Cao Ya said in a rather light and cheerful tone:

"Junior brother has avenged his great enemy, removed his inner demons, and has hope of attaining the Dharma body."

Xuanbei gave a bitter smile:

"The 'Maha Subduing Demon Fist' is missing a crucial part of the scripture, so how can it be called a Dharma body? If I could reach the peak of the Outer Realm like my senior brother, I would be completely satisfied."

Indeed, the deep hatred of losing his family and loved ones lingered in his heart, almost becoming a demon in his mind.

Now that the old man who cried has been killed, the inner demons will be instantly removed.

If he truly possessed the key text of the "Mahayana Subduing Demon Fist," Xuanbei dared not claim to have achieved the Dharmakaya, but he estimated he had a 50-60% chance of reaching the Nine Heavens of Outer Realm or half a step into the Dharmakaya.

"Hmm, I wonder how my two disciples are doing now?" Xuan Bei asked with a hint of worry.

When the Crying Old Man attacked, realizing he couldn't take care of his two disciples, he sent them down the mountain back to Liusha Village. That was their only chance of survival; otherwise, if they stayed where they were, the aftershocks of the battle outside would be enough to wipe them out.

But the old man who cried was not alone; he had a powerful faction under his command, as well as disciples and followers.

Meng Qi encountered An Guoxie, the grand-disciple of the Crying Old Man and known as the "White-Headed Vulture," and was captured, his whereabouts unknown.

Cao Ya smiled. He really wanted to say that there was no need to worry about it, Meng Qi and Zhen Hui would definitely not die.

They returned to Liusha Village but did not go inside. They sent a telepathic message to Qu Jiuniang, who brought Zhenhui out.

Meng Qi disappeared, apparently captured by the old man's disciple's grand-disciple.

Xuan Bei was worried, but Cao Ya didn't feel anything; Meng Qi was definitely not going to die.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if everyone else in the world were gone, Meng Qi would still be alive and well.

Many people on the other side of the strait are concerned: how could Meng Qi possibly be dead?

Cao Ya glanced at Zhen Hui casually.

Zhenhui is a wisp of Yang Jian's spirit reincarnated, and she came specifically for Meng Qi.

Yang Jian, the most powerful disciple of the second and third generations of the Chan Sect in the world of "The Supreme Being," was considered one of the most promising people of that generation to achieve the other shore, along with Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Among the disciples of the three religions, Yang Jian is the most powerful.

However, Zhen Hui had not yet awakened at this time, and Yang Jian also concealed his identity, hiding in the Nine Netherworlds, waiting for the situation to change.

Therefore, Cao Yacai always felt immense pressure.

The constant references to pawns of powerful figures, beacons, fish, other self, reincarnations, etc., can be suffocating for anyone.

It would be fine if they didn't know, but Cao Ya seems to know everything.

He also had to keep a low profile as much as possible, pretending not to hear about key matters, but he could still get involved in some less important areas.

In short, it's incredibly frustrating.

Especially compared to himself from the worlds of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", "Dragon Raja", "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles", and "Detective Conan", and even Cao Ya from the "Naruto" world, Cao Ya of "Peerless One" is truly incredibly frustrated.

Cao Ya from the worlds of "Global Martial Arts" and "Mysterious Resurgence" is quite similar to Cao Ya from "Peerless Supreme".

But it wasn't suppressed to this extent.

After all, the upper limit of strength isn't that high.

brush!

Cao Ya set up a golden light shield to isolate the inside from the outside.

Xuanbei and Zhenhui, the two junior brothers, were taken aback, not understanding what their senior brother Xuanjie (uncle Xuanjie) was doing.

Qu Jiuniang, however, was wary, after all, she had just had a conversation with Cao Ya.

She just didn't expect that Cao Ya, after going out, joined forces with Xuan Bei and actually killed the Crying Old Man.

At this moment, she felt a sense of unreality, as if she were in a daze.

When did the martial arts experts on the Earth Ranking become so vulnerable?

She was only jolted awake and became secretly alert when Cao Ya set up the formation.

What message will Xuanjie deliver? And to whom will it be delivered?

Why didn't he deliver it himself?

Are you scared?

"Well, I can just refuse."

