All Good Novel
Chapter 180
Seeing Zhou Jian’s eager appearance, Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
Because of his experiences with the nine cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Chen had seen the true face of Buddha Old Ancestor.
Moreover, at this moment, Buddha Old Ancestor was not revealing his cultivation level, and behind him were the two lunatics Jiang Lianyue and Qingning standing still.
At a glance, this was not someone easy to deal with, right?
But the people of Jiuyan Sect were too excited and even thought that the high ranks of Buddha Temple were all fighting in the sky, so they hadn’t even checked Buddha Old Ancestor’s cultivation level.
Jiang Chen wouldn’t remind them.
Not only would he not remind them, but he also gave Zhou Jian a thumbs-up.
“Zhou Jian, I have faith in you!”
Hearing this, Zhou Jian was immediately invigorated!
It was well-known that Jiang Chen was extremely discerning, and few could gain his approval!‘Perhaps, this is what they mean by ‘no fight, no acquaintance’!’ Zhou Jian thought sentimentally in his heart.
He had once fought with Jiang Chen at the Ninth Peak’s sparring platform.
Although the outcome was basically defeat in seconds, in his view, Jiang Chen must have seen his potential then, which is why he had such high hopes for him!
Seeing Buddha Old Ancestor remain silent, Zhou Jian waited no longer.
“Baldy, prepare to die!” He charged forward with his sword.
And halfway there, the Buddha Old Ancestor glared fiercely, instantly transforming into a hundred-zhang tall golden body, floating between heaven and earth like Buddha himself.
“…I’ve disturbed you, farewell!”
After rubbing his eyes, Zhou Jian quickly turned and walked away.
“Hmph!”
Buddha Old Ancestor let out a cold snort.
The snort set off waves of Buddhist chants, directly blowing Zhou Jian away. And coincidentally, he crashed into Jiuyan Sect’s Supreme Elder Xiao Ting, who was fighting with an ascetic monk in the sky.
Xiao Ting recognized Zhou Jian.
But he was also in a frenzy at the moment, with neither the spare energy nor the inclination to save anyone.
He could only kick Zhou Jian back down.
In the end, Zhou Jian crashed back in front of the Jiuyan Sect people, head down, buried upside-down on the ground.
Fortunately, from his still-trembling legs, it was evident he wasn’t dead.
“Hisss—”
This made even Jiang Chen take a sharp breath, thinking how tragic it was.
For a moment, the scene was very quiet.
“Ah!!”
Suddenly, another scream rang out.
Then, an ascetic monk from Buddha Temple was struck down from the sky by Xiao Ting, also buried headfirst into the ground, right next to Zhou Jian!
“Who dares to harm my Jiuyan Sect disciple?!”
Xiao Ting bellowed and arrived like a streak of light from afar.
“I’ll tear you to pieces…”
After landing, he also saw Buddha Old Ancestor’s golden body and immediately stopped talking.
Seeing Buddha Old Ancestor glaring at him, Xiao Ting stiffly said,
“Lin Feng! How dare you harm your fellow disciples?! I will tear you apart!”
Lin Feng’s mouth twitched.
What did this have to do with him?
It had now become blatantly obvious, it’s not “Save Lin Feng,” but actually “Tear Lin Feng apart”?
Seeing Buddha Old Ancestor’s displeased expression, Xiao Ting kept making eye signals to the ordinary disciples of Jiuyan Sect.
His signals meant: “The goal has been achieved, retreat quickly!”
But what the disciples of Jiuyan Sect understood was: “Jiuyan Sect, invincible!”
“Oh—!”
The next second, the people of Jiuyan Sect shouted in unison.
A few fired up elders even made grandiose statements:
“So what if it’s Buddha Old Ancestor? In front of our Jiuyan Old Ancestor, he’s just a junior!”
“Big golden body, so what? Once our Jiuyan Old Ancestor makes a move, everyone will see if there’s any comparison!”
“Jiuyan Old Ancestor, invincible!”
“With the Old Ancestor behind us, we shall never retreat!”
Hearing this, Xiao Ting slapped his forehead in despair.
He inwardly screamed that he couldn’t lead them, he really couldn’t!
Undoubtedly, Buddha Old Ancestor was indeed wary of Jiuyan Old Ancestor, but being confronted like this, Buddha Old Ancestor would lose all face if he didn’t take action.
