Chapter 564 - 563
Just like that time in the courtyard, the proficiency of the Twelve Earthly Branches in arrays was definitely not just about setting up a simple formation. If it were just that, the death of those twelve people wouldn’t be a cause for concern. The killing aura and tacit understanding honed between life and death through that formation were definitely not meant to be taken lightly. Moreover, the uncompromising resilience demonstrated was something Ye Tian deeply desired; if only he could have such a remarkable force at his disposal.
This thought stopped right there.
He also understood that all this might have been orchestrated by Zhang Liang for him to witness.
When they returned to the Buddhist temple, only the little monk was bustling about alone. The temple was long in need of repairs, and light rain was manageable, but when it came to heavy or stormy weather, there was nothing to do but to watch helplessly as rain leaked from the roof and scoop it out bucket by bucket.
As Ye Tian and another person returned, it was raining heavily outside but only lightly inside the temple. Seeing the little monk’s pitiful look, Zhang Liang joined in scooping water, and Ye Tian also pitched in. Fortunately, the rain outside ceased, and the workload of their water scooping trio gradually decreased. Unintentionally, Ye Tian looked up and saw a small bird nestled in Buddha’s palm, which was also staring back at him with big eyes, as if it truly understood human nature.
Could it really be this little fellow?
Just now Zhang Liang mentioned that without encountering something with strong Spiritual Power, those mountain ghosts wouldn’t have appeared out of nowhere, and no one would have used them against him. Was this little bird specifically prepared for him? Ye Tian took another look, certain that the bird was newly hatched, not more than two days old. He used to raid bird nests as a child, and even though its eyes were open, the sparse feathers on its body didn’t deceive him.
It probably wasn’t.
Ye Tian dismissed the idea of using the bird to kill.
"Is this little bird yours?"
