It was obvious at first glance that the golden lotus was no ordinary thing, and it was enough to make people dazzled at first sight.

If this thing were to be shown at the Ascension Conference, the monks wouldn't have to waste any words to persuade us. At least several thousand young men would immediately convert to Buddhism and never think of anything else again.

It took a while for his eyes to adjust to the dazzling golden light before Jiang Li could see clearly that there were six old monks sitting cross-legged on the golden lotus.

It can be seen how big this lotus platform is. There is more than enough space for six strong old monks to sit on it.

It is obvious that these six people are in seclusion for this Buddhist treasure.

It’s no wonder that they haven’t been able to come out to receive the distinguished guests from Sutra Valley these days.

After all, no matter how important something is to them, can it be more important than the birth of a Buddha treasure? And for monks with long life spans, three to five days is really nothing.

"All disciples, chant sutras to welcome the Buddha's birth!"

A monk shouted loudly, and tens of thousands of disciples below immediately calmed down and chanted Buddhist scriptures in unison.

The six divine monks also responded by waving their hands and drawing the golden lotus under them. Pieces of Buddha's light splashed out and fell on all the monks present.

However, the Buddha's light that fell on outsiders such as Jiang Li was obviously much less.

【Surrounded by the Buddha's light, the Golden Lotus Buddha's light acts on oneself. 】

[Golden Lotus Buddha Light: Peace of mind, exorcism, spirit +1, understanding +1, physique +1, duration 30 minutes] (-+)

Jiang Li looked at the additional status on the panel, and the effect of this little bit of Buddha's light was indeed not very good.

Basically, it is just slightly better than the effect of a stick of concentration incense.

If it was when he was just starting out, he might be excited about it, but now it's just better than nothing.

Because this Buddha's light will be distributed to the tens of thousands of monks present, these disciples of Cihang Temple will also use Buddhist techniques to actively attract and absorb the Buddha's light.

Although Jiang Li and his group were positioned closer to the front, the amount of Buddha's light they could receive was very minimal.

At this time, all the disciples of Cihang Temple were bowing their heads and chanting Buddhist scriptures seriously.

Jiang Li found that the group of people on the opposite side of Bailian Mountain were not interested in the Buddha's light at all. No one took the initiative to absorb the Buddha's light, but just looked at the golden lotus and didn't know what to do. Even the number of people on the other side was less than half.

In order to prevent the two sides from having another conflict, the people of Cihang Temple specially arranged their positions far apart after demolishing their temple, so Jiang Li did not pay too much attention to them. Now looking at their behavior, it was strange everywhere.

Logically speaking, this kind of rare event should be something that everyone would want to witness. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still a piece of meat, and most people would not refuse it.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Jiang Li instinctively became alert.

He looked left and right, and finally followed the gaze of the group of Bailian Mountain monks and turned his eyes to the golden lotus platform.

This time he saw something. There seemed to be a not very clean stain at the bottom of the lotus platform.

In the rich golden color, a non-luminous stain is quite conspicuous.

Jiang Li opened his eyes wide and looked carefully. It seemed that something was stuck there.

"Is this... a worm?"

A fat and strong leech as thick as an adult's arm had somehow attached itself to the dazzling and flawless lotus.

Jiang Li frowned and just when he realized something was wrong, the evil blood leech exploded.

A pool of inky black and smelly blood stained the bottom of the golden lotus.

The lotus platform, which should have been pure and untainted by mud, was like a sponge at this moment. It absorbed all the evil blood in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, monstrous demonic energy suddenly surged out, tearing through the shrouded golden light, breaking through the auspiciousness in the sky, and directly dyeing the clear sky into dark clouds.

The golden Buddha lotus suddenly lost its Buddha light and turned black. The Buddha power that poured out from the lotus suddenly turned into vicious demonic energy!

Thousands of monks present at the scene, affected by this huge blow, all vomited out black blood. They were completely defenseless and attracted evil spirits into their bodies, and all of them were injured on the spot.

"What's going on! The Six Senses Purification Mantra! Not good!"

The six monks sitting on the lotus pedestals also changed their expressions. They had clearly completely eliminated the evil nature of the lotus, so how could it suddenly turn from Buddha to evil?

They were about to escape and use the Six Purification Mantra to suppress the magic lotus again, but the petals of the lotus suddenly closed inward, forming an enclosed space that locked the six of them in.

Several monks were about to break out of the lotus immediately, but the lotus platform was of extremely high grade and solid. It had gone through the process of transformation from a demon to a Buddha and then back to a demon, so its resistance to the power of Buddhism was amazing.

