Just when the governor of the Yong province sent a request for reinforcements to the Dragon province, his face suddenly changed. He used a technique to peer into the atmosphere and saw that the morale of the people in the eastern part of the Yong province was rapidly plummeting. Even disasters like droughts, floods, and plagues would not be so intense.
"She's in the east!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
The governor of Yongzhou pondered for a long time before letting out a long sigh. "Let's wait for reinforcements!"
Even if he rushed over now, he would not be able to stop her.
It was impossible to lock onto the aura of such an enemy, nor was it possible to divine his location. Moreover, his strength was on par with or even beyond the Ten Demon Kings. It was simply unimaginable.
She couldn't help but blame the Left Imperial Preceptor for failing to kill her despite having such a good opportunity. He was really too useless.
"Then report to the Dragon province. If this continues, there won't be anyone left on the Harmony province before long!"
…
In the Lingguo Temple of the Dragon Province, the Imperial Advisor of the Left was livid. He said nothing.
The Monk Kings were all incomparably shocked. They had thought that she would be wary after heavily injuring the Enemy of Buddha, and that she would need to hide for a period of time to recuperate. They didn't expect the backlash to come so quickly. Perhaps she didn't even know what fear was.
Amidst the solemn atmosphere, a young monk with delicate features stood up and said, "Imperial Preceptor, please head to Yongzhou immediately to provide assistance!"
He was the abbot of Qiu Shan Temple, which was located in Yongzhou and was the largest temple in Yongzhou.
The Left Imperial Preceptor waved his hand. "There's no need to say more. The time isn't right yet. This Enemy Buddha's various techniques are not to be underestimated. She also has the Forsaken Immortal Sword left behind by the Five Absolutes Immortal. Unless there's an extremely good opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to kill her. "
Only if Great Xia gathered all its strength would they have a chance of winning. But it was impossible now. That was why he pushed the rescue to the Lingguo Temple.
"Then This Penniless Monk shall take his leave!"
Abbot Qiu Shan put his palms together, bowed, and turned to leave.
"It's useless for you to go back. You might even lose your life."
The Left Imperial Preceptor said in a low voice. Now that a great change was imminent, he didn't summon the Monk Kings from all over just to deal with the enemy of Buddha. Abbot Qiu Shan was a rare talent in Buddhism. He had gone through three heavenly tribulations in less than 300 years. He had a bright future ahead of him.
Abbot Qiu Shan said, "My Qiu Shan Temple has been worshipped by the people of Yongzhou for ten thousand years. I am the abbot. How can we abandon it! "
The Left Imperial Advisor scolded, "Idiot! Narrow-Minded! "
Abbot Qiu Shan had already left the courtyard, flying through the air.
The other Monk Kings looked at each other. Many of them didn't agree with the Left Master. The Enemy of Buddha was a great enemy of Buddhism. Even if he didn't have enough power and the chances weren't high … He had to go all out. For the sake of the world, how could she be allowed to slaughter the common people so wantonly?
The Left Imperial Preceptor's anger intensified as he flipped his right hand. He held onto the wooden fish and swung it lightly.
The Unraging monk tumbled to the ground, already heavily restrained by the formations, immobilised. He glared at the Imperial Advisor of the Left.
The Left Master threw a Communication Jade Charm at his face. "Calm Anger, look at what you've done. If it weren't for you, I would've killed the Enemy of Buddha and saved countless lives!"
The Unraging monk felt the restraints loosen slightly. He accepted the jade talisman and received the message, which also left him shocked. He said in pity, "Little Ann, oh Little Ann, do you really want to be so obstinate!?"
The Left Imperial Advisor asked, "Do you know your crime?"
"It is the Imperial Preceptor's fault!"
The Left Imperial Advisor laughed from extreme anger. "You've really fallen too deeply into the demonic path."
