Chapter 1665: Brahma Temple, Flowery Monk!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the last three days, more people came to the Nimble Valley in succession.
Some of these people came from the fifth-rated forces in the Rising Sky Mansion district, while others were from sixth- or seventh-rated forces.
As for the people from the eighth- and the ninth-rated forces, even if they came, n.o.body knew them at all.
A majority of the people from these forces dared not even come at all.
Other than having an impetus bearing, the fight between two Saint Stage powerhouses had an extremely shocking force that lingered as well. If one’s cultivation base was not enough and they did not put a safe distance in between them, one would most likely be impacted. If the force was light, then one might be wounded, but if it was heavy, one might even be killed.
There were a total of 35 fifth-rated forces in the Rising Sky Mansion.
The Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi came from two of the forces.
The Flowery Monk was the disciple of a fifth-rated force called the Brahma Temple while Jing Xu Zi was the disciple of a fifth-rated force called the Pure Yang Shrine.
These two people were also known as the most outstanding geniuses among the middle-aged generation in the Rising Sky Mansion district.
Even the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion was suppressed underneath them.
However, even though there were many people who came from the Brahma Temple and the Pure Yang Shrine, n.o.body could see the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi at all. “Looks like the people from the Brahma Temple and the Pure Yang Shrine are here to prepare and occupy a decent s.p.a.ce for the people at the back. After all, the Rising Sky Rankings Battle will be held for more than a day and each sect will need a place to rest.”
Other than Elder Jiu from the Rising Sky Mansion who had brought his men to occupy the best place, the Brahma Temple, the Pure Yang Shrine and another fifth-rated force had also occupied three strategic places.
The rest of the people who were shooed away did not dare to say anything although they were infuriated.
In this world where the strong ruled, whoever had the strongest punch had the loudest say.
Two days went by and the Rising Sky Rankings Battle were to be held the next day, thus the crowds that came slowed down to a trickle.
However, the number of people who now came was in a larger group than before.
“It’s the Flowery Monk! And the people from the Brahma Temple too!” somebody cried out loud. As his voice resonated, it merely attracted the people in the surrounding at first. After all, the Nimble Valley was not small and even though his voice was quite loud, it could not reverberate throughout the entire Nimble Valley.
However, as he and the people surrounding him narrowed their eyes in unison toward the distance to take a closer look, the others also noticed the movement and their gaze followed to look there.
From a distance, a group of people was making their way over in a ma.s.sive and mighty formation. The person who led them was a bald, old man who was wearing a golden kasaya. He had a pair of white brows and had a long, white goatee on his chin. Ambling in the air in slow steps, he presented an unusual bearing as he gave off an unfathomable feeling.
Soon, somebody recognized the old monk and exclaimed out loud, “It’s the Abbot from the Brahma Temple, Master Hui Ci!”
The Abbot of the Brahma Temple was also the leader of the Brahma Temple. He held the highest position in the Brahma Temple.
Behind the Abbot of the Brahma Temple were four people who followed closely behind him. Among them, there were three old monks, who wore silver kasayas. Each and every one of them looked so aged and shaky, giving one a feeling that they had undergone transcendence. It was obvious that they were not just some ordinary old monks.
Standing beside the three old monks who were wearing the silver kasayas was a young man who was wearing a red kasaya. He had an ordinary look and was the type of person who was not easily recognized in a crowd. However, the fact that he could stand together with the three old monks donning the silver kasaya and whose ident.i.ties were obviously extraordinary was enough to prove that he was not simple.
This young monk was none other than the strongest person among the middle-aged generation in the Brahma Temple, the Flowery Monk.
The reason he was known as the Flowery Monk was that he was particularly promiscuous and had many love affairs, not abiding by the Brahma Temple’s rule of refraining from s.e.x.
Of course, even though he was promiscuous, he never forced women at all. He would only touch women who were h.e.l.l-bent on him and were willing to sacrifice everything for him.
Therefore, even though his reputation was particularly good in the Rising Sky Mansion district, it was not particularly terrible either.
If an ordinary Brahma Temple disciple had broken the celibacy rule, he would be punished by flogging and ordered to reflect upon his sins by facing the wall for a light offense or be kicked out by the Brahma Temple if it was a heavy one.
Without a doubt, the Flowery Monk was an exception.
In addition to the fact that his Master was the Abbot of the Brahma Temple, all of this was mainly because of his innate talent in the Martial Dao that elicited respect from the entire Brahma Temple to the point that n.o.body would say anything even though he had broken the temple’s rules.
Could they just expel him just like that?
In fact, ever since the Brahma Temple was formed, the Flowery Monk was the one who had the highest innate talent in the Martial Dao. Besides that, he might even be able to lead the Brahma Temple to make further progress and become a fourth-rated force.
It was only normal for such a person to have special rights in the Brahma Temple.
“It’s the Three Great Guardian Warriors of the Brahma Temple!” To most of the people in the Nimble Valley, the Flowery Monk was no stranger to them as he usually did not like to stay in the Brahma Temple and would always wander around in the Rising Sky Mansion district. Furthermore, his actions were high-profile, causing many people in the Rising Sky Mansion district to know who he was.
Even those who had never met him in real life had at least seen his portraits before and could tell who he was.
As for the three old monks wearing the silver kasayas beside him, only very few people recognized them.
The Three Great Guardian Warriors of the Brahma Temple were just below the Abbot of the Brahma Temple and the Supreme Elder of the Brahma Temple. Their strengths were powerful and they were well-known in the Rising Sky Mansion district.
However, because they rarely showed themselves in front of crowds, not many people recognized them.
When any one of the trio was alone, his strength was already quite notable, but when they joined forces, their strengths were not that much inferior to the Abbot of the Brahma Temple.
“Are they the Three Great Guardian Warriors of the Brahma Temple, Hui Feng, Hui Yun, and Hui Huo?”
“That’s right! It’s them!”
“I heard that ever since they entered the sects, they have since cultivated together. Now that they have spent hundreds of years together, there’s already a tacit agreement between them and they can cast out extremely powerful joint techniques.”
“I heard about that too. I heard that when the three of them join forces together, their strength is in no way inferior to the Abbot of the Brahma Temple.”
“Even the three of them don’t join forces with one another, they are quite eminent powerhouses in the Brahma Temple!”
“Looks like the Brahma Temple takes the Rising Sky Rankings Battle quite seriously as well. Other than having the Abbot making his presence, the Three Great Guardian Warriors have actually come too!”
…
The crowd in the Nimble Valley discussed among each other excitedly.
As for the group of old and middle-aged monks behind the five of them, all of them were completely ignored.
Of course, after a while, some people could recognize these monks. These monks were basically the elders in the Brahma Temple and some of them had strength and positions that were far greater than the Brahma Temple elder who had come to the Nimble Valley a few days ago.
Because the Brahma Temple elder was here as the leader a few days ago, he had also taken the spotlight of many people present.
These elders, on the other hand, had come together with the Abbot, the Three Great Guardian Warriors, and the Flowery Monk, so they served as the foil and appeared like the green leaves to the Flowery Monk and the other four who were like vivid red flowers.
They were the green leaves that set off the beauty of the red flowers!
