Chapter 2370 Three Magical Weapons

“Sect Master Qian, what are you trying to do now?”

Ximen Jiayin was very clear that all those Elders of Wuliang Temple had died at Ye Bufan’s hands.

Precisely because of this, she had already prepared herself by his side and immediately stepped forward to shield Ye Bufan.

“Sect Master Qian, I’ve already told you, I’m not showing you Elder Zhang.”

Ye Bufan had long anticipated the other party’s reaction, showing no sign of nervousness, and said with a mischievous smile, “Oh, by the way, do you still remember our previous bet? Does this count as our second meeting now?”

Qian Wuji’s expression was so gloomy it seemed like water would drip from it; if he truly followed the previous bet, he would now have to kowtow and retreat three paces.

He glared fiercely at Ye Bufan, then glanced at Ximen Jiayin, let out a cold snort, and turned to leave with the people from Wuliang Temple.

They traveled extremely fast, stopping half an hour later on a small mountain.

Yuan Tiancheng said indignantly, “Sect Leader, that kid simply doesn’t put our Wuliang Temple in his eyes. Are we just going to let this go?”

“Of course, we can’t just let it go, but with Ximen Jiayin protecting him, we can’t do anything to him.”

Qian Wuji’s expression was grim, his body exuding killing intent, “Once I find the right opportunity, I will tear that kid into ten thousand pieces!”

“That’s right, that kid deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces, he’s simply detestable.”

Yuan Tiancheng gritted his teeth, then asked, “Sect Leader, do you suspect that the disappearance of the Elders is related to that kid?”

“It should be!”

Qian Wuji said, “Previously, the Grand Elder and the Third Elder went to kill him, but he’s still alive and well, while the two Elders disappeared.

The Second Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Seventh Elder went to get the golden bell buddha fruit, and they all vanished, but the treasure is in that kid’s hands. There must be something fishy going on.”

Yuan Tiancheng looked puzzled: “But I don’t think it’s very likely. Although that kid is hateful, his cultivation is only at the Body Integration Stage.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder are both at the Late Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm. Even the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder could crush him with one finger. How could they possibly die at his hands?”

“That’s hard to say. We’ll slowly investigate the matter thoroughly.”

Killing intent flashed in Qian Wuji’s eyes: “But no matter the outcome, this kid must die.”

On Tianlong Temple’s side, seeing that the people from Wuliang Temple had left, the others also bid farewell and departed, leaving only Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and Ye Bufan’s group.

Great Master Xuwu invited everyone into Tianlong Temple, then led Ye Bufan and Ximen Jiayin into a quiet room.

After sitting down, Ye Bufan asked, “Great Master, the crisis has been resolved, and the Demon Race has retreated. Why do you seem unhappy?”

Ximen Jiayin was also a bit strange; logically, the old monk should be extremely excited, yet he looked so solemn.

Great Master Xuwu clasped his hands together, his face full of self-reproach.

“Amitabha, this poor monk made a grave mistake today, which may bring another tribulation to Tianqiong State, and even the Kunlun Continent.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Bufan was confused, “Great Master, what exactly happened? Is it that serious?”

Great Master Xuwu said, “Has Medical Immortal ever heard of the Demon Race’s three great Sacred Artifacts?”

“No.”

Ye Bufan shook his head. He knew very little about the Kunlun Continent, and even less about the Demon Race.

Ximen Jiayin took over, “Is Great Master referring to the black demon sail, the blood demon slash, and the Soul-Seizing Demon Bell?”

Great Master Xuwu nodded: “Precisely, these three items, any one of which is immensely powerful.

A hundred years ago, the Demon Lord Black Wuya, relying on these three great Sacred Artifacts, resisted the encirclement of the Five Continents and Thirteen Schools.

He only fell under the combined attack of ten Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts.”

Ximen Jiayin frowned: “I’ve also heard of this legend, but weren’t those three items said to have completely disappeared after the Demon Lord’s demise, or some say they were utterly destroyed?”

“Destroyed? How is that possible!”

Great Master Xuwu said, “These three Sacred Artifacts are of a very high level; any one of them is no less than a Divine Artifact. Even if one wanted to destroy them, it couldn’t be done.”

Ye Bufan seemed to realize something: “Does Great Master mean that what the Demon Race just snatched away was the black demon sail?”

“That’s right, that was the black demon sail, one of the three great Sacred Artifacts.”

Great Master Xuwu sighed and said, “According to the ancient texts of my Tianlong Temple, after the great battle between good and evil a hundred years ago, the Demon Lord perished, the Demon Race completely vanished, and the three great Sacred Artifacts became spoils of war for the various Sects.

The battle at that time was earth-shattering, with countless casualties.

Many experts from the various Sects also perished; just among the Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts, three died and five were injured, which can be said to have been a crippling blow.

After this battle, the various Schools were utterly terrified of these three Sacred Artifacts and wanted to destroy them completely.

However, after countless attempts, they couldn't damage these three items, and in the end, they could only choose to suppress them.”

Ye Bufan asked, “Since these three items are so powerful, why not keep them for your own use?”

“Our Buddhist Sacred Artifacts can only be driven by Buddhist Cultivation Techniques, and the Demon Race’s Sacred Artifacts are the same; no one can use them except for those of the Demon Race.”

Ye Bufan nodded, and Great Master Xuwu continued, “According to our Sect’s ancient texts, the black demon sail, one of the three great Sacred Artifacts, was suppressed beneath the Celestial Buddha Pagoda of my Tianlong Temple.

However, this matter was extremely secretive, known only to successive Sect Leaders.

Half a year passed, and everything was peaceful. I thought this matter had been completely forgotten.

But I never expected the Demon Race to invade in full force today, and from their actions, it seems their original goal was for the black demon sail.”

Ximen Jiayin said, “If Great Master had not used the Celestial Buddha Pagoda today, would they have been unable to take the black demon sail?”

“That’s hard to say. If it weren’t for Medical Immortal Ye and the reinforcements from the various Sects, they would have destroyed my Tianlong Temple and naturally found a way to take the black demon sail.

However, under the circumstances at the time, if I hadn’t used the Celestial Buddha Pagoda, they indeed wouldn’t have been able to take this Sacred Artifact.”

At this point, Great Master Xuwu sighed deeply, his face full of remorse.

“I thought that after a hundred years, the people of the Demon Race wouldn’t know that the black demon sail was in my Tianlong Temple.

Once the Demon Race drives this Sacred Artifact again, the Jianghu will surely be plunged into another bloody storm.

It was this old monk’s carelessness that led to such a grave mistake!”

Ximen Jiayin comforted him, “Great Master, there’s no need to blame yourself too much. This can only be said to be fate.”

“Yes, before this, no one expected the Demon Race to come for this.”

Ye Bufan asked, “Since this black demon sail has such great power, why didn’t Xin Wunu use it on the spot after snatching it, and instead chose to flee?”

Great Master Xuwu said, “As far as I know, Demon Qi, like our Divine Artifacts, needs to recognize a master; not just anyone can use it.

Just like the three great Sacred Artifacts back then, they could only unleash their maximum power when in the hands of the Demon Lord alone.”

Ye Bufan said, “So, even if the Demon Race takes the black demon sail back, they still need to find a suitable master to use it, is that right?”

Great Master Xuwu nodded: “Precisely.”

“If that’s the case, what’s there to worry about? Perhaps they won’t find a suitable candidate for another few hundred years.”

Ye Bufan was focused on how to return to Earth and wasn’t very interested in these matters. After speaking, he asked again, “Great Master, when can you use the art of heavenly secrets to help me investigate something?”
