Chapter 601: Chapter 72 Good Brother Stop Teasing Me
Chapter 601 -72 Good Brother Stop Teasing Me
The monk stood in the center of the Thousand Buddha Temple, surrounded by corpses, watching the servants clean up the battlefield, his eyes closed, saying nothing.
Despite the fact that the “cooked duck” had somehow flown away, where a normal person would be beating their chest and stamping their feet with frustration, he, with his deep schemes and plans, did not show any sign of disturbance but silently moved his prayer beads in his hand, contemplating his next move.
With a population of three to four million people and countless buildings, trying to find two people hiding in the complex environment of Maowu City was no easy task.
The current plan either required mobilizing a large number of people to search every mountain and inspect every house, or using some divine skills…
Mobilizing a large number of people posed one problem: there were nearly fifty to sixty districts in Maowu City, each managed by one of the sorcerer leaders, who were colleagues of a sort. He had uneasy relations with many of them. If the search became too great and alarmed those with ill intentions, they might intentionally leak the information to the City Lord, complicating matters.
Zhou Hongyu was not only adept at the Fire Blazing Dao Method but also had an exceedingly indomitable character, making her the chosen one to become the Red Lotus Buddha Mother, and she was also the captain of the Huofeng Team of Lu Country. Having one more Red Lotus Buddha Mother had nothing to do with the sorcerers outside of the Red Lotus Zen, but missing a captain of the Huofeng Team meant that when Lu Country’s troops came to suppress, the entire Maowu City could be in grave danger.
After much consideration, he decided that it was crucial to prevent any leaks, no matter how much trouble he had to go through, ensuring that everything remained within this district.
Thus, he had to resort to the use of the Red Lotus Demon Sound. Zhou Hongyu had been poisoned with the Red Lotus Fire Poison and wouldn’t be able to purge it so quickly, making it the perfect opportunity to use this demonic sound to locate her.
Making up his mind, the old monk held his bowl and headed toward the direction of the Thousand Buddha Temple.
————————
Inside a house, Zhou Hongyu sat cross-legged on the bed, healing and purging the poison, with Yan Yu guarding her.

At the moment, she suffered from two maladies: one was the fire poison, and the other was a poison of the heart.
Zhou Hongyu, skilled in the Fire Blazing Dao Method, had an extremely high affinity for Fire-Attribute True Essence, and purging the fire poison from her body was effortless. She quickly cleansed most of it, her reddened skin returning to its beautiful appearance.
However, her mental state was not as strong. Her Dao Heart was unstable, and she struggled to consolidate her mental state and clarify her Sea of Consciousness. No matter what she tried, she couldn’t focus her thoughts.
It was as if there were a hundred and eighty monks continuously chanting in her mind, making her so irritable that she wanted to explode on the spot. Seeing Yan Yu playing with his phone, she couldn’t help but ask:
“Yan Yu, tell me, we first met during the intercollegiate exchange competition, right? Why did you have to pick on me from the start?”
“Huh? No.” Yan Yu felt it was rather inexplicable, “Did I pick on you?”
“Whether you deliberately irritated me or not, you know best.” Zhou Hongyu said coldly.
“Oh.” After pondering for a moment, Yan Yu asked back, “Is it possible that it’s not that I always like to provoke you, but rather that you have a temper that flares up at the slightest thing and can’t take a joke?”
Zhou Hongyu, not convinced, responded:
“With so many pretty girls in your team, why do you have to focus on me and constantly come over to tease and bother me?”
“Hey, you can eat anything you want, but don’t talk nonsense!” Yan Yu’s expression changed immediately, “How has it become an issue of my having feelings for you? I came here to rescue you because I was given a mission from above, okay?”
Zhou Hongyu stayed silent, her expression turning even more obscure and difficult.
Seeing her fall into silence and unsure of what she was thinking, Yan Yu waved his hand and said:
“If you don’t want to deal with me, it’s simple. Just purge the toxins from your body quickly, and then we can use Sword Control to return to Lu Country. Otherwise, if you lose control and fall off the Flying Sword halfway, I won’t be responsible…”
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, the sound of Buddhist music arose in the distance. It sounded like the striking of evening drums and morning bells, resounding through the heavens, the reverberation lingering on without end.
Yan Yu’s expression changed slightly—it was the Red Lotus Demon Sound!
As its name implies, the Red Lotus Demon Sound was a secret technique from the Red Lotus Zen. Though it was Buddhist chanting, it transformed into different seductive and misleading words in the ears of different people, targeting the listener’s mental vulnerabilities.
Ordinary people, upon hearing it, became brainwashed, instantly turned into zealous believers of the Red Lotus Zen. As for the Transcendents, if they could keep their mental state stable and ignore it, they would be fine. But if their Dao Heart faltered, at the very least their Cultivation would regress, and in the worst case, they would descend into madness!
Yan Yu, who had lived two lifetimes, had a firm Dao Heart, and no matter what the Devil’s voice sang, he treated it like a buzzing mosquito by his ear, paying no attention and thus remained unharmed.
Zhou Hongyu, however, did not possess such a composure. First, she heard idle gossip from fellow classmates about her lack of parents, then her mother’s condemnation calling her a loss, blaming her for being unfilial, and finally her grandmother’s cry for help as she suffered a stroke, pleading, “Granddaughter, save me…” All these sounds broke her Dao Heart, her complexion reddened, eyes filling with blood, her mind filled with limitless sorrow. Combined with the residual karma stirring within her, she was assaulted from within and without, on the verge of descending into madness right then and there.
Seeing this, Yan Yu turned pale with shock—he knew her mental state was fragile, but he hadn’t expected it to be this weak!
The Red Lotus Demon Sound targeted the soul; even making oneself deaf would not help. To assist someone in blocking out the Demon Sound, one had to find a way to shift their focus, preventing their attention from being manipulated by it.
So, Yan Yu leaped onto the bed, and slapped Zhou Hongyu across her beautiful face, shouting:
“Wench! If you listen to that Demon Sound any longer, beware of descending into madness!”
Zhou Hongyu’s face stung with pain—never having suffered such humiliation. All the sorrows provoked by the Demon Sound transformed instantly into fierce anger, and she quickly scuffled with Yan Yu.
