Chapter 345: Chapter 247: Ming King!
Zhao Yi just glanced inside the Great Hero Hall, and felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
The magnificent and grand Great Hero Hall, the renowned Buddha’s Dojo, instead of showing any majestic solemnity, seed more like an endless demonic cave, exuding an infinite evil aura.
"Evil!"
Zhao Yi’s expression was grave, and he stepped back several paces until he felt that evil gaze dissipate from him, before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Crown Prince, what’s wrong?"
Hui Lun saw Zhao Yi retreat, looking puzzled, not understanding why Zhao Yi stood at the door and didn’t enter.
Zhao Yi looked at Hui Lun and saw that there wasn’t any change on his face, causing Zhao Yi’s brows to furrow even deeper.
"Did you not feel anything unusual just now?" Zhao Yi asked.
Unusual?
Hui Lun was montarily stunned, then shook his head and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, this humble monk did not feel anything unusual."
Hmm?
Zhao Yi’s face was serious as he turned to look at the monks behind Hui Lun.
"And you?" Zhao Yi asked.
The monks exchanged glances and also all shook their heads.
"This humble monk felt nothing."
"Nor did I."
"What does the Crown Prince an by unusual?"
"This is the Great Hero Hall, with the true form of the Buddha here; how could there be anything unusual?"
What if the unusual thing is the Buddha?
Zhao Yi thought sarcastically but did not vocalize it.
These monks are all fanatical believers of the Buddha.
Because of a decree from the Buddha, even soone like Zhao Yi, a great enemy, they could greet with a smile.
Zhao Yi could imagine.
If he said the Great Hero Hall inside was a demon cave, these monks would definitely fight him to the death.
The monks’ responses did not dispel Zhao Yi’s doubts, but rather cast a heavy shadow over the Great Hero Hall before him.
Sothing’s not right, very wrong indeed.
Although Zhao Yi didn’t understand why the monks hadn’t noticed sothing wrong,
he was certain.
The things inside the Great Hero Hall were definitely problematic.
However, Zhao Yi had too little information to know what exactly was inside.
And why that thing was fixated on him!
"What does the Buddha want from ?"
Zhao Yi decided to first find out what that demon disguised as the Buddha was plotting.
If it was too dangerous, he planned to leave.
And if the monks tried to stop him, Zhao Yi would kill them and leave.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Hui Lun chanted a Buddhist na, clasping his hands together respectfully: "The Great Hero Hall is right in front of you. Why doesn’t the Crown Prince enter and ask the Buddha in person?"
Zhao Yi randomly made up an excuse, casually dismissing: "You disciples really don’t know how to handle things! What is the Buddha’s identity? Does His Holiness stoop to explain to ?"
Upon hearing this, Hui Lun was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreent: "You’re right, Crown Prince, I indeed did not think it through thoroughly!"
After speaking, Hui Lun said: "The Buddha issued a decree, bestowing upon the Crown Prince the title of Dharma-Protector Bright King of the Buddhist Sect. As long as the Crown Prince enters the Great Hero Hall to pay homage to the Buddha, you can receive the Ming King’s Treasure Seal and achieve the status of ’Unmoving Bright King’!"
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Once Hui Lun finished speaking, the monks all bowed to Zhao Yi.
"Congratulations, Bright King!"
"Hold on a minute." Zhao Yi interrupted the monks.
He turned to glance at the Great Hero Hall, then asked Hui Lun with a strange expression: "If I’m not mistaken, the status of the Unmoving Bright King in the Buddhist Sect seems to be very high, just below the Buddha, right? Are you sure the Buddha wants
to be the Unmoving Bright King of the Buddhist Sect?"
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Hui Lun responded earnestly: "The decree of the Buddha is naturally absolutely true."
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow: "Doesn’t the Buddha know that I’ve destroyed the temples on Suru Mountain and the Little Leiyin Temple, killing all the monks?"
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Hui Lun’s brow twitched, and now his mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Only his supre faith in the Buddha suppressed his dissatisfaction, preventing him from turning against Zhao Yi.
"Worry not, Crown Prince."
Hui Lun, after so ntal preparation, quickly regained his composure.
Looking at Zhao Yi, it was unclear whether he was trying to persuade Zhao Yi or deceive himself, as he solemnly and earnestly said: "Those disciples have not died; they have returned to the Buddha’s embrace, enjoying the supre path in the Divine Kingdom."
Upon hearing Hui Lun’s words, compassion flashed in Zhao Yi’s eyes as he looked at him.
He shook his head, sighing: "I don’t want to crush your beliefs, but I also don’t want to see you deceived."
"There is no such thing as a Divine Kingdom; those monks who died are truly dead, not returning to the embrace of the Buddha!"
"They can’t even enter reincarnation, and the undead mages of the Magic World say their ghosts are wandering all over Suru Mountain."
"There’s an undead mage capturing those monks’ ghosts; if you go out now, you can see it!"
Before Hui Lun could respond, the monks behind him erupted.
"Outrageous!"
"How can the Outer Heaven Demon be so depraved!"
"Daring to insult Buddhist Sect disciples, they must have a death wish!"
"Abbot, let’s deal with the magical foe!"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi’s mouth twitched.
So... you all don’t believe in that Divine Kingdom nonsense either?
If these monks believed that after death their souls would ascend to the Buddha’s Divine Kingdom, they’d surely scoff at Zhao Yi’s words.
But now... they couldn’t wait to rush out and tear Su Qianqian apart!
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Hui Lun raised his voice, suppressing all the murmuring sounds.
As if he had completed a self-brainwashing, Hui Lun smiled at Zhao Yi: "Crown Prince, you’re joking. When Buddhist Sect disciples achieve nirvana, their souls ascend to the Buddha’s Divine Kingdom; it’s impossible for them to beco wandering ghosts."
Once he finished, Hui Lun seed a bit impatient and urged: "Crown Prince, please enter quickly; do not keep the Buddha waiting."
Even if nothing was wrong with the Buddha, Zhao Yi didn’t want to get too close to him.
Not to ntion the clearly dubious thing inside the Great Hero Hall.
Zhao Yi would have to be crazy to walk in and deliver himself.
Thinking this, Zhao Yi discreetly backed away.
"I just rembered, there’s dog at stewing in the kitchen."
"I originally intended to invite you all, but monks don’t eat dog at, right?"
"That’s really unfortunate; I can only enjoy it myself!"
As Zhao Yi spoke, he retreated to the edge of the valley; a couple more steps and he would fall into the river.
The Secret Realm was covered in golden light, yet the river was a breach.
Once inside, the golden light couldn’t sense him, and whatever was inside the Great Hero Hall couldn’t directly attack him.
Whatever intentions it had for Zhao Yi, it would have to leave the Great Hero Hall.
As long as it showed its true form, Zhao Yi could easily destroy it!
Seeing Zhao Yi about to escape, Hui Lun’s previously calm face suddenly twisted.
From his face emanated thick black smoke, and his eyes turned blood-red, extrely terrifying to behold!
"Why?"
Hui Lun suddenly spoke.
He seed like a different person, his voice hoarse and ear-piercing, like the wailing of evil spirits, filled with demonic sounds.
Not only was it unpleasant, but it was terrifying.
"Why, why aren’t you coming in?"
