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

After a long while, Qin Xingyan stood up and said to Chu Xiu with a guilty expression, "Reporting to Master, I cannot analyze which Buddhist temple this person comes from or which monk he is."

Each major Buddhist sect has a core group of disciples who never travel outside the sect.

He usually spends his days in seclusion in the temple.

Even ordinary disciples in the temple might not know his identity.

The Buddhist forces that attacked the master were probably worried that the failed assassination attempt would expose them.

Therefore, the martial arts practiced by the monk sent here are those that are popular and widely spread within Buddhism.

From a martial arts perspective, it's impossible to determine this person's identity; no clues can be found.

"Send this monk to the Northern Garrison Office."

"The Northern Garrison Command must find out the identity of this monk!"

"I must know which Buddhist force has attacked me!"

"We should focus on the Great Buddha Temple and the Vajra Sect!"

"Because these two Buddhist sects are located in Sizhou!"

Chu Xiu said in a deep and powerful voice, "If the Wang family of Taiyuan is going to attack me, these two Buddhist factions are the most likely suspects!"

"Yes, Your Excellency obeys!"

Qin Xingyan said with a respectful expression.

He immediately ordered a guard from the Chu family to take the monk's body away and head towards the Northern Garrison Office.

"Qin Xingyan, you will lead the entire Chu family guards in cultivating this killing blade formation."

"After you've mastered the Killing Blade Formation, you'll be able to put it to some use!"

Chu Xiu took out a stack of Xuan paper from his sleeve, handed it to Qin Xingyan, and said.

He had planned to teach the Killing Blade Formation to the guards of the Chu family, but initially he intended for them to practice the Killing Blade Manual for a period of time to improve their cultivation level before practicing the Killing Blade Manual.

Because the Chu family had a small number of guards, and various cultivation resources were readily available.

His cultivation progressed extremely quickly.

This may also be related to the fact that they were selected from the elite soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

Nowadays, almost all of the guards in the Chu family have reached the first-class level, and there are even quite a few who have reached the super first-class level.

Once all the guards of the Chu family have reached the Innate Realm, or even the Grandmaster Realm, with the Killing Blade Formation under the command of Qin Xingyan, a Nascent Soul Realm True Person, they could kill the monk who was only at the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm without Chu Xiu even having to lift a finger.

"Thank you, sir."

Qin Xingyan's face lit up with surprise. He took the stack of Xuan paper, knelt down in front of Chu Xiu, and said with tears of gratitude.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may all leave."

Chu Xiu waved to Qin Xingyan and the others and said.

"Yes, I will resign, villain."

Qin Xingyan and the others bowed and withdrew.

Chu Xiu then walked into the pavilion and sat down again.

In a mansion in the capital city.

A man in black arrived at the backyard of the mansion and bowed respectfully outside a room, saying, "Reporting to the Protector, a battle has broken out in the Chu residence."

A Buddhist monk displayed the golden body of an Arhat.

However, he was ultimately suppressed by Chu Xiu and died in the Chu residence.

Click!

The door suddenly opened!

Qian Ruyi seemed to appear out of thin air in front of the man in black, looking at him with a solemn expression and saying, "What is this person's cultivation level at the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

"Based on our speculation, it should be at the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

After a moment's consideration, the man in black said, "The aura Chu Xiu is displaying should be at the Nascent Soul stage!"

"The realm of the primordial spirit?"

How long did the battle last?

Qian Ruyi raised an eyebrow and looked at the man in black, asking a question.

"Reporting to the Protector, the battle has lasted for nearly ten breaths!"

The man in black answered without hesitation.

"Ten breaths?"

"I understand."

Qian Ruyi smiled and said, "So, Chu Xiu is indeed undoubtedly at the Nascent Soul Realm!"

I always said that someone of his ordinary background, even a peerless genius, could not possibly reach the Dharma Aspect Realm at such a young age.

Ten breaths.

Therefore, this person is at least at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

With the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he reversed the slash of the Dharma Aspect Realm in ten breaths!

It's not even enough to describe him as a peerless genius.

He can be called a prodigy!

"Guardian, since Chu Xiu is only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, with your strength, wouldn't you be able to easily kill him?"

Upon hearing this, the man in black said thoughtfully.

"Continue investigating."

Qian Ruyi said something and turned to walk into the room.

"what?"

The man in black froze for a moment, staring at Qian Ruyi's retreating figure with a look of astonishment.

Now that we've determined Chu Xiu's cultivation level, shouldn't we just kill him outright?

Why is the Dharma Protector still unwilling to take action?

"You must remember that even what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth."

"What if Chu Xiu wasn't at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but was able to kill a monk at the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm simply because of his seventh level of Nascent Soul Realm strength?"

Qian Ruyi's voice came from inside the room.

Then, the door closed!

"The Dharma Protector is indeed steadfast!"

The man in black said with a look of admiration.

He finally understood why Qian Ruyi had been able to survive!

The word "steady" alone is enough to explain everything.

He bowed and then turned to leave.

Half an hour later.

Dafosi Temple.

A monk arrived outside a meditation room, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the head monk, Brother Mingxin has died."

The words fell!

The door to the meditation room was reduced to dust!

The image of Zen Master Yuanxin, seated cross-legged in the meditation room, appeared, resembling a withered tree.

"Are you saying your heart is dead?"

Zen Master Yuanxin opened his eyes, and a murderous intent emanated from him, completely dispelling any trace of compassion within him.

The string of the Buddhist prayer beads on his hand was broken.

One by one, the prayer beads fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Reporting to the chief, Senior Brother Mingxin's body has been hung outside the Northern Garrison Office."

The monk spoke cautiously.

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

Zen Master Yuanxin put his hands together and spoke with a compassionate expression.

The murderous intent emanating from him vanished without a trace, as if he had transformed back into a true Buddhist monk.

The monk lowered his head and remained silent.

"Ring the Great Buddha Bell."

Zen Master Yuanxin said with a calm expression.

"Yes, disciple obeys."

The monk responded and then used his lightness skill to leave.

Not long after.

The Great Buddha Bell rang once again in the Great Buddha Temple.

The bell tolls seven times!

In an instant, countless disciples of the Great Buddha Temple turned their gazes toward the temple, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

Only when a being at the Dharma Aspect Realm level passes away or perishes will the Great Buddha Bell ring seven times in succession.

Six consecutive rings signal the summoning of all the abbots of Dafosi Temple, signifying that something significant is about to happen at the temple.

Seven strikes were already a major event that could shake the entire Great Buddha Temple!

One after another, figures flashed towards the direction of the Great Buddha Hall, and even the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, Zen Master Yuanxin, headed towards the Great Buddha Hall.
