Chapter 273 Neither betraying Buddha nor betraying him
Inside the main hall of Kongnian Temple.

The abbots of thirty other Buddhist temples have already arrived.

They knelt on the prayer mats.

Indignation was written on the faces of each of them.

Everyone seemed to be holding back a lot of anger.

When the abbot of Kongnian Temple entered the main hall, everyone looked in the direction of Xujing.

"Master Xujing".

Everyone stood up and bowed to Xu Jing with their hands clasped together.

"Greetings, everyone." Xu Jing returned the greeting with his hands clasped together.

"Master Xujing, you are too kind," the abbot of Qingzhou Temple quickly said politely. "Please take a seat, Master Xujing, so we can discuss important matters together!"

Xu Jing nodded without refusing and sat down at the front of the main hall.

The abbot of Buyi Temple cleared his throat and said, "Master Xujing, esteemed masters, we are all gathered here for a purpose that I am sure you all understand. I will not waste any more words."

Several years ago, a disciple named Xiao Mo emerged from the Demonic Sect. He was a disciple of the Blood Peak lineage of the Myriad Paths Sect.

Xiao Mo was just beginning to show his talent at that time, but most of us didn't take him seriously.

But who knows what the outcome will be?

This child's talent is extremely rare in the Western Regions throughout history!

He crossed borders to kill enemies as easily as drinking water.

A few years ago, the Wandao Sect was embroiled in internal strife, resulting in the death of its sect leader, Ding Jingyi, and the loss or injury of 30% of the sect's cultivators in the upper three realms.

Not long after Xiao Mo became the sect leader of the Myriad Paths Sect, the nine major demonic sects attacked the sect together. However, Xiao Mo single-handedly repelled the demonic sects' army of 30,000, including nine sect leaders who had ascended to the Ascension Realm.

This is unprecedented!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this person was a reincarnation of a god; in ancient times, he would probably have been a god-slayer.

If Xiao Mo had stayed within the confines of the Myriad Paths Sect and become the number one figure in the Demonic Sect, that would have been one thing.

Over the years, Xiao Mo has been conquering east and west, north and south, destroying several demonic sects, and even our Buddhist sect has not been spared.

Xiao Mo has been called the "Lord of the Demonic Path" by the people of the world.

We have even heard that Xiao Mo has led his army to attack the territory of our Ten Great Buddhist Temples.

It seems that the war between Buddha and demon will inevitably break out in a short time.

Today, we propose that we form a Buddhist alliance to resist the Demonic Sect and subdue the arrogant Demon Lord Xiao Mo!

"That's what I think too."

The abbot of Mantuo Temple echoed this sentiment.

Although the others did not speak, they also nodded in agreement with the abbot of Buyi Temple's proposal.

They all looked at Xu Jing, wanting to hear her opinion.

In any case, Xu Jing is the foremost figure in Buddhism and Taoism, and his spiritual realm is the highest among all.

The alliance between Buddhism and Taoism requires the participation of Kongnian Temple.

"I have also learned about this Benefactor Xiao. He is not a person with a deeply rooted demonic heart. In comparison, in my opinion, this Benefactor Xiao is quite wise."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jing spoke.

"I've heard that the temples destroyed by Benefactor Xiao were evil temples like the Temple of Joy and the Temple of Sorrow?"

"Alas," the abbot of Qianfo Temple sighed and shook his head, saying, "We naturally dislike those evil temples, and it would be a great relief to eliminate them. But if that were all, we wouldn't have come to bother Master Xujing."

"What do you mean?" Xu Jing asked.

“Master Xujing, you are unaware of something.”

The abbot of Rumeng Temple spoke.

"Recently, Xiao Mo has had his disciples set up many formations in the mortal world."

These magical formations can absorb up to 20% of the lifespan of ordinary people! They can even absorb the dynasty's fortune!

Xiao Mo's actions have now provoked widespread resentment among the people of the Western Regions, but they dare not speak out against it.

"It's a strange thing to think about."

Another abbot said, "After Xiao Mo used the magic array to absorb the lifespan of the people, he still distributed a lot of treasures to the people and strictly forbade his subordinates from killing or harming ordinary people. Otherwise, they would all be executed."

Not only that, he also set rules for his subordinates, prohibiting any evil practices that use the flesh, blood, or souls of others as nourishment.

He was like a demon, yet not like a demon.

"Furthermore, do you know that after Xiao Mo killed those cultivators in the Upper Three Realms, he also locked their souls? So many souls of cultivators in the Upper Three Realms! What exactly does he want to do?"

"In any case, Xiao Mo's plans are far-reaching, and we must stop him!" the abbot of Xinrong Temple said in a deep voice.

Listening to his fellow disciples chatting amongst themselves, Abbot Xujing lowered his head, his brows furrowing slightly.

In Abbot Xujing's view, Xiao Mo was not the kind of person who treated the common people like straw dogs.

But what exactly is he planning to do by using secret methods to deprive ordinary people of 20% of their life essence and collecting the souls of so many cultivators in the upper three realms?

Xiao Mo has even begun his advance into the territory where the Ten Great Buddhist Temples are located.

An hour later, the assembly ended, and the abbots were arranged to rest in a separate courtyard.

Although Xu Jing has not yet agreed to form an alliance with them.

But Xu Jing also knew that his Kongnian Temple was probably doomed.

After leaving the main hall, Xu Jing walked through the mountains and forests, trying to deduce Xiao Mo's scheme.

As they walked, Xu Jing seemed to sense something and looked up at the courtyard behind the mountain.

At the same time, the abbots living in the detached courtyard all looked towards the direction of the back mountain of Kongnian Temple.

Above the back mountain, Buddha's light gathered, and auspicious clouds appeared in the sky. The Buddha's light even condensed into a river, in which hundreds and thousands of lotus flowers bloomed.

The abbots of the other temples exchanged glances.

Everyone knows it.

On that back mountain, someone attained enlightenment.

A moment later, Xu Jing came to the outside of the courtyard and looked at the girl in the courtyard.

A halo of Buddha surrounded her, as if draping her in a sacred robe.

Under the Bodhi tree, she still clasped her hands together and looked up at the leaves swaying in the wind.

Her eyes were full of compassion.

Chaos let out a "meow" and looked at its mistress.

Although it didn't know what was happening, the light emanating from its owner made it feel very comfortable.

"Forget your heart."

Xu Jing walked to the girl's side and called out softly.

"Abbot Grandpa." Wangxin stood up and put her hands together in prayer.

"Do you already have the answer in your heart?" Xu Jing asked.

Several years ago, at Mount Fomo, Xiao Mo and Wang Xin parted ways. He once asked Wang Xin, "If he were to kill everyone in the world, what would Wang Xin choose?"

After that, Wangxin returned to Kongnian Temple and fell into deep thought for five long years.

"No."

Wang Xin shook her head and lowered her eyes slightly.

"At that time, Xiao Mo asked me, 'Between the world and him, how should I choose?' If I couldn't answer, I would leave him."

Actually, I know that Xiao Mo is worried that the increasingly dense bloodlust will affect me.

And I also know that after he goes back, he will do something big, he will kill a lot of people, and he doesn't want me to face these things.

I still don't have an answer.

But since I can't figure it out, I'll search for it in this world.

Wang Xin turned around and looked up at the Bodhi tree.

"In that answer."

We will not fail the Buddha.

And I will not let him down.
