Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 170 The Old Living Buddha Cleanses the House! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations!)

"Benefactor, please quickly donate incense money and make offerings to Buddha!"

Just as the gatekeeper monk was urging Cao Meng to pay, hoping to complete the transaction of over 200,000 spirit stones, Cao Meng suddenly kicked him away.

Cao Meng was furious. You should know that in his hometown, the starting price for a monk to talk about marriage was only 18,000 yuan!

And the connection with Jinfo Temple is a whopping 108,888, and the key point is that it's not rounded down!

"Bald monk, I'll play with you. You really think I'm some kind of bastard?"

Now that they've come this far, Cao Meng is no longer going to pretend with these bald monks and is going to lay his cards on the table.

"How dare you make a move in a sacred Buddhist site!"

When the monks of Jinfo Temple saw that Cao Meng dared to make a move, they immediately took out their cudgels and surrounded Cao Meng and the old Living Buddha.

Don't even think about leaving today without tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones!
"I think it's you guys who have the guts!"

Even though he was surrounded by a group of Nascent Soul stage monks, Cao Meng was not flustered at all, after all, the old living Buddha was next to him.

Although Cao Meng did not know the old Living Buddha's specific cultivation level, he believed that since the old Living Buddha dared to bring him here to cause trouble, he must have the strength to suppress the Golden Buddha Temple.

"He is the Holy Body of the Hehuan Sect!"

Among the pilgrims, one named Zhou Cheng recognized Cao Meng. This was the first time Zhou Cheng had seen Cao Meng in person; he had previously seen Cao Meng's image in some memorial stones!

Cao Meng's face immediately darkened: "I have a name, Cao Meng, not Furnace Saint Body!"

After being reminded by the pilgrim Zhou Cheng, the monks of Jinfo Temple also remembered Cao Meng's background.

"He is Cao Meng, who possesses the mutated Great Sun Holy Body and the innate Geng Metal Body!"

"Capture him alive and sell him to the female cultivator!"

The leading Nascent Soul stage monk issued orders to the other monks: although there were no female cultivators in the Golden Buddha Temple, it didn't mean they couldn't capture Cao Meng and sell him for money.

You must know that this is the Furnace Saint Body! As long as they capture Cao Meng, a bunch of female cultivators will come looking for them!

"Old Living Buddha, this Eastern Buddhist sect is not only preying on the masses, but has also started kidnapping people. You should do something about it!"

Cao Mengchao said to the old Living Buddha that he did not intend to continue to intervene, after all, he was an outsider and it was not appropriate for him to do so!
It's best to let the old Buddha Xuan Yu handle the matter of cleaning house.

"Ugh!"

The old Living Buddha Xuan Yu sighed and shook his head helplessly. He didn't know why the Buddhist cultivators in the Eastern Dao Continent had become like this.

"Disperse!"

The old Living Buddha flicked the prayer beads in his hand, and beams of Buddhist light flew out and landed on them, instantly dissipating their cultivation.

"My cultivation!"

"I don't want to die!"

After their spiritual cultivation was dispelled, these monks were stripped of their vitality and began to cry out.

Because what the old Living Buddha destroyed was not their spiritual cultivation, but their lives!
These people were already quite old, and now that they have lost their cultivation, their physical bodies will also suffer from the loss of spiritual energy, causing their lifespan to plummet back to that of ordinary people.

These people have lost their cultivation. If they cannot quickly restore their cultivation or take pills to prolong their lifespan, they will soon die of old age due to the exhaustion of their lifespan.

After dealing with these wicked monks, the Venerable Living Buddha Xuanyu shouted in a telepathic voice:
"You all come out quickly and debate with this old monk. If you can win the debate, then..."

This old monk may preserve the lineage of your Golden Buddha Temple; otherwise, don't blame this old monk for severing your lineage!

Cao Meng knew this was the last chance the old Living Buddha was giving Jinfo Temple, but he felt that this chance was essentially not given at all.

With the evidence laid bare, Jinfo Temple had no chance to clear its name. Soon, the current abbot of Jinfo Temple, Shikong, appeared with the heads of the various halls of the temple, as well as the senior monks of the West Hall and the Back Hall, confronting Cao Meng and the old Living Buddha Xuanyu.