As a result, even with the methods used by these six people, they were unable to escape for a while.

And this lotus platform used to eat people! In the closed lotus space, chaotic and evil demonic energy surged out, madly corroding their Buddha bodies.

If they couldn't escape in time, these six monks would probably die here.

"Damn it! The stupa! Give it to me!"

Abbot Le Ku, who had been staying in the pagoda and had not left, was also horrified when he saw this scene.

He hurriedly activated the core stupa of Cihang Temple, and the sky was covered with golden light, trying to suppress the demon lotus again.

However! Puff!

A strange black vajra pierced through the abbot's chest from behind! "Kong'e! You! It's you!"

"What have you done!"

The Buddha's body was broken and severe pain came over him. A strange demonic energy surged into his body from the black vajra.

Abbot Liaoku stumbled forward three steps, turned his head and looked at the monk Kong'e, whom he had always respected as his uncle, in disbelief! Because of his status, he was assigned the important task of guarding the magic lotus from the day the magic lotus entered the temple.

For two hundred years, the monks of Cihang Temple burned incense and chanted sutras non-stop, spending countless efforts to purify this lotus platform.

But at this moment, the lotus platform that had finally transformed from a demon into a Buddha failed! Kong'e unexpectedly attacked him suddenly for no reason, and his attack was so vicious and cruel, this attack was definitely a death blow.

There is no need to think too much, this matter is definitely related to the other party!

"What did I do? Brother Leku, you are really confused. Can't you see it now?"

The monk Kong'e's expression at this moment was distorted to the extreme. From his face, one could see excitement, resentment, hatred and other expressions. It seemed that he had been wanting to stab with the vajra for a long time.

He took out a brocade box from his arms and threw it to the ground, breaking it into several pieces. From the surface of the broken pieces, a layer of slippery and disgusting mucus could be seen. This brocade box must have contained something disgusting before.

"Master Le Ku, do you understand now? I have been waiting for this for a long time!"

Host Liao Ku was not a stupid person at all. His face instantly became filled with horror.

It turns out that over the years, while the monks in the temple were purifying the magic lotus all the time, someone had been secretly stealing the magic energy.

He even specially injected the demonic energy back today, so that the lotus that had finally turned into a Buddhist treasure could instantly turn back into a demonic one! The person who did this extremely evil act was none other than Kong'e! "You! You! You are not worthy of being a monk in my Cihang Temple! Someone, come! Capture Kong'e for me!"

Abbot Liao Ku's face was filled with blue-black energy, and the situation inside his body was even worse.

Monk Kong'e knew his abbot very well, so he had naturally made all the necessary preparations for a sneak attack. Even if abbot Ku had a high level of cultivation, it would not be easy for him to withstand this powerful blow.

Le Ku sent a message to other elders, wanting to summon them to capture Kong'e, but at this moment, shouts and screams were also heard from outside the tower!

"Empty Evil! Empty Evil! Empty Evil!!"

"You actually colluded with the demon cultivators to attack the sect! I will kill you! I will clear the sect out!"

Through the stupa, which is the core of the entire Cihang Temple formation, Abbot Liao Ku immediately learned of the tragic situation in the temple.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

A pair of kind eyes instantly transformed into an enraged King Kong. He stopped suppressing his injuries and let the surging evil energy rage in his body. He rushed towards Kong'e who was still gloating! . . .

Outside the stupa, Jiang Li was also shocked when he saw the lotus suddenly turn black.

After this thing changed its color, it looks a little familiar!

After realizing something was wrong, before he could cut off the connection with the Buddha's light, the Buddha's light had already transformed into demonic light!

Fortunately, none of the three of them are Buddhists, and they don’t have any Buddhist wisdom to speak of.

The connection with the original Buddha's light was already weak, and although the process of transformation from Buddha to demon was a bit sudden, it did not have much impact on them.

Especially Jiang Li, the Buddha's light state on others disappeared, but his did not, which was just enough to offset that little bit of influence.

He raised his eyes and stared at the black magic lotus, trying to recall where he had seen or heard of this thing.

But at this moment, the stone Buddha statues placed around the square suddenly exploded, and hundreds of black-robed monks jumped out from them.

Looking at the dark aura on them, it was almost the same as what Jiang Li saw under the Demon Suppression Tower. They were actually a group of demon cultivators who used sophisticated means to hide in the stone statues and sneak into the temple!

Jiang Li then slapped his forehead and cursed himself for being careless!

