"Third Uncle, if only you had done this sooner! Several elders died in battle... and I could only watch helplessly. You must avenge them this time you emerge from seclusion."
“I know, Ye Xingchen?” Xu Jinhai let out a long sigh of relief: “I came out this time to deal with this kid.”
"Really, Third Uncle? You really came here to deal with this guy?" Xu Ping's eyes lit up, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard dares to go against our Xu family. My cultivation is low, and I couldn't do anything to him before, but now that you've come out of seclusion, everything will be much easier."
"Hmph, I am comprehending the formless Dharma body transmitted by the Great Formless Temple. Once I grasp the essentials, I will be able to break through the three realms of celestial phenomena, and I will also have a new understanding of the unity of emptiness and nothingness of our Xu family. At that time, my cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort."
"If that were the case, my Xu family wouldn't have fallen to this state. In the end, it's because you juniors are useless. You're scared out of your wits by just one Ye Xingchen?"
Xu Ping fell silent; he genuinely didn't know how to express his exasperated and speechless feelings.
What do you mean by "just Ye Xingchen"? The elders are all half-step Celestial Immortals, top-notch experts.
Moreover, three elders attempted to deal with Ye Xingchen simultaneously, but what was the result? Ye Xingchen defeated them all in a single exchange.
Besides these three, he was the only one left in the family, and he was a Heavenly Realm cultivator.
What makes him, a mere Heavenly Realm cultivator, think he can fight to the death with someone who instantly killed three half-step Heavenly Phenomena cultivators?
But Xu Ping didn't say anything, nor did he dare to. This damn family head position was none of anyone's business; he simply didn't want to be it anymore.
Perhaps noticing Xu Ping's unpleasant expression, Xu Jinhai softened his tone slightly: "Xu Ping, I know it has been hard for you to manage the family on my behalf all these years."
"Moreover, even if someone else were in this position, they might not do as well as you. But you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, and you must understand that. In a few years, when I have fully comprehended the formless Dharma body, I will come back to take your place. At that time, I will personally revitalize the Xu family."
"Thank you, Third Uncle, I understand." Xu Ping's tone was somewhat helpless. He couldn't digest the empty promises anymore. All he wanted now was for someone to come and manage the Xu family for him. He really couldn't take it anymore.
"I came back this time to deal with Ye Xingchen. After that, I need to hurry back to cultivate. These past few days have already taken up a lot of my time. The family's affairs will still depend on you."
Xu Ping opened his mouth several times, almost losing his voice; he wanted to curse, really.
He thought that with Xu Jinhai's return this time, he wouldn't have to worry about the family's affairs anymore, but he didn't expect that he would still be the one to make this mess.
"You still have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, but don't worry, once I comprehend the formless Dharma body, I will pass it on to you first, to help you enter the celestial realm." Xu Jinhai was still making empty promises.
"Thank you, Uncle. I will do my best." Xu Ping felt bitter, but he couldn't say anything. He could only nod heavily and stand aside without saying a word.
"Ye Xingchen, you actually managed to kill three of our Xu family elders, and you held your own against three of them without being at a disadvantage." Xu Jinhai's tone was filled with endless hatred: "Good, very good. Ye, I'll go and meet you tomorrow and see if you really have three heads and six arms."
"No need to meet me tomorrow, just meet me now, I'm delivering myself to your door." Just then, a voice came from behind, followed by a loud crash as the gate of North Manor snapped open.
A figure flashed, and another person appeared in the room. It was none other than Ye Xingchen.
"Ye Xingchen?" Xu Jinhai slowly raised his head, his eyes narrowing.
"It's me. This is one of the five eminent monks of Dawuxiang Temple, Ruhai?" Ye Xingchen looked up at Xu Jinhai.
The only people who know the father's secret are the Great Wuxiang Temple, which has intricate connections with the previous dynasty's royal family. There are five eminent monks in the Great Wuxiang Temple, all of whom are experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
The Xu Jinhai before me was the head of the Xu family before he became a monk. After entering the Great Wuxiang Temple, he was given the Dharma name Ruhai and became one of the five great monks. He was a master of the second level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Although he was not a rare talent, he was still a formidable opponent in the world.
"Hehe, I dare not accept the title of 'high monk,' my Dharma name is Ruhai." Xu Jinhai slowly raised his head, his aged face and extremely cloudy eyes: "This must be Benefactor Ye?"
"I am Ye Xingchen. Master, you came out of the Great Wuxiang Temple this time just to kill me, right?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
“You committed atrocities in Jinluo City, slaughtering an entire city single-handedly, your hands stained with the blood of thirty thousand lives,” Ru Hai said calmly. “Now you have killed four elders of my Xu clan. You… have already fallen into demonic possession.”
"So?" Ye Xingchen looked up at Ru Hai.
"Amitabha." Ru Shao chanted the Buddha's name once, his eyes slightly lowered: "Heaven cherishes life, but you, benefactor, have committed many killings and are already unacceptable to the Buddha."
"So today I have come down from the mountain to recruit benefactors, but out of the Buddha's mercy, this humble monk is unwilling to commit further killings. If you sever your meridians and abandon your celestial cultivation, and from now on fall into the mortal world, I can spare you the pain of being killed."
"Bald monk, do you want me to cripple my martial arts?" Ye Xingchen sneered, "How about this, you burn down your Great Wuxiang Temple first, then kill all the descendants of your Xu family, and then I'll do as you say, how about that?"
"Amitabha..." Ru Hai slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with fierce light, clearly he was furious to the extreme. He said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are stubborn and unyielding. In that case, this humble monk will have no choice but to break my killing technique tonight."
He suddenly clasped his hands together, and at the same time, golden light burst forth from his body.
The moment he clasped his hands together, the old monk's hunched body suddenly seemed much taller.
As he continuously uttered scriptures, countless Buddhist runes spread around his body. In that instant, golden light burst forth from his entire body, as if an Arhat had descended upon the world.
“Boy, you have committed countless murders. Today, I will take you away on behalf of Buddha to prevent you from harming the world.”
The old monk's voice echoed outwards, resounding throughout the entire manor, while a huge golden Arhat appeared behind him.
A gust of wind seemed to rise from the scene. As the old monk straightened up, the golden Arhat behind him slowly clasped his hands together. At the same time, the illusory golden Arhat opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Xingchen with an indifferent expression.
The moment the Arhat opened his eyes, Xu Ping felt a buzzing in his mind. He staggered back a few steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His face turned as white as paper, and he dared not look at the golden statue again.
