Chapter 2396 - 2396: Blood-Robed Monk Finally Appears

Seeing Helian Tiehua leading the group, the Purple Robe Lama couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He was worried that the Bloody Monk had arrived, but unexpectedly, he first encountered Helian Tiehua, which gave him a sense of relief.

Accompanying Helian Tiehua were two elder-level figures from the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance. During the last grand battle in Shenchuan City, Helian Tiehua was seriously injured and was taken away during the chaos by these two elders. Over this period, he finally recovered from his injuries and received news that Bai Li Xi was trapped in Panlong Valley, so he rushed to help immediately.

Helian Tiehua's group consisted of only three people, a stark contrast to the number of people from the Wanyan Family, who immediately surrounded them. Moreover, among those besieging them were members of the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, which enraged Helian Tiehua and his companions to the extreme.

"Zhou Kaiyu, you're considered an elder of the Seven Rudders, yet you've defected to the Wanyan Family and become their lackey. Truly shameless!" yelled one elder angrily, facing off against the elder from the Seven Rudders.

Zhou Kaiyu gritted his teeth, saying nothing, but unleashed his full strength against this elder. His ability was about equal to this elder's, so they were evenly matched. However, given that the Wanyan Family had more people, and with someone assisting Zhou Kaiyu, naturally, the elder from the Seven Rudders was forced to retreat repeatedly and could hardly defend.

The other elder was also surrounded by two peak masters, while Helian Tiehua was encircled by four peak masters. Although Helian Tiehua was extremely powerful, facing four opponents, he was on the losing side. If not for the slight improvement in his abilities following his injuries, he might have already been defeated.

Such chaotic fighting was naturally very unfavorable for the three of Helian Tiehua. From the looks of it, the Wanyan Family wouldn't even need to deploy the mystical corpses of the Divine Clan to deal with them.

Witnessing the situation, the Purple Robe Lama frowned slightly. Great General Helian Tiehua wasn't a reckless person, so why did he bring these two people directly into such a situation, ending up surrounded?

However, at this moment, the Purple Robe Lama couldn't think of too much. Having seen Helian Tiehua, he needed to quickly reveal Wanyan Hongsheng's plan and let Helian Tiehua and others spread the word. As for himself, he had to leave here promptly, avoiding any encounter with the Bloody Monk.

Taking a deep breath, the Purple Robe Lama rushed out from behind the tree. However, instead of heading towards the entrance of Panlong Valley, he stood on the mountainside, shouting loudly, "Great General, I am the Purple Robe Lama!"

The three down the mountain, engaged in battle, were pleasantly surprised upon hearing the Purple Robe Lama's voice, and they all looked up. While fending off the attacks from the four, Helian Tiehua loudly responded, "Purple-robed Elder, you've come too, excellent!"

Wanyan Hongsheng, sitting nearby, glanced at the Purple Robe Lama and coldly sneered. To him, the more people came, the better, because he had no fear. On the contrary, he could seize this opportunity to eliminate them all.

"Purple-robed Elder, your Qinggong is supreme, quickly enter the valley to assist Mr. Bai Li and the others in their escape!" shouted another elder engaged in the chaos.

The Purple Robe Lama knew that Helian Tiehua and the others hoped for his immediate aid. But the key issue was that he couldn't possibly go down to help. The Bloody Monk was about to arrive, and every minute he lingered here could increase the danger, making it a matter of life and death with no other option!

"Great General, I cannot go down to help you. However, I must remind you of something!" shouted the Purple Robe Lama loudly, "This Panlong Valley is a trap set by Wanyan Hongsheng, deliberately luring you here to eliminate you all."

"What!?" Helian Tiehua's brows furrowed, and the two elders beside him showed full surprise, with one of them asking, "What kind of trap?"

Wanyan Hongsheng's face changed drastically, instantly turning to face the Purple Robe Lama. It wasn't until now that he realized the person who eavesdropped on their conversation that night was the Purple Robe Lama!

The Purple Robe Lama shouted, "They carry three coffins, inside are mystical corpses of the Divine Clan. Once released, these corpses will unleash extremely powerful forces, more than capable of killing you all; you must be careful!"

"What!?" Helian Tiehua exclaimed again, his eyes widening along with the two elders beside him, all turning their gaze toward the three coffins next to Wanyan Hongsheng. They noticed these coffins when they arrived, but didn't know what was inside. Hearing the Purple Robe Lama's words, they looked at the coffins with eyes showing signs of panic.

Could it really be, as the Purple Robe Lama said, that the coffins contained mystical corpses of the Divine Clan? But what is the Divine Clan? What kind of immense power would the mystical corpses release?

While everyone was in shock, a sound of rocks falling from the mountain suddenly echoed. Everyone turned simultaneously, only to see a person standing beside the cliff, wearing a blood-red kasaya—it was indeed the Bloody Monk!

