Chapter 1545 - 569: Army at the City Gates (Part 2)
Boba finished talking with Zhou Xuan, then lowered his head and presented a Buddhist salutation to the six Buddha Slaves, speaking reverently: "The golden Buddha of Revolving Wheel Temple, Boba, pays homage to the Ancient Buddha’s Slave."
The five Buddha Slaves merely nodded slightly in return,
While the Golden Body Slave smiled and said, "The Buddha is merciful. We have come here to head to Ping Shui Prefecture to break the ’Yanfu Ti Space.’
For many years, we have followed the path of the Ancient Buddha, with great compassion in our hearts. The Buddha Country has humiliated our Jing Country, and we must seek justice for Jing Country."
His words were spoken righteously. If Zhou Xuan didn’t already know that these six Buddha Slaves and Boba had colluded, he might have honestly thought these six Buddha Slaves were some kind of noble beings.
Then, the Golden Body Slave looked at the Turtle Mountain Taoist and asked, "Mr. of Mingjiang Prefecture, you are a disciple of the Nuo God and have received the true inheritance of the Tao Ancestor. Surely you’ve seen the world—do you find our Buddha energy abundant?"
The Turtle Mountain Taoist nodded slightly, opened a folded fan, and said, "Indeed, indeed, with you great Buddhas present, Yanfu Ti stands no chance."
"Time is of the essence. Please, Mr., lead the way, and we shall follow to Ping Shui Prefecture."
"Of course, I shall guide you."
As soon as the Turtle Mountain Taoist finished speaking, he put away his fan and shouted, "Raise the sedan."
Beside him, the Eternal Life Sect Leader, the Tiancan Monk, and the Green Robed Buddha, the three Divine Beings, each created a cloud mist.
The mist formed a white sedan, which gently lifted the Turtle Mountain Taoist.
Then, the three Divine Beings served as sedan carriers, each raising a hand, carrying the Turtle Mountain Taoist away.
"The Mr. of Ping Shui Prefecture sure knows how to put on airs."
Boba said through gritted teeth.
Ning Jin Longba felt a sense of envy, secretly saying, "Being carried by the Divine Beings in a sedan—if I could achieve this in my lifetime, I won’t have lived in vain."
Meanwhile, the six Buddha Slaves closed their eyes again, transformed into a cold winter wind, and drifted in the direction of Ping Shui Prefecture.
"I never thought they would be so meticulous."
To Zhou Xuan, the Turtle Mountain Taoist’s act of putting on airs wasn’t about pride, but rather about concealment.
The Turtle Mountain Taoist’s incense fire level was not high, nor did he possess the ’Human World’s fastest speed’ divine skill. If he personally led the way, he’d surely reveal himself to the six Buddha Slaves,
But having the three Divine Beings carry him allowed him to avoid showing his true abilities and elevated his own status.
With the status of ’being carried by Divine Beings,’ the six Buddha Slaves wouldn’t consider the man in the sedan, Zhou Xuan, to be a fake or a counterfeit.
"Brother, then what about us?" Zhou Xuan asked Boba.
"We... we’ll naturally follow along."
Boba saw "Zhou Xuan" already heading off, and then said to Ning Jin Longba, "Lord Longba, gather all the elite of the Six Great Families to accompany the six Buddha Slaves into Ping Shui Prefecture."
After saying this, he added, "Today, after we eliminate Zhou Xuan, we shall observe the situation."
"If Zhou Xuan is dead, won’t we just snatch Zhao Wuya? What else is there to observe?"
Ning Jin Longba asked confused.
Boba replied, "Lord Longba, you’re confused. The six Buddha Slaves are top-tier combatants of Jing Country; it’s a rare opportunity to have them come out. We must make it worth their while, right?
We must observe carefully. If the Nuo God of the Zhou Family awakens, we’ll have to return. But if the Nuo God of the Zhou Family doesn’t awaken, Ping Shui Prefecture is rich and prosperous, unlike our impoverished Snow Plain Prefecture,
Shouldn’t we take that vast prefecture city?"
Boba’s words awakened Ning Jin Longba.
"Well said, Golden Buddha. Since the Buddha Slaves have entered the prefecture, wouldn’t it be a shame not to plunder thoroughly with all those divine skills our ancestors left us?"
Ning Jin Longba immediately said, "Golden Buddha, proceed first to Ping Shui Prefecture. The Six Great Families will follow behind you."
"Of course."
Boba performed another Buddhist salutation and said, "Lord Longba, if today’s mission succeeds, your Longba Family will have the first merit in Snowfield. Time waits for no one; I’ll go ahead."
After speaking, he waved forward, and a golden light wheel appeared.
Within the light wheel was Ping Shui Prefecture’s Lotus Mountain.
"Disciple, follow me."
Boba Living Buddha took a step into the light wheel, and Zhou Xuan followed.
...
Ping Shui Prefecture has the Zhou Family Ancestor Tree,
A prefecture city with an Ancestor Tree usually has an Ancient Tree Golden Bell.
The Ancient Tree Golden Bell is the most important monitoring magic artifact within the prefecture city. If experts over the Six Incense Sticks level enter, the bell would ring loudly, alerting the God Traveling Department.
This time, the six Buddha Slaves entered the prefecture with legitimate reasons, so they didn’t suppress the golden bell,
Hence, after they settled at Lotus Mountain, the alarm rang in Ping Shui Prefecture,
Several lanterns from the God Traveling Department were hung,
Among them was a lantern with an image of ’hands lifting the night,’
This lantern belonged to Lord Jiu.
"I am the Night Patrol Deity of Ping Shui Prefecture. Who are you, and why do you trespass the prefecture city?"
The six Buddha Slaves, full of pride, didn’t even glance at the lantern, continuing toward the depths of Lotus Mountain.
"Such noncooperation—do you really wish to embarrass yourself?"
Lord Jiu immediately reprimanded,
And at that moment, the Turtle Mountain Taoist, carried by three God-level beings, arrived,
The Turtle Mountain Taoist waved his folded fan at Lord Jiu and said, "Lord Jiu, they are the helpers I, Zhou Xuan, invited to break the ’Yanfu Ti Space,’ not evildoers."
"Oh, since they’re the helpers invited by the Mr., then I am relieved—fellow traveling deities, return to the department with me."
