Chapter 293: Temple Rain Night

ng, don't let them get away!""Got it!"Sun Wang immediately flashed his body and went to pursue the three fleeing zombie dogs.At this point, the search party finally began to assess the casualties. The...The air was getting increasingly humid. In the pitch-black night sky, dark clouds churned and obscured the moon and stars. Distant thunder rumbled closer, accompanied by a low "rumble."

Drizzles began to fall, pitter-pattering on the ground. It was a prelude to an unsettling night. The rain and thunder brought with them riders galloping on horseback. Each wore rainproof hoods, their eyes fixed on the dilapidated temple ahead.

The ripples had opened a simple shield, keeping the light rain out, and Haina's monk's robe was dry.

The sound of hooves accompanied by the neighing of horses finally came to a stop in front of the temple. The leader lightly kicked his horse's belly, and the horse led its master to the front, restless with its ringing nose and uneasy hooves tapping.

"Are you the young lady from the Wu family"

"Is that so I wonder what advice esteemed sir has for me"

"Lose your wealth to escape disaster, hand over the treasure Wu Youcai left you, and I'll spare your life."

The other party is extremely arrogant.

The raindrops are also becoming more frequent now, changing from a light drizzle to a moderate rain, and showing signs of increasing intensity.

"Sir, do I look that easy to fool I'm afraid if I give you what you want, I'll be dead in an instant."

Liàn Yī directly shook her head.

"Hmph! Then you just watch the people around you die one by one because of you, see how long you can last!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he drew his sword with a flash.

"Leave only this woman, kill the rest!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He kicked the horse's belly and was about to charge forward. The rainy night was their best cover, it would clean away their traces. He felt like God was helping them.

Unfortunately, the next moment was slapped in the face. Those horses stood up, but they didn't dare to charge towards where Ripples was, as if there were a ferocious beast there. Not only that, these horses were also fidgeting and retreating.

The crack of the whip fell on deaf ears, failing to change the horses' minds.

"Abandon the horse!"

At the leader's command, these fifty or so men dismounted and charged forward, swords drawn.

"The horses are smarter than all of you!"

Ripples spoke in a soft voice, then raised her hand and drew a circle. The falling raindrops stopped mid-air. Then she flicked her jade finger again, and thousands of raindrops turned into needles, stabbing towards the man who was swinging his sword.

"Poof, poof, poof," the sound went on incessantly. In just three breaths' time, everyone except the leader was dead on the ground.

Only then did the leader realize something was amiss. He turned around to see his comrade lying on the ground. Then, he glanced back at the young lady from the Wu family, who was walking towards him slowly. He instinctively gripped his sword with both hands and took a step back, swallowing nervously before managing to stammer,

What do you want to do

"Aren't you going to kill me"

With a clang, the leader's knife fell to the ground. His hands seemed pierced by something, blood welling up and mixing with the rain, staining the puddle beneath his feet red in an instant.

"Spare my life, Miss! Spare my life!"

All the leaders knelt down. He had never seen such a powerful enemy who could wipe them out in an instant. He didn't want to die, so he could only beg for mercy.

"Who sent you"

"I don't know! We only take jobs through middlemen."

“Taking on the job of killing and robbing”

Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

Yes yes

At this moment, the woman in front of him was like the Grim Reaper in the leader's eyes, taking lives. He knew now they had stumbled onto a hornet's nest and all he wanted was to survive and return. Only by living could he seek revenge.

This idea only flashed through his mind, and the next moment he fell straight to the ground in the rain, a red mark on his brow.

"Amitabha!"

Hai Na, who had watched the whole process from the side, let out a Buddha's name. Tonight was dangerous; if it weren't for this Miss Wu's intervention, he and his young disciple would likely have been buried with the temple.

The sky seemed to sense the killing here, shifting billowing black clouds directly above Ripples' head. A rumble of thunder accompanied by a flash of lightning struck Ripples.

"Looks like my chance has arrived."

The ripples swayed their sleeves, moving the corpses on the ground aside, then directly sat down cross-legged, firmly catching the falling lightning bolt.

Lightning entered her body, ripples immediately activated the cultivation technique. Combining with the power of lightning, she compressed the spiritual energy within her body, transforming the gaseous spiritual energy in her dantian into a liquid state, helping her enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Li Ri converged his aura. He rose to his feet, and with a flick of his hand, countless sparks rained down, instantly turning the corpses on the ground into ashes. With another wave of his sleeve, the ashes scattered in the wind, vanishing without a trace.

"Amitabha! Congratulations, female Bodhisattva, on your improved skill!"

"Congratulations, these horses are compensation from those wicked people who disturbed the purity of Buddhism. Master must accept them."

Ripple smiled and said.

Immediately waving his sleeves, the tightly shut door finally swung open, and Keikong and Sakura ran out. And then, there was nothing more.

"Rose, help me go to rest!"

Yes, miss!

Luo Ying Fox suspiciously glanced outside. She had just distinctly heard the man's shouts, how could there be no one here now

"Master!"

Jie Kong ran to Haina's side, looking up and down. Finding that his master was unharmed, he then looked at the horses pacing at the door.

"Empty, bring these horses into the courtyard."

"Yes, Master!"

Jì kōng immediately excitedly ran towards the horses, not caring that the water on the ground splashed his robes wet.

Lianshan returned to her room to consolidate her cultivation. After a night of practice, her complexion became even more beautiful, and the dazzling aura around her grew richer.

Early Rising Ripple went out specially, setting up illusions and maze arrays around the temple, protecting the entire temple.

I got someone's Buddhist prayer beads as a gift, and took the opportunity to advance to the foundation-building stage. This is considered a return gift.

Everyone rested surprisingly well that night. After breakfast, they were all ready to go. Ripple handed her pouch to the young monk Jiekong, and said with a smile:

"Master Jiekong, this is the incense money I donated. Thank you for taking me in last night."

"The female bodhisattva politely said, 'If you need help, please feel free to come to my Yunyin Temple at any time.'"

After bidding farewell to each other, Lianyi boarded the carriage and continued her journey towards the capital.

Li Guan and Li Pozi finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on them. They had both believed there was something fishy about the temple, and they had spent half the night worrying about it, but nothing happened in the end, except for the thunder being a bit louder at night.

Li Pozi mumbled something in her mouth, unintentionally glanced back, and the next instant, her face turned pale. She grabbed Li Guan Shi's wrist beside her and shook it vigorously.

Li Guan was pinched, his brows furrowed in pain. He strained to shake it off but couldn't. He raised his head to yell when he saw Li Po's face turn ashen. She pointed at the back of him, motioning for him to look.

He suddenly turned around, his back hairs standing on end, because the temple that had sheltered them last night was gone! Yes, it was gone!

The original site of the temple was a flat expanse, with only protruding rocks and ashen vegetation. It was utterly barren.

He mechanically turned his head and met Li Po's gaze. The two of them supported each other, shuffling along with their slightly weak legs, trying their best to keep up with the carriage. They didn't look back.

"Master, why are those two people so frightened Was it Jie Kong who scared them"

The young monk touched his shiny head, asking with a hint of confusion.

"Amitabha Buddha! Let's go do morning prayers!" outcome regarding his disciple."Father, Yun Ru Bin isn't a good person. He takes advantage of your position and often receives more cultivation resources than he deserves. Du Li has had many of her c...
