He was actually defeated by a lower three path's creature.
The Honored Sir looked at Helian Wei Wei, no longer hiding the viciousness in his eyes. He said as blood squirted out of his throat, "You… Ahem, you think you can live happily after killing me. Ahem, you're destined to never find love since the day you were born. If...if you behaved, stayed at Buddhism, and obeyed the orders, I wouldn't do anything to you. But unfortunately, you've such a strong pride and it made things turn out, ahem, turn out like this. It's still the same, you won't find happiness. Everything and everyone will approach you with an agenda. Those people with no agenda will never stay with you. You and Emperor, both of you, ahem, are destined to not last forever!"
After growling out his last words, the Honored Sir's ribs were instantly smashed into pieces.
His eyes widened in terror.
It was not Helian Wei Wei, but Baili Jia Jue. Looking down with his charming eyes, he exerted a powerful force, as his eyes turned golden like Tian Dao's gold.
Bang!
The Honored Sir's body was chopped through the middle, and his twisted face remained briefly mid-air, before falling onto the ground and becoming a murky splat of blood.
Helian Wei Wei simply stood there with her Bone Scythe remained unsheathed. Suddenly, she thrust the scythe and sliced upward!
Countless beams of Light of Buddha shone above the Hall of Great Strength, and fell on every Honored Buddha, like a rain of merciless blades.
In the blink of an eye, every Buddha Soul within 3,000 miles was utterly destroyed!
Honored Sir was completely atomized as well, every drop of his kindness and evilness disintegrated into ashes with a howl from the Phoenix.
The Buddhas' excruciating expressions seemed more terrifying than the ghosts in the Sea of Blood. After their souls were extracted and destroyed, their Buddha's bodies transformed into ashes.
With a powerful gust of wind, everything vanished and nothing remained.
The Son of King of Hell stood there coolly, and instantly looked outside the hall.
On the 999 stairs of Heaven, Light of Buddhas was still faintly visible on the heads of the Little Shamis that were meditating to protect the temple.
Mythical birds flew above the icebergs, as Bodhi rose from the earth. It was a miracle, where all the Buddhas returned to their ranking, and the Dharma fate of Sakyamuni would soon achieve oneness.
Buddhism started from the heart.
So, it turned out that Phoenix's existence in Buddhism was never for killing.
In fact, she was the only one who could help the True Buddha achieve oneness.
"Amitabha." All the Little Shamis were smiling at Helian Wei Wei, while looking bright and kind.
Meanwhile, Little Monk ran toward them and put his arms around Helian Wei Wei's waist. He was very petite, so he looked up to stare at Helian Wei Wei with bright eyes, "Lord, I knew you would come back!"
Helian Wei Wei smiled gently with a languid expression, saying, "Uhm, but I'm leaving now to the human world."
"Go then." Little Monk smiled and said. "I'll recite scriptures for you at Buddhism and pray for Buddha to look after you. But it's so weird, why am I still like this when all of my friends have become Buddhas?"
Seeing that Helian Wei Wei remained silent, Little Monk looked at his small hands and smiled again, adding, "I must not be working hard enough. I'll read the scriptures properly, and also clean the place that you lived in every day. You can still come back if you want."
Nobody uttered a word when they heard Little Monk, but they clearly knew that if Phoenix were to leave now…
It would be impossible for her to return to Buddhism.
She had used too much energy, and she was pregnant.
If she wanted to return to Buddhism, she must give up her children.
The Phoenix would never do this.
She wanted to take control of her own life, and do what she d.e.s.i.r.ed.
This was what Little Monk wanted to say, but he was too young and his intelligence was too shallow to understand what destiny was.
"I'll remember that you're in Buddhism." Helian Wei Wei lowered her head and rubbed Little Monk's head. Then, her last trail of memory of her escaping from her shell had returned. It was a small face that could tolerate everything in this world, how familiar indeed. She uttered quietly, "Sakyamuni..."
Little Monk did not hear clearly and asked, "Lord, pardon me?"
"Nothing." Helian Wei Wei pulled her hand back and looked toward Baili Jia Jue. Seeing that he was staring at the Little Monk who was hugging her waist, she could not help but smile. No wonder I felt a chill on my back just now, it seems like His Highness is getting jealous again.
Little Monk wanted to add something.
However, he was cut short by a cool and deep voice. "You don't need to read scriptures?"
Little Monk dared not argue with the Emperor, so he simply replied softly, "I want to send off my Lord, I can read my scriptures later."
"She's mine, does she need you to send her off?" asked Baili Jia Jue as he dragged Helian Wei Wei to his side. Then, he stared emotionlessly at Little Monk and continued, "If you keep procrastinating, when will you become Buddha? People around you have all become Buddhas, but you're still so small. Do you ever wonder why?"
Little Monk was agitated, but he contained his fury in silence as he glanced at him. Then, he muttered to Phoenix, "Farewell, my Lord. I'll go and read the scriptures now, I'll become a Buddha, I promise!"
After that, Little Monk ran away holding the Buddhist scriptures in his arms. Biting the tip of the pencil, he began to read the scriptures diligently.
