Chapter 435 Buddha’s Heart
Ling Wanqing heard this and was surprised that this buddhist Saint had fallen for someone from the Demonic Path.
Su Yu spoke up, "This matter has caused quite a stir, and many people have started providing clues about that buddhist Saint."
"That buddhist Saint possesses a Buddha Heart. Everyone laments it, and the world says the buddhist Saint has fallen."
Ling Wanqing heard this and asked, "Who is that woman from the Demonic Path?"
"That woman from the Demonic Path is not simple either; it is said she is the daughter of the Moon Demon Cult leader."
"You know about the Moon Demon Cult; it is an existence not inferior to the Twelve Super Sects."
Ling Wanqing heard this and said, "Is that so? I wonder what the outcome of this matter will be."
At this moment, in a certain place within the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard, everyone gathered together.
They were all discussing the affair of the buddhist Saint; the emergence of such a matter caused them to lose face.
To their Sect, the buddhist Saint is like the Saint of a Holy Land, representing the Sect's public image. Having such a problem arise now is truly a great humiliation.
At this moment, Wu Ming looked at the crowd below, "Alright, since the matter has already happened, it is of no use to dwell on it."
"The main thing is to find the buddhist Saint. Are there any clues about the buddhist Saint now?"
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads, "The buddhist Saint is very likely hiding with the Demonic Path Cultivators."
"A while ago, many people from the Demonic Path were mocking our Miao Zong Chan Courtyard."
Hearing this, Wu Ming said, "Do not worry about outside opinions for now; let's resolve the matter first."
"Increase the search efforts. If it still doesn't work, I will go search for them personally."
Hearing this, the crowd said, "Sect Master, there is no need for you to personally take action."
Wu Ming waved his hand, "It is fine. As the Sect Master of the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard, I must lead by example when something happens to the Sect."
"Alright, now hurry up and find the whereabouts of the buddhist Saint."
Wu Ming looked into the distance, "Is this your choice?"
The scene at the Moon Demon Cult was completely different from that of the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard.
The people of the Moon Demon Cult were very happy; this time, their reputation within the Demonic Path had grown significantly.
Their Moon Demon Cult had actually managed to entice the buddhist Saint to flee the Sect.
It had greatly boosted the prestige of their Demonic Path.
Meanwhile, Awakening Dust of the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard and Green Jade of the Demonic Path Sect, the Moon Demon Cult, were in a remote valley.
In order to escape to this place, both of them had sustained various injuries.
Awakening Dust looked at Green Jade before him. Although Green Jade was a Demonic Path Cultivator, he could feel her innocence and kindness.
The two had met at a small Taoist temple.
At that time, he had inadvertently noticed this woman.
In the days that followed, the two gradually got to know each other and became more familiar with one another.
While spending time with Green Jade, Awakening Dust felt a stirring in his heart that he had never experienced before.
Gradually, Awakening Dust understood his inner feelings. When exploring the Secret Realm, Green Jade was even willing to risk her life to help him.
This also made Awakening Dust truly understand what he needed now.
In the days that followed, Awakening Dust resolutely decided to abandon his status as the buddhist Saint and wanted to leave the Sect.
But because he possessed a Buddha Heart, the Sect certainly would not easily let him go.
They needed to sever this relationship and even injured Green Jade.
Green Jade did not blame him.
Seeing this situation, Awakening Dust used a buddhist Forbidden Art to escape with Green Jade.
This buddhist Forbidden Art was something the people of the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard had not expected.
Awakening Dust had actually cultivated a buddhist Forbidden Art, and this Forbidden Art allowed him and Green Jade to successfully escape for the time being.
Now, the two wanted to go to a place where no one knew them.
To live a stable life like that.
The use of this Forbidden Art left a mark on Awakening Dust.
And he was now extremely weak.
Green Jade supported Awakening Dust, "Brother Dust, are you okay?"
"It's fine, just resting a bit more will do. Now that I can be with you, I am satisfied."
A flash of tears appeared in Green Jade's eyes, "It's all my fault, that's why you've become like this."
"Now you are 'wanted' by everyone; they all want to find you and send you back to the Sect."
Awakening Dust shook his head, "I will not go back there. Only now do I understand that my life shall be chosen by myself."
"Since I have chosen this path, I will not look back."
"Now I just want to live a stable life with you."
Green Jade nodded with tears in her eyes, "Brother Dust, there seems to be a village ahead; let's go there to settle down first."
The two arrived at this village. This village was very remote, and there were no cultivators present.
In this village, everyone was just ordinary villagers.
The people in the village were very simple and honest.
Seeing the arrival of the two, the people in the village welcomed them warmly.
After some time had passed, Awakening Dust felt that these few days were the happiest in his life.
This was something he had never experienced before. From the moment he was born, he was taken to the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard.
He had no joyful childhood; all he had was endless cultivation.
It seemed he couldn't stop for even a moment. In the end, he did become the buddhist Saint, but he understood that something was missing in his heart.
The current situation was what he truly wanted.
Green Jade held Awakening Dust's arm, "If only it could always be like this, but unfortunately, it is going to 'end'."
Awakening Dust nodded, "Yes, if only it could always be like this. We also have to leave here."
Green Jade looked at Awakening Dust, not knowing what she was thinking, but she soon regained her focus.
"Let's leave tomorrow."
"Alright."
During this time, no one had been able to find the whereabouts of Awakening Dust.
Outside, the voices questioning the Miao Zong Chan Courtyard grew louder and louder.
At this moment, Wu Ming looked at the people below, "This time, I will go find them myself. It cannot continue like this; if it continues this way, it will affect the prestige of our Miao Zong Chan Courtyard."
The people below wanted to say something, but Wu Ming waved his hand and disappeared from there.
This matter indeed attracted more and more attention from others, and everyone wanted to know what the outcome of this matter would be.
Some people, wanting to see the spectacle, began to spread some rumors.
Making this matter appear even more 'mysterious.'
Meanwhile, Su Yu had arrived in his own world, and the Taiyin Spirit could also know about external events through Su Yu.
The Taiyin Spirit looked at Su Yu and said, "A Buddha Heart, huh? In the end, it is still lacking a bit of distance. What do you think about this matter?"
Su Yu did not rush to answer.
At this moment, Awakening Dust and the other were already preparing to leave early in the morning.
And at this time, an extremely strong pressure appeared.
The people in the village instantly collapsed one after another, falling into a coma.
Awakening Dust's expression was grave, "No, the Sect Master is here. How did he know I was here? Impossible, the aura on me should have disappeared long ago."
Wu Ming appeared before the two, looking at them below.
"Awakening Dust, you have fallen into confusion. Come back with me."
Awakening Dust looked at the situation; if he used the Forbidden Art again, he might not be able to bear it.
But in this situation, it seemed there was no other way.
Just at this moment, a Demonic Path aura also appeared out of thin air.
Green Jade saw this figure, "My father is here."
The appearance of Qing Li made Wu Ming's expression not very good; he had not expected this guy to appear here.
Qing Li looked below, "Good daughter, this must be that Awakening Dust you spoke of, right? Rest assured, I will fully support you. Leave it to me; you two leave first."
The appearance of Qing Li seemed to bring a turning point.
Su Yu watched the situation over there, "Has it begun?"
