Chapter 479: Chapter 273: The Demon Falls, Another Demon Soul Obtained!

The news about the Buddha Country Golden Lotus had reached Su Ping, passed on by Monk Kong Jue.

It was said that the Great Golden Light Temple would have its young incarnation personally escort it over.

Su Ping had thought that this would ensure the deal.

He had even previously arranged Sister Teresa’s schedule to coincide with the strengthening of her spiritual body, allowing the Buddha Country Golden Lotus to mature and produce seeds.

Such a marvel capable of creating its own space — how could one or two be enough for Su Ping’s ambition?

Yet, what was supposed to go smoothly met with unexpected complications.

After handling significant matters on the Southern Desolate Islands, he had sent a group of cultivators into the Blood God Secret Realm.

Just as Su Ping was planning to return to Pot Cave Heaven to consume herbs and replenish the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense to meet the demands of the black jade pendant,

he suddenly received news that Monk Kong Jue of the Great Golden Light Temple urgently requested an audience.

Su Ping allowed him into his study for a private meeting.

Then he saw Monk Kong Jue quickly enter the study and immediately produced a string of prayer beads.

Accompanied by a chant of “Amitabha,” the prayer beads emitted golden light, creating no less than twelve layers of barriers around them.

After ensuring that no one could spy or listen in without breaking the barrier,

Monk Kong Jue delivered shocking news to Su Ping.

The young host escorting the Buddha Country Golden Lotus, despite having passed through the Ten Thousand Mountains, considered a safe zone, and was just nearing the Golden Character Domain,

had encountered an ambush and was currently trapped in a snare.

The situation was dire, with not only high-ranked monks from the Great Golden Light Temple already in action,

but also Monk Kong Jue, upon receiving the news per instructions, came seeking an audience with the Blood God Ancestor,

hoping that the Blood God Ancestor would lend critical support at this key moment.

“Was it the host himself who asked you to seek help from me?”, Su Ping quickly focused on the crux of the matter as his thoughts raced.

With a bitter smile, Monk Kong Jue nodded in affirmation.

He had also surmised that the host’s ambush was likely not a random coincidence,

but that enemies had long been targeting the Great Golden Light Temple’s abbot.

And since the attackers were so well-prepared, they had undoubtedly also considered support from the Great Golden Light Temple itself,

likely knowing that the monks who could first receive the news at this time were either not in place or entangled in other affairs.

Thus, the host had made a point to remind Monk Kong Jue to seek the Blood God Ancestor’s help.

“Who could ambush the host of the Great Golden Light Temple, what are their origins?”

“Could it be the avatars of the Evil God?”

Su Ping immediately inquired for details, curious.

Monk Kong Jue sighed and said,

“If it were avatars of the Evil God, the host would not have been ambushed.”

“This time, it should be the leaders of the Demon Sect, led by the Demon Heart Sect!”

“These demons have long been coveting the Buddha Country Golden Lotus.”

“And if I’m not mistaken, the deal between the demon path and the Evil God surely contains a critical clause about thwarting our Great Golden Light Temple’s plans.”

Monk Kong Jue said this, looking at the contemplative incarnation of the Blood God Ancestor before him.

He bowed again and said:

“The host had mentioned, if you could help, regardless of the outcome, the Great Golden Light Temple guarantees that the Buddha Country Golden Lotus you receive will be safe, and is willing to offer three hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, thirty top-grade Spirit Stones, and one Nascent Soul Demon Soul…”

“Hmm?”

Su Ping’s interest was piqued upon hearing this reward.

Ordinary Spirit Stones might have alternatives to finding or decreasing usage,

but for mid-grade and top-grade Spirit Stones, each one used was one less available.

Hence, these high-quality Spirit Stones were becoming increasingly rare in the Immortal Cultivation World, practically priceless.

Not to mention that Nascent Soul Demon Soul.

Such a life-risking trump card in the hands of other forces, in Su Ping’s hands, it meant future Nascent Soul support!

Su Ping looked solemnly at Monk Kong Jue, speaking in an authoritative tone,

“Just inform me of the location, and I will go to assist the host!”

“Those demon path scum are merely dragging down the Immortal Cultivation World!”

“I have long disdained these evil spirits and ghosts!”

…

In a desolate gorge, stripped of any weeds,

the young host sat cross-legged at the bottom, hands joined in prayer, silently reciting Buddhist Scriptures.

Around him, various demons and ghosts, even illusions of gods and Buddhas, appeared, displaying angry expressions and striking at the young host.

However, these illusionary attacks, upon nearing within thirty meters of the young host, triggered a burst of golden light,

and the entire illusion disintegrated into ash in the blink of an eye.

High above the gorge, at ten thousand meters,

five demons enveloped in dark aura stood together, watching as shadows were continually sent down to replenish the energy of the gorge’s demon array.

They spoke no words, but their divine senses were communicating rapidly.

“Demon Heart Old Monster, are you certain that the Buddha Country Golden Lotus is truly in the hands of this host?”

“Old Man has said many times, the Buddha Country Golden Lotus is not only in the hands of this incarnation, but I also know this Buddha Country Golden Lotus is the one closest to maturity in the Great Golden Light Temple!”

“For the Holy Sect’s plan, securing this Buddha Country Golden Lotus is more crucial than anything!”

“Otherwise, Old Man wouldn’t have utilized so many years of planted spies and favors to ambush this incarnation!”

“Knowing it’s tricky, then let’s all strike together, no more hesitation, once we seize the Buddha Country Golden Lotus, we will stand invincible!”
