Demon Lord Tang Dynasty

A pleasant laugh reached my ears.

The people inside the tent showed no surprise.

Even the White Protector showed no anger; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

The curtain was lifted, and a glimpse of a bright green skirt floated in first.

The white-faced protector's smile grew even brighter.

"Moon, you're finally back."

"The Sui army was coming in a fierce manner, and Yue'er was worried, so she naturally dared not delay."

Bai Yue'er looked at Protector Bai with a smile in her eyes.

"Father, what's going on here...?"

White Protector waved his hand.

"Moon, you've come back just in time. Take him away first, and you'll take over his affairs from now on. These good-for-nothings can't even handle the smallest things." Protector Bai sneered.

Bai Yue'er bit her lip, turned to look at Gao Yi, and gracefully bowed down.

"Moon pays homage to the Buddha, the World Honored One."

"Alright, Yue'er, now is not the time to put on a show. Quickly take him away and make arrangements for him. I have other matters to instruct you on." Protector Bai said somewhat impatiently.

Gao Yi seemed completely unconcerned about their conversation, merely smiling as he looked at Protector Bai.

"Why is the Dharma protector in such a hurry?"

Gao Yi's voice remained calm.

But looking at Gao Yi's ambiguous smile, Protector Bai felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

"How dare you!"

The White Protector roared.

"It seems I've been too good to you, which has emboldened you to become increasingly presumptuous."

Protector Bai gave Gao Yi a cold look before turning to Bai Yue'er.

"Moon, take him away and lock him up for three days to starve him. From today onwards, all his privileges will be canceled."

The White Protector snorted angrily.

"Moon, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and do as I say."

The white protector's anger was clearly visible as he roared at Bai Yue'er repeatedly.

But Bai Yue'er remained motionless, maintaining her previous posture, kneeling in front of Gao Yi.

"Moon, what are you waiting for?"

As time went on, the White Protector seemed to sense something was amiss and shouted again.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue'er slowly raised her head and smiled at Protector Bai.

"Father, the cult is in dire straits. Why don't you listen to the cult leader's advice?"

"You...you...you..."

The white-clad protector's eyes widened in horror, as if he had seen a ghost, and he unconsciously took several steps back.

"Moon, what... what do you mean?"

Bai Yue'er's smile widened even more.

"Father, all these years, the cult has made no progress under your leadership. If that's the case, why not hand it over to its true master?"

"You, you, you're insane?"

The White Protector's right hand had unconsciously reached for his chest, his face filled with disbelief.

Bai Yue'er slowly stood up, her eyes looking at Gao Yi, her beautiful face seemingly sparkling with light.

"Maitreya descended to earth to save all people. The leader is the true mandate of heaven, and only he can lead us to greatness."

"You...he..."

Bai Yue'er stood silently behind Gao Yi.

"Father, no matter what, you have worked so hard for the cult for so many years. I believe the cult leader will not treat you unfairly."

As the sound faded, the entire tent fell silent, save for the heavy breathing of the White Protector.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

After a long while, Protector Bai slowly recovered and looked at the two with bloodshot eyes.

"You brat, I never expected you to have such methods, actually bewitching my daughter. And you wretched child, how dare you betray me?"

Protector Bai gritted his teeth fiercely.

"But do you think you can defy me like this?"

Protector Bai stared coldly at Gao Yi.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue'er stepped forward and stood in front of Gao Yi.

"You want to fight me? Don't forget, all your martial arts were taught by me. You've really gone too far." Protector Bai sneered repeatedly.

Gao Yi chuckled lightly, stretched his fingers forward, and then flicked them slightly backward.

Bai Yue'er instantly lowered her guard and returned to Gao Yi's side.

Looking at Gao Yi standing in front of him, Protector Bai was slightly taken aback, and then burst into laughter.

"You? Hahaha, you think you can take me?"

The laughter, mixed with a surge of inner energy, caused the tent's roof to sway slightly.

As the laughter subsided, Protector Bai's face instantly darkened. He didn't speak again, but instead raised his palm and sent it towards Gao Yi.

The powerful palm strike, accompanied by a sonic boom, enveloped both Gao Yi and Bai Yue'er simultaneously.

Strangely, despite the surging palm force, Gao Yi didn't feel any overwhelming power. Instead, he felt a strange suction force pulling at his body, as if trying to drag him over.

At the same time, the white-robed protector who was standing in front of them had disappeared without them noticing.

Bai Yue'er, who had been standing behind him, appeared in front of him again at some point, standing where Protector Bai had stood before, and was dancing gracefully.

Her captivating figure and graceful dance moves imbued the entire tent with an enchanting allure.

Gao Yi's lips curled up, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"The Palm of Samatha-Vipassana, indeed, you also possess the inheritance of the Ten Abodes Mahayana Technique. This is truly good news."

"Boy, it seems I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to actually recognize the Ten Abodes Mahayana Practice."

The voice of the White Protector rang out, but there was no sign of the other party in sight.

Gao Yi's eyes were clear and bright as he stared intently at the dancing figure, seemingly unaware of the hidden killing intent around him.

"The illusion is beautiful, but it's too contrived. It seems the Protector has only mastered the basics of this technique. I wonder how the other nine abodes are doing?"

"How arrogant! This one move is enough to deal with you. Why would we need anything else?" Protector Bai's angry voice rang out.

"I see."

Gao Yi nodded. It seemed that Protector Bai only knew this one move. He wondered if he hadn't learned it or if the technique had been lost.

"You brat, and you wretched creature, I will make you pay for what you have done today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusion before his eyes became increasingly distorted, and the force of the palms around him suddenly intensified.

Gao Yi narrowed his eyes, and the next second, a unique aura began to emanate from his body.

Place your hands in front of your chest in a mudra position.

"In the beginning of chaos, the three yangs were established. The green yang arose from Dipankara, the red yang blazed in Shakyamuni, and the white yang descended at the end. At that time, the fire of calamity descended, the stars shifted, human relations were disordered, the roots of goodness withered, and Maitreya shed tears."

Gao Yi's voice rang out, as melodious as a great bell, as flowing as a spring, and as gentle as a breeze, shaking the soul and penetrating every nook and cranny.

"You brat, what the hell are you chanting?"

Protector Bai roared repeatedly. The illusion brought about by the Ten Abodes Mahayana Technique had completely disappeared at some point. Bai Yue'er was still standing behind Gao Yi, but she was now panting heavily.

Gao Yi ignored the White Protector's roar.

However, the hand seals that were originally formed had been released, and the right hand lightly reached out and slowly pressed forward.

"The three calamities of Qingyang, Hongyang, and Baiyang are all great calamities in the world, which is also what the Maitreya Sutra refers to as the Three Yang Calamities."

"This freehand technique of mine comes from the Maitreya Sutra, and is called the Three Yang Calamity—"

"Bai Yang!"
