Chapter 810: How Is This Still a Buddhist Holy Land?

Upon hearing the words ‘evil spirit.’

Tang Language instinctively shrank back and leaned closer to Chen Lusi.

Despite what was said just now sounding nice.

In the end, she was still a bit scared.

Mainly because there were indeed quite a few Enlightened Monks over there.

They are also somewhat considered as ‘reserve forces’ within the country, which is why the Celestial Strategy Mansion is regarded as a super-large Empowerer organization worldwide.

It’s mostly because there are too many Advanced Empowerers wandering outside the Celestial Strategy Mansion but still residing domestically.

Not to mention the group of immortals Xia Yue mentioned, the Buddhist and Daoist sects alone can gather half a battalion of Advanced Empowerers.

Not to mention, they also have many who belong to both the Buddhist and Daoist sects as well as being ‘old creatures.’

For example, the shabby Daoist who once appeared at Celestial Strategy Trading.

Even from Chen Lusi’s current perspective, he was no small character, entirely not weaker than any of the current Celestial Strategy of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

But he only showed up once, and it was all due to the Daoists of the Four Major Daoist Mountains collectively inviting him that he came out.

Records of him in the Celestial Strategy Mansion are very scarce, only mentioning that he was a Sword Attendant to a former Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

And where he is now.

Even the Daoists of those four Mountains don’t know, only saying… he thinks the younger generation is too terrifying and has hidden away again.

And such beings.

There are quite a few more domestically.

All of them combined form the entire domestic Empowerer circle.

In a sense, they are unified, but also dispersed.

The situation is very complex.

Ji Xin once privately told him a heart-stabbing phrase, saying… this might be what many people want to see.

The purpose is to prevent the emergence of a truly dominant Extraordinary Domain force domestically.

Further speculation.

Why the higher-ups informed the Celestial Strategy Mansion about Buddhism’s intention to leave, asking them to intervene?

Perhaps it’s because… having Daoism allied to the Celestial Strategy Mansion is enough.

The other Buddhism.

Can’t let them disengage, nor let them get too close to the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

At least not as close as Daoism.

And how to ensure the Celestial Strategy Mansion and Buddhism don’t grow too close?

It’s simple.

Just let the Celestial Strategy Mansion step up to stop them.

While Chen Lusi pondered over what Si Yujie and Ji Xin had said to him, he directly bypassed Huai Yuan’s Vajra’s Fury and looked towards the Celestial King Hall behind him…

Truth be told.

He didn’t understand nor care much about those complicated balancing acts.

Because in his view, the matter was simple.

Like at this moment, from his straightforward value system.

A guest visiting should indeed receive basic respect, correspondingly, so should the host.

“Chen Tiance.”

On the other side.

Seeing that Chen Lusi didn’t speak, the monk named Huai Yuan, who posed with Vajra’s Fury, glared at him once more: “We invited you as a guest, why bring a demon to humiliate us!?”

“Tang Language, Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy.”

Chen Lusi finally retracted his gaze from the Celestial King Hall, looking at Huai Yuan, said calmly: “You should recognize her, she is accompanying personnel.”

“I do recognize.”

Unable to control himself, Huai Yuan stepped forward as if closing in on Chen Lusi: “Precisely because I recognize, I don’t understand; you know you’re heading to a Buddhist Holy Land, you know a place for spiritual purification shouldn’t contain such evil spirit, yet you brought her, what do you take our Buddhism for!?”

“…”

Upon hearing this.

Tang Language leaned towards Chen Lusi once more.

On the other side.

Si Yujie and Xia Panqiu frowned slightly, starting to get displeased.

Because the opponent was too aggressive.

Close to the level of giving disillusionment.

Both instinctively looked towards Chen Lusi.

Hearing this, Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then continued to ask: “Even if Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy, isn’t qualified to appear in the Buddhist Holy Land mentioned in your words?”

“No.”

Huai Yuan shook his head, then stepped forward once more: “The sky may be wide, but it doesn’t nourish a grass without roots, the Dharma may be boundless, but it doesn’t save those who aren’t good, especially demons.”

Other Zen Masters silently observed Chen Lusi, none speaking at this moment.

All awaited the development.

“Not good?”

Chen Lusi still didn’t rush, but calmly asked: “A Celestial Strategy from the Celestial Strategy Mansion, you consider not good?”

“Smiling when ought not, happy when ought not, kind when ought not, unmoved by evil, unjoyous by good.”

Huai Yuan glared furiously at Chen Lusi, indistinct whether glaring at Chen Lusi or Tang Language: “Considered non-human, creature of Six Paths, how can you speak of good.”

“…”

Upon hearing these words.

Tang Language widened her beautiful eyes slightly, feeling some anger, no longer concerning herself with fear, instinctively prepared to step from behind Chen Lusi.

But just as she moved, sensed Chen Lusi’s calm demeanor, and forcibly restrained herself.

… forget it.

Don’t cause him trouble.

“… non-human, the eight kinds of divine-path monsters mentioned in Heavenly Dragon Eight Groups?”

Chen Lusi seemingly unnoticed Tang Language’s state, gazed at the approaching Huai Yuan: “But I recall in your texts, when Buddha explained to Bodhisattvas and Bhikkhus, the Heavenly Dragon Eight Types often joined to listen and subsequently achieved Buddhahood records, how come from your mouth it’s how can you speak of good, and isn’t it often said that laying down the butcher knife, instantly achieves Buddhahood, in just a thought?”

“She doesn’t qualify, nor deserve.”

With Huai Yuan gradually closing on Chen Lusi, seemingly verifying something, his tone grew more aggressive: “Just a stupid demon! Chen Tiance, we invited you, others please leave, including the ladies.”

“… forget it, Chen Lusi.”

Tang Language thought for a moment, suddenly gently tugging Chen Lusi’s clothes: “Why don’t I wait downstairs.”
