultivation technique broke off, the array ceased along with it, and the sky full of thunder fire slowly dissipated.
"This is the weakness of formations built with people; though flexible, it’s hard to guard against mind-assaulting techniques. This humble monk doesn’t need to clash head-on, just letting you cease on your own is enough."
Hui Neng descended, passing through the crowd, heading towards the gates of the Formation Path Department.
No one stopped him along the way.
