Chapter 373 Some people, after a few words, become crippled.

Upon learning of the affair between Monk Jiaxiang and Fan Qinghui, not only Qu Feiyan but also the elders of the Yin Kui Sect unconsciously perked up their ears.

Everyone has a gossipy nature.

For the Yin Kui sect members, the gossip of Cihang Jingzhai was even more intriguing.

After entering the treasure chamber, Chu Qinghe stopped spreading his true essence. Naturally, the conversation between Qu Feiyan and Wanwan was clearly heard by the others in the chamber.

Naturally, upon hearing Wanwan and Qu Feiyan's conversation, both Monk Jiaxiang and Fan Qinghui's expressions darkened.

As Fan Qinghui's gaze locked onto Wanwan, a murderous intent flickered in her eyes.

Even the originally kind and benevolent-looking monk Jiaxiang's face darkened slightly at this moment.

The other three holy monks, including Daoxin, frowned slightly as they listened to Wanwan's words, their gazes unconsciously sweeping over Fan Qinghui and Jiaxiang, as if they were also wondering whether Wanwan's words were true or false.

During the conversation, Chu Qinghe seemed to be quite interested in what Wanwan was saying, but he didn't interrupt Qu Feiyan and Wanwan's conversation. He simply fanned himself with his folding fan.

As if noticing the expressions of Monk Daoxin and the others, Monk Jiaxiang put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, does Benefactor Zhu intend to allow his disciple to utter such foul and slanderous words?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan sneered, "In Buddhism, there is a saying: 'Bodhi has no tree, the bright mirror is not a stand, originally there is nothing, where can dust settle?' If one is upright and clear-headed, one need not care about what others say. I understand this principle, but you don't. It's laughable that someone like you can become a so-called holy monk."

Upon hearing the voice, the monk Jiaxiang paused, but if he continued to speak after Zhu Yuyan had said those words, it would be tantamount to proving that he had impure intentions and was just trying to refute her. If he remained silent, he would be letting Wanwan continue to speak recklessly.

For a moment, his old face flushed slightly.

Upon seeing the expression on Jiaxiang's face, Dongfang Bubai and the other women, including Yaoyue, all looked at him with disdain.

Perhaps because they had been by Chu Qinghe's side for a long time and learned about the two Buddhist forces, the Southern Shaolin of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Shaolin of the Song Dynasty, not only Dongfang Bubai and a few others, but even Lin Shiyin, who had previously held Buddhism in high esteem, had unknowingly lost her goodwill towards the so-called Buddhist forces.

Looking at the red-faced monk Jiaxiang across from her, Lin Shiyin felt a hint of disdain in her eyes.

At this moment, Fan Qinghui suddenly spoke up: "People of the Demonic Sect are good at sophistry, so why should Master Jiaxiang waste his breath talking to this demoness?"

After saying this to the monk Jiaxiang in the distance, Fan Qinghui turned her gaze to Zhu Yuyan.

"Now, only the Yin Kui Sect remains in the Demonic Sect, stubbornly resisting. It just so happens that we have encountered a demon like Shi Zhixuan today. After we deal with you, we will kill Shi Zhixuan. From now on, it will be difficult for your Demonic Sect to wreak havoc on the people of the Tang Dynasty. This will be a great deed for everyone."

After these words were spoken, Daoxin and the other two monks pondered for a moment before turning their attention back to Zhu Yuyan and the others, their true essence slowly circulating within them.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhu Yuyan's expression darkened, and her true essence unconsciously flowed out from her upper, middle, and lower dantian.

But the next second, Zhu Yuyan seemed to come back to her senses and suddenly withdrew the true essence that had just flowed out of her dantian and turned to look at Chu Qinghe.

They clearly adopted a humble stance with Chu Qinghe in charge.

"Um?"

Noticing Zhu Yuyan's reaction, Fan Qinghui, the four holy monks, and Zhao Xuetu and the others in the stone chamber all showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Especially Fan Qinghui, seeing that Chu Qinghe's gaze was now fixed on her with a respectful yet questioning look, a sense of doubt arose in her heart.

As Zhu Yuyan's mortal enemy, Fan Qinghui naturally knew a lot about Zhu Yuyan. As the dignified leader of the Yin Gui Sect, Zhu Yuyan, who was known as the "Yin Empress," was far more arrogant than ordinary people could imagine.

In Fan Qinghui's memory, even when she was by Shi Zhixuan's side, Zhu Yuyan had never shown such respect.

For a moment, Fan Qinghui couldn't help but shift her gaze to Chu Qinghe, a strong sense of curiosity rising within her.

However, before Fan Qinghui and the others could think further, Chu Qinghe, who had remained silent until now, raised his eyes slightly and looked at the Bad Commander, slowly saying, "Now that we're already inside this treasure vault, why don't you trouble the Bad Commander to spend some time talking with me?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the body of the Bad Commander standing beside Li Shimin, hidden beneath his armor, stiffened slightly for a moment, and his deep eyes immediately rose to look at Chu Qinghe.

"The Bad Commander?"

The slightly lazy voice that came out caused Li Shimin, Zhao Xuetu, and Fan Qinghui, who were present, to change their expressions.

Li Shimin and Fan Qinghui, in particular, followed Chu Qinghe's gaze.

The same applies to Dongfang Bubai and the Water Mother Yin Ji, who are standing next to Chu Qinghe.

In an instant, all eyes in the arena fell on the Bad Marshal.

However, the Bad Marshal completely ignored the stares that fell on him from the surrounding crowd.

When his gaze fell on Chu Qinghe, the Bad Commander's hoarse voice slowly rang out.

"Ha! I never expected that I, the commander, would be so mistaken."

The moment the voice left his mouth, a burst of energy suddenly erupted from the body of the Bad Commander.

Under this surge of energy, the armor on the Bad Commander instantly turned to dust, revealing the simple, elegant blue robe he wore underneath.
