"Can you please stop comparing me to someone with a love-struck mind? I have my own reasons for doing what I do." Shen Zhao helplessly spread his hands. "I just want to ask, is it possible to fix this?"
"Let's change the terms."
Mu Qiuyao really didn't want to accept anything related to Yu Xiyan; she just couldn't stand seeing Yu Xiyan do well in any way.
She didn't have any feelings for Yu Xiyan at first, but the longer she spent with Shen Zhao, the more she felt that the rumors about Shen Zhao from her previous life were not worth it.
Even when he saw Shen Zhao take out the Mountain and River Seal, a strange thrill ignited in his heart.
"For this? Considering I helped you solve your cultivation problem and taught you the Heavenly Absorption Divine Technique, you're not even willing to do this small favor?"
"Are you really still hung up on that little hussy?"
"Does this have anything to do with you helping me repair the Imperial Seal?"
"If that's the case, then I won't agree."
"What? Do you have a grudge against her?"
"It didn't exist before, but it does now."
Shen Zhao felt utterly bewildered, so he put away the imperial seal: "Fine, since you're unwilling, I won't force you. Once we leave the Buddhist Kingdom..."
We'll go our separate ways, but I advise you, you'd better not touch my friends, otherwise, even if it's the Celestial Dynasty, I've decided to give it a shot.
"snort……"
Mu Qiuyao turned her face away and snorted coldly, ignoring him completely.
"arrive!"
In a daze, the two returned to the entrance of the narrow passage, to the familiar mine, and to the familiar giant Buddha statue.
The only difference is that the laborers and monks who were originally here have all disappeared, leaving only chaos and ruins.
Looking at the towering sky, Mu Qiuyao recalled her experiences in the Buddhist Kingdom for more than a month, feeling as if she had lived through another world.
Returning to the starting point again, I am filled with many emotions.
Let's go.
Shen Zhao stretched out his arms and stepped onto the steps of the narrow passage.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Just as he stepped onto the stairs, a palm strike suddenly came hurtling towards him.
Shen Zhao took a step forward and stood up to block.
After a loud bang, Wuchen and Shichen appeared gracefully on the steps.
"Yo he~"
Shen Zhao calmly untied the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip of wine, and then assumed a fighting stance.
Mu Qiuyao stood side by side with Shen Zhao, their auras surging.
"Her heresy and evil practices have destroyed my Buddhist temple. You think you can just leave like this?"
"You have committed the grave sin of slandering the Buddha, and shall be punished with the most severe punishment of being skinned alive and having your tendons pulled out!"
"Quickly return with me to Mount Ling to face your punishment!"
As Shi Chen unfolded the Vajra Umbrella, a ferocious Vajra image appeared behind him.
With a crimson dagger held across his chest, Wuchen was instantly enveloped in spiritual energy, which formed a Buddha image in mid-air.
"Young man, these two are both at the half-step Manifestation Saint level, and their spiritual weapons are extraordinary. Do not be careless."
"These mere ants are not worth my attention."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao conjured a dragon scale blade and pointed it forward.
"Alright, enough talk, let's go!"
"court death!"
Enraged, Wuchen was the first to draw his sword and slash.
But just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped, abruptly halting his attack.
Behind him, Shi Chen hurriedly said, "Following the Buddha's instructions, return to Mount Ling immediately, without delay."
Wuchen immediately sheathed his ring knife and looked at Shen Zhao and the other two with resentment: "Hmph, you're lucky today."
After saying this, the two transformed into light and flew westward.
What's going on?
Mu Qiuyao was somewhat confused about the current situation.
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Zhao said, "If I'm not mistaken, the resistance forces within the Buddhist Kingdom have made new moves."
"The Pure Land Chan School?"
"I suppose so. Ever since the Buddhist kingdom was corrupted, there have always been Buddhist disciples with steadfast faith who refused to compromise their beliefs."
For over ten thousand years, they have been waging a desperate resistance against the evil influence. Now that the evil influence in Shituo City has been suppressed, they will not let go of this excellent opportunity to counterattack.
Shen Zhao sheathed his knife and sighed, "What a pity, these two managed to escape with their lives."
Mu Qiuyao: "Aren't you planning to help the Pure Zen Sect?"
Shen Zhao: "The Blood Brahma Dragon Sutra has not yet been mastered. Going there now would be meaningless."
Mu Qiuyao: "I wonder how many more people will die."
Shen Zhao sighed deeply: "Their sacrifice will definitely not go unnoticed. Let's go."
After saying that, he resolutely stepped onto the stairs.
On the mountaintop, the two walked for three days straight, but still could not find the exit.
"Boy, how did you leave the Buddhist kingdom in your past life?"
"In my previous life, I was able to enter the Buddhist Kingdom entirely because of the Kunlun Mirror, which enabled me to communicate with the outside world."
"The Kunlun Mirror, one of the Ten Great Ancient Artifacts of Creation? Where did you obtain it?"
"You don't need to ask that. Let's find the exit."
As he spoke, Shen Zhao stood on the edge of the narrow gorge, gazing at the unfathomable sea of clouds and lost in thought.
"Perhaps the exit is right here."
"You mean, you're going to jump from here?"
"I can't think of any other way to leave except to take a gamble..."
Before Mu Qiuyao could react, Shen Zhao leaped into the clouds.
"Wait for me!"
Mu Qiuyao did not hesitate and jumped down decisively after him!
