“This is truly pleasant.”
“This is what you call leisure and freedom.”
He looked at the sun outside the window.
“The timing is just right, it’s exactly noon.”
Just then, the System’s notification sound rang in Fahai’s mind.
“Congratulations, Host, for breaking the precept of sitting and lying on a high, wide bed. First-time transgression, reward: a grand gift package.”
So comfortable!
A pleasant surprise right after waking up.
Even the life of an immortal couldn't be much better.
Fahai’s thoughts stirred: “Open the gift package.”
“Congratulations, Host, you have received Blood Bodhi (Fengyun) and Rulai Divine Palm!”
Huh???
Was this good luck?
To actually get these two treasures!
The Blood Bodhi is a supreme treasure for healing!
Legend has it that it was born from the blood of the Fire Qilin dripping onto the earth, growing in extremely hot places.
It has the effect of healing severe injuries and increasing cultivation even without injury.
As for the Rulai Divine Palm, it is one of the highest ultimate techniques of Buddhism!
It is said to be a supreme Divine Ability passed down by the Buddha to resolve the calamities of all sentient beings and suppress evil spirits!
Its power can shake heaven and earth, slay demons and devils, and protect the world and its people!
Unspeakably domineering!
Especially when combined with the Zhang Liu Golden Body!
The Golden Body is solemn, the Buddha’s light shines universally, and the Divine Palm descends from the sky!
Simply unrivaled!
Its power is immeasurable!
At this time, Shi Feixuan had not yet left and was still sitting on a chair in the private room.
Seeing Fahai’s face full of smiles, she asked, “What are you smiling about?”
“You are about to face a great calamity, don’t you understand?”
“Hmm? A great calamity?”
Fahai was slightly surprised, then reacted.
“You’re talking about Lin Xian’er.”
“You’re quite clear about it.”
Shi Feixuan’s tone was indifferent.
She had originally intended to leave, but after much thought, she ultimately stayed.
If Fahai were to be arrested just like that, she would always feel a bit uneasy.
After all, he wasn't an unforgivable villain.
So she specifically came to give a reminder.
“Why did you kill her?”
“Even if she is the Plum Blossom Bandit, shouldn’t she be handed over to the authorities for investigation before being convicted?”
Fahai did not answer directly; instead, he smiled and retorted, “What, are you worried about me?”
Shi Feixuan shook her head: “I just don’t want to see innocent people wronged.”
Fahai smiled, “Do you think I’m innocent?”
Shi Feixuan remained silent.
Fahai spread his hands and stood up.
“Let’s go, let’s go downstairs. There must already be many people gathered downstairs.”
He knew that after the news of Lin Xian’er’s death spread, many people would naturally suspect him.
They dared not come up, but they must be gathered downstairs.
Sure enough, as soon as they stepped out of the room, they saw the downstairs hall filled with a dense crowd and a clamor of voices.
Looking around, they were all Jianghu figures, countless of them!
Heh, that woman Lin Xian’er really had quite a few followers.
Tsk tsk, a bunch of blindly loyal fools.
The crowd was emotional, waiting in the main hall.
As soon as Fahai appeared, the place immediately erupted, and they all shouted:
“The Demon Monk is out!”
“Fahai, you finally show yourself!”
“It’s him! He killed Miss Xian’er.”
“Brothers, avenge Xian’er, kill him!”
The Jianghu people were agitated, roaring angrily, their Aura aggressive.
Xu Fengnian walked downstairs with Fahai. Seeing this scene, he frowned slightly, feeling a faint unease in his heart.
Fahai’s expression was indifferent, a sneer playing on his lips, and he took a step forward.
In an instant, his body surged with internal Qi, killing intent permeated, and in a flash, the entire restaurant was covered by a chilling Aura.
His gaze was stern, sweeping across the entire hall, his eyes like knives, making people dare not look directly at him.
“If you want to kill me, step forward!”