Helian Wei Wei looked at his back with a faint smile on her face. Beneath the bright rays of light, everything seemed so serene and tranquil.
The Son of King of Hell touched his chin and tut-tutted, saying, "A Buddha indeed has a million faces, I think the Honored Sir can never speculate that Sakyamuni's Dharma fate has turned into Bodhi, and his real body is actually a kid."
Baili Jia Jue stood right beside him and spoke calmly with a smile, seeming gentle and graceful but his eyes were cold, "Kids are normally a hassle, especially this kid. I used to find him quite annoying. Turns out, there's a reason for it."
The Son of King of Hell was speechless. Hold on, Great Demon King, you're crossing the line if you want to kill him simply because of this.
However, the Little Monk was very afraid of the Great Demon King. What a poor kid, he doesn't even know how he annoyed him.
"Let's go.'' Helian Wei Wei looked up and landed a kiss on Baili Jia Jue's lips.
Only then, his eyes turned softer and his smile became more normal. Nonetheless, they could still sense the dangerous aura from him.
Especially when he walked forward while holding Helian Wei Wei, thousands of demons followed behind him, brandishing their claws while being unimaginably obedient to him at the same time.
The sky had turned onyx black. All his affection seemed to be reserved for one person. For everything else in the world, they would suffer his endless murderous and demonic aura…
He did not notice the deep sadness in Helian Wei Wei's eyes when she lowered her head.
That was the first time that Helian Wei Wei had shown this expression.
She always had ample confidence for everything she did, but she began to have scruples after seeing the last calculation of the Honored Sir before he died.
No matter what, she must hide it from him.
Perhaps from now on, she should nurture the relationship between the babies and him.
Basically, Helian Wei Wei always made prompt actions after she thought of it.
After returning to the carriage, she asked the man who was reading a book, to lean over and listen to the sounds in her belly.
However, he leisurely glanced at her and spoke with a serious face, "You're not in a good condition now and shouldn't have any intimacy, so stop seducing me."
Shocked by his reply, Heli
an Wei Wei was completely speechless…
Chapter 862 - 858
She simply wanted to let him listen to the babies, when did she try to seduce him!
Speechless, she realized that she would never understand His Highness' divine mind.
"Are you sad because I didn't kiss you?" Baili Jia Jue put the old scroll in his hands aside, and pinched her chin with a smile on his face.
Before Helian Wei Wei could say anything, the Son of the King of Hell in the same carriage could not endure it anymore, and bared his teeth at Baili Jia Jue as he said, "Excuse me, there's a child here. Please don't teach me weird things, and kindly don't show your affection in front of a bachelor!"
Baili Jia Jue looked at him calmly and said coldly, "Why are you still here?"
What do you mean by asking why am I still here?! The Son of King of Hell was enraged and bellowed, "You haven't done what you promised me! You said that if I follow you to Buddhism, you'll go to the Underworld and fight my dad!"
"I did say that." Baili Jia Jue laid back lazily, and hugged Helian Wei Wei to his side. He stared at the King of Hell's Son and added, "But did I say I will fulfill it?"
The Son of King of Hell was completely bent out of shape about it, pointing a finger at him and furiously saying, "You are sly, and shameless!"
"Demons are always sly, you people from the Underworld are not much different from us." Baili Jia Jue carried the Son of the King of Hell up and threw him out.
As he watched the carriage speeding toward the capital, the Son of the King of Hell rolled on the ground. However, he was not furious. He merely smiled devilishly as he carried the huge ax on his shoulder, muttering to himself, "Since you don't want to visit the Underworld to find my dad, I'll make my dad find you. He treats you as a love rival anyways, jokes on you for being more good looking than him."
The Son of King of Hell felt absolutely sassy after saying that, so he took out his small mirror and coolly set his hair.
Since this was the official's road, a lot of people used it to enter the capital.
Those people were already exhausted after their journey, but they did not expect to see a child being thrown out from the carriage in front of them.
What a poor child, what a waste of that face, sigh.
The people shook their heads and continued walking.
The capital was totally different from the past, as the security checks were very strict now.
It seemed that it was because the Retired Emperor was ill and the Third Prince still had not returned. The Seventh Prince was too young, so the state affairs in the palace were taken over by the four ministers in the cabinet.
Ever since the Third Prince revamped the ministry, very few people dared to abuse their power anymore.
This time, some ministers appeared again for some unknown reasons.
Could it be that the rumors are true, claiming that the Third Prince can't make it back after going to the dangerous ancient tomb that nobody is courageous enough to enter, to prevent the demonic aura from invading the capital? Is that why the ministers start to act so brazenly like this?
The commoners knew nothing, but they were forced to pay a fee to the officers for no reason whenever they entered the capital. If they don't pay, they would not let them in the Capital.
Baili Jia Jue's carriage was also stopped.
The two shadow guards that drove the carriage exchanged glances with each other and ordered calmly and emotionlessly, "Step aside."
The officers had never seen such rude people, so he took out his sword and shouted, "You want me to step aside? You have some guts! I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with foolish people who can't read the situation like you. Hand in your money and I'll let you pass. If you don't, go back to wherever you came from. I don't want to arrest people anymore, I'm so tired of doing it every day!"
