I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 393 - 393 You've Been Possessed

Lian Sheng's response made all the disciples in the Grand Hall gasp and turn to look at him in astonishment.

They had never seen such a recklessly bold character as Lian Sheng!

In front of Fa Kong and many other head masters, he actually dared to spout such nonsense, truly as if he had a death wish.

Fa Kong immediately angrily shouted, "Abbot, listen to this! How can this be acceptable!

Since when did our Great Compassion Temple rely on slaughter to save people? This is simply absurd and heretical!"

A tall, thin, middle-aged monk with long eyebrows coldly said, "Abbot, this Lian Sheng is naturally inclined to slaughter and has likely already fallen into the Demon Path.

And who are these people he claims to kill to save? Where are they?"

This long-eyebrowed monk was none other than Fa Ming, the head of the Prajnaparamita Hall of the Great Compassion Temple.

Lian Sheng smiled and said, "The people the disciple saves are in the future."

"Slick words, mystifying, he deserves to die!"

Fa Yan, the head of Vajra Hall, a martial artist as robust as a tower, glared at Lian Sheng with fiery eyes and bellowed like thunder.

With so many Grandmasters who had already refined their Martial Arts True Pills, and who were heads of their respective halls shouting for his death, Lian Sheng showed no trace of fear.

He simply shook his head gently and looked at Pu Du Zen Master, asking, "Master, do you also think your disciple deserves to die?"

Pu Du Zen Master sighed, pressed his palms together, and said with a sigh, "Lian Sheng, whether I think you should die is not important; what's important is what you think about yourself."

Lian Sheng shook his head and said, "Of course I shouldn't die. All those whom the disciple has killed have chosen their own deathly paths. Killing one to save ten, I think it's a good deal.

Of course, slaughter is the lesser path, and transformation is the greater one.

But as a disciple with shallow cultivation, I can only save people in this manner. Although it's not ideal, it's not incorrect.

There's another thing that Head Fa Ming got wrong. I did not kill just over five hundred people, but over a thousand.

It's just that those five hundred had identities and backgrounds, which is why Head Fa Ming is furious over their deaths.

The rest were bandits and Loose Cultivators, whom Head Fa Ming has overlooked.

So, Head Fa Ming, do you think I was right to kill those bandits and Loose Cultivators that you failed to mention?"

Great Compassion Temple is indeed a righteous major sect, and as a disciple who subdues demons and acts chivalrously, that is the most politically correct approach, which no one can refute.

Fa Ming coldly snorted, "It's fine that you killed those bandits, but that doesn't mean you can just replace one bandit with a person from the Martial World!"

Lian Sheng sighed and said, "Buddha said all beings are equal. Everyone I have killed had karma of murder on them.

Whether they were bandits or disciples of major sects, they were all equal in my eyes; I only distinguished by the severity of their murderous karma.

I kill only to save others.

Head Fa Ming faults me for killing, but you blame me for killing those who should not have been killed.

Head, you are mistaken."

In an instant, Fa Ming was rendered speechless by Lian Sheng.

The next moment, enraged and embarrassed, Fa Ming said directly, "Abbot, this Lian Sheng is sinister and ruthless, a born killer with deep-seated Killing Intent that he can't calm.

If we do not eliminate him now, he will surely become a great demon in the future, tarnishing the reputation of our Great Compassion Temple!

Disciple earnestly requests the Abbot to prioritize the greater picture, execute Lian Sheng, and let the true disciples of Great Compassion Temple re-emerge in the Martial World and restore our temple's glory!"

As these words were uttered, heads like Fa Ming of Prajnaparamita Hall and Fa Yan of Vajra Hall all shouted vehemently, "Please, Abbot, execute Lian Sheng and restore the glory of Great Compassion Temple!"

All the heads spoke out in unison, their authority unmatched.

Executing Lian Sheng was their intention, but their real purpose was to wrest control of the discourse from Pu Du Zen Master.

The worried look on Pu Du Zen Master's face was almost spilling out as he gently shook his head and said, "Why can't you understand?

As Buddhist disciples, the most important thing is to restrain our own desires.

You are filled with self-interest, how can I let you step into the Martial World?

The purpose of our Great Compassion Temple has never been to be famous in the Martial World; our temple's glory does not lie there.

Have you forgotten the lessons taught by Fa Jing? When one loses hold of their original mind, the consequences are unimaginable."

Fa Ming frowned and said, "Fa Jing, that bastard, colluded with the Demons, degenerating willingly. Should we bear all the mistakes because of one person's error?"

