The Villain's Counterattack

Jingnian Zen Temple was destroyed, almost all the monks were killed, and the precious books, gold, silver, treasures, food and supplies were looted. Only Master Liaokong and a dozen of his best fighters escaped, and the Four Vajras all became a thing of the past.

Ning Daoqi only owed a favor to Cihang Jingzhai and was not a true lackey of Buddhism. He had repaid a favor by escorting the Heshi Bi to Jingnian Zen Temple, and protecting Shi Feixuan during the emperor selection was a second time. Blocking the evil king Shi Zhixuan during that time was completely an extra service.

Knowing that the leader of the Yingui Sect, Zhu Yuyan, was in Luoyang City, Ning Daoqi was still worried about his master Feixuan traveling alone. Although Zen Master Liaokong made arrangements to strengthen the defense, he was unwilling to expose the true situation. As a result, a huge loophole in the defense of Jingnian Zen Temple was created, and it was destroyed by a sneak attack by a large number of unknown masters.

Of course, it was the monks who were destroyed, the books and wealth were lost, the fields and shop contracts were burned, and other buildings were basically not damaged. It can be seen that the monks of Jingnian Zen Temple did not resist fiercely, and the intruders did not even leave behind a single body of their own.

The destruction of Jingnian Zen Temple had a huge impact. Zen Master Liaokong went mad and possessed himself. The peaceful Buddhist aura on his body instantly turned into murderous intent. The dozen or so disciples of Jingnian Zen Temple who were left around him had bloodshot eyes and looked crazy. Finally, they left the Zen Temple where blood was flowing like a river and began to hunt down the murderer all over the world.

It seems that there are quite a lot of killers, and they use all kinds of messy methods, including knives, guns, sticks, fists, palms, fingers, legs, and even worse are those who were beaten to death with hammers. It is really horrible. But there is one thing that makes people worry. Most of the hundreds of monks did not seem to resist fiercely, and died very quickly and neatly, especially those who were born with good skills.

Yang Xuangan?

The only person that Zen Master Liaokong could think of was him. Only a great master could kill a group of monks with the highest innate abilities effortlessly. However, this person didn't need to conceal his revenge at all, and did Yang Xuangan still have so many subordinates now?

Don't advise others to be good unless you have experienced their suffering. Shi Feixuan is not a fool. The destruction of Jingnian Zen Temple has a huge impact on Buddhism and Cihang Jingzhai, and it is a negative impact. Cihang Jingzhai is hidden in the mountains and no one goes there, so it is relatively safe. At the same time, it also leads to a lack of influence. In order to maintain the status and influence of Cihang Jingzhai as the leader of the righteous path, they launched Jingnian Zen Temple. They never thought that it would be destroyed because of the Heshi Bi.

While thinking about it, Shi Feixuan suddenly realized that the destruction of Jingnian Zen Temple could be due to the Heshi Bi?

This is very likely. In order to build momentum for Li Shimin, Cihang Jingzhai spread the news that whoever obtains the Heshi Bi can gain the whole world. Which hero in the world would not want to obtain this treasure of humanity?

However, wanting to do it is one thing, but having the ability to do it is another.

Could it be that someone suspected that the Heshi Bi was not stolen last night, or that the thief was stolen by the insider, and staged a farce and put the blame on Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.

Frankly speaking, Cihang Jingzhai didn't have much affection for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. As low-level thugs, they were very disgusted by the fact that they couldn't recognize that they were getting involved in the game of fighting for the world among the wealthy families.

Cihang Jingzhai's promotion of Li Shimin was a well-considered decision. The Li clan was one of the four major clans, and its overall strength was even ranked first, stabilizing the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan. If the Song clan did not have Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, they would have been crushed.

However, the strength of the Li family has both advantages and disadvantages for Cihang Jingzhai. Not to mention Li Yuan, the head of the family, his eldest son Li Jiancheng is the crown prince and the legitimate heir, and he has the support of wealthy families. Cihang Jingzhai is of little help in terms of reputation. They are reluctant to spend money, but do not want to be insignificant, so they turn to Li Shimin, who is also an outstanding son.

Yang Guang's success story was a shame for Cihang Jingzhai, but this did not affect their attempts to learn from him and repeat what happened back then. While helping the Li family conquer the world, they pushed their son Li Shimin to power and repeat the story of Yang Guang.

They had made many plans for this. This time, Shi Feixuan's grand display of the Heshi Bi in Luoyang to choose the emperor on behalf of Heaven was a plan that killed two birds with one stone, or even three birds with one stone.

