Chapter 1449: Polite
No one expected things to end this way.
Everyone thought the Ma clan would fight Chen Xuan to the death.
This is the unexpected result!
“Fellow Daoist of the Human Race, Ma Fei is the instigator. You may kill him or torture him as you see fit, I will listen to your wishes.”
The ancestor of the Ma tribe spoke in a gentle tone, as if he were talking about something trivial.
But his meaning was quite clear: he was simply giving up on Ma Fei.
This guy's life or death now rests entirely in Chen Xuan's hands.
Upon hearing this, Ma Fei was instantly terrified.
He thought that after he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, the ancestor would at least spare his life.
To my utter surprise, he was simply abandoned like trash.
"Fellow Daoist, please spare my life! I beg you to spare my life! This is the 10 divine resources you gave me. I dare not touch a single one. I will return it to you now!"
Startled, Ma Fei quickly pulled out a storage bag containing divine energy.
It was the one Chen Xuan gave him.
He held the storage bag high in both hands, his backside in the air and his face down, begging Chen Xuan to accept it.
However, Chen Xuan only glanced at it and didn't bother to take it back at all.
"Alright, get up. I won't kill you. As for the storage bag, keep it; it's your reward."
Chen Xuan spoke lightly.
Since the ancestor of the horse clan has already made his people apologize to him, Chen Xuan has no need to make things too ugly.
As the saying goes, one should be lenient when possible. In dealing with people and things, unless you are facing a deep-seated enemy, there is no need to go too far.
Besides, Chen Xuan isn't the kind of person who holds grudges. Killing Ma Fei would be pointless.
If things really come to a head and it comes to a fight to the death, then Chen Xuan will kill the ancestor of the Ma clan, as well as Ma Qingshan and Ma Changlong.
"Thank you, fellow human!"
Seeing that he was rescued, Ma Fei breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed three more times.
After kowtowing, he did not dare to stand up immediately, but turned back to look at his ancestor, the horse clan.
Only after seeing the progenitor nod slightly did he dare to stand up.
"Alright, fellow cultivators of the demon race, shall we all disperse? There's no need to continue gathering here."
The ancestor of the horse clan glanced around and spoke calmly.
His voice still sounded refined and gentle, but for some reason, it always gave people an irresistible feeling.
Anyone who dares to disobey his orders will feel a chill run down their spine.
"Let's go, there's no more excitement to be seen."
“Our ancestors have already started driving people away. Anyone who dares to stay here will never be able to leave.”
Soon, all the demons who had surrounded them scattered like birds and beasts.
No one dared to continue gathering there to watch the spectacle.
At the entrance of the Great Compassion Temple, only Chen Xuan, the Buddha, the ancestor of the Ma clan, Ma Qingshan, Ma Changlong, and the monks of the Great Compassion Temple remained.
As for Ma Fei, he quickly slipped away, not daring to stay there any longer.
"Fellow Daoist of the Human Race, today's matter is the fault of my Horse Clan. I wonder if you would do me the honor of hosting a banquet in my presence, hoping that we can completely let bygones be bygones."
The ancestor of the horse clan smiled at Chen Xuan and said.
"take me Out to eat?"
Chen Xuan immediately laughed, "As the saying goes, if someone treats me with respect, I'll repay them tenfold. Since you've said that, how could I not give you face?"
Regardless, agree to the other party's request first.
Of course, if the other party is trying to lure the enemy into a trap and then trap them, then Chen Xuan can only say that they have miscalculated.
If he's up to something else, then that's another story.
"Thank you for the honor."
The ancestor of the horse tribe smiled, then looked at the Buddha and continued,
"You must be the new abbot of the Great Compassion Temple. Logically speaking, since you've just taken office, I, as the city lord of Ten Thousand Demons City, should do my best to entertain you as a host."
“However, I have been very busy lately, and today I need to entertain this fellow Daoist from the human race, so I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until another time to entertain you, Master.”
The subtext of these words is quite clear: I only want to entertain Chen Xuan today.
As for you, the host, you shouldn't come and join in the fun.
"Amitabha, it's alright, it's alright, whatever makes you happy, City Lord."
The Buddha smiled politely, but secretly he was sending a telepathic message to Chen Xuan.
“Benefactor Chen, this old monster doesn’t seem as easy to talk to as he appears. In my humble opinion, he’s deliberately lowering his guard to make you lower your guard before inviting you to dinner. I’m afraid this is a trap!”
"Furthermore, he specifically mentioned that he didn't want me to come along, which clearly shows that he didn't want to offend my Buddhist community."
"So it's best not to go to this banquet!"
The Buddha's meaning is quite simple: to put it bluntly, there is no such thing as a good banquet.
The ancestor of the horse clan did not want to offend the countless Buddhas of the world.
After all, he was the newly appointed abbot of the Great Compassion Temple, but he died, was imprisoned, or was humiliated as soon as he took office.
What is this called?
The Buddhist sect will definitely send people to investigate.
However, the three city lords of the Myriad Demon City are all powerful figures at the Great God Emperor level.
Who else can the Buddhist sect send to investigate?
No one can subdue these three great demons!
Therefore, it can only be the immeasurable Buddha of the world who personally intervenes.
If the countless Buddhas of the world were to personally intervene, what would become of them?
This scenario had already played out once before. The City of Ten Thousand Demons did not allow Buddhist sects to build temples here, but after the Buddha of Immeasurable World personally came once, the temple was built.
Outsiders have no idea what happened.
Only the three city lords knew the extent of their suffering back then!
"It's alright. If he's genuinely treating me to a meal, then he won't be in any trouble."
“If he’s not honest and dares to set a trap for me, then I won’t hesitate to tear down his city lord’s mansion.”
Chen Xuan responded immediately to Buddha Chen Xuan's kind reminder via telepathy.
"Benefactor Chen, are you sure you can handle a great demon at the level of a Great God Emperor by yourself? If you find it troublesome, I'll summon Miss Susu. The three of us working together should be able to take him down!"
The Buddha continued to transmit his voice, still somewhat worried about Chen Xuan's safety.
After all, the other party was a Great God Emperor, and not just any Great God Emperor, but an old monster who had stood at this level for countless millennia!
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Miss Su is probably busy right now, so let's not bother her."
Chen Xuan chuckled and continued transmitting his voice.
Actually, it's a bit of a pity about Qing Susu's situation.
After all, Qing Susu is also a woman bound to the system, and she can increase Chen Xuan's favorability.
