"He might not have deliberately deceived Old Fifth. It's more likely that he has other motives and misled Old Fifth in the process of executing it."
Zhang Dongyun said thoughtfully, "The collapse of the Immortals is not normal..."
Shen Herong and Zong Tianxuan both nodded slightly.
"Old Fifth, let him be quiet for a while, lest he gets in the way."
Zhang Dongyun said, "As for Li Shulou, you need to be careful."
The two girls nodded together. "Don't worry, Big Brother. We understand."
Lei Han and Arhat Forgiveness were both killed. When the news spread, the morale of the people in Chang'an was greatly boosted.
The former had brought a rare setback to Chang'an.
The latter was at the fourteenth level, an expert above the Buddhist Dharmakaya.
In the history of the Yan Huang Realm, there had not been an expert above the fourteenth level for many years. It was not until the rise of the City Lord of Chang'an, the return of Li Shulou, and the return of Mahaloni from the Benevolent Pure Land that a new expert above the fourteenth level appeared in the cultivation world of Yan Huang.
But even including the three of them, in the entire history of Yan Huang, there were very few existences above the fourteenth level.
The fifteenth level Arhat Forgiveness was defeated by the City Lord of Chang'an, which greatly encouraged everyone in Chang'an.
After all, everyone was just guessing about the City Lord's cultivation strength before, and no one had a correct answer.
But now, the City Lord of Chang 'an had taken down the Forgiving Arhat, a Buddhist monk of the fifteenth realm. Everyone was completely relieved.
Even when they heard that Arhat Forgiveness and Mahaloni had the backing of the Benevolent Pure Land and a Buddhist Bodhisattva, everyone's mood was much calmer.
They went all the way down and quickly swept through the Aparagodānīya Continent again, and advanced further to the Far Western Sea.
This time, everyone was going to completely wipe out the remnants of the Buddhist Pure Land.
It was a little unexpected, but it seemed to be reasonable.
Chang'an swept through the West this time, and the Buddhist resistance was much weaker.
Not only did they not see Mahaloni, Jing Hua, and other top Buddhist experts, even Master Zhi Yuan, Long Shituo, and the others disappeared without a trace.
The Buddhists began to flee the Yan Huang Realm in large numbers.
In order to leave Yan Huang and traverse the void, one would need to have an extremely high cultivation level.
The upper echelons of the Buddhist sects were busy trying to get as many Buddhist disciples out of Yan Huang.
Chang 'an City gradually took over the entire Flameyellow World.
In the boundless void outside, Maharoni and Jing Hua looked at Master Zhi Yuan and Long Shituo with solemn expressions.
Jinghua turned around and looked at the pale-faced Li Shulou, who was sitting on a green duckweed leaf to regulate his breathing.
Just now, Li Shulou had left Yan Huang as soon as he realized that the talismans on Sheyin Arhat and the others had been crushed.
Maharoni, Jing Hua, Gao Liang, and the others had no choice but to follow closely behind.
What Li Shulou could think of, so could everyone else.
When Chang 'an realized that they had failed to bait them, the Castellan of Chang' an might take the initiative to attack them.
Regardless of whether or not the other party had real skills, the fifteenth realm Arhat of Forgiveness had already been defeated.
In this situation, Li Shulou was injured and Mahaloni was alone. Everyone could only avoid the opponent's sharp edge.
Moreover, they couldn't afford to be slow. They had to withdraw quickly.
However, when they retreated from Yan Huang and regained their senses, they found that the Castellan of Chang 'an had not really chased after them.
"What is false is true, and what is true is false?"
Jing Hua frowned slightly. "Is he bluffing to scare us away? Although Uncle Forgiveness is no match for him, he might have to pay a heavy price to defeat him. Is that why he can't chase after us? "
Li Shulou shook his head gently. "I can't be sure. The destruction of the talismans on Grandmaster Sheyin and the others must be due to the Immortal fragment in Lay Monk Ming's hands. However, I don't know his current situation, but …"
His gaze was calm. "Lay Monk Ming's situation seems a little strange."
Jing Hua asked, "How strange? Enlightened Master, please tell us."
"If Layman Ming was bluffing just now, why would he pretend to be Grandmaster Forgiving to send a message back to deceive us?"
Li Shulou said softly, "If he was so sure, would I be so cautious? He even advised Grandmaster Mahaloni not to go and only asked Grandmaster Sheyin to investigate first?
If I wasn't so cautious and went over with Grandmaster Mahaloni, what would happen to Lay Monk Ming? "
As he spoke, he looked at Jing Hua.
Jing Hua said softly, "The Benefactor Ming we know is not such a person who blindly takes risks.
Although he is not as meticulous as Benefactor Lei, Benefactor Ming is always prepared. He will not bet his own safety on the judgment of his opponent. "
At this time, Mahaloni suddenly said, "What you mean is that since Benefactor Ming dares to deceive us, he must have something to rely on. However, he doesn't take the initiative to chase after us, which means that his trump card is not easy to use and is very precious …"
If they could drive them away and take over Yan Huang alone, they would have achieved a stage victory.
The trump card might be used one less. If they could not use it, they would try not to.
After all, the other party might still have scruples about Bodhisattva Cihang behind Arhat.
"… Or maybe, his trump card is not easy to move. At least, when it moves, it can't catch up with our speed."
