Upon hearing Xia Taige's words, the Zhenwu Division members remained unresponsive, while the people at the Imperial Mausoleum were filled with turbulent emotions.

Everyone was well aware of the extent of Buddhism's influence and the number of its masters.

Before anyone could think further, Xia Taige continued:

“Nowadays, Buddhism is rampant and unscrupulous. It endangers the country and the people at all levels.”

"We, the people of Great Xia, have the duty and the obligation to eradicate this malignant tumor of Buddhism in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, Xia Taige turned around and pointed to the map hanging on the wall of the Zhenwu Division, and continued:

"Qingyuan Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the Great Xia territory, with tens of thousands of martial monks and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land!"

"It's unbelievable that a temple could have tens of thousands of warrior monks!"

"Isn't this an attempt to rebel? These wolves in sheep's clothing deserve to die!"

Xia Taige's anger grew stronger with each word. After a brief pause, he pointed to a hill next to Qingyuan Temple and said in a deep voice:

"Fulin Temple, adjacent to Qingyuan Temple, has always regarded Qingyuan Temple as its target. The temple has thousands of martial monks, who do not engage in production!"

“As long as these malignant tumors exist in Great Xia, I will feel uneasy.”

"As for Buddhism, there is only one purpose: either to completely eradicate it or to abolish its cultivation practices and force it to go out and cultivate land and mine!"

"Yes, sir!" The people from the Zhenwu Division and the Imperial Mausoleum responded in unison without hesitation.

"In this operation, the Zhenwu Division will lead 1,500 Mo Dao soldiers to launch an attack on Qingyuan Temple precisely at 7 PM tonight, ensuring that no one is spared!"

"Similarly, the people from the Imperial Mausoleum will lead the Trapped Camp and a thousand Mo Dao soldiers to launch an attack on Fulin Temple precisely at 7 PM tonight. They also have only one requirement: not a single person must be let go!"

"Yes, sir!" the crowd replied solemnly.

Seeing this, Xia Taige nodded in satisfaction.

Although the people in the imperial tomb were not summoned by the system, they did not falter in the slightest, proving that the Great Xia Dynasty's support for them over the years was not in vain.

"Donghuang!" Xia Taige called softly.

"Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi nodded in recognition.

"This time, I will have to trouble you to make a trip to the ten major sects. Before the suppression of Buddhism is over, no sect is allowed to cause any unrest. Otherwise, the sect will be destroyed and its lineage will be cut off!"

"Yes!" Donghuang Tai nodded in response without any expression.

Previously, Xia Taige's cultivation level was low. Although Donghuang Taiyi was a terrestrial immortal, he always guarded Xia Taige and protected his personal safety. The deterrent power of the terrestrial immortal was not brought into play at all.

At this moment, putting aside the Azure Crane, Xia Taige's current cultivation level is sufficient to protect himself, and he does not need Donghuang Taiyi to protect him.

The Ten Great Sects are the best medium to maximize their deterrent power.

Just as Xia Taige finished speaking, everyone from the imperial mausoleum turned their fervent gazes toward Donghuang Taiyi.

After all, people tend to admire the strong, let alone a super strong person like Donghuang Taiyi who stands at the pinnacle of the continent.

Without a doubt, the appearance of Donghuang Taiyi was like a shot in the arm, instantly injecting the team, which was about to embark on its mission, with full confidence and courage!

"There's no time to lose, let's get started on the preparations immediately!"

After Xia Taige finished speaking, he handed the military tally in his hand to Zhao Gao and instructed him:

"Quickly dispatch personnel to notify the Mo Dao Army and the Trapped Camp to return to their posts immediately, prepare for deployment, and be ready to engage in operations at any time."

Then, Xia Taige added:

"In addition, three thousand heavily armored cavalry will be dispatched to join the expedition, and they will be responsible for guarding the route!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Gao respectfully accepted the military tally with both hands and quickly obeyed the order and left.

Although three thousand heavy cavalrymen are not suitable for mountain charges, they can still provide adequate cover at the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, with tens of thousands of monks, there must be an escort team.

Upon hearing the order, everyone left to prepare, leaving only Donghuang and Xia Taige inside the main hall.

"Azure Crane!" Xia Taige narrowed his eyes slightly and called out softly.

At this moment, Xia Taige has already stepped into the realm of a terrestrial immortal, and his perception ability can be described as extraordinary.

With his incredibly keen spiritual sense, he was able to clearly perceive the exact location of Canghe and Donghuang Taiyi.

In the next instant, a white figure appeared in the hall like a ghost.

This man, with his snow-white hair, was none other than Cang He!

"Your Highness!" As soon as Canghe appeared, he bowed respectfully to Xia Taige, and then quickly turned to Donghuang Taiyi and nodded slightly.

After Canghe finished bowing, Xia Taige stared intently at Canghe and said in a deep voice:

"Is the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion confident that it can wipe out the remaining Buddhist temples overnight without leaving a trace?"

After speaking, Xia Taige casually waved his hand, and a confidential intelligence document detailing the distribution of numerous temples within the Great Xia territory and the relative strengths of each temple floated down to Canghe like a light feather.

Currently, among the Buddhist temples within the Great Xia territory, only Qingyuan Temple and Fulin Temple are truly powerful; no other temples are as large as these two.

If we can wipe out the Buddhist forces within the Great Xia territory in one fell swoop with overwhelming force, any unscrupulous forces that want to take advantage of the chaos will find it as easy as lighting a lantern in a latrine!

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is spread across three major dynasties, with more than three hundred branches evenly distributed throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, making it perfectly suited for taking action against other Buddhist forces.

Upon hearing this, Canghe took the intelligence report and, while reading it, mentally compared the strength of each branch of Buddhism.

After a moment, Canghe pondered for a long time before finally speaking:

"There are difficulties, but it's not a big problem!"

"Great!" Xia Taige exclaimed!

Xia Taige's original plan was to first destroy Qingyuan Temple and Fulin Temple, and then slowly advance southward.

The only drawback of this method is that it takes too much time and manpower, making it impossible to carry out subsequent work.

However, if the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can eliminate the remaining Buddhist forces in one fell swoop, then the Zhenwu Division and the people of the Imperial Mausoleum can quickly free up their hands and not have to spend so much time on the matter of destroying Buddhism.

"Get it done right away! Do you need any manpower?"

Xia Taige suddenly remembered that there were still more than 40,000 elite Imperial Guards in the system space that had not yet been summoned.

Upon hearing this, Canghe shook his head, then firmly stated:

"If we were to call in more people, there wouldn't be enough time. The people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion are already sufficient!"

Hearing this, Xia Taige nodded.

After speaking, Canghe bowed to Xia Taige and disappeared into the main hall to handle the matter.

After Donghuang Taiyi nodded to Xia Taige, he disappeared.

Xia Taige watched the two disappear and curled his lip.

If Xia Taige hadn't yet reached the realm of terrestrial immortals, he would surely be quite envious of the two's elusive appearances.
