Chapter 1293: Chapter 850: Black Buddha Mother
Facing the torture that he never succumbed to, Bo Yetong was genuinely afraid this time. He shouted loudly, and just as he was about to be surrounded by Puppet Ghosts, Yang Xiao maneuvered the Mirror Ghost to save him.
Yang Xiao then made him stand on his head in place, and the effect was immediate. Those Puppet Ghosts who had been intent on killing Bo Yetong just a second ago suddenly lost their target and scattered chaotically in place, aimlessly wandering about.
"What a great thing!!" Looking at the black jar on the ground, Yang Xiao’s eyes lit up.
Based on its capabilities, Yang Xiao aptly named it the Ghost Fog Bottle.
He already knew how to utilize this thing. He didn’t plan to reclaim it, but decided to leave the Ghost Fog Bottle in the Mirror World as a defensive weapon.
As his strength grew, the enemies he faced became increasingly powerful, and his Mirror World had been invaded more than once.
Now with the Ghost Fog Bottle, it’s like he added another layer of insurance to his Mirror World.
According to Yang Xiao’s estimation, even an Angel Envoy of Upper Ghost Level or even Peak of Ghost Level strength, if unable to find the trick, would be killed by the roaming Puppet Ghosts within 20 minutes.
If he and the Mirror Ghost were there to assist, then the intruder would be even less likely to survive.
The Gu Sect really did him a big favor.
In view of the bottle, Yang Xiao had the Mirror Ghost return Bo Yetong, sticking him back onto the wall, while leaving the Mirror World upside down himself.
In fact, he wanted to open the two silver briefcases from the Gu Sect to see what was inside; surely good stuff. But thinking about the Gu Sect’s insidious means, he decided to wait until the old martial artist Sheng Yanlin returned.
If not for the situation with Elder Kunpa, Yang Xiao originally planned to seek help from the Esoteric Sect, but now it seems it’s better to let it go.
Without the Cannibal Buddha’s return, he couldn’t quite trust those guys.
Leaving the Mirror World and returning to his residence in reality, Yang Xiao sighed, collapsed onto the bed, and had to admit, he was truly exhausted.
Before sleeping, for some reason, he looked around, always feeling like something was missing.
After thinking for a full minute, he suddenly realized it was the lack of human presence inside the house; those two girls who served him were not there.
After this period of interaction, without their chatter in the house, Yang Xiao still felt a bit uncomfortable.
He walked to the door, opened it, and immediately a night guard came over, inquiring about Yang Xiao’s request. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Yang Xiao was direct, asking him to find the steward and bring two girls over. He indeed couldn’t recall their names, he indicated he wanted the same two as before.
A guard took the order and went; Yang Xiao returned to the room, and shortly after, two girls were brought by the guard. Seeing Yang Xiao back, the expressions on the girls’ faces were clearly more lively, and their eyes became more spirited.
Evidently, these two girls from an alien race were quite fond of Yang Xiao too. He didn’t bully people, and had generously given them gold. They had never even heard of such kindness.
As per the old rule, the girls slept on the thick blanket on the floor while Yang Xiao shared a quilt with them; he himself slept on the bed.
Perhaps capturing Bo Yetong had resolved his worries, and Yang Xiao slept extraordinarily soundly that night.
Early the next morning, just after having breakfast with the two girls, voices were heard from outside, followed by a guard coming to report that Professor Cui had arrived.
Yang Xiao waved to let the girls leave and invited Professor Cui in.
Having not seen him for many days, Professor Cui was relieved to see Yang Xiao was well.
Meanwhile, he secretly revealed a bombshell to Yang Xiao, "Little Yang, do you know why the Cannibal Buddha and experts from the other three sects are urgently summoned to meet?"
"Why?" Yang Xiao instantly perked up, as he had always been curious about this matter.
Professor Cui’s face turned serious as he whispered, "The Black Buddha Mother Sect’s people have arrived and infiltrated the Yin Temple’s territory, creating quite a stir."
"Black Buddha Mother..." At the mention of these three words, Yang Xiao instinctively felt pressured. Since becoming an Apostle, this name had been renowned.
The prestige of the Head of Ten Thousand Religions is not a joke; the sect is filled with experts, and the Black Buddha Mother herself is extremely mysterious, comparable to the top skill level of our Patrol General Director.
In the world, there are seven and a half top experts, and the Black Buddha Mother Sect alone holds one and a half; claiming to be the strongest is not an exaggeration.
As if realizing something, Professor Cui’s expression also darkened, "These guys are terrifying. In one night, they wiped out a branch of the Yin Temple Alliance’s forces."
"This branch is called the Poison Sect. Its overall strength was significantly stronger than the Gu Sect that you raided. Among the more than a hundred forces of the Yin Temple, its power was mid-to-upper level."
"The Poison Sect rose through the mastery of poisons, ruling a town, with hundreds of Apostles under its command. The Poison Sect’s High Priest was a Half-step Netherworld Level expert, holding a position among the many experts of the Yin Temple. Yet in one night, the Black Buddha Mother wiped them out; anyone in the town was gone that night."
"Who came?" Yang Xiao asked hurriedly. No wonder the Four Great Families of the Yin Temple, along with the Dharma Sect and the Esoteric Sect, paused their disputes, as everyone was faced against the Black Buddha Mother.
