Chapter 217 – Round up and hunt

This is a very ordinary group of monks, and the Maitreya Sect does not have any special attire, so it is not easy to distinguish. Although the Buddhist sect is declining in this world, it is not nonexistent, so seeing monks is not uncommon.

But in the vicinity of Langya and Mount Tai, because the Wang family originally implemented the extermination of Buddhism in the Xia Longyuan, and the Taiyi Sect of Mount Tai is a Taoist sect, the two local overlords are here, and there are not many Buddhist sects appearing nearby.

Could the messengers of the Maitreya Sect be these monks?

"According to reason, this is not the territory of the Maitreya Sect, they shouldn't be so blatant. Why not just disguise themselves?" Situ smiled and lowered his voice, "Or do they think that when they arrive at Langya, they should show their true colors to show sincerity? Are they really that old-fashioned?"

Zhao Changhe smiled, "This is simple."

He drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and sprinkled some on himself. He was drunk and stumbled out of the door.

Situ smiled, his mouth twitching. This is his favorite template, and it was learned in person...

Speaking of which, Zhao Changhe's imitation of this drunken step is quite interesting... Although he hasn't learned the footwork system, he has already touched its essence. Ordinary people would think that the drunken step is chaotic and without any rules, but in fact, it is very systematic and stable. Zhao Changhe has already learned a bit of its taste...

But Zhao Changhe stumbled and fell two steps, and happened to fall behind the monk at the end of the team.

Seeing that he was about to collide, the monk frowned and turned his head, reaching out to support him, "Be careful, donor..."

Just with this hand, Situ smiled and felt that it was not the Maitreya Sect. This move was quite solid and powerful, like a martial monk who had been trained since childhood. It was not the same as the Maitreya Sect.

Zhao Changhe also felt the same way. He didn't give up and pretended to be unable to hold on due to being drunk, and continued to fall into the arms of the monk, while his fingers brushed over the acupoints on the monk's arm.

The monk's arm trembled slightly as he avoided this finger, and his other hand quickly reached out and landed on Zhao Changhe's shoulder, "Donor, is this drunken step of yours Situ Smile? Our Huayan Temple has never offended the Shenhuan Sect."

Situ smiled, "..."

Zhao Changhe was not embarrassed at all. Since he was "drunk," he pretended not to understand what the monk was saying, and staggered to the side, "Life is about wine, one should get drunk, not a drop has ever reached the netherworld..."

Situ smiled, "Damn."

The monk who supported Zhao Changhe suddenly heard Zhao Changhe's voice transmission, "Master, be careful of a sneak attack."

The monk was stunned for a moment, nodded imperceptibly, and replied with voice transmission, "Thank you for the reminder, donor."

Zhao Changhe stumbled back to the hotel, and the monks continued on their way. They soon arrived outside the Wang family and said to the guards, "Amitabha, Master Yuanxing of Huayan Temple is here to visit. Please inform Mr. Daozhong of the Wang family. I had a chance encounter with Mr. Daozhong three years ago."

It seems that even the orthodox Buddhist sects have come to contact the Wang family. After all, Xia Longyuan has banned Buddhism...

It can be said that the winds of Langya are rising, and there are movements from all directions.

Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically at the expressionless Situ, "Brother Situ's reputation is indeed far-reaching..."

Situ smiled unkindly, "You mistook the person, which means that your attempt to intercept the Maitreya Sect messenger seemed feasible, but it was actually wishful thinking. Even if they changed their appearance and infiltrated the Wang family, you wouldn't know. Moreover, even if you managed to intercept them, they might be a strong person on the Human List, or they might have brought many people. Have you considered that?"

Zhao Changhe looked at the scene where the guards of the Wang family were reporting, and answered the question with another question, "The Four Elephant Sect is one thing, as their teachings are different. But now that the orthodox Buddhist sect has come, what does the Maitreya Sect have to do with it? If I were the Maitreya Sect messenger, I wouldn't come at this time. Once they come, they will immediately take action to disrupt the contact between the Wang family and the Buddhist sect, just like Ban Chao's actions."

Before his words fell, the sound of bowstrings suddenly rose from the eaves of the Wang family, and arrows rained down, directly shooting at the Huayan Temple monks waiting in front of the gate.

The bows were military-grade, and the people were well-trained. If the Huayan Temple monks were unprepared, there might be casualties in this round.

Fortunately, Zhao Changhe's reminder made the monks prepared. Suddenly, a golden bell shape appeared, and the thousands of arrows made a "ding-ding" sound, but none of them could penetrate this golden bell protection.

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath, "This golden bell shield is even more powerful than your Henglian. It can protect such a large area!"

Situ smiled calmly, "It is similar to the principle of the Qi Wall I told you before. It is an instant defense and cannot be sustained. In fact, it is a kind of Qi Wall..."

Sure enough, the golden bell disappeared, and the monks quickly formed a formation. Yuanxing angrily said, "We understand the etiquette of the Wang family! Let's go!"

The Wang family hadn't even been notified internally yet, and the guards were at a loss, watching the monks form a formation and quickly retreat, leaving the main street and exiting the city.

