Chapter 716: Follow me to save people
"Myriad Buddhas Sect?" Gao Fei's eyes widened in disbelief, "What Myriad Buddhas Sect? What is that?"
"The Myriad Buddhas Sect is a reclusive sect with a long heritage and formidable strength," Dongguo Heixin explained. "The sect keeps a low profile and never meddles in worldly affairs. Its disciples rarely venture out, so many people are unaware of its existence." Having said this, Dongguo Heixin added, "I myself discovered the sect by chance, and looking back now... it feels like a dream."
"Why would the Myriad Buddhas Sect capture Shangguan Yunyue!?" Gao Fei's complexion turned dark and fearsome, his eyes flashing with streaks of malevolence.
"It's all because of you," Dongguo Heixin said with a twist of his mouth.
"Because of me?" Gao Fei was taken aback, "Explain yourself! How could it be because of me? What does it have to do with me? I've never dealt with the Myriad Buddhas Sect, nor could I have possibly offended them."
"The last time you were injured, your life was hanging by a thread, and it was difficult to save you even with my medical skill," Dongguo Heixin said. "Later, I told Shangguan Yunyue that the Shariputra of the Myriad Buddhas Sect might save you, so she risked her life to sneak into the sect and steal the Shariputra..."
"What!" Gao Fei's face changed dramatically.
"Shangguan Yunyue really had some ability. She actually succeeded and even stole several Shariputra," Dongguo Heixin praised. "I don't know how she did it..."
"What happened afterward?"
"Shangguan Yunyue rushed to the Divine Doctor Valley and left after giving me the Shariputra; before she left, she specifically instructed me not to tell you about it."
"Did Shangguan Yunyue say anything else?" Gao Fei's expression grew increasingly ugly.
"She said... the masters of the Myriad Buddhas Sect are after her," Dongguo Heixin recounted everything he knew, "She was afraid of getting me involved, so she left the Shariputra and departed from the Divine Doctor Valley."
"And then? Have you seen her after that?" Gao Fei asked.
"No," Dongguo Heixin shook his head. "After that, I never saw her again."
Gao Fei's face was somber, his tone very cold, "So, it's very likely that Shangguan Yunyue was captured by the masters of the Myriad Buddhas Sect?"
"It's also possible she was killed by the masters of the Myriad Buddhas Sect," Dongguo Heixin sighed.
"Impossible!" Gao Fei roared, "Shangguan Yunyue is definitely not dead! She can't be!!!"
"Calm down, I was just saying it offhand," Dongguo Heixin quickly said, "Shangguan Yunyue has great fortune; she must still be alive, certainly still alive."
"You bastard!" Gao Fei pointed at Dongguo Heixin's nose and cursed, "Why didn't you tell me sooner! If anything happens to Shangguan Yunyue, I'll make sure you're buried with her!"
"You... you're being unreasonable... it was Shangguan Yunyue who didn't let me tell you..."
"Stop making excuses! You better pray that nothing happened to Shangguan Yunyue, or else, I'll make your death very ugly!"
"...I saved your life..."
"I've saved your life too! We're even now!"
"Fine, we're even! From now on, let's go our separate ways and not bother each other," Dongguo Heixin huffed and turned to leave.
"Stop!" Gao Fei barked, "You can't leave before we find Shangguan Yunyue."
Upon hearing this, Dongguo Heixin became agitated, "You're being completely unreasonable! Shangguan Yunyue offended the Myriad Buddhas Sect to save you; what does that have to do with me? Why are you taking it out on me? Do you even have a conscience?"
"I am being unreasonable! What can you do about it!"
"You... you... you..."
"Guards, take Dongguo Heixin into custody. Without my order, he is not to step out of the room," Gao Fei commanded.
"Whoosh!"
A group of guards rushed in and escorted Dongguo Heixin outside.
"You can't do this to me! You can't! I'm the one who saved your life! Besides, what does this have to do with me? Even if Shangguan Yunyue met with misfortune, it's all because of you. If it wasn't for saving you, she wouldn't have stolen the Shariputra or offended the Myriad Buddhas Sect. You are the root cause of all this! It's you!!!" Dongguo Heixin shouted at the top of his lungs.
Gao Fei clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot, his expression extremely ferocious.
He Hentian came over and patted Gao Fei on the shoulder, "Calm down! The situation may not be as serious as you think."
Gao Fei took a deep breath, then turned to look at He Hentian, "I need your help!"
"Speak!" He Hentian nodded, "What do you want me to do?"
"Gather the troops, I want to demand someone from Myriad Buddhas Sect."
"No problem."
"Thank you!"
"You're my friend, it's only right that I help you."
...
More than ten days flew by in an instant.
In the early morning, when the air was at its freshest.
Myriad Buddhas Sect, a group of young monks carrying buckets and brooms began to clean. These young monks moved skillfully and in perfect harmony, sweeping through several courtyards in no time. After cleaning all the courtyards, they proceeded to sweep the steps and the mountain gate.
As they reached the mountain gate, they were suddenly stunned.
"Good heavens! Am I seeing things? Why are there so many people outside the mountain gate?"
"You're not seeing things, there really are a lot of people!"
"Densely packed and endless at a glance, at least tens of thousands, right?"
"Tens of thousands? At the very least hundreds of thousands! Maybe even more!"
"Their clothes are very distinctive..."
"Let's go, we need to tell our master quickly..."
The group of young monks dropped their buckets and brooms and ran off in a hurry.
...
Outside the mountain gate.
Gao Fei stood on a huge boulder, looking up at Myriad Buddhas Sect, his gaze extremely cold, "We've been discovered."
"Who would have thought that hidden in this deep mountain forest was a Super Sect, quite impressive," He Hentian exclaimed, "How many things in this world are still unknown to us?"
"The world is vast, there are many things we don't know," Gao Fei said indifferently.
"This time I mobilized a million-strong army, all elite troops. With one order, this million-strong army will charge and annihilate Myriad Buddhas Sect," He Hentian declared arrogantly.
"Don't underestimate the enemy," Gao Fei shook his head, "Dongguo Heixin has said that Myriad Buddhas Sect has a long heritage and formidable strength. It might be difficult for a million-strong army to instantly destroy Myriad Buddhas Sect."
"Don't dampen our spirits by exaggerating their strength," He Hentian retorted.
"I'm just speaking the truth. Myriad Buddhas Sect gives me an unusual feeling," Gao Fei said with a solemn expression, "From this distance, I can feel an oppressive sensation so intense that I'm struggling to breathe... Don't you feel it?"
"Not at all. I don't feel anything," He Hentian shook his head, "Are you having an illusion? I know you're worried about Shangguan Yunyue, but that doesn't mean you should have illusions."
"Really an illusion?" Gao Fei furrowed his brows, "Why is this feeling so strong?" If it wasn't an illusion, then why couldn't He Hentian feel it?
