Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

The servant knelt down in terror, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty!"

"The figures of the divine being and the Azure Dragon hovered in the sky above the western suburbs for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Many people in the royal palace and Luoyang City saw them."

Seeing the servant's reaction, Yang Guang frowned and muttered, "Could there really be a divine dragon in this world?"

By this time, Yang Guang had already begun to believe seven or eight tenths of what the attendant had said, so he waved for the attendant to rise, then turned back to look in the direction of the Jingnian Chan sect, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"We received news that the people from beyond the realm not only killed the four great monks of Buddhism, but also almost killed Fan Qinghui, the sect leader of Cihang Jingzhai."

"It seems that the people from outside the region have an unimaginable aversion to Buddhism."

"if..."

Yang Guang stood there, his expression constantly changing, as if he were thinking about something.

After a long while, Yang Guang's expression darkened, his straight back hunched slightly, and he gave a bitter laugh: "Now, where do I have the capital to earn the respect of those people from beyond the borders?"

However, Yang Guang then thought of the situation of the Buddhist sect that he had investigated in the past few days, and a murderous aura appeared in his eyes: "Just as Mr. Chen Hao from outside the realm said, the Buddhist sect is too wealthy, so wealthy that even I, the emperor, am a little envious."

"If this continues unchecked, Buddhism may become the biggest cancer in the Central Plains."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Guang ordered his attendants, "Go and investigate the current situation of the Jingnian Chan sect."

"Yes!"

The servant respectfully responded and then trotted out of the palace.

...

In another part of Luoyang City, inside the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce.

Rong Fengxiang stood in the courtyard, looking towards the Jingnian Zen Temple and at the rolling thunderclouds above it, and laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good!"

"I never imagined that I would be able to witness the demise of his Pure Mindfulness Chan School. It's truly amazing."

"Hahaha~~ Ahahaha~~~!"

Rong Fengxiang appears to be the big boss of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, but in reality, he is Pi Chen, the sect leader of Lao Jun Temple, one of the six sects of the Demonic Path, and has a long-term alliance with the Yin Gui Sect.

·· ······Requesting flowers···· ···

Previously, Zhu Yuyan sent a message to Rong Fengxiang, inviting him to join forces against Buddhism, but at the time Rong Fengxiang always thought Zhu Yuyan was crazy.

The two factions of the Demonic Sect and the Buddhist righteous path have been entangled for hundreds of years. Although they have had their victories and defeats, overall, the Demonic Sect is actually much weaker than the Buddhist Sect.

Otherwise, Rong Fengxiang wouldn't have concealed his identity and secretly developed his business.

"Father, what happened that makes you so happy!"

Just as Rong Fengxiang was laughing, a soft, sweet, and melodious voice suddenly rang out from the side.

At the same time, a naturally beautiful and alluring woman slowly walked up to Rong Fengxiang.

"Jiaojiao, you're back!"

Upon seeing the visitor, Rong Fengxiang's eyes revealed a hint of doting affection.

... ... ...

The visitor was Rong Fengxiang's daughter, Rong Jiaojiao, who, along with Dong Shuni, was known as one of the "Two Beauties of Luoyang".

Rong Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled with captivating beauty, seemingly filled with tender affection yet also shyly bashful; her demeanor was graceful and charming, displaying a myriad of elegant manners.

Rong Jiaojiao walked gracefully to Rong Fengxiang's side and said softly, "It's a mess outside right now, so my daughter came back."

As she spoke, Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she asked Rong Fengxiang, "Father, did you see the dragon flying in the sky just now?"

Without waiting for Rong Fengxiang's reply, Rong Jiaojiao continued excitedly, "That divine dragon was over ten zhang long, covered in cyan-gold scales, soaring through the clouds and mist, appearing majestic and extraordinary. It was truly unbelievable!!!"

"I never imagined that dragons actually existed in this world! I always thought it was just the delusion of our ancestors."

Looking at his excited daughter, Rong Fengxiang smiled indulgently and said, "Our world may not have dragons, but that doesn't mean other worlds don't have dragons."

Rong Jiaojiao's clear black and white eyes immediately rolled around several times, and she said sweetly:

"Does Father mean that the divine dragon came from beyond the realm?"

Rong Fengxiang nodded solemnly: "The methods of those people from beyond the realm are far more miraculous than I imagined."

"That Mr. Chen Hao not only has the ability to control lightning, but it seems that he also has a divine dragon as his pet."

As he spoke, Rong Fengxiang couldn't help but show an envious expression: "The Yin Gui Sect is just too lucky!"

Chapter 246 The End of Buddhism

Rong Jiaojiao looked toward the direction of the Jingnian Chan Sect, which was gradually becoming quiet, and couldn't help but ask Rong Fengxiang curiously, "Father, there have been rumors lately that the Buddhist sect owns two or three tenths of the land and wealth in the Central Plains."

