Chapter 956 -72 Wind Suddenly Rises_2

Since Monk Liao Fan had already proven his understanding in one area, why did he still come to participate in the assessment and take up a spot?

This question had just emerged in the minds of the monks and nuns participating in the selection as well as in Monk Liao Wu’s heart, when everyone found their answer, as they all turned to look at Junior Brother Liao Xin, who was in disarray but uninjured.

Having been rated “superior” in the first two assessments, Junior Brother Liao Xin, inevitably receiving a “poor” rating in this one, naturally had no chance of entering Dharma Hall now.

So, it was revenge!

Realizing this, Monk Liao Wu burst out laughing, “All your cunning strategies have gone too far, cleverness has cost dear life instead.”

While quoting a song lyric he heard in a brothel, Monk Liao Wu made no attempt to conceal his contempt and mockery towards Junior Brother Liao Xin.

Other monks and nuns participating in the assessment, upon hearing Monk Liao Wu’s remarks, also cast mocking glances at Junior Brother Liao Xin.

Including those who had previously been on good terms with Junior Brother Liao Xin.

This was the underlying tone in the White Horse Zen Institution.

Monks like Monk Yuanzhi and Monk Liao Wu, who cared for their disciples and junior brothers, were few and far between.

At this time, Link spoke up, calmly responding, “Respectful Uncle Master Yuanhui, after waking from the injuries sustained from falling off the cliff, I found deeper insights into the practice of Buddhism and it seemed as if I was guided by some mysterious force. By the lakeside where Master Wusheng once planted lotuses in the back mountain, I happened upon an understanding of three Divine Foot powers.”

In the past month, Link couldn’t hide his inquiries about Monk Yuanzhi and Monk Liao Wu, nor could the records of Master Wusheng’s deeds be erased.

If the White Horse Zen Institution wanted to investigate, they could find out at any time.

Rather than concealing it, it was better to “frankly” disclose it, and then make use of this fact.

However, Link still had reservations, only admitting to having understood three Divine Foot powers, not six.

Even so, the many monks present were still shocked by Link.

Three powers!

It was extremely difficult for ordinary monks to understand even one.

For you to chance upon three at once, what are the rest of us to make of that?

Especially those who had achieved “superior” ratings in all three assessments.

“Which three?”

Monk Yuanhui had the best composure, calmly inquiring.

“Divine Foot, Telepathy, and Exhaustion of Outflows,” Link replied without the slightest hesitation, announcing the three Divine Foot powers he had carefully selected.

The Divine Foot was already demonstrated; the Exhaustion of Outflows would clear any obstacles in the near future for achieving the Arhat Fruit Position. As for Telepathy…

Pausing for a moment, Link explained, “Respectful Uncle Master Yuanhui, I did not wish to expose the Divine Foot powers I had achieved today, but I sensed malice from Junior Brother Liao Xin using Telepathy and thus acted rashly. I hope you will not blame me.”

“Haha…”

Monk Yuanhui laughed heartily, “No blame! No blame! You did very well! You did very well!”

After laughing, Monk Yuanzhi looked at Junior Brother Liao Xin who still had not risen from the ground, “You are expelled from White Horse Zen Institution, I say it, now get lost.”

As he spoke, Monk Yuanhui’s right hand opened and then retracted.

A strand of Qi that was like a wisp of smoke issued from the top of Junior Brother Liao Xin’s head.

“This…”

Junior Brother Liao Xin couldn’t believe what was happening to him.

The monks present, apart from those from Dharma Hall, including Link, had not expected Monk Yuanhui to directly strip Junior Brother Liao Xin of all his cultivation.

No… It wasn’t just a stripping away, but a reclaiming.

“Throw him out!”

Monk Yuanhui, too indifferent to deal with Junior Brother Liao Xin’s disbelief and anger, coldly issued an order.

Immediately, two monks from Dharma Hall stepped forward, lifting Junior Brother Liao Xin, who was somehow immobilized, and carried him away.

“All right, come to your senses!”

Monk Yuanhui bellowed, and with a sweeping gesture, declared, “The selection is over, Liao Fan, come with me.”

Leaving these words behind, Monk Yuanhui did not bother with the few monks who had not yet undergone the third assessment and left on his own accord.

Link stepped down from the platform, gave Monk Liao Wu a significant look as a signal, and followed Monk Yuanhui’s pace.

Monk Liao Wu, understanding the cue, hurried back to report the matter to his master, Monk Yuanzhi.

But as for Junior Brother Liao Xin, who was carried out of White Horse Zen Institution and dumped by the roadside like trash, he was quickly picked up by a horse carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

In the carriage, Lotson, like a ghost, gazed intently at the immobile Junior Brother Liao Xin, cackling with glee.

