The merciful did not command an army. This had been the case since ancient times. These great generals had stepped on piles of bones before. They could not wait to use this opportunity to flatten the Ninth Temple.
Sikong Beichen frowned.
The five First Seats didn't say anything.
Everyone else was just a pretext and an excuse in a contest between the major forces.
When had Lu Zhou ever been treated like a pawn?
At this moment, Kong Lu suddenly fell to his knees and said, "I've seen the golden lotus avatar with my own eyes. Yu Zhenghai is from the golden lotus domain! Hall Master, don't be fooled by this old thing. "
Everyone was shocked.
Chen Beizheng chuckled and said, "Hui Neng is from the Blood Sun Temple. His words can't be trusted, but Kong Lu is from the Ninth Temple. Can't we trust him as well?"
Sikong Beichen frowned again.
The five First Seats glared at Kong Lu.
Although Zhu Xuan was eager for quick success, he had never thought of stabbing his own people. He immediately stepped on him and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Kong Lu's eyes reddened as he said, "I'm not spouting nonsense. They're foreign tribesmen, Golden Lotus cultivators … If you're so capable, use your avatar! I'm not that thick-skinned. I won't lie with my eyes wide open. Buddhists would never lie. Since the Ninth Temple can't make the decision for me, I'll have to trouble General Chen to make the decision for me! "
All this while, Kong Lu had been thinking of ways to kill Yu Zhenghai, but he was stopped by Zhu Xuan. He was furious and displeased. Not only did the five First Seats disregard his feelings, but they even wanted to help Zhu Xuan and protect Yu Zhenghai. How could he not be angry?
Chen Beizheng looked at Kong Lu with satisfaction and said, "With me here, you don't have to be afraid."
"Thank you, General Chen."
Kong Lu's eyes lit up as he moved closer to Chen Beizheng.
Sikong Beichen looked at Kong Lu and said coldly, "Beat him to death outside the hall."
Kong Lu was shocked, and his body trembled.
Chen Beizheng raised his hand and said, "Brother Beichen, you want to silence me? Logically speaking, Kong Lu belongs to the Ninth Temple. I have no right to question his life or death. You can shut his mouth, but can you shut the Blood Sun Temple's mouth? Even if there is no authentication, can you guarantee that they will never take out their Dharmakaya? "
He turned to look at Lu Zhou from the corner of his eye. Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Brother Beichen, aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into your house?"
These words were very clear.
Chen Beizheng knew the Ninth Temple was trying to recruit these people.
Although Sikong Beichen was the Temple Master of the Ninth Temple and was renowned in the world, he still had to consider his relationship with the imperial court.
The five Seats of First Seats followed his lead.
Sikong Beichen fell into deep thought. He placed his right hand on the table and moved his fingers slightly.
He was weighing the pros and cons.
Nobody cared about Lu Zhou's feelings and thoughts.
…
Sikong Beichen hesitated.
However, at this moment, Lu Zhou had made up his mind.
He only had two Deadly Strike Cards. If he used them all at once, he would surely offend the Ninth Temple and the imperial court. The five First Seats and the two generals would fight to the death. His identity as a foreign tribesman would also attract the attention of the cultivation world. This was the worst possible outcome.
Lu Zhou had a better plan.
He slowly turned around and looked at Chen Beizheng indifferently. "You want to capture me?"
Indeed, Chen Beizheng did not think much of Lu Zhou. However, when he saw the spirited look in the old man's eyes, his interest was piqued. He said, "I'm only following orders. For the sake of Brother Beichen, I won't make things too difficult for you."
Lu Zhou did not care about the Holy Palace's rules. He raised his left hand slowly. The Disguise Card had already shattered.
A miniature avatar appeared above his palm.
The color was astonishingly red.
Under the Golden Lotus, the nine leaves emitted flames, shining brightly.
The five First Seats widened their eyes. 'Isn't that a blue lotus? Why did it suddenly turn into a golden lotus? '
Xia Changqiu and Tian Buji were equally baffled. They had been shocked enough along the way. Now, the sudden appearance of a blue and red lotus made them wonder if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
They rubbed their eyes and looked again. It was still a red lotus!
…
"Impossible! That's impossible! I clearly saw a golden lotus! It's fake! It's fake! "Hui Neng struggled to his feet. His eyes were bloodshot.
He remembered what happened at the Blood Sun Temple better than anyone else.
Chen Beizheng rose to his feet. He looked at the avatar in disbelief. He had brought Hui Neng here because he wanted to silence Sikong Beichen. He wanted to use this opportunity to suppress the Ninth Temple. Chen Beizheng's intelligence and sources told him that the old man who came to the Thousand Willow Monastery was a golden lotus cultivator.
'How's this possible?'
A hint of shock flashed in Chen Beizheng's eyes before he regained his composure.
At the same time, he was also certain that it was a Nine-leaf karmic fire cultivator.
Sikong Beichen looked at the Nine-leaf red lotus and nodded in satisfaction. Since it was a red lotus cultivator, the Ninth Temple had to recruit him. Moreover, he was a prodigy who had mastered the karmic fire. Seeing was believing. The five First Seats' words about the golden lotus were all thrown to the back of their minds.
"General Chen, the truth is clear. Do you have anything to say?" Sikong Beichen was as calm as ever. However, his tone was clearly rising.
At his level, his reputation was more important than anything else. However, it was not as important.
Chen Beizheng raised two fingers.
A red energy sword appeared between his fingers. It shot out like an icicle.
Bam!
The energy sword was extremely sharp, and it pierced Hui Neng's chest.
