Chapter 292 The Chan Sect is truly... utterly shameless!
After hearing what Li Jing said, Manjushri Bodhisattva could no longer contain himself and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"What?"
"Is there...I have a master?"
He looked completely bewildered.
When Manjushri saw that Li Jing had not made a move, he thought that Li Jing was shocked by his identity.
Who would have thought that Li Jing would ultimately refuse him?
His son, Li Jinzha, already has a master!
Shocked, Manjushri frowned and his expression turned grim.
Immediately afterwards, his gaze sharpened, and he stared intently at Li Jing.
"Li Jing!"
"How dare you deceive me?"
"Are you... looking for death?"
Manjushri roared angrily, his expression turning cold.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing was taken aback, looking at Manjushri with a completely bewildered expression:
"What do you mean by that, Immortal?"
"Everything I have said is true; how can there be any accusation of deception?"
After hearing Li Jing's reply, Manjushri chuckled and said:
"You said your son already has a master."
"But I can tell from him that he has absolutely no aura of cultivation; he doesn't seem to have been taught by any immortal!"
"You still dare to say you're not deceiving me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Manjushri.
"boom!"
In no time, this imposing aura pressed down on Li Jing.
Under this oppressive force, Li Jing suddenly frowned, a hint of pain showing in his expression.
After all, he was still a mortal, how could he withstand the oppressive aura of Manjushri, a Great Golden Immortal?
For a moment, Li Jing felt as if he were carrying a heavy mountain on his back.
Seeing that Manjushri was putting so much pressure on his father, Li Jing, Li Jinzha, a look of disgust immediately appeared on his face.
Just now, he thought Manjushri was an immortal and admired him very much.
But now, that good impression has vanished completely.
"Immortal!"
"I...I really didn't lie to you."
Li Jing gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to the immense pressure.
Even so, he forced himself to endure it, his legs trembling uncontrollably, but he did not kneel down.
Manjushri did not believe what Li Jing said and coldly replied:
"General Li, even now, are you still not going to tell the truth?"
"Your son clearly has no cultivation whatsoever, and there's no formal karmic connection between him and his master!"
"You're saying he has a master?"
"Then I shall ask: where is his teacher? What is his name?"
"In my opinion, you're just making this up to fob me off!"
Manjushri was furious, but still didn't quite believe what Li Jing said.
After all, he had received a divine revelation, reminding him that a master-disciple relationship was about to begin in Chentang Pass.
In Manjushri's view, since Heaven was giving this warning, it meant that Li Jing's son, Jinzha, had no teacher.
Just then, Li Jinzha couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly ran to Li Jing's side, stretched out his two little hands, and made a gesture to protect Li Jing.
"You immortal, you're so unreasonable."
"My father already said that I have a master, so why are you still oppressing him?"
Upon hearing Li Jinzha's question, Manjushri glanced at him slightly.
After a slight pause, he ignored Li Jinzha and instead turned his gaze back to Li Jing.
The next moment, Manjushri moved his mind and withdrew the oppressive aura that had been pressing down on Li Jing.
Without the oppressive aura of that Great Immortal, Li Jing felt a great sense of relief and began to breathe heavily.
After a moment of silence, Manjushri spoke and asked:
"General Li!"
"Tell me, whose disciple has your son become his student?"
"If you have lied to me, don't blame me for being impolite."
While saying this, Manjushri was thinking to himself.
If Li Jinzha really has a master, then he'll have to take a good look at who this blind fool is who dares to try and steal his disciple.
Upon hearing Manjushri mention the barbarians, Li Jing took a deep breath before replying:
"Reporting back to you, senior."
"My son's master also comes from a lineage of sages; he is a disciple of the Jie Sect!"
As soon as Li Jing spoke, Manjushri was greatly shaken.
"What?"
"Disciples of the Jie Sect?"
He muttered in astonishment, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
To everyone's surprise, the master of Li Jinzha, whom Li Jing mentioned, actually came from the Jie Sect.
"snort!"
After a moment's thought, Manjushri gave a cold snort.
Regardless of whether what Li Jing said is true or not, even if it is true, he still wants to take Li Jinzha under his wing.
Firstly, he didn't have a good impression of the disciples of the Jie Sect to begin with.
Just as their master, Yuanshi Tianzun, said, the people of the Jie Sect are nothing more than creatures born from eggs and covered in fur and horns, and are not worth paying attention to.
Secondly, Manjushri was guided by the will of Heaven, and Li Jinzha was destined to become his disciple.
In Manjushri's view, Li Jinzha already possessed immense fortune, and if he were to be taken as a disciple, Manjushri, as his master, might be able to gain considerable benefits from him in the future.
After a moment's thought, Manjushri's eyes darkened, and he spoke in a cold voice:
"General Li, I will not hold your false words against you because I am so concerned about your son."
"Your son is destined to be with me; it is ordained by Heaven!"
"Even if it's just an unfulfilled agreement, and even if you are truly a member of the Jie Sect, today I will take your son away!"
After saying this, Manjushri did not wait for Li Jing's reply, and slightly spread the five fingers of his right hand.
"boom!"
Then, a gentle, pure light emanated from the jade-like hand, which then reached out and grabbed at Li Jinzha.
This posture clearly indicates an intention to forcibly take Jinzha away.
"Senior, you..."
When Li Jing saw this, he was immediately horrified.
I never expected that Manjushri, a man of noble lineage, would act in such a barbaric and rude manner.
Upon thinking about it for a moment, Li Jing's anger was instantly ignited.
Before this, he remembered that Manjushri was a disciple of the saints of the Chan sect, so he dared not be negligent and was patient and respectful in every way.
But now, Manjushri is actually going to forcefully take action, which makes Li Jing somewhat unable to tolerate it.
"snort!"
"Is this the lineage of the sages of the Chan sect?"
"Bullying others by taking advantage of one's power!"
After saying that, Li Jing flashed forward and stood directly in front of Li Jinzha, protecting him behind him.
"boom!"
At this moment, the ethereal hand shadow had already reached Li Jing and was about to strike.
At this critical moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out:
"Is this the teaching style of the Chan sect?"
"If others are unwilling, then we will resort to force and plunder!"
"Truly... utterly shameless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible, vast and boundless aura suddenly descended.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterward, the ethereal hand that was reaching out to grab Li Jinzha shattered instantly under the pressure of this aura!
"Um?"
This sudden turn of events left Manjushri completely bewildered.
It was immediately apparent that this sudden aura emanated from a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
