Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 939 - 937: All of You, Attack Together!

At the summit of Mount Shaoshi, the Great Buddha Hall.

Here, the supreme Buddha and Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Holy Land are enshrined, flanked by the statues of the five ancestors of Shaolin on both sides.

At the moment...

Xiao Yi sits upright in the foremost meditation cushion, his back facing the direction of the Great Buddha Hall's entrance.

Little Lin and Monk Jie Se stand to his left and right, silent; yet upon close inspection, it becomes apparent that Little Lin is already on the verge of sleep.

Monk Jie Se, however, maintains a devout posture, being a true person of the Buddhist faith, with an identity and mindset wholly different from that of Xiao Yi.

To their left and right sit Fa Kong and the nine leading figures, each manifesting an earnest demeanor.

"Shaolin Buddha King, Master Guangliang of Vajra Temple, and Master Xuancang of Hanging Temple seek an audience!" Fazhen's respectful voice came from outside.

Fazhen, capable of serving as the head of Reception Hall, is indeed tactful and excels in understanding people's hearts. Within Shaolin Temple, he was the first to express his loyalty to Xiao Yi.

In front of the gate.

Master Guangliang and Master Xuancang exchange glances, both seeing astonishment and shock in each other's eyes,

for they naturally saw Fa Kong, who is now seated at a lower position.

As abbots from one of the four great Buddhist nations, they are extremely familiar with Fa Kong— an entity who controlled Shaolin Temple for thousands of years, whose cultivation even surpasses theirs.

They also understand the true nature of Fa Kong— despite his compassionate appearance, he is an entity that truly devours without spitting bones.

If he obediently sits at a lower position, it must mean that the Buddha King indeed possesses formidable methods, truly making him submit.

"Enter!"

Xiao Yi's indifferent voice echoes in the empty hall.

Fazhen gestures towards the two, "Please, come in!"

Whoosh!

Master Guangliang and Master Xuancang look at each other and step shoulder to shoulder into the Great Buddha Hall.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two meditation cushions fly forward, landing in front of the two masters.

This causes both masters to squint their eyes, a hint of shock flashing deep within.

After all, they are existences at the Heavenly Venerate Realm Peak.

But...

Just now in the hall, they hadn't detected any energy fluctuations, yet the meditation cushions had landed right in front of them.

Had the other's target been to kill them, it would undoubtedly have been done without heaven or earth being aware.

At this thought.

Both of them couldn't help but feel cold sweat roll down their backs.

"Please, take a seat!"

Xiao Yi turns to face them and makes a welcoming gesture.

Suppressing the shock in their hearts, they sit on the meditation cushions, yet their gaze is in sync as they scrutinize Xiao Yi.

"You are the Shaolin Buddha King?" Master Guangliang inquires.

Xiao Yi nods with a smile.

Hiss!

Even though they had already known the outcome, the fact that Xiao Yi admits it openly still sends a shock through them.

At such a young age, he was able to suppress the traditionally dominant Fa Kong, becoming the Buddha King of Shaolin Temple, the leader of the four great Buddhist nations of the West Continent.

This is truly unprecedented in the history of the West Continent!

Master Xuancang ponders for a moment before asking, "May I ask the Buddha King, what is the purpose of inviting us here?"

How Xiao Yi became the Buddha King is, after all, an internal affair of Shaolin Temple.

Besides feeling shocked, they had no other thoughts.

Xiao Yi's smile lingers as he looks right at Master Xuancang, recalling Fa Kong's evaluation of Xuancang.

This man is undoubtedly a talented leader!

Under the guidance of his late master, Hanging Temple was already on the decline, on the verge of being replaced by Azure Cloud Temple and losing its status as one of the four great Buddhist nations.

It was Master Xuancang who took over Hanging Temple in times of crisis and single-handedly reversed its misfortunes, rescuing it from peril.

Under Master Xuancang's leadership, Hanging Temple has not only maintained its status among the four great Buddhist nations but has also surpassed Vajra Temple and Celestial Dragon Temple, second only to Shaolin Temple.

Furthermore, as Master Xuancang once saved Master Guangliang, Vajra Temple has always looked up to Hanging Temple.

To have them cooperate, convincing Master Xuancang would be sufficient!

With this in mind.

Xiao Yi speaks, "I heard Master Xuancang plans to make a move against Celestial Dragon Temple?"

Master Xuancang frowns slightly and glances at Master Guangliang, signaling him to stay calm, and replies with composure, "That is so. Why? Does the Buddha King wish to mediate?"

Xiao Yi waves his hand, "Master Xuancang, you may have misunderstood. I do not wish to reconcile, but rather seek to cooperate with you both."

