The president of the Monster Association's eyes suddenly turned cold. It seemed that things were not going to go well today, and it might be a tough battle.
Linghu Lan smiled slightly and said to Ying Hua, word by word, "Sect Master Ying, as the lover of the Palace Master of Shenci Palace and a descendant of Mengling Island, what's wrong with me returning to my own home? Sect Master Ying keeps saying you're avenging Junior Sister Ji, yet you're in such a hurry to kill Junior Sister Ji's descendants. Is it because you killed Junior Sister Ji that you're in such a hurry to kill me?"
Yinghua was visibly startled, his violent aura momentarily halting. He stared at Linghu Lan with disbelief, his eyes revealing a mixture of recollection and confusion. Then, his eyes darkened, as if he had made up his mind, and he shouted, "Deceptive words! Bewitch! The masses!"
The surrounding air suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
They came to uphold justice for Dream Spirit Island, and slaying demons and monsters is naturally a given. But if the target is a descendant of Dream Spirit Island, then upholding justice is a joke, especially since the other party claims to be the lover of the Palace Master of Divine Compassion Palace? When did the Palace Master of Divine Compassion Palace get married?
This is truly unbelievable!
Before anyone could think of what to do next, Yinghua had already attacked Linghu Lan.
Everyone was startled: "..."
Three monks, Taoists, and nuns at the sixth-rank Spirit Venerable level immediately flew out from the righteous crowd, and together with the president of the Demon Association, they protected Linghu Lan and forcefully withstood Yinghua's fatal blow, which was accompanied by a terrifying aura.
The four of them coughed up blood and flew backward, falling onto the restrictions of Dream Spirit Island before finally landing.
The senior monk was in better condition. He coughed, stood up, clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect to the arrogant Ying Hua, and said, "Sect Leader Ying, this matter has not yet been investigated. Please hold your hand and let me ask this young lady for clarification before I apologize to you."
The president of the Demon Association coughed up a mouthful of blood and stood up, panting. Linghu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and fed him a few pills.
He swallowed the pill, caught his breath, and said to Linghu Lan, "This great monk is Master Zhineng of Qianfo Temple. He used to often take on disciples of my Demon Association. I didn't expect him to be willing to lend a helping hand this time."
Linghu Lan nodded and said in a low voice, "It is I who have implicated you. Thank you!"
“Master, you are exaggerating. I know you must have a way to deal with him, but your fourth-grade cultivation is still a bit lacking. It might not be easy for you to get close to him.”
Linghu Lan looked at Ying Hua. She could indeed place the Thunderstorm Talisman on Ying Hua, but Ying Hua's aura was too strong. It was as if there was a barrier around him, and her talisman could not get close unless someone broke through that barrier.
"You rest here, I'll go check on the other two Taoist priests and the nun."
Linghu Lan looked at the distant sky, but she didn't see Shenji anywhere.
She sighed silently, then turned and walked over to the Taoist priest and nun, feeding them some pills. The two swallowed them with surprise and immediately sat cross-legged to practice their internal energy.
Yinghua glanced at Linghu Lan with a complicated expression, then her eyes turned deep and dark as she said coldly, "Master Zhineng, I have already investigated this matter thoroughly. You stopped me based solely on this demoness's one-sided story. When did Thousand Buddha Temple join forces with demons? Since Master Zhineng is unwilling to help, please step aside and let me take revenge myself, so as not to accidentally injure Master Zhineng and damage the harmony between Thousand Shadows Sect and Thousand Buddha Temple."
