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

Chapter 172 The Cowardly Patriarch of Jinfo Temple! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations!)
“Your Golden Buddha Temple, under the guise of my Buddhist sect, use the techniques of my Western Buddhist sect to commit atrocities and prey on the masses. This old monk has the right to intervene!”

The old Living Buddha originally thought that the elders of Jinfo Temple might simply be unaware of the situation, and at most, guilty of oversight.

It now appears that the founders of these Golden Buddha Temples tacitly approved of their disciples' exploitation of the masses, and even directly participated in it.

At this moment, the old Living Buddha was extremely disappointed with the Golden Buddha Temple.

They felt that Jinfo Temple was beyond saving and should not exist anymore.

"hehe!"

Fa Yun sneered and mocked:
"Fellow Daoist, both the righteous and demonic sects in the Eastern Dao Continent are drinking blood and eating meat. What's wrong with my Golden Buddha Temple drinking blood and eating meat?"
How can our Golden Buddha Temple maintain its top-tier sect strength if it doesn't drink blood and eat meat?

If a sect cannot maintain its strength as a top-tier sect, it will only become prey for other sects. How can it then help all living beings?

In fact, Jinfo Temple initially thought of taking it upon itself to save all sentient beings, but in the great melting pot of the Eastern Region Daozhou, their original pure hearts had long been tainted by darkness.

"absurd!"

Upon hearing the absurd remarks of Dharma King, the old Living Buddha was filled with rage.

"Old Living Buddha, these fellows are all stubborn and unyielding. We've crippled their cultivation, turning them into mortals so they can experience the suffering of ordinary beings!"

At times like these, Cao Meng wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

The Golden Buddha Temple dared to charge Cao Meng for admission; they should pay the price.

"Young friend, you are right!"

The Venerable Living Buddha Xuan Yu nodded in agreement. As a Buddhist monk, Fa Yun's ability to utter such heretical and fallacious doctrines showed that he had gone astray and was beyond redemption.

If we preserve his cultivation, he will one day bring disaster to all living beings.

"You old monk, do you really think we're afraid of you?"

With a loud shout, Fa Yun unleashed his cultivation at the seventh level of the Void Refining stage, manifesting a Buddha Dharma over seven thousand feet long.

Chi Nian and other Void Refinement stage elders also manifested Buddha images several thousand feet long, with each Buddha image towering between heaven and earth.

More than twenty Buddha statues uttered Sanskrit chants, as if the Buddha's kingdom had descended to earth, attempting to refine the old Living Buddha with Sanskrit chants!
Faced with the onslaught of more than twenty Void Refinement stage cultivators, the old Living Buddha Xuan Yu remained unperturbed.

He took out the rosary bracelet in his hand, and the rosary emitted a great Buddhist light. Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, the true form of the Buddha who had perished was revealed.

These images of Buddha have lost their compassion, revealing sharp teeth and claws instead of compassionate hands.

The chanting of hymns has turned into the whispers of demons!
This is the true face of Fa Yun and others. They were never enlightened monks; they were demons in robes!
The old Living Buddha's prayer beads broke off, and flew out to attack the evil Buddha image of the Dharma King and his followers.

"Roar!"

The evil Buddha images of the Fallen Buddhas roared like wild beasts, and their roars became their final wails.

The prayer beads were like an indestructible divine weapon, ruthlessly shattering the evil Buddha images and destroying the thousands of years of cultivation of the Dharma Fallen people.

"My father and the ancestors' cultivation levels have also been destroyed!"

Seeing his father, Chi Nian, and other ancestors, including Fa Yun, having their cultivation crippled, Shi Kong found it hard to accept the outcome.

You must know that the Venerable Refinement stage elders, including Fa Yun, are the foundation of the Golden Buddha Temple!
Now that even the Void Refinement stage elders have been crippled, what will become of the Golden Buddha Temple?
No, is there a future?
After Fa Yun and his group had their cultivation crippled, they glared at the old Living Buddha with resentment. The reason they dared to harbor resentment was because they still had one last trump card.

As long as this trump card remains, Jinfo Temple will not be defeated!

"After observing for so long, why haven't they shown up yet?"

After the Living Buddha Xuan Yu raised his hand and withdrew the prayer beads, he shouted in one direction. He had already noticed that there were still people hiding in the void watching!

