Chapter 2281 - The Winds Blow and the Leaves Fall in Cloudy Heights Temple
Fa Zhen said hoarsely, “I truly don’t understand. We hid the fact that Ning Xiu had become our pawn so deeply. How... Did you find out?”
Su Yi laughed. He could tell that Fa Zhen was unwilling to accept this!
Indeed, Ning Xiu had fooled even him earlier. He hadn’t sensed anything strange about her behavior. Had the Rahu Yao Ancestor not brought it up, he could never have launched this operation on Cloudy Heights Temple in time.
Unfortunately for Fa Zhen, Su Yi naturally wouldn’t go into those details; he wasn't going to sell out the Rahu Yao Ancestor.
“Those details aren’t important. It’s just as I said before the battle began. You lost because of your decision to reveal your plans at this Dharma Assembly of Warding Evil,” Su Yi said calmly. “Had you sought refuge in the Western Paradise Spirit Mountains before making this announcement, this disaster would never have befallen you.”
Fa Zhen’s expression shifted erratically.
Off in the distance, those desperate cries gradually faded away. Practically all of the fleeing monks had already perished. Those yet to flee instead shrank back in terror, not daring to act recklessly.
That was true of the guests, too.
“Do you really think we preferred to do it this way?” Fa Zhen sighed. “We originally planned to go to the Western Paradise Spirit Mountains before announcing this, but...”
He shook his head and trailed off. It seemed he’d accepted his fate.
Something occurred to Su Yi. “Did the Dipankara Buddha tell you to do this?”
Fa Zhen neither confirmed nor denied it. He just stood there and gazed woodenly at Su Yi. “Ning Xiu was just one hidden pawn. Even if Cloudy Heights Temple falls today... more and more unexpected disasters will befall you in the days to come!”
