She was none other than Bai Wei.
"Bai Wei, you've come at the right time! Tell me what's going on!" Miao Yan looked at Bai Wei and shouted urgently, "You promised that your Thousand Machines Thread could restrain Ye Xingchen, but why isn't it working on him now?"
"The Thousand-Piercing Line comes from the Twelve Poisons Classic, and it can be said to be the most extraordinary poison in the world. This statement is not an exaggeration at all." Bai Wei smiled faintly.
"Then why? Why is he alright?" Miao Yan began to sense something was wrong. He simply couldn't understand why Ye Xingchen was alright.
“It’s true that the Thousand-Mile Poison is the most potent poison in the world, but don’t you know Mr. Ye? He’s a Taoist who has achieved enlightenment through medicine. Do you think this little bit of poison would have any effect on him?” Bai Wei said with a smile.
"You knew it wouldn't work on him, so why didn't you tell me?" Miao Yan's expression began to twist and become ferocious.
"Why should I tell you?" Bai Wei retorted.
“Bai Wei, we are partners. I have dealt with your master, the Three Saints of Futu, face to face.” Miao Yan said coldly, “Moreover, after we succeed in our great undertaking, you will need the body of the evil god for research.”
"Your grand undertaking is something that will likely take another hundred years to complete, and it's simply impossible to accomplish," Bai Wei sighed.
“My master has already discussed this with me carefully and feels that your promises are too big for us to handle. So my master has already sent me a message asking me to cooperate with Ye Xingchen unconditionally.”
"You...you people of Futu Mountain, are you going to be treacherous people?" Miao Yan pointed at Bai Wei with trembling hands, he was completely distraught.
The saddest thing in the world is when your partner betrays you.
The cooperation had already been agreed upon with Futu Mountain, and Futu Mountain would do its utmost to support him in his endeavors.
But he never expected that at this crucial moment, Futu Mountain would betray him.
“Our Futu Mountain has never been a reputable sect. Haven’t we done enough treacherous things?” Bai Wei smiled slightly.
“Shameless…shameless…” Miao Yan pointed at her, her whole body trembling.
He was furious; his Great Wuxiang Temple and Thousand Water Temple had long since been destroyed.
Even Na Yuanzhen had ambitions, and he was killed by Ye Xingchen through Ye Xingchen's hand.
He is now practically all alone.
He had originally planned to use the power of Mount Futu to make a comeback, but now, just when he was about to take the final step, he was betrayed by his allies.
He felt an endless sorrow in his heart, firstly because the world was full of treacherous people, and secondly because he had promised the previous dynasty's royal family a great cause, which he ultimately could not fulfill.
"Don't put it so harshly. We at Mount Futu aren't all driven by profit," Bai Wei said with a slight smile. "So, Master Miaoyan, do you have anything else to say?"
Miao Yan remained silent, then suddenly clasped his hands together and let out a roar.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous golden statue suddenly appeared behind him.
At the same time, golden light burst forth from his body, his expression was solemn and dignified, and the Buddhist swastika symbols around him rose into the air, exuding an incomparably sharp killing intent throughout the tomb.
"Ye Xingchen, Bai Wei, do you really think this little thing can stump me? Heh, although my Great Wuxiang Temple is gone, I can still break through to the next realm with all my might and kill you two juniors with ease."
Miao Yan's voice rang out in the room like a resounding bell, making the entire tomb chamber buzz.
His realm continued to rise, and he instantly broke through to the Saintly Realm. The golden Arhat behind him had transformed into a Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue's expression was neither sad nor happy, while the faint sound of chanting could be heard at the same time.
"A Buddha-like appearance with a compassionate heart? This old guy's really going all out," Ye Xingchen murmured.
The Buddhist concept of "Buddha's appearance and Buddha's heart" is equivalent to breaking through the barrier of human sainthood and reaching the Three Pure Realms in martial arts, which is equivalent to being a terrestrial immortal.
This guy actually forced his way through the six meridians of the Qi Sea, increasing his strength several times over in an instant, and directly stepped into the Earth Immortal realm.
"Are you crazy? Are you trying to take us all down with you?" Bai Wei was shocked. She took several steps back and stared coldly at the monk in front of her. At the same time, she held several Buddhist needles in her hands, ready to strike at the slightest sign of trouble.
But she still felt a chill run down her spine, after all, the person in front of her was a terrestrial immortal, and she was no match for him at all.
"Haha, below the realm of terrestrial immortals, all are but ants. You... all of you, die!" Miao Yan laughed loudly, then his face turned icy cold. He pointed his right hand into the air, and his aura instantly condensed, ready to eliminate everyone.
"The power gained by forcibly breaking through the realm is not actually your power at all. Don't you understand this simple truth?" Ye Xingchen sneered.
"Killing you is enough." Miao Yan laughed loudly, his true energy surging, and the Buddha statue behind him slowly opened its eyes.
Suddenly, a giant hand appeared out of thin air and was about to press down on the group.
However, at that moment, his body suddenly stiffened... and a look of horror appeared on his face.
His true energy was dissipating at an extremely rapid pace.
He slowly raised his head to look at Ye Xingchen, a look of disbelief on his face: "You... how could you..."
"I've already said it, this kind of forcibly enhanced strength isn't your own power at all," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "What you gain, you lose as well."
"Impossible... This is impossible." Miao Yan staggered back two steps. The Buddha statue behind him let out a roar of unwillingness, and then turned into specks of golden light and disappeared.
He collapsed to his knees with a thud, gasping for breath, and realized that his strength was disappearing at an incredible speed.
Moreover, his face was aging at an extremely rapid pace; his eyes were wide open, and he could clearly feel his life slipping away bit by bit.
"Accept your fate." Ye Xingchen stepped forward and said coldly, "This is the will of Heaven, the destiny of Heaven."
“You believe in Buddhism, but apart from chanting scriptures, your actions have absolutely nothing to do with Buddhism. So you still want to use the power of Buddhism to break through to the immortal realm? That’s just wishful thinking.”
"Ye Xingchen..." Miao Yan struggled, letting out a desperate and unwilling roar.
With a roar, a loud bang followed, and he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
*Snap*... A string of Buddhist prayer beads fell to the ground, the eighteen beads scattered all over the place. The prayer beads were Miaoyan's natal magic weapon, and the scattering of the beads represented the end of his life.
"It's finally resolved." Zhang Shih-hao let out a long breath, looking like he was still shaken.
