Li Molin and Liu Li watched the battle from afar, exchanged a glance and nodded, then simultaneously looked in the direction of the battle and shouted in unison:
"Listen up, all you demons, retreat!"
"Listen up, all you divine beasts, retreat!"
Although the man and the fox had given the order to retreat, most of the demons and divine beast youths in the battle were already out of their minds and their steps were unsteady. How could they hear what Li Molin and Liuli were saying? Only a few demons or divine beasts with higher cultivation levels were still somewhat conscious.
Seeing this, Liuli looked up at Shichan in the sky. After a moment of contemplation, she raised her hand, and a crimson ribbon appeared out of thin air and flew quickly toward Shichan.
The ribbon quickly flew into the golden light, but its speed suddenly slowed down, moving forward slowly like a tortoise crawling.
Seeing that the divine beast youth had suffered heavy casualties in such a short time, Liuli was furious. She looked up at the extremely slow-moving Crimson Soul Belt, gritted her teeth, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and gracefully flew towards Shichan.
"Liuli!" Li Molin exclaimed in surprise, then flew up and followed closely behind her.
After Liuli took flight, a black and gold light flashed beneath her feet, and a nine-colored lotus platform dyed black appeared beneath her feet. She activated the lotus platform to emit a nine-colored light screen, then stepped on the lotus platform and passed through the golden light without any hindrance. When she passed the Crimson Soul Belt, she casually put it away and quickly flew to Shichan's side.
The Nine-Colored Lotus Platform is a Buddhist treasure. Although it is now tainted by demonic energy, Liuli has only been nurturing it with demonic energy for a short time and has not yet completely transformed it into a demonic artifact. Therefore, after Liuli is protected by the Buddhist light of the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform, the power of the prayer wheel will not have any effect on her.
She stood on the lotus platform, coldly looking at Shi Chan, and said in a chilling voice, "Monk, stop!"
At that moment, Shi Chan was turning a prayer wheel and chanting mantras with his eyes closed when he heard Liuli's voice. He slowly opened his eyes and called out with a smile, "Miss Liuli."
Liuli looked at him with a cold and complicated gaze. She paused for a moment and continued, "Monk, stop turning your prayer wheel, or I won't be polite!"
Shi Chan's hand slowly stopped, and the chanting and golden light disappeared. He looked at Liuli with a gentle, smiling gaze, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay."
His abrupt stop startled Liuli. She stared blankly at his smiling face until Li Molin flew to her side and called out, "Let's go, Liuli!"
Liuli snapped out of her daze, glanced at Shichan one last time, withdrew her complicated gaze, urged the lotus platform beneath her to descend slightly, and shouted, "All divine beasts, listen up, retreat!"
Li Molin then gave the same order to all the demons, and the demons hastily withdrew, following behind Li Molin and Liuli.
Neither side of the righteous path pursued the demons. Instead, under the orders of their masters, they began to tally the casualties, collect the corpses of their fellow disciples, and busied themselves with various tasks.
Shi Chan watched from the air as a large patch of black light rapidly disappeared into the distance. He then looked down, and from his vantage point, the corpses and blood on the ground became even clearer. A look of pity flashed in his eyes. He put away his prayer wheel, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head to chant a long Buddhist mantra: "Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
A breeze picked up, a slightly chilly wind gently blowing across the land, rustling the branches and leaves of the Bodhi grove. But this soft sound was quickly drowned out by the noise, as if it had never been heard at all.
