Shi Ning stopped in his tracks, and after a long silence, he turned to look at Shi Chan. His expression was grave, and he nodded, saying, "Indeed, the situation outside is indeed critical. The reason I came personally to deliver these three weapons to you is because I fear that if I don't come now, I will never have the chance to see you again."
Shi Chan's heart trembled violently, and his body couldn't help but shake.
Shi Ning sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "Shortly after you left the temple, the demons somehow found a way to summon more than three hundred demon spirits with a wave of their hand. Apart from Chi You's eighty-one brothers, the other three hundred demons were Chi You's closest subordinates in ancient times, totaling three hundred and twenty-five."
“Each of those 325 demonic spirits is at the same level as a Demon Lord. In the past two months, not to mention the armies led by other demon generals, Demon Lord Li Molin alone destroyed three Buddhist temples and four Taoist sects. The strength of each of these Buddhist temples and Taoist sects was no less than that of my Bodhi Temple, and even surpassed it.”
"This humble monk does not know when the Demon Lord will set his sights on Bodhi Temple, but this humble monk does know that with the current strength of our temple, we absolutely cannot withstand the attack of more than three hundred Demon Lord level demons. Even if we use the beacon tower to send a message, if other sects know that it is the Demon Lord himself who is attacking, no one will dare to come to our aid. It can be said that any sect that is targeted by the Demon Lord Li Molin will be slaughtered, with no chance of survival."
"Nowadays, all the righteous disciples in the Central Plains have placed their hopes on the Xuanyuan Sword, but there is no sign whatsoever that it will appear in the world. Alas, Heaven is going to destroy our righteous path!"
Looking at Shi Chan's shocked and bewildered expression, Shi Ning said softly, "However, you don't need to worry too much. Right now, all the righteous sects outside are discussing joining forces to attack the City of Gods and Demons. Whether they win or lose, whether they live or die, it all depends on fate."
Having said that, Shi Ning stepped forward and patted Shi Chan on the shoulder. He looked at Shi Chan with gentle eyes and said softly, "It is not necessarily a bad thing for you to live in seclusion at this time. If my Bodhi Temple is destroyed and Buddhism is destroyed in the future, you should wait for the right opportunity. If there is an opportunity, try to spread the Dharma again and let the light of Buddhism shine on the earth!"
"Shi Chan." Shi Ning finally called out the name subconsciously. He squeezed Shi Chan's shoulder tightly and said softly, "I hope we can get through this tribulation safely. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will come to see you again."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After taking a few steps, Shi Ning suddenly turned around and looked at Shi Chan from afar, saying softly, "By the way, I heard that the disciples of the Yuandao Sect are currently searching everywhere for that evil fox beside you. I don't know why, so please be careful."
Having said that, he didn't linger and turned to walk forward.
Shi Chan was taken aback, wondering why the disciples of Yuandao Sect would be looking for Liuli.
He stared blankly as Shi Ning's figure receded into the distance, his heart filled with turmoil. On one hand, he desperately wanted to go out and do his part for the righteous path and all living beings, striving to help them overcome the demonic tribulation. But on the other hand, he simply couldn't abandon Liuli.
"Senior brother..." After a long period of stunned silence, Shi Chan suddenly came to his senses and called out softly, but Shi Ning had already gone far away and could no longer hear him.
Shi Chan stood there for a long time before putting away his three weapons and walking forward with a heavy expression.
