My filial piety will never change

It was the first time that Manji had seen such miraculous medical skills. The people in Shenchun Pavilion were completely unable to match them.

After the operation was completed, Lin Zhenkan and his son slowly woke up. Upon seeing Zhao Yuchen, the former's eyes widened, ready to get up and fight for his life. However, he lay down again just as he sat up, panting like a dead dog.

Zhao Yuchen said calmly, "Although death has been avoided, a full recovery will still require a great deal of resources and time. Also, I advise you not to have any evil thoughts. Look at this."

Two faint green lights appeared between Zhao Yuchen's eyes, like green flames.

Manji was shocked: "These are the soul cores of both of them..."

"Yes, this is the most important thing for a monk. Once it is destroyed, their soul will be shattered. In other words, as long as I think about it, they will die immediately."

"You are so insidious." Man Ji's eyes were about to pop out blood.

Zhao Yuchen said: "As I said just now, I have no good feelings towards you, nor do I trust you. The only way to communicate is to balance interests and means. I have a few requests, and I hope you can do them."

Manji knew that Qiankun Hall had lost its eligibility to compete, and now he was not sure he could keep Zhao Yuchen. On the contrary, if he could get rid of him immediately, he would be willing to exchange the lives of Lin Zhenkan and Lin Qi for it.

After all, it is because Zhao Yuchen has the ability to kill a true immortal in seconds, coupled with this strange concealment technique, if he escapes, the threat he poses will be absolutely fatal.

Man Jidao: "What do you want us to do?"

Zhao Yuchen said, "First, I want half of Qiankun Palace's existing resources and half of its future income. Second, I want to sever control over its subordinate forces, allowing them to freely choose new patrons. Third, you must keep the above two points absolutely confidential. Do not disclose them on your own initiative."

"You are a lion with a big mouth!"

"If you lose your resources, you can earn them again. And if you follow me, you will always have a chance to turn things around."

"When the Holy Son comes back to retrieve the Broken Divine Mirror, he will definitely find it."

"You just need to say that you used the Broken Divine Mirror in exchange for their lives, and pretend you don't know anything else."

"Since you have such means, why don't you just subdue the other two families as well? You can even ignore the Holy Son."

Zhao Yuchen said, "You old thing, you still want to test my background. Take care of your own business first."

After saying this, he disappeared.

Manji wiped the sweat from his forehead, still in shock.

Lin Qi asked: "Ancestor, father, what is going on?"

Manji recounted what happened when he fainted.

Lin Qi, who has never been weak in his life, clenched his fists and said, "Are we just going to be manipulated?"

Man Ji sighed, "You didn't see how Master Wufa died. He was shot through the head in just a split second. If Yi San hadn't intervened in time, Master Wuyu would have been killed by him. In other words, if I had been the first person he wanted to kill, I might not be sitting here."

Lin Zhenkan was extremely unwilling to give in: "After all, he is the only powerful person in the Divine Sword Sect and Yin Yang Valley. As long as we unite, how can he be so rampant!"

Manji sighed again: "If you all could truly be so united, how could the situation in the Holy Land have evolved into what it is now?"

After hearing this, Lin Zhenkan said helplessly, "With such a great figure emerging from Yuxuan Continent, the future situation is foreseeable."

Manji was ultimately able to withstand the ups and downs. "It's not all bad news. In fact, we are the first group outside of the Divine Sword Sect to see the overall situation clearly. We will still have a place in the future."

Lin Qi said: "Old Ancestor, do you mean that we should bow our heads and become vassals of others?"

Manji and Lin Zhenkan looked at each other and said nothing more.

……

Zhao Yuchen returned to the Divine Sword Sect and reported the results of the operation to the women. Finally, he said, "I also plan to go to the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple."

Chapter 120 I hope you rule the Sanctuary

As the abbot of Jinchan Buddhist Temple, Master Wuxiang's death caused a sensation in the entire holy land.

Internally, things were relatively quiet at Jinchan Buddhist Temple. From yesterday until now, the monks had been meditating and chanting as needed, while those practicing cultivation had continued as needed. Its affiliated businesses also continued to operate.

Many forces related to him sent people to pay their respects, but the Jinchan Buddhist Temple stated that the body of Master Wufa had been dealt with and no rituals would be held.

They also did not make any response regarding their involvement in the dispute between Qiankun Palace and Shenjian Sect yesterday.

This was not in line with the Jinchan Buddhist Academy's usual style of being overbearing and unwilling to suffer any loss. Perhaps they had other plans, or perhaps they were truly intimidated by Zhao Yuchen's terrifying strength.

After all, one of the three great wizards died and one was seriously injured, and the top combat power was halved, so it is reasonable to keep a low profile.

