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

Princess Yunxi!?

Even with his unwavering Buddhist heart, Fan Hai was filled with shock and anger upon seeing the twelve Dharma protectors perish.

He didn't understand, weren't these two people breaking off their engagement and becoming enemies?

Even if they never speak to each other again, Yunxi has no reason to offend Xiaoxitian. There's absolutely no reason for it!

Most importantly, as a disciple of the Heavenly Gate Buddha, Fan Hai has the Buddha's minor karmic technique performed for him.

He would have noticed if Yunxi and Shenming were secretly plotting something.

“Buddha, I’ve realized I still love him,” Yunxi said deliberately.

In the previous life, the ancient tribes wreaked havoc in the northern region, and these supposedly compassionate Buddhist monks turned a blind eye and secretly took advantage of the chaos.

Even though she hadn't yet formed a feud with Xiaoxitian in this life, she was still ruthless and merciless in her attacks.

Fan Hai's situation is not unjust, because even Shen Ming himself doesn't know what's going on.

He didn't even recognize who Yunxi was, and he didn't understand what was going on.

“…Even Buddha has fire.” Fan Hai’s expression twisted little by little.

Yunxi was taken aback. After witnessing the power of his own Yuanhuang Tiancang Hand and the loss of twelve Dharma Protectors, the Buddhist disciple did not consider escaping.

Why?

Neither she nor Shen Ming could be dealt with by the Buddhist monk.

"The light of the great sun surpasses the blazing sun; it is neither born nor dies, neither real nor illusory!"

However, as Fan Hai sat cross-legged in the sky, accompanied by chanting sutras, an aura as vast as mountains and as deep as the sea erupted, and a dazzling halo appeared behind his head.

That's a symbol that only appears in the realm of Buddhist masters!

"This is the 'Future Purification Sutra'! One of the three great Buddhist scriptures of Little Western Paradise. He borrowed the Buddha's power from his future self!"

Having lived two lives, Yunxi immediately understood what was going on.

"Great Sun Tathagata Palm!"

Immediately afterwards, Fan Hai clasped his hands together, and above the sky, the clouds churned violently as a giant palm descended.

"go!"

Shen Ming stepped forward, grabbed Yun Xi's wrist, and immediately used the technique to break the seal.

The two people vanished from the spot and reappeared a hundred miles away the next second. Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they found that the earth was still shrouded in shadow.

Looking up, Shen Ming and Yun Xi felt the world rapidly shrinking as the Buddha's palm crashed down.

"Divine Elephant Collapses and Destroys the Heavens!"

"The Primordial Heavenly Pillar!"

In the critical moment, Shen Ming and Yun Xi displayed amazing teamwork.

The towering divine elephant rose from the ground, resisting the palm of the Great Sun Tathagata. The earth could not withstand this pressure and quickly cracked.

This is why the Great Luo Domain does not allow Sovereign Realm experts to enter; this small world cannot withstand it.

Just before the divine elephant was about to collapse, Yunxi's nine Dao weapons transformed into towering pillars in nine directions, stabilizing the attack.

“Everything comes at a price; he can’t rely on the future forever,” Yunxi said.

"Row."

Shen Ming believed her words and went all out to activate the Divine Image. Since he broke through to the Dragon God Supreme, this was the strongest attack he had ever endured, except after the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire.

Despite having four elephant legs like mountain peaks and nine pillars supporting the sky, the dragon continued to sink into the ground under the palm of the Great Sun Buddha.

The mountain rocks collapsed, and Shen Ming and Yun Xi were trapped deep underground.

Fortunately, the power of the Great Sun Tathagata Palm began to weaken when the two reached their limits.

A hundred miles away, the halo behind Fan Hai's head was disappearing, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit by relying on external forces.

Fan Hai found it hard to accept that even this couldn't kill Shen Ming and Yun Xi; this was a strike from a Dominator Realm expert.

"Buddha's disciple, let's go, or it will be too late!"

The only surviving Mighty King Kong shouted loudly.

Fan Hai was unwilling, but he had no choice but to summon his auspicious cloud to envelop himself and the Subduing Dragon Vajra, and quickly escape.

In fact, even if he didn't escape, Shen Ming and Yun Xi wouldn't be able to catch him.

After the divine image dissipated, Shen Ming let out a long breath, feeling a long-lost soreness in his body, which even made him gasp for breath despite his strong constitution.

"As expected of a strike from a Dominator Realm expert."

Shen Ming looked at the woman in palace attire beside him and saw that she was already drenched in sweat, and the nine Daoist weapons she wore had dimmed.

“If someone really cultivates the ‘Future Purification Sutra,’ then Fan Hai truly deserves to be called a Buddhist disciple. I thought he was an idiot.”

Yunxi seemed to be talking to herself, but it also sounded like she was speaking to Shen Ming.

"Let's go next..."

"Miss, may I ask your name?"

"..."

Yunxi's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected their long-awaited conversation to turn out like this.

"You don't recognize me?" she asked, puzzled.

"You look familiar. Have you been to the Xuantian Sect before?" Shen Ming asked, frowning.

"No, I haven't been there."

Yunxi quickly shook her head. She didn't want Shen Ming to remember her as the mute girl from back then. For some reason, she felt a deep sense of loss.

"My name is Yun Xi, a princess of the Tianlan Dynasty, and also your former fiancée," Yun Xi said earnestly.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Shen Ming frowned, his mind filled with many questions.

"Regarding the annulment of the engagement, it was our Tianlan Dynasty that made a mistake, and saying more will not help. But now there is an even more serious crisis waiting for us," Yunxi said.

"You mean the ancient race?"

Shen Ming thought of the contents of the letter from last time.

“Yes, the ancient clans’ plan is to destroy the Great Wall of Fortune. We absolutely cannot let them succeed,” Yunxi transmitted.

"Is this why you attacked Little Western Paradise just now?"

"Yes, I need your help."

"Aren't you afraid of Little Western Heaven's retaliation?"

Shen Ming felt a strange feeling, as if the other party was convinced that something was about to happen.

"The Little Western Paradise is a bunch of vain fools, what is there to be afraid of?"

"What caused your feud with the ancient clan?" Shen Ming asked.

Yunxi felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that her anxious behavior had aroused Shen Ming's suspicion.

"I can't tell you, but please believe me, we must fight against the ancient race together," she said urgently.

“I have a long-standing and irreconcilable feud with the ancient clans, and I will take action whenever I encounter them. However, I must clarify one point: this has nothing to do with saving Baidi City; these are two separate matters,” Shen Ming said.

Baidi City let the wolf into the house. Everyone else is not worried, so why is he in such a hurry?

Yunxi didn't seem to notice the difference between the two.

"That means don't expect me to risk my life for Baidi City," Shen Ming emphasized.

Yunxi was a little anxious. She originally wanted to tell Shen Ming about Li Miaozhen's situation, but if she did, it would definitely make Shen Ming even more unhappy.

She took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "If that's the case, the ancient clans will gain tremendous strength if they take over Baidi City, which will make them even more troublesome for us. We are not trying to save the Zhu family's Baidi City, but to save the Baidi City of the Northern Region. If the Zhu family insists on their move, we will eliminate the Zhu family and take their place."

Ok?

Shen Ming was somewhat surprised. If the other party had said that everyone else in Baidi City was innocent, he would have turned around and left without saying a word.

He certainly knew he was innocent, but it wasn't his fault.

These words were quite to his liking.

I thought my ex-fiancée was just an ordinary materialistic woman, but based on our interactions today, she can be described as ruthless and decisive.
