I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"The Buddhist Kingdom has so many powerful figures?"

"The aura of those people is truly terrifying. Such formidable combat power, and they've all come?"

"Has the entire Buddhist community mobilized?"

"Wasn't the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom already blocked in the Western Desert? Why do they have so many powerful people? Where did they get so many people from?"

"..."

The immense power brought by the radiant Buddhist light seemed to obscure the sky, creating unimaginable pressure. Even some disciples of the Sword Sect atop the giant sword showed signs of distress under the oppressive force of this terrifying aura.

As the vast Buddhist army drew near, everyone's expressions grew increasingly grim.

"Senior brother, that's my senior brother. He mysteriously disappeared back then and has been missing ever since. He even betrayed the sect. There are rumors that he joined the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom and even abandoned the sect. I never thought he... he's actually here!"

"That's Zhou Tianyun. Rumor has it that he abandoned his wife and children, but it turns out it's true!"

"So many people have actually joined the Buddhist Kingdom, and some are even willing to become its followers!"

Many people recognized familiar figures among the Buddhist army, including some who had once been famous throughout the land, as well as some who were fellow disciples, close relatives, or even longtime friends of those present. But now, they were all dressed in monks' robes, holding weapons, and standing on the opposite side.

Not to mention Xue Wuyai and his group, even many disciples of the Tianyuan Sword Sect saw familiar faces inside.

"Although the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom is blocked from crossing eastward by the Tianyuan Sword Sect, it will not prevent other cultivators and mortals from going to the Western Desert on their own initiative. Once they enter the Western Desert, very few cultivators will leave."

Ye Wentian's expression was solemn: "It is said that they will all attain enlightenment in the Buddhist Kingdom and become Buddhist disciples. Now it seems that the rumors are probably true."

“This is impossible. My senior brother values ​​loyalty the most. The sect has given everything for him. He would never betray the sect to join the Buddhist Kingdom. This is impossible. There must be something wrong with this!” Li Muchen said, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He is not alone in thinking this way.

Even Gu Xiu couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this vast army, especially when he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

Shi Siling?

How did she end up in the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom?

Among the vast Buddhist army, Shi Siling, also dressed in a monk's robe, stood in the crowd.

"Did something happen?"

"Given Shi Siling's personality, even if she were to switch allegiance, it wouldn't seem like she would choose the Buddhist Kingdom, and besides..."

"There seems to be something wrong with her eyes."

Gu Xiu frowned. He noticed that Shi Siling's eyes held the same devotion as Buddhist disciples—an extreme devotion, a devotion that would even cost one's life. Such a look should not be on Shi Siling.

“Yin Ruozhuo, our Buddhist Kingdom and your Tianyuan Sword Sect have an agreement that our Buddhist Kingdom will not step out of the Western Desert, and your Tianyuan Sword Sect shall not come to our Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom again.”

"You have led your troops into the heart of my Buddhist kingdom and slaughtered my Buddhist monks."

"Do you intend to break the agreement?"

Just as everyone was filled with apprehension at the vast Buddhist army, a solemn voice rang out from the sky, which was bathed in Buddhist light. With each word, the Buddhist light slowly coalesced into a figure.

The Buddha's light first outlined a blurry yet enormous shape, with flowing edges, and then gradually solidified, transforming into a colossal Buddha image that stood tall and upright.

Its form is majestic and immeasurable, as if half of its body has sunk into a higher celestial realm, while its lower body remains rooted in the endless sea of ​​sand and faith of the Western Desert. The face of the Dharma is shrouded in endless radiance and mystery, making it difficult to see its full appearance. One can only feel the absolute tranquility that transcends joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, looking down upon all living beings as if reading the lines on one's palm.

When this Dharma image appeared, all the devout monks under the Buddha's light and the mortals of the Buddhist kingdom in this world of salvation knelt down, put their hands together, and kowtowed repeatedly to the Buddha statue, their eyes filled with piety.

only because.

This Buddha statue is the Lord of the Buddhist Kingdom, the Buddha!

