In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 240 Frustration
The Buddha's palm was several miles in size, and it held up more than twenty demons, along with a group of Federation trial participants.

These demons were all legendary beings at least level 15, and they tried to escape the range of the Xuanhe Barrier as soon as it was opened.

Now, being lifted up by the Buddha's palm, it feels as if one is in a golden, pure land, and no matter how fast one runs, one can never escape the five fingers.

The same applies to those who undergo trials.

Everyone was filled with astonishment and doubt, scurrying around in circles like ants on a hot pan within the Buddha's palm.

"What a magnificent Prince Jing! What a bold spirit! What an arrogant nature!"

Bathed in a clear, azure light, a figure sang aloud in praise.

The Xuanhe Barrier now seemed to form its own world.

Within the barrier, the six senses remain untouched, and all laws cannot penetrate.

Similarly, whatever happens inside will not affect those outside the barrier.

Xie Lingxin extended the Xuanhe Barrier to its maximum extent in order to ensure the tranquility of Lüdao Garden and the safety of the people in Lüdao Ward.

The person who walked out at this moment was dressed in a scholar's round-necked robe, with his hair tied up in a turban, and was no more than twenty years old.

"As I was about to leave Hongdu Gate, dark clouds obscured the city walls."

"The sword was as dark as water, its surface slightly red with lingering blood."

"The white horse is frequently startled at night, and snow falls on Baling at midnight!"

As this person recited poetry and chatted, exotic flowers bloomed all around, vying for beauty and emitting a wonderful fragrance.

Butterflies fluttered and danced among the flowers.

A gentle breeze suddenly arose, and snowflakes began to fall.

The petals flutter and dance in the wind.

Xie Lingxin felt a strange fragrance lingering in her nose, and a gentle breeze blowing around her, bringing a slight coolness.

"Tsk...tsk..."

A faint sound.

Looking down, he saw that his clothes had been torn in dozens of places out of nowhere, as if they had been cut by invisible blades.

"Your Highness, be careful! That's the Butterfly Dance Among Flowers from the Flower Sect! It kills without a trace!"

At this moment, the two who had been fighting fiercely with the white ape were now in grave danger thanks to the white ape's long sword.

The one wielding the fist still turned back to remind him amidst his busy work.

"despair……"

A drop of crimson fell.

Xie Lingxin touched the spot on her face that felt cold, and her hands were also stained with blood.

"The Flower School?"

Xie Lingxin listened to the poem he recited: "Who is Wen Tingyun to you?"

It truly lives up to its reputation as a world that continues the legacy of the Tang Dynasty.

Anyone who comes out at random is either a great poet or has something to do with great poets.

The man laughed and said, "My name is Duan Anjie. Your Highness actually knows my father-in-law? Your Highness, why don't you hand over that green banner to me, and I will take my leave now."

Xie Lingxin laughed and said, "Wen Tingyun's poems are exquisite and refined, and I've heard that he himself is also refined. How come you didn't receive his true teachings? Are you also here to covet the treasure?"

Duan Anjie laughed and said, "With a treasure appearing in the world, virtue will prevail. Why should I consider myself superior?"

At this moment, besides Duan Anjie, another figure flew up from the Buddha's palm.

It landed on one side of the barrier.

It was a snow-white fox!
The fox landed and twisted, transforming into a woman.

With her graceful figure and captivating charm, her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to steal one's soul.

Upon seeing the fox, Duan Anjie's eyes flashed with a hint of apprehension, and he made no move.

"Hehe, Your Highness Prince Jing, you're so fierce! You almost scared me!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Xie Lingxin felt a blur before her eyes.

Warm breath escaped from his left cheek, his breath as fragrant as orchids.

It's even more intoxicating than the fragrance of the flowers we just smelled.

"Your Highness, do I smell good?"

A flawless, exquisitely beautiful face, seemingly sculpted from crystal, had somehow gotten close to her neck.

Those beautiful eyes, so close yet so close, could make your soul fly away with just one glance.

"If Your Highness were to bestow this upon me, I would gladly offer myself in gratitude...hehe~"

Xie Lingxin's fingers glided across that stunningly beautiful face, smooth as cream, stirring up all sorts of fantasies.

"Vixen?"

The stunningly beautiful woman pouted coquettishly, her breath as fragrant as orchids and musk: "My name is Kongsang Manniang, Your Highness, do you remember me!"

"Kongsang? Legend has it that there is a Qingqiu in the land of Kongsang... Are you a fox spirit from the Qingqiu Kingdom?"

"Ouch!"

Kongsang Manniang had just uttered a coquettish complaint when she suddenly changed her expression and exclaimed in surprise.

He was thrown back by tremendous force.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!…”

Xie Lingxin was surrounded by golden bells that spun endlessly.

The bells rang continuously, a total of 27 rings in 3 rounds.

All desires cease, and the original mind becomes pure and spotless.

A sense of apprehension also surfaced in Xie Lingxin's eyes.

The Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand cannot contain this fox spirit; even within the Xuanhe Barrier, she can still bewitch minds.

This indicates that his cultivation level is far superior to mine.

At least above the innate level, no less than that white ape.

If they weren't inside the Xuanhe Barrier, Xie Lingxin was certain that she wouldn't have had the slightest thought of resistance; she would have been completely captivated by her.

If she wanted to kill him, it wouldn't take her more than a breath.

"Boom!"

With a thought, he took out the male and female sword box from his treasure pouch.

Stand in front of you.

Whether it was Kongsang Barbarian Girl, White Ape, or Duan Anjie, they all suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

Xie Lingxin had already reached out and patted the sword box.

"Ch..."

The sword case was wide open.

"Qiang~!"

