Chapter 455: Zhang, are you playing Dragon Ball here?

The next moment, Liang Yu’s words confirmed his earlier thought.

The suicidal Liang Yu looked at Master Huinian and asked,

“I want to meet that deity of your Zen Sect.”

“Do you know if there’s a way?”

“Or you can just have Him come see me.”

Liang Yu’s voice wasn’t loud, but Hui Nian heard him exceptionally clearly. However, to Liang Yu’s surprise, the other party didn’t show any emotion.

Instead, it seemed to have triggered something significant. Hui Nian then began reciting a very formulaic speech to Liang Yu.

This speech seemed to be prepared specifically for the pilgrims.

Liang Yu interrupted Hui Nian’s verbal outpouring halfway through and then very seriously stated that he truly had important business with their deity.

Then Hui Nian reached out, pointed at the visiting pilgrims, and said to Liang Yu,

“Look at these pilgrims; aren’t they all here with important matters to seek an audience with the deity? But how can a deity be so easily met?”

Hui Nian said with a calm expression.

Liang Yu frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. He wasn’t one of those ordinary pilgrims.

Seeing that it was pointless to talk more with Hui Nian, Liang Yu turned directly, intending to go inside and find Zen Master Qizhen.

As he slowly turned, that slender yet strong hand gently rested on his shoulder.

The fingertips applied slight pressure, conveying an undeniable meaning, which was clear enough—he didn’t want him to disturb Zen Master Qizhen.

He paused slightly, looked back, and saw Hui Nian smiling, his eyes filled with concern and sincerity.

The hand on his shoulder was like an invisible barrier, stopping his forward steps.

Liang Yu felt the continuous flow of Qi from Hui Nian’s hand, restricting his movements, but it caused no harm to his body.

Hui Nian said softly,

“Zen Master Qizhen is in secluded cultivation; it’s not appropriate to disturb Him at this moment.”

Liang Yu looked at Hui Nian; he didn’t believe a single punctuation mark of what he said about being in secluded cultivation.

If he were to pull out the Emperor Armor belt now and perform an Armor Combine, he’d like to see if Qi Zhen could remain still.

However, Liang Yu had a change of thought: if he couldn’t ask Qi Zhen, asking Hui Nian seemed to be almost the same.

After all, Hui Nian was Qi Zhen’s closed-door disciple, so he should know some secrets.

His expression was frank, without any evasion or concealment, looking directly at the person opposite him.

“Alright, since Zen Master Qizhen is inconvenient, then asking you is the same.”

“Master Huinian should have heard about the abyss, right?”

As he said this, Liang Yu looked at Hui Nian, waiting for his answer.

However, he naturally knew about things like the abyss, so he didn’t hesitate and nodded at Liang Yu.

So Liang Yu asked the second question.

“I want to ask about the abyss. There’s a gate that suddenly appeared, connected to the abyss. How can this gate be closed?”

“I’ve tried many methods, including forceful destruction, but it had no effect at all.”

His voice was clear and strong, echoing in the silent space.

At the same time, Hui Nian’s hand, which was restraining Liang Yu, was unexpectedly flung away without warning, which greatly surprised Hui Nian.

What surprised him was not just his hand being flung away, but also the gate connected to the abyss that Liang Yu asked about.

A complex expression flashed across Hui Nian’s face, as if he hadn’t expected Liang Yu to be so direct, asking about this matter in front of so many people.

After a moment of silence, Hui Nian slowly raised his head, his eyes carrying a hint of solemnity.

“This is not the place to talk; please follow me.”

After Hui Nian arranged matters for the pilgrims, he led Liang Yu to the main hall in the back courtyard.

Upon entering the hall, Master Huinian gestured for Liang Yu to sit down, then went straight to the point.

“That gate connected to the abyss is no ordinary object; forceful destruction is naturally useless.”

When Liang Yu heard Hui Nian say this, it meant that he truly knew, and his eyes immediately lit up. Liang Yu then felt that he must also know how to find that demon god in the Gods and Demons Abyss.

So Liang Yu did not interrupt him, waiting for him to continue.

“It has ancient restrictions left on it, and this restriction has been protecting the gate.”

“As for how to close it, I really have no way. If we had a way outside our borders, it would have been closed long ago.”

Liang Yu frowned; he hadn’t expected Hui Nian’s words to have such a twist. His eyes narrowed slightly as he wondered if the other party was deliberately retaliating against him.

His gaze was naturally caught by Hui Nian, who then began to explain.

“Although I have no way, I didn’t say there’s absolutely no way.”

????

After hearing Hui Nian’s words, Liang Yu cast a questioning look at him. If he didn’t give him an explanation today, he would definitely transform and come back to give him a beating.

Hui Nian, completely unaware of the impending danger, then told Liang Yu a legend.

It is widely known that the key to closing this abyss gate, which brings endless disaster to the world, lies in a mysterious token.

However, this crucial token was divided into five pieces, scattered across various corners of the world.

Each piece of the token is hidden amidst layers of danger; some are guarded deep within ancient and mysterious ruins, full of mechanisms and traps; others are sealed in the lairs of powerful demonic beasts, where a slight misstep could lead to becoming their prey.

When the five pieces of the token finally gather, a miraculous light instantly blossoms.

In the light, the tokens slowly merge, emitting a powerful and pure force, and this force is enough to contend with the evil power of the abyss gate.

After listening, Liang Yu applauded Hui Nian’s little story, and at the same time, he complained to him,

“Why don’t you say there are seven fragments, and gathering them all can summon a deity to grant a wish?”

Unexpectedly, Hui Nian’s expression was unusually serious. After pondering for a moment, he actually nodded in affirmation.

“Indeed, there was such a saying, but I lean more towards the former.”

“After all, deities wouldn’t grant mortals’ wishes just like that.”

Liang Yu’s fists hardened!

His fists hardened!

The only thing he wanted to do now was to beat Hui Nian up.

Who was Hui Nian trying to fool?

If this method were truly effective, then why, for so many years in their dynasty, had no one gone to search for it? Instead, the border annually required so many lives to fill the abyss.

Therefore, Liang Yu’s gaze towards Hui Nian was now very unfriendly, as if he would explode and beat him up the next moment.

However, Hui Nian continued to talk about the token, providing clues to Liang Yu.

Two of the five tokens had already been found: one fell into the hands of the royal family, and the second was in the Zen Sect.

Both of these were owned, so Hui Nian naturally wouldn’t let Liang Yu try to snatch them.

The key point was that he provided information about the third token fragment, meaning he naturally wanted Liang Yu to go search for this third token fragment.
