You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 401 Xuankong’s Defense.

After saying this, he showed no sign of leaving.

So Xuan Kong couldn't help but frown and asked, "What else is there? Why don't you just say it directly."

When the disciple heard this, he quickly put his hands together and replied respectfully: "Holy Lord, I want to ask if you still remember a person named Liu Yi?"

"Liu Yi?"

Xuan Kong repeated the name and suddenly opened his eyes. A strange look appeared on his originally calm face. "But is he Liu Yuntian's man? The one who worked at the Six Gates before?"

After receiving an affirmative answer from his disciple, Xuankong fell into deep thought.

After a while, the disciple continued, "According to my recent investigation, Liu Yi actually worked with many independent cultivators in the secret realm, and even openly claimed that he was an independent cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Xuankong nodded slightly, slowly took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and then gently twirled them a few times with his hands.

At this moment, he seemed to have remembered something important and muttered to himself: "A casual cultivator..."

Although the voice was soft, it was full of doubt and thought.

However, in an instant, the Buddhist beads that were spinning in Xuankong's hand suddenly stopped.

His face instantly turned extremely ugly, as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene.

Then, he shouted, "Has our Buddhist sect ever accepted independent practitioners?!"

The disciple was startled by Xuankong's sudden questioning and was at a loss for a moment.

But soon, he calmed down, thought carefully, and shook his head and replied: "My Lord, because the eight precepts of my Buddhist sect are very strict, unless they are truly disillusioned with the world and have no distracting thoughts, almost no one is willing to devote themselves to my Buddhist sect."

"So, as far as I know, there has never been a wandering cultivator coming to convert to Buddhism in this holy land of ours."

"No!"

Xuan Kong didn't wait for his disciple to finish speaking, and immediately waved his hands, eagerly explaining, "What I'm talking about is not limited to the Holy Land!"

"It's the temples scattered all over the place! Are there any independent cultivators going there to seek refuge?"

At this moment, Xuankong's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, because he vaguely felt that behind this seemingly insignificant matter, there might be a huge conspiracy hidden.

"This……"

Although the major Buddhist temples are also considered to be immortal sects, they mostly rely on generous donations from pilgrims for their survival and development.

Unless they encounter matters involving major interests, these temples usually do not easily get involved in disputes and plundering between various forces.

Because of this, all forces have opened their arms to Buddhism and welcomed its entry.

However, this situation also has certain disadvantages.

You know, there are a large number of Buddhist temples, almost covering the entire vast Qiyang Continent.

With so many temples, even someone as powerful as Xuankong would find it difficult to pay attention to all of them, let alone this ordinary disciple in front of him.

After a brief thought and hesitation, the disciple looked at Xuan Kong with difficulty, and said in a slightly awkward tone: "Holy Lord, how about I go to each temple in person..."

Before he could finish his words, Xuan Kong interrupted him and said, "Forget it, there's no need for you to go there."

Then, Xuan Kong paused for a moment, and then continued, "Let Yuan Sheng do this for me!"

After saying that, he gently stroked his forehead with his hand, his face showing full of irritability, as if he was troubled by many worries.

After a moment of silence, Xuankong spoke again and ordered: "Go and tell Yuan Sheng quickly, and have him convey my order to all the abbots of the temples."

"From now on, our Buddhist sect will not accept any independent practitioners. As for those independent practitioners who have been accepted as disciples recently, we must find a suitable excuse to expel them all!"

"what?"

The disciple's face was filled with astonishment. It was obvious that he found it very difficult to understand what Xuan Kong said. He quickly advised, "Holy Lord! If you really act in this way, the majesty that our Buddhist sect has established for thousands of years will probably be gone! By then, won't we become a laughing stock for the world to laugh at?!"

However, facing the disciple's earnest advice, Xuan Kong just glanced at him with disdain.

A cold snort came out of his nose: "Majesty? Humph, when your life is at risk, what's the use of so-called majesty?!"

Hearing this, the disciple's eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief, and even his hands, which were originally clasped together, sank slightly at this moment.

His lips trembled and he stammered, "Holy Lord, how could you say such a thing?"

"During the earth-shattering war between the Wuji Saint Lord and the King of Northern Frontier, our Holy Land was able to stay out of it and keep itself safe. How could it end up like this?!"

After hearing this, Xuankong also sighed helplessly.

In fact, he had a very deep understanding of Liu Yuntian - he must not just focus on him, but also need to understand what changes have taken place in the overall situation.

He knew very well that Liu Yun was naturally calm and steady, and what he was best at was using stillness to overcome movement.

On weekdays, he always quietly consolidates his own strength, while carefully planning and accumulating strength in the dark.

When the situation changes slightly, or the enemy accidentally reveals a flaw, he will pounce on the opponent like a long-hungry wolf and deal a fatal blow.

However, if the other party refuses to reveal any flaws, he will quietly use some means and tricks in secret, trying his best to lure you into exposing your weaknesses or mistakes.

He acts in secret and never puts things on the table to solve problems openly.

At this time, Xuankong's gaze slowly moved from the room to the window. His eyes were a little vague, as if his thoughts had already drifted far away.

He then muttered to himself, "No one can stay out of this storm... The reason why we Buddhists can still barely survive in the world is only because we still have some value to him..."

After a pause, Xuan Kong's tone became heavier: "According to my guess, I'm afraid he has already begun to extend his evil hands to those independent cultivators..."

"With the powerful strength he possesses now, who in this world can be his real opponent?"

Master Xuankong shook his head slightly, sighed and answered himself: "As for those independent cultivators, they don't have much to covet. But if you have to delve into the reason, then he must want to completely subvert the world!"
