Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 30 The Coming of the Great Buddha

"Don't get close, that is the Sacred Lotus of Qiling, capable of devouring all living beings, even you are no match for it!"

The voice of the goatee-bearded cultivator drifted over, warning Su Yie.

Although he disliked Su Yie, the Sovereign of Great Wei had ordered that Su Yie be brought back to the Great Wei to serve the kingdom.

Su Yie paid no attention and leaped down directly.

He threw a punch at the Sacred Lotus of Qiling's limb, with his other hand he grabbed Nan Xiaopao by the waist, attempting to pull her out. However, the Sacred Lotus of Qiling held on tightly, and he feared injuring Nan Xiaopao, so he dared not use too much force.

"Su Yie, don't mind me."

Nan Xiaopao woke up and, seeing the anxious expression on Su Yie's face, felt a sweetness in her heart and quickly spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Yie got angry and immediately took out the Zhou Wu Sword, ready to cut through the Sacred Lotus of Qiling.

"Damn it, the Sacred Lotus of Qiling! Kid, don't be impulsive!"

Sword Soul Fenglong shouted in Su Yie's mind. The Zhou Wu Sword trembled, not wanting Su Yie to use it against the Sacred Lotus of Qiling.

Su Yie became furious, cursing in his heart: "Aren't you usually full of pride? You're even afraid to chop this damn lotus?"

"I... this is not an ordinary lotus, chopping it will bring endless misfortune!"

Feng Long said in frustration, how could this foolish youngster be so impulsive?

Su Yie instantly put the Zhou Wu Sword back into the Repository of the Dao, grabbed the Sacred Lotus of Qiling's petal with his left hand, and prepared to tear it apart with his hands.

"Don't! Su Yie, stop, it won't hurt me!"

Nan Xiaopao hurriedly tried to stop him, her words halting Su Yie's action.

"What are you blabbering about?"

Su Yie rebuked, thinking the girl was bewitched.

Nan Xiaopao's eyes cleared, speaking earnestly: "These days, it has been calling out to me, saying that I am some sort of Sacred Body of Qiling, and now it wants to help me awaken the Sacred Body of Qiling."

The Sacred Body of Qiling?

Su Yie looked puzzled, speaking gravely: "Big sister, we're both Earthlings, don't you know whether or not you're a Sacred Body of Qiling?"

At that, Nan Xiaopao's face flushed with anger, and she huffed: "What if there's some mighty deity among my ancestors?"

Su Yie thought, maybe she had a point, after all, they had come to the Ancient Wilderness.

Even he had been possessed by the Dao, establishing Emperor Su's Sect, and now he had even fallen into the Demon Path.

Nothing could be considered too far-fetched anymore!

"Trust me, do you think I'm being foolish right now?"

Nan Xiaopao fixed her gaze on Su Yie and spoke seriously: "I don't want to keep being protected by you, I want to protect you too."

He leapt up from the rolling dust, landing on the rooftop of a distant market, wiped his face clean, and his gaze stayed fixed on the direction where Nan Xiaopao was.

At that moment, the entire block was submerged in dust, and the tendrils of the Sacred Lotus of Qiling writhed like serpents in the river, a spectacular sight.

The initial display of the power of the Sacred Lotus of Qiling was enough to chill people to the bone!

The Four Elders of Great Wei noticed the state of Su Yie's body and all let out a sigh of relief; it seems Su Yie was not the Sacred Body of Qiling.

A helicopter flew in with reporters broadcasting the crisis in the eastern district to the entire city.

It must be said that human adaptability was indeed strong.

Xiwan City had already stabilized, and while the citizens continued their cultivation, they didn't abandon technology.

Communications and city defenses were designated as key construction targets by Tan Quanming, with the former unifying the city's people and the latter protecting them, both not to be neglected.

And so, the live broadcast of the tendrils of the Sacred Lotus of Qiling caused a stir throughout the city.

"My god! What is that?"

"Are those tendrils? Or snakes?"

"What the hell is hidden beneath the earth?"

"Why are there things in the city too? Damn it! Can't a person live in peace anymore?"

The citizens were abuzz with discussion, all very tense.

But compared to before, they were just tense and not panicked.

Because most of the citizens had grown stronger, officially embarking on the path of cultivation.

Whiz——

A sound of something tearing through the sky came, as if carrying the sound of wind and thunder.

The Four Elders of Great Wei, Wux Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and others turned their heads to look, only to see a golden rainbow streaking across the sky.

"That is..."

The goat-bearded cultivator's complexion turned extremely sour, his eyes revealing a deep sense of wariness.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a monk in a kasaya surrounded by golden light, standing on a Golden Plate with a resolute face and an aura of righteousness.

"Western Buddha Dynasty, Kuang Chu'e!"

The female cultivator among the Four Elders of Great Wei clenched her teeth, the name adding immensely to their pressure.

Wux Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and others who were not privy to Kuang Chu'e's circle, although not recognizing him, could feel the powerful aura of Kuang Chu'e and his distinctive appearance made it easy to determine his identity.

"A person from the Western Buddha Dynasty!"

In the Western Buddha Dynasty, everyone, including the royal family, practiced Buddhism. Kuang Chu'e was a scion of the royal family, a younger brother of the reigning monarch of the Western Buddha Dynasty.

It's worth mentioning that among the Seven Dynasties, the one that hated demons the most was the Western Buddha Dynasty!