Seeing the Bloody Monk, the Purple Robe Lama's expression suddenly changed. Despite careful planning, he still couldn't avoid it, unexpectedly encountering the Bloody Monk here. Could it be that he was truly destined to perish here?

Others didn't know what the Purple Robe Lama was thinking. Seeing the Bloody Monk appear, Helian Tiehua and his companions' expressions suddenly changed. It wasn't joy, but a face full of worry, not knowing what the situation really was.

Looking at the Bloody Monk again, he stood at the cliff edge, grabbing a rope, his hands crossed, pulling the rope up. The rope was taut, as if something heavy below was weighing it down.

Seeing this situation, Wanyan Hongsheng's expression suddenly changed, exclaiming: "Not good, they're trying to lift the people in the valley up. Hurry, stop them!"

"Stop them!" Helian Tiehua also shouted loudly: "Purple Robe Venerable, the Blood Robe Sect Leader is trying to lift the people in the valley up, don't be distracted, please lend us a hand!"

Hearing Helian Tiehua's words, the Purple Robe Lama finally understood what was happening. No wonder Helian Tiehua brought three people to attack Wanyan Hongsheng and the others; it turns out he had already planned it with the Bloody Monk and others. The Bloody Monk and the Sha Men were using ropes from the cliff to lift people from Panlong Valley, avoiding Wanyan Hongsheng's group and preventing a major battle. After all, relying solely on Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk's side, they were surely not the Yan Family's match. Forcing their way through was definitely unsuitable.

Helian Tiehua and his three companions charged at Wanyan Hongsheng and his group to draw their attention, preventing them from noticing the Bloody Monk's group overhead. However, Panlong Valley was too deep, at a height of a thousand meters, using ropes to lift so many people even for the Bloody Monk with extraordinary skills was somewhat difficult. Accidentally knocking down a stone drew Wanyan Hongsheng and his group's attention.

Seeing the Bloody Monk straining with all his might to pull the rope up, the Purple Robe Lama's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The words of the Reincarnated True Buddha kept echoing in his ears. Unexpectedly, in the end, he still met the Bloody Monk. Could it be that he was truly going to die here this time?

Below, Helian Tiehua and others desperately stopped the Yan Family people, but it was still useless. The Yan Family had too many people, surrounding them entirely, with many rushing towards the Bloody Monk's direction. The situation was urgently critical.

Seeing the Purple Robe Lama still in a daze, an elder couldn't help but angrily shout: "What is the Purple Robe Venerable doing? Why isn't he helping?"

"Purple Robe Venerable, although this is only a matter of Huaxia, Ye Qing is also in the valley. He has close relations with Brahmanism, please help save him!" Helian Tiehua shouted loudly, thinking the Purple Robe Lama didn't want to get involved in Huaxia's matters, thus mentioning Ye Qing's name. After all, the Reincarnated True Buddha is Ye Qing's adopted son, both sentimentally and logically, the Purple Robe Lama should really help!

Listening to Helian Tiehua's words, the Purple Robe Lama couldn't help but bitterly smile inside. This fundamentally wasn't about whether it related to Brahmanism or not; even if he spoke out the truth, who would believe him?

"Enough! Enough!" the Purple Robe Lama suddenly shouted twice, swiftly rushing out, charging towards the Yan Family, intercepting the ones at the front.

"Purple Robe Lama, how dare you ruin my plan!" Wanyan Hongsheng yelled from afar: "Since you know about the Divine Clan corpse, then you should also know that today, anyone who dares to oppose me won't leave here alive!"

"If I don't go to hell, who will!" the Purple Robe Lama shouted back, executing Crossing the River with a Reed to its utmost, blocking all three peak masters.

This sentence, spoken by the Purple Robe Lama, seemed particularly tragic. In fact, no one knew what the Purple Robe Lama was truly thinking. This time, he truly came with the intention of dying to assist!

"Then I'll send you to hell!" Wanyan Hongsheng roared, suddenly charging forward, grabbing the coffin at the forefront and heading straight for the Purple Robe Lama.

Looking at the coffin, the Purple Robe Lama furrowed his brow. The coffin presumably contained the Divine Clan's corpse; it seemed Wanyan Hongsheng intended to deal with him first. Could this be the final result? Was he to die because of this Divine Clan corpse?

Wanyan Hongsheng rapidly approached, crossing over the three peak masters, fiercely throwing the coffin towards the Purple Robe Lama.

The Purple Robe Lama's Qinggong was unmatched, but being entangled by three peak masters, dodging was impossible. As the coffin was about to cover him, the Purple Robe Lama shouted, extending his hands to brace the coffin, forcefully pushing it upward!
