Chapter 221: Duobao, you really are a spy!
"Amitabha!"
At this moment, the three 【Mighty Virtue Kings】 stood side by side, pressing their palms together simultaneously, as Buddhist light surged like a breached flood, instantly filling more than half the sky.
In an instant, the ground quaked and mountains trembled, and countless divine lights wrapped around the entire battlefield, giving rise to countless forms and appearances.
There were pavilions and towers, with endless chanting of sutras, as if the battlefield had suddenly transformed into an ancient Buddhist temple, and before their eyes stood a towering figure of an ancient lamp-bearing Buddha.
In the next moment, the ancient Buddha spoke:
"Good, good, my Buddha is merciful, spreading across hundreds of millions of worlds, manifesting countless forms to save all beings burdened by karma. All of you are fated with my Western Land."
As these words fell, a pair of eyes as vast as mountains landed upon Lü Yang.
"Hahaha!"
Below, Duobao Boy chanted a Buddhist mantra while revealing a smile, and the other True Persons of the 【Kingdom of Qing】 showed expressions of excitement.
"Who would have thought Duobao could really bring the Buddhist Sect here!"
"I misunderstood him before."
"With such a powerful reinforcement from the Buddhist Sect, a Great Arhat, this is the perfect opportunity to destroy the Demon Sect and teach these Jiangbei devils a lesson!"
In the next moment, the lamp-bearing ancient Buddha took a step forward.
The Five Elements True Person, Duobao Boy, the Black Iron Swordmaster, and others followed closely behind with sinister smiles, clearly intending to take advantage of the situation and strike a drowning enemy.
Seeing this scene, Lü Yang shook his head and formed a hand seal.
【Heavenly Mother’s Transformative Radiance】!
"Amitabha, Benefactor Lü, there is no need to resist anymore, hmm?"
The 【Vimalakirti Revered One】, who had originally intended to continue his preachings, was suddenly stunned.
He stared at the endless white radiance spreading from Lü Yang, his expression changing drastically.
"What is this...!?"
Before the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】 could finish his words, he saw the yang energy on the three men’s bodies suddenly reverse, transforming into the Great Yin Mother Body, freezing abruptly in midair.
The next instant, they exploded with a deafening roar!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah!!!"
The miserable cries of the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】 were instantly drowned in the explosion.
The lamp-bearing ancient Buddha vanished without a trace, and the three 【Mighty Virtue Kings】 turned into fireworks.
Seeing this, Lü Yang revealed a trace of delight, and without hesitation, he waved his wide sleeves, collecting all the broken limbs and remains of the three 【Mighty Virtue Kings】.
He planned to feed them to the Abyssal Sword later, hoping it might develop a special attack effect against the Buddhist Sect—these were all excellent materials, after all.
Only then did he turn to look at Duobao Boy and the others.
At this moment, however, the sinister smiles on Duobao Boy and the others' faces had completely frozen.
Just now, they had charged forward alongside the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】.
But now, the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】 was gone.
They had instantly fallen into the encirclement of the Jiangbei True Persons.
"What are you all standing around for? Attack!"
Lü Yang laughed loudly: "Daoist Duobao, your contributions this time are immense. You sabotaged the Dao Court, then the Sword Pavilion, and now the Pure Land. The Primordial Saint Sect will reward you handsomely in the future!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly showed expressions of realization.
"Duobao!!!"
The face of the Five Elements True Person twisted as he once again glared at Duobao Boy: "You are definitely a traitor! Speak! Have you long been colluding with Jiangbei?"
He had already figured it out!
The Dao Court sabotage needed no further explanation—if not for Duobao Boy, he would never have led the True Persons of the 【Kingdom of Qing】 to be tricked and slaughtered in Jiangbei.
As for sabotaging the Sword Pavilion, thinking back, when he had previously suggested that Lü Yang might ambush the Upper Profound Sword Sect, it had been Duobao who stepped out and dismissed his worries as unfounded.
And what happened?
The Upper Profound Sword Sect was truly destroyed!
If he had returned in time back then, might things have turned out differently?
As for sabotaging the Pure Land, that was exactly what was happening now.
Look at the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】—was he not miserably tricked enough?
Everyone had heard the tragic cries of that Great Arhat and Pure Land Revered One just now.
Thinking of this, the Five Elements True Person was seething with rage: "You beast! You beast!"
Duobao Boy: "..."
I'm not! I didn't! I'm innocent!
Though countless words filled his heart, Duobao Boy no longer had the mood to explain.
