The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Upon hearing this, Abbot Jingkong gave Chu Xiu a deep look. It was only after Chu Xiu spoke that he sensed the aura of Monk Jingxin.

It seems everyone underestimated the champion's strength!

Everyone thought that the Marquis of Champion possessed his immense strength because of the Jinyiwei's killing blade formation.

however.

The true strength of the Champion Marquis is probably no weaker than that of a peak ninth level Earth Immortal!

It wasn't just the abbot who was surprised.

Murong Si was equally astonished. As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the entire palace was enveloped by the power of the nation's destiny.

Within the palace, she was an invincible presence.

When Chu Xiu said those words, the Commander of the Shadow Guards had just entered the palace with the monk Jingxin.

She knew that, of course.

She just didn't expect that Chu Xiu would actually sense it.

Swish!

The Shadow Guard Commander appeared in the main hall, holding the monk Jingxin by the shoulder. He bowed to Murong Si and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought the monk Jingxin here."

Murong Si waved her hand and remained silent.

The Shadow Guard Commander stepped aside.

“A true disciple of Wanfo Temple, Jingxin, pays his respects to Your Majesty.”

The monk Jingxin clasped his hands together and bowed to Murong Si.

"No need to be polite."

Murong Si said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The monk Jingxin thanked Murong Si and said...

“Abbot Jingkong, Monk Jingxin has arrived. You may ask him questions.”

Murong Si glanced at Abbot Jingkong and said indifferently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Abbot Jingkong expressed his gratitude to Murong Si, he looked at Monk Jingxin and said calmly, "Little Master, may I ask what your status is in Wanfo Temple and what martial arts you practice?"

He could tell at a glance that Monk Jingxin had just reached the fourth level of the Celestial Realm and his aura was not yet stable.

However, instead of asking about Master Zhikong, he inquired about Monk Jingxin's identity at Wanfo Temple and what martial arts he practiced.

Clearly, they haven't fully believed that Monk Jingxin is a true disciple of Wanfo Temple.

"This humble monk dares not accept such praise."

"Reporting to Abbot Jingkong, this humble monk is a true disciple of Wanfo Temple, and a direct disciple of the Venerable Subduer of Demons, the head of the Arhat Hall of Wanfo Temple."

"The martial arts we practice are the Arhat Subduing Demons Scripture of the Arhat Courtyard of Wanfo Temple."

The monk Jingxin looked apprehensive and returned the greeting to Abbot Jingkong before speaking solemnly.

Before he came to the capital, he already knew what Chu Xiu wanted him to do there.

Although he was not a disciple of the Daxiangguo Temple.

But who is the abbot of Jingkong Temple?

This is the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, whose status and position are in no way inferior to those of the abbot of Wanfo Temple.

They are all true masters of Buddhist holy sites.

He was hardly worthy of being called "little master" by such a high-ranking monk.

"A direct disciple of the Demon-Subduing Venerable?"

"The Arhat Subduing Demons Sutra?"

Abbot Jingkong's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Young Master, would you be willing to demonstrate it to this humble monk?"

The Venerable Subduer of Demons is the head of the Arhat Hall of Wanfo Temple and enjoys a prestigious reputation throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Abbot Jingkong could not possibly be unaware of this.

What does it mean to be a disciple personally taught by the Venerable Subduer of Demons?

This is no ordinary disciple of Wanfo Temple.

In Wanfo Temple, even the elders don't easily accept disciples, let alone a head monk like the Demon Subduer.

Once accepted as a personal disciple by the Demon Subduer, one's status and position within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple will never be inferior to that of a true senior disciple.

It is second only to the Buddha's disciple in Wanfo Temple!

The Arhat Subduing Demons Sutra is the strongest martial art of the Arhat Academy of Wanfo Temple.

In reality, even the true disciples belonging to the Arhat Academy of Wanfo Temple can only obtain the Arhat Sutra or the Subduing Demon Sutra.

These two works can already be considered unparalleled martial arts techniques.

It belongs to the true lineage of the Arhat Academy of Wanfo Temple.