As a reincarnation of a Saint, Lotson certainly would not enter the residual Buddhist star system through “Soul Seizing” like the five individuals—Link, Jasmine, Elise, Frist, and Medici.

In a strict sense, if not for the fact that Elise was genuinely a native True Spirit of the Witch civilization, whose fate became entangled with “me” only by coincidence, and whose real status was merely that of a level six sage, she would also not be capable of “Soul Seizing” and entering.

In any case, for the month prior, Lotson had no body and existed in a form akin to a ghost.

Junior Brother Liao Xin, yet to recover from the shock of being stripped of his cultivation and thrown out of White Horse Zen Institution, found himself plunged into another kind of astonishment.

“What is this for?”

“What is this for?”

He was merely following his master’s teachings, adhering to the principles instilled by the White Horse Zen Institution from a young age, engaging in a little scheming just to ensure his entry into the Dharma Hall.

How come others could do the same without consequence, yet he met with such a fate?

“I won’t accept this!”

Monk Liao Xin roared in anger in his heart.

Lotson cared none for Monk Liao Xin’s rage, grievances, sorrow, and pain. His ethereal right hand rested upon Monk Liao Xin’s forehead.

In an instant, Monk Liao Xin’s soul was yanked out, torn to shreds.

The ghostly Lotson vanished from the carriage.

Shortly thereafter, a completely new Monk Liao Xin sat up, twisted his neck, moved his limbs, and muttered softly to himself, “Finally have a body, it wasn’t easy.”

After grumbling, Lotson sped up the carriage’s pace.

The Element Sage said that the “Soul Seizing” Magic Tool would randomly arrange the “Soul Seizing” destination, yet there was still a certain level of planning involved.

Lotson, Medici, and Link ended up in the same world.

Frist and Jasmine landed in the same world.

Only Elise was left alone.

Thinking of this, Lotson couldn’t help but grumble again, “Those shadowy bastards in the Supreme Council just love to fleece a sheep for all it’s worth. Fleece away, you just fleece away, let’s see what kind of monster you end up pulling out.”

Elise, whom Lotson thought would become a monster, stood amidst a pool of blood, emotionlessly “absorbing” the resentment and the vital essence generated at the deaths of brothel managers, patrons, and uncooperative courtesans.

Around her stood sixteen girls, arranged in the shape of a lotus.

The lotus rises from the mud untainted, cleansed and unblemished in the water.

The resentment and vital essence, inherently impure and filthy, converged at Elise’s feet, transforming into silt.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

After purification by the White Lotus, it split into two substances, one clear and one turbid.

The lighter and cleaner part rose up, giving back to the heavens; the heavier and murkier part sank down, giving back to the earth.

Elise, in the process of gathering, purifying, and giving back, obtained the two types of mental power she desired.

One mental power was named hatred, and the other admiration.

At the same time Elise obtained these two mental powers, the sixteen girls arranged in the lotus shape also received feedback.

A mixed power surged into the hearts of the sixteen girls, endowing them with a conflicting aura of sanctity and fierceness, compassion and indifference.

“Parents of no birth, True Void Homeland.”

Elise murmured softly.

“Parents of no birth, True Void Homeland.”

The sixteen girls echoed loudly.

“Do you wish to follow me?”

Elise turned towards the courtesans of the brothel who had not resisted or fled and were survivors.

“Willing… willing.”

One courtesan spoke up first, her voice trembling, still full of fear.

“Willing… willing… willing.”

The other courtesans, coming to their senses, quickly echoed, fearing that this ruthless person, who would slaughter the entire brothel without a second thought, might finish them off as well.

“Do you wish to join me in purifying this filthy world?”

Elise, ignoring the courtesans’ fear, asked again softly.

“Willing.”

For some reason, the courtesans’ hearts suddenly calmed, and their tone became more resolute as they answered.

A faint smile appeared on Elise’s face, “If you are willing, then follow me into the True Void Homeland.”

As her voice fell, the entire brothel burst into fierce flames.

Elise walked into the fire first.

The sixteen girls followed without hesitation.

Some courtesans followed resolutely, some hesitated for a while, some couldn’t move their feet, and some thought of turning and running.

Those who couldn’t move their feet quietly fell to the ground, awaiting the flames’ consumption.

Those who turned to run were suddenly ablaze, turning into human torches and emitting pitiful screams.

“Those who believe in me shall have eternal life.”

“Those who do not believe in me shall not transcend.”

Elise’s indifferent voice echoed throughout the city.

Suddenly, the entire brothel burned to ash, leaving only a water tank.

Within it grew a single white lotus.