Qu Jiuniang suddenly felt worried again. The Xuanjie was so powerful. If I refused, would it get angry and secretly target me?

Cao Ya was unaware that several thoughts were racing through Qu Jiuniang's mind at once. He softly chanted a Buddhist prayer and said:

"Benefactor, please deliver a message to your leader that the abbot of Shaolin is trapped. The current abbot of Shaolin is your greatest enemy."

This statement is completely incoherent; even Xuanbei, who knows nothing about this, would be baffled.

But Qu Jiuniang's expression changed instantly. She stared at Cao Ya, her heart filled with turmoil.

He knows who I am?!

Who exactly is he? Is he also a reincarnator?

Wait!

Qu Jiuniang suddenly rubbed her temples, reorganized her thoughts, and began to ponder the deeper meaning of Xuan Jie's words.

Xuanjie said that Abbot Kongwen of Shaolin Temple is imprisoned, and the current abbot is our greatest nemesis... Our nemesis is "Myth," and the greatest nemesis is, of course, the leader of "Myth," the Heavenly Emperor. Could it be that Abbot Kongwen was defeated and imprisoned by the Heavenly Emperor, and then Xuanjie took over Abbot Kongwen's identity and took control of Shaolin Temple?!

Hiss~~~~

Qu Jiuniang gasped, staring at Xuan Jie with astonishment, only to see him nod solemnly.

Xuanjie wouldn't lie about something like this.

The Mythical Heavenly Emperor...

Qu Jiuniang felt heavy-hearted. He was an extremely terrifying figure. Even their leader, Lingbao Tianzun—Chonghe Daoren—had to treat him as a formidable enemy and had no confidence in victory.

She didn't ask Xuan Jie's true identity, nor did she ask him how he learned the secret of the current abbot of Shaolin.

If Xuanjie is willing to tell, there's no need for her to ask; if he's unwilling to tell, asking won't help.

Moreover, she couldn't possibly force Xuan Jie.

Xuan Jie is far more powerful than her.

"Hmm." Qu Jiuniang quickly flew back to Liusha Village, her mind preoccupied the whole way, and went to inform Chonghe Daoist as fast as she could.

The abbot of Shaolin Temple was impersonated by the "mythical" Heavenly Emperor. This is a shocking secret, and if it were revealed, it would terrify countless people.

Xuan Bei stared intently, carefully analyzing Qu Jiu Niang's expression, and came to a chilling conclusion.

He couldn't quite believe it from the bottom of his heart.

“Let’s pretend we don’t know about this for now. What use would it be if we knew, since we don’t have the Dharma Body?” Cao Ya looked at Xuan Bei.

Xuan Bei fell silent for a moment. Indeed, even Abbot Kong Wen, who was at the Dharma Body Realm, was no match for him and was imprisoned. What use would it be for them to reveal the identity of that Heavenly Emperor?

This is, after all, a world where strength reigns supreme.

Telling Qu Jiuniang and informing Chonghe Daoren is just a precaution, to keep a close eye on the mythical "Heavenly Emperor" and the demon master Han Guang, so that we can deliver a fatal blow to him at a critical moment.

In any case, Cao Ya has no plans to return to Shaolin.

Unless one day attains the Dharmakaya!

He didn't want to see anything happen to Shaolin. Thanks to a Shaolin monk, he was able to survive as an infant and grow up healthy, even practicing martial arts and achieving his current level of skill.

The demon master Han Guang impersonated someone else, becoming the abbot of Shaolin Temple despite being an unparalleled and ruthless demon.

This is trampling on the dignity of Shaolin Temple!

In the future, he will throw a punch at the demon master Han Guang and avenge the loss of face for Shaolin Temple.

But not now.

He is not yet the Dharmakaya.

Cao Ya and Xuan Bei parted ways, and Cao Ya left alone.

Xuanbei, along with his disciple Zhenhui, prepared to stay in the Sea of ​​Death in search of another disciple—Mengqi.

Cao Ya traveled the world, living a nomadic life, occasionally appearing in the shadows, but his whereabouts were rarely seen.

However, his and Xuan Bei's names did appear on the Earthly Ranking, causing quite a stir.

But that's all irrelevant to Cao Ya now.

The Earth Ranking is nothing compared to the Heaven Ranking!
