Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 940 - 938: Celestial Dragon Temple, Finished!

"You all, come at me together!"

Xiao Yi beckoned Zhao and Zhao Wuji with a hooked finger, his face wearing a playful smile.

Both Xuan Cang and Guang Liang were beings at the peak of the Heaven Venerate Realm. With their combined strength, even if they faced a stronger adversary at the First-layer Supreme Realm, they would wield the power to fight.

Moreover, they both presided over a Buddhist Nation.

When had they ever encountered such provocation?

Xuan Cang's complexion turned gloomy enough to drip water, as he coldly laughed while looking at Fa Kong: "I've long heard that Shaolin Temple holds nothing in regard, completely ignoring the other three major Buddhist Nations. Now it seems truly so."

Guang Liang spoke thunderously, emphasizing each word: "Brother Xuan Cang, let me have the pleasure of experiencing the methods of the Shaolin Buddha King!"

Xuan Cang had once saved Guang Liang's life.

He had always looked up to Xuan Cang with great respect.

Now, seeing Xiao Yi show such contempt towards Xuan Cang, his benefactor was insulted, and Guang Liang naturally stepped forward.

Xuan Cang nodded solemnly, advicing: "Be cautious!"

"Don't worry!"

Guang Liang laughed heartily as he stepped forward, with each step golden Buddhist glyphs flew from his body, transforming into golden skin that branded his body's surface.

By the time he approached Xiao Yi, Guang Liang's body was already enveloped in a layer of golden hue.

His body, glimmering with brilliant golden light, appeared robust and sturdy.

The sound of clashing metal, reminiscent of iron striking iron, also emitted from him: "Doesn't Shaolin Temple always claim to be the representative of Western State Buddhist Sect? Let this venerable one see whether your Shaolin Temple's Golden Bell Shield or our Hanging Temple's Vajra Buddha Body is stronger!"

His fists collided fiercely in front of his chest.

Thud!

The deafening noise resounded like two hammers striking each other.

The terrifying sound waves radiated in all directions, shattering the vases in the hall to pieces.

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, smiling: "Vajra Buddha Body? Indeed, it has its unique points. However, this Transverse Refining Kung Fu, which is far inferior to the Golden Bell Shield, I fear won't even block a single finger of mine!"

"Arrogant!"

Guang Liang glared with eyes full of fury, his body radiating golden light, "I will stand right here and see how you dare to defeat me with one finger!"

"Annoying!"

Xiao Yi casually flicked a finger.

Endless silver light converged at the fingertip. At that moment, it seemed as if all the light in the world was overshadowed, leaving only that strand of silver on his fingertip.

Swoosh!

A sharp piercing sound sliced through the air.

The silver glow swirled, resembling a dazzling finger condensed from the galaxy, and with a pang, it struck Guang Liang's body.

Ahh...

Guang Liang trembled all over, the golden radiance around him shattering like glass, and as the golden light faded from his body, he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

His hands covering his stomach, he curled up on the ground, unable to move.

Xiao Yi looked towards Xuan Cang, the silver glow still throbbing at his fingertip. The pure silver light reflected on his face, making his already handsome face even more chiseled, his lips slightly curling as he said, "Now it's your turn!"

Hiss!

Xuan Cang sucked in a breath of cold air, his complexion turning a shade paler.

His strength was indeed a notch above Guang Liang's.

But...

Even if he attacked with all his might, at most he could suppress Guang Liang, but he would never achieve what Xiao Yi did—defeating Guang Liang, who had activated the Vajra Buddha Body, with just a single finger.

Realizing this.

Xuan Cang forced a smile, "Amitabha, this monk is no match for the Buddha King."

The proud abbot of Hanging Temple, a being at the peak of the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

He didn't even have the confidence to make a move against Xiao Yi.

However...

Within the vast Great Buddha Hall, not a single person scoffed at him.

After all.

The powerful figures present had all personally experienced Xiao Yi's terror and strength, even Fa Kong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, had been taught a lesson in humanity by Xiao Yi!

"Amitabha!"

With prayer beads in hand and a gentle smile on his face, Fa Kong said, "Xuan Cang, Guang Liang, you'll soon realize how wise your decision is!"

