Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

"Hiss! What a powerful Buddhist seal!"

The demon reached out to break the seal on the Buddha statue, but the moment he touched it, he was met with a powerful counterforce.

The black hand had been mostly purified, which made him exclaim in surprise.

"This seal was left by a powerful Buddhist monk at the cost of his life to seal the Great Evil King. With your power, you are not yet able to touch it," Xu Qing said calmly.

"Those bald monks in Buddhism are disgusting!"

Buddhist martial arts are mostly masculine and powerful, possessing a strong ability to restrain evil.

A being like the Demon Lord naturally harbors no goodwill towards Buddhism.

"Let's go back to the World Society first."

With a wave of his hand, Xu Qing sent the Demon Lord back into the Fire Kirin Sword, continuously amplifying its malevolent and evil aura.

Then, with the compassionate Buddha, he tore through the void once more and took Qin Shuang away from this desolate land.

The world will meet.

The void cracked open, and Xu Qing and Qin Shuang stepped out.

The Mud Bodhisattva was waiting there early on, with the resurrected Jian Yue beside him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on obtaining the power of the Heavenly Cry Scripture." The Mud Bodhisattva bowed and offered his congratulations.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Jian Yue returned the greeting.

"You haven't left yet?" Xu Qing asked, somewhat surprised.

The Mud Bodhisattva hasn't left yet. Isn't this guy always fond of a secluded life?

"Your Majesty, may I join the World Alliance?"

The clay bodhisattva reveals his intention.

The World Society is the strongest force in the martial arts world today, making it arguably the safest place.

Most importantly, join the World Society and serve the Supreme One. The Supreme One should not ignore the pain caused by the curse.

After much deliberation and weighing the pros and cons, Mud Bodhisattva decided to join the World Society.

“Alright, then you shall stay and perform divination for my disciples of the World Society. I will periodically remove the curse power from you.” Xu Qing understood the Mud Bodhisattva’s idea and agreed.

Having such a diviner in the World Society is a great benefit to its many disciples.

After all, as the leader of the World Society, he didn't have time to divine things for so many disciples of the World Society.

The addition of the clay Buddha statue can fill this gap.

From now on, the world will rule the martial arts world, and this will become more stable.

"Thank you for taking me in, Your Majesty!" The clay bodhisattva bowed deeply.

Accepting the clay Buddha was a minor matter, and Xu Qing was not greatly affected.

"This thing is... the Great Evil King, the number one evil weapon in the world!?"

After the clay bodhisattva got up, he focused his attention on the Buddha statue that Xu Qing was carrying, and immediately saw the terrifying existence inside the statue.

"The Supreme One wants to take out this evil weapon?!" Mud Bodhisattva immediately understood Xu Qing's thoughts.

“Not bad.” Xu Qing nodded.

"The most powerful evil weapon in the world is difficult for ordinary people to control. They will inevitably be affected by its evil aura and become slaves to the weapon."

But with the Supreme Being's immense power, controlling an evil weapon like the Great Evil King would be a piece of cake!

"That's what the clay bodhisattva said."

Jian Yue glanced at Mud Bodhisattva in surprise. How come this guy suddenly became so eloquent?

She had acted so mysteriously when she talked to him before, and she even revealed all his secrets.

Jian Yue thought this Mud Bodhisattva was a highly accomplished person who was cold to everyone.

Who would have thought that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would also know how to flatter!
Xu Qing smiled slightly, for flattery never fails.

Even he couldn't escape the common urge to listen to flattery.

"Master!"

"Disciple greets Master!"

At this moment, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun returned and stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Big Brother!"

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun bowed to Qin Shuang again.

Qin Shuang nodded slightly. Seeing that Bu Jingyun was indeed still full of energy, even stronger than many years ago, he was very happy. "Yun'er, Feng'er, you two have returned just in time."

"Master, is there anything we can do for you? We'd go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Feng and Yun said.

Xu Qing shook his head and chuckled, then told the two about the need to unseal the Great Evil King and open the Nine Realms of Nothingness.

