The middle-aged monk in the red cassock with a head of golden hair was Zen Master Yunfeng, the eldest and most powerful of the five great abbots. He was also the abbot of Mahayana Lingyun Temple, one of the five major Buddhist temples. Although he possessed the appearance of a middle-aged man, Zen Master Yunfeng had been cultivating Buddhism for over ten thousand years. A century ago, he had been on the verge of passing away, but after submitting to the Blood Guanyin and receiving enlightenment, he broke through his shackles and entered a new Buddhist realm. His youthful appearance was restored, and his power far surpassed the other four abbots.
"Zen Master Yunfeng, it seems you are quite wary of that devil, Ye Qingyun?" A thin, gaunt old monk holding a staff spoke in a deep voice. This was Zen Master Yanku, the abbot of Western Buddhist Temple.
"An avatar of the Bodhisattva Guanyin is currently at my Putuo Temple, suffering from severe injuries that appear to have been inflicted by that devil, Ye Qingyun," replied Zen Master Zixuan, the abbot of Putuo Temple. "It is only natural for Zen Master Yunfeng to be cautious. I hope the three of you will not underestimate this man; he must be brought to justice."
