    Dog bites Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of others


    After beingbeled a “demon n spy” by the golden-robed monk, their eyes toward David instantly filled with hostility, as if he were their sworn enemy.


    “Who are you? Why are you ruining our ns?” A burly, bearded man stepped forward and mmed his massive axe to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.


    The axe shed with a cold light, as if it could chop David in half at any moment.


    “I think he’s just jealous of us receiving guidance from the Temple!”


    another monk in a green robe echoed, his hand already on the sword at his waist, ready to unsheathe it if David made the slightest move.


    David frowned, inwardlymenting the foolishness of these people.


    He stepped forward, attempting to exin, “Don’t be fooled! The jade ruyi in his hand is emitting a hypnotic aura. The runes beneath the tform are soul-gathering formations. Your soul threads are being drawn into the soul urns in the grooves. If you wait any longer, your very souls will be taken away!”


    However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was drowned out by a wave of furious insults.<fn33c9> Th?s chapter is updated by findnovel</fn33c9>


    “What nonsense! The Temple is the orthodox Divine n. How could they do such a thing?” a white-haired elder shouted, his eyes wide with anger.


    “I think you’re fabricating lies because you’re afraid we’ll be stronger than you after our breakthrough!” another young cultivator retorted with disdain. “


    Brothers, stop wasting time with him. Capture him first and hand him over to the Temple!”


    Someone in the crowd shouted, and a dozen cultivators instantly rushed towards David.


    Their magical instruments gleamed with a cold light, their spiritual energy fluctuating chaotically but with a force that could not be underestimated.


    Most of these cultivators were independent cultivators who had long been stuck in a bottleneck,pletely losing their minds in pursuit of a “breakthrough opportunity,” and would not listen to any advice.


    In their view, David was the culprit who destroyed their bright future and must be brought to justice.


    Seeing this, Hu Mazi quickly took out several defensive talismans and stuck them in front of him, saying urgently, “David, it’s impossible to exin it to them! These people are bewildered!”


    He knew that these monks were now obsessed with “breaking through” and no matter how David exined, they would not believe him.


    David looked at the monks rushing towards him, and a trace of disappointment shed in his eyes.


    He could easily defeat these people, but they weren’t evil, merely pitiful individuals who had been deceived.


    In pursuit of higher cultivation, they risked everything, unaware that they had fallen prey to a vast conspiracy. He dodged a cultivator


    ‘s sword strike, the de scraping past the hem of his clothes, stirring up a gust of wind. He


    then used his spiritual energy to deflect another cultivator’s magical weapon, sending it flying into the distance.


    David shouted again, “Feel your brows! Do you feel a slight tingling sensation? That’s a sign of your soul threads being pulled away!”


    But he was met with an even more frenzied attack.


    A white-haired elder summoned apass, from which several golden beams shot forth, piercing David’s vital points.


    The beams emanated immense power, burning and distorting the air wherever they passed.


    The elder cursed, “You are spreading rumors to confuse the people! Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!”


    Thest trace of hesitation faded from David’s eyes.


    He knew that these people had beenpletely consumed by the obsession of “breaking through”. Even if he rescued them now, they would probably go back to the temple to “listen to the teachings”.


    They were already deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves.


    He stopped dodging, and the ck and white mes around him suddenly spread outward, forming an invisible barrier.


    The barrier seemed thin, but it contained a powerful force. It pushed back several steps all the monks who rushed towards him, but did not hurt them at all.


    Although David was angry at the ignorance of these monks, he still could not bear to hurt them.


    “Since you don’t believe it, then go with it.”


    David’s voice became cold, without any ripples.
