The Shining Star Above The Heaven

The news circulating across the Buddhist sect territory is unsettling, as many people have died at the hands of an unknown assailant. Some monasteries, villages, and even small towns have already been drenched in blood. The Buddhist sect has even dispatched two of the Seven Arhats to catch the perpetrator.

However, even after several days, the perpetrator has not been caught, showing that the assailant is not an ordinary man.

At this time, a group of monks from the Buddhist sect arrived at the scene where they had received a report of a slaughtered village with hundreds of victims. When they reached the location, what they saw was truly a terrible sight—many body parts were scattered everywhere. There was no distinction between women or men, old or young, even children. All of them had died gruesome deaths.

Some of the monks could not endure the scene in front of them and immediately vomited upon seeing it.

The leader of this group of monks is a middle-aged monk with a burly body. Although he has a huge build and looks quite intimidating, his presence is like calm water. There is no aura, nothing that makes others feel uneasy—aside from his imposing physique.

Beside him is another monk with a slightly older face and a normal-sized build. He carries a long staff tied to his back. Like the burly monk beside him, he exudes no aura and remains as calm as still water.

However, those who are familiar with the members of the Buddhist sect hold these two in high regard. They are two of the Seven Arhats—the grand elders of the Buddhist sect. Buddhist cultivators who have attained profound comprehension and enlightenment. All of them are emperor-stage cultivators, and exceptionally powerful ones at that.

"Amitabha, may you reincarnate to a better life," the monk with the staff said as he looked at the gruesome scene in front of him.

"It’s the same as the others. The sword wounds and clean cuts show that the perpetrator is a swordmaster," the burly monk said as he examined the scene.
