Looking at Lu Qingdao pointing at the people of Xuankong Mountain, his expression remained calm.
This time, however, no one dared to disregard his words.
There was no other way; if anyone could severely injure a Grand Completion Innate Realm expert from one of the Four Great Secret Realms with a single strike, no one would dare to underestimate him anymore.
"Arrogant!"
On the other side, Xuan Nu, with the support of other senior monks, had already begun to sit cross-legged and heal his injuries.
But how could the monks of the Suspended Mountain, who were always high and mighty, tolerate being so arrogantly pointed at with a knife by a mere young boy?
Immediately, some people wanted to step forward and show Lu Qing the consequences of his arrogance.
"Xuanxin, stop."
However, at that moment, the leading monk gave a soft shout, stopping the monk named Xuanming from his actions.
He then stepped forward, put his hands together, and said to Lu Qing, "This benefactor has misunderstood. We and your master were merely exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao, and we had no ill intentions."
However, you, benefactor, not only interrupted the competition upon your arrival, but also injured and killed a disciple of my Suspended Mountain.
In my opinion, it is you who needs to give an explanation to our Suspended Mountain regarding this matter.
Upon hearing this, not only did the old doctor show anger, but even the many powerful figures watching were taken aback.
They all seemed stunned by the words of the monk from the suspended mountain.
Only those who understood the true nature of the other three secret places of the Suspended Mountain revealed an expression of certainty.
Someone else muttered disdainfully, "That old bald monk Xuanming is still as shameless as ever."
"Misunderstanding?" Lu Qing seemed unsurprised by Xuanming's words, coldly replying, "The Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, a secret formation passed down from Suspended Mountain."
They can use Buddhist chants to forcibly alter people's minds and turn them into puppets.
You are using such an evil formation to try and turn my master into a puppet of your Suspended Mountain.
Now you're telling me it was a misunderstanding?
"You Suspended Mountain people are truly adept at distorting the truth! So, one of the so-called four secret realms is actually such a shameless and wicked place?"
Lu Qing knew that his master was not good with words, so he directly pointed out the viciousness of the formation that Suspended Mountain had used earlier.
Sure enough, once these words were spoken, apart from the people from the other three secret realms...
The other martial arts experts were all taken aback.
Although they had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines, they were unaware that the formation set up by the suspended mountain possessed such terrifying power.
Forcibly altering people's minds, causing them to lose their sense of self, and turning them into puppets.
The powerful figures felt a chill run down their spines just imagining that scene.
None of the powerful figures present had not honed their skills through countless battles to reach their current level.
It can be said that each of them is independent, determined, and mentally strong.
Even death should not frighten them too much.
But for them, losing themselves and becoming puppets, at the mercy of others, is truly more terrifying than death.
In an instant, everyone's gaze toward the people from Suspended Mountain became filled with apprehension.
The monks of Suspended Mountain never expected that Lu Qing would be so knowledgeable about their family's secret Vajra Subduing Demon Formation.
I was startled at first, but then I quickly realized what was happening.
"Amitabha." The Venerable Master Xuanming chanted the Buddha's name again. "You have indeed misunderstood, benefactor."
What we just used was indeed the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation.
However, this formation is not the evil formation that turns people into puppets, as you described.
Conversely, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation is the formation used by my Suspended Mountain to subdue demons.
It can subdue not only evil spirits, but also inner demons.
We had just seen this old gentleman emerge from the sacred pool after gaining enlightenment.
Having gained some insight, and with the aura of merit that only Buddhist practitioners could cultivate on his body, I decided to discuss the Dao with him.
Unexpectedly, during the discussion, we discovered that after the old gentleman comprehended the sacred pool, a demon seemed to be growing in his heart.
Therefore, I made a last-minute decision to use the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation to help this old man subdue his inner demons.
I never imagined that you would misunderstand me, sir. This is truly an offense.
Abbot Xuanming's words were sincere and earnest.
The surrounding powerful figures were taken aback again, and hesitated, unable to determine whether he or Lu Qing was telling the truth.