Is this true or false? Are Buddhist sects really that wealthy?

Rong Jiaojiao did not go to Yangzhou City last time, so she naturally did not meet Chen Hao. However, Chen Hao's statistics on the wealth of Buddhism have already spread throughout the world in recent days.

Even a young lady like Rong Jiaojiao has heard a lot of discussions about the natural wealth of Buddhism these past two days.

Rong Fengxiang looked at Rong Jiaojiao and said solemnly, "It's more than enough!"

“The Jingnian Chan sect alone owns tens of thousands of acres of farmland outside the temple, and there is a large bronze hall inside the temple, with countless bronze Buddhas inside. You can imagine how wealthy they are.”

"Moreover, the number of Buddhist temples in the world is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands."

"Mr. Chen Hao's assessment that Buddhist property accounts for two or three tenths of the world's wealth is probably an understatement."

Rong Jiaojiao suddenly covered her mouth with her right hand, her eyes wide open, and said incredulously, "There are so many temples in this world?!"

After a moment of silence, Rong Jiaojiao immediately raised her little fist fiercely and said angrily, "Sure enough, there's a reason why those people from other regions hate Buddhism."

"If our world were to merge into the past like this, wouldn't the other world also be filled with Buddhist temples?"

"By the way, Father!" Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she curiously asked Rong Fengxiang, "Since the Jingnian Zen Sect is going to be destroyed, should we try to get some of the benefits?"

"If we go too late, the Jingnian Zen sect will be emptied out by the people of Luoyang."

Rong Fengxiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It would be good to go and see! I also want to see if the Jingnian Chan sect has really been wiped out."

"Okay~ Okay~! I'll go with Daddy too."

As she spoke, Rong Jiaojiao took Rong Fengxiang's arm and walked outside.

...

On the other side, Shangguan Long, the leader of the Luoyang Gang, Wang Shichong, experts from the Yuwen Clan, and members of the Dugu Clan all led their subordinates toward the Jingnian Zen Sect.

...

In the western suburbs of Luoyang, at the Jingnian Zen Temple!

After collecting all the scriptures and martial arts manuals of the Jingnian Zen Sect, Chen Hao immediately returned to the Jingnian Zen Sect's plaza.

Just then, Qinglong also eliminated the rest of the Jingnian Zen sect members and returned to find Chen Hao.

"Ow~!"

The Azure Dragon roared and then obediently prostrated itself in front of Chen Hao.

As if understanding the meaning behind the Azure Dragon's roar, Chen Hao gently patted the Azure Dragon's head and smiled:

"Well done!"

"However, today we are not only going to destroy the Jingnian Chan sect, but also other major temples around Luoyang. You will have to work hard to deal with them as well."

As Chen Hao spoke, he jumped directly onto the Azure Dragon's neck and pointed in a direction:

"Next, let's destroy the White Horse Temple!"

Luoyang has a long history and was the political center of many dynasties. It is surrounded by many famous temples and monasteries, such as the White Horse Temple, the Great Ci'en Temple, the Lingshan Temple, the Luoyang Garan Temple, the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, and the Jiulongshan Temple.

Although these temples are not mentioned in the novel "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", their influence in this world is by no means small.

"Roar~!"

The Azure Dragon, being sentient, immediately carried Chen Hao and flew towards the White Horse Temple.

This scene of Chen Hao riding a dragon and soaring into the sky naturally fell into the eyes of the various forces rushing towards the Jingnian Zen Sect, as well as the ordinary people of Luoyang City.

"Look...look...a divine being flew away from the Jingnian Zen sect with a blue dragon."

"It seems that the divine being has already dealt with those monks in the Jingnian Chan sect. Let's hurry over and take a look."

"Yes, yes! The divine man left empty-handed. He probably didn't take anything from the Jingnian Zen Sect, which means that the sect's assets and martial arts manuals should still be there."

"Idiot! You don't need to tell me this."

"The wise people have already gone to the Pure Mind Zen School; only fools are still standing here analyzing."

"Hurry up! If we're late, we won't even get any soup."

While many were eyeing the wealth and martial arts manuals within the Pure Mind Zen sect, some also noticed the direction Chen Hao had gone:

"The direction the Azure Dragon went seems to be towards the White Horse Temple!"

"That's right! That direction is exactly where White Horse Temple is. It seems that the divine being intends to destroy all the famous Buddhist temples."

"Now, Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei and Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou have suppressed Buddhism, and now there's even a so-called 'divine being' suppressing it. It seems Buddhism isn't as wonderful as we thought..."

"Yes! I'll talk to my wife when I get home today and tell her not to go to the temple to pray anymore."
