Chapter 512 The Man of the Three Mountains
Chapter 512 The People of the Three Mountains
This person has an otherworldly air about him, and the crane at his feet seems to have come from the celestial realm, exuding great spirituality.
This scene caused everyone present to change their expressions.
"Taoist?"
Looking at the Taoist robe, Xie Ming guessed the man's origins.
Zhongsheng Mountain is divided into three schools: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. The three schools are located in the three sacred mountains and do not interfere with each other.
However, after this Taoist arrived, a chanting sound, like a morning bell or evening drum, resounded from afar. Immediately afterwards, a dragon-like bird flew in from the distant horizon, and a middle-aged man wearing a kasaya and prayer beads clasped his hands together and slowly flew over.
"A Buddhist?"
Xie Ming felt a little dizzy and stared intently at the dragon-like creature.
"They are still people from Mount Saints..."
Mr. Kong gasped, his face showing undisguised shock.
"Isn't Ye Ru from the Yanhuang Kingdom? How could he possibly bring people from both of the Great Sacred Mountains here?"
Mr. Kong's expression was even more solemn than before, and he murmured:
"I'm afraid the Shi family is doomed this time."
The entire Wenrentai was heavy with the presence of these two people. Although some of them were just scholars, the shock and solemn expressions on the faces of the various powerful families made it clear how much power these two individuals possessed.
"Why are Buddhists here too?!"
Shi Tianze stared intently at the figure on the back of the dragon-like bird. After a moment, he couldn't help but roar in a low voice.
"Amitabha, it's really lively here."
,
The Buddhist semi-saint looked at the mess around him and said softly.
"Xuantian, what brings you here too?"
The Taoist semi-saint gently waved his whisk and spoke slowly.
"Why can't I come? But some annoying people will be coming later."
Xuan Tian clasped his hands together, bowed to him, and smiled.
"No way, Confucianism is all the rage now. We finally found a genius here, are you going to snatch him away from us again?"
The Taoist half-saint's lips twitched slightly, and he said irritably.
"You two are really..."
At that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble. In the distance, a phantom gradually solidified, and finally, a young man dressed in a Confucian robe appeared in everyone's sight.
The moment this young man appeared, the entire world seemed to dim.
Upon seeing this person, both Xuantian and Daozang sighed, their faces filled with distress.
Everyone looked at this person again, and they couldn't help but hold their breath, especially Xie Ming and the others, whose hearts were filled with shock.
Even the half-saint of Jin is not as strong as this person.
The entire arena was silent. Countless people were suffocating under the pressure of the three people's holy power. The remaining ghost scholars were even more terrified. They could face great Confucian scholars, but they couldn't even mobilize their demonic power in the face of such pure and righteous people.
"A Confucian?"
As the Confucian youth appeared, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared at him as if on a pilgrimage, even Xie Ming and the others looked on with admiration.
Visiting Mount Zhongsheng was one of the dreams of everyone who had advanced to the ranks of Hanlin scholars or great Confucian scholars.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn. They then exchanged glances, each seeing something in the other's eyes.
This time, it's a truly big deal.
"Lin Ru, what brings you here too?"
Xuan Tian looked at the Confucian half-sage and said.
"You use your Eyes of the Void to observe all things in the world, why don't you stay in your own domains? What are you doing here?"
Although Lin Ru looks young, everyone knows that he is actually quite old.
“Sigh, you always come in last place in every selection of the Son of Heaven. I think you should just hand this child over to us.”
Xuan Tian smiled and said to Lin Ru.
"Although we are always at the bottom in every selection of the Son of Heaven, we still have the most Confucianists in this Confucian continent. How about we make a bet later and see which sect this young man wants to join?"
Lin Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not angered by the other party's few words. He simply said calmly.
'We won't compete with you; we always lose when we do.'
"Shrug," Xuan Tian and Dao Zang said simultaneously.
"I was unaware of the arrival of the three semi-saints. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."