Seeing that Xuanming could still speak so eloquently even at this level, Lu Qing couldn't help but admire him.
When it comes to shamelessness, these monks on the suspended mountain are the best in the world.
If he hadn't possessed supernatural abilities, he wouldn't have been able to see through the bald monks' intentions immediately.
Even he himself would probably be moved by these words and wonder if he had really misunderstood.
"As expected of an old bald monk who cultivates Buddhism, his shameless ability to distort the truth and reverse right and wrong is probably far beyond what the other three secret places combined can match.
However, even if you can speak eloquently and turn black into white, and the dead into the living, so what?
I've already killed that little bald monk, what can you do about it now?
“Amitabha! This should have been a misunderstanding, but as soon as you arrived, without distinguishing right from wrong, you attacked and killed my disciples from Xuankong Mountain.”
It seems you are like this old gentleman, harboring malevolent thoughts and harboring inner demons without realizing it.
This old monk has a suggestion: if you two benefactors do not mind, why not come with us back to the Suspended Mountain?
With my abilities from the Suspended Mountain, I am confident I can dispel your inner demons and restore your sanity.
Faced with Lu Qing's provocation, Xuan Ming showed no anger on his face, but instead spoke very sincerely.
His expression made it seem as if he truly cared about Lu Qing and the old doctor.
Lu Qing finally understood that this monk from Suspended Mountain was someone who, no matter what, would always make his words sound eloquent and would never suffer any loss of principle.
He shook his head, deciding not to waste any more breath on these people.
He turned to look at the old doctor who had been adjusting his breathing: "Master, how are you feeling now?"
"She's fine now," the old doctor said.
He had been resisting the mental attacks of the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, which greatly depleted his spiritual power.
After escaping, I secretly swallowed two drops of Earth Vein Elixir and, after meditating for so long, finally recovered most of my strength.
Lu Qing nodded: "In that case, let's go."
Without hesitation, the old doctor stood up and walked to Lu Qing's side.
Seeing this, everyone finally understood that Lu Qing had been either crushing Hui Xin to provoke Xuan Nu into attacking, or debating with the people from Xuan Kong Mountain.
All of this was simply to buy time for their master to recover.
"This young man has such a deep mind!"
The powerful figures from the other three secret realms were immediately astonished.
They initially thought that Lu Qing was asking for trouble by debating with the bald monks of Suspended Mountain.
These bald monks are notorious for their eloquence; they can turn black into white and make the unreasonable seem reasonable.
Almost no one can get a verbal advantage from them.
Unexpectedly, while Lu Qing outwardly condemned the actions of the Suspended Mountain, he was actually buying time for his master.
"not good!"
The monks of Suspended Mountain finally realized that they had been tricked by Lu Qing.
The old doctor had been suppressed by their formation for a long time, and then unleashed a powerful move with his sword energy domain, leaving him at his limit.
However, Lu Qing distracted them, and they failed to notice this in time, allowing the old doctor to restore most of their strength.
"Master, let's go."
Although Lu Qing really wanted to kill all the bald monks on the other side.
But that's clearly impossible right now.
Not to mention that the bald monks on the other side were not weak; each of them possessed the strength of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.
Moreover, the other party comes from the Suspended Mountain, one of the four great secret places, so they must have something to rely on.
Unless he really doesn't care about anything and plays all his cards.
Otherwise, whether they can win is another matter entirely.
Moreover, with so many experts around, who knows if someone might try to take advantage of the situation once a fight breaks out.
"Wait!"
Seeing that Lu Qing and the other person were really about to leave, Xuanming could no longer care about chanting Buddhist prayers and shouted urgently.
"What, you old bald monk, you want to stop us?"
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing's eyes sharpened, and he placed his hand on his waist.
An inexplicable aura rose from his body.
At the same time, all the powerful figures present felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.
Suddenly, they felt an extremely terrifying crisis rising in their hearts, which instantly made their scalps tingle.
The monks from Suspended Mountain, led by Xuanming, changed their expressions drastically and stopped in their tracks.
