Chapter 1116 - 685: Great Joyous Buddha! (4K)
“You can’t kill me! Otherwise, you’ll be in big trouble!”
Wuxiang Venerable was being brutally beaten by Dugu Aotian and cried out repeatedly.
If he didn’t beg for mercy, he would be beaten to death by Dugu Aotian.
The once high-and-mighty Venerable was being mercilessly thrashed by a stranger with Demonic Cultivation Skills, utterly losing face.
“If you confess your identity to the people of Baihe Country, I might spare your life.”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Wuxiang Venerable couldn’t care about his dignity; compared to his life, dignity was nothing.
Dugu Aotian stopped, and Wuxiang Venerable had no choice but to speak under Dugu Aotian’s supervision, “That’s right, I am the South Heaven Tyrant who was wanted by Changliu Holy Land three million years ago.”
Wow.
The followers of Baihe Country were in an uproar.
The venerable they had exhausted their wealth to worship turned out to be the great thief South Heaven Tyrant.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Some followers were driven to madness, nearly collapsing.
“Confess all your evil deeds over the years, otherwise I won’t let you go.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Those virgin boys and girls are materials for cultivation, and the donated treasures would be divided among us, with a large portion being tribute… I’m merely a cultivator of the Immortal Emperor Realm, how could I possibly help mortals reincarnate into good lives?”
Wuxiang Venerable had no choice but to reveal the truth.
“He deceived us!”
“Kill him!”
Some of the awakening followers were furious.
They had given up all their possessions, burning incense day and night for future blessings, only to realize it was all a grand scam.
“Get out.”
After Wuxiang Venerable’s confession, Dugu Aotian allowed him to leave.
“Thank you.”
Wuxiang Venerable barely escaped with his life, turning into a golden light and fleeing Baihe Country.
“Aotian, why didn’t you kill him?”
Liu Yiyi was puzzled.
This wasn’t typical of Dugu Aotian.
“The reason he was wanted by Changliu Holy Land and dared to act wantonly in Baihe Country is likely because he has backing. In other words, he is not the true mastermind. I let him go to follow the trail. After such calamity, he’ll seek refuge with his backer for survival. We’ll follow him.”
“I see.”
“But before leaving, these people must die.”
Dugu Aotian drew the Ancient Demon Soldier “Yuan Tu”.
The Ancient Demon Soldier drew black lines, leaving a rift on the neck of the Joyous Pure Land’s protectors and envoys, causing heads to roll.
Their blood and vitality were absorbed by the demon soldiers and Dugu Aotian.
The followers retreated in fear, faces pale.
Subsequently, Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi secretly followed Wuxiang Venerable, continuing to investigate the true mastermind, leaving the terrified people behind.
“The direction in which Wuxiang Venerable fled seems to be towards the territory of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.”
Liu Yiyi recognized where Wuxiang Venerable was heading.
“I heard from my master long ago that Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is a collection of filth, secretly engaging in disgraceful acts, its reputation far inferior to Mount Sumeru and other Buddhist Holy Lands. But as long as Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple doesn’t act out openly, other Holy Lands won’t interfere.”
Dugu Aotian looked serious.
Following the investigation of Joyous Pure Land, it unexpectedly led to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Coincidentally, Lu Changsheng had a grudge with Grand Freedom Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
“Shall we continue the investigation?”
“If the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is the mastermind, once we find evidence in Baihe Country, even if we act against one or two Buddhas from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, they wouldn’t dare to retaliate.”
Dugu Aotian was determined.
Baihe Country had become a purgatory, and killing the mastermind was justified no matter what.
“Hmm.”
Liu Yiyi followed Dugu Aotian, continuing to track Wuxiang Venerable.
Wuxiang Venerable didn’t head straight to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple; there, countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats were present. If Wuxiang Venerable went there, Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi would have no choice but to give up.
Dugu Aotian, as the son of the Demon Marshal, providing just cause, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple could kill him.
Demon Venerable Wu Xiang fled towards a Spirit Mountain within Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple territory.
“This should be Yejia Mountain, the domain of Great Joyous Buddha.”
Liu Yiyi, as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, was knowledgeable about the Immortal Realm’s mountains and Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.
Each Buddha within Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple had their own domain, and Yejia Mountain was the territory of Great Joyous Buddha.
Thus, the situation became clear—Great Joyous Buddha was the backing of South Heaven Tyrant, who in Baihe Country collected treasures and virgin boys and girls to mostly offer to Yejia Mountain.
“Aotian, this Great Joyous Buddha is not to be underestimated. This is his domain; he has many disciples. If we break in, we might not be his match.”
Liu Yiyi had great apprehension towards Great Joyous Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Some Buddhas of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple were even stronger than Lu Changsheng or Liu Mufeng, and the two of them together might not be opponents of Great Joyous Buddha.
“If only I had enough cultivation power, I would surely sweep through Yejia Mountain.”
Dugu Aotian shook his head, knowing well not to suffer in vain and could only temporarily give up investigating Baihe Country’s matters.
However, giving up the investigation this time meant that Great Joyous Buddha would kill South Heaven Tyrant and erase all traces, leaving no reason for action in the future.
“The deeds of Yejia Mountain, with so many intricate details, will surely leave flaws in the future.”
Liu Yiyi could only comfort Dugu Aotian.
The two left Yejia Mountain and rested at an abandoned ancient temple along the way.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended, causing the two meditating individuals to immediately open their eyes.
“Hahaha, don’t think I don’t know you deliberately let me go to follow the trail! As the South Heaven Tyrant, I escaped Changliu Holy Land’s pursuit not by cultivation level but by intelligence!”
