Chapter 4243 Pure Fighting
We hadn't expected Li Chao to come with us, and thought he wouldn't arrive for several hours. But unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared in front of us.
It wasn't that we, the Sixth Regiment, wanted to trick him; he came looking for us himself, so you can't blame us for that.
He could have stayed out of it; Li Chao would soon find out what excitement was all about.
He arrived at just the right time, landing such a big job right away.
Li Banxian glanced back at Li Chao, but didn't say anything, and continued walking forward on his own.
At this moment, Li Chao quickly took two steps and came to our side, saying with some doubt, "Xiao Jie, Xiao Luo, why is there such a big commotion outside? I see a lot of experts from the Special Investigation Team, and people from Lao Jun Mountain have come. What big job is this?"
The slovenly Taoist priest and I exchanged a glance, unsure how to respond to Li Chao.
However, the slovenly Taoist priest was quite clever and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Chao, how did it feel to receive more than a small goal last time?"
"That felt great. When I went back, I bought a lot of things for my fellow disciples on the mountain. I even bought an old ginseng from Wanluo Sect for my father and some spiritual herbs to improve my cultivation for my Master Zhiqing. Everyone was very happy. I never had money to buy things for them before, so I always had to ask them for things. Now I finally understand the benefits of having money. It's really great." Li Chao looked very proud.
A person who is broke, or a pampered individual, finally realizes that earning money can benefit those close to them. This kind of thing is addictive; once it happens, it will happen again. It's estimated that Li Chao will be unable to extricate himself from this addiction in the future.
"Brother Chao, just stick with us. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Everyone who follows me, Wu Laoliu, to do things is already a few millionaires." I said smugly.
“I believe you! How much profit is there this time? How much will we get?” Li Chao suddenly asked.
This remark made both the slovenly Taoist priest and me burst into laughter. It seems Li Chao has truly boarded our pirate ship this time.
The key point is that he naively thought he could make some money this time, and that he would be lucky not to lose his life here.
Since he's already here, I don't want to hide it from him, so I said with a smile, "Brother Chao, there's not much to gain this time. We're dealing with people from Yiguandao. I reckon all the top experts from Yiguandao have come to this Great Thunderclap Temple to snatch treasures. We've just been dragged here to do hard labor."
Li Chao was taken aback: "No profit, just a fight?"
"Yes, theoretically, that should be the case." The slovenly Taoist priest nodded.
"Alright then, let's fight. It's not like we don't have the strength. I spent almost all the money I earned this time. Remember to call me next time you have a big deal." Li Chao was still naive and probably hadn't dealt with the people of Yiguandao much.
As they were talking, Li Banxian, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and whispered to us, "There are still more than ten meters ahead. I haven't opened the passage yet. I'll open it for you right now. You should go in quickly, but I'll stay behind because I'll immediately seal this section of the passage after you go in. If the passage is left open for too long, the people in the first gate will definitely become alert. I can only reopen it when the next group of people comes in. Once inside, be careful and don't make any rash moves. Wait for the other experts to come in first."
"Brother Li, don't worry, we know what we're doing," Brother Gu quickly said.
"Go in." Li Banxian said, forming a hand seal. A ball of runes immediately floated forward, pushing the mist aside and creating a passage.
At this moment, we were all invisibility talismans activated. Li Chao had the most talismans, so he also activated his invisibility talisman and followed behind us, walking towards the passage ahead.
At the end of the passage, there was also a cloud of mist of various colors, but after passing through this mist, the view suddenly opened up and a door appeared. It was a real door, and it must be a building inside the Great Thunderclap Temple.
Once we entered the doorway, we looked behind us and saw a thick, impenetrable fog, obscuring the path we had come from.
It must be that Master Li has blocked the way out again.
We don't need to worry about not being able to get out at all. As long as Lao Li is here, he certainly won't leave us here.
We passed through an archway and saw a square ahead. There stood a dozen or so people dressed in black with lotus patterns on their clothes. Needless to say, they were from the Guandao sect.
These people weren't very powerful; they were just walking back and forth in the square, probably responsible for keeping watch on the outermost perimeter.
We have nothing to worry about with these people; their cultivation level is too high for them to detect us.
We tiptoed past them, and then a set of steps appeared ahead, with many people on either side of the steps.
These people were clearly stronger than the people in the square.
At this moment, we stopped and quickly took out several more talismans to conceal our aura and affixed them to our bodies.
With these talismans affixed to our bodies, combined with invisibility talismans, at least those below the pseudo-immortal realm cannot detect our presence.
After climbing the steps, there is a Buddhist bridge, and then a memorial archway, with Taoist priests guarding both sides.
The further you go in, the higher the cultivation level of those who have passed through the first stage. If you continue forward, you will reach a grand hall called the Hall of Heavenly Kings.
When we got here, we saw two sword slaves standing near the Heavenly King's Hall, looking around warily.
These sword slaves are exceptionally strong; we've witnessed their power before.
Seeing those two sword slaves, my heart suddenly felt heavy.
Before entering the Great Thunderclap Temple, I had some understanding of its layout. The Hall of Heavenly Kings is the outermost hall of the Great Thunderclap Temple, and inside there are also the Great Buddha Hall, the Hall of the Three Saints, and many other ancient building complexes, such as the Guanyin Hall, the Patriarch Hall, the Hall of Receiving Grace, the Three Stars Hall, and so on...
There are already two sword slaves guarding the outermost perimeter; the defenses inside must be even more terrifying.
It seems that the people of Yiguandao are determined to obtain the relics of the ancient Buddha Dipankara.
We were still quite far from the two sword slaves. The slovenly Taoist priest led us to a secluded corner and whispered, "Those two sword slaves might be able to sense our presence. Let's go around them. There's a courtyard wall next to the Heavenly King Hall. Let's avoid those two guys and climb over the wall."
