I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Yunxi, who had just arrived, witnessed this scene.

Before she could even be surprised that Zhou Mutian had been defeated here, she heard what the monk Fatian said.

She thought of her previous life, when Zhou Mutian became the new Buddhist disciple of Xiaoxitian.

She felt that there was an invisible force guiding things back on track.

At this moment, she saw Xuan Tianzi look up at the monk Fatian, his eyelids lowered.

"A misunderstanding?" Shen Ming seemed to want to hear his explanation.

Yunxi immediately realized something was wrong; Xiaoxitian was very good at lecturing.

The pursuit of this tradition is to enlighten and guide all living beings.

For example, powerful dragons, or Taoist figures of equal strength.

For example, the spirit of the Emperor Mirror!

Each successful conversion brings prosperity to Little Western Paradise and a surge in Buddhist power.

Yunxi was worried that Xuan Tianzi might not only put down the Buddhist sword, but might even convert to Buddhism.

"Amitabha."

In the golden light, the monk Fatian's smile was mysterious.

He clasped his hands together, and a chanting sound arose, purifying the soul like a clear spring.

Everyone calmed down, and the tense atmosphere that had permeated the area vanished.

Within the golden light of Buddha, a series of images emerged.

Yesterday, Zhou Muchen was at the Daoist temple, and today, the Zhou brothers are at the Taiyi Sect's grand gathering as secret agents.

"The Taiyi Sect genuinely believes that you stole the 'Martial Arts Classic' and is not deliberately framing you. For this, Zhou Muchen paid the price, and a Supreme Elder was imprisoned."

"When will this cycle of revenge end? Now Zhou Mutian is paying the price he deserves."

The monk Fatian spoke eloquently, seemingly from a sincere desire to resolve the conflict and grievances.

“Zhou Mutian harbors resentment because of his younger brother. I brought him back to Little Western Heaven to purify his resentment and repay the world. This is also a great blessing for you.”

As he spoke, the monk Fatian waved his hand, and a green lotus seed flew out from Zhou Mutian.

The aura emanating from it made the eyes of everyone listening to the chanting shine.

"How about we consider this his apology?"

After the monk Fatian finished speaking, the chanting grew louder and louder.

This is the "Compassionate Salvation and Universal Salvation Mantra," used to purify the mind and dispel evil thoughts.

Based on his Buddhist teachings, he was confident that he could subdue a naive and ignorant boy.

Shen Ming reached out his left hand and caught the lotus seed.

Seeing this, the monk Fatian smiled slightly and said, "Excellent..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Mingming swung his sword down, the sharp blade slicing through Zhou Mutian's throat.

Zhou Mutian's body convulsed a few times, and he immediately collapsed into a pool of his own blood, unable to move.

Zhou Mutian, die!

"..."

The disciples of Taiyi Sect wailed in despair, and the others found it hard to accept that the number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking had died so simply.

"It's like a tortoise chanting scriptures; I won't listen. Even if you kill Zhou Mutian, the Green Lotus Seed will still be his."

This is Shen Ming's feeling when he listened to the monk Fatian speak.

"Master, I don't understand what you're saying. I only know that if you repay evil with good, how will you repay good? My life motto is to repay evil with justice and good with good!"

He had always believed that Taiyi Sect was deliberately framing him, but he just realized it was a misunderstanding.

But so what? Does a misunderstanding justify launching an attack during the Xuan Tian Grand Ceremony without any consideration for human feelings?

In addition, Zhou Mutian knew that all of this was a misunderstanding.

His brother's fate was entirely his own doing.

Then what? !

Zhou Mutian was filled with murderous intent, targeting all the Taiyi Sect disciples, and even intending to kill himself.

The old monk said he would take them back to Little Western Paradise to reform them, but that would be too much trouble.

I'll send him directly to see Buddha in the Western Paradise, all in one go.

The monk Fatian tried hard to control his emotions, but the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably. He didn't understand why Shen Ming was unaffected by the chanting.

In other places, he would have used the pretext that Shen Ming was too bloodthirsty and tainted by demonic energy to suppress and kill him.

"Benefactor, you have too much bloodlust. I hope you will think twice before acting."

The monk Fatian disappeared from the pagoda.

At the grand event, the true form of the monk Fatian opened his eyes.

"Master Xuantian, the struggle for the opportunity of the Floating Pagoda has nothing to do with right or wrong."

At this moment, Elder Yue Zun of the Taiyi Sect emphasized the universally acknowledged principles of the Northern Region.

"Elder Yue Zun, what do you mean by saying that?" Elder Yi Li said with a cold laugh.

Elder Yue Zun smiled without saying a word. Ever since Shen Ming entered the Floating Pagoda, he had never stopped.

Elder Yue Zun knew how much Zhou Mutian loved his younger brother.

In the previous emergency, he crippled Zhou Muchen because he was afraid that the Xuan Tian Sect Leader would take the opportunity to cripple Zhou Mutian.

Zhou Mutian understood his actions; his resentment was directed at the Taiyi Sect.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Mutian, he would definitely hunt down Xuan Tianzi relentlessly.

"Look! What happened to the Little Western Paradise Buddha?!"

Suddenly, someone noticed that outside the pagoda, the monk Wuhua was once again unsteady, floating around in the air.

"If you repay evil with kindness, how will you repay kindness? Repay evil with justice, and repay kindness with kindness."

He kept repeating this phrase, and the golden Buddhist light around him gradually dimmed, all the spiritual light he had gained was lost.

The high-ranking monk Fatian's demeanor had taken on a somewhat fierce and wrathful air.

They have always been the ones who guide others to enlightenment; no one has ever shaken the Buddhist heart of a disciple.

Until today, a mysterious emperor has emerged.

He was in a bad mood and didn't say anything.

Another strange event occurred. A dazzling golden dragon appeared in the sky, its radiant light seemingly able to penetrate layers of clouds and mist, illuminating the entire heavens in a magnificent golden glow.

The giant dragon coiled and danced, its scales shimmering with a mysterious golden light, stirring up the winds and clouds with every movement.

Its immense power was visible for thousands of miles, leaving people in awe.

It can be seen not only in the Xuantian Sect, but also throughout the Northern Region.

In the void beside the dragon, a line of striking text slowly emerged.

The characters seemed to be formed from the light of stars, exuding a mysterious and sacred aura.

Each stroke is vigorous and powerful, like a sharp sword piercing the heart.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, heavy snow fell. Shen Ming of the Xuantian Sect shattered the Heavenly Emperor Mirror with his fist at the Floating Pagoda and beheaded Zhou Mutian with his sword."

"Changes have occurred on the Hidden Dragon List."

"Number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking: Shen Ming!"

"The sword's edge cuts through the long night, and with a clear mind, I question the heavens."

This is why the Hidden Dragon Ranking is irreplaceable in the Northern Region.

It is precisely because of these extraordinary celestial phenomena that it is recognized as the number one list in the Northern Region!

When the various forces in the Northern Region saw the giant dragon take off, they knew that the Hidden Dragon Ranking had changed!

Upon seeing the following line of description and the changes in rankings, they were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

The top player on the potential list has lost and is dead!

Who is Shen Ming?!

Those who haven't been to the Xuantian Sect are unfamiliar with this name.

At the grand Xuan Tian gathering, Elder Yue Zun, who had been all smiles, dropped his wine cup and turned ashen-faced.

"real or fake……"

Those who witnessed the whole story at the grand event were deeply moved and remained unsettled for a long time.

When Shen Ming went to settle scores with Zhou Mutian, some admired his boldness, but others thought he was overestimating himself.

Good heavens, Shen Ming took his revenge without delay, and that very day he beheaded Zhou Mutian with his sword.

"First defeat Gu Changge, who is invincible in the second stage of the Innate Realm, then kill Zhou Mutian, the strongest in the third stage of the Innate Realm!"

Northern Regions, Central Plains, Taiyi Gate.

A mournful wail filled the air, and the death knell tolled.

After the death knell came the deafening sound of drums.

The sound of drums resounded throughout the Central Plains, shaking countless people.

The war drums beat in all directions, signifying a declaration of war!