Anyone in Yuanxing's position would think that the Wang family had already made contact with their enemies and made a choice. If they didn't leave now, they would have to explain everything here.

Situ smiled finally understood what Zhao Changhe meant by "Ban Chao's actions". He looked at Zhao Changhe with a different gaze.

It can be said that the messenger of the Maitreya Sect is a remarkable person! But Zhao Changhe, who could even predict this, is even more monstrous. How did he guess it?

In fact, Zhao Changhe didn't predict it himself. Who could have guessed this? He just heard the voice transmission from Rosefinch, saying that there were archers on both sides, and Rosefinch thought they were here to kill him... But with this information, Zhao Changhe quickly analyzed that it might not be to kill him, but to kill the monks, so he reminded the monks.

The result turned out to be true.

Strange, why hasn't Rosefinch left yet?

But then a steward hurriedly ran out of the Wang family, "Master Yuanxing! Master Yuanxing! Second Young Master invites you in..."

His voice choked in his throat, and there was no one outside the door. Where were the monks?

Only arrows scattered all over the ground witnessed the accident that had just occurred.

A gray-clothed figure suddenly appeared at the door, saying indifferently, "Maitreya Sect's Faqing, seeking an audience with Mr. Daoning, the head of the Wang family."

Faqing, ranked 70th on the Human List.

As expected, Situ smiled's words were right. A strong person on the Human List really came.Not only was there a Human List, but also a group of well-trained archers... Although at this moment, the archers could hardly act, otherwise they would be provoking the Wang family. However, if someone tried to assassinate Fa Qing, the archers could still transform into warriors.

At this moment, Situ Xiao was a bit curious about how Zhao Changhe planned to pluck the chestnuts out of the fire under such circumstances.

He even suspected that Wang Daoning should be aware of the situation at the door, otherwise the tenth on the Heavenly List would be too lax... Wang Daoning was likely standing somewhere, watching the changes at the door with a cold eye. He was also conducting a kind of test and selection.

Would Zhao Changhe dare to act?

However, Zhao Changhe seemed to be in a daze at the entrance of the inn for a while, as if he was secretly communicating with someone. In the end, his face looked bitter, as if the communication had failed.

"Isn't your Four Elephant Sect at odds with the Maitreya Sect? Not long ago, Chi Chi even killed someone called the Buddha of the North. Fa Qing is here, won't the Venerable kill him to offer a sacrifice to the heavens?"

"Being at odds doesn't mean we're mortal enemies. Chi Chi killed the Buddha of the North because they first crossed the line and infringed upon our interests. It doesn't mean that I have to kill a Maitreya Sect member whenever I see one. After all, we're all against the court, who knows if there will be a chance for reconciliation and cooperation in the future? Do you think I'm a fool who can be used to please your Tang Wanzhuang?"

"The Maitreya Sect is competing with you for the alliance of the Wang family."

"The directions are different, the conflicts are not big. It's not like the conflict between Yuan Xing and them, that's the real big one."

Zhao Changhe sighed, "Then I'll have to do it myself."

Rosefinch watched with interest from a distance. She also wanted to know what else this guy could do.

Suddenly, Zhao Changhe leaped onto the roof and rushed towards the direction from where the arrows had come.

There was a group of Maitreya Sect followers gathered there, waiting to see if Fa Qing at the door of the Wang family would be received. They turned their heads to see a big man with a broadsword, pouncing on them like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

The wild sword rose suddenly, sweeping away everything in its path.

The nearest Maitreya Sect follower didn't even have time to react before his head was sent flying, blood splattering everywhere.

"It's Zhao Changhe! Form a formation quickly!" A group of Maitreya Sect followers were in a panic, trying to form a defensive formation. However, the broadsword was swinging like a windmill, what use was a formation against that!

With a swish, a Maitreya Sect follower was cut in half along with his sword.

Fa Qing flashed to the side, his face dark as he struck a palm towards Zhao Changhe's back, "I didn't want to make things complicated, but since you're here to die, stay!"

"Whoosh!" A monk's staff came from afar, aiming straight at Fa Qing's head!

Fa Qing's biggest mistake was that he thought Yuan Xing had been tricked into leaving. In fact, this monk had received a message from Zhao Changhe and hadn't been fooled at all, he hadn't left. When Fa Qing went to the front of the Wang family's house, Yuan Xing had already led his followers to quietly circle around and encircle the Maitreya Sect followers.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" A group of monks appeared on the roof, rushing towards the battlefield.

Fa Qing slapped away Yuan Xing's staff with a cold expression, "You, Yuan Xing, are not on the Human List, so what if you turn back? I'll send you all to the west!"

Before his words fell, there was a gust of wind behind him.

A heavy sword, seemingly slow but urgent, was slashing straight at him.

Situ Xiao.

Suddenly, it turned into a hunt for the Human List... Yuan Xing was fine, after all, he was at the ninth level of Xuan Guan, and was a figure hovering on the edge of the Human List. But Situ Xiao and Zhao Changhe were really like newborn calves not fearing the tiger, where did they get the courage... Could their strength accomplish this?

Rosefinch at a distance had an interesting smile at the corner of her mouth. She also wanted to know.