Abbot Shikong turned his gaze directly to the old Living Buddha and asked:
"Master, may I ask which temple you come from?"

As for Cao Meng, Shi Kong simply chose to ignore him. Wasn't he just a little devil from the Hehuan Sect?
This little devil, despite being a furnace cauldron of holy body, dares to cause trouble at the Golden Buddha Temple instead of staying in the Joyful Union Sect. I'll capture him and sell him for money in a bit!
As for the warning from the Corpse Yin Sect, Shi Kong was not afraid at all. After all, the Corpse Yin Sect said that those above the Nascent Soul stage were not allowed to attack Cao Meng, but he, being at the Nascent Soul stage, was fully capable of doing so.

“Abbot Shikong, this old monk came with the demon Cao Meng. He is an evil monk!”

Upon seeing Abbot Shikong, the pilgrims turned into fanatical believers, belittling Xuanyu, the old living Buddha, as an evil monk.

These pilgrims were less followers of Buddha and more followers of Abbot Shikong.

This is the Eastern Dao Continent. If it were the Western Buddhist Continent, these pilgrims would surely have torn these blasphemers to pieces if they dared to say that the old Living Buddha was an evil monk!

"This Zen master should lay down his butcher's knife and repent before he reaches the shore!"

Abbot Shikong did not act immediately, but instead advised the old Living Buddha.

It wasn't that he was compassionate, but rather that he couldn't see through the old Living Buddha's cultivation.

Given his cultivation level of the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the fact that he couldn't see through the old Living Buddha's actions suggests only two possibilities:
First, his cultivation level is far superior to his; second, the other party possesses a treasure that conceals his cultivation level or a cultivation technique that conceals his aura.

Because he couldn't see through the old Living Buddha's cultivation level, he had many concerns and was unwilling to take the initiative.

"Evil monks, demons! Abbot Shikong has shown you great mercy, you must surrender immediately!"

Those ignorant pilgrims mistakenly believed it was Abbot Shikong Cibei of Jinfo Temple, unaware that they were simply wary of the old Living Buddha's power.

"Utterly ignorant!"

"The Living Buddha is right in front of you, yet you don't recognize him, instead mistaking a heretical monk for a high monk!"

Cao Meng felt that these pilgrims were beyond saving and that they could donate their eyes.

When I first met the old Living Buddha, I felt that he possessed a Buddha-nature and was an enlightened monk.

"Living Buddha!!!"

Upon hearing the title "Living Buddha," Shi Kong's heart trembled, and he immediately rebuked him:
"Stop talking nonsense! Living Buddhas are all in the Western Regions, how could they appear in my Eastern Regions!"

Shi Kong naturally knew what a Living Buddha was, but all Living Buddhas lived in the Western Regions, the Buddhist Continent.

The Western Buddhist Continent is separated from the Eastern Dao Continent by another continent, so under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a Living Buddha to come to the Eastern Dao Continent.

Shi Kong initially had some reservations, but after receiving instructions from his fellow disciples, he decided to take action.

"You old monk, you injured a monk from my Golden Buddha Temple. I originally did not intend to pursue the matter, but now that you have dared to impersonate a Living Buddha, I must suppress you today and let you know that a Living Buddha is not to be offended!"

After loudly rebuking and accusing the old Living Buddha, and accusing him of crimes, Shi Kong immediately revealed a Buddha image hundreds of feet tall, which struck the old Living Buddha with a palm.

"Unrepentant!"

The old Living Buddha snorted coldly and pointed out with one finger.

The old Living Buddha casually pointed, and that single point possessed the power to move mountains and fill seas, crushing the Buddha image of Shikong.

As soon as the Dharma form shattered, Shi Kong was immediately struck by a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Shi Kong clutched his chest, pointed at the old Living Buddha, and said:
"You're above the Nascent Soul stage, what exactly is your cultivation level?"

Although Shi Kong did not know what realm the old Living Buddha was, he was now certain that the other party's cultivation was definitely above the Nascent Soul stage.
