There were several golden immortal monks beside Dharma Vidyaraja, one of whom was the monk Kongxiu who came out of Amoghavajra Temple.
At this moment, Monk Kongxiu also stood up and said, "Fellow Daoists, Fang Jian is ruthless and despicable. Now that he has discovered us, there will be no peace. I implore you all to unite as one and not be deceived by Fang Jian's evil words. We should follow the Dharma King closely and fight to the death. Only then will we have a chance of survival."
As Kong Xiu finished speaking, a resounding voice suddenly rang out from outside the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave: "Listen up, remnants of the Great Sun Sect in the mountains! Your whereabouts have been exposed. My Western Heavenly Palace soldiers have deployed their battle formations and surrounded this mountain. You will not be able to escape. Master Hongqing decrees that if you surrender voluntarily, you will be spared. If you resist stubbornly, you will be annihilated!"
Upon hearing this, the Buddhist monks in the cave suddenly relaxed a little, but Kong Xiu said at this moment: "Everyone, don't believe their lies. Fang Jian is ruthless and will never let us go. Fighting means death, surrendering also means death. Why not die for the Holy Religion?!"
After hearing Kong Xiu's words, the looseness among the cultivators was immediately patched up and all the cultivators turned their eyes to the Dharma King.
Dharma Myo-o stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "We are all disciples of the Mahavairocana sect, deeply blessed by the Mahavairocana Buddha. If the Mahavairocana sect does not exist in the world, how can we survive in this world? It is better to fight for the holy teachings and live up to the Buddha's kindness."
After saying this, Dharma Myoko put his hands together and chanted loudly: "Namo Mahavairocana Buddha."
Afterwards, all the Buddhist monks in the cave, with determined eyes and resolute faces, put their palms together and chanted: "Namo Mahavairocana Buddha."
The messenger shouted three times, but there was still no response from the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, as if there was no living being inside at all.
Of course there couldn't be no living creatures inside, because the distance was so close that both sides could sense each other's aura.
"Your Majesty." The messenger returned to Fang Jian and bowed.
Fang Jian waved his hand, then looked at the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave below and said, "It seems that these remnants of the Great Sun Sect are determined to resist to the end."
Standing next to Fang Jian were the Five Virtues Star Gods. They had already completed their mission and naturally left Hei Hai Er. However, when they heard that Fang Jian was coming to wipe out the remnants of the Great Sun Sect, they did not immediately return to Heaven, but followed him directly.
"That's great." Fire Virtue Star Lord said, "The five of us can lend a hand to Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian smiled upon hearing this and said, "Oh? Well, I have to thank the Five Virtues Star Lord, but I can't give any credit to the five fellow Taoists."
"Hey, don't take credit for it, Master Hongqing. We..." Fire Deity Star Lord was halfway through his words when Gold Deity Star Lord quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, then together with Wood Deity Star Lord, they carried Fire Deity Star Lord aside.
At this time, Water Virtue Star Lord took over the Fire Virtue Star Lord's words and said with a smile: "We don't want you to record our merits, Master Hongqing. We just want to ask Master Hongqing for a favor."
"Oh?" Fang Jian looked at Shuide Xingjun in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?"
The Water Virtue Star Lord said, "The five of us have been on duty in the Zhoutian Star Region for a long time and haven't had a rest in a long time. We really want to ask for some time off to rest, but the Star Lords usually don't approve leave requests, so we would like to ask Master Hongqing to help us get some leave."
"Huh?" Fang Jian was greatly surprised when he heard this. "Are you kidding, Water Virtue Star Lord? If you want a vacation, you should ask the Grand Master for permission. I'm just the Heavenly Lord of the Western Heavenly Palace. How can I have that authority?"
The Water Virtue Star Lord smiled and said, "Master Hongqing, you naturally don't have that power, but you have something in your hand that has that power."
"What is that?" Fang Jian said, then paused and asked, "Jade Emperor Calendar?"
"Right, right, right." Water Virtue Star Lord said with a grin, "As long as Master Hongqing can stamp our memorial with the Jade Emperor's calendar seal, we can submit it to the Grand Envoy. The Grand Envoy has no right to reject or seal a memorial stamped with the Jade Emperor's calendar seal, so he can only agree."
After saying this, the Water Deity Star Lord had already taken out a memorial and spread it out in front of Fang Jian.
Fang Jian glanced at the memorial and was immediately startled. He then glared and said, "A hundred years? You must be joking! No way! Absolutely not!"
The Water Virtue Star Lord seemed to have anticipated Fang Jian's reaction, so he calmly put away the petition requesting a hundred years of leave and took out another one, saying, "This is it."
"Fifty years won't do!" Fang Jian said loudly after reading the second memorial. "You are the Star Lords. If anything happens to the stars under the Five Virtues Star Lords during this time, I can't be held responsible!"
The Water Deity Star Lord remained calm and took out another memorial from ten years ago.
After Fang Jian read it, he looked at Shuide Xingjun and said, "Just take out the memorial with the shortest time."
"Okay." Water Deity said with a smile.
Then the Water Deity Star Lord directly took out the petition requesting a month's leave. After Fang Jian read it, he reached out and took the petition.
