Before Qi Wenyao could finish speaking, he was silenced by Kong Wu's blood-red pupils.
That's strange.
Despite having a compassionate appearance, he dared not even make the most basic jokes to Kong Wusheng during their time together.
Now that Sheng Ning and the others were beside him, the tension in his heart eased, and he blurted out a few extra words.
Not daring to meet the void's gaze, Qi Wenyao shut his mouth and raised his hand to scratch his hair.
"Because Master Qi has the ability to deal with the crisis."
A soft voice sounded in my ear.
Qi Wenyao suddenly raised his head and saw the serious expression in Kong Wu's bloodshot eyes. His expression instantly froze.
He chuckled and mumbled, "Is that so? Master, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."
Kong Wu nodded slightly, walked past him, and headed towards Sheng Ning.
Taking in so many demon cultivators and demon beasts is no simple matter.
Back when he was on the mainland, Kong Wu never revealed his cultivation level.
No one knows the extent of his cultivation.
However, since he was able to kill the Lotus Sect Master, Kong Wu's cultivation level must be strong, not weak.
Now that he has opened his spiritual space, Sheng Ning and the others' eyes widened instantly.
Even Xie Wenxuan, who had been tied to the tree for a long time and had become withdrawn due to the binding, couldn't help but open his mouth into an 'O' shape.
Qu Zhengqing subconsciously raised his hand to rub his eyes, thinking he had misread it.
In contrast, Sheng Ning and the others maintained their usual expressions even after Kong Wu revealed his cultivation level, as if they had known about it all along.
Sheng Ning, who was observing how Kong Wu was going to take so many demon cultivators and demon beasts into his divine consciousness space, turned around when his sleeve was tugged.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, what's wrong?"
Xie Wenxuan glanced at Kong Wu with a complicated expression, then whispered to her, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, why aren't you surprised at all?"
A Nascent Soul Realm!
It should be noted that even the Taixu Sect, the top of the four major sects, does not have a single elder whose cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Kong Wu was merely a Buddhist cultivator, yet he had actually reached the Nascent Soul Realm, specifically the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning turned around and glanced at Kong Wu. When she looked back, her gaze towards Xie Wenxuan held a complex expression.
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'There are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens', Fellow Daoist Xie?"
"No, that's not what I meant," Xie Wenxuan said anxiously. "What I meant was, Kong Wu killed so many people..."
There are many kinds of cultivation methods used by heretical practitioners.
What cultivators find most unacceptable is killing people and absorbing their spiritual energy.
It is no secret that Kongwu, as a Buddhist practitioner, would kill living beings.
Throughout the continent, many cultivators feared him not because his cultivation was unfathomable.
More importantly, it was because he killed the sect leader of the Lotus Flower Sect, as well as many human cultivators and evil demon cultivators.
Xie Wenxuan was also wary of Kong Wu, but since the two had no prior interaction, he wasn't overly wary of him.
Now, Kong Wu was standing not far from him. The moment Kong Wu's cultivation at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage was revealed, he was so frightened that his head almost fell off.
Sheng Ning understood the deeper meaning in his words.
She looked up and gazed deeply at the person before her, then parted her lips slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, you should know that there is no such thing as completely right or completely wrong in this world."
"Everyone has their own explanation and their own conclusion about everything in the world."
"No one stipulates that Buddhist practitioners cannot eat meat or drink alcohol, or cannot argue about right and wrong. They simply guide people toward the highest good."
"Is Fellow Daoist Xie's idea necessarily correct?"
Her voice wasn't very loud, but everyone present, whether cultivators or demon cultivators, was highly skilled.
Upon hearing the conversation between Sheng Ning and Xie Wenxuan, everyone immediately looked up at the two of them.
Xie Wenxuan blushed and his neck turned red under everyone's gaze. He looked down at the person in front of him with a conflicted look in his eyes. "That's not what I meant."
Sheng Ning raised her hand and patted his shoulder, a slight smile playing on her lips. "If you can't even manage your own thoughts, then don't bother discussing the rights and wrongs of others."
"This world is inherently diverse, especially the human heart, which is the most unpredictable. If the pillar of heaven is about to collapse, protecting yourself and those around you is the most important thing."
After Sheng Ning finished speaking, she turned her head and continued to look at Kong Wu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she found that the demon cultivators and demon beasts in front of her had all disappeared.
Kongwu stood to the side, his eyes lowered, his face still bearing that compassionate expression.
Sheng Ning, who was still thinking of learning from him: ......
Xie Wenxuan was still laughing at the deeper meaning behind her words when he saw her turn around and glare at him again.
Xie Wenxuan, who hadn't said a word this time, asked, "...What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Sheng?"
Sheng Ning shook her head, walked over to Kong Wu and looked him up and down. "Master Kong Wu, are you alright?"
Kong Wu glanced at her, his blood-red pupils reflecting an indifferent expression. "Thank you for your concern, Benefactor Sheng. This humble monk is unharmed."
Sheng Ning frowned and clicked her tongue softly.
She took a small step forward and spoke to him in a low voice.
"When we return to the mainland, could you tell me again how you managed to bring so many demon cultivators and demon beasts into your divine consciousness space?"
She originally wanted to ask him if he felt overwhelmed by taking in so many demon cultivators and demon beasts.
Then he felt that what he said might not be appropriate, so he swallowed his words back.
Kong Wuting looked at her deeply with his blood-red eyes, "Benefactor Sheng is intelligent and has no need for this humble monk's instruction."
What's the meaning?
Sheng Ning's already furrowed brows deepened.
What he meant was that even if he hadn't come today, she could have still managed to collect so many demon cultivators and beasts into her divine sense space.
Sheng Ning was filled with questions when she felt a large hand gently pat her head. She subconsciously looked up and saw Lu Qing'an standing next to her.
Her worried expression instantly brightened. "Second Senior Brother."
Lu Qingan looked down at his junior sister and smiled, "No matter how things went, Aning, you've already gotten the best result."
"The totem is still waiting for us, aren't we leaving?"
Totems are something we need to find.
Upon hearing the word "totem," Qi Wenyao immediately raised his hand and said, "Master Kongwu and I accidentally fell into this place while searching for the totem."
"But thanks to that big pit, otherwise Master Kongwu and I would have been going around in circles inside and almost suffocated."
With his hands clasped together, Kong Wu chanted a Buddhist prayer, "Only you, Benefactor Qi, are truly insane."
Qi Wenyao, who had been exposed, seemed not to hear the empty sabotage.
He pointed to the black hole that had been torn open above his head, his features contorting for a moment. "You've been here for a long time, haven't you?"
"You probably don't know that things are in complete chaos up there, with fighting raging everywhere."
“Master Kongwu even recited the Rebirth Mantra for those dead cultivators. These people will stop at nothing for some rare and precious treasures.”