After a short rest, Zhao Yuchen set out for the Jinchan Buddhist Temple, intending to sneak in using the same method. However, as soon as he stepped through the gate, a warning sign arose in his heart. He saw faint threads of light floating around. Some of them fell on him.

These threads of light contained a power that even the eyes of insight could not see through, and their drifting paths were irregular. As the view widened, almost the entire Buddhist temple was filled with these threads of light.

The monks and pilgrims in the temple were inevitably contaminated by this light thread, but they were completely unaware of it and it did not affect them at all.

Zhao Yuchen didn't dare to be arrogant this time and decided to withdraw from the Buddhist temple and make other plans.

"Since you are here, why don't you have a chat with me?"

A separate voice entered his eardrum, and some of the silk threads in front of him began to connect in series, forming an invisible guide.

It seems that these light threads were arranged by this person. They were detected when I stepped into the Buddhist temple. Even if they were absolutely hidden, they could not be isolated.

The failure of absolute concealment means that he has lost a trump card, and this is someone else's territory, so it is not advisable to rush in.

He followed the thread's guidance and replied, "Master, your Buddhist teachings are profound. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to discuss this with you. Let's talk about it next time."

"Don't underestimate yourself, benefactor. I didn't want to die tragically at your hands, nor did I want to be seriously injured and unable to recover. This has proven your extraordinary ability. Come, I am not seeking revenge on you, nor do I intend to further escalate the feud. I just want to discuss something important with you."

"The scene where Wuxiang and Wuyu, two highly respected masters, lied as easily as drinking water is still vivid in my mind. I really don't dare to take this risk."

"Ah~"

The man sighed and then appeared in front of Zhao Yuchen.

I saw that this was a very old monk with a hunched body, a sparse white beard, and a white robe with gold thread, with only his bald head exposed.

Zhao Yuchen was amazed by the monk's cultivation and took two steps back. "May I ask for the master's name?"

"My Buddhist name is Dumo." He murmured softly and then walked out of the Buddhist temple. "If I go outside, the donor should feel at ease."

His appearance did not attract the attention of others, as if he and Zhao Yuchen had entered a state of concealment.

This is indeed the case, only Zhao Yuchen can see him.

Cross the demon?

Zhao Yuchen didn’t know much about the Jinchan Buddhist Temple. He only knew that there were three great masters in the temple: Wuxiang, Wuyu, and Wuqiu.

Considering that both Qiankun Palace and Shenjian Sect have ancestors in charge, this Demon Master must be a similar existence.

But this person puts much more pressure on Zhao Yuchen than Man Ji and Shen Qingyang. This is not only due to his strong strength, but more from his ancient and vast temperament. He is like a remnant from an ancient myth that has survived to the present. He has only felt this feeling from Shaxue Tianzun.

Without time to think, he had followed Du Mo to a barren mountain hundreds of miles away from the Buddhist temple.

Without the strange environment of the Buddhist temple, Zhao Yuchen felt a little calmer. Even if there was real danger, there would be no obstacles to escape.

After the two of them paused, Zhao Yuchen asked, "Master, what do you want to say to this junior?"

Dumo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Donor, please answer a question for me first. Why did you come here in seclusion?"

Zhao Yuchen said truthfully, "I want to put some pressure on the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple so that you won't continue to cause trouble. It would be best if you could cooperate with my subsequent plans."

"The donor is honest."

"Since you've discovered my whereabouts, there's no point in hiding it. I can't just say I'm here to burn incense and worship Buddha, right?"

"Then what are the subsequent plans of the donor?"

Zhao Yuchen chuckled and said, "My subsequent plan is to unite the entire Yuxuan Continent to face future disasters together."

Dumo also smiled and said, "The big Buddha statue in the temple should be sat on by the donor."

"Hahaha... If you're willing to kneel down and worship me, that's not impossible." Zhao Yuchen said jokingly, then continued, "Master, it's your turn to answer my question."

Dumo's eyes were full of depth as he spoke, "The Holy Land is on the verge of collapse. If it's not repaired in time, it will be a disaster. This is why I allowed Wuxiang and the others to take action. But who knew that the donor would suddenly appear and cut off Nianxiang. Wuxiang and Wuyu ended up with one dead and the other injured. It's all fate."

"Master, how did you know that the Sanctuary was about to collapse?"

"The Holy Domain is where the highest fighting power of Yuxuan Continent is assembled, and the barrier serves to nurture and protect it. However, it was set up by the old Saint Son. After his death, the maintenance task should have been inherited by the new Saint Son. Unfortunately, the new Saint Son has long since left the Holy Domain, and the Saint Son is now just an empty shell. The remaining power of the old Saint Son is about to dissipate, which means the barrier will collapse. Once the barrier collapses, the most abundant spiritual energy will completely disperse, leaving the fighting power without protection. If the demons from outside the domain attack, the consequences can be imagined."

