You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Senior Chu Takes Action
In a group called “Moon Worship Cult,” Yin Wanshan was looking at Lingxuan’s message.
Monk Lingxuan of Ci’en Temple: The situation is just like this. My incompetent disciple arrived just in time to prevent a catastrophe. Amitabha Buddha!
Mo Dao: No way, which sect is tired of living? They even used Corpse Raising spells!
Seven Sword Immortals: Just show yourselves already. Seriously, this feeling of being held back is so annoying!
Jingsxue: Everyone, calm down. Hasn’t Fellow Daoist Chu already stated his thoughts? What do you all think?
Monk Lingxuan of Ci’en Temple: Amitabha Buddha, this action is likely contrary to the original intention of my Buddha.
He Family Ancestor He Yuntian: Actually, I think it’s fine, it’s not like they’re causing trouble in our territory anyway.
Jingsxue: I believe Fellow Daoist He’s words hold merit! Master Lingxuan, the Buddha has compassion for all beings and should do everything in his power to protect them!
Monk Lingxuan of Ci’en Temple: Amitabha Buddha, Daoist Jingsxue’s words are reasonable, but I do not wish to cause a great slaughter.
Seven Sword Immortals: Master has a broad mind, but…
Monk Lingxuan of Ci’en Temple: I only wish to transcend the donor.
Mo Dao:
Ru Men Walker Qi Yun: Master’s compassion encompasses the world, truly profound Buddhist teachings!
Seven Sword Immortals: +1
Monk Lingxuan of Ci’en Temple: Amitabha Buddha, everyone’s praise is too much.
Jingsxue: What about the others, do they agree to do this?
Seven Sword Immortals: No problem.
Mo Dao: +1
He Family Ancestor He Yuntian: +1
Ru Men Walker Qi Yun: +1
Monk Lingxuan of Ci’en Temple: Where is Fellow Daoist Chu?
Jingsxue: Could he already have gone?
Seven Sword Immortals: If he went, should we still go?
Ru Men Walker Qi Yun: Calm down! We shouldn’t have gone in the first place!
Tempered Body Chu Tianlong: Quiet down, you guys. I’m hiding here. You keep sending messages, and I’m exposed! I’m being chased by a whole bunch of people right now!
Tempered Body Chu Tianlong: [Numerous figures. jpg]
Tempered Body Chu Tianlong: [Voice message]
Yin Wanshan curiously opened the voice message, and then…
A thunderous voice rang in his ears, startling him.
“You six old farts! I’m in ambush! I’m about to strike, and you’re sending stupid messages! Now I’ve got a dozen Minor Ascension Ninth Stage cultivators on my tail! I’m going to be killed! ”
Yin Wanshan cleaned out his ears, preparing to see others’ reactions, and then…
Monk Lingxuan of Ci’en Temple: Amitabha Buddha, did any of you hear Fellow Daoist Chu’s voice message?
Jingsxue: I…
Seven Sword Immortals: How was it? High profanity content?
Mo Dao: I will make this kid taste my Mo Ling Twelve Blades later!
Ru Men Walker Qi Yun: His insults are so unliterary! I’ll teach him how to curse properly when I get back!
Jingsxue: But isn’t Fellow Daoist Chu at the Great Ascension Realm? How could he be chased by a bunch of Minor Ascension Realm cultivators?
Tempered Body Chu Tianlong: [Voice message]
Yin Wanshan pondered, whether or not to open it, finally deciding to transcribe the voice message into text.
Thankfully, this time the content was more civilized, without excessive profanity.
Chu Tianlong explained that he was using the Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain strategy, and had left a clone at the target location. After leading those Minor Ascension Realm cultivators far enough away, he would switch places using the connection between his True Self and clone to cause trouble.
He also didn’t want to cause a great slaughter; the karmic consequences would be too great. Moreover, a Great Ascension Realm cultivator attacking that many Condensation Core Realm cultivators was beneath him, even if nobody knew who he was.