Fahai’s Evil Qi intimidated all directions, and the crowd immediately fell silent, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Those Jianghu heroes who had been clamoring just a moment ago now dared not take a single step forward; instead, they retreated one after another.
Shouting slogans was fine.
But when it came to actually fighting, no one had the guts!
Fahai’s reputation was renowned, his strength too great!
Truly too great!
No one dared to easily provoke this ruthless man.
Just then, a team of experts dressed in Six Doors uniforms poured into the Drunken Immortal Inn.
Their movements were neat, and they quickly surrounded the entire restaurant.
Someone exclaimed, “The Six Doors people are here!”
The onlookers showed joy.
These people couldn’t do anything to Fahai, but the Six Doors were different!
The Six Doors acted on imperial orders, specializing in monitoring the Jianghu and punishing criminals.
Their authority was profound, inspiring awe in the Jianghu.
Within the Great Ming Dynasty, very few forces dared to oppose the Six Doors.
Because behind them stood a prosperous Dynasty!
Not to mention, among the Six Doors, there was still an extremely powerful person overseeing the central hub.
Amidst the crowd’s escort, a woman in a wheelchair was pushed out.
“Wuqing, one of the Four Great Arresters of the Six Doors!”
“She’s here too!”
“Wuqing is the only woman among the Four Great Arresters, and also the calmest and most resourceful.”
“She’s here, and she brought the Six Doors.”
“Fahai, you can’t escape this time.”
Xu Fengnian and Shi Feixuan exchanged glances, their expressions solemn.
With the Six Doors intervening, things became tricky.
No matter how fierce the previous disputes were, they were ultimately just Jianghu grievances.
In any case, they belonged to internal Martial Forest conflicts.
But now that the imperial power had entered the scene, the situation was different.
Ever since Xu Xiao pacified the Liyang Jianghu.
The entire Martial Forest understood that the imperial court’s strength was not to be provoked!
Even if you were in the Heavenly Human Realm, facing an army of three hundred thousand armored soldiers, you could only turn to ash!
Since then, Jianghu forces had become particularly wary of the government, not daring to act rashly.
So this time, with the Six Doors making a move, if Fahai couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, it would likely be difficult to resolve the situation.
Wuqing looked at Fahai calmly, her tone flat but carrying a chill.
“You are Fahai?”
“Did you kill Lin Xian’er?”
Fahai’s expression was composed, his tone calm: “I did it.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, there was an uproar. Everyone’s faces changed dramatically, their eyes burning with anger, wishing they could tear him apart!
Unexpectedly, his next sentence instantly silenced the entire hall.
“Lin Xian’er was the Plum Blossom Bandit, harming the common people, so I eliminated her.”
Before Wuqing could speak, a Jianghu figure slammed the table and stood up.
“Fahai, you’re talking nonsense!”
“Miss Xian’er is pure-hearted and kind; how could she be that notorious Plum Blossom Bandit? You are clearly slandering her!”
“Don’t talk nonsense here and mislead everyone!”
“Have you all forgotten? Miss Xian’er once said herself that whoever could catch the Plum Blossom Bandit, she would marry them.”
“Someone willing to make such a sacrifice could not possibly be that murderer!”
“That’s right! You must have tried to tarnish her reputation after killing her!”
“Fahai, you are so vicious. Killing her wasn’t enough; you still want to destroy her good name!”
“I’ve disliked you for a long time. You must have killed her because you couldn’t have her!”
“Lord Wuqing, please bring justice for Miss Xian’er and ask the Six Doors to severely punish this evil monk!”
The crowd’s emotions boiled, accusations surging like a tide.
In a short moment, Fahai became an unforgivable villain.
Wuqing frowned deeply.
She hadn’t expected him to be so frank, admitting his actions without hesitation!
Lin Xian’er was indeed killed by him!
Why would a monk break the precept against killing?
This was her biggest question.
