The noise behind her was deafening. Liuli suppressed her chaotic emotions, wiped away her tears, composed herself, and turned to look.
Li Molin then turned around, but first glanced at Liuli before turning his gaze to the direction from which the commotion was coming.
After examining it closely, he noticed the prayer wheel tightly gripped in Shi Chan's hand, and his expression turned cold. He frowned and shouted in a chilling voice, "All demons, listen up! Kill the monk Shi Chan and seize the treasure!"
"Yes!" All the demons responded and attacked Shi Chan in unison.
Seeing this, people from both the Buddhist and Taoist sides came to Shi Chan's side one after another, blocking out many demons for him, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle again.
Liuli's eyes were red, indicating that she had been crying. She gazed at Shichan amidst the chaos of battle, her expression extremely complex.
This person was her Nightingale, her most beloved Nightingale. But he was also the one who led the annihilation of the entire Nine-Tailed Fox clan, the one who personally killed her once, and the one she once believed to be the person she hated the most.
It seemed that Shi Chan did not want to fight fiercely in the Bodhi Forest, fearing that he would destroy this sacred Buddhist site. So he greeted the people from both the Buddhist and Taoist sides, withdrew, and flew out of the forest.
Before leaving, he glanced at Liuli from afar and smiled gently.
Looking at his smile, Liuli's eyes grew increasingly confused. She truly didn't know what her feelings for him were anymore. Did she still hate him? Or was it, as the white-robed Liuli had said... love?
The demons were unwilling to let Shi Chan leave, and they all chased after him, followed by the righteous forces.
Li Molin turned to look at Liuli and said in a low voice, "Liuli, let's go."
"Okay." Liuli nodded in response, put aside her chaotic emotions, and took flight first, with Li Molin following closely behind.
The group emerged from the Bodhi Grove. Outside, the righteous and demonic factions were locked in fierce combat. The mutilated corpses on the ground were a horrifying sight, and the copious amounts of blood had stained the azure Prajna Lake crimson. Both sides had suffered casualties, but it seemed the righteous side had suffered more.
When Shi Chan arrived outside the forest, his gaze towards the fierce battle was filled with pity and helplessness. Looking at the blood that had stained the lake red, his eyes were heavy with sorrow.
After a moment, his expression hardened. He thought to himself that if he wanted to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, it seemed that the only way was to stop killing with killing!
He leaped into the air, soaring above the chaotic battleground, his expression grave yet resolute. As he chanted incantations in a low voice, his right hand moved, and he suddenly began to spin the prayer wheel.
Accompanied by a soaring chant, a vast expanse of golden light descended from the sky, showering down like sunlight, instantly enveloping both sides in the fierce battle. Under the golden light, the demons and the divine beast youth immediately felt their bodies sink. Then, the soaring chant penetrated their ears, and waves of Buddhist chanting resounded deep within their minds, causing them to feel a sharp pain in their heads, become disoriented, and be greatly affected.
On the other hand, the Taoists on the righteous path were completely unaffected, while the Buddhist disciples were greatly encouraged. Their physical strength, which had been lost in the long battle, was rapidly recovering, and their spiritual energy was also recovering at a faster rate, which made them very happy.
With this ebb and flow, apart from the Xuanjia Army with its astonishing defensive capabilities, the other demons and divine beast youths suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
Li Molin and Liuli were the last to rush out of the Bodhi Forest. Because they were some distance from the chaotic battle, they were not greatly affected, but they were a little unsettled by the loud chanting.
