Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

"Bang bang bang..."

The four elders were no match for the demonic cultivator who suddenly appeared. In just one round, they were all drained of their blood by streaks of blood light and died on the spot.

"Crown Prince! Your end is near. You still want the people from the Shangqing Temple to intervene? In your next life!"

The demonic cultivator grinned maliciously and lifted the terrified prince up. With a slight tightening of his pale hand, the prince thrashed about like a fish out of water, but the vise-like hand gripped his throat tightly, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe.

In no time at all, this noble crown prince of Chechi Kingdom was thrown to the ground by the demonic cultivators like a lump of mud.

"Hurry up! Clean up all the corpses!"

With the situation settled, the demonic cultivator gave an order, and the hidden assassins began to move.

The corpses were put into bags and carried away. The bloodstains and traces of the supernatural bombardment on the ground were restored to their original state, and the arrows scattered everywhere were pulled out and collected.

An hour later, all traces were erased.

The morning sun shone on the road, and no one knew that an hour earlier, a massacre had taken place here, with hundreds of people dying on this road.

The eldest prince was ambushed and killed, and the Shangqing Temple was completely unaware of it.

In the capital city, all four gates were tightly shut.

With the cooperation of the Imperial Guards, the Second Prince's men began to purge the "Shangqing Temple" and the First Prince's cronies according to the list.

This day was a day of bloodshed in the capital.

Outside the capital, there is the Shangqing Temple.

While Yangli Daxian was meditating, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Strange, what's going on? Is something wrong with my eldest and second brothers?"

At this point, the imperial advisor still had not found the source of the danger.

In his view, the "Chechi Kingdom" was entirely composed of a few small families and small factions that relied on the "Shangqing Temple" for survival, and there was no external force whatsoever.

This is the impregnable empire built by the three brothers.

Therefore, although the eighteen Shangqing Temples in the entire Chechi Kingdom strengthened their external defenses, they remained lax internally and never considered that an internal rebellion might occur.

In the imperial palace of the capital city.

The king, the second prince, and the third princess of the Asura clan are hosting a banquet for a powerful demonic figure, Ding Yin, who possesses dual identities as an Asura and a Buddhist.

This Blood Demon Buddha of Buddhism, draped in a scarlet robe and with a string of skulls around his neck, exuded an eerie aura that made not only the King and the Second Prince afraid, but even the Third Princess felt somewhat uneasy when facing Ding Yin.

It was as if a lamb was facing a hungry tiger.

This time, the time has come.

In order to teach the Jie Sect a lesson, the Buddhist sect directly dispatched Ding Yin and his gang of evil spirits.

"Your Majesty, with the assistance of our Buddhist sect this time, what else do you have to worry about?"

Ding Yin smiled, "My Buddhist sect is different from the Shangqing Temple! They are parasites that enslave your Chechi Kingdom, sucking the blood of its people!"

"Our Buddhist sect is compassionate, and this time we have come with the aim of saving the people of Chechi Kingdom. Once we help you defeat Shangqing Temple, the entire Chechi Kingdom will be handed over to the royal family. His Majesty the King will be the true leader of the people of Chechi Kingdom, leading them towards a bright future!"

"Really... Will I really live to see that day?"

Ding Yin's grand promises thoroughly ignited the king's ambition.

From beginning to end, the royal family dreamed of one day being able to break free from the oppression of the Shangqing Temple, truly become the masters of their own destiny, and be free from all constraints.

They forgot how, without the protection of Shangqing Temple, wild cultivators and demons invaded this country, and they forgot the enormous price this country paid to support those temples when it was under Buddhist rule...

Time...

Tens of millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and everything has changed beyond recognition.

The Shangqing Temple, once a powerful patron relied upon by the royal family, has become the very force they despise most!

Under the dual guidance of the demonic path and Buddhism, the ambitions of the king and the second prince have been fully unleashed. They aspire to become wise and benevolent rulers who will restore the kingdom of Chechi and eradicate evil forces. The Shangqing Temple has become the most important thing that this father and son want to do.

"Of course! Your Majesty, you are a wise and benevolent ruler! The Kingdom of Chechi will surely become an independent, prosperous, and heavenly kingdom under your rule..."

Ding Yin's lips curled into a smile, but a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.