He didn’t even understand why the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】 had disappeared.
How could they lose like this?
But there was one thing he was very clear about—he truly wasn’t a spy for the Primordial Saint Sect.
So if he stayed here any longer, he would surely die without a grave!
On the other side, the True Person of Yinshan revealed a look of amazement.
To be honest, when the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】 appeared, he had already given up hope.
Who would have thought that Lü Yang didn’t even clash with him directly?
He had merely used a strange Daoist art to effortlessly dismantle the opponent’s means.
At the same time, the True Persons of Jiangbei were also invigorated.
With Lü Yang’s generous rewards before them, they all knew that every 【Kingdom of Qing】 True Person they captured would earn them greater benefits.
What more needed to be said?
"Kill!"
In an instant, the entire 【Kingdom of Qing】 army collapsed like a mountain.
All Foundation Establishment True Persons scattered and fled, using all their abilities.
The Qi Refining disciples, however, were slaughtered in droves.
Zhalong Pass, fallen!
Half a day later, everything had settled.
Lü Yang stood atop Zhalong Pass, silently pondering in his heart:
"With Zhalong Pass fallen, the monopoly of spiritual energy by the 【Kingdom of Qing】 has been broken. Strictly speaking, the mission entrusted to me by True Person Chong Guang is already complete."
After all, True Person Chong Guang hadn’t asked him to wipe out the 【Kingdom of Qing】 in one strike.
His goal was to apply pressure from the outside as much as possible.
With Zhalong Pass broken, the path south toward the capital of the 【Kingdom of Qing】 was now wide open.
This alone was enough to plunge the entire 【Kingdom of Qing】 into a state of panic.
"Unfortunately, there’s already a new mission."
The latest novel is first released on Liú 9 Book Bar!
Thinking of this, Lü Yang once again took out the 【Invisible Sword】.
The hidden metallic nature and mysterious power within the sword constantly reminded him of what he was supposed to do next.
【Assassinate the King】.
Unsurprisingly, this was the second task entrusted to him by Chong Guang.
"Assassinating the King of Qing… this really is forcing the impossible."
Lü Yang shook his head.
How could the King of Qing be so easy to kill?
Not only was he surrounded by layers of guards and countless formations, but he also possessed immense personal power.
Unless the King of Qing left the capital and came alone.
Otherwise, just sneaking into that imperial palace was already nearly impossible.
Even if the Invisible Sword could break through his protective means, it would still be futile.
After pondering for a moment, Lü Yang decided to set this matter aside for now.
"Since True Person Chong Guang entrusted me with this mission, he must have considered this as well and prepared the corresponding means. It’s just that the time has not yet come."
"For example, that Pure Land Revered One this time..."
Lü Yang suspected that the Pure Land was most likely set up by True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
That a Pure Land Revered One just happened to appear, and he just happened to have acquired a Daoist art from the Manifest Law Pavilion that could counter him.
Just thinking about it made Lü Yang’s back turn cold.
In the next moment, Lü Yang flicked his wrist and took out the remains of the three 【Mighty Virtue Kings】 who had been transformed into female bodies and self-destructed earlier.
However, to Lü Yang’s disappointment, the powers of the three 【Mighty Virtue Kings】 all came from the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】 of the Pure Land.
And with the withdrawal of the 【Vimalakirti Revered One】's power, the so-called 【Mighty Virtue Kings】 revealed their true nature—they were merely mediums used for descent.
Without their mastermind, they were nothing.
Thus, even if he used the Abyssal Sword to slay all three, he would gain nothing in return.
Even collecting them into the Myriad Spirits Banner would only waste space for the banner’s spirits.
But Lü Yang wasn’t entirely empty-handed.
"This is..."
Looking at the scattered remains, Lü Yang’s eyes flickered as they landed on the Pure Land scriptures carved onto the bodies of these 【Mighty Virtue Kings】.
With a sweep of his divine sense, the scriptures quickly pieced themselves together.
Its name was:
"【Return to the Right Dharma】?"
Lü Yang quickly skimmed through it and finally understood its purpose.
In short, this scripture could summon the divine will of a Pure Land Revered One to descend!
The so-called 【Return to the Right Dharma】 was a method created by the Pure Land specifically for their external agents.
It was used to entice and recruit more people into the Pure Land.
As long as the scripture was recited, the divine will of a Pure Land Revered One could descend to enlighten cultivators, turning them into Buddhist cultivators of the Pure Land.
Seeing this, Lü Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
This thing seemed perfect for setting a trap.