The gazes of everyone atop the giant sword instinctively turned to the figure of the Sword Saint on the sword. Since his last attack, this number one in the world had remained seated cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemingly uninterested in anything.

Even now, he remains the same.

Such an arrogant attitude seemed to suggest that even the Buddha's image was not worth his attention.

But at that moment, a figure soared into the sky and stood atop the giant sword.

This person is the second disciple of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, the stern-faced female swordswoman who wields the Mingfa Sword and tolerates no dissent.

"The Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom broke the agreement and sent Zen Master Wugou, Vajra Jingyan, and Jingde to join forces with the Five Supreme Beings and the Supreme Immortal Puppet of the Three Immortal Islands to launch a surprise attack on my Tianyuan Sword Sect, intending to harm my sect leader. My Tianyuan Sword Sect has come here for only one purpose."

"Sweep away the Buddhist kingdom!"

As the cold voice rang out, an invisible sword intent instantly rose from Jian Er's body, and along with it, all the Tianyuan Sword Sect disciples on the giant sword also had soaring sword energy rising from their bodies, right before everyone's eyes.

It also transformed into a sword light Dharma form.

It was a swordsman whose face was obscured, composed of supreme sword energy. He stood above the giant sword, confronting the Buddha's image head-on, and was not at all at a disadvantage!

The two Dharma statues stood facing each other, creating a sense of mutual suppression.

Another figure rose up from within the Buddha's light: "Wugou had already betrayed our Buddhist sect long ago. As for Jingyan and Jingde, whom you mentioned, they have long been expelled from the Buddhist kingdom. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Oh, isn't this the bald monk Huilü? I've heard that monks don't lie. You're supposed to be a high-ranking Buddhist monk, yet you lie without batting an eye." Jian Yi also stood in mid-air, looking at the other side with disdain.

Huilu ignored the rebellious youth and kept his gaze fixed on the old sword saint: "The Three Enclosures of Evil Sea are about to be born. Perhaps someone is stirring up trouble in the dark. I hope Benefactor Yin will not be deceived and delay the grand plan of the universe."

"Although I knew long ago that your Buddhist Kingdom was full of liars, I never expected you to be so shameless. You don't even dare to admit what you've done. Bah! Shameless!" Jian Wu also spoke up, full of disgust.

Jiang Jiansi then took to the air and said, "Master Huilu, our Tianyuan Sword Sect's westward journey is not without reason. We would not have taken this action without solid evidence. Are you not afraid of becoming a laughingstock by distorting the truth?"

"Do you really want to start a war with our Buddhist Kingdom?"

Huilu frowned, his gaze sweeping over the giant sword, then looking down at the Buddhist monks below: "Although my Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom is unwilling to use weapons lightly, it is not afraid of any battle. However, with the Three Realms of Evil Sea about to emerge, fearless sacrifices will only damage the overall situation. Benefactor Yin, you should think this through."

"Why waste words with them? The Heavenly Abyss Sword Sect insulted our Buddhist Kingdom back then, and it's time for reckoning. Since they've come to our doorstep, are we going to be afraid of them?" Huigang sneered.

"If you ask me, let's fight!"

"We Buddhist monks are all fearless and undaunted. If they want to wipe out the Buddhist kingdom, let's see how many people they plan to lose!"

As soon as these words came out.

The group of Buddhist monks instantly stepped forward three steps in unison, exuding righteousness, and even the earth trembled with the sound of their footsteps.

Such momentum.

This naturally brought a look of joy to the faces of several eminent Buddhist monks.

They believed they had the old swordsman's thoughts figured out. They thought that at this time, they would never really want to start a war. As long as they showed their strength, the old swordsman would definitely choose to back down, and the two sides would begin to negotiate.

This way.

The crisis in the Buddhist kingdom was thus easily resolved.

only……

All of this was ultimately just their own assumption.

Because the old swordsman over there didn't even lift his eyelids, he simply uttered a sentence:

"Kill him."
