Qiongqi's voice shattered the Fire Lotus Sect's protective formation.

The Fire Lotus Sect Master and the Tiger-Taming Arhat, who were plotting in the dark room, were instantly shaken.

"They heard us after all. I have to get out of here right now!"

"The Arhat who subdues tigers said in a trembling voice."

Although he was renowned throughout the heavens and myriad realms for his bravery, fierceness, and decisiveness, he always felt that if he didn't leave when facing Qiongqi, he would die here today.

The Arhat who subdued the tiger didn't know that Qiongqi was Qiongqi, but he was inexplicably afraid of it.

After a moment of astonishment, the Fire Lotus Sect Master calmed down.

He waved his hand, signaling the Tiger-Taming Arhat not to panic.

"This is the Fire Lotus Sect, and we possess the Nirvana Fire Lotus. We have no fear of True Immortals!"

"I'll go and have a look at them!"

After saying this, the Fire Lotus Sect Master disappeared and reappeared in front of Qiongqi.

He held a lotus-shaped flame in his hand, which was the Nirvana Fire Lotus.

It exudes a heart-stopping fire energy.

The sect leader looked at Ling Yun and his group and said coldly:

"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Fire Lotus Sect and shattered my Fire Lotus Sect's protective formation?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the Tiger-Taming Arhat!"

Qiongqi shouted angrily.

The Arhat Subduing Tiger is born to suppress the tiger clan. If he is not eliminated, Qiongqi will have a hard time becoming an Immortal Emperor in this lifetime.

After all, those who become emperors bring their lineage to its peak. If there is a suppressor, it is equivalent to blocking the path.

For Qiongqi, killing the Tiger-Taming Arhat was essential.

For the Arhat who subdues tigers, defeating all the tiger clans in the world would allow him to reach the pinnacle of his path.

Qiongqi had ambushed the Tiger-Taming Arhat many times, but most of the time, the Tiger-Taming Arhat was in the main world of the Buddha universe, and Qiongqi could not defeat the Buddha, so he could only wait for the Tiger-Taming Arhat to be alone.

I never expected to run into the Tiger-Taming Arhat in Tangyu today.

Although Qiongqi looked fierce at this moment, he was secretly overjoyed.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader calmly replied:

"Fellow Daoist, you have come to the wrong place. My Fire Lotus Sect does not have any Arhats who subdue tigers."

"Our Tang Dynasty has always been sworn enemies with Buddhism, how could we possibly have any dealings with the Tiger-Taming Arhat!"

"Stop pretending!" Qiongqi roared.

He has sealed off this place; the Arhat Subduing Tiger cannot escape.

"Since you remain stubbornly unrepentant, do not blame this sect master for being ruthless!"

The Fire Lotus Sect Master's expression turned cold, and the Nirvana Fire Lotus in his hand suddenly swelled up, rushing directly towards Qiongqi.

At the same time, countless powerful figures from the Fire Lotus Sect joined forces to deliver a fatal blow to Qiongqi.

A group of cultivators, whose strongest were no more than Great Emperors, dared to dream of killing Qiongqi with the Nirvana Fire Lotus—it was utterly delusional.

The next moment!

"Roar~"

Qiongqi let out a deafening roar.

In an instant, the Nirvana Fire Lotus was blasted into flickering light.

At the same time, the powerful figures of the Fire Lotus Sect exploded, their bodies and souls annihilated.

Only a half-crippled sect leader remained.

"You...you are Lord Qiongqi?"

The Fire Lotus Sect Master panicked. Only Qiongqi, one of the Four Fiends of Shangguan, could possess such a powerful tiger.

"die!"

Qiongqi slapped him across the face.

The next moment!

The Fire Lotus Sect Master crushed a jade pendant and roared:

"Calling Ancestors~"

boom!

On the outer plaza of the Fire Lotus Sect, a towering male statue suddenly exploded.

A middle-aged man with an imposing presence and extraordinary martial prowess appeared in the room.

He was surrounded by terrifying flames, his eyes were deep like a galaxy, and he stood on chaotic energy.

The moment he appeared, the Great Dao manifested a tangible form, surrounding him, and the chains of order transformed into a fiery lotus, ready to be used by him.

