"Great danger?"
Song Emperor Zhao Kuangming's eyes shone brightly, but his expression remained calm.
"What kind of danger? Can you tell me more about it?"
Danger and danger were two completely different concepts.
The Thousand Tree Buddha was a Buddha at the peak of the three realms of Buddhism. There weren't many existences in this world that could threaten him.
However, strictly speaking, there were still two types of existences.
The first type was quantity.
If many 17th realm cultivators surrounded the Thousand Tree Buddha and he stepped into the encirclement, he would be in great danger and might even be killed.
Of course, it was very difficult to kill a powerful Buddhist cultivator like him. The reason was because of the karmic deduction. He knew the danger ahead and tried his best to avoid it.
As for the second type, the opponent was still an individual, but he could defeat the Thousand Tree Buddha in all aspects.
He could be said to be a legendary existence, but Song Emperor Zhao Kuangming was more concerned about him.
"If he's an existence like the Gautama Buddha or the Holy Master, it's indeed unbelievable." Song Emperor looked at the Thousand Tree Buddha.
The Thousand Tree Buddha shook his head lightly and sighed. "This poor monk's cultivation is not enough. Dust has clouded my vision, and I can't see anything clearly. Even this sense of danger comes and goes. It makes this poor monk feel uneasy."
His subsequent explanation didn't make Song Emperor Zhao Kuangming feel relieved.
With Thousand Tree Buddha's cultivation realm, he couldn't get a clear result. It was just like an illusion. This meant that the opponent couldn't be underestimated.
"The City Lord of Chang 'an is mysterious and unpredictable. He's also related to the so-called Immortals. He's a difficult opponent to deal with. I knew it from the start."
Song Emperor Zhao Kuangming said in a deep voice, "But this won't be a reason for me to back down."
The Thousand Tree Buddha nodded silently.
As an emperor, he had to have some tricks up his sleeve.
However, as a martial artist, the most basic bravery would never fade. Even if he couldn't hide it now, there would be a day when the dagger would be revealed.
Sometimes, he had to do it even if he knew he couldn't, let alone when he was facing an uncertain risk.
"We must get Manjushri's sarira back. As long as Chang 'an doesn't return it, we won't give up." The Thousand Tree Buddha also expressed his stance to Song Emperor.
Moreover, Ananda Bodhisattva had already gone ahead.
No matter what the result was, he couldn't just abandon Ananda Bodhisattva.
"The danger may come from outside instead of inside Chang 'an." A voice suddenly sounded from afar.
Emperor Song and the Thousand Tree Buddha turned around and saw a young man arrive before them.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a little impolite," Emperor Song said calmly.
Emperor Song knew this young man.
He was a Martial Dao Divine Lord in the 15th realm of a world under the rule of the Great Song God Dynasty.
Although his strength was not as strong as Li Guqun of the Cloud World Boundary, he was still considered a tyrant that occupied a world.
Compared to Li Guqun, this man was more loyal to the Great Song God Dynasty. He could be considered a capable general under Wei Wan and Tian Gong.
However, this young man's eyes were tightly shut, and his expression was stiff.
On his forehead, there was an additional pattern that looked like a tattoo.
There was a tattoo of a Qilin.
The tattoo protruded upward like a sarcoma, resembling a qilin's head poking out of the man's forehead.
The Qilin's body was covered in black scales and its eyes were blood-red. Not only did it not look like a virtuous beast, but it was also overflowing with evil energy, revealing its ferocious nature.
Clearly, the owner of this body was no longer the original Martial Dao Divine Lord.
A Demonic Dao overlord whose cultivation was far stronger than the original owner had temporarily invaded and occupied this body.
The person before Emperor Song and the Thousand Tree Buddha was the Blood Qilin Demon Lord.
"Indeed, I've offended you. However, the situation is urgent. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Zhao."
The young man's lips were tightly shut, and the Qilin's head on his forehead spoke in human language. "Later on, if there are no major problems, I'll return this body to its original owner."
Emperor Song looked at him. "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to use this body to explore Chang 'an City in the Flameyellow World?"
If the Blood Qilin Demon Lord was willing to volunteer himself and not continue to hide behind carefully, Emperor Song would welcome him.
However, the other party did not come with his true body. He was only using this Demonic Dao avatar that he temporarily occupied. His cultivation was only at the 15th realm. If he wanted to explore Chang 'an City, it would be rather inadequate.
"Let's first confirm the current situation of Ananda Bodhisattva and the others before making any other plans," said the blood-eyed black qilin.
The Thousand Tree Buddha asked, "Fellow Daoist, you said that the danger is outside and not inside. Are you referring to Fellow Daoist Ye of the Southeastern Yang Heaven's Equal Dynasty?"
The blood-eyed black qilin said, "No one knows if they've communicated privately or what the truth was back then. It's not impossible for them to pretend to be enemies and lure the real enemy into a trap. Otherwise, why would the City Lord of Chang 'an ignore the Heavenly Lake Academy's invitation and eliminate the traitors first? Moreover … "
After a slight pause, he continued, "… Moreover, I heard that there's at least one of the so-called Twelve Kings of Hell. They're Guanming Tonghui, Ye Qingpeng, and Li Shulou. Don't underestimate the remaining one. If he's already hidden in Chang 'an City …"
He did not continue speaking.
However, assuming that Ye Qingpeng and this person were both in Chang 'an, and their strength was similar, coupled with the mysterious City Lord of Chang' an, even if they did not consider the City Lord of Chang 'an to be too powerful, it was enough to threaten the Thousand Tree Buddha, a 17th realm Buddha.
"I'm grateful that you're willing to make the trip." Emperor Song nodded.
Doppelgangers, avatars, and other abilities were not the forte of martial arts or Buddhism.
However, for a great demon of the 17th realm, it was a piece of cake.
Given the right conditions and enough time, it was not impossible for them to corrode and refine a 16th realm expert into their avatars.
However, Emperor Song changed the topic and said, "However, your avatar's cultivation is still too low. It might be deceived by the enemy's illusions."
The blood-eyed black qilin fell silent for a while before replying, "I've recently cultivated a mystique. My true body and avatar have the ability to split souls and be affected. It's not just illusions. If other mystiques affect my avatar, my true body will be able to sense it. Unless the enemy captures my true body as well."
He was a great demon of the 17th realm. How could it be easy to capture his true body?
Emperor Song and the Thousand Tree Buddha nodded slightly.
The Blood Qilin Demon Lord, who had always kept a low profile in front of them, had finally revealed some of his abilities today.
"If that's the case, I'll have to trouble you." Emperor Song, Zhao Kuangming, nodded.
The young man with the blood-eyed black qilin on his forehead nodded at Emperor Song and the Thousand Tree Buddha before disappearing into the void and heading towards the Yan Huang World.
…
In the void far away from the Invincible City in the Yan Huang World, Zhang Dongyun's true body had arrived personally. He had finally succeeded in building the last satellite city.
Following that, a system notification rang in his mind.
[The City Lord has successfully built the first batch of eight satellite cities. The conditions for expansion have been met. Do you wish to expand immediately?]
Of course …
Yes.
Zhang Dongyun ordered.