The two, Feng and Yun, suddenly realized and were also shocked that such a peculiar world existed.

With Feng and Yun in place, Xu Qing reopened the Sword Realm and brought out Wuming and Duanlang, who were inside.

"Unknown senior!"

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun first greeted Wuming.

"Lang, it's been a long time!" Nie Feng then smiled at Duan Lang.

"Wind, it's been a long time indeed."

Duan Lang was also very happy to see Nie Feng.

"Junior Brother Lang, can't you see I'm still here?" Bu Jingyun's face darkened when he saw Duan Lang catching up with Nie Feng but ignoring him.

Duan Lang glanced at Bu Jingyun sideways and said indifferently, "So what if I saw it?"

Bu Jingyun glared angrily, thinking, "Why is this kid still so annoying?"

Duan Lang raised an eyebrow: "What? You want to fight? Fine, I'd like to see just how much you've improved in the past three years!"

"I'm not afraid of you!" Bu Jingyun was about to rush forward.

"Hey, you two, after all these years, you still argue the moment you meet!" Nie Feng stepped between the two.

"Alright, you two, stop fooling around." Qin Shuang spoke up at this moment.

Duan Lang snorted coldly and turned his head away. Bu Jingyun did the same, crossing his arms, seemingly unwilling to see Duan Lang either.

"The relationship between Hall Master Yun and Hall Master Lang is really good," Mud Bodhisattva said with a smile.

"Who the hell has a relationship with him?!"

Duan Lang and Bu Jingyun retorted in unison.

Wuming smiled too; the two lads were as close as ever.

Xu Qing shook his head slightly. This was the way Duan Lang and Bu Jingyun got along. Over the years, he had become accustomed to it.

Compared to their relationship in the original timeline, their current way of getting along is rather endearing.

Even Jian Yue could see that although Bu Jingyun and Duan Lang seemed to be bickering and arguing, neither of them was actually really angry.

Xu Qing returned the Fire Kirin Sword to Duan Lang, saying, "There is an evil entity residing within your Fire Kirin Sword. It is enhancing the evil energy of your Fire Kirin Sword and improving its quality."

Duan Lang took the Fire Kirin Sword and immediately sensed its uniqueness.

This evil energy is too strong; it's on a completely different level compared to before!
"Thank you, Master!" Duan Lang exclaimed joyfully.

The Fire Kirin Sword has become even stronger and will once again catch up with his strength.

With a sweep of his divine spirit, Xu Qing summoned the Sword of Defeat and the Silent Blade hidden in the armory.

The Sword of Defeat, brimming with the aura of defeat, flew towards Jian Yue, while the Silence Blade, brimming with murderous intent, headed towards Nie Feng.

"What a peerless and deadly sword!" Jian Yue reached out and grasped the Sword of Defeat, unable to help but exclaim in amazement.

The power of such a vicious sword is truly terrifying.

A swordsman who is not skilled enough cannot wield such a sword and will instead be injured by it.

"This is... the Silent Blade!?" Nie Feng gripped the Silent Blade, a divine weapon he had seized during the destruction of Japan.

This sword is no less powerful than his Snow Drinking Sword, and even surpasses it in killing power.

It is also an incomparably evil and malevolent demonic blade!

"The four of you, with the power of the four great evil weapons—the Peerless Sword, the Sword of Defeat, the Fire Kirin Sword, and the Terrifying Silence Blade—following the method of 'Divine Weapons Locking the Four Directions and Fighting Against Evil Within Evil,' join me in breaking the seal of this Bitter Buddha and allowing the Great Evil King to reappear in the world!"

Xu Qing spoke, assigning tasks to everyone.

The original plan was that the Great Evil King could only be unsealed at a specific location, Tianjue Island, and at a specific time, during the "Four Deadly Periods".

But the person who originally led the unsealing was Juexin, and since he lacked the strength, he naturally needed to make so many preparations.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, wouldn't need so much preparation.

His formidable strength is enough to break through these barriers; gathering the power of the four fierce weapons will suffice.
