The old man's expression changed slightly, and he immediately sent a secret message to Lin Hai, pretending to be respectful on the surface. He asked tentatively, "Are you a disciple of the Thousand Star Hall?"
A hint of unnaturalness flashed in the young monk's eyes. "Stop talking nonsense and get out of here, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As the young monk finished speaking, he heard a sneer from behind the old man, "Then I want to see how you can turn against me and be so ruthless."
The young monk looked up and saw Lin Hai walking slowly along the path. He was immediately startled and turned to open the door to enter the earthen temple, but Lin Hai grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and threw him aside.
Bang!
Kicking open the door of the earthen temple, Lin Hai saw a monk in a green robe hugging a stone sculpture and inhaling incense in ecstasy. Anger surged in his eyes, and without saying a word, he pointed at the void, and a flash of sword light shot out instantly.
With two soft "pu" sounds, the green-robed monk's arms fell to the ground. Luo Qingyun was slightly startled and quickly covered Xiang Sheng's eyes.
The severe pain finally woke the green-robed monk from his practice. He screamed and fell off the base of the stone statue, looking at Lin Hai in shock and anger.
"Someone from Wanjianmen?"
The green-robed monk recognized Lin Hai's clothing and became even angrier. "How dare you break your promise and attack us, the monks who serve as your disciples? Aren't you afraid that I'll report you to the Thousand Stars Palace and make you pay for it?!"
"You still dare to mention the agreement?"
Lin Hai's gaze was as cold as a knife. "The agreement only allowed you to use the incense ash for cultivation. How dare you desecrate the statue of Sheng Ji? Even if I report this to the Thousand Stars Palace, I will still be in the right."
The green-robed monk's face flushed. "This is outrageous! Sheng Ji's soul was scattered a hundred years ago, and there's no way she could be resurrected. The incense in these statues is even purer, so leaving them there is a waste..."
Phew!
A head rolled down and the sound stopped abruptly.
When the young monk outside the house saw this scene, he was so frightened that he turned around and fled at the fastest speed in his life, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The old man came back to his senses from his daze and said worriedly, "Big Brother, if you kill him, the people from the Incense Hall will definitely cause trouble for you again."
The anger in Lin Hai's eyes faded, and his cold expression softened slightly. "It's alright. I've already used the Cloud Stone to record the scene of him desecrating the statue of Ji Sheng. If anyone in the Incense Hall has the courage, please come."
The old man was relieved when he heard this, and immediately laughed and said, "Big Brother is really a genius."
"I've encountered this kind of thing so many times that I can't help but remember it."
Lin Hai smiled, then remembered that Luo Qingyun and her son were still here. He quickly wiped away the bloodstains from the corpse with his sleeves and turned to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was so anxious that I forgot about you. Did you scare me?"
Luo Qingyun glanced at the clean open space in front of the statue, then released her hands that had been covering Xiang Sheng's eyes. She shook her head and said, "Sir, please don't be like this. Life in this world is difficult, and seeing the dead is common. But killing someone is still too early for Sheng'er."
Lin Hai's expression relaxed slightly, "Madam, don't worry. When Xiao Sheng'er enters the sect, she will first focus on cultivation. We will let the brothers and sisters take her to deal with such matters when she grows up a little."
Each sect has its own way of training disciples, but except for a few demonic sects, the training methods of most sects are similar.
In comparison, the Wanjian Sect was more lenient. Luo Qingyun naturally had no reason to object and nodded gently to show her understanding.
"Big Brother, there's one more thing I forgot to mention."
The old man then added, "When we were clearing out the demons just now, the villagers were calling for Shengji to appear. I'm afraid that was when the more refined incense power was generated, attracting the monks from the Incense Hall."
The old man looked worried. "Big Brother, you killed one person today, but when we return, there will be more people coming to steal the incense."
"After I return, I will immediately go to discuss this matter with the head brother."
Lin Hai's face darkened slightly. "I can't control what happens in other places, but nothing can happen to the Shengji Temple under the jurisdiction of our Wanjian Sect."
Xiang Sheng listened to the conversation between the two silently. From beginning to end, she did not speak a word, let alone take a move.
Lin Hai was decisive and meticulous in his actions, leaving no room for error. There was no need for her to add more, but...what was the Incense Hall?
According to Lin Hai, the various sects not only knew about the incense practice, but also had some concerns. What effect would this have? And what was the connection with the Diyin Demon?
Since she woke up from reincarnation, more and more doubts have been lingering in her mind. However, although it is not easy to ask Lin Hai directly at the moment, she believes that once she goes to Wanjianmen, she will be able to sort out the situation in no time.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's mind moved, and he drove a wisp of sword intent into the stone statue, locking the pure incense within it. Then he followed Luo Qingyun and sat down on the futon, nibbling on the dry food handed to him by his mother.