When I saw the group of people from Bailian Mountain coming in from outside the temple, I subconsciously thought that the black color I saw in my dream of Guanyin was the group of monks from Bailian Mountain.

Later, because of the incident at Bailian Mountain, his attention was diverted and he didn't even think about confirming it again.

Now it seems that what he saw at that time was clearly the group of demon cultivators hiding in the stone statues! The will and spirit of demon cultivators are very different from those of normal cultivators. Under the influence of the demon cultivation techniques, all kinds of evil thoughts intersect and become filthy, filling their sea of ​​consciousness.

Only they would appear that dark from Guanyin's perspective!

Their own Buddha treasure, the Golden Lotus, was tampered with by someone, and they personally sent people to invite the enemy into the temple! This Cihang Temple is almost infiltrated like a sieve! There must be a traitor in their temple! The status of this traitor is definitely not low!

But he couldn't afford to think too much at this moment, because those demon cultivators were not kind people. It was impossible for them to be merciful.

The group of demon cultivators that jumped out of the stone statues impatiently brandished their butcher knives and began to kill the low-level disciples on the periphery like chopping melons and vegetables.

The lowest level of these demon cultivators is at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the next highest is at the Core Formation stage. There are even a few demons in the Nascent Soul stage present.

When the fight started, the low-level disciples of Cihang Temple were even more powerless than lambs to be slaughtered! "Damn it! How could this happen!"

"Le Xiu, Le Qiu, Le Chen, go and help your uncle and aunt out of this predicament!"

"Let go of greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred. Monks of Cihang Temple! Follow me to meet the enemy!"

The elder of Cihang Temple, with blood still hanging from his mouth, managed to stabilize his injuries with the help of his inner elixir and Nascent Soul. He roared and rushed towards the demon cultivator who was slaughtering low-level disciples.

But those who came were no mediocre, they were injured, and there were disciples beside them, so they were restricted in their fighting.

And there were more than one place where invaders appeared. There were also flames in several other important locations in Cihang Temple.

They also need to allocate manpower to suppress the nearby areas and rescue the six monks trapped in the magic lotus in time.

The temple was already in a bad state, and it had to share the power and was restricted. With these multiple difficulties, the mighty Cihang Temple was suppressed by hundreds of enemies in its own territory for a while.

"Everyone from Sutra Valley and Bailian Mountain! Please lend a helping hand! Cihang Temple will surely reward you handsomely afterwards!"

A monk from Cihang Temple saw the two groups of people standing there and immediately asked for help.

Before Elder He could say anything, the people from Bailian Mountain gave their response first.

Ten disciples with indifferent expressions stepped out of the crowd and spread to the monks lying on the ground, and then they blew themselves up! The terrifying poisonous fog swept across a large area in an instant, corroding bones and flesh! The 10% commission for the refining business was just a lie to fool Cihang Temple. They had already found a more suitable ally.

Since their actions have been discovered by Sutra Repository Valley, they will go all out and launch a plan to cut off Cihang Temple, one of the four major sects in Dazhong Mountain, and then get the magic treasure collected by Cihang Temple! As long as they get the magic treasure, plus the hidden trump card of Bailian Mountain, they will have nothing to fear even if Shushan Five Elements Peak and Sutra Repository Valley join forces!

In the end, the only one who can take control of Dachong Mountain and soar to prominence is Bailian Mountain!

The ten medicine men who self-destructed were all C-grade medicine men in the foundation-building stage. The power of their self-destruction was at least ten times that of Ding Chuyi in Dachong Mountain! The terrifying poisonous fog exploded, corroding the ground and causing it to collapse, forming a circle of purple-black poisonous swamp surrounding the relic pagoda.

Even the soil and rocks have been corroded to this extent. How can the monks within the range of the poisonous fog still be alive?

The poisonous swamp even assimilated their corpses and continued to spread outward.

The Hundred Refined Yam Man who came from behind blew himself up, dealing another heavy blow to the monks of Cihang Temple. Being stabbed in the back, he suffered an unbearable critical hit.

Three waves of attacks in succession, linked together and connected step by step, directly defeated the mighty Cihang Temple and made it lose its direction.

Jiang Li felt a chill down his spine as he watched this scene. The killing power of a traitor could really surpass that of thousands of troops.

And Situ Tingxin obviously hated the Sutra Valley to the core.

If it weren't for Jiang Li and Leyuan, Bailian Mountain would have been ranked first on the White List, and it wouldn't have evolved into this situation! So when he saw Jiang Li was also in Cihang Temple, he was very happy.

Besides the ten medicine men, there was another disciple with expressionless face, rushing towards them.
