Seeing that all the disciples had been saved, Ling Yao finally felt relieved.
Immediately, Huang Ling'er used her hidden power to take all these people away.
"Many thanks to the benefactor for his kindness. This humble monk will take his leave now."
"Respectfully bidding farewell to Fairy Huang!"
Gu Yuetang smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.
The other cultivators also clasped their fists and shouted in unison:
"Respectfully seeing off Benefactor Huang!"
Watching Huang Ling'er's departing figure, Gu Yuetang's face immediately darkened.
"Gu Chuan, go and contact Huang Xianzi and see if you can get in touch with the Buddhist sect."
Continue investigating Lin Muyao's whereabouts; I'm certain she was present today!
"clear!"
...
Ling Yun and his group arrived outside the Ancient Emperor City and released three million cultivators from beyond the realm with a wave of their hand.
"Thank you so much, fairy, for saving my life!"
"Sigh~ I swear I will never come to the ancient civilization again in my life. What did we do wrong? We were captured as soon as we landed and they want to kill us!"
"Exactly, I've never seen such a dark country!"
"..."
The cultivators were furious; they had only come to the ancient domain for sightseeing, but they had almost lost their lives here.
Huang Ling'er smiled and said:
"Let's go back!"
"May we meet again, Fairy Huang!"
The group of cultivators bowed deeply and left the ancient domain.
Ling Yun and his group found a manor in the ancient imperial city and settled down.
Upon entering the manor, thousands of guards were hidden around, monitoring everything.
This shows how oppressive the rule of ancient civilizations was.
Ling Yun waved his hand to seal off the manor. The group entered the main hall, where Huang Ling'er looked at Ling Yun:
"Should we let the registered disciples out to see Little Yao?"
Ling Yun extended his divine sense into Huang Ling'er's sleeve universe, scanning the primordial spirit of each person.
Finding no trace of them being turned by Gu Yuetang, he nodded.
Huang Ling'er released the 708 registered disciples.
They were still in human form, their eyes without eyelids were terrifying and pitiful.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! It's all my fault that you've been dragged into this!"
Ling Yao couldn't help but shed tears as she walked up to her disciples.
The moment they saw Ling Yao, the disciples' eyes widened and they began to sob.
"Master! Is it really you?!"
"Master, we missed you so much! You're finally back!"
"Waaah... I knew Master wouldn't die, she would definitely come to save us!"
"..."
Qiongqi unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, instantly restoring their bodies.
"Greetings, Master!"
They could finally perform the apprenticeship ceremony.
Ling Yao wiped away her tears and said with a smile:
"It's good that you're alive! It's all Master's fault for letting you down."
After a pause, Ling Yao asked cautiously:
"Do you still wish to be my disciples?"
The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, then simultaneously knelt down:
"We swear to follow our master to the death!"
Ling Yao nodded with satisfaction, then said seriously:
"From this day forward, you are no longer my nominal disciples, but have become my formal disciples."
The apprenticeship ceremony can be held now!
The myriad realms are very strict about accepting disciples; a formal apprenticeship ceremony is required.
Upon hearing this, the disciples wept with joy, for they longed to become Lin Jiandi's official disciples.
At that moment, they felt that all their efforts had been worthwhile.
Immediately afterwards, Abao, Lingshan, and the others led their disciples to bathe and change clothes, and then performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Ling Yao pulled Huang Shang aside and introduced them:
"She is your senior sister, Huang Shang!"
"Greetings, Senior Sister!"
The disciples clasped their hands in a salute.
Huang Shang felt a little shy, suddenly becoming the senior sister.
Just then, a report came from outside the door:
"Sir, Master Gu invites Fairy Huang to his residence as a guest!"
"Hmm?" The Golden Lion Emperor immediately refused: "I'm not going!"
Huang Ling'er waved her hand and said:
"It's alright, they probably want to win over the Buddhist community!"
Ling Yun laughed:
"That's for sure. So go and ask for a temple, which will be perfect for Xiao Yao to use for cultivation!"
"good!"
Immediately afterwards, Huang Ling'er left the manor and headed to the Gu Chuan Dojo.
As expected, Furukawa conveyed Kogetsudo's message that he wanted to establish friendly relations with the Buddhist community.
Huang Ling'er readily agreed and requested a prime location with excellent feng shui to serve as a temple.
Furukawa immediately agreed.
In just half a month, a luxurious temple was built on the summit of Gulong Mountain outside the ancient imperial city.
Named Jinshi Temple, on the day of its opening, Gu Yuetang personally came to celebrate in a grand manner.
"Congratulations to Abbot Huang on establishing the first Buddhist temple in ancient civilization."
To be honest, I am devoted to Buddhism and Taoism, and I have always taken it upon myself to practice medicine and help all sentient beings.
I have always possessed a pure and compassionate heart.
Gu Yuetang said with utmost seriousness, looking kind and gentle like an old monk.
If Huang Ling'er hadn't already known his true colors, she would have actually believed him!
Huang Ling'er said with a forced smile:
"At first glance, the ancient benefactor is a compassionate and virtuous person. If I were to return to the Buddhist universe, I would report the ancient benefactor's good deeds and kind heart to all the Buddhas!"
Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed deep in Gu Yuetang's eyes. As long as he could establish a connection with the Buddhist community, he would no longer need to fear Lin Muyao's revenge.
He couldn't help but think that Huang Ling'er was rather naive, believing him so easily.
Gu Yuetang said solemnly:
"Whether or not I report to you Buddhist masters is irrelevant. I only hope that Abbot Huang can spread Buddhism throughout the ancient civilization."
If possible, could you perhaps take me to meet the true Buddha of Buddhism? I have long admired him.
Huang Ling'er sneered inwardly and said meaningfully:
