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

Yunshui Lake, Glazed Pagoda.

Li Miaozhen's exquisite face was filled with struggle. She was located in the center of the first floor, with high monks chanting sutras on all four sides.

Xiaoxitian, using her betrayal as an excuse, wanted to convert her into a complete Buddhist nun.

They have managed to survive until today by relying on the Tao Te Ching, but they have reached their limit.

"Junior sister, the Dao Child you've been dreaming of won't come."

The speaker was a woman with long, flowing black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, and even her Buddhist monk's robes couldn't conceal her graceful figure.

Pain was evident in Li Miaozhen's eyes. This was her senior sister from the Daoist sect, now known by the Dharma name Miaoyin, a protector of Buddhism.

Senior Sister and he share the same mission. While being controlled by Little Western Heaven, they search everywhere for Dao Child to save their Dao Sect.

Today, the Dharma Protector Miaoyin is solemn and sacred, clearly embodying the qualities of a Buddhist.

The despairing thing is that she will suffer the same fate.

"Senior sister, how can you face our master like this?" Li Miaozhen asked.

“After enlightenment, I realized that many of my previous attachments were illusory. Some of them were imposed on me by others. I just did not live my true self as you wished, and you think I am wrong. How is this any different from the Buddhism that you despise?” said the Dharma Protector Miaoyin.

Li Miaozhen pursed her red lips, unable to utter a single word.

This Buddhist practice sent chills down her spine. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of mental journey she had to go through to become like this.

not good!

This thought caused my mind to relax, and the voice of the scripture rose in my ears and echoed in my mind.

Bang!

At the critical moment, the glazed pagoda withstood a heavy blow, and the inside of the pagoda shook violently.

"Bald monk, if you don't want your Buddhist disciples to die here, hand over the person!"

Accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, a voice reverberated throughout the glazed pagoda.

Shen Ming!

Li Miaozhen was both surprised and delighted, but several days passed and she still had no hope.

There was no complaint. During their last meeting, Shen Ming had not agreed to become a Daoist.

If they don't come, that's their choice.

With a flick of her sleeve, the Dharma Protector Miaoyin opened the window inside the tower, revealing the view outside.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, Shen Ming stood in mid-air, his eyes indifferent, with a pair of wind and thunder wings churning with lightning behind him.

On the right is a Xuan Tian Wheel, which is filled with the water of the lake. The attack just now was launched by this Dao weapon.

On the left is a Buddhist disciple whose Ruyi Golden Body is shattered, his arms are covered in blood, and he has lost consciousness.

In the fierce battle just now, Shen Ming was unharmed, while the Buddhist disciple was severely injured.

"Did he do this all by himself?"

Li Miaozhen's delicate body trembled slightly, a result of her excitement.

She asked the Jiang family for help, hoping that Shen Ming would lead the Jiang family's top leaders to attack.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ming single-handedly defeated the Buddha's disciple!

A first-rate prodigy at the early stage of the Heavenly Sovereign realm is comparable to ten ordinary early-stage Supreme Sovereigns.

It hasn't even been half a year since we last separated, and Shen Ming, who I needed to protect back then, has grown to this extent!

There's no mistake! This is the savior of the Daoist sect!

"Buddha's disciple!"

Inside the glazed pagoda, a group of high monks and Dharma protectors were furious. The Buddhist disciple was their backbone, and they would not tolerate any action against him.

"you dare!"

The roar of the Sovereign Realm expert resounded from the top floor, and a golden light transformed into a giant dragon, which circled in the sky and then transformed into a burly bald monk, whose massive body resembled an iron tower.

Fulong Arhat!

Li Miaozhen was a little nervous; Shen Ming wouldn't have come alone, would he?

“The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Benefactor, put down your Buddhist disciple, and we will forgive your past transgressions!” shouted Arhat Fulong.

His voice was as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the sky above Yunshui City.

"Release them." Shen Ming didn't want to waste words with him.

“Even if you manage to rescue Li Miaozhen from the tower, the heavens and earth will still be a tower that confines her; she will have nowhere to go,” the Arhat Fulong advised him not to try in vain.

These words struck a nerve with Li Miaozhen; the world was vast, yet nowhere felt like home.

"You dare call yourselves heaven and earth? Even if you are, I will overturn this heaven and earth," Shen Ming said.

Li Miaozhen is truly blossoming, does this mean... she's willing to become a Daoist?!

"Insanity!"

The Arhat Fulong's angry expression was full of majesty.

With a whoosh, the Mingxin Sword Pill was placed against the Buddha's neck. Without the Ruyi Golden Body, the sword could easily take his life.

How naive! They have no idea about the methods of a Dominator Realm expert!

Unmoved, the Arhat Fulong blazed with golden flames in his eyes and glared at Shen Ming.

This was an attempt to use the overwhelming pressure of a Dominator Realm expert to directly seal off Shen Ming's senses, preventing him from even having a single thought.

Huh?

Unexpectedly, the Arhat Fulong found himself helpless, while Shen Ming acted as if nothing had happened.

Intimidation? Where did this intimidation come from?

In response, Mingxin Sword Pellet slashed through Foxin's throat, the blade soaking in blood.

With one more push, the Buddha's life force could be severed.

"Wait!"

Fulong Luohan's eyelids twitched. If the Buddha's disciple died under his nose, he would be in deep trouble.

Speaking of this, he harbored resentment towards the Buddha's disciple, wondering how he could have been captured by the Earthly Supreme.

"Release them. Don't make me say it three times," Shen Ming said.

"If I release the person, will you let our Buddhist disciple go?" Arhat Fulong expressed his doubt.

Shen Ming snorted coldly, his patience about to run out.

After thinking for a moment, the Arhat Fulong waved his hand, opened the glass pagoda, and the high monk inside released Li Miaozhen from her restraints.

Li Miaozhen rushed out immediately and came to Shen Ming's side.

“Shen…no, Jiang Ming.” Li Miaozhen had long heard that the Jiang family’s divine son was the Xuan Tian divine son.

"You still call me Shen Ming," Shen Ming said.

He still wanted to call people he knew before returning to the Jiang family by their original names, but he didn't care who he met afterward.

"Okay, Shen Ming."

Li Miaozhen thought he wanted to keep a secret that belonged only to the two of them, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Fang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her good friend regain her freedom, and she was genuinely envious.

"The Divine Child of Xuantian is indeed very charming."

A lone figure charged in, challenging a powerful Arhat in the Sovereign Realm, solely to rescue his beloved.

If she could have such a moment in her life, she would die happy.

"Can you release our Buddhist disciple now?" said Arhat Fulong.

"Wait until you withdraw from Yunshui City..."

Before Li Miaozhen could finish speaking, she saw Shen Ming throw the Buddha statue over.

This?

Without the hostages, facing a Sovereign Realm expert, this distance is a bit dangerous. Li Miaozhen thought for a moment, then realized that Shen Ming wasn't that foolish.

Even the Arhat Fulong was somewhat taken aback; he could kill Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen with a single slap.

Just then, the clouds in the sky churned, and a black dragon appeared and disappeared.

"Black Dragon, be more efficient."

Shen Ming explained that this was low altitude, and if the battle between Sovereign Realm experts dragged on, it would cause enormous damage to Yunshui City, so the priority was to drive people away.

In the clouds, the black dragon shook its enormous head, its eyes filled with some confusion.

"What does 'clean and efficient' mean? That's right, it means I have to clean it up completely, leaving no one behind! Leave it to me, the dragon!"
