Chapter 280 Deeply Rooted in Love
Inside the temple, the chanting of Buddhist hymns filled the air. Everyone in the Dao Palace and the Mingguang Sect was now gripped by madness or fear, their spiritual energy in disarray and about to die one by one!
The Holy Maiden Cihang, Miao Wuyu, had already received the incense money and was preparing to leave, but at this moment, her gaze fell on Li Lan!
“You are not lost,”
She spoke in surprise, then suddenly waved her hand, and the death-reaping chanting stopped abruptly.
"What happened? What happened? Master's wife, where did Master's wife go...?"
"Haven't I already returned to Earth?..."
"Where is this place...?"
Having just awakened from the illusion, everyone was still somewhat confused.
"The deadly chant... truly formidable."
Guo Zhentian coughed and spoke, his old eyes looking at the Holy Maiden Cihang with full of apprehension, saying, "Our Dao Palace and the Cihang Holy Land have never had any enmity. Why is the Holy Maiden reprimanding us like this?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden Cihang simply said:
"First, when we, the Cihang Holy Land, do what we want to do, why should we have grudges or hatred?"
"Secondly, I'm not trying to lecture you; I'm trying to kill you. These two things are not the same."
Guo Zhentian was stunned. Looking at Cihang Saintess, he felt both angry and powerless.
Moreover, besides being powerful, the other party does things completely unpredictably, and it seems that she cannot be viewed with the thinking of a normal person.
Miao Wuyu paused for a moment, then continued, "The reason I stopped was simply because someone broke my life-snatching chant."
These words immediately startled everyone in the room!
Has someone broken the life-snatching chant of the Holy Maiden Cihang?
This is absolutely amazing!
It should be noted that the power of the Soul-Taking Brahma Sound is not only renowned in the Big Dipper Star Region, but also in the Purple Star Region. Moreover, even experts like Guo Zhentian and Madam Baixue have fallen victim to it. Who else in the field has such power?
Madam Bai Xue and Guo Zhentian were both suspicious and delighted upon hearing this. They all knew that the Cihang Holy Land was very particular about cause and effect when it made a move. Once a move was thwarted, it meant that the cause and effect had not been met and the Cihang Holy Maiden would not kill them again!
While everyone was puzzled, the Holy Maiden Cihang glanced at Li Lan and said, "I only caught a quick glance at you on the street yesterday, but I felt that you had some of my Cihang wisdom. Now it seems that you are indeed extraordinary."
Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Li Lan!
"It's him?"
"Isn't he an ancient divine body from the Dao Palace? He has no cultivation at all, so how could he break the Death-Snatching Brahma Sound?"
"Could it be that we misjudged them?"
Everyone was surprised.
Did he save everyone?
"This isn't right..."
Zeng Rou was full of doubt. How could Li Lan, with his low cultivation level, possibly fight against a great figure like the Holy Maiden Cihang?
Ling Xuewei felt a little complicated, and looked at Li Lan with some confusion.
“Come with me to the Cihang Holy Land. Neither the Dao Palace nor the Mingguang Sect is worthy of you. Only the Cihang Holy Land is suitable for someone like you to cultivate.”
Miao Wuyu looked at Li Lan calmly.
Everyone was even more shocked.
Li Lan has... gained the favor of the Holy Maiden Cihang?
Who in the world doesn't know that the Cihang Holy Land is extremely particular about fate when recruiting disciples? Let alone ordinary people, even geniuses would find it incredibly difficult to get in. Yet now, the Holy Maiden herself has personally extended an olive branch to Li Lan!
What an honor!
Guo Zhentian and Xuanyuan Tongxuan were getting anxious. Li Lan was the blood offering they had prepared to offer to Xing Tian Yin Shen. What would they do if she went to Cihang Holy Land?
However, they had already been severely injured by the Death-Snatching Chant and were unable to fight for the time being. With the Holy Maiden Cihang present, she dared not speak out to stop them.
