"Why don't you kill me?"

It was completely dark. Jian Xue Wuming was leaning against a tree trunk with Lian Chen in his arms. In front of him was a blazing bonfire. On the other side of the bonfire was the Buddha-Swallowing Boy, whom he did not want to see.

Ximie Tianlai didn't know what to do, so he only left the Buddha-devouring Boy here to watch over him. Apart from this demon general, the enemy did not use any other means of restraint.

He did suffer some internal injuries from Xi Mie Tianlai, and the place on his shoulder where he was stabbed was also torn, but these injuries were not enough to turn him into a seriously injured person who was unable to escape.

The Buddha-Devouring Boy even returned Lian Yan to himself. As long as he could regulate his internal energy, he would have many chances to escape.

Since he discovered that it was he who sealed Zhu Yan, and knew that he posed a threat to the Buddha-Devouring Boy, in order to avoid future trouble, the other party should have killed him directly.

"Are you so eager to be killed?"

The Buddha-Devouring Boy also captured many prisoners. Some begged for mercy, some threatened, and some even sold out their own people's intelligence in exchange for their own lives in order to protect themselves.

It is rare to see someone like Jian Xue Wuming, who did not worry about his own safety after being captured and even took the initiative to ask the enemy why they didn't kill him.

"Since I have been captured, I will die quickly."

Let's discuss rationally. Jian Xue Wuming is now in the hands of the enemy, and they are two extremely cunning enemies. If he is killed directly, it will pose the least threat to Bu Bu Lianhua and Shan Fa Tianzi, rather than being used as a hostage.

"You are so anxious to commit suicide. This good friend of mine will be sad."

"you are not."

Jian Xue Wuming's reply to this sentence was more decisive than any of his previous ones. The person in front of him was the ruthless and cruel demon general Tunfo Tongzi, who had unknown origins and was not his best friend at all.

"If you think about it, Yijian Fengshan is the deputy, and I am the master. Do you understand, kid?"

From the very beginning, the Buddha-Devouring Boy was like this. The Yijian Fengshan personality that was born from the plot of Yilian's reincarnation actually hindered his actions.

"In my eyes, good is the main thing and evil is secondary."

"You are a little too naive to debate good and evil with the devil."

The Buddha-Swallowing Boy picked up the Zhuyan that was placed aside, with the tip of the sword pointing downward, and thrust it straight forward.

"I'm very curious, how did you gain Zhu Yan's approval?"

The other party is opposite to him in all aspects, so the Buddha-Swallowing Boy is very curious about what Jianxue Wuming did to make the magic sword Zhu Yan recognize him and be willing to change its form to be used by Jianxue Wuming.

"No comment."

"Don't you want to see Yijian Fengchan again?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

When Ximie Tianlai pulled Zhu Yan out of the scabbard, he realized that the lock in the scabbard had been destroyed by the other party using special means, and the person who had made the scabbard had long since disappeared. Even if he could seal Zhu Yan back, its effectiveness would not be as good as before.

In other words, even if the Buddha-Devouring Boy gave him Zhu Yan now, he would not be sure enough to seal it back. Even if it was sealed, it would be very easy to break the seal in the future.

Unless Yibu Lianhua can find them as soon as possible and capture the Buddha-Devouring Boy alive and bring him back to the Holy Land's Wansheng Rock for "conversion", otherwise, his hope of seeing Yijian Fengshan again will be very slim.

It was clear that the two had just reunited, but they parted so quickly.

"The teacher said you are of great use, more useful than just killing you."

Seeing that Jian Xue Wuming was about to return to his autistic state with his sword in his arms, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy spoke first and said something that would attract the other party's attention.

There were only the two of them here, and no other people. The only sound was the crackling of the bonfire burning in front of them. No one knew when Ximie Tianlai would come back. If Jianxue Wuming continued to be autistic, he would be bored.

Especially when there is a special person like Jianxue Wuming in front of him, complete silence is not the style of the Swallowing Buddha Boy.

"Before that, the Saint Venerable wants me to go to Wansheng Rock. It's hard to say whether the sword will still exist by then."

The difference after waking up again is that the Buddha-Swallowing Boy's memory of this period is no longer as vague as before and he can't make out anything. The recent memory of the sword-enshrining ceremony is unexpectedly clear in his mind.

For example, Yibu Lianhua used himself as a "enemy" as bait to make Yijian Fengchan determined to go to the Holy Land of All Saints Rock. The Buddha-Tunfu Tongzi could see that the other party's real target was not Yijian Fengchan, but himself who was sealed.