At this moment, the people from the National Holy Academy also arrived late. One of them bowed and said...
"Hmm, didn't Chengfeng and the other half-saints come?"
Lin Ru simply nodded slightly upon seeing this person and said...
"I'm sorry, Half-Saint Chengfeng went to the Demon Clan to investigate the whereabouts of Half-Saint Ye from back then, and it is said that he has found the traces of Half-Saint Ye."
The great Confucian scholar of that country's holy academy said.
"Well, so be it, this is the situation now."
Xuan Tian looked at the people from the Holy Academy of that country and said in a deep voice, seemingly wanting them to find a solution.
"You can leave it to me."
The great Confucian scholar of that country's Holy Academy nodded, then looked at Shi Tianze and said:
“Brother Tian Ce, this boy is the one chosen by the Holy Mountain. So, please put aside any hatred and think about the greater good of our human race.”
"Why? He killed my son, so it's only right for me to kill him. Does that mean that being chosen by the people of the Holy Mountain means I don't have to pay for my own life?!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianze's face flashed with anger, and he immediately shouted in a stern voice.
It's clear that he's quite dissatisfied with this matter.
"No, our investigation revealed that this matter was not caused by Ye Ru, but by your son Shi Yu."
After a moment of contemplation, the great Confucian scholar of the Holy Academy waved his sleeve, and the scene from back then was recreated.
This scene startled Ye Ru. It turned out that everything he was doing here was being monitored by the National Holy Academy.
After seeing these images, Shi Tianyu's expression changed. She then took a deep breath and glared at Ye Ru with resentment.
"Even if my son struck first, does Ye Ru bear no responsibility at all? He killed my son!"
"If you are not as skilled as others, you have only yourself to blame and no one else is to blame."
Ye Ru snorted coldly and said.
Clearly, he was also somewhat angry at Shi Tianze's words. If Shi Yu hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have bothered to kill her.
"you!"
"Alright, stop arguing. How about this, Patriarch Shi? Each of the three families will give you ten Sacred Pages as compensation, how about that?"
Lin Ru frowned slightly and spoke slowly, his words causing everyone present to breathe a little heavier.
Thirty sacred pages—it would probably take an entire family of saints five or even ten years to obtain that many.
Moreover, only the people of Mount Zhong Sheng could afford such a grand gesture.
With his eyes closed, Shi Tianze struggled for a moment. He knew that no matter what strength he used, he could not withstand the might of the Holy Mountain.
Therefore, we can only make peace for the time being.
'I promise you.'
Lin Ru looked at Xuan Tian and the others, who nodded in agreement. The three of them waved their sleeves at the same time, and thirty sacred pages appeared in front of Shi Tianze.
"Hmph, you're lucky."
Shi Tianze took the sacred page, then with a flick of his sleeve, left.
Watching Shi Tianze and the others leave, Xie Ming and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this could be considered as avoiding a catastrophe.
"Alright, now it's time to talk about our business."
After Shi Tianze left, Lin Ru and the others turned their gazes to Ye Ru, who struggled to his feet and bowed to the three of them.
"Thank you all for saving me."
"No need to be polite. We are from the Mountain of All Saints. Your talent is truly outstanding in the Confucian and Daoist Continent. Therefore, the Mountain of All Saints has included you in our assessment system. Now that you have passed the test, would you like to enter the Mountain of All Saints to continue to advance further on the path of sainthood?"
Lin Ru smiled and looked at Ye Ru, who then began to ponder the matter.
This scene caused the three of them to exchange glances. Normally, a scholar would be overjoyed to hear that he could enter the Mountain of Saints, but no one like Ye Ru in front of them had ever been so excited.
"You may not know what our Mount Zhong Sheng is yet, but I can explain it to you."
Filled with doubt, Daozang spoke up.
Xie Ming and the others looked at Ye Ru's appearance, their lips twitching slightly, filled with intense jealousy.
