Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 947 - 945: The Ingenious Xiao Buddha King! [Third Update]

"Shaolin Temple, I am irreconcilably at odds with you!"

The eyes of the Celestial Dragon Supreme turned a blood-red hue as his furious roar echoed throughout the grand hall.

Were it not for the fact that each grand hall was incredibly vast and protected by Arrays, his roar alone would have sufficed to spread across the entire Spirit Mountain.

However...

Even though the words of the Celestial Dragon Supreme did not escape, the intensely fluctuating aura was still detected by the numerous powerful experts atop Spirit Mountain.

The four grand palaces of the Shaolin Temple's Four Buddha Supremes were connected in succession.

At this moment.

The Four Buddha Supremes of Shaolin Temple—Veda Supreme, Thousand Leaves Supreme, Prajna Supreme, and Bodhi Supreme—all converged in the palace of the Bodhi Supreme. Aside from these four ancestors of Shaolin,

Inside the Buddha palace, there were also Vajra Supreme and Hanging Sky Supreme.

The six Supremes gathered together.

They naturally sensed the intense fluctuation in the aura of the Celestial Dragon Supreme. With a glance exchanged between the six, they each saw the mirth in the others' eyes. Vajra Supreme frowned and said, "Qianye, we have fulfilled our promise to you and disregarded the plea of the Celestial Dragon. Now, can you give us the thing you promised?"

"And mine as well!"

The figure of Hanging Sky Supreme remained suspended midair. According to Hanging Sky Supreme, he had envied the birds that could fly freely since childhood, and therefore, after gaining the ability to fly, his feet had never touched the ground again.

This time.

After Xiao Yi became the Buddha King, he contacted the four ancestors of Shaolin through Fa Kong and replenished all the missing Secret Techniques and legacies of Shaolin Temple.

Because of this.

The four ancestors gave such strong support to Xiao Yi's actions.

They even went so far as to pay a heavy price to ally with Hanging Sky Supreme and Vajra Supreme to confront the Celestial Dragon Supreme.

Thousand Leaves Supreme took out two Storage Rings and handed them to the two men, each filled with a thousand Source Stones. Hanging Sky and Vajra Supreme examined the Source Stones in the Storage Rings and nodded in satisfaction, "The Source Stones are all accounted for. However, you promised us that after getting rid of Celestial Dragon Supreme, you'd give us the extra Buddha Supreme fruit position that becomes available!"

Vajra Temple and Hanging Temple have always been as close as branches on the same tree.

Yet, both their sides only possess two Buddha Supremes, while Shaolin Temple has as many as four.

And with the elimination of Celestial Dragon Supreme, that vacant Buddha Supreme position was another bargaining chip in their deal.

Bodhi Supreme nodded and said, "Rest assured, the four of us brothers would not stoop to deceiving you over such a matter!"

"We, of course, trust the four of you!" Vajra Supreme nodded in assent.

"Since it's settled, the two of us will take our leave first!"

Hanging Sky Supreme bowed toward the four and walked a few steps; his feet slightly paused before he turned back, "I advise you to remain wary of Celestial Dragon; his relationship with the future Buddha Mother is far from simple!"

"Thanks for the reminder!" Veda Supreme, with two lumps on his head, nodded with a smile.

"Farewell!"

Vajra and Hanging Sky Supremes left immediately.

Remaining in the grand hall were only the Four Buddha Supremes of Shaolin Temple.

The smile faded from Veda Supreme's face, and his expression bore a hint of worry as he looked at Prajna Supreme, "Elder Brother, Xiao Yi asked us to leave Celestial Dragon Supreme to him; could there be any problem?"

Celestial Dragon Supreme was a Fifth Layer Supreme Realm power.

Even among the four of them, only Prajna Supreme and Veda Supreme were absolutely confident in winning against him; the other two were merely on par.

Prajna Supreme stated expressionlessly, "Does it matter?"

"Hmm?"

Veda Supreme was taken aback.

Beside him, Thousand Leaves Supreme spoke with a hint of mockery, "What Elder Brother means is, whether Xiao Yi can handle Celestial Dragon is utterly unimportant. In the end, whoever wins or loses, it's us who will have the last laugh."

"It's merely a dog being used to fight a wolf. If the dog can kill the wolf and remain obedient, we can keep the dog. Even if the dog fails to defeat the wolf, as long as they wound each other, we can step in to reap the wolf. Isn't that the best of both worlds?" Bodhi Supreme toyed with his Buddha Beads, letting out a sinister laugh.

Veda Supreme frowned, hesitating, "But after all, he is Shakya's disciple..."

"Shut up!"

