486: Chapter 486: Catastrophe!
In Hanshan Temple, Lin Shuang’s figure exploded into a blitz!
Wherever he went, the group of monks simply couldn’t stop him.
“Bang, bang, bang…!” A group of monks wailed as they were blasted away!
These monks were all martial monks, possessing extremely advanced martial arts skills.
Yet, in front of Lin Shuang, they were still as frail as ants.
Wherever Lin Shuang’s long legs went, bodies were sent flying.
In the blink of an eye, the ground at Lin Shuang’s feet was littered with broken bodies.
Lin Shuang cut a swathe of destruction, directly breaking into the back courtyard of Hanshan Temple.
Once again, he stood before the abbot’s living quarters and pushed open the door.
“Abbot Wu Jiu, who exactly was it that picked me up from the roadside?
I must ask you to tell me the truth!” Lin Shuang stood outside the door of the living quarters, his tone icy as he demanded answers.
Inside the cell, Abbot Wu Jiu sat in front of a meditation cushion, silently meditating, without speaking a word.
Lin Shuang asked again.
Wu Jiu still did not speak.
Meanwhile, outside, countless martial monks were once again closing in!
“Take him down!” the group of monks shouted angrily, as hundreds more launched their attack on Lin Shuang!
“Vajra Demon-Subduing Formation!” With a roar from the monks, hundreds of them rallied to form the Vajra Demon-Subduing Formation, surrounding Lin Shuang!
“Boom…
boom boom!” Lin Shuang stood his ground, palms striking out!
His palm-strikes swept through, blasting the charging monks away again!
Sticks and sabers were cleaved in half, the demon-subduing formation fell apart, and hundreds of monks collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood, the scene was a tragic one.
Only Lin Shuang still stood in place.
“Rumble!” Above the silent Hanshan Temple…
a spring thunder ripped through the sky, followed by torrential rain pouring down, a thunderstorm enveloping the entire Gusu City.
There stood Lin Shuang in the downpour, asking once more, “Abbot Wu Jiu, who really saved me back then?”
Around him, numerous monks still held their weapons…
attempting to rush forward.
“Enough, you’re no match for him, stand down,” said Abbot Wu Jiu from within the cell, finally letting out a long sigh.
The surrounding monks reluctantly retreated.
“Eh, a weak baby boy thirty years ago…
who would have guessed…
that in the blink of an eye, you would become so strong…” Abbot Wu Jiu shook his head and sighed.
“Benefactor Lin Shuang, please come in.”
Lin Shuang’s gaze sharpened, and he stepped into the cell.
As he entered, he casually closed the door behind him.
“Please take a seat,” Abbot Wu Jiu gestured for him to sit before the meditation cushion.
Lin Shuang sat down cross-legged.
“Abbot Wu Jiu, I implore you to disclose…
who was it that brought me back to Hanshan Temple that year?” Lin Shuang lifted his gaze to look at Wu Jiu, his voice firm and pressing.
Abbot Wu Jiu sighed, “Do you really need to know?
It’s been so many years.”
Lin Shuang declared solemnly, “It concerns my identity and the orphanage tragedy at Red Sun Orphanage.
I must find out!
Those who died, they cannot have died in vain!”
At these words, Abbot Wu Jiu’s expression subtly changed, “What did you say?
Red Sun Orphanage?
It was destroyed??”
Lin Shuang nodded and informed Abbot Wu Jiu about the fire incident at Red Sun Orphanage.
At that moment, Abbot Wu Jiu fell silent.
After a long while, he finally let out a weary sigh, “This calamity…
was ultimately unavoidable.”
Lin Shuang’s gaze intensified, and he bowed deeply, pleading, “Abbot Wu Jiu, do you know something?
Please tell me!
Who brought me back to Hanshan Temple that year?!
What secret lies within my heritage?!”
Abbot Wu Jiu sighed, “This…
is a calamity that can’t be evaded…
Alas…
whether it is a blessing or a curse, it can’t be avoided…
that year…”
Just as Abbot Wu Jiu was about to speak, suddenly “swoosh…!” a sound of something cutting through the air swept in!
A terrifying arrow came hurtling in from outside the window!
The arrow cut through the void, unstoppable…
aiming straight for Abbot Wu Jiu’s temple!
