Chapter 1135: Chapter 771: Cannibal Buddha_2
At this moment, the person who went to check the West Courtyard also returned, saying there were two bodies, a man and a woman, both elderly.
No need to ask, they must be the girl’s parents. This group is truly ruthless.
"What’s going on here?" Yang Xiao found Tai Wenqin, "Do you know them?"
"The people they’re looking for is that girl, she’s fine now, you can rest easy."
After dealing with Yang Xiao, Tai Wenqin called the store owner, gave him some money, and asked him to bring a doctor.
After all, there were still goods upstairs, so Yang Xiao had to suppress his discontent and return to the room with Professor Cui.
"Little Yang, don’t blame Tai Wenqin, he’s right. If you had killed that person today, it might have caused trouble," Professor Cui poured him a cup of tea, then sat across from him, "That person is from the Dharma Sect."
"The Dharma Sect from the strongest four families of Yin Temple?"
"Yes, them. This is their territory," Professor Cui couldn’t help but sigh, "For this journey, we must focus on the bigger picture. When the member who suffered difficulty returns, I will personally apply for preferential compensation for him and take care of his parents and family."
"Members of the Dharma Sect usually wear white, that’s their characteristic. The other three families also have distinct attire. For example, the Blood Sect, to which the High Priest of Yin Temple belongs, wears red, and the Esoteric Sect wears yellow. If one day you meet someone in multicolored clothes, they are most likely from the Exoteric Sect."
"This Bangshu Town is under the jurisdiction of the Dharma Sect and is one of its ten most important temple cities. They have built an auxiliary temple here, which can be understood as a sub-temple or branch."
"The head of the Dharma Sect has a nickname, known as the White Robe Dharma King, and he is stationed in the main city. Under him are nine White Robe Venerables, all of whom are powerful high-rank apostles, each guarding one temple city. Bangshu Town also has one White Robe Venerable."
"They practice a union of state and religion. The White Robe Venerable of Bangshu Town is not only the temple master of the Dharma Sect auxiliary temple but also the City Lord of Bangshu Town. It can be said that life and death power are in his hands."
"They are different from us. At least in our Patrol Defense Office, we have the United Federation and the Chamber of Commerce to balance things out, so we usually do not overstep and have to be reasonable. But they don’t; they are the sole rulers of this land." Professor Cui patiently explained.
"I understand what you mean; everything should focus on the mission, and I should not provoke them." Yang Xiao understood this principle.
"Hmm." Professor Cui nodded, continuing, "There is no unity within the Yin Temple. Take the Dharma Sect, for instance. They have always been at odds with the neighboring Esoteric Sect, openly fighting and covertly scheming over these years, causing significant losses on both sides. Even when the High Priest of Yin Temple tried to mediate, the results were minimal."
"The Esoteric Sect is also a major force, with an overall strength not inferior to the Dharma Sect. However, this lineage is very conservative, has strict rules, is highly xenophobic, and has very little contact with our country."
"The Chamber of Commerce once tried to establish a connection with the Esoteric Sect for business, but it is unknown if there was a communication issue or some misunderstanding occurred, the delegation they sent was killed by the Esoteric Sect."
"That’s not all; their heads were cut off and pinned on stakes, placed right on the border between the Esoteric Sect and the Dharma Sect. That team was even led by a Netherworld-level Apostle."
"Quite ruthless, but can the Chamber of Commerce swallow this anger?" Yang Xiao found the Chamber of Commerce somewhat cowardly.
"Swallow or not, they must. The Chamber of Commerce doesn’t care about face or such vanity, only profits.",
Professor Cui shook his head, continuing, "Of course, there is another important reason, the head of the Esoteric Sect is a very terrifying figure, he has a nickname, called the Cannibal Buddha."
"He is acknowledged as the number one expert in the Esoteric Sect in a hundred years. He reached the Netherworld Realm in his early thirties, and at the age of 40, he fought three well-known Netherworld-level Apostles alone, stripping them completely to bare bones."
"If it weren’t for the current head of the Blood Sect being excessively powerful, he would likely have occupied the position of High Priest at the Yin Temple now."
"Furthermore, the key point is that this person is still very young, reportedly less than 50 years old, and his future achievements are immeasurable."
"Truly terrifying..." Yang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh.
The life experience of such a formidable warrior was invigorating just to hear. Yang Xiao instinctively compared this person with the Opera Robe Ghost in his heart, wondering who was stronger or weaker.
Seeing Yang Xiao’s interest, Professor Cui told him that the territory of the Esoteric Sect borders that of the Dharma Sect; if one travels north for tens of kilometers, they will reach the territory of the Esoteric Sect.
"But it’s very dangerous there. This group is inherently unreasonable; if you infiltrate their territory through the territory of their rival, the Dharma Sect, and get caught, there’s only one outcome."
"Death." Yang Xiao said succinctly.
Professor Cui frowned, his face becoming more serious, his voice lowered, "Death would be the best outcome. The people of the Esoteric Sect are very adept at dealing with those sinister things. Their Artifact Refining Technique and secret medicine skills are top-notch."
"If an ordinary person falls into their hands, they would just be directly killed and die swiftly, but if it’s an Apostle, they might be taken apart bit by bit to make full use of everything."
Yang Xiao found such words familiar. He suddenly thought of killing the Elder of Pingzong Building, who had said similar things, boasting about using his body as materials.
"No wonder Master Uncle is so fearful of these people in the Yin Temple; this lineage has numerous experts, and their methods are abnormal, interpreting malice and cruelty to the extreme." Yang Xiao murmured in his heart.
Professor Cui naturally did not know what Yang Xiao was thinking. After a brief silence, he suddenly spoke mysteriously, "Little Yang, do you know Yin Temple was initially called the Five-Color Sect?"
"Because at that time, the most influential were not the four families but five families among the hundreds of tribes in the Yin Temple."
"Five families?" Yang Xiao was surprised.
"Yes, besides the Blood Sect, Esoteric Sect, Dharma Sect, and Exoteric Sect, there was also the Du Sect."
"The representative color of this lineage is black: red, yellow, white, colored, and black, these were the five families of the Yin Temple, which is why it was called the Five-Color Sect, " Professor Cui explained.
"What about the Du Sect now? Did the other four families jointly eliminate them?" Yang Xiao thought it was entirely possible given these people’s viciousness.
"Partly. Back then, in the fight for the position of Yin Temple High Priest, the Du Sect rivaled fiercely with the Blood Sect, but the experts of the Blood Sect were more skilled. The current High Priest of Yin Temple killed the head of the Du Sect, and the remaining experts of the Du Sect took their clansmen and fled, traveling eastward."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao suddenly realized, "Traveling east means heading towards our territory, doesn’t it?"
Hearing this, Professor Cui nodded, "That’s correct; they entered our country and merged with a force inside our country."
At this point, Professor Cui looked at Yang Xiao, his gaze suggesting, "Think about it, which force in our country can incorporate these sinister individuals?"
Yang Xiao fell into a brief thought, first considering that renowned sects were—
Vi watching about ticket office issuing vi picking Lasa MVi Soraka vi who big V oh pretty souv pretty card dead ov fat cough ohv pick, fear ov class big V oh come class big V oh afraid of four holes.
Yang Xiao was startled, realizing that although Professor Cui wasn’t a master, the extensive knowledge he possessed was undoubtedly a tremendous asset. Even Nalan Shuo hadn’t told him these things.