After that, the officer walked toward the carriage with a whip in his hand.
Inside the carriage, Helian Wei Wei was sitting in Baili Jia Jue's embrace. She unconsciously raised her beautiful brows after hearing what the officer said.
On the other hand, Baili Jia Jue simply looked indifferent. He stopped flipping the pages, and rested his fair fingertips on one side, but his eyes were scathingly cold.
He really hated being disturbed.
This was something that Helian Wei Wei knew all along.
However, this man became more possessive with her, and had to hold her in his arms even while he was reading. He hugged her from behind with a nonchalant gaze and lazily asked her to flip the pages.
He truly is a master. Helian Wei Wei pinched his hand and smiled gently, as she liked to toy with his hands. They were always noble and slender, with a comfortable temperature.
Baili Jia Jue also enjoyed being held by her like this, it felt like holding the paws of his pet kitten. Although he never raised cats, he had raised a Phoenix before. It felt good to be relied on by his pet.
Baili Jia Jue was slightly upset. Thus, he grabbed her hand again and merely uttered a word to the people outside nonchalantly, "Scram."
The surrounding crowd of people took a deep breath when they heard him…
They were astounded by the courage of the speaker.
They knew that officer, he was a subordinate of the four ministers and was simply doing his job as ordered. Even most of the foreign officers did not dare to challenge him due to his prestige, and were forced to meekly pay their money as told.
But the man in the carriage actually asked him to scram?
"Ahh, my bad temper is acting up again. Who are you asking to get lost?" The officer did not expect them to be so ignorant. Furthermore, the carriage did not belong to any of the masters in the capital. He suddenly lost his temper as his anger rose to its boiling point, and said, "I kindly let you go, but you're too stupid to accept my offer! Soldiers, destroy this carriage, arrest everyone inside, and lock them up in jail!"
The officer yelled while raising the whip in his hand, and he was nearly slapping them.
In the next second, he was picked up from behind by the shadow guard, and dropped forcefully on the floor with a loud thud!
The officer's face contorted in pain, and he could feel that it was covered in blood. Hence, his voice grew angrier as he roared, "Send the army, send as many soldiers as possible! Bring my uncle here too! Kill all of them, kill all of these ignorant fools!"
Until another word echoed mercilessly from the carriage.
"Kill."
Only then, they began to make a move. When they unsheathed their swords and slashed with such fluid shadow-like movements, four to five people convulsed and instantly fell onto the floor.
Only the officer was left standing, with his face turning ashen white in terror as he stared at the carriage, utterly mortified.
The owner of that sound did not show himself at all.
However, it was even more horrifying because he did not reveal himself.
He initially assumed that the two people standing before him were just some common warriors that knew a little martial arts. However, after the previous incident…
He realized that they were not easy opponents.
However, these two powerful people still had to obey the orders of the person in the carriage.
Chapter 863 - A Handsome Kill
"What audacity!" In the midst of the chaos, a ferocious man in armor walked over. He looked like he was from the military barracks. He stared angrily at the carriage that was about to break into the city, then he looked at his wounded nephew on the ground and his eyes narrowed in an instant, "How dare you attack the officers of the imperial court in public, are you rebels or are you just tired of living? I'm giving you a chance to survive now. Get out of the car and come with me right now. If not, I will take your lives!"
As he spoke, he slammed his long knife onto the ground. With a loud bang, splits appeared in the ground one after another!
The people outside the city were terrified by the sight of this
scene. They hurriedly hid aside as they looked at the man with their faces full of fear.
As they hid, the carriage was now the only thing left in the middle of the road. The sight of it was hard to ignore.
Two shadow guards stood still at both sides of the carriage.
The people in the carriage had no intention of getting out at all.
The general of the city guard was completely furious by now!
"Well, very well, it seems like you've chosen the forfeit instead of the toast huh? Archers standby, shoot all these lawless people to their deaths!"
Obviously, compared to the lead officer on the ground, this man was much more powerful. Once his order was given, whizzes were heard all around!
Hundreds of soldiers within and beyond the city wall raised their bows and arrows!
Every single arrow was pointed at the carriage in the middle of the road!
"Shoot!" The general of the city guard gave the order ruthlessly. He was a violent person by nature, and the other party had injured his nephew. If he did not kill these people personally, it would be hard for him to tame the hatred in his heart!
Whiz, whiz, whiz!
Hundreds of arrows were fired at the same time, each of them carrying the howling sounds of wind.
Even the commoners could not bear to witness this blood splattering scene as they all turned their heads away.
But no one could have anticipated that at the very moment before the arrow reached the carriage!
The air suddenly moved and the carriage seemed to be covered in a layer of thin light.
Everyone in the War Dragon Empire knew that it was a martial spiritual force that could only be generated by Gold League warriors!
Those arrows appeared to be blocked and remained stagnant in the air as they were unable to move forward.
Then, a loud bang was heard!
All the arrows were smashed into pieces by the strong force!
In the midst of all the dust within and outside of the city, all eyes widened.
The injured officer on the ground looked at the general of the city guard and stammered, "Un-uncle, who are these people? How could they be so powerful?"