He was the founding patriarch of the Fire Lotus Sect.

After becoming a True Immortal, the founder of the Fire Lotus Sect left the Tang Domain and went to a higher-level world to seek immortality and enlightenment.

Upon seeing the patriarch, the Fire Lotus Sect Master's fear vanished instantly.

In his eyes, the patriarch's power was far greater than Qiongqi's, enough to kill Qiongqi and the people behind him.

"Master, you must wipe out these people!"

The patriarch nodded slightly, looked at Qiongqi, and asked in a cold voice:

"You all..."

Snap!

Qiongqi slapped the ancestor's divided soul into a false one.

The Great Sage, standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh:

"Brother Qiongqi, you should at least let our ancestor put on a show! Such a grand entrance, and you shattered it after he only uttered two words!"

Qiongqi sneered:

"I hate people like this who have no real skills but put on a big show!"

At this moment, the Fire Lotus Sect Master was terrified. The powerful ancestor couldn't even withstand a single slap.

He slowly closed his eyes, awaiting death.

Just then, countless powerful auras appeared all around.

They were all powerful figures from various sects in the Tang Domain.

The major sects in the Tang region have always maintained harmonious relations and rarely have conflicts.

When danger arises, other sects usually come to mediate or provide assistance.

A sect leader looked at Ling Yun and his group and questioned them:

"Fellow Daoists, what has the Fire Lotus Sect done to offend you all that you must be so determined to exterminate them all!"

Another person spoke up:

"One should be lenient when possible. The Fire Lotus Sect has always had an excellent reputation. If a few disciples have offended you, let the sect leader apologize and offer some treasures as compensation. Why destroy another sect?"

As they spoke, these sect leaders all released their auras, locking onto Ling Yun and his group.

Seeing this, Qiongqi's face darkened, and he prepared to raise his hand to send these guys into reincarnation, but Lingyun stopped him.

Ling Yun looked at the assembled powerful figures and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoists, the Fire Lotus Sect has already pledged allegiance to Buddhism, and the Tiger-Taming Arhat is now in the Fire Lotus Sect."

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures all showed expressions of anger.

Countless years ago, in order to spread their teachings in the Tang Region, the Buddhists promised countless benefits to the cultivation world of the Tang Region.

As a result, after Buddhism entered the Tang Domain, it not only did not bring any benefits, but also forced the cultivation world of the Tang Domain to believe in the Buddha.

After being rejected by the cultivation world of Tangyu, the Buddhists began a brutal massacre.

Later, the cultivation world of Tangyu paid a heavy price to drive the Buddhists out of Tangyu.

Therefore, Tangyu and Buddhism have an irreconcilable feud, and the Fire Lotus Sect actually colluded with Buddhism.

"The Fire Lotus Sect deserves to be destroyed!"

A powerful figure roared in anger and slapped the Fire Lotus Sect Master to death.

The next moment!

With a roar, Qiongqi caused a dark room to explode, revealing the true form of the Tiger-Taming Arhat, who floated uncontrollably in the void.

Upon seeing the Arhat Subduing Tiger, a warrior monk in a black and gold robe, the powerful figures of the Tang Dynasty were all enraged.

They all raised their hands, ready to smash the Tiger-Taming Arhat into mincemeat.

"roll!"

Qiongqi roared, causing the powerful beings to retreat in fear.

"The Tiger-Taming Arhat must die at my hands!"

"Roar~"

Qiongqi opened its mouth and swallowed the Tiger-Taming Arhat whole.

Almost instantly, Qiongqi felt a path leading to the summit appear before him.

His path was now unobstructed!

At the same time, a group of powerful figures took action and killed all the remaining disciples, elders, and secluded ancestors of the Fire Lotus Sect.

After doing all this, the powerful beings showed no intention of leaving.

Their eyes burned with desire as they stared at the Nirvana Fire Lotus floating in the void.

This is one of the ten sacred flames, and they could not resist its allure.

"Hmm?" Qiongqi coldly swept his gaze around, instantly causing the hairs on the heads of the powerful figures to stand on end as if they were falling into an abyss.

"Get out of here right now, or you'll end up like the Tiger-Taming Arhat!"
