"Is there a problem?"
Lu Fan's voice was indifferent, carrying a sense of pressure. After all, this was no small matter in his eyes. Butler Zhao had suffered an accident while saving him, and Lu Fan would never abandon him.
"Of course, I didn't mean that!"
The Lord of Yun City quickly shook his head. "It's just that the Temple of Heavenly Gods has many masters, and Master Puzhi is an exceptionally skilled expert. If you were to steal it, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble!"
"No need to say more. You all wait outside!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "I will go personally!"
At these words, the Lord of Yun City nodded slightly, not daring to say more. This was Lu Fan's decision, and he could only obey.
At the same time, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He could clearly sense a powerful aura within the entire Temple of Heavenly Gods. Forcing his way in would indeed not be a good idea.
"I'll go with you!" Liu Ruyan stated directly. "At least that way, I can be of some help. Otherwise, if you get trapped inside, wouldn't that be troublesome!"
"No need, I'm enough on my own!" Lu Fan shook his head. "I just don't know where the Nine Dragon Grass is!"
"I heard that the Nine Dragon Grass is kept within the meditation rooms of the Temple of Heavenly Gods and has always been enshrined there. If you really want to steal it, you can look for it in the meditation rooms," Liu Shuqin said. "However, to be frank, this is not a trivial matter. Offending the Temple of Heavenly Gods might be something you cannot bear. The Temple of Heavenly Gods is no ordinary force; it is backed by the Heavenly God Palace. Even the Heavenly Court Dynasty might not be able to do anything to them!"
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "But since I've come, I am already prepared!"
Facing these words, Liu Shuqin didn't say much more.
When night fell and all was quiet, Lu Fan infiltrated the Temple of Heavenly Gods alone. Within the entire temple, apart from the incense smoke, there was nothing else out of the ordinary, which surprised him even more.
At the same time, Lu Fan arrived at the meditation rooms. After searching for a while, he couldn't find the Nine Dragon Grass, which made him even more puzzled.
Just as he was about to head towards the main temple, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked his path. The figure clasped his hands together and said directly, "Little benefactor, I knew this scene would happen tonight when you came. Trespassing into the Temple of Heavenly Gods is a grave offense!"
"So, Master had already made preparations. No wonder I couldn't find the Nine Dragon Grass!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "I am also in a difficult situation. My friend is seriously ill, and if he doesn't get the Nine Dragon Grass, he might lose his life!"
"That is your business, and it has nothing to do with us!"
Master Puzhi's eyes were indifferent, and his words were blunt.
"Master, saying that shows no compassion!"
Lu Fan said coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction. To him, Puzhi's words did not seem like those of a monk, lacking any mercy.
"Why should the way the Temple of Heavenly Gods conducts its affairs be judged by others!"
Master Puzhi said calmly, exuding an aura, and did not take Lu Fan seriously.
Lu Fan smiled slightly. "What if I must obtain the Nine Dragon Grass today, Master?"
"Young man, do not be too presumptuous. This is my advice to you!"
Master Puzhi's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of threat. After all, in his eyes, Lu Fan's actions had touched him.
At the same time, Lu Fan's gaze turned sharp. Master Puzhi's words likely meant he wanted to fight him and expel him from the Temple of Heavenly Gods.
However, since the matter had come to this, Lu Fan had no intention of leaving.
"Little brother, do not be too reckless, or this place will become your burial ground!"
A few more masters ran out, looking at Lu Fan, exuding an aura. It seemed that in their eyes, Lu Fan's actions were simply courting death.
"I am also compelled. I hope all masters can understand!" Lu Fan clasped his fists. "If I cannot get the Nine Dragon Grass, my friend will die. I will absolutely not let such a thing happen!"
"Since that is the case, then let us act!" Puzhi's expression was indifferent, carrying an aura, and he did not take Lu Fan seriously.
At these words, the crowd nodded slightly, not daring to say anything more.
In that instant, Puzhi, holding his prayer beads, instantly cast them towards Lu Fan, appearing imposing and without any hesitation.
For a moment, the entire Temple of Heavenly Gods was filled with Buddhist light, attracting the attention of many.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan frowned. Such powerful Buddhist light indicated that a confrontation had begun within the Temple of Heavenly Gods.
"Could the Lord have been discovered?" The Lord of Yun City mused. "If that is the case, what should we do!"
"I must go in!"
Liu Ruyan frowned. If something were to happen to Lu Fan, he would not be able to accept it.
"Absolutely not!" The Lord of Yun City said repeatedly. "If you barge in rashly, it will only cause unnecessary trouble. After all, your strength is not as great as the Lord's. Perhaps the Lord can still escape!"
Liu Ruyan frowned. What the Lord of Yun City said made sense, but he was extremely anxious. If Lu Fan were to encounter any trouble, he wouldn't know what to do.
At the same time, within the temple, Lu Fan's gaze turned solemn. He could clearly feel that these people were not ordinary individuals. Although they appeared to be ordinary monks, upon engaging them, he could sense their formidable abilities.
"Little brother, I will give you one more chance. If you leave the Temple of Heavenly Gods now, I will naturally not make things difficult for you," Puzhi said. "Otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless. The Temple of Heavenly Gods is not a place that just anyone can intrude upon!"
"I suddenly remembered that I have something that might be of use for an exchange!" Lu Fan revealed a smile, looking at the crowd with a serious expression.
"The Nine Dragon Hall is a sacred artifact of our Temple of Heavenly Gods. No matter what you have, you cannot exchange it!" Another monk interjected, appearing imposing and unreserved in his address to Lu Fan.
"Don't be so quick to judge!" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "This item is the Diamond Sutra, which might be extremely important to your Buddhist sect. If I can give you the Ancient Diamond Sutra, can we exchange it?"
At these words, the assembled monks exchanged glances, their hearts filled with curiosity. They wondered if Lu Fan's words were true.
"The Diamond Sutra is a supreme treasure of Buddhism. How could you possibly possess it!" The crowd spoke, their voices laced with doubt.