Mahaloni looked at Li Shulou and continued, "For example, a Taoist formation? Just like the Taichu Six Directions Formation of Zhenren Peng of the Tai Qing Palace in the Dongsheng Divine Continent. "
Li Shulou nodded gently. "Perhaps it's because I am a cultivator, but Lay Monk Ming's current actions make me suspect this."
"Buddha is merciful. Zhenren Li is a prudent person. Your worries are not impossible."
Jing Hua put her palms together. "I wonder if Zhenren Li has a method to set up a formation to fight against it?"
Before seeing the formation, Li Shulou couldn't say whether he could break it.
The other side knew that Li Shulou was here, but the City Lord of Chang 'an was still so confident. If it was really a formation, it was probably not simple.
Compared to the uncertain breaking of the formation, if they also had a powerful formation to fight against it, it would undoubtedly be more active.
The formation map of the Taichu Six Directions Formation was kept in the Buddhist Kingdom of the Aparagodaniya Continent.
But because no one could preside over the formation after Peng Ziling's death, it could only be put aside.
Although they had Li Shulou now, Mahaloni and Jing Hua had no intention of taking it out.
It was not that they wanted to hide it, but it was useless to take it out.
They all knew the ability of the Taichu Six Directions Formation, but it was not enough to fight against a master of the fifteenth realm.
If Peng Ziling, or more importantly, Ying Xiao, were still alive, this formation might have room for further improvement.
But now, there was no need to think about it.
Chang 'an's formation must be stronger.
If they wanted to fight against it, they could only see if Li Shulou had a way.
"I still need to think about some immature ideas. I'm afraid they won't be useful in a short time."
Li Shulou said, "What's more, we don't have any treasures to set up the formation."
Mahaloni and Jing Hua looked at Li Shulou without saying a word.
The other party had already obtained Lei Han's fragment of the Immortals.
If everything he said was true, then he had already gotten what he wanted, and there was no need to continue to fight against Chang 'an.
Li Shulou had mostly relied on himself to get the fragments of the Immortals from Lei Han. At the same time, he had also saved Jing Hua from Lei Han, so he had nothing to do with Buddhism. In the future, when he went to the Benevolent Bodhisattva Pure Land, he would not have to be embarrassed.
Right now, he could totally leave without a second thought.
"What treasures do you need to set up the formation?"
Slowly, Mahaloni said, "Please tell me, Zhenren Li. I may try to help."
Li Shulou raised his head and thought for a moment, then finally nodded. "In that case, thank you, Master."
He flicked his finger gently, and a leaf of green duckweed floated out with his name written on it. It fell into Mahaloni's hand.
"I need some time to heal. At the same time, I will try to find treasures to set up the formation. If you find anything, you can send it directly to the Benevolent Bodhisattva Pure Land. I will visit the Benevolent Bodhisattva later."
Li Shulou nodded at Jinghua and bowed to the crowd. Then, he disappeared into the pitch-black void of the universe.
"Take care, Zhenren."
Mahaloni and Jing Hua watched Li Shulou leave and did not say anything for a long time.
Gao Liang, the elder of the Extermination Sword Sect, who had been watching coldly and not intervening, said at this time, "What a sanctimonious man. He is blackmailing you."
Mahaloni smiled slightly. "At the moment, Zhenren Li is at least a man of his word. His inference about Chang 'an is quite likely. To fight against Chang' an, we need Zhenren Li's help."
In the message sent by the "fake" Arhat Forgiveness in Chang 'an, there was the artistic conception of the Manjushri Relic.
Whether Lei Han had joined forces with Chang 'an or Chang' an had killed Lei Han, it meant that the Manjushri Relic had fallen into the hands of Chang 'an.
To these Buddhist disciples, this was simply a terrible nightmare.
After the Manjushri Relic recovered its Primordial Qi and could be used again, Chang 'an could make Mahaloni, who was in the fifteenth realm, helpless without using his trump card.
The Manjushri Relic was obtained after the death of Manjushri Bodhisattva. In the hands of some people, it could almost restrain all Buddhist disciples in the fifteenth realm and below.
So now, Li Shulou was the real main force in their fight against Chang 'an.
Whether he was blackmailed or concentrated his strength on one person, as long as Li Shulou kept his word, Mahaloni would not mind betting heavily on him.
"Arhat Forgiveness is the personal disciple of Benevolent Bodhisattva. We don't even know whether he is alive or dead now. Doesn't Benevolent Bodhisattva care about him?" Gao Liang asked with a frown.
Mahaloni sighed softly. "I will go to the Pure Land of Benevolent Bodhisattva and report this matter to him. Bodhisattva, please make a decision."
Hearing that he was not very confident, Gao Liang frowned even more, and there was doubt in his eyes.
Mahaloni did not say anything more. He put his palms together and said, "I'm going."
Jinghua smiled and said, "Zhenren Li's preparation is one thing, but whether he can get the treasures to set up the formation is still unknown. The key is whether the two Divine Masters of your sect can make a move."
Gao Liang exhaled a long breath and said, "The communication is not smooth. I'll go back and have a look in person."
After that, he turned into a black Sword Qi and left.
The smile on Jinghua's face gradually disappeared and became serious.
Previously, many masters had joined forces to encircle and suppress Lei Han and then went to Yan Huang together, but now they were in a mess.
The nun looked back into the distance.
In her sight, Yan Huang was still Yan Huang.
