Chapter 1153 The Master of the Gods
One from the south, one from the north, a spear and a sword appeared simultaneously in Zhou You's palm.

The shock was no less than that of an earthquake; the surrounding area was in uproar, and no one could believe their eyes.

The effect was excellent. Although Dongfang Daqian was weakened, it was also surprising that he was so easily affected.

"No, he did it on purpose!"

Some people noticed the clues: Zhou You was more skilled in swordsmanship, while Zheng Zhenbei Ge was not. He deliberately used two top-notch techniques from the south and north at the same time in order to catch the enemy off guard and deliver the final blow.

In fact, this tactic was remarkably effective.

Zhou You then thrust his sword finger into Dongfang Daqian's chest, locking his bones and tendons. With his other hand, he held the Half-Saint Yin Blade, slightly raising it as if to press it down into Dongfang Daqian's body.

Having succeeded, there was no need to hesitate; let's take advantage of the situation and kill Dongfang Daqian.

Although the situation is chaotic today, it has also brought many hidden dangers to the surface. The enemy has come into the open, making it easier for them to do things.

He had already planned ahead: first kill Dongfang Daqian, then destroy the Martial Arts Monument, and wipe out the remnants of the royal family. Lian Feihong was the undisputed next emperor.

With a hissing sound, a large patch of black light flashed, and Mu Leizheng made his move.

This female master was loyal; despite the huge difference in strength between her and Zhou You, she vowed to rescue her master.

"Ok?"

Zhou You was slightly surprised. Mu Leizheng's fist technique contained vitality within its deathly stillness. More importantly, it had a similar flavor to his teleportation technique, which was obviously also from the inheritance of that martial saint.

Even with the sacrifice, he showed no mercy. He flicked his finger on the back of the blade, and with a buzzing sound, a wisp of light detached from the blade and transformed into a hundred-foot waterfall that struck Mu Leizheng.

The black lightning on Mu Leizheng's body shattered into countless fragments as if struck by a sledgehammer.

No one could stop Zhou You from killing him now. He slightly dragged the blade, and blood oozed from the wound.

The next moment, the Half-Saint Yin Blade slashed at the ground, carving a bottomless trench into the solid ground.

The strike missed its mark, and Dongfang Daqian miraculously escaped the fatal decapitation attack at the last moment.

"who is it?"

Dongfang Daqian was also unaware that someone was grabbing the back of his neck, and he hadn't even realized that he had been rescued.

The members of the Buddhist sect, however, stared at the figure behind him as if they had seen a ghost, asking, "How come it's you?"

The man put down Dongfang Daqian and said calmly, "Why can't it be me?"

A hurried voice rang out from the crowd, "Master of the Shakyamuni Cult!"

This title caused an uproar. What? The Shakyamuni sect has a leader? No, that's not right. The Shakyamuni sect has always been governed by five temples, with the four temple masters deciding the general trend by voting.

I've never heard of any leader in the Buddhist sect.
"What nonsense are you spouting? This person is no longer a member of my Buddhist sect, and my Buddhist sect has never had a leader."

The Southern Cult Leader firmly denied it, his gaze towards the other party filled with complex emotions.

Dongfang Daqian snapped out of his daze, cupped his hands in gratitude to his savior behind him, and cried out as if struck by lightning, "Master!"

His address of "Master" undoubtedly conveyed the relationship between the two to the onlookers.

The 'Master of the Gods' smiled and nodded, 'Young man, the first lesson I'll teach you is that if you want to achieve great things, you must first guard against arrogance and impetuosity!'

"Look at yourself, what were you like before? This failure has actually benefited you, you're not at a loss."

The question came from the Western Palace Master: "Lingyun Palace, when did you become a member of the race's religion?"

"There's no other way. The Shakyamuni God Sect doesn't want me. If they won't keep me here, there are plenty of other places that will!" As they spoke, the descendants of the Martial Saints and the core members of the various races sects all bowed to the 'Shakyamuni God Sect Leader', Prince Lingyun, and called out, "Sect Leader."

It turns out he wasn't the leader of the cult of gods, but the leader of the cult of human race.

"Half Saint!"

A resounding term reached everyone's ears, and the speaker was none other than Zhou You.

Zhou You recalled the scene just now: at the critical moment, in a flash, this mysterious man saved Dongfang Daqian from the blade, and casually ran a finger across the blade, his movements faster than lightning.

The strength revealed within it has surpassed that of the Heavenly Sect, making it a semi-saint on par with the Heavenly Southern Divine Sword.

Another demigod, and a long-hidden leader of the human race.

This Lingyun Palace member came from the Buddhist sect and was once selected as one of the Five Heavenly Kings along with the Western Palace Master. He was a prodigy in the Heavenly Sect and later became one of the Palace Masters.

Whether it's martial arts skills, preaching, governance, or teaching disciples, Lingyun Hall has no weaknesses and excels in every aspect, surpassing its peers. It can be described as a genius among geniuses.

He practiced ten different esoteric mudras simultaneously, and had followers and admirers in various temples who regarded him as the future of Buddhism.

As a result, he almost broke the pattern of the five palaces jointly ruling.

That was the most thrilling event in the history of Buddhism.

At that time, 80% of the followers of the four halls in the east, west, south and north favored Lingyun Hall. The hall masters could not suppress the public sentiment and wanted to elect Lingyun Hall as the first leader of the Shishen Sect.

If he were to become the leader and unify the power of the Buddhist sect, it would undoubtedly bring about earth-shattering changes to the situation in all fifty states of the world.

As a result, on the day the leader was elected, Lingyun Palace uttered some outrageous and rebellious words in public, triggering a tsunami of fear.

It was because of his words that many supporters became disloyal and assisted the four palace masters in expelling Lingyun Palace.

From then on, Lingyun Palace became one of the taboos of the Shishen Sect, known only to high-ranking members at the level of the Palace Master.

As his contemporary, the Western Temple Master had personally experienced that period of history, and his feelings were the most complex.

The Lingyun Palace is like the sun in the sky, its radiance attracting everyone's attention and making the Western Palace Master look like a nobody.

When Lingyun Palace was already a Heavenly Sect and was about to be elected as its leader, the Western Palace Master was still a deputy who was training alongside the Palace Master. He was not only not a high-ranking member, but he had not even reached the Earthly Sect realm.

After Lingyun Palace was expelled, the older generation retired one after another, and it was time for him to rise to prominence.

The past is like smoke. When they meet again, Lingyun Palace is still that radiant and invincible man, looking down on all living beings.

He's already a half-saint! How terrifying!
The Western Palace Master remained silent, and the other three Palace Masters beside him were also at a loss. Suddenly, they thought of the Eastern Great Thousand, who had gained favor by entering the Heavenly Palace and obtaining the Great Thousand Seal. Perhaps it was the Lingyun Palace that was behind it.

In terms of familiarity with the inner workings of the Buddhist sect, Lingyun Palace is probably even more knowledgeable than its several palace masters.

Unfortunately, the Shishen Sect had previously made an alliance with the Eastern Great Thousand Realms, and now it's too late to go back on their word.

It's too late for regrets. If they had known earlier that the Human Race Sect was backed by the Lingyun Palace, the Shishen Sect wouldn't have made such a huge blunder.

"Zhou Daqian, call out the person behind you!"

Lingyun Palace looked Zhou You up and down, nodded, and then shook his head, saying, "You have too many connections behind you. Every move you make is not in your own hands, but is driven by the will of others."

"Today's events may not be so easy to resolve."

When the half-life-old man spoke, everyone present, even the deaf, had to prick up their ears to listen, not missing a single word.
