“The Da Feng Dynasty has been suffering from drought for years, and now that the old emperor has fallen, a new emperor has ascended the throne.”

“The signs of chaos have become increasingly intense.”
“Our Huai Shui County, situated beside the waters of Huai River, should be a bit better off than other places, right?”
“Indeed, a bit better.” Chen Yisheng said while sighing, “But if you think about it carefully, the situation in Huai Shui County isn’t really any better than other places.”
“The King of Huai Shui, the grain merchant Tang Family, and our Chen Family.”
“The struggle between the three powers has already plunged Huai Shui County into chaos.”
“Recently, there has been a sudden rise of the Luo Family in Qingshi Town.”
“It is said that the old ancestor of the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi Town has broken through to the Organ Refinement Realm, successfully extending his life by twenty years.”
“And that Luo Family doesn’t seem like an easy one to deal with.”
“At this stage, although the powers within Huai Shui County are able to coexist peacefully for now,”
“I feel it may not be long before.”
“The struggles within Huai Shui County will resurface.”
“By that time, even if our Chen Family wants to find peace and stability in this chaotic world, it will be difficult.”
…
As these words from the Chen Family Head, Chen Yisheng, slowly echoed throughout the Chen Family Ancestral Land,
the Young Master of the Chen Family, Chen Wanliang, who had been seeking the path of immortality outside,
couldn’t help but slightly frown at that moment.
“Qingshi Town, the Luo Family???”
He truly hadn’t heard of this power before.
“Let’s not talk about the Luo Family now.”
Chen Yisheng shook his head and silently walked forward,
speaking in a low voice as he walked, “There’s something I think I need to talk to you about in detail.”
Chen Wanliang asked, “What matter?”
Chen Yisheng sighed, looking somewhat helpless as he said, “It’s about those monks that came from god knows where…”
“Monks in grey for Skin Refinement.”
“Monks in white for Bone Refinement.”
“These, however, aren’t the strangest; the truly most bizarre thing is…”
“The garments worn by those monks seem to have the effect of concealing their presence.”
“Sometimes, when a white-robed monk comes close to me, I don’t notice them at all.”
“So, I’ve been considering lately.”
“Whether to make a move against those monks? Whether to slightly suppress the terrifying development speed of those monks…”
“Monks?” Chen Wanliang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Hearing his father’s words, he couldn’t shake the feeling that they sounded familiar, as if he had heard about it somewhere before.
After Chen Wanliang pondered for a long time,
he suddenly raised his head.
In his eyes, there flashed an expression of disbelief.
“I remember now, those monks are not ordinary.”
“Their background is even more terrifying than the Wu Yue Sect behind me.”
“If it can be avoided, it’s best to have as little contact with those monks as possible.”
Upon hearing these words, Chen Yisheng’s expression became troubled: “But if we let those monks continue as they are now, I’m afraid it won’t take three years for most of the people within the city to become followers of Buddhism.”
“If it really comes to that, things will get troublesome…”
Chen Wanliang smiled and shook his head, speaking softly, “Father, don’t worry, there are tall ones to stand firm even if the sky should fall.”
“Those monks won’t be able to jump around for much longer.”
…
In the blink of an eye, several days passed by.
During these days, the various powers in Huai Shui County still coexisted peacefully.
No one was willing to make the first move against another.
It seemed no one wished to break this moment of tranquility.
Yet, such tranquility
seemed to provide the monks with the best time and opportunity for growth.
“Amitabha, well said, well said.”
“This benefactor, do you wish to enter my Buddhist gate?”
Qingshi Town, inside the city.
A monk dressed in white, wearing a white hat, and clutching a string of White Buddha Beads,
suddenly appeared in the city.
The majority of people chose to avoid this monk at all costs.
Yet, there was still a small number of people
who looked at the monk in white with a trace of curiosity.
Although the citizens inside the city
were not yet willing to join that so-called Buddhist gate,
as time went on, with the continuous brainwashing by those monks,
the power of the monks in Qingshi Town would inevitably grow like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
Until it reached a point where it could no longer be resolved.
…
Seeing that not many people were willing to pay attention to him,
the white-robed monk silently left after a while,
seemingly heading to other parts of the inner city.
Continuing to propagate his so-called Buddhist gate.
And on a bustling street within the inner city of Qingshi Town,
dressed in a white robe, with smooth and flowing silver hair,
Luo Changfeng with his hands clasped behind his back, watched the direction in which the monk departed.
His eyes narrowed slightly,
and a heavy shade flickered through them.
As time passed, the monks’ actions seemed to become increasingly excessive.
From initially being cautious in the outer city,
to now, where they have brazenly entered the inner city,
and when spreading their so-called Buddhist teachings, they no longer avoid others and have started to openly recruit followers.
How could such a situation continue?
“Forget it, let’s wait and see; if it really becomes unbearable…”
“Then it’s not too late to intervene and take control.”
