Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 43 My Buddha is Merciful
The powerful and strong in the depths of the Forbidden Palace did not pursue them, nor did they send orders to encircle and suppress the rebels. In addition, Xiao Ying and his men were all high-level fighters, and they were able to fly over rooftops and walls, avoiding a large number of rebels.

The journey out of the palace was quite smooth, and he saved many people along the way.

By the time Xiao Ying and the others left the high walls of the Forbidden Palace, the number of people had soared from forty-one to more than seven hundred, and most of them had cultivated themselves.

Among the more than 700 people, there are about 400 palace maids, about 200 eunuchs, more than 100 brave guards and dozens of concubines, imperial physicians, royal chefs, etc. Most of them are of the fifth-grade Dan Jin or above, and the proportion of strong people is extremely high. This is also one of the main reasons why Xiao Ying and others would rescue them.

Unfortunately, the emperor's sons and princesses, senior officials and ministers were the rebels' primary focus, and were targeted for siege and capture, so they were not rescued.

"Chi, chi, chi..."

Sharp arrows pierced the air with a piercing sound. Xiao Ying and his group of more than 700 people, possessed by the Star Soul, easily crossed the high walls of the Forbidden Palace and blocked the attacking sharp arrows.

The rebels' main method was long-range shooting. They did not get close to pursue and kill, and they did not even gather their troops!
"Master Xiao!"

"grown ups!"

The servants who stayed outside the palace came to support, and seeing Xiao Ying and the other two bringing out so many people, most of whom had high cultivation levels, they were even more respectful, admiring and recognizing them!

At this moment, in the bloody and chaotic Forbidden Palace, everyone was desperately trying to escape, but Xiao Ying was the only one who resolutely entered the palace and rescued so many people. Isn't this worthy of admiration?!

"Let's go! Gather the main group!"

At a command, the entire team of strong men and above quickly left and rushed to the direction of Qiling Temple to meet up with the Dugu family and other large groups.

"Forbidden Palace... I'll be back soon..."

As he left, Xiao Ying looked back at the Forbidden Palace, murmuring with ambition surging.

The originally grand and solemn Forbidden Palace was now shrouded in murderous clouds, filled with murderous aura, and bloody. There were also countless burning beacons, and even roars and screams could be faintly heard in the distance. It was like purgatory.

Every change of imperial power is a purgatory, a rebirth from the ashes, symbolizing the end of the old era and the rise of the new era...

……

With the speed of Xiao Ying and his group, they quickly caught up with the main group.

At this time, there were still rebels chasing and attacking the large group, but the intensity was obviously much less, and there was no encirclement from all sides, so naturally it did not slow down the large group much.

It is obvious that the rebels did not completely ignore the Dugu camp, but they gave up on the all-out encirclement and suppression, and did not dispatch troops to surround, kill, and intercept.

This is not because the rebels are foolish and are letting the tiger go back to the mountains, but because they have their own plans.

At this time when the whole city is in chaos, it is not a good idea to mobilize rebel forces from all sides and deploy large-scale troops to encircle and suppress them!
After all, the most important thing for the rebels now is to control the Forbidden Palace, stabilize Jiangdu, and then control the entire Jiangdu. By then, the Dugu camp will be trapped.

……

The sun rises in the sky, and the world is bright.

The large group of Dugu's camp has just arrived at Qiling Temple.

At this time, the Qiling Temple was packed with people. A large black mass almost covered all directions of the vast Qiling Temple. From civil officials and military generals, to nobles in gorgeous clothes, to heroes of the martial arts world and common people, there was everyone.

The news that people headed by Empress Xiao who were loyal to the Sui Dynasty had temporarily retreated to the Qiling Temple spread, which attracted so many people!

Never underestimate people's hearts and the speed of news dissemination. Although the news that Empress Xiao summoned people loyal to the Sui Dynasty and provided certain protection was only passed on to some forces, it quickly spread throughout Jiangdu.

Soon, a group of people led by Xiao Ying, Dugu Sheng and other leaders of forces arrived at the main gate of Qiling Temple.

