At this moment, even Qiao Suinian's eyes flashed with disbelief.

He was able to resist the terrifying power of salvation within the meditation room because he had lived two lives, and his spiritual world was incredibly strong; he could even resist the illusions of succubi.

But the guy in front of me, who was also wearing a mask, was different. He was able to resist the power of salvation because he was an extremely proud and absolute egoist who didn't believe in ghosts, gods, or people.

In other words, in this world, he only believes in himself and is convinced of his own worth.

Such a person, once they become an enemy, can absolutely cause sleepless nights and uneasy days.

"Seeing through emptiness? A mere child spouting nonsense. The masses are truly ignorant and foolish, unable to comprehend the true scriptures, let alone understand the profound mysteries of Buddhism."

"All things arise and cease according to their causes; flowers bloom and wither, returning to dust."

The old monk sighed softly, closed his eyes, and the lotus seat beneath his feet instantly bloomed. The golden petals of the lotus flowers fell one by one into the void, as if each world was heading towards its end of destruction.

Every time a petal falls from the golden lotus, a new golden petal immediately forms on the base. As the lotus blooms, it is as if one can see one new world after another being born.

Between the blooming and withering of these golden lotus flowers, everyone could clearly see with their naked eyes the process of a world going from destruction to rebirth. It seemed that this process was a perpetual cycle, endless and never-ending.

A single thought can give rise to a cause, and a single thought can extinguish that cause.

Pang Hongxin and his men were completely captivated by the transformation of the lotus, their faces filled with fascination.

This time, even Ye Difeng's eyes couldn't help but change.

This power of salvation is too strong; it wants to erase his original consciousness and forcibly convert him into Buddhism.

"Brother Junfeng, why aren't you making a move!" Ye Difeng shouted in a low voice, he was about to be unable to resist this terrifying power of salvation.

Qiao Suinian knew he couldn't watch the show any longer, so he immediately shouted.

"Master, you say that all is emptiness, yet you keep your eyes tightly shut. If you open your eyes and look at me, I won't believe that your eyes are empty."

"This old monk has long since severed all worldly desires, so why should I be afraid to look at you, benefactor?"

Upon hearing this, the old monk opened his eyes and calmly looked directly at Qiao Suinian, his gaze filled with devout faith.

The instant he met the old monk's gaze, Qiao Suinian immediately activated the Illusionary Nightmare Mirror. His dark eyes seemed to transform into two black holes, directly sucking the old monk's mind into them.

The old monk thought Qiao Suinian wanted to discuss Taoism and Buddhism with him, but he didn't expect that Qiao Suinian only wanted to plot against him.

Under the influence of the Mirage Mirror, the old monk instantly became dazed, and all the strange phenomena around him returned to normal.

Ye Difeng immediately seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and then plunged the dagger in his hand into the old monk's neck, the tip of the dagger protruding from the other side of the old monk's neck.

The intense pain caused the old monk's eyes to widen instantly, freeing him from Qiao Suinian's illusionary mirage.

"How can this sacred Buddhist site be stained with blood! You two are both heinous criminals and deserve to be cast into the deepest hell!"

The old monk's eyes widened, and he clutched his neck tightly, his eyes filled with rage.

His anger wasn't because Qiao Suinian and Ye Difeng had injured him, but because his blood had dripped onto the floor of the meditation room, which he saw as a desecration of Buddha.

The old monk released his grip and pulled the dagger directly from his neck.

Qiao Suinian's expression was somewhat solemn. Although he didn't know what this old monk was, he was certain that it wasn't human.

A normal person would have lost the strength to resist such injuries, but it had no effect on this old monk at all.

"The Bodhisattva lowers his brows, the Vajra glares fiercely!"

The old monk let out a low shout, and his originally kind and gentle face began to turn ferocious, with a long tongue, a strange mouth, and bloodshot eyes, making him look so eerie that it sent chills down one's spine. His monk's robes also began to turn black.

At the same time, a terrifying and malevolent aura, as vast as a boundless ocean, spread out, causing immense horror.

Such terrifying malevolence suggests that the old monk before them was less a highly virtuous monk and more a ferocious demon from the deepest hell.

Thick, impenetrable fog began to rise around Tianyun Temple. This fog was incredibly eerie, blood-red in color, and dark shadows could be vaguely seen flashing through it. Evil spirits shrieked, enveloping the entire Tianyun Temple.

At this moment, Tianyun Temple seemed like a corner of hell fallen to earth.

Under the shroud of blood mist, the monks, who had originally had kind faces, all stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with ferocity, sending chills down one's spine.

Including Pang Hongxin and Gan Er, who had just been converted, all stared wide-eyed at Qiao Suinian and Ye Difeng.

"Those who do not respect the Buddha will fall into Avici Hell!"

"Those who do not respect the Buddha will fall into Avici Hell!"

"Those who do not respect the Buddha will fall into Avici Hell!"

The people who had been converted by the old monk kept repeating this phrase as they surrounded Qiao Suinian and Ye Difeng with ferocious expressions.

Qiao Suinian had already grasped the Haoye Dragon Staff in his hand. When one of them approached, Qiao Suinian did not hesitate to smash the other's head with the staff, and red and white bloodstains fell to the ground.

[Notification: Human has been killed; the power of the evil god has taken effect; player's attributes have increased by 0.3 points.]

[Hint: The current kill progress of the Evil God's Power is 48/100.]

These people had all been bewitched, so he naturally showed no mercy when he attacked them.

"Don't get bogged down in the fight. Capture the leader first, and the key is to deal with that old monk!" Ye Difeng said softly.

The old monk's information box also appeared at this moment.
