Suddenly, the Seven Treasures Robe emitted a dazzling golden light, and the seven precious stones detached from the robe, shooting off in all directions. The seven precious stones pierced through the golden dragon's body, causing the golden light that composed the dragon's body to become chaotic.
Shi Ning frowned, and cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead.
After a while, Shi Ning shook his head and sighed softly, "A divine artifact is indeed a divine artifact..."
The Seven Treasures Kasaya was originally a divine artifact. Logically speaking, even with Shi Chan's cultivation level, he wouldn't be able to unleash its full power. However, strangely enough, since Shi Chan obtained it, the kasaya has become extremely close to him, even to the point that it seems to be in sync with his mind. As a result, Shi Chan uses the Seven Treasures Kasaya as easily as using his own arm.
So the current situation is that the disciples of Bodhi Temple are blocking the Seven Treasures Kasaya commanded by Shi Chan, which is actually blocking the power of the ancient artifact. How can they stop it?
After a long while, Shi Ning finally gave up. He opened his hand and waved towards the direction of the golden dragon. The golden dragon then released the Seven Treasures Kasaya and swiftly flew into his hand, transforming back into the form of the Zen staff.
The seven precious stones returned to the robe, and the robe, now free, flew rapidly into the sky and headed down the mountain.
Finally, a few elders of the Zhi generation, who had been startled by the noise, came out of their meditation rooms and arrived at the place, but it was already too late.
The disciples of Bodhi Temple were greatly annoyed. As soon as they landed, they all glared angrily at Shi Chan.
Zen Master remained kneeling on the ground, motionless.
Several disciples from the temple approached Shi Ning, whose face was ashen, and asked him in a jumbled manner whether he was going to chase after the fox demon. Shi Ning's eyes flickered, and as if he had thought of something, he shook his head and stopped them. Then he called over a young monk and whispered instructions in the young monk's ear.
Shi Ning's voice was extremely low, and no one present could understand what he was saying; they could only see the little monk nodding repeatedly. After Shi Ning finished speaking, the little monk soared into the sky, chasing after the golden light of the seven-jeweled kasaya.
--
The seven-jeweled kasaya streaked through the air with a dazzling light, and in a short moment, it landed outside the mountain with the glass.
After landing on the ground, the kasaya released the glass and transformed into a golden light, flying away up the mountain.
After a while of dizziness, Liuli's feet finally touched the ground. Then, a flash of golden light disappeared in front of her. Liuli, still dizzy, stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ugh..." Liuli rolled around on the ground, finally lying on her back with her eyes closed, her little face scrunched up, and she said in pain, "I'm so dizzy..."
"Ugh!" Liuli felt dizzy and her stomach was churning. She sat up and dry heaved, but nothing came out.
After retching for a while, Liuli finally felt a little better. She sat up, still in pain, her hands covering her head. But this time, she was able to think of some things. She closed her eyes, her mind constantly replaying the words Shichan had said not long ago.
“Young lady, I protected you with all my might today, not only because you are innocent, but also to repay the many times you have saved my life… Let us part ways here. After you escape, please do not come looking for me again. Our karmic ties must be severed. From now on, I only wish to have no further connection with you. Please, young lady, let me go…”
"Miss, you must not come back after you go down the mountain. I beg you, please, you absolutely must not come back!"
"If you're willing to let this humble monk go, then don't come back..."
"..."
Her brows furrowed tightly, and a phrase from Zen Buddhism began to echo repeatedly in her mind—
"If you, young lady, are willing to spare this humble monk..."
"If you, young lady, are willing to spare this humble monk..."
"If you, young lady, are willing to spare this humble monk..."
"If you're willing, you can spare this humble monk..."
Tears welled in Jing Yingying's eyes, which were tightly closed, and quickly gathered into tears before falling. She spoke softly, her voice choked with emotion, "Alright, little monk, I'll let you go..."
She curled up in a ball, hugging her knees, hiding her tear-streaked face, but her sobbing continued, making one's heart ache.
The cold moon in the sky silently reflected Liuli's figure, which moved slowly. In the blink of an eye, it was already past midnight.
It was quite strange that Liuli had stayed at the foot of the mountain for such a long time without any disciples of Bodhi Temple coming to hunt her down.
After a long while, Liuli silently stood up, tears still streaming down her face, sobbing uncontrollably. She looked up for one last time at the Bodhi Temple under the night sky, then turned around, intending to return to the Xuan Tie Mine, but suddenly remembered that the Bodhi Temple was located within Yuanzhou. Since there was still some time before dawn, she might as well go back to Huyuan first.
Thinking this, she soared into the sky and flew southwest. It was already evening, and as Liuli flew swiftly forward, she did not notice that a faint golden light was following her from afar.
Soon, Liuli flew over Fox Plains, where all the nine-tailed foxes were fast asleep, lying in the soft grass. Liuli didn't need to distinguish them at all and landed familiarly on a low hill.
Hearing the sound of something cutting through the air, the six-tailed white fox Sakura opened her eyes warily and saw Ruri quickly descending, transforming into a white fox and snuggling up beside her.
Sakura looked closely and exclaimed with delight, "Liuli?"
“Grandmother…” Liuli nestled close to Yingmo, rubbing her face with her little head, and said coquettishly, “Grandmother, Liuli missed you so much.”
Upon seeing Sakura, Ruri temporarily put her sadness aside and felt a little happier.
After a brief moment of joy, Sakura keenly sensed that something was wrong with Ruri's aura. She turned her head and saw the six fox tails trailing behind Ruri, exclaiming in surprise, "Ruri, you're already a six-tailed fox?!"
"Yes." Liuli wagged her tail proudly and said, "I'm a six-tailed fox now, Grandmother, aren't I amazing?"
Sakura's eyes were full of smiles as she looked at Liuli gently and said softly, "Impressive, truly impressive. It seems that being by the Demon Lord's side isn't such a bad thing after all. Tell your grandmother quickly what benefits you've received that allowed you to develop a fox tail ahead of schedule?"
Liuli shook her head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I ate an immortal fruit with Li Molin ten years ago, and I've also eaten a lot of pills made by the demons from monks' relics and Taoists' golden cores and nascent souls over the years. Not long ago, I ate two imitation immortal pills made by the demons."
Sakura smiled as she looked at Liuli's smug expression and shook her head, saying, "It seems the Demon Clan's young master treats you well."
“Indeed.” Liuli nodded and said, “Although Li Molin is a bit of a scoundrel, he’s been pretty good to me.”
Sakura rested her head on her two front paws, tilted her head to look at Ruri with a smile, about to speak, but suddenly remembered something. Her expression changed, and she asked in surprise, "When you grew your fox tail, were there any monks present?"
