When Li Chen arrived at the backyard of the Snake Spirit Temple, an old monk was sweeping the courtyard with a broom.
Upon seeing Li Chen's arrival, he folded his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Amitabha Buddha, if I am not mistaken, you must be Immortal Master Li, famed throughout Huaxia?"
Li Chen's expression was solemn as he took a careful look at the sweeping monk and nodded slightly.
"Indeed, I am Immortal Master Li. And who might you be?"
The old monk said, "I am the abbot of the Snake Spirit Temple, known to others as Master Anling!"
Li Chen spoke with a firm voice, "I am here to slay the five Spiritual Snakes. Are you going to stop me?"
The old monk replied, "Amitabha Buddha, as the abbot of the Snake Spirit Temple, it is my duty to protect the temple!"
"Very well, since that's the case, I will send you to meet the Buddha in the Western Pure Land!"
