Shi Chan paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Liang Yihan, who was firmly bound, and asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Liang?"

Liang Yihan looked up at Shi Chan and said with a faint smile, "Hello, little Master Shi Chan."

Shi Chan looked at the Binding God Rope that bound Liang Yihan tightly, his face showing hesitation. Logically speaking, Liang Yihan had saved his life before, and even if it was just to repay this karmic debt, he should save Liang Yihan. However, thinking back to what Shi Ning had said earlier, he felt that Liang Yihan's scheming against Buddhism was really going too far.

Liang Yihan, being exceptionally intelligent, naturally understood the hesitation on Shi Chan's face. He smiled faintly and said leisurely, "Today, this Miss Liuli arrested me, Liang Yihan, to further intensify the conflict between our Buddhist and Taoist traditions. She arrested these disciples of your Buddhist sect to create the illusion that my death was caused by Buddhist disciples..."

After a pause, he shook his head and sighed, "My death, Liang Yihan's alone, is insignificant. But if my death intensifies the conflict between the two righteous factions and allows the demons to reap the benefits, I will be truly uneasy!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Chan's expression changed slightly. He remained silent for a moment, then looked at Liu Li apologetically and said, "If that's the case, then this humble monk has no choice but to stop you, young lady. Please, young lady, stop."

"Hmph!" Liuli snorted coldly and said in a chilling voice, "Long Mu, bring those monks here to me. As for the remaining divine beasts, attack them and kill Monk Shichan!"

"Yes!" the youths responded in unison. More than three hundred youths rushed over and surrounded Shi Chan, while Long Mu and a dozen other dragons grabbed the several monks who were filled with shock and anger and brought them to Liu Li.

Liuli ignored the battle at Shichan's place and instead looked at the young monks, asking calmly, "Which sect do you belong to?"

Of the eight monks, seven had reached varying degrees of the Relic Realm, while the remaining one was at the early stage of the Buddha Heart Realm. They were all injured and their hands were bound behind their backs with demonic ropes specially made by the demon race.

The eight monks looked at each other for a long time before the one with the Buddhist mind realm replied with an unfriendly expression, "Listen, you wicked fox, we are disciples of the Bodhi Temple!"

Liuli gestured with her chin towards Liang Yihan and asked with a wicked smile, "This Liang Yihan helped me secretly plant the Demon Ant Gu in your Bodhi Temple, which is why I was able to easily kill so many of you. You must hate him a lot, right?"

The eight monks did not answer, all looking at Liuli with wary expressions.

Liuli tilted her head and continued with a wicked smile: "Today, I, Liuli, have taken pity on you and captured your Bodhi Temple's greatest enemy. Now I'm giving you a perfect opportunity to kill Liang Yihan to avenge the disciples of your Bodhi Temple who died tragically. How about it?"

The monk, who had reached the level of Buddhist enlightenment, looked at Liuli warily. His face was full of anger, and he said in a cold voice, "You vile fox, do you really have such a kind heart? Liang Yihan is our enemy, that's true, but you are the culprit who has caused unrest in our Buddhist community! We have unfortunately fallen into your hands. You may kill us or torture us as you please, but we will never obey your orders!"

Liuli smiled coldly, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the eight monks one by one, and said with a sneer, "Is there anyone among you who wants to live? Whoever it is, as long as you kill Liang Yihan, I will let you go immediately."

The eight monks exchanged glances, nodded firmly, then glared angrily at Liuli, remaining silent.

"Heh, you've got guts." Liu Li raised her eyes to look at Long Mu and the other dragons, and said calmly, "Long Mu, then you'll have to do a bit more work. Find these monks' weapons, grab their hands, and activate their Buddhist power so that each of them can injure Liang Yihan a few times. But don't kill him yet; his fatal wounds..."

Liuli turned to look at Shichan, who was being attacked by a group of dragon youths, and sneered, "Let the Buddhist artifacts on the body of the former disciple of the Great Ming Zen Master of Bodhi Temple inflict the fatal wound on Liang Yihan."

Long Mu looked at Liu Li with some confusion and asked in bewilderment, "Miss, why go through all this trouble? If you want to kill Liang Yihan, why not just kill him directly?"

Liuli's gaze turned cold, and she said in a chilling voice, "Stop talking nonsense and do as I say!"

“…Yes.” Long Mu hesitated before replying, then said to the dragons who were each holding a monk, “Do as Miss Liuli instructs!”

"Yes!" the dragons responded in unison, shoving the monks they were holding and searching their bodies for weapons. After a short while, they found them one after another.

Liuli gave Liang Yihan a cold smile, waved her hand to retrieve the Binding God Rope from his body, and said with a smile, "Now, Young Master Liang, you can enjoy yourself."

She retreated with a wicked smile, letting the several dragons grab the eight monks who were shouting angrily and surround the already exhausted Liang Yihan.
