NOVEL NEXT Chapter 430: The Fantasies of the White Brahma Temple Monks_2
In a palace where the light was slightly dim and filled with the thick scent of White Lotus,
At that moment, there was an old monk wearing a White Lotus Monk Robe, sitting cross-legged on a white cushion, his eyes tightly shut.
His hands, which appeared somewhat gaunt, rested on his crossed legs.
He seemed to be constantly muttering various Buddhist scriptures related to the White Brahma Temple.
"Master..."
A voice suddenly arose from behind the old monk, who was robed in White Lotus and held a string of White Buddha Beads in his hand.
Upon hearing the noise, the old monk in the great hall did not open his eyes, turn his head, or make any other motion,
but just by listening to the voice of the extraordinarily handsome young man behind him, he knew without any difficulty
exactly who it was.
"What's the matter?"
In the dimly lit hall, the old monk sitting on the white cushion didn't open his eyes; he merely opened his mouth and, with an expressionless face, quietly asked the young monk behind him.
Outside the great hall, at the doorway.
Seeing the old monk react in such a manner, the young monk also slightly bowed his head, his expression revealing a trace of loss, and said, "Master, other places are fine, but the disciples we sent to the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family and the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi City have suffered tremendous injuries."
"Not only have they failed to gather any useful information, but at least seventy to eighty percent of those sent to these two places have been lost, and unexpectedly, the losses within the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi City are even greater than those of the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty."
"This is indeed somewhat beyond my expectations..."
Inside the great hall.
The old monk sitting cross-legged on the white cushion, upon hearing these words, silently opened his slightly murky eyes.
He lifted his head and gazed for a long time at the giant Buddhist statue in front of him.
Afterwards, he silently stood up and slowly walked toward his extraordinarily handsome direct disciple, who had been standing behind him.
Only when the old monk reached the front of his direct disciple did he speak in a somewhat hoarse voice, inquiring, "The majority of the monks from our temple fell in Qingshi City Luo Family and the Imperial Palace of the Da Feng Dynasty?"
"Among them, those sent to the Luo Family Clan land in Qingshi City suffered even more losses than those sent to the Imperial Feng Family?"
The young monk looked at the Master in front of him, then he spoke, "Yes, that's correct..."
As the old monk received this affirmative response,
he could not help but fall silent.
Dispatching temple monks to other regions to gather intelligence was personally ordered by the old monk, but the execution was handled by the surprisingly handsome young monk.
The old monk had an estimated value in his heart for the losses of the monks sent to these two places.
However, what nobody could have expected was that the losses suffered by the monks of his White Brahma Temple would reach such a horrifying extent; it was indeed difficult to accept...
"Do the Luo Family in Qingshi City and the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty have any other unusual reactions after learning of this matter?"
In the great hall.
The old monk silently pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but ask again in a low voice.
The young monk lowered his head, thought for a while, and then softly replied to the old monk in front of him, his own Abbot teacher, "The Qingshi City Luo Family and the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family seem to have ceased any actions beyond erasing the brothers within the monastery in their territories, except for a few precautions against us at White Brahma Temple. Other than that, everything is as usual, with the two powers still pitting their full strength against each other."
"Like..."
"Like..."
Seeing the handsome, almost otherworldly appearance of the young monk, the old monk couldn't help but interrupt him, "You mean to say, the Qingshi City Luo Family and the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family completely disregard our White Brahma Temple?"
The young monk looked up at the old monk before him, then after a pause, he nodded to himself.
Seeing this, the old monk slightly smiled and then exclaimed in a subdued tone, "In fact, neither the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family nor the Qingshi City Luo Family taking us into account isn't necessarily bad. At least..."
"In this period, the goal of both the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family and the Qingshi City Luo Family will only be each other, and not our White Brahma Temple."
"We at White Brahma Temple can take advantage of this time to develop and strengthen ourselves as much as possible, and then, when the conflict between Qingshi City Luo Family and Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family escalates, or at a critical moment of their struggle, our White Brahma Temple making a sudden move isn't necessarily bad."
"What do you say, isn't that right?"
The old monk slightly squinted his eyes, his aged face bearing a faint smile.
After listening to all these words, the young monk silently pondered for a long while before suddenly looking up with a realization, exclaiming in surprise and excitement, "It does seem to be the case. Master is truly wise, even considering this aspect..."
While responding, the young monk also lavished flattery.
The old monk in the hall gradually became immersed in the continuous flattery from his personal disciple.
Even so, he somewhat contentedly placed his hands behind his back, glanced at his personal disciple behind him, and then silently, step by step, unhurriedly walked out of this White Brahma Temple palace.
Seeing this, the extremely handsome young monk, almost inconceivably non-mortal-like, followed closely behind the old monk, his eyes shimmering with admiration for his beloved teacher.
Now, the atmosphere between the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family and the Qingshi City Luo Family was growing stronger with time.
In the short term, perhaps no major events will occur.
In the short term, most likely both powers would simply amass the forces at their disposal along the border lands, standing off against each other.
But over time, friction between the two was inevitable.
And as the days passed, with the rift between the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family and the Qingshi City Luo Family deepening.
The struggle between the two would surely be unavoidable.
And at that time, their White Lotus Prefecture's White Brahma Temple would be perfectly positioned to come out in force, tidying up both the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family and the Qingshi City Luo Family's forces in one fell swoop—how enticing would that be?
After the fall of both the Qingshi City Luo Family and the thousand-year-old Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family, wouldn't this vast land all become the possession of their White Brahma Temple?
By then, not to mention turning the people on this land into an army of puppets at their disposal.
Even if they wanted to transform this entire land into a domain filled with the potent power of White Brahma Force, there likely wouldn't be any major issues.