If Ximie Tianlai fails to intercept, Yijian Fengchan will follow Jianxue Wuming to the Holy Land of All Saints Rock, and if Yibu Lianhua does something with the methods left by Yilian Tuisheng, then they will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's den, with no chance of turning over.

"The Holy Lord will not harm Yijian Fengchan."

"Why? Do you think that the Saint can make me like him, with the distinction between good and evil, and then you can run away with your good friend?"

The situation of Yibu Lianhua and Ximie Tianlai is rare in the world. Moreover, in the eyes of Tunfo Tongzi, the birth of Yijian Fengshan was entirely due to external forces. He was a lotus reincarnated to trick him and was unable to fight against his own main personality at all.

When he said this, Jian Xue Wuming fell silent again. When facing Yijian Fengchan and Tunfo Tongzi respectively, the change in their attitudes could truly be described as "a world of difference".

It is obvious that they are essentially the same person, or the same demon. After all, even if Yijian Fengshan has lost his demonic nature, his body still belongs to the demon clan, Tunfo Tongzi. But here with Jianxue Wuming, one is treated as a human swordsman, and the other as a terrifying demon.

"We have a long time to spend together. Let's wait and see whether I can be considered as a master of the art of enthronement with one sword."

But the prerequisite is that Jian Xue Wuming will still be alive to make the final decision.

"It seems like you guys get along well."

Ximie Tianlai came back quietly, wearing a black robe and carrying a red devilish aura. He walked in the silent night like a ghost. If an ordinary person got lost and saw him here at this time, he would probably be scared to death.

"The matter has been dealt with, it's time to go."

When he left, he briefly retraced the route they had taken out of Liao State, and set up some spells that could interfere with the enemy's pursuit, making it impossible for them to find any trace of their group.

Since you have taken Jianxue Wuming away, you must be prepared to be chased all the way.

"Where?"

"Central Plains."

"If I remember correctly, there is no partner there that you would consider suitable."

At the beginning, Ximie Tianlai cooperated with Yujie, which was in the Western Regions. He went north to Liao, but after learning of Ji Wuxia's appearance, he concluded that the three bodies of Poxun must have become separated and no longer contacted them.

Afterwards, as he said, the plan of the Desire Realm failed. Now there should be no one in the Central Plains who can cooperate. There are still Buddhists who have not left there. There is no benefit for them to go there.

"The Central Plains is rich in spiritual energy, and it is more suitable for what we are going to do next."

Ximie Tianlai paused and turned to look at Jianxue Wuming, who was somewhat resistant.

"Of course, you have to go too."

"I can escape."

His injuries were not serious, and he had his hands and feet intact. He was not shackled, not poisoned, and he had Lian Yan. He could easily escape from here under the cover of night.

"Escape? Of course you can escape, to a deserted border, where no one knows you."

Ximie Tianlai certainly had his own confidence as he didn't tie the man up. Not to mention whether Jianxue Wuming could escape the eyes of a near-god-like powerful being, this was not the road that Shanfa Tianzi brought him to, and no one knew Jianxue Wuming except them.

In the absence of a customs pass, when such a strange man appeared at the border between the two countries, naturally no one dared to let him enter.

"If you run away, I will have the Buddha-devouring boy catch you. It will be up to you to decide where the demonic fire spreads."

"..."

Jian Xue Wuming heard that this was a threat from the other party. Wherever he ran to, the Buddha-Devouring Boy would bring the devil fire to wreak havoc there. If they passed by human habitation, ordinary people would not have the means to extinguish the devil fire, which would be equivalent to Jian Xue Wuming bringing them an unexpected disaster.

Even if there are no tough measures on the surface, I must follow them and follow the enemy to the Central Plains.

"The spiritual energy in the Central Plains is indeed abundant, but what's the use of it?"

The Buddha-Devouring Boy asked, Ximie Tianlai’s pursuit is not to destroy the world, but to establish a new religious order. Other villains destroy the earth veins mostly out of the need for invasion, but Ximie Tianlai does not need this need.

"With enough spiritual energy, you can build a bridge to other hidden realms. Through this, you can complete your original mission."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the Buddha-Devouring Boy became interested. Jian Xue Wuming didn't understand the riddle between them and couldn't just escape, so he could only think of some other ways.

For example, he could leave some message for Yibu Lianhua and the others, or he could try again to get Zhu Yan.

Just as the Buddha-Swallowing Boy said, he had already obtained Zhu Yan's recognition. Even if he could not seal it after he succeeded, he could directly drive it. Although it could not destroy the enemy's plan, it could at least restrict the Buddha-Swallowing Boy's actions.

He had to find a way to let Yibu Lianhua and Shanfa Tianzi know which direction they were heading.