They are just two foolish little ants; these two are nothing more than puppets needed by Buddhism to maintain its orthodox status.

As for what will happen to the father and son after they conquer "Chechi Kingdom"?

That's not something Ding Yin needs to worry about. Those two ants probably won't have the fortune to meet someone with such great supernatural powers as himself in their lifetime.

The king and the second prince, having received assurances from Ding Yin, were momentarily lost in beautiful fantasies.

"Hehehe! Your Majesty, since Immortal Ding has said so, what are you still hesitating for?"

As she spoke, she collapsed completely into the king's arms, as if she had no bones.

That youthful and beautiful body gently rubbed against the king's body.

This pleasurable feeling almost made the king lose control; he was about to take off his pants and engage in an unusual battle.

The second prince, standing to the side, was practically staring wide-eyed. He had tasted this woman's pleasures before, and they were truly intoxicating!

At that moment, seeing the old king with his soft body in his arms, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

We've already killed the eldest brother, so what's the difference if we kill this old father?

"Tsk tsk! Interesting! A foolish and greedy little man!"

Ding Yin revealed a hint of amusement; he had clearly seen the ugly behavior of the king and his son.

A furtive glance swept over the Third Princess, and the flirtatious woman let out a silvery laugh, throwing a seductive wink at Ding Yin.

For the third princess, manipulating the king and his son is just a small game.

It was a trial by fire in the mortal world for her, a step beyond her cultivation. For a woman of the Asura race, desire and love meant nothing at all.

"Since my beloved consort has said so, then shall we ask Immortal Ding to take charge of the overall situation and be responsible for the complete eradication of Shangqing Temple?"

The old lecher was already impatient and had no further objections to the issue of eradicating the "Shangqing Temple," agreeing completely.

The old man's only thought now was to agree, send away the Second Prince and Immortal Ding, and quickly enjoy his intimate moments with the beauty.

"Then I beg Your Majesty to issue me a royal decree, so that I may rightfully eradicate the cult!"

Finally, Ding Yin revealed the purpose of his trip.

When great sects compete, they must have a legitimate reason for their rivalry.

We are all people of status, so naturally we should start by being reasonable!

This is not Buddhism targeting the Jie Sect; it is the people of Chechi Kingdom who are dissatisfied with the oppression of your Jie Sect and have launched a counterattack on their own!

"All right!"

The king had no choice but to summon the eunuchs to prepare everything. He then personally wrote the imperial edict, affixed the imperial seal, and concluded the meeting before returning to the palace with his beloved.

Only the Second Prince and Ding Yin remained in the entire hall.

"Master Ding, I wish to become your disciple! I humbly request that you accept me as your student."

With no one else around, the Second Prince knelt down before Ding Yin with a thud.

He saw that Ding Yin was different and wanted to rely on Ding Yin to make him his patron.

From then on, it was a good thing whether it was to seek the throne or to resist the probing of other forces against the "Chechi Kingdom".

"Oh? You want to become my disciple?"

Ding Yin's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face.

This little second prince dares to approach me?

That's interesting!

Perhaps we can train him to become a bloodthirsty demon lord and transform "Chech Kingdom" into a demon kingdom on earth?

The moment this wicked thought surfaced, Ding Yin's smile widened even further!

With the help of Shangqing Temple, the entire Chechi Kingdom developed very well, transforming from a small country into one of the top ten major powers in Xiniu Hezhou.

The population of "Chechi Kingdom" is no less than 300 million!

So many people have turned into demons, perhaps this will give him a new opportunity?

A supreme demon kingdom that belongs only to him?

This idea began to take root, and Ding Yin smiled, "Second Prince, do you really want to become my disciple?"

"Yes, teacher! Your disciple is willing to follow you closely, and from now on, the Kingdom of Chechi will serve you with utmost loyalty!"

The second prince was overjoyed; there was hope!

He had no idea what the future held for him!

Ding Yin, this demon, appears harmless, yet he is ten thousand times more ferocious than any other demon. Now that he has set his sights on the "Chech Kingdom," both ordinary people and the royal family will be plunged into hell in the future...

"Very well then! I'll accept you as my disciple."

Ding Yin nodded, a kind smile on his lips, looking every bit the amiable teacher.

"Bang bang bang..."

Without hesitation, the second prince performed nine grand salutes before rising.