Hui Neng was shocked. He could not resist at all. He pointed at Chen Beizheng and Lu Zhou before he looked at Sikong Beichen again. The renowned figure's life was slipping away. His chest was instantly stained with blood. "A monk … doesn't lie … A monk doesn't lie …"
He fell backward.
His eyes widened as he spat out a mouthful of turbid air. His chest caved in, and he breathed his last.
A life was taken with a flick of a finger.
Was this the power of a Ten-leaf cultivator?
Ten seconds later, the avatar in Lu Zhou's palm disappeared.
He was calculating the consequences of killing Chen Beizheng.
Chen Beizheng could not do anything. Sikong Beichen's attitude was the most important.
When the red lotus appeared, it was clear that Sikong Beichen was on Chen Beizheng's opposite side.
After killing Hui Neng with a flick of a finger, Chen Beizheng scoffed. He cupped his fists and said, "Hui Neng lied and misled me. Brother Beichen, you won't be angry, will you?"
"It's normal for scoundrels to rule the world," Sikong Beichen said.
"I've offended you today. I'll pay you a visit another day to apologize." Chen Beizheng bowed slightly at Sikong Beichen. Then, he turned around and said, "Farewell."
His face was gloomy and unhappy.
He had barely taken a few steps when Lu Zhou finally said, "Wait."
Chen Beizheng stopped and turned around. He asked in confusion, "Is there something you want?"
If it were an ordinary Nine-leaf cultivator, he would not be bothered. However, this was a Nine-leaf cultivator with karmic fire. He might become a formidable opponent in the future. Chen Beizheng decided to spare Chen Beizheng today and think of a way to kill him in the future.
"Did I allow you to leave?" Lu Zhou turned around and stroked his beard. His eyes were calm.
"…"
The atmosphere in the Holy Palace was tense.
Even Sikong Beichen did not dare to challenge Chen Beizheng like this.
Sikong Beichen frowned deeply.
Chen Beizheng's gaze turned cold as he said, "Brother Beichen didn't even say anything, and yet, you're trying to stop me?"
"I've faced countless powerful enemies in my life. Nobody has ever dared to act so presumptuously before me. You're arrogant and haughty," Lu Zhou said.
"Do I have to ask for your opinion when I'm doing things?" Chen Beizheng was filled with killing intent.
"Young man, you don't know the immensity of the heavens and earth. Today, I'll show you how great the heavens are …"
Lu Zhou raised his right palm.
The item card in his palm shattered.
A vortex swiftly formed and spun counterclockwise.
As Lu Zhou raised his palm, the counterclockwise rotation sped up. His body was like Mount Tai as he thrust his arm forward.
The others widened their eyes when they saw this. What was this old senior trying to do?
The five First Seats, Xia Changqiu, Tian Buji, Little Yuan 'er, Conch, and Yu Shangrong were puzzled as well.
A Nine-leaf cultivator was going to attack a Ten-leaf cultivator?
Lu Zhou thrust his arm forward.
He struck with his palm.
His palm seal changed according to his will. His thoughts became reality.
When the Fearless Seal appeared, the people were at ease.
The red light illuminated the entire Holy Palace. It shone brightly as it advanced.
Chen Beizheng sneered and said, "Do you think a mere Nine-leaf karmic fire cultivator can shake an ant?"
Chen Beizheng raised his palm to meet the attack.
He dealt with it calmly.
Smack!
The Fearless Seal pushed forward.
Chen Beizheng thought he would instantly nullify the palm seal. However, it did not vanish. Instead, it pushed him back.
"Hm?"
He increased the force of his palm strike.
'No!
It's still not enough! '
"No!"
He swiftly retreated. The red palm seal grew larger. Soon enough, it was as tall as a person.
The crimson palm seal struck fear into the hearts of the others.
A Nine-leaf cultivator had forced back a Ten-leaf cultivator?
The Holy Palace was filled with shock and fear.
However, this was not the end.
The palm seal continued to push Chen Beizheng back.
A dangerous aura crept into his heart.
Whizz!
Chen Beizheng summoned his avatar.
A 200-foot avatar appeared. Chen Beizheng did not control his avatar, and it instantly tore through the Holy Palace's doors. Shrapnel filled the air as it shattered.
The palm seal did not stop as it retreated.
It retreated out of the Holy Palace.
It hovered in the air.
Chen Beizheng's 200-foot avatar appeared before everyone's eyes.
Everyone ran over, wanting to see this scene clearly.
Sikong Beichen's silhouette brushed past the others and arrived before the Holy Palace's doors. The famous Ten-leaf expert of Great Tang was shocked by this scene as well.
Ten red leaves spun swiftly around the red lotus that was as large as a pond.
Chen Beizheng's face flushed red.
Bam!
His arm was severed.
The Great Seal of Fearlessness instantly grew to 200-feet!
If one was bigger, the seal would grow as well.
Boom!
The 200-foot red lotus avatar creaked when it was struck by the Great Seal of Fearlessness. Chen Beizheng's eyes narrowed. His expression was incredulous. That was clearly a Nine-leaf cultivator … How could it possess such destructive power?
The Great Seal of Fearlessness slammed down like a waterfall from the nine heavens.
Boom!
The 200-foot red lotus avatar exploded like red fireworks. It shattered into a red fluorescent light that hovered in the air before it gradually faded away.
"…"
Everyone felt their scalps tingle, and their hair stood on end.
That inconspicuous palm seal was clearly only a Nine-leaf cultivator, and yet, it was able to force a Ten-leaf cultivator into a corner?!
A tiny ant trying to shake a tree. How laughable!
The old senior's words had woken them up.
'Young people don't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth!