……

In Jiangnan, Lu Xiaofeng finally cleaned up the mess. Sikong Zhaixing stayed in the Yingou Casino and found out a lot of Fang Yufei's tricks. Later, with Aunt Li Xiang's corrections and Hanmei as a witness, Blue Beard finally realized that he had been cheated by his new love, Fang Yuxiang.

Then as soon as the matter was over, Lu Xiaofeng ran to Hua Manlou to complain.

"Amakusa and the others have returned?"

"I went back very early."

Hua Manlou was watering the potted plants. Although the flower demon incident had happened before, he was still as careful as ever in treating the flowers and plants, as if that incident had never happened.

"You went to Halasu, where many people from the Liao Kingdom in the Northern Territory came from. Did you hear any news?"

"That's not the case. Halasu is in such a mess that I can't even take care of myself, so how can I listen to any news?"

"Halasu is in such a mess, and you have to bear a lot of responsibility."

As a bystander, Jian Suifeng saw clearly how chaotic Halasu was. If Lu Xiaofeng had not joined in and sparked a war between the women, the situation would not have been so chaotic.

"I had no choice. By the way, Hua Manlou, why are you paying attention to the Liao Kingdom?"

"From what Mr. Ru Yueying said, the Liao Kingdom issue may be difficult to resolve."

He even heard from Ru Yueying that because of what happened to the Buddhists in Liao, Ru Yueying and Amakusa Twenty-six had to go back and not come out again, otherwise there would be extremely serious consequences.

"Mr. Ru Yueying said that there is a black lotus in Buddhism that has transformed into a human form. I am quite curious."

"Black Lotus turns into a human? Isn't that the Qianye Legend of the Sunblind Clan... No, he is not from Buddhism, not even from the Three Religions or Four Religions."

Jian Suifeng thought about it carefully, but unfortunately he was not familiar with Buddhism and had never heard of the Black Lotus.

"So, there is more than one Black Lotus?"

Since black flowers are extremely rare, and Hua Manlou has never seen a black variety of lotus, he was curious about the black lotus that Ruyueying mentioned. After all, Jian Suifeng was also on that side, so he asked about it.

Unexpectedly, there was more than one so-called "black lotus", and they all turned into human forms. And according to Jian Suifeng and Ru Yueying, it seems that the two of them were not flower demons transforming, but more like new life was born from the lotus.

"It's normal. We don't have anything else there, just a lot of fancy and showy operations. There are so many Buddhists raising lotuses, so it's normal for a few rare species to transform into humans."

It is better to say that it is not uncommon for anything to turn into a human in their country, and their species diversity is second to none.

"But the Liao Kingdom... who is the Liao Kingdom there?"

"The holy master and mentor of the Holy Land of All Saints."

Hua Manlou remembers this very clearly.

“…That’s really hard to do.”

Jian Suifeng's expression became a little strange.

"The Saint of Wansheng Rock is a Buddha who has already become a saint. He is a near-god in another form. It is no problem for him to help fight the evil gods. It has taken so long for him to be dealt with..."

To be honest, this efficiency is not in line with the efficient mode of Buddhist masters who usually use great strength, flying bricks, and violent crushing.

In other words, for a master of this level to take so long to deal with something that has not been completed, either the other side has a master of equal strength, or the whole thing is extremely complicated. Both are not good things for the righteous.

"You don't know who the enemy is?"

"I don't know. Senior Tianji didn't tell me."

"Didn't you know what happened here before you came?"

"I know this, isn't it the thing in the Western Buddhist world... Hanba?"

"Lu Xiaofeng."

Hua Manlou sighed softly.

"It has been a year since the Pure Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva healed my eyes."

No matter how much advance knowledge Jian Suifeng had, it would be difficult for him to pay attention to the details of something that happened a year ago without anyone to explain it to him.

"It's been a year..."

Only then did Lu Xiaofeng realize that Jian Suifeng didn't know who the enemy in the Liao Kingdom was. They had met Ximie Tianlai before, and they already knew about the Holy Land Wansheng Rock chasing the Liao Kingdom when they were in the Western Regions, but when these happened, Yunhai Xianmen had not heard of it.

At this moment, Jian Suifeng's identity as a "latecomer" suddenly became clear. It turned out that a long time had passed since the initial invasion of the Desire Realm.

"It seems that the Liao Kingdom's affairs are indeed troublesome."

Whether it is about Buddhism or anything else, a year-long battle is so troublesome that it is hard to imagine.

"Did Ruyueying tell you anything?"

Hua Manlou seemed to know more than himself, so Jian Suifeng came over and asked about Hua Manlou.

"Not much has been said, but from what Mr. Ru Yueying said, the affairs of the Liao Kingdom will become more and more troublesome..."
