In its early years, Emei was indeed extremely powerful, once standing shoulder to shoulder with Lingshan.
Unfortunately, the glory of that time is no more. Mount Ling still exists, but Mount Emei has declined so much. Upon reflection, it is only because the patriarch of Mount Ling, Tathagata, is still alive, while the patriarch of Mount Emei has passed away.
When the past was brought up, Tathagata was in a real bind. He couldn't remember what the nun looked like at all, and he never imagined that this matter would arouse such jealousy in the Peacock King.
Chu Nian, annoyed by Xiao Jin's nagging from the spatial artifact, couldn't help but ask, "Peacock, tell me, was the egg you laid on Mount Ling, the one that hatched the Golden Roc, really yours? Who is its father?"
As soon as she said this, everyone present turned to look at her with strange eyes: Girl, is it appropriate for you to ask such a question at this time?
Chu Nian said anxiously, "Why are you all looking at me? Peacock, why don't you explain yourself!"
The Peacock King coldly demanded, "Is this any of your business?"
She had previously thought that because she was always around Buddha, he took her for granted and didn't appreciate her. So she deliberately stayed with the Peng bird, but she didn't expect that even after they had a child, Buddha didn't react at all as she had anticipated, and was even happy for her.
In a fit of anger, she killed the roc. She originally wanted to smash the egg, but Buddha stopped her.
Thinking that the egg was ultimately her child, she softened and gave up the idea of breaking it. However, she could no longer stay in the Spirit Mountain, so she went down to the mortal world to be reincarnated under the pretext of reincarnation.
Chu Nian urged, "Tell me whether it's relevant or not!"
"None of your business! Go to hell!" Peacock King exploded, suddenly flipping her palms over, causing the array plates on her palms to surge and churn. "Wunian, I didn't want this to happen, but since you're so curious, then you'll all die here!"
She killed the roc in a fit of anger, but looking back now, it seems that only that roc was truly kind to her, always letting her have whatever she wanted. Perhaps this is what is called true love!
She had been trying to avoid recalling the fact that she had killed the Peng bird with her own hands, but now, hearing Chu Nian ask about the father of her child, she was overwhelmed with grief. Though she said she was angry, she was actually filled with remorse.
But she had nowhere to vent these emotions, and now she couldn't control herself and wanted to kill everyone, including herself.
She felt that even if everyone here were to die with her, she wouldn't have lost out.
Therefore, she launched a full-scale offensive.
Although this place is not the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain, and in fact, it is quite far from the many temples and monasteries of Emei, it is still within the control range of the Golden Summit Grand Array. Once this killing array is activated, no one can escape.
However, with the Buddha present, his power might be able to protect the nuns. She knew to some extent how powerful the Buddha was.
She looked at Chu Nian with a cold smile, her eyes filled with hatred, and said cruelly, "Wu Nian, you say you only have master-disciple feelings for that Demon Lord? Do you think I'll believe that? Do you think anyone here will believe that? He hasn't shown up for so long, he must be trying to find a way to break my Emei Grand Formation!"
Haha... Let me tell you, this formation was indeed given to that nun by Buddha, but I made some modifications after taking it over. So, you demon lord... heh, once I fully unleash the offensive power of this formation, those of you on the outer perimeter might be protected by Buddha's light and escape death, but that demon lord... haha... haha..."
Her laughter was somewhat hysterical. Chu Nian saw madness in her eyes, and she was puzzled as to why the Peacock King had become like this whenever she asked about Xiao Jin's father.
Chu Nian frowned and questioned, "Your child, don't you want to see her again?"
The Peacock King was taken aback, and the magical energy urging the great formation to stop as well.
Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why do you go even crazier when I ask about his father?"
"What's it to you?" the Peacock King shouted hysterically, activating the great formation again.
The Buddha said helplessly, "She killed her husband with her own hands. To this day, I still don't know what kind of conflict the two of them had. She even wanted to smash the egg she laid with her own hands."
Chu Nian was a little dumbfounded by this news: Xiao Jin was so eager just now that he almost jumped up. Because Chu Nian rarely saw Xiao Jin like this, he directly asked the Peacock King. But now, Xiao Jin looked like he had been hit by frost, and he was all wilted.
"Buddha, did I ask you to speak?" Chu Nian complained irritably.
The Buddha countered, "Didn't you ask that?"
Chu Nian: "I'm asking about the child's mother. Are you the child's mother?" She was so angry about this fact that she was almost hysterical, let alone Xiao Jin.
"Hahaha...hahaha..." The Peacock King burst into hysterical laughter again. "Wunian, the demon lord you care about most must be right here at the core of the array. Once the attack array is activated, the core will self-destruct first. Hahaha...hahaha..."
Chu Nian was nearly scared out of her wits by her words. Lin Jingting was using his own abilities, not like she was quickly entering someone else's body. If this physical body was destroyed, even if Lin Jingting survived with his divine power, he would be severely injured. The real problem was that this grand formation was designed by Lin Jingting and later improved by the Peacock King; Chu Nian didn't dare to test its power, because she couldn't afford to lose.
She secretly released her spiritual power to try to stop the Peacock King's crazy actions. She estimated that as long as the Peacock King's magic power was cut off, the activation could be temporarily stopped.
On the other hand, she quickly said, "Peacock, what do you want? Just name it, and I'll agree to anything." She needed to divert the Peacock King's attention to avoid her discovering her actions.
"If this great attack is fully launched, will you still be alive? Don't you want to...don't you want to see your newborn child?" she asked tentatively.
The Peacock King indeed seemed somewhat dazed, but quickly regained his senses and said, "My child, I know he's doing very well on Mount Ling, there's no need for me to worry about him at all. But you, Wu Nian, the person you care about will be the first to be destroyed in the self-destruction at the center of the formation, haha... guess how you'll feel when he dies?"
Chu Nian said helplessly, "Why do you have to do this? Tell me, what do you want? I'll agree to anything!"
The Peacock King widened his eyes and sneered, "Is that so? What if I ask you to take out your heart? Would you agree? I've heard that you practitioners of the Path of Ruthlessness are heartless. I want to see if you, this high-ranking disciple of the Path of Ruthlessness, truly have a heart."
