The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 190 Stealing the Relic

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple picked up the relic and gently placed it into a pre-prepared box.

This box is specifically used by Buddhist temples to store relics.

The outside of the box is carved with exquisite Buddhist images of ten thousand Buddhas, all of which are hand-carved, demonstrating the importance that Buddhism places on relics.

Just as the abbot of Zhengfa Temple was about to have the relics put away.

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose in the sky above the temple, dark clouds gathered, and then a figure that blotted out the sun suddenly appeared in the sky.

All the worshippers, believers, and monks present looked up at this terrifying scene.

They had never seen anything like it before.

What is blocking the sun?

It was a sunny day today, so why did the sky suddenly turn cloudy?
After everyone looked up, they saw a huge black roc, its body covering the sky, appear above Zhengfa Temple.

This black roc is naturally the Roc Demon King.

When Peng Demon King arrived at Zhengfa Temple, he saw the scene of the Nirvana Ceremony. His eyes were fixed on the box in the hands of the abbot of Zhengfa Temple. He knew that the box contained relics.

I came here specifically for this.

Inside Zhengfa Temple, the worshippers and believers panicked at the sudden appearance of the great demon. They scrambled to their feet and fled for their lives in a desperate frenzy.

It's no wonder they weren't devout; it's because the Roc Demon King's size was terrifying.

A giant roc, as large as a mountain, suddenly appeared above your head. And you knew it was a demon, yet you didn't run away?

Looking down at the Zhengfa Temple, which was in chaos, people were fleeing everywhere.

Peng Demon King naturally wouldn't focus his attention on these ordinary people; killing them wouldn't make a difference.

And it was a waste of his time; his goal was relics.

The next second, the voice of the Peng Demon King descended from the sky: "Everyone, I have no intention of taking action. As long as you obediently cooperate with my demands and hand over the items, I will spare your lives."

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple looked grim. Looking at the giant roc above his head, he could sense its power.

A great demon of the nine thousand years level, and only one step away from entering the ten thousand years level, such a top-level great demon is not something he can deal with.

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and asked, "I wonder what Benefactor Yaopeng wants from us?"

The Black Roc Demon laughed and said, "I need some of your Buddhist artifacts. Hand over all the artifacts in your Zhengfa Temple, and I will leave naturally."

It was clear that this black roc was after the Buddhist artifacts within their sect.

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, thinking that the temple had come for the relics.

If it's just about the ritual implements, then that's acceptable.

At worst, it's like paying money to buy peace of mind.

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple nodded.

He knew he couldn't defeat the black roc, so he ordered his men to quickly bring out all the Buddhist artifacts in the temple.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. If I die here today, then I'm truly finished.

Although the high-ranking Buddhist masters under his command were somewhat unwilling, they also knew that those who were aware of the times were wise, and since they were currently at a disadvantage, they could only submit to this black roc for the time being.

So the monks began to move the ritual implements.

Before long, all the ritual implements inside the temple were brought out.

After these magical artifacts were brought out, the Black Roc Demon looked at the artifacts scattered all over the ground and expressed his satisfaction.

The monks at Zhengfa Temple were quite pragmatic and understood their situation. So, the next second, the black roc flapped its wings.

A beam of black light shot out from beneath his wings, instantly engulfing all the magical artifacts on the ground, which he then collected.

Seeing the black roc take away all the ritual implements in Zhengfa Temple, it was impossible for the abbot not to feel heartache. After all, these ritual implements were accumulated by their temple for more than 100 years and the efforts of several generations. They were hard-won!
However, he also knew that he had no choice but to swallow this loss. He would still make the choice between losing the sacred artifact and the destruction of the entire temple.

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple thought the black roc would leave after taking the magical artifact, but what it said the next second broke his guard.

The Demon King Peng looked toward the abbot of Zhengfa Temple.

"Hand over that box you're holding as well; the relics inside are something I also want."

Upon hearing this, the abbot of Zhengfa Temple completely lost his composure. He was already heartbroken enough to hand over all the temple's ritual implements.

I never expected that this Roc Demon King would even take the relics with him; he really doesn't leave behind a single needle or thread.

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple knew that the relics were more important than all the temple's ritual implements.

He said, “Benefactor, don’t push your luck. Don’t think that we Buddhists are easy targets for you to bully. I can give you the ritual implements, but this relic was left by a master who passed away in my temple. It is a treasure of our Buddhist sect. I will never give this to you.”

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple gritted his teeth.

Don't push your luck too far, it's not good to drive an honest person too far.

I've given you all the ritual implements, but I absolutely cannot give you the relics.

Peng Demon King was furious when he saw that these bald guys from Zhengfa Temple still dared to bare their teeth at him.

"How dare you! There's nothing I can't get my hands on. You think you can negotiate with me?"

With a flap of its wings, the Black Roc Demon directly struck down from a distance, and the terrifying wings cleaved the sky in the next second.

He slapped the abbot of Zhengfa Temple flying.

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple was instantly seriously injured, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

He was sent flying backwards, breaking at least three or four of his ribs.

However, the next second, the abbot of Zhengfa Temple quickly got up from the ground and fled directly into the Mahavira Hall.

He directly instructed all the high-ranking masters in Zhengfa Temple to activate the formation.

Endless Buddhist light emanated from the Mahavira Hall.

The abbot of Zhengfa Temple said, “Demon, although I cannot defeat you, our Buddhist sect is protected by the Buddha. The Buddha’s light is here. Why don’t you retreat quickly? Otherwise, you will surely die when the Buddha’s light shines on you.”

The Buddha is enshrined inside the Mahavira Hall.

The Buddha is the most revered Buddha in Buddhism.

This Buddha Tathagata possessed immense magical power; he was the one who suppressed the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, back then.

Inside the main hall of Zhengfa Temple, as the Buddha's light shone forth, the abbot seemed to have found his guiding principle.

He firmly believed that with the protection of the Buddha's light, the black roc could do nothing to him.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the black roc suddenly swooped down.

I'm not afraid at all.

With a single claw, it grabbed directly onto the main hall, shattering the Buddha's light that filled the entire hall.

After the Buddha's light shattered, Hei Peng directly dragged the abbot out of the Mahavira Hall.

Black Roc Demon: "Buddha Tathagata? If he really came today, I would have to give way. But with just a ray of Buddha's light, do you think I would be afraid?"
