A few days ago, Shi Chan listened to the discussions of many righteous disciples and agreed with the decision of the sect leaders not to use the Thunderfire Tribulation. However, he was awakened by the large-scale mobilization of the righteous disciples this morning and was surprised to learn that they were preparing to use the Thunderfire Tribulation. He was shocked and hurriedly chased after them.
At this moment, his face was full of anxiety. Facing the leaders of more than thirty righteous sects, he raised his voice and said, "Seniors, we cannot use the Thunderfire Tribulation!"
At this point, the more than 20,000 righteous disciples remained unusually quiet. As soon as Shi Chan spoke, all the righteous disciples frowned and looked down at the City of Gods and Demons below, fearing that Shi Chan's voice would disturb the demons in the city.
Fortunately, the place was very high, and the demons in the city had only gone to sleep in the middle of the night, so Shi Chan's voice did not disturb anyone, and the city remained very quiet.
Looking around at the disapproving expressions of the leaders, Shi Chan quickly continued to persuade them, "The Thunderfire Calamity is a malevolent force in the world. Once it appears, it damages heaven and earth and causes immense suffering to all living beings. It is even more ferocious than the Demon Calamity! If we really use the Thunderfire Calamity to repel the demons, wouldn't we be driving a tiger to devour a wolf?!"
Like most of the righteous disciples, the thirty-odd leaders all showed impatience. They frowned and turned their unfriendly gazes to the leaders of Bodhi Temple.
Although many people do not recognize Shi Chan, they all recognize the monk's robe he wears. The robe Shi Chan is wearing now is still the one he took from Shi Ning, and it naturally bears the mark of Bodhi Temple.
The leader of Bodhi Temple was Shi Li, another direct disciple of Zen Master Daming. Feeling the gazes of the more than thirty leaders of other sects, he could only frown and say, "Zen Master Shi, be quiet!"
Shi Chan looked anxious and uneasy. Hearing the sound, he turned to Shi Li and earnestly said, "Senior Brother Shi Li, I hope you can persuade our fellow practitioners that the Thunderfire Tribulation must not be used. It is something that goes against the natural order!"
Shi Li's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Whether or not to use the Thunderfire Tribulation is the result of discussions among the leaders of various sects in the Central Plains. Are you, Shi Chan, less knowledgeable than the leaders? Shi Chan, stop talking. If you are so inclined, just kill a few more demons later!"
In his haste, Master Shi Chan raised his voice and said, “This humble monk believes that good will prevail over evil, and the demons will surely be defeated by us. However, we should not use such a ferocious weapon as the Thunderfire Calamity just to preserve our strength! Once the Thunderfire Calamity is unleashed, it will be difficult to stop it. You all should know the devastating calamities caused by the Thunderfire Calamity in ancient times. We can certainly repel the demons with this weapon, but the Central Plains will also be damaged. At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be damaged, and the land will become barren and desolate. Such an outcome is not what you all want to see! This humble monk sincerely advises you all that the Thunderfire Calamity must not be used. If you abandon this idea now, it is still not too late!”
He paused to catch his breath and continued, "As you all know, in ancient times, when the Thunderfire Calamity first appeared, it wasn't originally called this. Its name was Divine Thunder. It was only after it was forbidden due to damaging the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and causing irreparable harm to the land that it was renamed Thunderfire Calamity. Thunderfire Calamity, the appearance of this thing will surely bring calamity!"
In the end, Shi Chan mixed Buddhist power into his voice so that everyone could hear it, and because of this, his voice finally faintly reached the City of Gods and Demons.
"Shi Chan, be quiet!" Shi Li was startled. He shouted in a deep voice, "Are you trying to warn the demons?!"
With a face full of anxiety and his brows furrowed, Shi Chan looked around at the silent and disapproving faces of the many righteous disciples, feeling utterly powerless.
A moment later, he clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to the more than 20,000 righteous disciples, and said in a sincere voice, "On behalf of Heaven and Earth and on behalf of the countless living beings in the Central Plains, I earnestly beg you all to gather up the Thunderfire Tribulation and destroy it completely. You must not use this evil thing!"
“Shi Chan!” Shi Li was furious.
