Chapter 2605: Chapter 2606: A Sigh

Li Yongnian and the others shivered; they hadn’t expected such an arrangement.

In comparison, Li Yongnian and the others’ thoughts were as innocent as little angels.

“Uncle Master, isn’t this a bit too much?”

“What’s wrong with it? If you don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll come back next time.”

“But…”

“If you’re too scared to act, then just stand aside.”

Saying that, Lin Yi turned his focus to Sun Liqiang and the others.

“Would you like to lie down by yourselves, or should I do it for you?”

“You, you don’t go too far!”

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze fixed on Sun Liqiang.

“I’ll give you three seconds.”

“Damn! Even if I’m lying here, let’s see what you can do to me! If you’ve got the guts, just kill me, damn it, let’s see if you’re that bold!”

“Ha…” Lin Yi chuckled, “The way you say that, it’s like I’ve never killed anyone before.”

Saying that, Lin Yi raised his leg and kicked Sun Liqiang!

Powerless to resist, he was kicked to the concrete pavement like a ball!

“Cough cough cough—”

Sun Liqiang clutched his chest, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, and couldn’t stand up no matter how hard he tried.

“Senior Brother!”

Zheng Sen shouted loudly, but Sun Liqiang was too pained to respond.

The pain of broken bones was too much for him to bear.

In the pitch-black night, Lin Yi stood high above, his voice icy and clear.

“He’s lying down over there already. Will you go over by yourselves, or should I assist you?”

Hiss—

Zheng Sen and the others gasped, “No, no… We’ll go over by ourselves…”

The five of them stumbled over.

Lin Yi didn’t idle around. He poured the prepared cement slurry over the road, drowning their bodies, leaving only their heads out, as if they were buried alive.

“Li Yongnian.” Lin Yi called out.

“Yes, Uncle Master.”

“Stay here and watch. Once the cement hardens, you can go back to sleep.”

“Un-understood…”

This kind of method, not only frightened Sun Liqiang, but also Li Yongnian and the others.

It was too ruthless!

Stretching lazily, Lin Yi put his hands in his pockets and leisurely walked up the mountain.

At this moment, a black silhouette appeared at the Blessed Land Gate of Shangqing Palace.

The night wind rustled his clothes and carried away his sigh, as he turned and left.

…

In the year or so after the road was destroyed, although the area of Zhengyi Temple didn’t expand, the buildings inside increased significantly.

And the number of Daoist priests in the temple reached over a hundred, thrice that of Shangqing Palace.

At sunrise, morning bells sounded within the temple.

Upon hearing the bell, all the temple’s disciples gathered together.

This was the rule of Zhengyi Temple, conducting twenty minutes of morning practice daily, which meant meditating.

Standing at the forefront was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a Daoist robe, with a hair bun, weathered face, and a stern demeanor.

His name was Zhou Jin, the abbot of Zhengyi Temple.

Before he became abbot, the incense offerings here weren’t as prosperous as those at Shangqing Palace.

Because, in the minds of common people, Shangqing Palace was the orthodox one.

But after he took office, within a few short years, Zhengyi Temple’s incense surpassed Shangqing Palace’s, with even a tendency to replace it.

One could say that Zhengyi Temple’s achievements today are owed to Zhou Jin’s great contribution.

“Why are there a few people missing?” Standing in front of the main hall, Zhou Jin sternly asked.

The crowd glanced at each other, and a short Daoist priest said:

“Master, yesterday Senior Brother Sun and the others planned to go to Shangqing Palace, but it seems they haven’t returned.”

“Haven’t returned?”

Zhou Jin’s expression turned colder; he was aware of this matter, in fact, it was his idea.

But such a thing can be resolved within half an hour; it shouldn’t be that they haven’t returned by dawn.

Especially since they already had experience before, the whole situation seemed odd.

“Master Zhou, Master Zhou!”

At this moment, shouts were heard.

Everyone looked toward the direction of the voice and saw a man in his fifties riding an electric tricycle, approaching from not far away.

The middle-aged man was a local vegetable farmer, responsible for supplying food to Zhengyi Temple daily.

“Master Ma.” Zhou Jin greeted.

“No good, something’s happened!” The man, referred to as Master Ma, got off the vehicle, shouting:

“On my way here, I saw your Zhengyi Temple’s Master Sun buried in the cement road. Go take a look quickly; if you’re any later, it will be fatal.”

“What? Buried in the cement road?”

The people of Zhengyi Temple were shocked; they never imagined such a thing would happen.

“He’s really buried; go take a look quickly.”

Sensing something was wrong, Zhou Jin’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said:

“Come with me, let’s take a look!”

Zhou Jin led several people, hurriedly leaving Zhengyi Temple and heading towards Shangqing Palace.

Upon reaching the mountain road intersection, they saw the people buried in the cement road.

In shock and disbelief!

They couldn’t fathom who could be so ruthless to do such a thing!

“Quick, get them out!”

The people of Zhengyi Temple rushed over.

They grabbed the tools scattered on the roadside, forcibly breaking the road open and rescuing the people.

“What happened exactly!” Zhou Jin asked.

“Master, Shangqing Palace found someone very skilled; we were no match for him, all got defeated, then were buried here,” Sun Liqiang said weakly.

“Found someone?!”

“That person is very skilled; we couldn’t beat him.”

Zhou Jin frowned, speaking softly: “Enough talk, send them to the hospital first!”

“Understood.”

Zhou Jin’s junior brother, Liu Peng, said.

About an hour later, Sun Liqiang and the others were settled.

Although injured, none were seriously hurt.

Sitting in the hospital room, Zhou Jin remained silent.

A few days ago, when he had dinner with Chen Yuanxing, he mentioned that Shangqing Palace had recruited a very skilled person, but Zhou Jin hadn’t taken it to heart.

Unexpectedly, he suffered a setback in this regard.

“Master, that person’s skills are excellent and very ruthless. If we don’t deal with him, we’ll suffer in the future; we must think ahead,” Sun Liqiang said seriously.

“But the problem is, so many of us couldn’t defeat just one person; it’s likely hard to handle,” Liu Peng said.

Sun Liqiang remained silent, acknowledging the problem.

The people of Zhengyi Temple all looked at Zhou Jin, hoping he could come up with a solution.

Otherwise, Zhengyi Temple’s incense offerings would be threatened.

But Zhou Jin appeared very calm, not anxious at all, saying:

“It’s simple; call the police and have him arrested.”