Zhao Yuchen was surprised at Du Mo's honesty. This bald man actually told him such important information.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yuchen said, "Then how can you solve this problem this time?"

Du Modao said, "The only way to repair the barrier is to unite all the monks in the Holy Land and devote their resources and strength together without any distractions. However, everyone in the world is selfish. Even if we speak in the name of the Holy Son, we cannot achieve this."

"So after all your discussions, you decided to start with the Divine Sword Sect and swallow it up, and then swallow up the Qiankun Palace at the same time. This way, other forces will have to cooperate." Zhao Yuchen finally understood why the fake Son of God was hanging out with the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple and the Qiankun Palace.

Du Mo sighed, "That's right."

"Why don't you just announce the true situation? Although some people will flee, I believe that more people are still willing to contribute to the Sanctuary."

"The demons from outside the domain are already eyeing us covetously. If we make the situation known in advance, they will surely attack us in advance. By then, it will be difficult for us to resolve the problem."

Zhao Yuchen said slowly, "Then what is your purpose in telling me so much?"

Dumo's eyes narrowed, "I hope the donor can rule the Holy Land."

.

Chapter 121 The two disciples deserve this retribution

Even if Zhao Yuchen had a strong mentality, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this moment. "I ruined your plan, killed Wuxiang, and severely injured Wuyu. And you still hope that I can unify the Holy Land?"

Du Mo nodded, "Yes. But my hope does not represent the wishes of the False Saint Son, nor does it represent the hopes of the entire Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple. It only represents me personally."

Zhao Yuchen's expression suddenly fell. "May I ask how much influence the master has in the Golden Cicada Buddhist Academy?"

Du Mo said: "They will obey any arrangements I make."

Zhao Yuchen said, "If that's the Master's wish, couldn't you just give the order directly? Why do you say it doesn't represent the entire Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple?"

Du Mo said: "The cause and effect between the donor and the Buddhist temple has not yet been resolved. Even if I give orders, the monks will find it difficult to obey, and it will be counterproductive. As for how to resolve this cause and effect, I can give you a clear path."

"please say."

"Capture the desirelessness and the needlessness."

"Huh? You're pitting your own people?"

"If Wuyu and Wuqiu are defeated, I will find an excuse to retreat into seclusion, and the monks will be leaderless. Then, if you and the Divine Sword Sect can attack again, I can cooperate with them and take down the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple."

"Master is worthy of being a master. For the sake of great cause, he even betrays his own people." Zhao Yuchen thought deeply for a moment and said, "Then I will go and kill Wu Yu now."

Du Mo said: "Wu Yu and Wu Qiu are both in the private courtyard right now. There is a barrier protecting the outside, so you can't force your way in. I will create an opportunity for you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master!" Zhao Yuchen expressed his gratitude to him.

"At midnight tonight, I will bring Wu Yu and Wu Qiu here, and you can just take action then." Du Mo offered another plan.

"Won't they get suspicious?"

"They trust me very much. They have absolutely no doubts."

"Okay. I'll come back tonight."

"Waiting for the donor's arrival." Dumo disappeared into the sky.

Zhao Yuchen immediately returned to the Divine Sword Sect and called everyone together for a discussion.

The meeting included Zhao Yuchen, Sheng Ying, Shen Suxin, Qing Meng and Bai Chong.

Zhao Yuchen asked, "Have you heard of this master called Du Mo?"

Sheng Ying shook her head: "I've never heard of it."

The others also shook their heads.

Bai Zhong said: "The ancestor is knowledgeable and may be able to provide some clues."

Immediately, someone was sent to fetch Shen Qingyang. Shen Qingyang was also a little confused. "Du Mo? I don't have any impression. But the Du generation is the oldest generation in the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple. The former Du Hai Shenfo was one of the gods. He founded the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple before his death. From what you said, this Du Mo is probably not to be trusted. What happened tonight is most likely a trap."

Ao Jiu and others from the South Sea had previously plotted a feigned collaboration. To Zhao Yuchen and the others, the Golden Cicada Buddhist Academy's tactics this time weren't particularly clever.

Shengying pondered and said, "If this is a conspiracy, then it's too rudimentary. Considering that the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple has been able to stand in the Holy Land for many years, it wouldn't be so foolish."

Bai Zhong shook his head and said, "Could it be true?"

Zhao Yuchen continued, "That's really unrealistic. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on. Doesn't the Golden Cicada Buddhist Temple have someone of the ancestor's level?"

Shen Qingyang said, "Since the death of the Duhai Divine Buddha, the Jinchan Buddhist Temple has not had a true ruler. At least not publicly. Perhaps the Dumo you saw is a hidden master."

Shen Suxin said, "Since they're sure there's something fishy going on, then just don't go. Let's see what else they can do."

Zhao Yuchen asked a question off topic: "Have the entrances and exits of the Holy Land been unblocked?"