"Hm?"

Xuan Cang was startled, then chuckled bitterly, "With the Buddha King's strength, if the Celestial Dragon Supreme does not step in, flattening the Celestial Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom would naturally be effortless. However, there's something Xuan Cang doesn't understand!"

"But why would we need to cooperate with you given Shaolin Temple's strength? Crushing the Celestial Dragon Temple would be a walk in the park for us," Xiao Yi said with a smirk, revealing the doubt in Xuan Cang's heart.

Xuan Cang nodded.

That was the very point he could not comprehend; they did not wish to provoke the Celestial Dragon Supreme and would not vow to fight the Celestial Dragon Temple to the death.

But Shaolin Temple would not fear such confrontation!

Xiao Yi smiled without a word, merely glancing at Fa Kong beside him.

Fa Kong said softly, "Junior Brother Xuan Cang, the Buddha King is compassionate. He's acting this way simply to avoid a great slaughter!"

"A great slaughter?"

Xuan Cang was taken aback and frowned, "What does that have to do with a great slaughter?"

Little Lin, picking his teeth, said with a playful smile, "What our Shaolin Temple aims for is not just the destruction of the Celestial Dragon Temple, but to unify the entire Western State Buddhist Sect. If you don't see eye to eye with us, then we would have to eliminate three Buddhist Nations. Since you are willing to cooperate with us, naturally we only need to destroy one— the Celestial Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom!"

"..."

Xuan Cang and Guang Liang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

Gulp!

Xuan Cang swallowed hard, his face colored with disbelief: "You—you—you want to unify the Western Province's Buddhist Sect? Have you considered the consequences? How could Holy Spirit Mountain allow this to happen?"

Chanting "Amitabha," Fa Kong said indifferently, "I forgot to tell you, the Buddha King also has another identity. He is the successor to our Shaolin Temple's Supreme Shakya. He holds all the inheritances of Shaolin Temple's seventy-two arts and thirty-six Secret Techniques..."

Buzz!

The faces of Xuan Cang and the other changed rapidly.

Since the disappearance of the Hall of Longevity, and after Zhao Wuji shattered the Azure Heaven Continent, numerous forces lost their complete inheritances.

Today's Shaolin Temple has only one-third of its 108 inheritances left, and yet, even this one-third is enough to maintain Shaolin's position as the leader among the four great Buddhist Nations.

If all 108 inheritances were intact, how strong would Shaolin Temple be?

And more so.

These 108 complete inheritances could fully persuade the four Supreme Buddhas behind Shaolin Temple to stand firmly on Xiao Yi's side. Even if Holy Spirit Mountain wanted to protect the Celestial Dragon Supreme, they would have to consider whether those four exalted Buddhas would permit it!

If the support of the Supreme Buddhas behind Vajra Temple and Hanging Temple were also included.

Even if they flattened the Celestial Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom, the Celestial Dragon Supreme would not dare to utter a word of protest!

At this thought.

Both Xuan Cang and his companion breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that submitting to Xiao Yi was not so hard to accept after all, and their gazes toward Xiao Yi now contained a sense of awe.

Xiao Yi's gaze remained on the two of them.

Watching their every move closely.

Obviously, Xuan Cang and his companion were truly convinced by his strength, as well as the words of Little Lin and Fa Kong, so the cooperation that followed would naturally flow smoothly.

Xuan Cang asked, "Buddha King, do you have any plans for dealing with the Celestial Dragon Temple?"

They had originally thought to take advantage of the refining demon grounds to send troops to the Celestial Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom, seize a portion of the disciples, and extort some benefits.

But now...

Since they planned to annihilate the Celestial Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom, they naturally had to follow Xiao Yi's arrangements.

Xiao Yi's lips curved up slightly, and he raised a finger, slowly pointing forward. Numerous strands of silvery innate energy swirled before everyone, converging into a map that was the very geography of the Celestial Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom. Xiao Yi pointed to an area on the map: "We'll start from here…"

"What? The first target is to be this place?"

Everyone looked in the direction he indicated, as if they could already see the doomsday shadow looming over the Celestial Dragon Temple, each showing a look of pity, "The Celestial Dragon Temple is finished!"