The Unraging monk said furiously, "If the Enemy of Buddha is here, I'm willing to perish with her and save the common people! However, if the Imperial Advisor had attacked and destroyed the Ghost Tower earlier instead of acting like a despicable person and launching a sneak attack, would it have come to this? "
"Despicable person! What a despicable person! You don't understand the bigger picture, you don't understand the bigger picture. Do you think you can perish with the Enemy of Buddha just because you're dead? The Hungry Ghost realm wants her. If she doesn't die, the Hungry Ghost realm will never give up! "
"I've been reading buddhist scriptures ever since. I've only heard about the Buddha cutting off his flesh to feed eagles and feeding tigers with his body. I've never heard about the Buddha setting up ambushes and hunting eagles and tigers. I've never learned about the bigger picture or the bigger picture either. As the Imperial Advisor, you should've set an example and let the Buddhists of the world understand the spirit of Buddhism instead of scheming and calculating, only considering the pros and cons … "
"... My death might be useless, but there are still countless fellow disciples, arhats and bodhisattvas. The Hungry Ghost realm might not give up, but even if the nine provinces perish, there are still the three thousand worlds and the six paths of saṃsāra. Even if there are countless disasters, as long as the buddhist dharma is not twisted, the eternal lamp can never be extinguished and illuminate all life! The true Enemy of Buddha is not in the outside world, but in our hearts. "
The Unraging monk was heavily restrained, but a grand aura filled the hall right now. There would always be some "fools" who firmly believed in the principles in the books, refusing to turn back even if they ran into the world and bled. Even if they sullied themselves with alcohol and meat and stood against demonfolk, it would not extinguish their will.
"Shut up. Y- you're an evil demon who distorts the buddhist dharma. What do you understand about the spirit of Buddhism?"
"I don't understand, but if the Buddha is like the Imperial Advisor, launching sneak attacks and setting up ambushes, I'm willing to run into the buddha statue and die!"
"I'll strip you of your identity as the Monk King right now. Drag me away and punish me with three thousand strikes!"
… …
The sun set and dusk. A short day passed by, followed by another long night.
"Fellow cultivators, reinforcements from the Dragon province won't be coming. If we want to deal with the Enemy of Buddha, we can only rely on ourselves! As the governor of the Yong province, I have the responsibility to protect my territory. We must fight. If anyone doesn't want to take this risk, feel free to leave. I won't force you to stay. "
The governor of the Yong province said to the dignitaries sternly. Behind him stood the abbot Qiu Shan.
None of the dignitaries said anything about retreating. They were all born and raised in the Yong province. Even though they were extremely distant from mortals, if all the mortals died, where would there be cultivators? The legacies of their sects would be severed too.
"Please give us your orders, your majesty!"
The governor of the Yong province took out the mental map of the Yong province. "This is all we can do …"
Deep in the night.
The great cultivators of the dignitaries were scattered in the sky above the Yong province. They formed groups of two to three people and monitored the entire province. Once they discovered the Enemy of Buddha, they would not be in a hurry to strike. Instead, they would send out messages and gather people so that they could deal a fatal blow to the Enemy of Buddha.
The governor of the Yong province stood on the platform of the "Black Dragon King" to observe the aura and control the overall situation.
Fortunately, the Yong province was slightly smaller than the Green province. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to monitor everything if it was as large as the Frost province or the Mist province. However, the Mist province was the Banyan Tree King's home base. The Frost province was frigid and sparsely populated, so she had never made it her first choice.
"Your majesty, there's fire in the east!" The governor of the Yong province received the news and immediately gazed towards the east. Sure enough, the morale of the people had declined. "Is it still in the east?"
Right when he was about to gather the dignitaries and set off for the east, another piece of news arrived. "Your majesty, there's fire in the northwest too!" "There's fire in the south too!"
For a moment, the Samādhi Flames of White Bone lit up everywhere in the Yong province.
Having recovered their strength, the Skeleton Demons leapt about on the plains as they cackled. They were like kindling that set the forests and towns alight.
The governor of the Yong province hesitated, attempting to determine the true location of the Enemy of Buddha through aura observation.
The abbot who had remained silent the entire time suddenly said, "Your majesty, I sense that the formation around Mound Hill temple has been breached. The Enemy of Buddha is in Mound Hill temple!"
"How is that possible? Even the Black Dragon King struggles to get through the Heavenly King's Earth Blanketing Formation of Mound Hill temple. "
"I don't know. The enemy is in Mound Hill temple. Please send reinforcements immediately. Oh no, the Enemy of Buddha wants to open the demon cavern and draw demonfolk in! "