Liu Guiyuan's expression also changed. If Li Lan left, he and Ling Xuewei would be finished, and they would have to be the ones to feed the blood spirits.
"How is this possible..."
Meanwhile, Yao Yi of the Mingguang Emperor couldn't help but mutter to himself, a hint of indescribable anger and resentment flashing in his eyes.
He had taken the initiative to ask to practice Zen, but Miao Wuyu ignored him. But now, she actually showed such favor to a good-for-nothing.
Am I really not even as good as that good-for-nothing?
Under everyone's gaze, Li Lan smiled calmly and said, "Hasn't the Holy Maiden listened to what everyone is saying? I am an ancient divine body, but also a useless body."
"I have no idea what the deadly chant you are talking about is, nor is there any way to break it. I just didn't hear it."
Neither overbearing nor overbearing.
Everyone was stunned.
"How did he decipher the deadly chant?"
"Yes, the death-reaping chant only works on cultivators. He's just a mortal, so he's unaffected..."
"It's like an ant can't possibly comprehend all the changes happening in the sky!"
The surprise that everyone had felt towards Li Lansheng earlier has now vanished.
"I knew it! How could a useless body break the deadly chant? It turns out it was just a lucky accident."
"It's also luck; we weren't meant to die!"
Everyone started to speak.
The terror of the deadly chant lies in its ability to lure cultivators into their most desired or most feared scenarios, causing their spiritual energy to become disordered and erupt, ultimately killing them. Li Lan, lacking spiritual energy, could not ignite flames even in strong winds, thus ensuring his safety.
“Mortals do not understand supernatural powers, but they would not be so unmoved, because humans are always emotional, experiencing the seven emotions and six desires, life and death, shock and pain. Just now, you were without waves or ripples.”
The Holy Maiden Cihang spoke calmly. Even mortals would be stirred by the life-threatening chants, experiencing joy or sorrow. But Li Lan was so calm; he didn't seem to be affected in the slightest.
The so-called ancient abandoned body is just Li Lan's excuse!
"In my Cihang Holy Land, we only consider fate. There are white-haired old men as disciples, and there are prostitutes and beggars as true disciples. You don't need to worry about physical constitution. In addition, you don't need to worry about the Taoist temple. Once you enter my Buddhist gate, everything will be dispersed. If anyone tries to stop you, the Cihang Holy Land will protect you."
She spoke.
But Li Lan shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kind words, but Li Lan is destined not to be a member of the Buddhist order."
Refuse!
Everyone in the room was stunned.
How could anyone refuse the favor of the Cihang Holy Land?
It should be known that the name of Cihang Holy Land is renowned throughout the star fields of Beidou and Ziwei. Who does not know that ten emperors have emerged from Cihang Holy Land in succession, like the sun hanging in the sky?
Being able to enter and cultivate there is a rare and precious opportunity that many people can only dream of. Even the most ordinary person, once chosen by them and entering the Cihang Holy Land, can be reborn and have a limitless future!
Moreover, Li Lan, a dignified but useless person, would at most be a sacrifice within the Dao Palace, a world of difference compared to going to the Cihang Holy Land. Yet Li Lan actually refused.
Is this insane?
Everyone was extremely surprised and puzzled!
"You are unwilling to enter my Cihang Holy Land?"
Even the Holy Maiden Cihang was taken aback. Her usually serene heart was stirred by the slight ripples that stirred within her.
She was rejected by the same person twice?!
Even though she had long since overcome the barriers of perception and would not become angry or ashamed of being rejected like ordinary people, she still found it somewhat absurd.
"Yes."
Li Lan answered calmly.
Cihang Saintess stared at Li Lan, and even her eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the hearts of all people in the world, showed a hint of confusion and doubt.
“You are deeply rooted in the dust of the world.”
After a long while, she suddenly spoke, saying, "You are nothing but a useless body within the Dao Palace, and you are not content with that, yet you are still unwilling to leave the Dao Palace, which means that your mortal roots are still within the Dao Palace..."
Her gaze swept across the faces of the others, then suddenly paused on Ling Xuewei, Zeng Rou, and the others!