With a whistling sound, the dragon roared from within the box.

Last time, when Su Zuoming was killed, the sword box was only slightly opened.

The sword light was blazing white.

This time, the sword case was almost completely opened.

The sword light was bluish-purple, soaring into the sky.

Rong Sang Man Niang only saw the soaring blue-purple sword light and had no reaction at all, but then felt a chill on her neck.

The next moment, he fell into chaos and lost consciousness.

To others, all they saw was a cyan-purple sword light soaring into the sky, and the beautiful head of Kongsang Manniang fell from her jade-like neck, rolling to the ground and instantly transforming into a white fox head.

"Whoosh-!"

The white ape forced the two back with a single sword strike, then the ape and sword merged into one, transforming into a beam of white light that pierced through the Xuanhe Barrier and soared into the sky.

They were startled and left.

Duan Anjie's face was pale, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

The spinning of Xie Lingxin's sword case sent shivers down his spine.

Suddenly, a scroll flew in from outside the barrier. The long scroll was like a dragon. It circled Duan Anjie and then flew out of the Xuanhe Barrier.

"Your Highness, my son has been disrespectful and offended you. Please forgive him!"

"A scroll of paintings depicting a hundred ghosts, offered as a token of apology, to save my son's life!"

Xie Lingxin watched as a scroll of paintings drifted down from the sky and caught it.

The title page has the words "Hundred Ghosts" and the signature... Duan, Cheng, Shi?

"Snapped!"

Xie Lingxin closed the sword case.

Even with the sword case, I am no match for this person.

Duan Chengshi, author of *Youyang Zazu*?
Wow, that's amazing!

Their gaze returned to the Buddha's palm.

With a flip of his hand, numerous trial participants and demons fell like rain.

The Buddha's palm slowly pressed down, and all twenty-two demons instantly turned into blood, flesh, and ashes.

The remaining group of trial participants were filled with terror.

The Buddha sits in the Bodhimanda, and I gain royal power.

In the Buddhist kingdom, I am the king, I am the power.

We can decide who dies and who lives!
Xie Lingxin dispelled the Supreme King Sword Divine Power.

When the four mental barriers are used again, the amplification is even greater than before.

With supernatural powers, his strength has already surpassed the sixth level.

Within this Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand, anyone who hasn't passed the six levels of tribulations is completely at his mercy!

Life and death are just a matter of thought.

Xie Lingxin lightly leaned on the black crane and green banner, and the black crane barrier disappeared.

A flurry of footsteps.

In the distance, several squads of soldiers in golden helmets and armor, carrying golden maces, were rushing towards this side.

Xie Lingxin's lips twitched slightly: "You arrived quite 'just in time'."

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in the capital!"

The golden-armored soldiers surrounded Lüdao Garden and shouted at everyone around them.

There were also some who were watching, but even if they were unwilling, they could only retreat.

The cyan-purple sword light that had just slain a powerful innate demon in a single strike had already chilled them to the bone.

At this moment, the Imperial Guards arrived again, and there was no point in lingering any longer.

"Who are you? How dare you raise an army in the capital!"

"Come on! Take them all!"

The Imperial Guards surged into the Lvdao Garden, ready to capture the group of trial participants.

"The Imperial Guards are quite arrogant. Are they going to capture me as well?"

Xie Lingxin landed in the garden.

The leading Jinwu general clearly recognized him. He glanced at the fox corpse on the ground, his expression changed slightly, and he bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jing!"

"We are guarding the capital, it is our duty. We were unaware that Your Highness was here. Please forgive us for our intrusion!"

"That's all."

Xie Lingxin waved her hand: "They are all my people, you can leave."

General Jinwu hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed and said, "In that case, we will take our leave!"

The Imperial Guards left to deal with the mess that had occurred before.

The chaos caused by a magical artifact gradually subsided.

Although they coveted the magical treasure, it's also possible that some people wanted to use this opportunity to test the capital.

Or perhaps it was a test of that saint.

After a moment's thought, Xie Lingxin understood the reasoning behind it.

The magic weapon I crafted myself is indeed a fine treasure.

But it's not enough to cause such a big mess.

Are those experts so unfamiliar with good things?
It can't be that bad...

It's highly likely that the sage's long period of seclusion has aroused much suspicion.

He wanted to take this opportunity to test whether she would show up at the Golden Wheel Festival.

Did I become someone else's bait again?

Shake his head.

How annoying!
"Your lives are now mine. None of you are allowed to leave. Wait here."

Xie Lingxin looked at the group of trial participants.

He's in a bad mood right now and doesn't want to be polite with them anymore.

"Don't run away! If anyone runs away and I catch them, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Then he called Cui Hong and the others and returned to the Water Pavilion.

Many of the remaining trial participants were indignant.

"Isn't he too domineering? Does he really think he's a prince? What do he take us for?"

Having known each other for two lifetimes, he sneered, "Why didn't you say that when you were here?"

"I……!"

Do I dare to say it?

He glanced at the fox head in the distance, and the demon corpses scattered on the ground.

These are over twenty legendary creatures, each at least level 15!
And that fox, it's at least level 20!
Just die.

All dead!
Especially recalling the feeling of powerlessness they had just experienced within the golden Buddha's palm, no one dared to entertain the slightest thought of leaving.

I thought that after this person returned to the Federation, it would take him a few more years to be able to compare with those geniuses.

But now it seems he already is!
Such a person actually came from a small place...

The shock also left everyone feeling deeply frustrated.

It's understandable that they can't compare to those scions of aristocratic families, since the resources are far inferior.

But this person from a small town doesn't have any resources, and therefore no excuses...

……

In the water house.

"Why are you back?"
