Chapter 257: Rushing To The Shaolin Temple.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“The Back Mountain’s array has been tampered with by a Legend?”

Su Qin’s eyes flashed a deep glint. He opened the [Eyes of Truth] and [Celestial Eyes], then thousands of internal qi were displayed in front of him.

Although Su Qin had left the Shaolin Temple for 30 years now, the array that covered the Back Mountain Forbidden Area was still in operation. He created this array, so even though he was far away, he could still feel it.

“The internal qi of Peak Legend?”

Su Qin slightly frowned. Through the [Eyes of Truth], he saw that in the Shaolin Temple, an internal qi was soaring into the sky, almost swooping down over a several hundred li wide area.

For Su Qin, he could easily see the internal qi of ordinary creatures. As long as they were living creatures, they all had internal qi, which fell into the [Eyes of Truth]’s insight. As for the internal qi of a Legend, he could perceive it even less. He could only faintly perceive that at the edge of the continent, there would be the internal qi of a Legend.

As for the Peak Legend he was sensing, it was unique. In Su Qin’s ‘sight’, the internal qi of the Peak Legend in the Shaolin Temple was as dazzling as the sun.

“What is a Peak Legend doing in the Shaolin Temple?”

Su Qin slightly frowned. The [Eyes of Truth] can only observe the internal qi, but it cannot see everything.

“Huh?”

Just as Su Qin was about to go to the Shaolin Temple, he suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked at the Imperial Palace. He took a step and disappeared.

East Palace.

Su Qin saw Emperor Li Sheng walking around anxiously.

“Third Brother.”

“It’s not good.” When Emperor Li Sheng saw Su Qin appear, he immediately said: “People from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall have gone to the Shaolin Temple.”

“Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?”

“To the Shaolin Temple?”

Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed.

He was wondering just now, which Peak Legend went to the Shaolin Temple. It seems that, according to Emperor Li Sheng, it’s someone from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

“I see.”

Su Qin lightly replied.

In fact, even if Emperor Li Sheng did not say it, Su Qin could guess that it was an Ancestor from a Major Sect overseas. After all, there was not even a Legend on this continent, let alone a Peak Legend.

Only overseas, that dated back from the last prosperous era, would there be a Peak Legend.

“Senior.”

“Should I take action?”

The Old Taoist cautiously asked.

The Old Taoist did not know the relationship between Su Qin and the Shaolin Temple, but since Emperor Li Sheng was so anxious, he immediately informed Su Qin that he was willing to volunteer and act for Su Qin.

“No need.”

Su Qin shook his head slightly: “The one who went to the Shaolin Temple was a Peak Legend. You are not his opponent.”

The Old Taoist may have been a Sect Elder, but his strength was only at the 4th Heavenly Layer. Although he would have no problem in dealing with ordinary troubles, against a Peak Legend…

“Peak Legend…” The Old Taoist was dumbfounded.

In a flash, the Old Taoist paled and he couldn’t help, but ask: “Could it be that the 9th Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall has awakened?”

“The 9th Ancestor?” Emperor Li was taken aback.

The Old Taoist resisted the astonishment in his heart and quickly introduced the 9th Ancestor.

Emperor Li Sheng’s expression changed after hearing this.

If it was only an ordinary Arhat or Legend, Emperor Li Sheng naturally believed that Su Qin could easily handle the matter, but it’s the 9th Ancestor! Even as the weakest one among the Ancestors in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, he was stronger than Ancestor Chi Yuan.

“Senior, if it were the 9th Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, the Shaolin Temple would be in danger.” The Old Taoist’s face was heavy.

Chang’an City was far away from the Shaolin Temple. Even if it was not as far away as the Kunlun Mountains, the distance was close to ten thousand li.

If one wanted to cross this distance, even if Su Qin was also a Peak Legend, it would take the time to burn an incense stick.

With the strength of the 9th Ancestor, that small amount of time would be enough to crush the Shaolin Temple a hundred times over.

By then, even if Su Qin arrived, it will be too late.

“Don’t worry.”

Su Qin shook his head slightly, without saying much.

The reason why he didn’t rush to the Shaolin Temple right away, was because he wanted to observe whether there were other Peak Legends laying in ambush near the Shaolin Temple.

According to the Old Taoist, there were nine Ancestors of the Peak Legend level in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

What if these nine Ancestors joined forces to set a trap and wanted to bait Su Qin to go inside?

Although Su Qin had stepped into the 9th Heavenly Layer and unless one was an Earth Immortal, he was not afraid.

But the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall had deep roots, so Su Qin was naturally extremely cautious against them.

After a moment, after Su Qin ascertained that there was no danger, he glanced at Emperor Li Sheng and the Old Taoist and said softly: “I will go out for about half a day, the max is several days, then I will come back.”

As soon as he said so, Su Qin’s figure disappeared in front of Emperor Li Sheng and the Old Taoist.

“Third Brother, did he go to the Shaolin Temple?” Emperor Li Sheng couldn’t help asking.

“I’m afraid so.” The Old Taoist looked solemn.

Su Qin could kill Ancestor Chi Yuan, but the 9th Ancestor was not comparable to Ancestor Chi Yuan.

“I hope that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall will not completely cast aside all considerations.” The Old Taoist sighed in his heart, thinking silently.

……

At the Shaolin Temple.

Back Mountain Forbidden Area.

The endless clouds and mists oscillated, gathering into dragons, rotating around the 9th Ancestor. He was covered with a terrifying pressure.