Since his expression was different from that of an ordinary person, it was clear that he had a deeper relationship with Li Lan!
With a tentative mind, she suddenly attacked, unleashing a thunderous strike that swept towards Ling Xuewei and the others.
At this moment, Guo Zhentian and the others were all seriously injured and had no power to stop them.
Upon seeing this, Li Lan frowned immediately, because... Zhou Xiang was also overwhelmed by the opponent's thunderous methods!
He was about to try to stop him, he couldn't just watch him die innocently, but in the next instant, Cihang Saintess's attacks suddenly dissipated, and a blood-red plum blossom bloomed on her snow-white veil. Clearly, she had forcibly stopped the attack, so she suffered a backlash.
"Your root of dust, it turns out, is here."
She chuckled softly.
Upon seeing this, Li Lan couldn't help but realize that he had miscalculated!
Her actions couldn't escape Li Lan's notice. If she was just pretending, Li Lan could see through it. She couldn't fool Li Lan. But Li Lan really didn't expect that she would actually try to kill him, but then managed to stop herself.
This woman... is extraordinary!
As soon as Cihang Saintess spoke, everyone turned to look at Ling Xuewei and the others. Guo Zhentian, Xuanyuan Tongxuan, and others all focused their attention on Ling Xuewei.
Zeng Rou was even more terrified and subconsciously took a step away from Ling Xuewei. Liu Guiyuan's face was ugly, and after hesitating for a moment, he also silently retreated.
No one wanted to stand with Ling Xuewei.
After all, Ling Xuewei and Li Lan were once lovers. Back then, Li Lan chose Daodian from among the Mingguang Sect and Taiye Sect for Ling Xuewei's sake. Later, he even stepped forward to save Ling Xuewei, willingly becoming a sacrifice...
In their view, if Ling Xuewei was not Li Lan's mortal offspring, then who could be?
Nobody would believe me if I said no!!
Ling Xuewei was also somewhat taken aback. She looked at Li Lan, a complex expression appearing in her eyes.
In her view, her relationship with Li Lan ended after graduation. It was a well-thought-out decision, not a breakup made on impulse. Therefore, she had no regrets about her ex.
She only regarded Li Lan as an ordinary friend.
Even though Yao Yi advised Li Lan to go to Mingguang Sect, it was only because Yao Yi was there, and Li Lan's divine body had just begun to manifest at that time, so he might be able to help Yao Yi.
But now she realizes... Li Lan has never really let go?
Or... is he just that concerned about her?
Could one even give up the opportunity to visit the Cihang Holy Land?
A long-lost feeling of emotion welled up in her heart, but at the same time she couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.
If Li Lan harbored lofty ambitions and could, like Yao Yi, brave the winds and waves to reverse the ropes of fate and defend the safety of the Earth, perhaps she would truly admire Li Lan…
But all that Li Lan did was just for her? This made her completely reject Li Lan from the bottom of her heart.
As always, she only admired heroes who roamed the world, not those who lingered on personal feelings.
As her thoughts began to wander, the Holy Maiden Cihang's beautiful eyes were also watching her. Suddenly, the Holy Maiden Cihang smiled.
"I thought she was some peerless beauty or a worldly desire demon who could entangle you like this, but it turns out she's nothing more than that..."
Miao Wuyu smiled. Just now, she really had the intention of killing Ling Xuewei on the spot to help Li Lan break free from his desires, but now she felt it wasn't worth it.
What stopped Li Lan was not a giant net, but at most a rope!
"She's just a self-righteous woman. It's only a matter of time before you see through her illusions."
Miao Wuyu calmly gave Ling Xuewei a comment, then waved his hand, and a beam of light shot towards Li Lan. Li Lan caught it and found it to be a snow-white relic!
“I will wait for you at the sacred site of Cihang. Before you break through the barrier of love, this relic can protect you.”
After saying that, she took a step forward, her figure as swift as a ghost, and disappeared from sight from the temple gate in the distance.