"My good disciple, this is a protective treasure bestowed upon you by your teacher. You must wear it close to your body!"

Ding Yin laughed heartily, and a crimson bead flew out and landed in the Second Prince's hand.

The moment the bead reached the Second Prince's hands, a warm sensation spread throughout his body. His body, which had been weakened by his debauchery, recovered considerably in an instant.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this precious treasure upon your disciple!"

The second prince was overjoyed. He was a man of considerable experience and knowledge, and he often received various trinkets from cultivators, but none of them could compare to the effect of this bead.

"Disciple, let's go! Make preparations and bring along everyone you can. We'll need these mortals to attack Shangqing Temple."

Ding Yin sighed deeply, the more mortals who died, the better. Even if it was the people of Shangqing Temple who were to kill, the more they killed, the greater the hatred would become, and there would be no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

Even Ding Yin's heart was filled with darkness, hoping to wipe out the "Shangqing Temple". The Jie Sect was furious, and a great supernatural being personally came forward to retaliate, slaughtering the entire "Chechi Kingdom"!

This is more interesting!

Let's see if your Jie Sect dares to do it!

Wasn't the Chaos Dao Lord the teacher of the human race and the teacher of the Three Sovereigns?

I'll see if this human army is ruthless and fast enough in slaughtering humans!

Since the power of the immortal path is insufficient to suppress the momentum of the Jie Sect, let's start with mortals. When it comes to the ability to bewitch living beings, which sect is better than the demonic sect or the Buddhist sect?

One amplifies human desires to an extreme; the other is eloquent and persuasive, whether through deception or enlightenment, their brainwashing abilities are invincible on ordinary people.

"Yes, teacher! I will arrange it immediately!"

This was the first task the teacher gave him. The Second Prince excitedly followed Ding Yin out of the palace. He first settled Ding Yin in the Prince's Mansion, and then took the imperial edict and went out.

Since his teacher was asking the royal family to help, he naturally had to follow his teacher's plan.

First, he went to the Imperial Guard and mobilized 30,000 troops. Then he went to the "Hall of Recruiting Talents" and invited a group of protectors and worshippers. Although these people were not immortals, they still knew some magic and could boost the momentum.

The next day, with everything prepared, the Imperial Guards of the capital set out of the city, led by Ding Yin and the Second Prince, and marched in a grand procession toward the Shangqing Temple!

Before noon, the army arrived outside the temple. The sound of horns blared, and the Second Prince drew his sword and shouted. The army charged forward, and shouts of battle arose.

This imperial guard was extremely loyal, having been trained by the royal family since childhood. If it were an ordinary army, they would probably have defected to the enemy in the face of the "Shangqing Temple".

They were incredibly brave and obeyed orders, rushing through the temple gates to fight the disciples of the "Shangqing Temple" inside.

There are many immortals in this temple, but most of them are still mortals. They have some supernatural powers and magic, and they have suffered some casualties in the face of the army's attack.

Immortal Yangli was meditating inside the Shangqing Temple when he heard shouts of battle outside. Startled, he asked the young Taoist beside him, "What's happening outside?"

At this moment, even this Great Immortal was somewhat panicked!

With his cultivation level, he should have been able to see through the secrets of heaven and would have noticed something was wrong long ago. However, when the enemy came to his door, even the Great Immortal Yangli did not react in time.

This made his heart sink, knowing that a master had intervened, that someone had blinded his senses, keeping him in the dark until the conspiracy against him was fully exposed.

The newcomer's cultivation level is definitely no lower than his, and may even be higher.

"Great Immortal Yangli, there's no need to investigate any further. His Majesty the King has decided to eliminate the influence of the Shangqing Temple in Chechi Kingdom. You are likely doomed today."

No sooner had the Great Immortal Yang Li finished speaking than a leisurely voice came from outside the door.

"Who are you? A demonic cultivator?"

Yangli Daxian looked at the strange man at the door with a gloomy face. His whole body was full of power, and he could unleash a peak attack of a Great Luo Golden Immortal at any time!

"Perhaps you have heard of my name. I am Ding Yin, and today I have brought you here."

Ding Yin chuckled. This Yang Li Immortal was nothing more than an ant, but a huge threat to others. They couldn't let him crush the morale of the Chechi Kingdom's royal family! (End of Chapter)
