After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Facing the old monk who exuded an aura of power over Tianque City, Qin Liangyu said in a deep voice, "Master, have you misunderstood? His Majesty the Holy Emperor has gone on a journey and has not yet returned."

The old monk said, "Whether it is true or not, you will know when you go to Mount Sumeru."

"With the Holy Emperor absent, we are all old, weak, women, and children. Does the master intend to humiliate us?"

"Your Majesty need not say more. You only need to answer whether you wish to accompany this humble monk to Mount Sumeru."

"What if I said no."

"I'm afraid the Empress has no choice in the matter."

Seeing that reasoning was ineffective, the old monk unleashed a myriad of rays of Buddhist light that enveloped the entire Tianque City, forming a barrier to prevent the group from escaping.

Xiao Bai gritted her teeth and said, "Pah, old monk! Don't think you can bully the Empress just because your brother isn't here. Xiao Bai will beat you to death!"

"So it was your karmic burden. We can take it back to Mount Sumeru and ask the Buddha to judge your sins."

"Xiaobai isn't the karmic obstacle, you are! Your whole family is the karmic obstacle!"

Xiao Baitian is fearless; if someone insults her, she will only fight back.

After saying that, Xiaobai gestured for everyone to step back, then shouted loudly. Golden and red flames swirled around his body, and his cultivation level stepped into the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor. This was his second form, and he was becoming even more powerful.

"A mere quasi-emperor, yet you speak so arrogantly."

The old monk raised his hand, revealing a Buddhist kingdom in his palm. Little White was no match for him; in an instant, he was trapped in the golden hand and unable to escape.

Beneath the earth, all are ants. No matter how powerful Xiaobai is, she cannot possibly cross a major realm to defeat a Great Emperor unless she reaches the peak of Quasi-Emperor, in which case she might be able to put up a fight.

However, once she enters her third form, she falls into a deep sleep, and she doesn't want to sleep anymore.

Seeing that Xiaobai had been suppressed, Qin Liangyu said in a deep voice, "Master, do you really want to fight me to the death in Lizhou?"

"This is the Central Region, not the Li Continent. Even the Holy Emperor must abide by the rules. Today, I invite you all to Mount Sumeru in order to lure out the Holy Emperor. I suspect that he stole the Buddhist treasure."

"You bald monk, shut your mouth! My master would never steal from you!"

Chen Ranran rebuked her sternly.

"The Holy Emperor is an anomaly, and so is your disciple. You shall be executed!"

The old monk's eyes were sinister, and a burst of Buddhist light shot out, intending to kill Chen Ranran on the spot.

No one could withstand the Emperor's might. Just as the Buddhist light was about to strike Chen Ranran, in a moment of crisis, a wisp of destructive aura erupted from Chen Ranran's body, instantly annihilating most of the Buddhist and Taoist rules. Then, a wave of energy swept out, carrying everyone away.

Fortunately, Qin Liangyu, Xuanyuan Rong, and Wang Qianshan risked their lives to block the remaining power of the Emperor's Path, thus saving everyone from disaster. However, Chen Ling'er and Chen Changsheng were still too young, and the aftershocks caused the two little ones to vomit blood and their breaths to suddenly weaken.

"Immortality!"

"Ling'er!"

This scene left everyone's eyes wide with horror.

The old monk remained indifferent. "So, your karmic burden contains a wisp of imperial law, but unfortunately, it cannot stop a true emperor."

"You bald monk, when my master returns, I will grind you to dust!"

Chen Ranran screamed shrilly, her eyes red and veins bulging on her forehead.

Chen Yuling also grasped a wisp of the rule of destruction, glaring at the high and mighty old monk, who remained expressionless and solemn. "Since you refuse to bow down, then take him away by force."

"You stinking monk, how dare you hurt Ling'er and Changsheng! Xiaobai will never forgive you!"

Xiao Bai rampaged through the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of her hand. Without Chen Futu's order, she could not enter the third stage. No matter how she attacked, it was useless. At most, she could only shake the barrier of the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of her hand.

