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

"Your Majesty, around dusk, Lord Chu was attacked outside the Northern Garrison Command's office."

"One is a monk at the peak of the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and the other is a Dharma Protector of the Seven Killings Organization at the seventh level of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"Lord Chu has killed two people."

"He has already led three thousand Northern Garrison Cavalry out of the city. It is very likely that Lord Chu is going to the Great Buddha Temple to demand an explanation."

Pei Guanyin said softly.

"Minister Chu is now capable of killing a seventh-level Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Si showed a look of surprise on her face and said.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu did indeed slay the Seven Killers Organization's Dharma Aspect Realm Seventh Level Protector."

"I wonder if Lord Chu has always possessed such strength and has been hiding it, or if his cultivation has progressed so rapidly."

Pei Guanyin nodded slightly and said with a respectful expression.

"It does not matter."

Murong Si smiled and said, "The important thing is that Minister Chu's strength has reached this level."

The stronger Chu Aiqing is, the better.

I even hope that Minister Chu has already reached the Ascension Realm, or even the Celestial Realm beyond the Ascension Realm.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Pei Guanyin and Jiang Wan'er spoke with utmost respect.

"Okay, anything else?"

Murong Si waved her hand and said to Pei Guanyin.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu has summoned three thousand elite guards from the Northern Garrison Command, which should be the Sky Guards that Lord Chu recently established."

"Having left the capital, he must be heading to the Great Buddha Temple to seek justice."

Pei Guanyin said with a solemn expression, "Lord Chu must be guessing that the two monks who attempted to assassinate him were disciples of the Great Buddha Temple."

"Dafo Temple?"

"Minister Chu's guess is correct."

"This Great Buddha Temple has never been one to be trifled with."

"With the support of Wanfo Temple, they have always wanted to gain an advantage in the capital."

"We received support from the Wang family of Taiyuan."

"If we're talking about the most likely candidate to make a move, it has to be the Great Buddha Temple."

A cold glint flashed in Murong Si's eyes as she said in a chilling voice, "These monks are getting more and more unruly!"

"Your Majesty, do you think Lord Chu will really take action?"

"We will still make Dafosi Temple give him an explanation."

Jiang Wan'er asked with a curious look on her pretty face.

"If I were Minister Chu, I wouldn't need the Great Buddha Temple to give me any explanation."

"Raze the Great Buddha Temple to the ground!"

Murong Si said with a chilling murderous aura.

The wrath of the emperor can cause millions to die and blood to flow for miles!

"Your Majesty, the strength of this Great Buddha Temple is not simple."

"The heads of the two halls and two academies are both at the peak of the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

“The abbot of Dafosi Temple, Zen Master Yuanxin, has already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.”

"In addition, all the chief disciples are martial artists at the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, or even the seventh level of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"With Lord Chu's abilities, I'm afraid he can't do that..."

Pei Guanyin hesitated for a moment before speaking to Murong Si.

Jiang Wan'er nodded gently; she naturally agreed with Pei Guanyin's opinion.

This Great Buddha Temple is not just a simple branch of the Seven Killings Organization in the capital.

The newly formed Sky Guards were of no help to Chu Xiu.

As for using the same method as last time to wipe out the Seven Killers organization's capital branch, and employing poisonous smoke like the Three Laughs Carefree Powder to eliminate the Great Buddha Temple, it would be an impossible task.

Even they couldn't imagine what method Chu Xiu would use to raze the Great Buddha Temple to the ground.

However, they were not worried about Chu Xiu's safety at all.

You should know that Chu Xiu was being protected in secret by shadow guards arranged by Murong Si.

A mere large Buddhist temple is no match for Chu Xiu!

"I have great confidence in Minister Chu."

"I feel that this time, Minister Chu will surely be able to flatten the entire Great Buddha Temple just as he flattened the capital branch of the Seven Killings Organization!"

Murong Si looked in the direction of the Great Buddha Temple and said with a confident expression.