"Cooperation?"

Guang Liang was taken aback.

Master Xuancang's eyebrows also tightly knit, his eyes showing a hint of confusion: "What kind of cooperation do you have in mind?"

Xiao Yi tapped his fingers lightly against his knee, soundless, yet with each tap, an invisible force seemed to strike at the hearts of those present.

It felt as if someone was gripping their hearts.

Breathing, heartbeats, everything seemed to be led by the nose.

This made Master Xuancang's face slightly change; the sensation of having everything under someone else's control was seriously unsettling. Just as Master Xuancang almost couldn't help but erupt, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped tapping his fingers and said: "Three parties join forces, to flatten Celestial Dragon Temple!"

Buzz!

With these words, the atmosphere inside the Great Buddha Hall instantly solidified.

Destroy the Celestial Dragon Temple?

The Celestial Dragon Temple was regarded as one of the four great Buddhist Nations alongside them.

Even though the Celestial Dragon Temple had become involved with the demonic path and a demonic refining ground had been discovered within the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom, they had not considered destroying the Celestial Dragon Temple.

They only wanted to force the Celestial Dragon Temple to make concessions, to yield sufficient benefits and interests to them.

After all.

Behind the Celestial Dragon Temple, there was a Celestial Dragon Supreme.

If the Celestial Dragon Temple were truly annihilated, completely enraging the Celestial Dragon Supreme, the consequences would be more than they could bear.

Exactly because of this.

They had never imagined...

That Xiao Yi invited them to Shaolin Temple for the purpose of flattening Celestial Dragon Temple?

Master Xuancang stated coldly: "I apologize, but we of Hanging Mountain have never considered flattening Celestial Dragon Temple; Buddha King, please refrain from mentioning this again!"

"Same goes for my Vajra Temple!" said Guang Liang indifferently.

The two then stood up.

Master Xuancang gave a cupped fist salute to Xiao Yi: "Buddha King, we have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave now..."

"Farewell!"

The two of them promptly stood up and were about to leave.

However...

There were several figures dashing in front of them, it was Monk Fakong leading a group of Shaolin Temple masters, effectively blocking their way out.

Master Xuancang's face turned grim, looking towards Xiao Yi: "Buddha King, what is the meaning of this?"

Xiao Yi rose up slowly, his gaze level with the two men: "As long as you agree to cooperate with me, to flatten the Celestial Dragon Temple, sever its lineage, and seize its followers. My Shaolin Temple doesn't want a single grass or tree from the Celestial Dragon Temple, all benefits will belong to you..."

"This..."

The expressions on their faces changed slightly.

How substantial could the benefits of a Buddhist Nation be?

As the rulers of their own Buddhist Nations, they naturally understood this very well.

If they truly could absorb all the benefits of the Celestial Dragon Temple, their power would rise to another level; even they couldn't help but be somewhat tempted. However, the thought of an enraged Celestial Dragon Supreme made them shake their heads emphatically.

Guang Liang said: "My Vajra Temple cannot agree to cooperate with you!"

"Buddha King, the Celestial Dragon Supreme backing the Celestial Dragon Temple is not someone to be trifled with. If you wish to seek death, do not drag us into it..." Master Xuancang spoke emphatically and with resonance in his words.

Merely subjugating the Celestial Dragon Temple, demanding accountability and compensation for the demonic refining grounds, would not make the Celestial Dragon Supreme go berserk.

But to annihilate the lineage of the Celestial Dragon Temple.

That would mean a bitter, unending feud!

However...

Facing their repeated rejections, Xiao Yi smiled slightly, leaning forward, laughing: "You're worried about the retaliation of the Celestial Dragon Supreme, but aren't you afraid of angering me?"

"You?"

The two were startled.

Master Xuancang laughed loudly: "Buddha King, perhaps you indeed have formidable strength, having even brought the Abbot Fakong to his knees. However, I don't mean any offense, but compared with the Celestial Dragon Supreme, you are like the clouds in the sky to the mud on the ground, there is simply no comparison!"

That's the Celestial Dragon Supreme!

One of the Supreme Venerables among Buddhas.

In contrast to Xiao Yi...

He doesn't even possess Supreme Cultivation!

Xiao Yi let out a light sigh: "I, Xiao Yi, have always been one to conquering hearts with virtue. I've never been one to resort to violence lightly, however, since you doubt my strength, I suppose I can no longer keep concealed..."

"Hm?"

Master Xuancang frowned, "What? Buddha King, do you wish to fight me?"

"No, no, no!"

Xiao Yi laughed lightly, shaking his head, then pointed at them with his finger, and calmly said, "Both of you, come at me together!"
