Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 1421 - Killing Badges!

Su Zimo was not surprised that Dapamkara Monastery would make such a choice.

In truth, be it sects, factions or cultivators themselves, they could only live ignobly in the incomparably cruel cultivation world.

Although immortal sects were orthodox and viewed slaying demons and fiends as their responsibilities, they might not interfere if a fearsome demon or fiend truly appeared.

On the contrary, it was not uncommon for immortal and fiend sects to join forces for certain benefits.

It was the same for the Buddhist monasteries.

Buddha was compassionate and purified all living beings. However, how many people who cultivated Buddhism could truly be compassionate and take pity on all living beings?

Notwithstanding Dapamkara Monastery, wouldn't other super sects of the South Region choose to stay out of it as well?

Su Zimo was not surprised either that Ming Zhen would make such a decision.

That was because he had lived at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley with Ming Zhen for a full 20 years and knew the latter way too well!

Ming Zhen had a pure heart and focused wholeheartedly on Buddhism.

Even in this treacherous environment, nothing changed.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once made a vow that he would not become a Buddha until Hell was empty!

It was because Ming Zhen inherited that vow that he was able to obtain the recognition and inheritance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the Dao Inheritance Ground!

Southern Duel Sect was attacked by the Blood Vine race and the dangers there were no different from Hell!

Su Zimo looked at Elder Hui Xing, Abbot Hui Shen and the other monks and said slowly, "Indeed, Ming Zhen is inferior to you guys in terms of cultivation realm. However, none of you can ever compare to his magnanimity!"

The monks sighed and lowered their heads without arguing.

Letting out a long breath, Su Zimo asked again, "What happened after?"

"Ming Zhen insisted on heading there so I could only remind him not to take the risk and to leave as soon as possible if anything went wrong. However…"

Abbot Hui Shen hesitated for a moment and his eyes dimmed as he sighed. "However, Ming Zhen never came out after entering Southern Duel Sect."

Su Zimo's expression turned cold as he questioned loudly, "Ming Zhen was the titular disciple and yet, Dapamkara Monastery chose not to interfere even when something happened to him in the South Region?"

"I… sigh!"

Abbot Hui Shen wanted to say something but eventually, he let out a long sigh.

"How should we interfere? Ming Zhen refused to heed our advice…"

A monk at the side muttered softly.

"What did you say?!"

Su Zimo glared at that person coldly and hollered.

The monk was so scared that he swallowed the words he was about to say and remained silent, not even daring to meet Su Zimo's gaze.

Elder Hui Xing sighed gently. "Patron Desolate Martial, I know that you might not be able to accept some of the things we say. However, we truly have no other choice."

"We heard that the young master of the Blood Vine race led an army this time round and killed his way into Southern Duel Sect. There were thousands of them! As for the young master of the Blood Vine race, Teng Lingzi, he's the strongest monster incarnate of the current generation. Although he's only at the Conjoint Body realm, I'm not his match either."

"Fufu,"

Su Zimo could not help but sneer, "As a super sect, Dapamkara Monastery has Mahayana Patriarchs, right? If Half-Martial Ancestors can't do it, summon Patriarchs out of seclusion! Didn't you guys want to summon a Patriarch to kill me earlier on?"

"Why? You have the guts to kill me but you don't have the guts to kill someone from another race?"

"No,"

Elder Hui Xing shook his head. "If we summon a Patriarch, we can naturally suppress the Blood Vine race in Southern Duel Sect. However, that will definitely alarm the Patriarch of the Blood Vine race and that will be a disaster for Dapamkara Monastery."

"Summon an Emperor at that time then!"

Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "Dapamkara Monastery has a long history. Don't you have any Emperors?"

After a long silence, Elder Hui Xing sent a voice transmission slowly, "Patron Desolate Martial, how difficult is it to become an Emperor? In the history of Dapamkara Monastery, there have indeed been Emperors. However, there were no Patriarchs to become Emperors in this generation."

"This is a secret of Dapamkara Monastery. Patron Desolate Martial, please don't spread it."

Su Zimo was silent.

The fact that Elder Hui Xing could reveal such a secret to him meant that he had indeed given it careful thought before making such a choice.

Elder Hui Xing sent another voice transmission, "We're not alone. We carry the fate of the entire Dapamkara Monastery on our shoulders."

"If we save Ming Zhen and provoke the Patriarch or even the Emperor of the Blood Vine race, the legacy of Dapamkara Monastery will be lost and we'll be eternal sinners of Dapamkara Monastery!"

Although Su Zimo did not agree with Dapamkara Monastery's decision, he could not find the heart to blame them further either.

Against Ming Zhen and the sect's legacy and thousands of monks, Dapamkara Monastery chose the latter to protect the sect's legacy and their monks.

It was hard to tell if the choice was a right or wrong one.

At the very least, Su Zimo did not agree with it.

If they were to retreat in the face of the foreign races today, the latter would definitely push their luck!

A constant retreat was not a solution!

However, even if Dapamkara Monastery wanted to join forces with the other super sects for this matter, they might not receive any response.

Which sect or faction would want to provoke the Primordial Nine Races for no reason and attract trouble for themselves?

After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo asked again, "Since that's the case, why did you guys have to be secretive? All you had to do was explain the matter!"

"Even if you guys feel guilty, it shouldn't be to the extent where you guys should stop me from climbing the mountain and even fight me, right?"

Dapamkara Monastery chose to sacrifice Ming Zhen to protect the sect.

It was only natural for the monks of Dapamkara Monastery to feel guilty and dread facing Su Zimo.

Even so, Dapamkara Monastery's reaction was a little extreme!

"This…"

Abbot Hui Shen hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly, "Patron Desolate Martial, you might not know about it yet. After news of you being alive spread, the God, Witch, Heavenly Eye, Golden Crow, Blood Vine and Rakshasa races laid down Killing Badges for you one after another."

"Killing Badges?"

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes.

He had read some records about that badge in some ancient books as well.

In the primordial era, the Killing Badge was the most threatening death badge of the Primordial Nine Races.

Once the Killing Badge was released, the primordial races would spare no effort to kill the other party!

Anyone who received that badge would be equivalent to a dead man!

In the ancient era, only the Emperors of the human race ever received Killing Badges from the primordial races!

Of course, some Emperors were indeed killed by the primordial races. However, for existences like the Eternal Human Emperor, the primordial races could not do anything to him even with their Killing Badges.

The Killing Badge of the primordial races had not appeared ever since the ancient war.

Nobody expected that badge to descend in this generation!

Furthermore, all six races had released Killing Badges!

"The badges openly stated that anyone who tried to take in Desolate Martial would be massacred in blood by the primordial races!"

Abbot Hui Shen said, "Patron Desolate Martial, please forgive us. I'm afraid no sect or faction in Tianhuang Mainland would dare to have anything to do with you, let alone our Dapamkara Monastery."

Su Zimo understood.

If Dapamkara Monastery did not stop him from climbing the mountain, countless experts of the primordial races would descend upon Dapamkara Monastery if news of this spread!

However, Dapamkara Monastery would not incur the hostility of the primordial races if they fought against Su Zimo.

Therefore, once Su Zimo forced his way up the mountain, Dapamkara Monastery would attack no matter what to avoid the killing intent of the primordial races!
