Chapter 662 - 661: Getting Involved with This Daoist Celestial Venerable Is the Unluckiest Thing for Them [Second Update]
Lin Heng escaped too decisively.
Realizing the unfavorable situation, he turned and ran.
This left the two Saints, who were determined to fight to the end, stunned in the highland.
However, the most infuriating part was yet to come.
After escaping the highland, that guy didn’t go far but stood arrogantly outside, shouting loudly.
"I say, you two, are you capable or not?"
"Aren’t you the founding Saints of the Western Sect? Why do you seem less competent than that Luminous Buddha?"
"With your strength, you’d probably struggle to be a Bodhisattva in the Buddha Country!"
Lin Heng shouted loudly, with a voice like rolling thunder that spread for millions of miles, echoing throughout Qingqiu Heaven and Earth.
Clearly, he aimed to publicly embarrass the two Saints.
Undoubtedly, Jieyin was almost driven insane with anger and would have rushed out of the highland if Zhunti hadn’t firmly restrained him.
"He’s doing it on purpose, trying to unsettle our Dao hearts and lure us out of the highland!"
"We absolutely can’t fall for his ploy!"
"We’ve endured for so many years, waiting to revive after a thousand more, ready to re-emerge."
"We absolutely can’t let him disrupt our state!"
Zhunti spoke in a deep voice, even though his heart was also filled with burning anger. Yet, compared to venting momentary anger, he knew that stepping out of the highland would mean no chance to return to their former peak.
Of course, Jieyin understood this reasoning too, but he couldn’t help but feel stifled, pulling back the mist a little and shouting out, "You brat, stop yelling and come back into the highland if you dare!"
Lin Heng laughed loudly, "Why don’t you dare to come out and fight? Come on out, and let’s see how I deal with you!"
One has to say.
This scene was truly comical.
Both sides, clearly Saint-level beings who could dominate the ages, were now shouting at each other like common hoodlums across a gate.
Such a spectacle was unprecedented in the history of Qingqiu.
It left all the strong beings watching in astonishment.
And in the Holy Race Highland, Su Daji, who had been watching the Land of the Far West, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"He’s so infuriating; if I were Jieyin, I’d be driven to death by his antics, haha..."
Su Daji, disregarding her image, laughed uncontrollably, her voluptuous figure truly stunning.
"That Daoist Celestial Venerable is really a rogue..."
Bao Si couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, almost picturing the Western Saints’ faces turning purple with anger.
One must admit.
The Western Saints, encountering this young Daoist Celestial Venerable just before full recovery.
Surely, they were extremely unlucky this time...
The other beings in the highlands were silently relieved.
Thankfully, that Daoist fellow hadn’t come to their highland...
...
On Bosatsu’s Sublime Light Highland.
After some unproductive shouting, Jieyin finally stopped responding out of anger.
But clearly, Lin Heng wasn’t going to give the two Saints any peace.
In the following time, Lin Heng continually harassed them, provoking the Saints and then decisively escaping.
Then, after the Saints rested for a few days, he continued his harassment.
During this time, Zhunti and Jieyin tried lying in wait for Lin Heng.
And indeed, they almost caught Lin Heng by surprise.
But he still managed to escape.
Lately, Lin Heng became cautious and would first send a doppelgänger into the highland to scout the situation.
If Zhunti and Jieyin hadn’t sealed themselves, he wouldn’t enter.
Whenever they tried to regain their strength, he would decisively break in, forcing them out!
After repeating this over a dozen times, Zhunti and Jieyin found it intolerably annoying, feeling like a mosquito buzzed incessantly around their ears.
Yet they couldn’t catch it or kill it!
Realizing they couldn’t continue like this, Zhunti and Jieyin finally decided to compromise.
When Lin Heng stepped into the highland once more, Zhunti promptly spoke out, "Enough of this farce, continuing like this benefits neither of us."
"Don’t you just want a slice of Pure Land to revive someone? We can lend it to you!"
Hearing this, Lin Heng, who had come with four swords once more, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Really?"
He looked back and forth between Zhunti and Jieyin, a hint of wariness deep in his eyes.
"Really!"
Zhunti spoke in a deep tone, his voice firm, his face showing a hint of helplessness, and the earlier killing intent gone.
This made Lin Heng somewhat tempted.
After all, his primary goal in coming to Qingqiu was to revive Bai Suzhen.
And initially, when he entered this highland, he didn’t intend to make enemies of the two Saints; it was their refusal to cooperate that led to this month-long harassment.
Now that Zhunti had compromised, Lin Heng naturally had to consider it.
Especially.
Fighting the two Saints alone was like walking a tightrope.
If a peaceful solution was possible, Lin Heng naturally wanted to prioritize Bai Suzhen’s revival.
However, the key issue was.
According to the guidance of the World Mirror, he needed to chant Bai Suzhen’s name in this highland’s Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
And if during this process, Zhunti and Jieyin suddenly attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lin Heng looked at the two Saints, hesitating internally.
At this moment, the Red-bottomed Macaque’s reminder came from the Little World.
"Don’t trust them; I have a bad feeling!"
The Red-bottomed Macaque, skilled in sensing blessings and calamities, often had intuition more accurate than others’ divinations!
As soon as it spoke, Lin Heng instantly became sober, his gaze turning cold.
Zhunti noticed Lin Heng’s change in expression, feeling a pang of unease in his heart, but outwardly still smiling said:
"Fellow Daoist, harmony brings wealth."
"Don’t bother us any longer; go and do your thing at the peak of the highland, reviving whoever you wish."
"Let’s not interfere with each other; wouldn’t that be wonderful?"
Zhunti seemed genuinely to have compromised, his words filled with a friendly smile.
Jieyin remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, while observing Lin Heng with an inscrutable gaze.
At this moment, Lin Heng made his decision, murmuring with a smile, "Not interfering with each other indeed sounds rather nice."
"Yes," Zhunti replied with a forced smile, "It’s truly fortunate that you think this way, Fellow Daoist. Alright, that place is filled with the divine power of the highland’s Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, so go and do your business quickly."
He pointed to a spot not far above.
That was the peak of the highland.
The Ancient Bodhi Tree and Miao Guang Boiling Ground were all there.
As he said, that area was filled with the mighty power of the highland’s Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!
"Alright, I’ll head there,"
Lin Heng said, preparing to leave.
Zhunti and Jieyin were secretly delighted, watching Lin Heng with anticipation and unease.
Who would have thought.
This Lord of Daoism, just as he began stepping away, suddenly turned around and slapped an unprepared Zhunti squarely on the face with a Dharma Aspect.
Then, transforming into a streak of light, he dashed out of the highland without looking back, leaving Zhunti in stunned silence.
