Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Damn, He Betrayed Us?

I thought it would be quick.

But the result…

More than three hours passed, and it was already noon.

Jin Yuanxiang finally returned.

Seeing Jin Yuanxiang exhausted and panting, Cen Yunuo couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Jin, what happened to you, why are you so out of breath?”

Consider this.

This Liaodong Celestial Gang trains the body.

As the Taoist Temple Master of Liaodong Celestial Gang, Jin Yuanxiang’s physical condition was not something ordinary people could compare with.

How did he get so tired?

“Oh, don’t mention it. These little bastards are such a hassle. Alright, I’ve got the people ready; we’re setting off now.” Jin Yuanxiang waved his hand and said.

He wasn’t just gathering some elites.

He had almost gathered the entire Liaodong Celestial Gang.

Lu Ran went out, took a quick glance, and saw roughly four to five hundred people!

Cen Yunuo also marveled at the sight.

To be able to stabilize the Taoist Sect so well in today’s declining circumstances is indeed a skill.

It’s enough to see that the disciples of Liaodong Celestial Gang are bold enough, not fearing Buddhism at all!

It’s just not clear why Buddhism, having stationed people from Arhat Temple here to contend, did not summon more Buddhist forces to suppress Liaodong Celestial Gang.

“Probably a quest setup,” Lu Ran joked.

If the Taoist Sect was wiped out directly, how was he supposed to complete this quest?

Of course.

Lu Ran was only joking.

After all.

The original Taoist and Buddhist sects were not digitalized.

The Data World couldn’t intervene.

“Let’s go, we’re setting off. With Yunuo’s help this time and the help of your Professional friends, we’ll surely make the Arhat Temple restless!” Jin Yuanxiang said with a wave of his big hand.

Despite Jin Yuanxiang being of an old age.

His vigor was genuinely impressive.

And his straightforward personality and bold nature were the type of person Lu Ran liked.

Originally, Lu Ran and his group planned to fly there.

But now.

With so many people in such vast numbers, they could only proceed on foot.

Wanting Jin Yuanxiang to intervene, Lu Ran couldn’t refuse.

Moreover.

According to Lu Ran’s plan, there needed to be the presence of the Taoist Sect when completing the quest.

Otherwise, who knows what rewards would be triggered.

But considering the Tao Lineage rewards, Lu Ran felt they were quite worth it.

One reward was an entire system of Taoist Skills, and a maxed-level one at that!

It’s simply a huge profit!

After another hour, close to two hours, the mighty crowd finally arrived at Arhat Temple.

Don’t let the close to two-hour duration mislead you; the mountain path was difficult, implying little distance was covered.

“The distance between Arhat Temple and Liaodong Celestial Gang is certainly close enough,” Lu Ran remarked.

Buddhism dared to do this, showing they indeed have confidence.

“Yes, when Buddhism decided to build Arhat Temple here, we wanted to stop them, but we simply couldn’t compete. There were many Buddhist experts back then,” Jin Yuanxiang shook his head and sighed.

Looking up.

This Arhat Temple, perhaps built relatively recently, looked quite new.

But the scale was massive; the size of Liaodong Celestial Gang was already sufficiently large.

Yet now seeing Arhat Temple, it seemed even the size was deliberately built to outshine Liaodong Celestial Gang.

However.

When Lu Ran and his group arrived.

In the square in front of the main gate of Arhat Temple, a large number of monks had already gathered.

Judging by the number, at least a thousand!

Moreover.

Some wearing robes, clearly the leaders of Arhat Temple, were already waiting.

“This Arhat Temple has very efficient intelligence,” Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and said.

Jin Yuanxiang furrowed his brow.

Carefully looking around, then glancing at the monks opposite.

He said, “It’s better to be cautious. However, even if Arhat Temple has a lot of people, it seems that the other Buddhist experts aren’t here. If we go over there, and a fight is necessary, we’re not afraid!”

With that, he led the way forward.

Cen Yunuo originally instinctively wanted to caution Jin Yuanxiang to stay calm and not act impulsively.

But realizing Lu Ran was right there, what was there to fear?

This trip was basically a vacation.

They didn’t even need Liaodong Celestial Gang to intervene.

It seemed they’d brought so many people mainly to trigger rewards for Lu Ran, not to engage in combat.

So exchanging a glance with Lu Ran, Cen Yunuo led Liu Xinxin and the others to follow.

Reaching the open space in front of the crowd from Arhat Temple, face to face.

Before Lu Ran’s side could say a word, the Arhat Temple side spoke first.

“Everyone’s here?” Leading them was an old monk.

He must be the Abbot of Arhat Temple.

This point delighted Lu Ran; instead of having others speak tough words first, the boss directly stepping out saved a lot of trouble.

“Everyone’s here? What do you mean? Arhat Temple’s got quite the nose, knowing we were coming,” Lu Ran said casually.

However, the old monk only glanced at Lu Ran without replying.

Then his gaze swept over to Jin Yuanxiang.

Continuing, “Jin Yuanxiang, are you mute? I’m asking you, is everyone here?”

Unexpectedly.

Jin Yuanxiang suddenly chuckled, stepped aside a bit.

Then pointing at Cen Yunuo, he said, “She’s Cen Yunuo, the person you want. As for the others, you don’t need to worry about them. I’ve brought the person; figure the rest out yourselves, but don’t forget the promises you made to me.”

Huh?

Lu Ran, Cen Yunuo, and the others froze in shock, staring at Jin Yuanxiang.

What was this scoundrel up to?

“Of course, we’ve cooperated for so long, and the fact that your Liaodong Celestial Gang is thriving well enough speaks for my sincerity, doesn’t it?” the old monk said calmly.

Lu Ran furrowed his brow.

Even a fool could see something was amiss now.

This Jin Yuanxiang, damn him, had betrayed them!

“Very well, do as you please,” Jin Yuanxiang shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Uncle Jin, what do you mean by this? What are you doing?” Cen Yunuo demanded sharply.

“Yunuo, don’t blame me. The decline of the Taoist Sect forces me to do this to ensure the continuity of Liaodong Celestial Gang,” Jin Yuanxiang said to Cen Yunuo.

A glimpse of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it quickly vanished.

“What do you mean? What have you done?” Cen Yunuo asked, unwilling to give up.

“Nowadays, Liaodong Celestial Gang is dependent on Arhat Temple. If you want to attack Arhat Temple, I won’t agree. When will this cycle of revenge end? If the Taoist Sect can submit to Buddhism, we wouldn’t have to eke out a miserable existence. What’s so bad about that? At least it can survive!” Jin Yuanxiang said.

He seemed to be explaining.

But it was more like self-consolation.

“Nonsense!” Cen Yunuo was livid with rage.

Saying it nicely, Liaodong Celestial Gang depends on Arhat Temple; in the end, isn’t it just becoming Arhat Temple’s dog?

Or rather, Buddhism’s dog!

“What could I do! So many years have passed; without finding a way to adapt, do you think Liaodong Celestial Gang could have survived to this point? Could it have been preserved so well? We would’ve been exterminated long ago! I had no other choice! I had to do this!” Jin Yuanxiang roared with a hideous expression.