Pei Guanyin and Jiang Wan'er exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Half an hour later.

The sky was already getting dark.

"Your Excellency, we are less than a hundred miles away from the Great Buddha Temple."

"Should we rest first, or continue on our way?"

Fang Heng glanced in the direction of the Great Buddha Temple and asked Chu Xiu.

"You guys wait here!"

"I'll go deal with some people first!"

Chu Xiu gazed at the silent, dense forests on both sides of the official road in the distance, seemingly devoid of birds, beasts, snakes, and insects. He uttered a single sentence, then leaped from his horse into the air, unleashing the Eight Steps of the Void, and walked on air towards the forest.

You should know that he possesses the ability to observe qi.

All assassinations meant nothing to him!

Even if the monks of Dafosi Temple hid themselves well, they were still like lanterns in the dark night, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Take care of some people?"

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed drastically.

"Commander, should we go and support the lord?"

A member of the Northern Garrison Command, a centurion-level guard, asked Fang Heng.

"Need not!"

"Since you have instructed us to wait here, we cannot go and cause you any trouble."

Fang Heng shook his head and said.

"By the way, this is a Pure Yang Limitless Pill. Fang Heng, take this opportunity to refine this pill."

Chu Xiu's voice came from afar.

A jade bottle flew in from afar and hovered in front of Fang Heng.

"Thank you, sir!"

Fang Heng accepted the jade bottle, dismounted, and said with tears of gratitude.

Although he didn't know what the Pure Yang Limitless Pill that Chu Xiu had given him had any effect.

However, he knew that the pills Chu Xiu had taken out were definitely not simple!

Immediately, Fang Heng sat down cross-legged, opened the jade bottle, and put the Pure Yang Limitless Pill into his mouth.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye.

Chu Xiu appeared above this mountain forest, his hands behind his back, looking down at the people below with a calm expression, and said: "Come out, I have seen you!"

Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm and become a Nascent Soul True Person, you can easily walk on air.

With Chu Xiu's current cultivation level, achieving this would naturally be an easy task.

"Impressive! I didn't expect Lord Chu to have already seen us!"

"No wonder assassination attempts had no effect on Lord Chu."

"However, today, Lord Chu will ultimately die here!"

An extremely old voice rang out from the mountains and forests.

Then, a man in black stepped into the air from the forest!

One after another, figures rose into the air from the mountains and forests.

There were at least dozens of figures.

"Is this a full-scale attack?"

“One at the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, four at the peak of the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, seven at the seventh level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and five at the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.”

"Even someone at the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm has come!"

"Is your Great Buddha Temple going to make a desperate gamble, trying to ambush and kill me on the way before I even reach your temple?"

Chu Xiu's lips curled into a playful smile as he looked at Zen Master Yuanxin, who possessed the highest cultivation level, with a mocking gaze.

With his aura observation technique, Chu Xiu could not only discern their cultivation levels, but also their auras, which revealed them to be Buddhist martial arts.

"I don't know what Lord Chu is talking about."

"I am here on the orders of our Seven Killings Hall Master to kill Lord Chu!"

"Our Seven Kills Organization has failed against Lord Chu far too many times!"

"If Lord Chu doesn't die, our entire Seven Kills Organization will become a laughing stock of the whole world!"

Zen Master Yuanxin looked at Chu Xiu with utter indifference and spoke with icy coldness.

"The Seven Killings Organization?"

"Your Great Buddha Temple is truly hypocritical!"

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "However, that's not important anymore. Perfect. I'll kill you all first, and then there will be no one in the entire Great Buddha Temple who can stop me!"

"Do it!"

"kill!"

With a swift movement, Zen Master Yuanxin transformed into an enormous, gleaming golden Buddha, several tens of feet tall!

This is the Buddha image of the Great Buddha, condensed from the Great Buddha Heart Sutra!

It was as if a true saint or Buddha had descended to earth!

It exudes a spirit of universal salvation and compassion for all humanity!
