Evan Chen had heard James Li mention it before.
In the Cultivation World, deceit and betrayal were rampant, with people often resorting to any means necessary for resources.
But he never expected that even senior members of the same sect would go so far as to harm a genius disciple for a single Immortal Crystal.
“Please, Master, help me and Miss Shirley seek justice!”
Max Zhi kowtowed three more times.
Evan pondered for a moment and said, “If I take action, I can destroy the Brahma Sound Sect with a single finger. However, the demons in your heart are deep. If you don’t resolve them, you will surely die within ten days. Therefore, this hatred must be avenged by your own hands to be truly resolved.”
“Master…”
Hearing this, Monk Max Zhi’s lips curled into a bitter smile.
Of course, he wanted to kill those greedy bastards himself and seek justice for himself and Shirley!
But even though his power had surged to the late Body Fusion stage after falling into demonic cultivation, he was still no match for those few.
Moreover, the Brahma Sound Sect had also summoned experts from other sects to besiege him. He was determined to kill the enemies but lacked the strength to turn the tide.
Evan Chen understood this and said calmly, “You needn’t worry. I will accompany you and be your support. If anyone from other sects dares to interfere, I will destroy them. Additionally, I will bestow upon you an Immortal Artifact, enough to help you annihilate those treacherous monks.”
With that, Evan took out a scythe from his Storage Bag.
The moment the scythe floated out, the ethereal Immortal Light pierced through the gray mist, shooting straight into the sky.
On the outskirts of the Forbidden Zone, experts from the three major sects were all shocked by this Immortal Radiance.
They speculated that a great treasure had appeared in the Forbidden Zone.
Each one of them was eager to enter the Forbidden Zone to seize the treasure.
Inside the Forbidden Zone.
Although Max Zhi was blind, his spiritual sense was still intact.
Sensing the suffocating Immortal Qi, Max Zhi’s blood boiled with excitement.
He slowly extended his palm, and the scythe fell into his hand. The fierce demonic aura within him was instantly suppressed by the Immortal Qi, even calming his mind significantly.
An Immortal Artifact!
It truly was an Immortal Artifact!
Max Zhi’s excitement was palpable!
Evan Chen had spent dozens of Immortal Crystals on this scythe in the Immortal World, making it incredibly precious to those in the Cultivation World!
In the entire Islet Prefecture, the Three Sects and Eighteen Clans had stood for thousands of years, and no sect had the fortune to obtain an Immortal Artifact!
Even the strongest Shining Moon Sect only had a few fragments of Immortal Artifacts as their sect’s treasures.
“Thank you, Master, for your grace. I will repay you with my life!”
From this moment on, Max Zhi no longer referred to himself as “junior” or “little monk,” signifying his complete break from Buddhism in his heart.
“No need for more words. First, recognize the scythe as your master with a drop of blood. Once this matter is settled, I have more opportunities to bestow upon you,” Evan said calmly.
“Yes, Master!”
Max Zhi didn’t know how to express his gratitude in words. He was only determined to follow the master’s orders from now on!
“A monk has entered. Go handle it.”
Evan and Max Zhi flew towards the edge of the Forbidden Zone.
In just a few breaths, they encountered the experts who had entered from outside.
“Amitabha, you wretched demon, you are indeed here.”
The monk who spoke first was named Mengyi, one of the seven monks who had captured Shirley that day, at the peak of the Body Fusion stage.
“Hahaha.”
Max Zhi laughed, his laughter maniacal and sinister.
“You treacherous monk dare to come here. Today, if I don’t tear you to pieces, I won’t be able to quell the hatred in my heart!”
“Bold scoundrel!”
Before Mengyi could speak, the other sect experts beside him were already boiling with killing intent, shouting loudly.
“You, a disciple of Buddhism, have colluded with demons, abandoned Buddhism for demonic cultivation, and harmed our sect disciples. Today, we have come to act on behalf of the heavens. How dare you speak such arrogant words!”
