Chapter 2075: On the Way Home Chapter 2075: On the Way Home Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Braydon Neal’s voice echoed from afar.
Benaiah Strunk, who had been battling Enlightened Joyand the others, instantly lit up with joy.
“Good disciple, Master is on the way,” he exclaimed.
As soon as Benaiah spoke, spiritual energy burst forth from his body, catching Enlightened Joy and his companions off guard.
But just as suddenly, Benaiah was sent flying backward.
The same happened to Elder Juntenen, Scipio Langdon, Fedele Licata, and the others.
After forcing the old monks to retreat, Benaiah quickly made his way toward the border of the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain.
Scipio’s sharp gaze swept across the battlefield.
His voice boomed like a great bell.
“Everyone, don’t resist.
I’ll bring you into my small world for now.” With that, Scipio waved his sleeves, unleashing a terrifying suction force.
The panicked level nine transcendents on the ground suddenly felt themselves being pulled by an invisible power.
They ceased struggling and willingly allowed the force to draw them into Scipio’s small world.
They had no choice but to comply—resistance meant becoming prey for the old monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain.
In no time, Scipio and the others appeared before the spatial barrier.
“Pavilion Master, channel your power into the formation,” Braydon instructed Scipio, his expression serious.
“Understood,” Scipio replied, quickly injecting energy into the floating array.
The spatial barrier of the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain began to crack.
Furious cries erupted from the nine elders of the mountain as they realized what was happening.
“We can’t let them escape!” one bellowed.
“If we do, not only will our lost lifespans remain unrecovered, but the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain will become a laughingstock.” Enlightened Joy surged forward, his speed suddenly skyrocketing as he raced toward Scipio and the others.
Just then, a surge of black, fiendish energy intercepted him—it was Benaiah.
Standing before Braydon, he wielded the World Shattering Spear, unleashing waves of spear energy.
The cracks in the barrier grew wider.
With a powerful strike, Scipio shattered it, creating a massive opening.
“Don’t engage!
Move out now!” Scipio commanded.
He quickly swept Braydon, Kreig Jordahl, and the others into his sleeves and fled through the breach.
The remaining group followed suit without hesitation.
Before leaving, Benaiah shot a defiant look at the elders of the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain.
“Old baldies, Grandpa Benaiah is outta here!” he taunted before vanishing.
Enlightened Joy and the others stopped before the shattered barrier, their faces dark with anger.
Enlightened Anger clenched his fists and growled at Enlightened Joy.
“Big brother, are we just going to let them get away?” “They’ve humiliated the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain.
We can’t let this slide!” Enlightened Anger roared, smashing his fist into a nearby mountain, reducing its peak to rubble.
Enlightened Joy regarded Enlightened Anger calmly.
“Are you planning to chase them down?
Now that our mountain’s dark secret has been exposed, how do you think the world will react?” “Do you really believe the other Half-Step Forbidden Lands will stand by idly?
Remember, Benaiah was once the second-generation mountain lord of the Myriad Demon Mountain.” A cold smile crept across Enlightened Joy’s face.
“Mark my words, Benaiah’s troubles have only begun.” He continued, “After we suppressed him, his disciples and grand-disciples in the Myriad Demon Mountain were either expelled or met untimely deaths.
Do you think they’ll sit quietly now that he’s back?” “The world already sees us as a threat.
If we step outside now, who knows how many will attack us?” Enlightened Joy turned away.
“Just watch.” With that, Enlightened Joy headed deeper into the mountain, his remaining lifespan too precious to waste.
“And from now on,” he added coldly, “there’s no need to hide our methods.
Capture every living being within our territory.
As long as we survive, it’s worth it.” Miles away in a secluded forest, Scipio and his companions cautiously observed the aura emanating from the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain.
“It seems those old monks are too afraid to leave their stronghold,” Elder Juntenen remarked, opening his eyes after a moment of concentration.
Scipio nodded.
“We’re truly out of danger now.” Fedele and Daviel Toepfer stepped forward.
“Seniors, it’s time for us to return.
We won’t forget your help.” “From now on, consider yourselves equals among the strong.
Address one another as fellow Daoists,” Scipio replied with a nod.
Releasing Braydon and the other level nine transcendents, Scipio advised, “Leave the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain’s territory as soon as possible.” He then whisked Braydon and his group away, reappearing on a distant peak.
Scipio turned to find Benaiah standing nearby, his expression helpless.
“Benaiah, why are you following us?” he asked, exasperated.
Benaiah frowned.
“What do you mean by ‘following’?
I’m here for my disciple, not you!” Beside him, Braydon offered a wry smile.
“Senior Benaiah, I really don’t mean to offend you.” Benaiah’s eyes softened as he looked at Braydon.
“My dear disciple, don’t be so quick to refuse.” “My Myriad Demon Mountain is a Half-Step Forbidden Land, and I’m its second-generation mountain lord—practically the ancestor of the mountain!
If you return with me, you’ll inherit the title of demon heir.
Everything on the mountain will be yours, including countless female cultivators skilled in seduction techniques.” Elder Juntenen’s face darkened at the mention.
“Benaiah, you old fool!
What nonsense are you spouting?
A den of demonesses who drain men’s vitality?
Our Lotus Feather Pavilion is far better, with countless virtuous women for Braydon to choose from.” “Hmph!” Benaiah retorted.
“I’m the Myriad Demon Mountain’s ancestor.
Braydon will be my next Mountain Lord!” Unbeknownst to Benaiah, his declaration stirred a moment of hesitation in Elder Juntenen and Scipio.
The events from a thousand years ago still lingered in their minds, leaving them uncertain whether to reveal the truth to Benaiah.
Finally, Elder Juntenen spoke.
“Benaiah, why don’t you come to the Lotus Feather Pavilion instead?
You can teach Braydon while you’re there.”