Empress Xiao, the Four Concubines of the Sui Dynasty, and Abbot Lingzhen Master were already waiting outside the temple. When they saw Xiao Ying and others show up, they were all delighted, and some of them even cried for joy!

"Mother!"

"Greetings, Madam!" "Greetings, Madam!"

Princess Fengming, Dugu Sheng, and other concubines were the first to pay their respects.

"Good! Very good! It's great to be able to gather here!"

Empress Xiao's face was radiant, and her beautiful eyes were bright as she looked deeply at Xiao Ying, feeling happy, relieved and excited. Then she responded softly to everyone in a dignified and appropriate manner.

In fact, although Empress Xiao and others were in Qiling Temple, news of various important places and matters continued to come in. Most of the situations were already known, but it was not as good as seeing them with their own eyes and actually meeting them.

At this time, there were huge crowds of people around Qiling Temple, but it was not chaotic. This was because Qiling Temple and Empress Xiao and others had arranged people to accommodate them. Otherwise, it would have become a mess, and even a river of blood!

"Sister! I'm back!"

After everyone greeted each other, Xiao Ying took a few steps forward, looked at Empress Xiao with shining eyes and said.

"Brother Ying..."

Empress Xiao smiled brightly and could not help but step forward and tightly grasp Xiao Ying's hand, glaring at her and saying, "I'm glad you're alright! Don't be so impulsive in the future!"

Xiao Ying suddenly felt proud and said loudly, patting his chest: "Don't worry, sister! I can even enter and exit the forbidden palace freely. What dangers are there in the world?!"

"Only you can do it!" Empress Xiao spat angrily!
After he finished speaking, he took a few steps sideways and gestured to Xiao Ying and others including Master Lingzhen, the abbot of Qiling Temple, behind him.

"Greetings, Abbot, and all the masters! Thank you for your trouble with your temple. The reputation of this holy place is well-deserved. It will surely be revered by the world and passed down through history!"

Xiao Ying understood and took a few steps forward, bowing solemnly to Master Lingzhen and others.

"Amitabha!"

The monks of Qiling Temple clasped their hands together in return, but saw Master Lingzhen smile bitterly and said helplessly:

"Donor Xiao! You are righteous and benevolent, caring about the people and the world. You are worthy of admiration and have a Buddha-like nature! But... you are a little unkind!"

Empress Xiao and others had different expressions, but they all remained silent.

According to the previous agreement between Empress Xiao and Qiling Temple, there is indeed suspicion of setting up a trap for Qiling Temple.

Although Qiling Temple had indeed sealed its gates, preventing anyone from entering, would the rebels sit idly by with so many people gathered? It was only a matter of time before the army descended upon the temple. Could they allow themselves to be slaughtered? Qiling Temple was essentially doomed. Furthermore, arranging and providing for them would be an extremely complex and arduous undertaking!

In name, this place is still dominated by Empress Xiao and the Four Concubines of the Sui Dynasty, and now at most, the leaders of aristocratic families such as Dugu Sheng are also added.

Master Lingzhen blamed Xiao Ying, but indirectly promoted Xiao Ying and further sold his favor. He also hinted that this favor was only recognized by Xiao Ying in Qiling Temple, and since it fell on Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying also needed to repay it.

"Buddha has mercy on me! I will definitely remember this!"

Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment, then put his hands together, bowed, and responded simply, acknowledging the favor!
Master Lingzhen and the others relaxed and were quite happy.

Although the current situation forced Qiling Temple into a difficult position and it would be difficult to expel so many people even if they wanted to deny their involvement, Qiling Temple could easily ignore or refuse to help, and then completely deny the responsibility afterwards. However, their move was indeed a major factor in identifying Xiao Ying!
"Time waits for no one! The rebels won't give us much time. Why don't we go into the temple to rest and discuss matters?"

Empress Xiao patted Xiao Ying's shoulder with her fair jade-like hand, looked at Master Lingzhen, Dugu Sheng and others, and took the initiative to change the subject!

"That's how it should be!"

"I will obey the Empress' orders!"

Dugu Sheng, Concubine Xu and others responded respectfully, expressing their own positions and attitudes.