The person practiced Buddhist techniques and his skillful movements had reached the first level of the Unity Realm, making him undoubtedly the patriarch of the Golden Buddha Temple. Upon realizing he had been discovered, the patriarch of the Golden Buddha Temple, Zen Master Shi Hua, could only tear through space and emerge from the void.

"Ancestor Shi Hua!"

Fa Yun and the other elders whose cultivation had been crippled immediately bowed and paid their respects to Zen Master Shi Hua. They were now counting on Zen Master Shi Hua to help them get revenge.

Zen Master Shi Hua ignored them, and bowed to the old Living Buddha with his hands clasped together, saying:
"Please leave, Zen Master. This old monk can pretend that none of this ever happened!"

Should we step in to help Fa Yun and his gang avenge themselves?
You must be joking. The problem that Zen Master Shihua is facing is the same as their previous problems: they can't see through the old Living Buddha's cultivation.

Judging from the methods the other party used to cripple Fa Yun, and the circumstances under which the other party discovered this, it's clear that...

Zen Master Shi Hua estimated that the old Living Buddha's cultivation had definitely reached the Integration Stage, and that his cultivation was even higher than his own.

Under these circumstances, Zen Master Shihua naturally did not want to fight with the old Living Buddha; turning hostility into friendship was the best option.

As for the fact that Fa Yun's cultivation was crippled, Zen Master Shi Hua felt that it was a minor matter. In any case, as long as he was still in Jinfo Temple, it would still be a top-tier sect.

"Will you cripple your own cultivation, or will this old monk intervene?"

Because Zen Master Shi Hua had been secretly observing, the old Living Buddha knew that Zen Master Shi Hua had been aiding and abetting evil!

The old Living Buddha has been giving him chances. If the other party shows up and frankly admits his mistake immediately, the old Living Buddha will give him a lenient treatment.

However, his unwillingness to admit his mistake and his desire to settle things peacefully led the old Living Buddha to decide to punish him.

"Fellow Daoist, do you truly wish for a battle, a fight to the death?"

When Zen Master Shi Hua saw that the old Living Buddha was unwilling to settle the matter peacefully, he frowned.

"You obtained the first level of the Integration Stage cultivation through clever means, yet you can be annihilated by this old monk with a flick of his wrist!"

The old Living Buddha shook his head helplessly, feeling that Zen Master Shihua was far too ignorant and arrogant.

"In that case, this old monk will gladly experience the profound Buddhist teachings of my fellow Daoist!"

Seeing that he was being so disrespected, Zen Master Shihua could no longer hold back his pride and decided not to tolerate it any longer.

"Great Compassion Buddha's Palm!"

Unable to fathom the old Living Buddha's cultivation level, Zen Master Shi Hua dared not underestimate his opponent. He directly manifested a Dharma form over ten thousand feet tall and attacked the old Living Buddha and Cao Meng with a palm strike imbued with the power of heaven and earth.

"There is not a trace of compassion in your Great Compassion Buddha Palm, only murderous intent!"

After the old Living Buddha broke through the move with a single thought, a great sun rose up behind him.

A Buddha image, towering in the heavens and entwined with thunder dragons, appeared; the great sun was also the Buddha's radiant form.

The imposing image of Zen Master Shi Hua appears so insignificant and insignificant compared to the image of the Great Sun Buddha of the Old Living Buddha.

"The Dharma Form is entangled with lightning, could it be the Tribulation Transcending Stage?!"

Zen Master Shi Hua was terrified. He had thought the old Living Buddha was also at the Integration Stage, but now he saw that the other party's Dharma Form was hundreds of thousands of feet long and his body was wrapped in lightning.

This undoubtedly proves one thing: the old Living Buddha is at least in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and is in the Tribulation Transcending stage where he is undergoing the baptism of heavenly lightning!

After learning that the old Living Buddha was at the Tribulation Transcending stage, Shi Hua lost all will to fight and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Please, Senior Transcending Tribulation, spare my life! I am willing to serve you as a slave for eternity and hand over the Golden Light Temple!"

The opponent is at the Tribulation Transcending stage, how can someone at the first level of Integration stage fight him?
If the other party wants to crush you, one finger is enough, so kowtowing and begging for mercy is the right thing to do!
