Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Runan held the Nirvana Relic in his hand, his gaze fixed on Huang Miao standing in the air.

In the past, Huang Miao had blocked people at the Pudu River. Now, Runan was blocking Huang Miao at Wanzhou Ridge. It could be considered a cycle of karma.

Runan looked at Huang Miao’s leisurely expression, merely standing silently in the distance without making any anxious moves.

This was not hard to understand.

After all, the Radiant Buddha was ultimately a member of the Buddhist sect. The internal slaughter of the Buddhist sect had nothing to do with Huang Miao. He was just here to annoy people.

Or rather, given Huang Miao’s temperament, just coming to stand here was already giving Chu Xingchen enough face.

Runan did not speak either. His eyes were half-closed as he sat in the golden lotus canopy, waiting quietly for time to pass.

Huang Miao closed his eyes to rest his spirit. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. A streak of light rushed from the horizon at extreme speed. He raised his hand to summon it.

Runan looked over vigilantly.

Only to see a smile appear on Huang Miao’s face. He looked at Runan and finally spoke:

"Junior, the uselessness of your Buddhist sect has once again exceeded my imagination."

Runan remained silent, looking at Huang Miao with a calm, water-like gaze.

Huang Miao raised his hand and pushed the message talisman towards Runan, saying with a light smile:

"I’ll give you a piece of news for free today, so you know how good I, Huang, am to juniors."

Runan looked at the sarcastic Huang Miao and the slowly approaching message talisman. Without much hesitation, he raised his hand and summoned the talisman into his palm.

Not daring to look would only put him at a disadvantage. Besides, why not look at intelligence given for free?

Runan lightly pinched the talisman and probed into it with his spiritual power. He soon saw the contents of the message.

[The Radiant Buddha has been brought back from the Western Niu Continent. The mission is over. Senior, you may return.]

[Upon meeting Honored Buddha Runan, you may inform him that the Radiant Buddha awaits in Huazhen Hall to settle past mistakes.]

Runan’s expression remained calm. The news given by Huang Miao could be read, but he would definitely not believe it.

Huang Miao swept his sarcastic gaze over Honored Buddha Runan twice, then turned and left without hesitation the next moment, leaving only the Buddhist sect personnel behind.

Seeing Huang Miao leave without hesitation, Runan took back the message talisman, turned his head to the Arhat beside him, and said:

"Go ask if the Evil Buddha has been captured. If not, has he fled?"

The Arhat beside him respectfully cupped his hands and agreed.

Runan waited calmly for a moment. The Arhat beside him spoke softly:

"Honored Buddha, the Evil Buddha has still not been captured. As for fleeing, the report says he probably hasn’t. The search is still ongoing."

Runan looked sideways:

"Probably hasn’t? Previously, it was reported that Chu Xingchen was within the encirclement. Now Huang Miao has left so confidently, even claiming to be in Huazhen Hall waiting to sort out his mistakes with me."

The Arhat bowed his head and asked softly:

"Should I have the Buddhas report in detail?"

Runan watched Huang Miao’s departing figure and said:

"I will go back and see for myself. All the Buddhas here will stay in place to prevent Huang Miao from playing any tricks."

The Arhat cupped his hands and obeyed the order.

Runan’s ornate canopy remained stationary. Only the golden curtains lowered, shielding the interior.

Wenliu Buddha’s divine sense swept over, his face solemn and grave.

The Evil Buddha was fully prepared and tried to escape by taking a detour. After being discovered, he used his prior preparations to hide again.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal.

After all, the encirclement was still shrinking, and there were not many places left for the Evil Buddha to hide.

But with the message from Honored Buddha Runan...

Wenliu looked at Huawu True Buddha, who had just regrouped and arrived. He remained silent, but his eyes were full of suspicion.

Golden Armor Buddha followed his gaze and looked at Huawu True Buddha, then asked:

"There are very few places the Evil Buddha can escape to, and only one direction to flee."

Huawu True Buddha’s expression was calm: "Are you trying to say that I let the Evil Buddha go?"

"You were the only one alone at the time!" Golden Armor Buddha spoke resolutely.

Huawu True Buddha sneered:

"Then you came to reinforce. Did you see with your own eyes that it was the Evil Buddha himself?"

"Naturally, we confirmed it."

"You and Wenliu rushed to reinforce from my direction. So you think the direction the Evil Buddha fled would be mine?" Huawu True Buddha’s tone was unceremonious.

"If you put it that way, could it be that you harbored selfish motives and deliberately let the Evil Buddha go?"

"Five people couldn’t catch him, and now you’re blaming me alone?"

"Your cultivation base is extremely sloppy, and you only know how to shirk responsibility when things go wrong."

Hearing this, Golden Armor Buddha felt anger rise in his heart and glared fiercely at Huawu True Buddha.

Huawu True Buddha’s gaze condensed, meeting his stare without yielding. His heavy Tribulation Transcendence aura pressed down. In just a moment, Golden Armor Buddha’s gaze instantly calmed.

Huawu True Buddha rarely returned to the Great Thunder Temple, and the Karma Buddhas stationed there mostly no longer managed affairs.

Besides Runan, the Secular Buddhas actually governed most of the Buddhist sect’s daily matters.

The Karma Buddhas in the Great Thunder Temple basically never had disputes with the Secular Buddhas. Or rather, the Karma Buddhas would always make extra concessions.

Over time, Golden Armor Buddha had grown accustomed to it and forgotten...

Just how exceptionally lethal this group of Karma Buddhas truly were.

The moment that profound, heaven-and-man-unified aura was revealed, Golden Armor Buddha remembered that the Karma Buddhas’ past concessions were not born of weakness. This instantly sobered him.

Seeing this, Wenliu Buddha quickly interjected:

"The situation is not yet settled. We must guard against the possibility that this is Chu Xingchen’s feint."

Huawu True Buddha withdrew his aura, glanced disdainfully at Golden Armor Buddha, and then looked towards the east.

Wenliu Buddha looked over in doubt. After waiting a moment, he understood the situation.

The Buddhas present also waited quietly.

Runan’s figure arrived at extreme speed. His gaze swept over the waiting Buddhas. Without greeting them, he directly asked:

"Is there still no trace of the Evil Buddha?"

Wenliu stepped forward and replied: "There is, but it’s hard to locate and track. His concealment seems much stronger than before. I don’t know what method he used."

Runan turned and asked again: "Then what do you think? Is what Chu Xingchen said true or false?"

Wenliu replied: "At least I think the Evil Buddha hasn’t fled yet. Chu Xingchen is full of tricks. We should guard against this being a stratagem."

Runan nodded slightly, his gaze turning to Huawu True Buddha, and asked softly:

"Huawu, what do you think we should do now?"

Huawu True Buddha didn’t hesitate and directly said:

"Naturally, the encirclement here remains unchanged. Whether Chu Xingchen’s invitation is true or false, we will know when we meet."

Runan looked at Huawu True Buddha and asked after waiting a moment:

"What if the Evil Buddha really did escape?"

Huawu True Buddha looked at Runan and smiled lightly:

"The orthodox Buddhist sect has nothing to fear from heretical doctrines."

Seeing Huawu True Buddha’s expression, Runan naturally understood that this remark was meant to mock him.

If it was really as Huawu said, wouldn’t their current pursuit be a joke?

Seeing this, Wenliu Buddha quickly chimed in:

"We should discuss this after we meet him."

Runan nodded slightly:

"Tomorrow, both you and Huawu will follow me."

Wenliu bowed and agreed.

Huawu just nodded slightly and didn’t say anything.
