Chapter 368: Chapter 216: Chen Kuang Sent Me Here (Double Chapter)
Xiuxin may not be unaware that he would leave a trail.
But in reality, he is now a spent force and understands that as more pursuers appear, his situation will become increasingly difficult. He has somewhat resigned to his fate.
Moreover, Xiuxin truly cannot commit the crime of theft, breaking his own vows, and therefore left those villagers with that string of Buddhist Beads in exchange.
Just as Chen Kuang once thought, the monks of this Pure Land are foolish enough to be killed by their own kindness.
Throughout the world, it is only this isolated Pure Land that could cultivate such people.
The name Pure Land is true to its essence.
Xiuxin gazed at the pursuers before him, noticing how they used various methods for secret communication.
The numbers of those arriving later will only increase...
The order for pursuit personally issued by the three Great Zen Masters of the Pure Land is already enough to entice the Upper Three Grades, regardless of what reward is ultimately obtained.
Xiuxin has been on the run for three whole days, and even if he fights his way out this round, there is a second round, a third round...until his death.
Xiuxin sighed.
The title of a "traitor of the Pure Land" weighs upon him, and even if he speaks the truth, no one would believe him.
He brought his hands together in prayer and slightly bowed his head, abandoning the thought of escape.
If he continues to flee, these people might resort to more extreme measures...such as directly sealing the entire forest, using the Earth-Sinking Technique to reverse heaven and earth.
Forcing him out would be simple, but there are scattered mortal villages in this forest, and they would be caught in the turmoil.
Xiuxin is unwilling to cause such unwarranted deaths.
Seeing this situation, the pursuers looked at each other, feeling uncertain and doubtful.
But ultimately, they lost patience and acted.
Xiuxin had made up his mind to face death.
But just at this moment, an azure blue scale the size of a fingernail suddenly flew out from his sleeve!
Xiuxin was taken aback, "Lion Heart?! When...?"
On Chen Kuang’s first day entering the Pure Land, his identity as no longer human had already been exposed.
However, his body is that of a merfolk, and the "Illustration of Transformations by the Dragon’s Companion" he practiced has deep ties with Buddha, which became an advantage instead of causing controversy.
It was even seen as a bonus...
The moment the scale emerged, Xiuxin sensed Chen Kuang’s aura.
He immediately recalled the Void-Slaying Sword from that day.
Chen Kuang grasps the Dao of "Time and Space," making it exceedingly simple for him to conceal something.
The light on the scale flourished brightly.
The pursuers initially failed to notice, but soon, they heard a resounding and distant dragon’s roar.
"Roar—"
Transforming from illusion to reality, approaching rapidly.
In the distant sky, a white streak suddenly flew towards them.
As it drew closer, everyone could see that it wasn’t a streak at all, but a colossal, earth-shaking white dragon!
The white dragon’s dazzling golden eyes brought hurricanes and thunderstorms wherever it went, immense vapors converging mid-air, clouds billowing like tides.
It bore an unstoppable momentum.
"Boom!!!!"
The crowd’s faces were filled with terror, retreating quickly.
"A real dragon?! How is that possible?!"
"There’s been no news of a real dragon emerging lately?!"
Someone trembled and said, "The essence of heaven and earth, upon developing consciousness, transforms into a real dragon. A real dragon’s emergence signifies the rank of a Saint! The legend is actually true!"
"This real dragon...it seems to be coming for us?"
"The scale! It’s the scale in front of the Pure Land traitor!"
"Damn it, he can actually summon a real dragon?"
"Run, run quickly!"
In the midst of chaos, someone sensed danger early and immediately ran for it.
But most people, either confused by the situation or reluctant to give up on Xiuxin’s head, were caught in the turmoil.
Soon, they had no other thoughts.
"Boom rumble!!!!"
The massive white dragon swept past, clouds and tides crashing down, flattening all obstacles in front.
The white dragon coiled upon the mountain peak, lowering her head, her golden eyes gazing at Xiuxin before her.
And those pursuers had already become indistinct blood stains beneath her.
A droplet of sweat slid down Xiuxin’s bald head.
This white dragon was naturally Yu Xueling, transformed from the straw rope by Chen Kuang using the "Illustration of Transformations by the Dragon’s Companion."
The white dragon glanced at Xiuxin, then shifted her gaze to the hovering azure blue scale, her fierce golden eyes unexpectedly softening.
She extended a claw, gently touching the scale with its sharpest tip.
A circle of azure blue light spread.
The scale floated into her palm, and she gently wrapped it up.
Her dragon whiskers floated, and her breath was cloaked in mist.
She spoke, "Do you know my father? Do you know where he is?"
Xiuxin saw her touching the scale and knew that this real dragon must have a deep connection with Chen Kuang.
But when she spoke, he was still taken aback.
Father?
Xiuxin fell silent.
Not to mention that being recognized as a father by a real dragon is an extraordinary feat... although Chen Kuang is not human, he should be of the merfolk race, right?
How could a real dragon formed from the essence of mountains and rivers make such a mistake?
There must be some secrets concerning Chen Kuang involved.
But Xiuxin’s silence now is mainly because he doesn’t understand why Chen Kuang would place this scale token on him, allowing the real dragon to save him.
It was clearly Chen Kuang who framed him!
Although Xiuzhu was the one apparent in this, Xiuxin is not foolish. By simply reviewing the events of those days, it’s clear that Chen Kuang was the mastermind all along.
Even though Xiuxin isn’t certain of Chen Kuang’s identity, this guy clearly allied with the Celestial Demon, yet now it’s Chen Kuang who saved him.