The Arhat Subduing Demons Sutra, which combines the two, is usually only taught to the direct disciples of each abbot of the Arhat Academy of Wanfo Temple, who are destined to become the next abbot of the Arhat Academy.

If the monk Jingxin really is this identity.

This means that he holds a very high position in Wanfo Temple and will definitely become the head of the Arhat Hall in Wanfo Temple in the future.

In this way, it is quite normal for him to know that Master Zhikong's true identity is a hidden disciple of Wanfo Temple, and that he is a spy planted by Wanfo Temple in their Daxiangguo Temple.

Chu Xiu looked at Abbot Jingkong with admiration on his face.

He truly deserves to be the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple.

Abbot Jingkong was indeed extraordinary. Through this method, he was able to ascertain the status and position of Abbot Jingxin within Wanfo Temple, thereby deducing the truthfulness of Abbot Jingxin's words.

Instead of simply trusting them unconditionally based on their investigation.

After all, Master Zhikong was only an elder of the Daxiangguo Temple, so his death was no big deal.

However, behind Master Zhikong is Abbot Jingwu, the abbot of the Arhat Academy of Daxiangguo Temple.

Nature does not tolerate any haste.

"The Arhat Subduing Demons Sutra!"

The monk Jingxin spoke calmly and without emotion.

The words just fell!

The monk Jingxin seemed to transform into a golden Arhat, radiating dazzling golden light and embodying the Arhat's power to subdue demons.

It has a natural ability to restrain demons and monsters.

Moreover, the Arhat Subduing Demons Scripture is not just about internal cultivation, but a method that cultivates both internal and external skills.

Arhatship is an external practice, a method for achieving the golden body of an Arhat.

Subduing Demons is an internal skill, containing the power to suppress demons and monsters.

"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said..."

"Thank you, young monk. I understand now."

Seeing the monk Jingxin's appearance, Abbot Jingkong put his hands together and said with a compassionate expression.

Upon hearing this, Monk Jingxin immediately concealed his aura.

"Your Majesty, this humble monk will immediately return to our Great Xiangguo Temple and execute Jingwu, this traitor!"

Abbot Jingkong bowed deeply to Murong Si and spoke solemnly.

"Alright, let Abbot Jingkong handle this matter."

Murong Si nodded slightly and said to Chu Xiu, "Now that the matter is resolved, Minister Chu, you may continue playing chess with me."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can no longer continue playing chess with you."

Chu Xiu coughed, stood up, and said to Murong Si with a hint of apology.

"Why?"

Murong Si frowned slightly, looking at Chu Xiu with a surprised and suspicious expression and asked.

“Abbot Jingkong, I have mastered a soul-searching technique.”

"If we can search the soul of Abbot Jingwu, we will surely be able to find all the spies of Wanfo Temple hidden in Daxiangguo Temple."

Chu Xiu did not answer, but looked at Abbot Jingkong, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I just don't know if Abbot Jingkong will mind."

The reason he went to Daxiangguo Temple in person was naturally to find all the spies that Wanfo Temple had hidden in Daxiangguo Temple.

He suspected that there were more than just Abbot Jingwu and Master Zhikong in Wanfo Temple.

Even if it turns out there were only two people in the end, I can feel more at ease.

As long as there are still spies from Wanfo Temple within Daxiangguo Temple, given Master Jingwu's cultivation level, he would undoubtedly be the highest-ranking abbot of Wanfo Temple within Daxiangguo Temple.

At this moment, his Reversal of Heaven and Earth Soul Searching Technique can also come in handy!

“Amitabha Buddha, this is something I have been longing for but could not have achieved.”

“Jing Wuming is the abbot of the Arhat Hall of our Daxiangguo Temple, but in reality he is a person from Wanfo Temple, which is a disgrace to our Wanfo Temple.”

"If we could find all the spies that Wanfo Temple has hidden in our Daxiangguo Temple, that would be the best outcome."

"This humble monk should be thanking the Marquis."

Upon hearing this, Abbot Jingkong's expression turned solemn, and he returned Chu Xiu's greeting with thanks.