"I don’t know, but it’s definitely a master, and among masters, an exceptionally high one. I heard the Yin Temple High Priest, Esoteric Cannibal Buddha, White Robe Dharma King from the Dharma Sect, and the head of the Exoteric Sect all brought people there. Even more than a hundred other forces under the Yin Temple’s command sent their experts. The Yin Temple is revealing all their cards, determined to keep the opponent there."
Yang Xiao slowly nodded, thinking to himself, no wonder the Gu Sect’s guards were lax this time, most of their masters went to provide support; it seems he hit the jackpot. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The Yin Temple isn’t a bunch of trash; anyone who warrants a full-force response from them, even if the Black Buddha Mother doesn’t personally intervene, is definitely of significant status.
Counting on one’s fingers, it’s just those few—either the Black Buddha Mother herself or the three notoriously fierce demons under her command.
Oh no, now there’s only two left, as the Little Saint White Buddha’s Protective Magical Artifact is in his possession.
The other two are reportedly even more troublesome than the Little Saint White Buddha. The first one, Great Joyful Red Lotus Buddha, allegedly possesses peak Netherworld-level strength. Even the previous Dean of Yiling Academy, Sheng Yanlin, who was known for considering himself superior to others, visibly feared when mentioning him.
The other demon is named Half Compassion Purple Body Buddha, rumored to have dual personalities, known for leveling a provincial headquarters of the United Federation with a ghostly wail, committing countless atrocities.
Of course, speaking of strength alone, another must be counted—the Life Demanding Monk, known as half human, half ghost.
Though the Life Demanding Monk is with the Black Buddha Mother Sect, he’s not a believer of Black Buddha Mother. Even from this point alone, one can see his power and confidence.
Yang Xiao has met this person; they cooperated quite well during a nightmare mission, and he had helped Yang Xiao.
Though rumors in the world of martial arts say this person can take a life with a mere lift of a hand, Yang Xiao feels this person isn’t the type to wipe out an entire clan.
Overall, it’s one of these four, or possibly multiple, that prompted the Yin Temple to send out its experts to deal with.
Yang Xiao doesn’t want to see a conflict between the Yin Temple and the Black Buddha Mother Sect. After all, if it turns into a fight to the bitter end, many experts of the Yin Temple will be lost.
Though this is the Yin Temple’s territory, and the Yin Temple High Priest is present, theoretically, they shouldn’t fear even the true form of the Black Buddha Mother, as they both are top-notch experts on the same level.
But that’s only theoretically; after killing someone, no one would remain in place waiting for the opponent to retaliate. If it were Yang Xiao, he’d have run away long ago, fighting while constantly moving, and with the opponent’s experts scattered, he might even score some hits, bleeding them a bit.
Yang Xiao understands this well; the former Sect Master of Yu Yuan Sect got away in this exact manner.
In order to catch him, the Patrol Defense Office also dispatched many experts, including Netherworld-level Apostles, and alongside experts from the Ru Lin Academy, the force was not only formidable but enough to crush the heavily wounded Sect Master several times over, yet he still escaped.
Capturing someone, especially when they’ve reached a certain level of expertise, isn’t easy; it can’t be achieved by mere show of strong power.
Yang Xiao’s main concern now is the Esoteric Sect facing severe damage, especially regarding the safety of Cannibal Buddha.
"Uncle, do you know why Black Buddha Mother is causing trouble for the Yin Temple?"
This question is crucial. Although the Black Buddha Mother is strong, it’s unlikely they’d casually provoke a powerful force like the Yin Temple without reason.
But regarding this, Professor Cui couldn’t provide an answer. After all, both of them aren’t significant figures, knowing little about the grudges between top forces.
Especially with the recent news blackout, leaving them completely in the dark.
"Let’s wait until Dean Sheng returns; he’ll surely know the details behind this matter."
Professor Cui sighed, as Sheng Yanlin was called upon, probably related to this conflict. With his knowledge, he could help somewhat.
Now Yang Xiao has more people to worry about; he doesn’t want Sheng Yanlin to be in trouble.
Through this period of interaction, their friendship has grown significantly, transforming from initial cooperation and exploitation to a relationship akin to teacher and friend.
And Sheng Yanlin’s previous act of rushing out to save him was something Yang Xiao held dearly.
"By the way, Uncle, how are Sui and Tai Wenqin?" Yang Xiao suddenly thought, these two were injured helping him seek revenge; he couldn’t ignore them.
Professor Cui nodded, sending a reassuring look, "Don’t worry, I’ve visited them, and the Esoteric Sect is treating them; they’re not in serious danger."
"That’s good." Yang Xiao felt slightly relieved.
Then Professor Cui inquired about Yang Xiao’s actions, and Yang Xiao recounted his encounter at the Gu Sect’s headquarters to him. On hearing he had captured someone, Professor Cui nodded repeatedly, also reminding Yang Xiao to keep a close watch, ensuring no mishaps occur.
"Don’t worry, Uncle, I’ll keep an eye out." Yang Xiao didn’t disclose how he had roughened up Bo Yetong, unwilling to ruin his image as a kind-hearted kid in Professor Cui’s eyes.
Actually, for most of his life, Yang Xiao considered himself a good person.
Only when he swung the Ghost Bamboo Stick to forcibly absolve the opponent would he waver a little.
He wants to be a good person; they forced him otherwise.