Prajna Supreme glared coldly at him, expressionless, "Dare to mention that name before me again, and do not blame me for disregarding brotherly affection!" He turned to Thousand Leaves Supreme, "I will enter seclusion first. Wake me when Buddha Realm opens. The rest is yours to handle!"

"Giving proper respect to Elder Brother!" Thousand Leaves Supreme and Bodhi Supreme quickly responded.

Prajna Supreme's figure flickered and vanished before their eyes.

Sighing, Qianye Supreme looked at Veda Supreme, who seemed somewhat aggrieved, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Veda, I know you feel guilty about the affairs of the past concerning Brother Shakya. But what happened in the past is beyond resolution, and no one knows whether Xiao Yi's arrival in the Western Province is for the sake of avenging his master. Moreover, nowadays, Brother Prajna is the foremost figure in Shaolin, so it's best not to provoke him!"

"I understand…"

Veda Supreme sighed, his expression revealing a touch of despondency as he turned to leave, yet no one noticed the chilling gleam in his eyes, "Brother Shakya, back then I was powerless, could only watch you being expelled from the Western Province. Now that your disciple has returned, this time, I will definitely help him!"

...

The core of the Heavenly Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom—The Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Black clouds enshrouded the area, and fierce winds whistled, bending the grasses of the entire mountain range.

In the midst of these lofty mountains.

A temple stood tall and imposing, stretching across the land, this was the Heavenly Dragon Temple.

The whole Temple was built along the mountainside, like an Azure Dragon coiling atop the mountain range.

The Western Province was vast and rich in resources but had far less population than the Southern State.

Even though the Heavenly Dragon Temple was one of the four great Buddhist Nations, the population within its borders was only about one billion, and only a tenth of those could be regarded as devout disciples.

And half of them were gathered in the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range.

On this day.

Xiao Yi led the armies of Shaolin Temple, Vajra Temple, and Hanging Temple to the borders, the massive Buddhist forces, together with tens of millions of devout followers from Ten Thousand Dragons City, created a human sea.

The terrifying oppression brought by their presence made the whole Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range sink into a particularly oppressive atmosphere.

Xuan Cang pointed towards the continuous expanse of the Heavenly Dragon Temple in the distance and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Buddha King, the Heavenly Dragon Temple lies within this Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range. As long as we take this place, we can go straight to the heart and sever the very foundation of the Temple's lineage!"

"However, I heard that the Celestial Dragon Supreme previously sent three top masters to the Temple, so taking it down may not be so easy!" Guang Liang furrowed his brow and expressed his worries.

The Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range was rugged and perilous, easy to defend but hard to attack.

To completely sever the lineage of the Heavenly Dragon Temple was indeed not an easy task.

Seeing the atmosphere getting somewhat heavy, Xiao Yi laughed and said, "With the combined forces of our three Buddhist Nations, this mere Heavenly Dragon Temple is nothing to worry about. Besides, after the Buddhist monks of the Heavenly Dragon Temple see the true hypocritical nature of the Celestial Dragon Supreme, they may choose to renounce darkness for light!"

"Renounce darkness for light?"

"Surrender without a fight? That's almost impossible, right?"

"There has never been a Buddhist Nation in the history of the Western Province that surrendered without a fight..." Xuan Cang and the others all shook their heads, thinking Xiao Yi was being overly optimistic.

However...

Just as they had finished speaking.

They saw a dense crowd surging forth from within the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range. Leading them was Hui Tian and his two companions, who upon seeing Xiao Yi and the others, hurried towards them at an increased pace.

"So the Heavenly Dragon Temple really intends to resist to the end!"

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!"

Xuan Cang, Fa Kong, and others looked cautious and ready.

But at that moment...

Charge-leading Hui Tian and his companions shouted, "Hold your hand, Xiao Buddha King, we have seen the true nature of the Celestial Dragon Supreme, and we choose to renounce darkness for light, coming here especially to surrender!"

"..."

Xuan Cang and the others were flabbergasted, exchanging looks of confusion.

Then looking at Xiao Yi, who appeared calm and collected as if holding a winning hand, everyone became respectful and admired, "Not only is Xiao Buddha King a role model for the Buddhist path, a light of righteousness, but he also calculates brilliantly like a prophetic strategist, truly the child of fortune!"

"No wonder Xiao Buddha King doesn't show the slightest bit of nervousness. It turns out he predicted the surrender of the people inside the Heavenly Dragon Temple in advance!"

"Prophetic strategist Xiao Buddha King, indeed a role model for us all..."

The gazes of all the strong figures towards Xiao Yi were filled with even greater fervor and reverence.

But what they didn't know...

At that moment, Xiao Yi himself was baffled; he had merely spoken casually to ease the tense atmosphere, who the fuck knew that Hui Tian and his men would actually come over to surrender?

I really just said it casually.

Why did you all take it seriously?

I really can't tell fortunes!