Unable to run, the only option now was to fight!
With this in mind, Xiao Ting immediately sent a message to the other Supreme Elders.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Several sounds of breaking through the air rang out, and twelve Supreme Elders of Jiuyan Sect gathered together.
Meanwhile, the remaining three ascetic monks of Buddha Temple also arrived, standing beside Buddha Old Ancestor.
These three Great Ascetic Monks looked extremely ragged, not only wounded in many places but also nearly depleted of spiritual energy.
In contrast, the Supreme Elders of Jiuyan Sect, despite some fatigue, did not bear such scars.
“Four ascetic monks, two of them in the Divine Passage realm! How come you are in such a sorry state?!” Buddha Old Ancestor frowned and asked in a low voice.
“Old Ancestor…”
One of the ascetic monks replied helplessly: “Jiuyan Sect has no shame!”
“What do you mean ‘no shame’?”
Xiao Ting immediately retorted, “Isn’t it just that we adopted tactics like rotation battles, group fights, and flanking attacks? Is that called shameless? That’s called strategy!”
“…Amitabha.”
Not good at verbal sparring, the monks could only chant.
Hearing this, the disciples of Jiuyan Sect were even more excited.
Look at that! This is the strength of the Jiuyan Sect!
Both the Buddha Temple and the Jiuyan Sect are top-tier sects in the Central Domain, yet in every confrontation, whether it’s between ordinary disciples or the higher-ups, the Jiuyan Sect has achieved a resounding victory!
Next, as long as the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan makes a move and gives the Buddha Old Ancestor a good thrashing, it will be a complete triumph!
“Jiuyan Sect! Invincible in the Central Domain!”
Unable to contain his excitement, a peak elder raised his arm and shouted!
The disciples of the Jiuyan Sect also immediately let out a thunderous roar.
Seeing his own side suffer heavy losses and the enemy’s morale soaring. The Buddha Old Ancestor could only sigh deeply.
“Alas! Let it be.”
He shook his head slightly and his golden body swiftly ascended into the air.
First, he used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, and after not finding the presence of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor, he called out loudly: “Xiao old man, come out and fight!”
His voice boomed like thunder like a Buddha, rolling away and echoing through the heaven and earth.
But the response he received was a silence as still as death. Such an eerie situation caused the Buddha Old Ancestor to frown tightly and he said again.
“Xiao old man! Are you looking down on me? Do you think I’m not worthy to fight you?!”
Silence answered him again.
After calling out twice, the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan still did not appear.
This made the disciples of the Jiuyan Sect sense that something was wrong.
At this moment, with the enemy Old Ancestor issuing a challenge, it would be expected that their own Old Ancestor, with his explosive temperament, would definitely jump out and start a fight.
Seeing this, Xiao Ting initially wanted to signal the others to escape with a glance.
But after thinking it over, he directly sent a secret message: “I’ll cover the rear, you take the disciples and retreat. Save as many as you can! Things have come to this. Today’s events can no longer be resolved peacefully. How many of us from the Jiuyan Sect can survive, all depends on our good fortune!”
Upon hearing this, the twelve Supreme Elders were all shocked.
Cover the rear?
Although Xiao Ting was of the Divine Passage realm in the upper four realms, he was certainly no match for the Buddha Old Ancestor.
This offer to cover the rear was clearly a suicide mission!
“We are willing to cover the rear together!”
Without any hesitation, the other eleven Supreme Elders said in unison.
“Foolish!”
Xiao Ting cursed, “If we all fall here, the foundation of the Jiuyan Sect will be lost, and our sect will not escape destruction!”
“Perhaps.”
One of the Supreme Elders replied.
Despite the grave situation, he smiled and said: “But the future belongs to the young. We old immortals can only pave the way with our bones.”
“Indeed.”
Another Supreme Elder added: “Even in death, having been part of the Jiuyan Sect in this life, I have no regrets!”
Xiao Ting was moved by these words.
He glanced at those sect elders and disciples who still harbored hope, waiting for the Jiuyan Old Ancestor to appear, and shook his head.
With things having reached this point, to make the disciples aware of the crisis and retreat quickly, he had to lay his cards on the table.
Otherwise, the disciples, in their bewildered state, might follow them to their deaths.
“The Old Ancestor… has already fallen.”
He finally spoke the truth after taking a deep breath.