…
The next morning, Su Qin’an didn’t feel like going to work, so he and Xie Yingqing stayed home to watch the morning news.
“According to reports, around ten o’clock last night, an unidentified flying object appeared in London, John Bull. Its appearance seemed human-like. The object fell from the sky, lifted cars from the road, and caused widespread destruction, resulting in significant economic losses. Now, let’s watch the VCR! ”
The TV screen switched to the scene in London, John Bull at ten o’clock last night.
Chu Tianlong, six feet tall, muscular, wearing a mask, stood on the street, holding a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and threw it at a telephone booth.
With a loud bang, the telephone booth shattered, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom turned into a pile of scrap metal amidst the heartbroken cries of countless men.
Chu Tianlong roared, hair standing on end: “Until you come out, I’ll keep doing this! Let’s see who can last longer! ”
“Ah! A Rolls-Royce Phantom! How expensive! ”
“No way, who is this man? How can he lift a car so easily? ”
“Is it a new type of robot developed by the nation? But it looks so real. ”
“Physics is broken!!”
People watching the news around the world couldn’t help but discuss.
Especially the men, all verbally attacked Chu Tianlong for smashing the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The screen switched to a reporter interviewing the head of John Bull’s Ministry of Science and Technology.
Reporter: “Minister John, is this robot your latest scientific achievement, undergoing testing? But if it’s a test, isn’t using a Rolls-Royce Phantom a bit too expensive? ”
Minister John: “Yes, that’s our latest scientific achievement, a simulation robot, with the ability to perfectly imitate humans, and with great strength! ”
He wouldn’t say he didn’t know what was going on either!
As for the Rolls-Royce Phantom…
Let’s just call it an accident. If the owner dares to make trouble, just empty the magazine!
Domestic online forums, netizens also expressed doubt that Chu Tianlong was a robot created by John Bull.
TNND Why Not Drink: This… is it really a bionic robot? No bionic robot is this lifelike!
Extermination Abbess’s Top Fan: Absolutely fake! Bionic technology isn’t that advanced! My supervisor specializes in this field, and I just asked him, he said it’s absolutely impossible to have such an advanced bionic robot!
I Don’t Know: +1 upstairs. And listen to his last sentence, although I don’t know the meaning, the voice is definitely not a robot’s. Even the most advanced ones can’t do that!!（I study vocal music, I’m not wrong）
This Brother Shouldn’t Stay Long: If it’s not a robot, what kind of person can lift a car so easily? Even with a single-soldier exoskeleton, only Academician Su’s latest model from a while ago would be possible! （I’m from a military academy, guaranteed）
Not As Good As Old, Not As Good As Young: Okay, you are all professionals, I’m a good-for-nothing…
Nationally Protected Good-for-nothing: Don’t compete with me for the title of good-for-nothing.
“Senior Chu has made his move! ”
Xie Yingqing watched the news, frowning: “But isn’t this a bit reckless? Even though he’s wearing a mask, but… won’t he be recognized? What’s more, this is the Mortal Realm…”
“Master said, this plan was agreed upon by all of them. ”
Su Qin’an chatted with Yin Wanshan while saying: “Master said that the Western Sects’ previous series of actions were just to force us to show ourselves, to put us in the spotlight, so they could appear under the banner of ‘Exorcising Demons and Upholding Righteousness’ and such… but now, Senior Chu has directly taken action, shifting the conflict to their side. ”
“I see…”
Xie Yingqing leaned on the sofa: “Master’s mind is so sharp? As long as the Western Cultivation World doesn’t show up, Senior Chu will cause trouble every day… this is forcing the Western Cultivation World to reveal themselves first! ”
Indeed, in this matter of showing themselves, whoever shows up first will be at a disadvantage.
Yin Wanshan and the other seven, having been engaged in a long game of power with those overseas sects, aimed to avoid being in the disadvantaged position.