"Karma, I will capture you and take you back to Mount Sumeru to refine you, so as to rid the world of a great scourge."

After the old monk finished speaking, he attacked Qin Liangyu and the others again. In an instant, the enormous Buddhist hand that blotted out the sky reappeared, plunging everyone into despair.

Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly and looked at Chen Yuling beside her. Chen Yuling looked miserable and handed over that wisp of the Destruction Rule, crying, "Sister-in-law, what do you plan to do?"

“With your older brother gone, I am the head of the family. It is my duty to stand up and protect our family.”

After saying this, Qin Liangyu clenched the wisp of the rule of destruction, glanced at Chen Ling'er and Chen Changsheng one last time, and then leaped into the sky.

"Leaving the continent, we will never retreat!"

Qin Liangyu's body was enveloped in phoenix fire, and the raging flames that swept across the sky seemed to burn away all the filth in the world.

The old monk, seeing Qin Liangyu's frenzied state, did not stop, but spoke compassionately: "She is but a beautiful but empty shell. This humble monk will help the Empress of Great Xia to be reborn in the Pure Land."

Meanwhile, Chen Futu's refining of the Emperor's Elixir deep in the desolate mountains has entered a critical stage.

Ding!

[A Buddhist emperor has been detected attempting to assassinate Qin Liangyu in Tianque City. Chen Changsheng and Chen Ling'er are injured. Please make a choice.]

"What did you say?"

In the Jade Palace, Chen Futu stood up in shock, his face turning deathly pale.

[Does the host choose to use their trump card for rescue?]

"Save them! Destroy the Buddhist sect! Destroy them!"

Chen Futu's eyes turned bloodshot, and he almost roared out the words.

[The system uses the Earth Embryo Formation to randomly summon a wisp of incense offering from the Earth Goddess of the Blue Star to descend, with a time limit of five seconds.]

To compensate the host for the time lost in playing his two trump cards, the system will provide the host with an additional opportunity to materialize his abilities.

Originally, using two portions of clay to materialize a manifestation would last for twenty seconds, but because the power of the descendant was too strong, the two portions of clay could only last for ten seconds together. Therefore, the system compensated by giving one more manifestation opportunity to offset the missing ten seconds.

As the system spoke, the Buddhist hand from Tianque City descended before Qin Liangyu, seemingly exerting deliberate pressure. It arrived slowly and arrogantly, filling everyone in Tianque City with despair.

"sister in law!"

"Empress!"

Chen Yuling, Ge Fei, and the others were furious, but unfortunately, they were all suppressed under the terrifying imperial light and could not move an inch.

Xuanyuan Rong and Wang Qianshan were helpless and could only watch in horror.

Only Qin Liangyu grasped that wisp of the Emperor's Destruction Rule and defied the heavens to confront the invincible giant hand.

"The entire Holy Emperor's family must die."

"Hehe, it's good to let Buddhism take the lead. The Holy Emperor will definitely fight Buddhism to the death, and we can reap the benefits."

The emperor, watching coldly from the shadows, let out a sneer.

The Jade Emperor, who was stationed in the Northern Region, realized what was happening but it was too late to act. He shouted angrily, "Buddhism, how dare you!"

What would be the consequences of killing the Holy Emperor's entire family?

Given Chen Futu's character, he would surely turn the entire continent into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The Holy Emperor is absolutely capable of doing it. Only those who know him are aware of his madness and vengefulness.

In Fufeng City, after hearing the Heavenly Demon General beside her explain the inside story, Liu Shenmiao's pretty face suddenly turned ugly. "Damn Buddhist bald monk!"

As an ally, it was too late for her to get the Heavenly Demon General to make a move.

At this moment, the gazes of all the emperors on the continent were turned toward the Central Region, regardless of whether they were supreme emperors, ordinary emperors, or those hidden old monsters.

Perhaps some people had good intentions towards Chen Futu, but at that distance, no one could have rescued him in time, and even if Zhang Sanfeng and the Peach Blossom Goddess sensed it, it was too late.