But she could never have imagined that the long-missing Duke of Chu, Yang Xuangan, was not only alive but had achieved Grandmaster status, delivering a brutal blow to the Jingnian Zen Temple. The semi-retired Grandmaster, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, also joined in the fun, pinning down Ning Daoqi, the righteous path's strongest independent warrior. And the decoy Heshi Bi was stolen by an unknown master, who, judging by fragments of his words, seemed to be an enemy of Master Lekong.

A master who could injure the four Dharma protectors of Jingnian Zen Temple with his protective Qi was at least at the peak of Grandmaster status. How many such people were there in the entire martial arts world? Shi Feixuan was not present at the time and could not determine the person's identity, but Zen Master Lekong gave him a clue: the Taoist aura was faintly visible on this person.

There are many hermits in Taoism, and Shi Feixuan quickly thought of the hermit Xiaoyaozi. This person is also a powerful grandmaster, and his martial arts skills are comparable to those of nature. He is even better than the wanderer Ning Daoqi. If it was really this person who took action, there would be no need to escape with the treasure, and there would be no need for the evil king Shi Zhixuan to support him.

Ning Sanren once said that Xiaoyaozi's martial arts skills were extraordinary, comparable to those of an ordinary grandmaster, and he was far inferior to him. Even if he joined forces with Martial Honored Bi Xuan and Sword Master Fu Cailin, they could not stop him. Xiaoyaozi's lightness skills were the best in the world, and if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him, not even thousands of troops.

Perhaps the people who attacked Jingnian Zen Temple twice were not the same group of people, but just met by coincidence.

In her mind, Shi Feixuan enumerated the forces in Luoyang City that could do this. The strongest one was the Great Sui imperial family in Qu Shanglin Garden, with eight thousand elite guards and three hundred first-rate evil-repelling eunuchs, ten of whom were innate, and assisted by more than three masters. If they mobilized all their forces and gave their all, Jingnian Zen Temple would certainly not be able to stop them.

However, she had thought of this a long time ago and sent out invitations early. King Yang Xiu of Shu even led more than 20 masters to watch the battle between her and Xu Ziling. After the battle, he joined forces with You Chuhong to force back the foreign masters and save Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

However, Kou Zhong chose to refuse Yang Xiu's recruitment and repeatedly claimed that he was now working for Shangshu Wang (Wang Shichong), which made Yang Xiu laugh and cry. In the end, the matter came to nothing. However, Shi Feixuan was still shocked by the fact that Yang Xiu dispatched twenty innate masters at one time.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Sui Dynasty royal family lost its kingdom, it was still no less powerful than the four major clans.

In addition to the royal family, Wang Shichong, the apparent controller of Luoyang City, also has the ability to do this. If the Jingnian Temple is intact, he may send out thousands of troops, but it may take a lot of effort and several days of assault to break it in. However, the Four Vajras are missing, Master Liaokong is absent, and the Jingnian Temple, with more than half of the monks killed or injured, may not be able to withstand the attack of the army.

What's more, Wang Shichong also has masters under his command. Wang Shichong himself is also a master. Although he is at the bottom among the masters, a master is still a master.

But tonight he also appeared at the scene of the duel between him and Xu Ziling, and even sent a large army to strictly control the surroundings to prevent the gangsters who came to join in the fun in Luoyang City from causing chaos.

In addition to these two families, the Dugu clan also has the ability to destroy the half-crippled Jingnian Zen Temple. However, the Dugu clan masters headed by You Chuhong and Dugu Feng cooperated with King Yang Xiu of Shu to protect Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and their great efforts could not be false.

Then the only one left is the Demon Sect!

Thinking of the Demon Sect, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but feel a headache. Her mortal enemy, Yin Gui Sect's Kankan, suddenly made great progress in strength. Not only did she break through to the Grandmaster level, but she was also a very senior one. She beat her badly. If she hadn't had the intention to kill her, her fate would have been even more miserable.

What puzzled her the most was that Kankan did not find the weaknesses in the Cihang Sword Canon's moves, but directly crushed it in all directions with a higher level and stronger strength, which made Shi Feixuan, who claimed to be the most talented person in Cihang Jingzhai for a hundred years, somewhat unacceptable.

The reason why the Demon Sect is the most suspected is probably because Shi Zhixuan showed up and stopped the wanderer Ning Daoqi, and Kankan kept saying that her master Zhu Yuyan was nearby. But until everything was settled, none of the Demon Sect masters showed up except Kankan and Hou Xibai. This is really too abnormal.
