Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

As dusk approached, the city's 20,000-strong garrison entered the city to enforce a curfew.

All the major forces realized that something was wrong. During the daytime, many experts from the Zhenwu Division and the Imperial Mausoleum gathered at the Zhenwu Division for unknown reasons!

Even the soldiers of the Eastern Palace and the troops stationed outside the city quickly returned to their posts within the Zhenwu Division.

The major powers in the capital felt a sense of unease, but with the city guards imposing a curfew, it was too late to take any action.

At this time, as the hour of You (5-7 PM) approached, there was no one else in the entire capital except for the city guards.

Seeing the situation outside, the people of Beijing also chose to keep their doors tightly shut.

Inside the Zhenwu Division, apart from Xia Taige and Jian Jiuhuang, there were no other people in the entire main hall.

Numerous experts have emerged in force, attempting to resolve the conflict between Qingyuan Temple and Fulin Temple as quickly as possible.

Xia Taige sat upright in the main hall, and Jian Jiuhuang beside him was not as cheeky as usual, but also had a serious expression.

Qingyuan Temple and Fulin Temple are only a hundred miles from the capital, and the many elite troops of Zhenwu Division and the people of the imperial mausoleum had just set off.

At this moment, Xia Taige was constantly thinking about all the possible changes that might occur.

As the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) approached, less than a hundred li outside the capital, at the foot of a towering mountain peak that seemed to pierce the clouds.

Zhao Gao led a large number of Zhenwu Division chiefs and elite troops in a state of high alert, while behind him stood the disciplined Mo Dao Army, who remained silent.

Under the dim moonlight, the murderous aura of the crowd intensified.

Zhao Gao silently calculated the time in his mind, feeling that the time difference was not significant, and then looked at the people in front of him and gave the order:

"Jing Ni will lead her elite Zhenwu Division troops and a hundred Mo Dao soldiers to guard the foot of the mountain, block the main road down the mountain, and not let a single fish escape!"

"The rest of you, follow me to destroy the mountain and the temple!"

As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, without waiting for anyone's response, he immediately took the lead and rushed towards Qingyuan Temple halfway up the mountain.

Upon seeing this, the elite troops of the Zhenwu Division and the Mo Dao Army immediately followed closely behind.

Just as the group arrived at the gate of Qingyuan Temple, before they could do anything, the previously closed gate suddenly opened.

Inside the gate, several bald monks appeared. Upon seeing Zhao Gao, they immediately knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully!

"The Zhenwu Division's spy, a spies and demons, greets you, sir!"

Seeing this, Zhao Gao nodded and asked:

"How did things go? Were there any slip-ups?"

"Reporting to you, sir, everything is progressing smoothly, and the people of Qingyuan Temple have no suspicion of me whatsoever!"

"During dinner, I poured all the muscle-relaxing powder into the water source. I suppose the medicine has already taken effect by now!"

"However, the medicinal effect is probably weak, and it won't have much of an impact on experts above the Acquired Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao paid no attention. The method of drugging was merely to prevent the many warrior monks from scattering. After all, the Zhenwu Division had fewer people than the warrior monks, and he was worried that some might escape!

Originally, many of the warrior monks were just farm boys from the foot of the mountain who chose to become monks to avoid military service. Zhao Gao did not think they had much courage to confront the Zhenwu Division!

Moreover, for a master, deadly poison would only raise their alarm, while the effect of the muscle-relaxing powder is just right!

Xia Taige attached great importance to the matter of suppressing Buddhism, and Zhao Gao naturally wanted to do everything in his power to accomplish it.

"Lead the way! Execute the ringleaders first!" Zhao Gao ordered, looking at the several spies kneeling before him.

"Yes!" the secret agents replied firmly and quickly stepped forward to lead the way.

The Mo Dao Army awaited orders outside the temple, while the remaining commanders of the Zhenwu Division led their commanders to follow Zhao Gao toward the temple.

Since Qingyuan Temple can house tens of thousands of martial monks, its terrain must be intricate and complex. With an inside man leading the way, we can certainly save some time!

At the same moment, in the tranquil and peaceful backyard of Qingyuan Temple, a kind-faced and benevolent old monk was holding his breath and concentrating on circulating his internal energy.

Concentrating intently on sensing the subtle changes in my meridians, I suddenly felt a faint sense of weakness.

This strange feeling made the old monk's heart tighten suddenly, and a strong sense of unease instantly welled up in his heart.

Without hesitation, the old monk immediately got up, opened the door, and strode to the center of the backyard.

Slowly close your eyes, gather your true energy into your ears, and listen carefully to everything around you.

Before long, a series of chaotic and hurried footsteps clearly reached my ears, rushing straight toward the backyard.

The old monk opened his eyes abruptly upon hearing the sound, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. He took a deep breath, then channeled all his inner energy and roared:

"Who dares to be so audacious as to attack my Qingyuan Temple!"

The powerful voice seemed to have boundless penetrating power, quickly spreading throughout the entire Qingyuan Temple.

The many martial monks who had already fallen asleep, as well as the masters hidden in the temple, were awakened by the sudden roar and jumped up from their sleep.

Almost as soon as the old monk finished speaking, powerful auras surged from all parts of Qingyuan Temple.

These auras, following the old monk's voice, rushed rapidly towards the backyard.

Zhao Gao and his men, who were rushing towards the backyard, paid no attention to what he heard.

Such a major operation could not be kept secret, and Zhao Gao had no intention of concealing it either.

Immediately, Zhao Gao gave the following instructions:

"Kill! Kill all those who do not kneel and surrender!"

Having said that, Zhao Gao stepped forward with his right foot and sped away in the direction from which the old monk's voice came.

The remaining directors led their elite troops in all directions, following the sounds coming from the surrounding area.

With a few light taps of his toes, Zhao Gao arrived in the backyard.

The two exchanged a glance and then spoke:

"The abbot of Qingyuan Temple?"

"Court lackey?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao did not get angry but smiled, and looked at the wary old monk in front of him, saying calmly:

"It seems that Qingyuan Temple is indeed connected with Daleiyin Temple. I wonder if Daleiyin Temple can save you this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao's imposing aura spread out instantly, enveloping the entire backyard.

The abbot of Qingyuan Temple looked at the black murderous aura that enveloped the entire backyard and his expression immediately became solemn.

Without hesitation, he immediately enveloped his entire body with his aura, resisting the black killing intent.

Zhao Gao stomped his right foot and headed towards the old monk, while simultaneously gathering his energy in his hand and suddenly clenching his fist and throwing it out.

Upon seeing this, the abbot of Qingyuan Temple also came forward, and the two parted ways immediately upon touching.

But the moment they touched, the abbot of Qingyuan Temple clearly felt his aura weaken slightly, while Zhao Gao was unaffected at all, and the difference in their strength was immediately apparent.

Zhao Gao, having gained the upper hand, pressed forward relentlessly, unleashing his full power upon the abbot of Qingyuan Temple.

Upon seeing this, the abbot of Qingyuan Temple secretly lamented his misfortune.

The two exchanged blows for only a short while before the aura surrounding the abbot of Qingyuan Temple shattered, and his entire body was instantly enveloped in black killing intent.

At this moment, Zhao Gao had a thought, and the black killing intent immediately pierced into the abbot of Qingyuan Temple, heading straight for his dantian. Before he could resist, his cultivation was destroyed, and he collapsed to the ground severely injured.
