Chapter 1534 - 566: Man-Eating Snow Mountain
Seeing Zhou Xuan approaching, the Eternal Life Sect Leader and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Those children of the Longba Family, Zhou Xuan would handle them,
while what they needed to do was to follow the original plan and first send away those male and female slaves.
The Green Robed Buddha recited Buddha’s Spell, two Prajna surged, undoing the frostbite of those slaves frozen by the cold wind.
These people were unclothed, and upon witnessing the Divine Skills of the Green Robed Buddha, each was scared to death, they all kneeled down.
Even ants want to live; these male and female slaves, though in a miserable state, also hope to find a way to survive.
"Master, should I send them directly to another State, or..."
The Green Robed Buddha asked.
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Sending them away now would cause too much commotion. Tiancan, where have you kept Ya Zi?"
Zhou Xuan went to the Reincarnation Temple playing as Ning Yu, while Zhao Wuya was entrusted to the Three Divine Beings for care. Today, only the Three Divine Beings were present, Zhao Wuya was nowhere to be seen, it seemed—Ya Zi had been hidden away by the Tiancan Monk.
Since he could hide Zhao Wuya, hiding these dozens of male and female slaves was not a problem.
"They are in my robe."
The Tiancan Monk pointed forward, and his broken robe detached straight from his body, hovering beside Zhou Xuan.
The familiar snores of Zhao Wuya could be heard from inside the robe.
"My robe can swallow gold within, hiding several people is as easy as that."
The Tiancan Monk said.
"Good."
Zhou Xuan said, "Then you first hide these male and female slaves in the broken robe, and after today’s affairs are over, send them out of the snowfield."
"I obey the Master’s command."
The Tiancan Monk whistled, and with a wave of the sleeve of the broken robe, all the male and female slaves were collected into the robe.
Immediately, Zhou Xuan heard Zhao Wuya’s voice from inside the robe: "Who is it, squeezing my space? Sleep over there."
Zhou Xuan: "..."
Zhou Xuan laughed, "This Ya Zi has such a temperament, even sleeping is restless."
Ever since Zhao Wuya caused an avalanche at the Buddha Praise Heavenly Palace, he had been sleeping deeply, it seemed—related to his "Heavenly Peng Rebirth" matter.
"Heavenly Peng Rebirth... this Ya Zi’s fate is indeed quite peculiar."
Zhou Xuan said to himself.
Speaking of Zhao Wuya, he was once the vessel of the Buddhist Sect’s "Seven-leaf Venerable" and "Master Wu Ya," two of the Twenty-one Zen, and he himself was the reincarnation of the "Heavenly Peng Bird," his fate was intertwined oddly.
About Zhao Wuya’s fate, Zhou Xuan also had no time to delve deeper, as currently, there were still many people to slaughter.
The male and female slaves had been collected into the robe by the Tiancan Monk, while the remaining task was figuring out how to destroy those clan members and servants from the Longba Manor, creating a mysterious death ritual to intimidate Ning Jin Longba.
The Tiancan Monk re-draped the broken robe, while the Eternal Life Sect Leader stepped forward, he turned back and spoke to Zhou Xuan, "Master, you said the method to kill these clan members and servants should echo the Great Snow Mountain Curse,
As Boba Golden Buddha said, the Great Snow Mountain Curse refers to the six great families dying from snow disasters of the Great Snow Mountain in this harsh winter—Snow Mountain devouring people,
Then I shall let these vicious servants and clan members perish at the hand of the Great Snow Mountain. Using the mountain’s ice to strung them like candied hawthorn, what do you think?"
The Eternal Life Sect Leader adopted a submissive stance before Zhou Xuan, without making presumptive judgments,
He had an idea in mind, but needed to speak to Zhou Xuan first, for him to judge its feasibility.
Zhou Xuan did not respond hastily, he gazed with interest at the majestic snow mountain across the heavenly pool.
That mountain was filled with jagged rocks, and each outstretching rock wall had rows of unusually long and thick icicles forming,
If using these icicles to impale the clan members and servants of the Longba Family, the sense of brutality would be there, but the mysterious and ritualistic feeling of death seemed lacking.
"Can’t quite capture the cursed atmosphere."
Zhou Xuan pondered silently for a while, then softly spoke to the Eternal Life Sect Leader, "Pierced by icicles, brutality is certainly achieved, but the mysterious flavor of death is slightly lacking."
"Still lacking something?" The Eternal Life Sect Leader scratched his head, unable to think of a better idea.
Meanwhile, the Green Robed Buddha interjected, "Why don’t we toss these scoundrels into the heavenly pool, then freeze the whole pool? Wouldn’t that further echo the man-eating curse of the Great Snow Mountain?"
Zhou Xuan shook his head again, "The ritual sense and atmosphere are sufficient, but the brutality falls far short."
He was employing the death ritual precisely to intimidate Ning Jin Longba, forcing him to join Boba Golden Buddha’s ’Eliminate Zhou Plan,’
If the suffocating sense of brutality wasn’t maximized, how would Ning Jin Longba comply?
"Hmm..." Zhou Xuan mused quietly, then turned his gaze again,
This time, he looked at the Tiancan Monk.
Feeling uneasy under Zhou Xuan’s gaze, the Tiancan Monk smiled with a hint of nervousness, "Master, don’t look at me. Who here doesn’t know that Tiancan’s brain isn’t that sharp?"
"I’m not looking at you." Zhou Xuan lightly moved aside the Tiancan Monk and said, "I’m looking at those two mountains behind you."
Zhou Xuan pointed to the two mountains, asking the Eternal Life Sect Leader and Green Robed Buddha, "Little Changsheng, Old Buddha, take a look, what do those two mountains resemble?"
The Eternal Life Sect Leader raised his head to observe, he saw that the peaks of the two mountains were interlocking like canine teeth, though referred to as two mountains, they were extremely close together, resembling more like one mountain split in half, with a not-so-wide gap between them.
As for what these two mountains resemble...
"Resemble what... resemble what?" The Eternal Life Sect Leader pondered deeply, his head unconsciously tilting, and the angle of inclination growing lower and lower,