Under this pressure, ordinary Legends could only retreat, let alone continue to break in.

But the 9th Ancestor was obviously not an ordinary Legend.

He was the Ninth Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, and he was a Peak Arhat with a domain.

With the strength of the 9th Ancestor, how could the array stop him?

“Break!”

The 9th Ancestor calmly took a step forward.

Suddenly, as the 9th Ancestor stepped forward, the entire Back Mountain Forbidden Area suddenly trembled. There was a faint tearing sound from the Buddha Mountain, as if they could not withstand a certain amount of pressure.

“Not good!”

Abbot Hui Wen’s expression changed drastically.

The array that could suppress everything, collapsed like paper in front of the 9th Ancestor.

Abbot Hui Wen, no matter how sluggish his thinking was, could see that the array was about to break!

“Abbot, what should we do?” Xuan Ku beside him looked anxious.

Shortly after returning from the Kunlun Mountains, Xuan Ku entered the Grade 1 Great Perfection.

However, at this moment, facing the 9th Ancestor, who easily broke through the array, the so-called Great 1 Great Perfection was like a joke.

In the eyes of Xuan Ku, the 9th Ancestor was in harmony with the Heavens and Earth, terrifying.

However, even if he knew he was far from being the opponent of the 9th Ancestor, Xuan Ku did not mean to take a step back.

The Back Mountain Forbidden Area was not only the main place of the Shaolin Temple, but also Su Qin’s seclusion area. How could it be possible for an outsider to break in casually?

Just when Xuan Ku was about to desperately prevent the 9th Ancestor from continuing to break the array.

The wooden sword on his neck shone, bursting with an aura.

The wooden sword floated in the air and broke free from Xuan Ku. Shocking Sword Intent brewed.

“This is?”

Xuan Ku blinked and couldn’t react for a long time.

In his eyes, won’t the wooden sword only activate when he was in danger? Why did it take the initiative to appear now?

“It’s the Venerable!”

Xuan Ku suddenly thought of something.

When they separated in the Kunlun Mountains, Su Qin once asked for the wooden sword back, before returning it to Xuan Ku after a while.

At this time, the wooden sword having such a change, can only be that Su Qin left something.

Except for Xuan Ku, the Court Heads and Abbot Hui Wen looked excited, full of expectations when they saw this.

[Weng~]!

The 9th Ancestor, who was about to break through the array, suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned his head and looked towards the wooden sword suspended in the air, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

“This Sword Intent?”

“Is it the Myriad Sword Sect?”

The 9th Ancestor’s eyebrows slightly frowned.

Among the Major Sects overseas, only the Myriad Sword Sect was known for its sword techniques. At this moment, when the 9th Ancestor saw such a sharp Sword Intent, the first thought that came to mind was that the Myriad Sword Sect intervened.

“No, it’s not right.”

“It’s not the Myriad Sword Sect.”

“The Sword Dao of the Myriad Sword Sect is far less sharp than this Sword Intent!”

The expression of the 9th Ancestor changed slightly. This was also the first time his expression had changed since coming to the Shaolin Temple.

“Is the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple really a Peak Arhat?”

The 9th Ancestors felt it was a little unbelievable.

With the eyes of the 9th Ancestor, he could naturally see that the existence behind this wooden sword should be a powerhouse of the same level as him.

In other words, the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple’s strength had indeed reached the Peak Arhat.

But how was this possible?

Although this was the battlefield and the core of the vitality’s recovery, the vitality had only started to recover. It needed to reach a certain extent, before it can reveal it’s full potential.

But now?

Only 20 years after the recovery of vitality, two powerhouses of the Peak Legend level had appeared. It was simply unimaginable!

While the 9th Ancestor was thinking about it, the wooden sword that had gathered enough Sword Intent pointed its tip upwards and slowly cut down.

At the same time, at the position of the hilt, a hand seemed to have faintly appeared.

This illusion continued to spread and condense till it formed a slender silhouette.

It was as if this slender silhouette was holding the wooden sword and cutting down towards the 9th Ancestor.

“Hmph!”

When the 9th Ancestor saw this, he coldly snorted and his domain slowly spread from his body, permeating within a hundred zhang.

[Whoosh~]!

The Sword Light streaked across and slashed into the domain, but the originally sharp sword suddenly began to slow down. After cutting more than half of the domain, it slowly dissipated.

[Crack~]!

The wooden sword seemed to have completely lost its power and shattered, before it dissipated into the air.

Everyone was silent.

All of the Shaolin Temple disciple’s faces were pale.

Everyone, including Abbot Hui Wen, looked desperate.

Even the wooden sword left by the Venerable broke. Was there anyone in the world who can stop the 9th Ancestor?

“If your Venerable is here, then I would be in a bit of trouble, but it’s just a wooden sword…”

The 9th Ancestor shook his head slightly and looked at the hazy silhouette, that spread out from the wooden sword.

That wooden sword, against other Legends, was considered an ultimate weapon. Even a 6th Heavenly Layer Legend might be killed by the wooden sword.

But using this wooden sword to kill the 9th Ancestor was basically impossible.

“Really?”

The hazy silhouette suddenly voiced. It was a sound that only existed in the Spiritual Plane. After it resounded in the ears of the 9th Ancestor, it quickly dissipated.

“Huh?”

The 9th Ancestor frowned.

However, before the 9th Ancestor could understand, his complexion changed.

The 9th Ancestor suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction. In his perception, a horrifying aura shattered the void and was moving towards the Shaolin Temple at a terrifying speed.