Moreover, abbot, you said we cannot restrain our desires in our hearts, then why can Lian Sheng step into the Martial World?

Could it be that he can restrain his Killing Intent? Are those he kills really the ones who should be killed?"

Master Pu Du nodded and said, "Lian Sheng can. He has preserved his true nature, not killing the innocent indiscriminately, only eliminating those who should be killed and saving those who should be saved."

Fa Ming scoffed and said, "Abbot, you are being somewhat biased. You say those he killed deserved it, but on what basis?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Would my testimony be enough?"

Han Zheng strode into the Grand Hall.

Upon seeing Han Zheng, Lian Sheng smiled warmly at him, pressing his palms together in a greeting.

Master Pu Du lifted his troubled face, slightly revealing a look of astonishment.

At this time, however, Fa Ming frowned at Han Zheng and said, "And who are you? Why should your testimony be valid for him?"

"Garrison Capital Commandant, Commander of Demon Cleansing Bureau's Kui Character Camp, Han Zheng!"

Han Zheng said indifferently, "On behalf of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, I testify that those killed by Master Lian Sheng were indeed those who deserved death. Isn't that enough?

How absurd, Great Compassion Temple is a holy Buddhist site, an orthodox major sect. Do you even need an internal trial to kill some villains?"

"You say it's so, then it is? What right does the Demon Cleansing Bureau have to intervene in the internal affairs of Great Compassion Temple?"

Fa Ming snorted coldly, not the least bit intimidated by Han Zheng's identity with the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Others might fear the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but Great Compassion Temple does not.

Back in the day, the ancestors of Great Compassion Temple were even invited by the Great Zhou Royal Family to preach in the Capital City. What significance is a local Demon Cleansing Bureau?

"The Demon Cleansing Bureau represents the law of Great Zhou. If words from the Demon Cleansing Bureau are not valid, then what is?

Could it be that only Master Fa Ming's words count? Master Fa Ming, how imposing you are, your words dictate the law, overshadowing the law of Great Zhou, even more potent than the orders of King of Heaven!"

Han Zheng scoffed, throwing accusation after accusation.

Upon arriving at Great Compassion Temple and seeing it hadn't fallen, Han Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there was no one guarding the entrance of the temple, and only when he reached the outside of Grand Hall did Han Zheng realize they were actually coercing Master Pu Du to kill Lian Sheng.

Back then, Lian Sheng had helped Han Zheng by blocking Sima Chengzong and now, with Lian Sheng under attack, Han Zheng couldn't stay out of it.

Most importantly, Han Zheng suspected that Black Mountain Demon had a hand in this.

Great Compassion Temple had closed its temple gate for sixty years without incidents, and now, as soon as Black Mountain Demon made a move, internal strife began immediately in Great Compassion Temple, an overly coincidental development.

Master Pu Du's reputation was well known; he definitely would not stand on Black Mountain Demon's side.

Therefore, Han Zheng was now clearly standing on the side of Master Pu Du and Lian Sheng.

Fa Ming's face turned dark.

Even if he was brazen, he wouldn't overtly claim to be above the law.

"Han Zheng! Even if you are from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, you have no right to meddle in Great Compassion Temple's private matters!

Please leave, Mr. Han. Great Compassion Temple needs to handle internal affairs now, and we don't have time to entertain Mr. Han!"

Fa Ming said sternly.

Han Zheng smiled noncommittally and said, "Chief Fa Ming, you are quite domineering. Master Pu Du hasn't even spoken, and yet you are already shooing people away?"

If Black Mountain Demon indeed intended to incite internal strife within Great Compassion Temple, then this aggressive Fa Ming was highly suspicious.

Han Zheng, if he were Master Pu Du, would definitely have first taken a hard stance to purge unstable elements within the sect.

However, if Master Pu Du were truly so ruthless, he would not be Master Pu Du.

This old monk was a genuine enlightened monk, and Han Zheng was very respectful towards him.

Pressing his palms together, Han Zheng greeted Master Pu Du and said solemnly, "I've seen the master. I came here this time to remind Great Compassion Temple, Black Mountain Demon has returned, attempting to use Secret Technique to plunder the Four Spirits Land in Southern Mountain, remodel his Demon Body, and transform completely.

Now Refining Blade has been breached, Cold Water Bai Family is suspected of colluding with Black Mountain Demon, Gale Valley has also fallen, and only Great Compassion Temple's Bottomless Cave remains untouched.

So I'm here to caution Great Compassion Temple to be very careful of Black Mountain Demon."
