“Elder Brother, did you not have to exert much effort?”

On hearing Master Long Eyebrow’s words, Master Pendleton felt extremely surprised!

Although there was some gap in cultivation between the two brothers, it wasn’t too obvious. After all, disciples from the same master inevitably were elites!

Yet, Master Pendleton had nearly lost his life over the Water’s Surface Pearl, even if Master Long Eyebrow had a higher level of cultivation, how could it have been so simple?

Master Pendleton even planned to go assist, but due to his injuries not having fully recovered, he had temporarily given up the thought.

“Elder Brother, you’re not injured?”

He observed him from head to toe and found that Master Long Eyebrow didn’t even have a trace of battle on him; not only was his breathing extremely steady, but even his complexion was very ruddy!

He didn’t look like someone who had been through a fierce battle at all!

“Junior Brother, Master once admonished us to diligently cultivate! Since you have been involved in the secular world, regarding cultivation, you have hence encountered this tribulation! This person does have some skill, but because he was causing trouble, I knocked him out in one move and brought him back!”

Master Long Eyebrow placed one hand on his chest and gently nodded his head, “In the future, you must diligently cultivate and must never slack off like this again!”

“Elder Brother’s lesson is well taken, but this person’s cultivation is indeed profound! I broke my Buddha Beads and still failed to kill him!”

As Master Pendleton listened to his elder brother’s teachings, he still looked at Julius Reed with full-hearted doubt.

The scene of their confrontation that day was vivid in his memory; he couldn’t have remembered it wrongly!

If it weren’t for the gunmen on the perimeter coming to his aid in advance, he might have been dead by now. But how could such a formidable opponent be so easily defeated?

“Junior Brother, you might be exaggerating a bit!”

Master Long Eyebrow patted his shoulder and casually threw Julius Reed onto the ground, “How you decide to convert him is up to you, Junior Brother!”

“Thank you, Elder Brother!”

Enemies meeting face to face bristled with anger.

At the moment, Master Pendleton couldn’t think too much; all he wanted was revenge, yet he still hypocritically said, “This person is steeped in monstrous crimes; there is hardly a place in this world where he can stay! We, out of great compassion, shall deliver him to the Western Pure Land!”

“Exactly! If Junior Brother can accomplish this, it will indeed be a boundless merit!”

Master Long Eyebrow nodded in approval on the side.

Just then, the Leopold Family members finally ran to the entrance, and upon seeing the person lying on the ground was Julius Reed, they immediately broke into joyful smiles, “Two honored masters, have you captured him?”

“Amitabha!”

Master Pendleton folded his hands in prayer, looking at the Leopold Family member, “This man is vicious and evil; even the Buddha couldn’t enlighten him. We are merely sending him to the Western Pure Land, how can that be called a capture?”

“What the master says is most true! I will immediately inform the old master and let him know this good news!”

The Leopold Family member, seeing Julius Reed caught, instantly felt overjoyed and immediately took out his phone to call Whitley Leopold.

“Elder Brother, this person has committed egregious acts; I want him to suffer the consequences of his own actions, please consent to this!”

Master Pendleton looked towards Master Long Eyebrow, seeking his elder brother’s opinion.

“Junior Brother, as you wish!”

Master Long Eyebrow nodded slightly, preparing to return to the villa to continue his meditation.

But just at that moment, Julius Reed, who was originally unconscious on the ground, suddenly began to speak, “Honored monks, may I ask what sins have I committed?”

“Hmm?”

On hearing the voice, Master Long Eyebrow frowned slightly, turned around, and looked at Julius Reed, who was standing in front of him with a grin, feeling a flicker of disturbance in his heart.

“Benefactor, are you pretending?”

Master Long Eyebrow’s kasaya stirred without any wind, and he carried an air of lofty dignity about him.

“What do you mean by pretending, and what do you mean by not pretending? I just wanted to see where you two distinguished monks live,” said Julius Reed, taking in the heavily guarded villa and nodding, “The Leopold Family is indeed a century-old family, with rich heritage! It seems somewhat wasteful to give such a luxurious villa to two monks like yourselves!”

The villa was surrounded by many trees, and one couldn’t see what was happening inside from the outside. Moreover, the area was quite remote, with a number of guards watching over the perimeter.

“Heaven has a path that you refuse to take; hell has no gate yet you barge in!”

After a slight surprise, Master Pendleton’s mood gradually calmed down. The last battle had left a significant shadow on him, to the point that he always felt a bit of fear when facing Julius Reed.

But now, with Master Long Eyebrow right behind him, Master Pendleton wasn’t too panicked. He knew full well the fighting prowess of his senior brother.

“Last time I let you escape, but this time I won’t be lenient!”

Julius Reed, with his hands clasped behind his back, said coldly, “The two of you, come at me together!”

“Junior brother, step back! This man is obstinate and refuses to be saved. I must take action myself to eliminate this scourge!”

Master Long Eyebrow took a step forward, and a strong wind suddenly arose in the originally calm villa!

The trees began to sway with the gusts, and the leaves rustled sharply.

In just an instant, the only thing that remained between heaven and earth was a murderous aura!

“Benefactor, make your move! I don’t want you to harbor any resentments before dying; though the outcome will be the same, allowing you to repent before you perish is my merciful Buddhist duty!”

Master Long Eyebrow’s eyes were slightly closed as he chanted softly.

The raging wind became more and more severe, and with the chanting, illusions began to faintly appear before Julius Reed.

Another trick like Master Pendleton’s, designed to bewilder the mind!

“Since it’s like this, I won’t hold back!”

Julius Reed turned his right hand into a fist and smashed it towards Master Long Eyebrow in the air!

Boom!

Master Long Eyebrow struck out with a palm, directly repelling Julius Reed!

But at the same time, a stream of Inner Strength followed along his palm and entered directly into his body!

“Inner Strength!”

Master Long Eyebrow’s brow creased as he rapidly retreated, pressing a palm fiercely against the ground!

Boom!

The boulder-laid path cracked wide open with a pit!

And with that, the illusions also completely vanished, as if they had never existed at all.

Only after discharging that force of Inner Strength onto the boulders, did Master Long Eyebrow finally take a deep breath, his face revealing a grave expression.

“Who exactly are you!”

Now, he truly understood why his junior brother had repeatedly confirmed it. The opponent really was a master, and not just any master but a superb one of the rarest kind!

“A master of Inner Strength, definitely not a simple man!”

He tried to see through Julius Reed, but Reed’s expression remained utterly undisturbed.

“I’m just an ordinary person, but unfortunately you insist on opposing me and even want to forcibly convert me. I have a wife at home beautiful as flowers, how could I bear to die?”

Julius Reed shrugged his shoulders, speaking with a helpless tone, “You really are annoying!”

“It seems you refuse to speak then? Young man, your skills are impressive, and in time, you will surely become a formidable force! It is just a great pity that I have to eliminate you now! Otherwise, in the future, there will be endless trouble!”

Master Long Eyebrow tried hard to recall but couldn’t remember a junior like this.

So young yet possessing such high cultivation!

Being in his twenties and already mastering Inner Strength was exceedingly rare; in his memory, such people simply didn’t exist!

When cutting grass, one must remove the roots!

“Junior brother, bring me my Buddha Beads!”

With a loud shout from Master Long Eyebrow, Master Pendleton vanished from the spot immediately.
