Chapter 62
It was clear that the grand ceremony had reached an important stage before the Temple of Great Emptiness came.
Lu Zhou looked around his surroundings but could not see Zhao Yue. However, he was certain Zhao Yue was on the holy altar since the monks of the Temple of Great Emptiness, the Righteous Sect, Clarity Sect, and the Fiend Temple were here.
A hint of excitement could be seen on Little Yuan’er’s face at this moment. She liked the clamor. She looked around fearlessly.
When Lu Zhou was still surveying his surroundings, a person walked up to him. “Old Mister, you should take a few steps back.”
“Jiang Aijian?” Lu Zhou was rendered speechless. It seemed like the rumor about this person’s pathological obsession with swords was true. However, for some who loved his life equally as much, it was unexpected that he would come to the holy altar.
Jiang Aijian glanced at the cultivators on the holy altar plaza who had a sour expression on their faces before he said, “Old Mister, if it weren’t for your sword, I wouldn’t come to this nonsensical place.”
Lu Zhou’s expression was calm, and he did not deign to reply to Jiang Aijian. He looked at Kong Xuan, the monk, who had descended on the center of the plaza.
Jiang Aijian said in a hushed tone, “You should leave now while you still have a chance to do so…”
“Wretched monk! You’re refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!” The Third Seat of the Fiend Temple waved his arms, and several black-robed cultivators leaped out from behind him onto the plaza.
Kong Xuan stood calmly with his right hand outstretched when faced with the hostile newcomers. He did not seem anxious, and his manner was neither servile nor overbearing.
“Arhat Golden Body.” His 20-feet Golden Body emitted a vast energy as his kasaya fluttered in the air.
Jiang Aijian was shocked when he saw this. “Arhat Golden Body is on par with a Nascent Divinity Tribulation Realm’s two-leaf avatar. This bald donkey isn’t your average monk… Old Mister, quickly move to the back! The Fiend Temple has clearly come prepared. If that bald donkey uses a zen mark, you’ll certainly be affected since you’re only at the Sense Condensing Realm!” As he spoke, he tugged on Lu Zhou’s arm to pull Lu Zhou to the back.