Hearing this, Max Zhi coldly sneered, “You vermin, you condone your disciples’ crimes of rape and plunder. I wish I could kill them all!”
Indeed, even though Max Zhi had fallen into demonic cultivation during this time, he had not killed any innocents. He only killed those who committed heinous crimes.
“Amitabha, you are deeply entrenched in demonic nature, with no path of return. Out of our shared sect, I will send you on your way and help you escape the suffering of the demonic path.”
With that, Mengyi summoned a staff, his figure soaring into the air, striking towards Max Zhi.
Max Zhi, shrouded in black mist and holding the scythe, stood like a grim reaper from hell.
“Prepare to die!”
Boom!
Mengyi struck with all his might, golden light bursting forth, the powerful shockwave forcing everyone behind him to use their skills to resist.
At the peak of the Body Fusion stage, Mengyi was undoubtedly a top expert in Islet Prefecture!
“Kill!”
Max Zhi roared ferociously, slashing forward with the scythe.
Immortal Radiance burst forth, a crescent-shaped attack slashing out.
In the next moment!
The staff broke, and Mengyi’s body was cut into two, falling from the sky.
One slash, ending a peak Body Fusion stage expert!
This was the power of an Immortal Artifact!
“An Immortal Artifact, this demon actually has an Immortal Artifact!”
Everyone’s hearts were in turmoil, filled with terror!
“Who else wants to die?”
Max Zhi calmly looked at everyone ahead, speaking softly.
Who dared to step forward!
A peak Body Fusion stage expert was killed with one slash. Who would dare to step forward unless they were tired of living!
“I heard that Monk Max Zhi was a rare talent in Buddhism for a thousand years. How did he fall into demonic cultivation? There must be more to this.”
“Indeed, we cannot judge right from wrong based solely on Mengyi’s words. We were too foolish.”
“Everyone’s analysis makes sense. On behalf of the Taihao Immortal Clan, I promise to find out the truth and seek justice for Monk Max Zhi. For now, we shall take our leave.”
…
Dozens of experts in the Tribulation Crossing and Body Fusion stages all expressed their stance, claiming Max Zhi was wronged and promising to seek justice for him in the future.
In no time, they scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.
“Why not kill them all?”
Evan Chen stepped out from the shadow behind Max Zhi.
“Master, if we kill them, the Shining Moon Sect might intervene, so I let these fence-sitters go.”
The Shining Moon Sect was the strongest among the Three Sects and Eighteen Clans in Islet Prefecture, claiming to be the leader of the righteous path, with a Land Immortal Ancestor in their ranks. Max Zhi feared that killing too many experts would prompt the Shining Moon Sect to intervene, causing more conflict.
“Next time, don’t worry so much. Kill when you must,” Evan said calmly.
“Yes, I understand, Master,” Max Zhi replied respectfully.
Then, the two of them left the Forbidden Zone, walking on air.
In no time, they arrived above the Brahma Sound Sect.
“Mengxu, Mengjing, Menggu… come forth and meet your death.”
This roar caused all five thousand members of the Brahma Sound Sect to look up in terror at the two figures in the sky.
“It’s him, Max Zhi is back!”
In front of the main hall, dozens of elders in the Body Fusion stage were on high alert, their expressions solemn.
“Quickly report to the Ancestor!”
Among them, the monks who had captured Shirley that day hurried towards the “True Thunder Tower” where the monsters were suppressed.
Inside the tower.
Each floor of the main hall was lined with many iron cages, each containing a monster.
Most of these monsters were rotting and barely breathing.
At the top of the True Thunder Tower.
Inside the room, there was a pool of water, and a giant toad lay in the pool.
Above the toad, a young woman with numerous wounds hung suspended, her blood dripping from her arm wounds into the toad’s mouth.
“Ancestor, it’s bad. Max Zhi, who has fallen into demonic cultivation, has returned.”
