Book 07 Chapter 065: Source of Trouble
A vast fog shrouded Borderless Heavenly Capital.
Gu Hai charged in, his eyes blazing with rage.
Swastikas appeared everywhere in the vast fog. This symbol spread throughout Borderless Heavenly Capital as someone chanted the scriptures. When countless citizens heard this, they covered their ears in pain. However, some citizens suddenly pressed their palms together, appearing to have a heart for Buddhism. Those people’s eyes turned blank.
“The Future Scripture? Forcibly purifying the Borderless Heavenly Capital citizens?” the Unborn Man said in shock and rage.
When Gu Hai purified the corpse demons at Three Mountains City, that was a good purification. He had done it to return those people to their senses. However, the Future Buddha was performing a malicious purification, wanting to brainwash everyone.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
At the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza, one hundred thousand Divine Demon Army soldiers roared, using their vehement shouts of “kill” to counter the erosion of the Future Scripture’s chanting.
The buddhas, bodhisattvas, and arhats following behind the Future Buddha chanted with all their might, trying to purify the Han Nation officials at the Soaring Palace Hall.
A transparent ball of light covered the palace. When the Future Buddha landed palm strikes on the transparent ball, the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza only shook slightly; the officials remained fine.
“The Primal Essence Pearl? Humph! Although it can stop this buddha’s palm strikes, it cannot stop this buddha’s voice. Let’s see how long you can last!” the Future Buddha said coldly.
After the Future Buddha spoke, the chanting intensified. Although Heaven had taken away the calligraphy Dao laws, all calligraphy Dao scriptures previously existing in the world could still be used.
The Buddhist chanting resounded throughout the city.
“Argh!”
Black smoke immediately came out of Chang Ming’s body; he was being purified by the Buddhist chanting, which put him in incredible pain. The blood race seemed particularly vulnerable to the Buddhist chanting.
Chang Ming had enveloped the entire palace with the Primal Essence Pearl, sacrificing the opportunity to defend himself with everything he had. He was suffering torture.
It was not just Chang Ming. Countless Han Nation officials covered their ears, not wanting to hear the Buddhist chanting and get purified.
“Savant Wisdom Divine Cane, Green Light Obstructing Demons!” Mo Yike shouted.
Qin Zibai operated the Savant Wisdom Divine Cane, making it give off a green light that bathed the Han Nation officials. This stimulated the Han Nation officials, preventing them from being brainwashed and controlled. Even so, they could not block out the Buddhist chanting.
“The Savant Wisdom Divine Cane? That is the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s treasure. It is time to take it back!” the Future Buddha said coldly.
“Future Buddha, you barged into my Borderless Heavenly Capital today and harmed the Han Nation officials and citizens. Have you considered the consequences?” Mo Yike said ferociously.
“Consequences? Humph! You are placing your hopes on Gu Hai, right? He cannot even protect himself now and will die. You had better think about yourselves instead. Give up resisting and let me search Borderless Heavenly Capital. I can spare you from death!” the Future Buddha retorted coldly.
Some officials looked at Mo Yike with pleading eyes. Clearly, they could not endure the purification, and their hearts had wavered.
“Give up resisting? Haha! Do you think we are stupid? Right now, we can resist, so you can’t kill us. If we give up resistance, you can do anything you want to us!” Mo Yike said coldly.
The wavering officials’ expressions promptly changed as they turned their heads back.
“You don’t trust me? If I say I’ll spare you, I’ll spare you!” the Future Buddha said.
“I can’t trust you,” Mo Yike retorted coldly.
“You bastard!” the Future Buddha snarled, incredibly incensed.
“Trusting the enemy is simply cruelty to oneself. Do you think I am that stupid? You are negotiating with us only because you cannot do anything to us. If you could hurt us, would you bother speaking with us? Humph! Future Buddha, Kong Xuan and the others have already returned. This means that His Reverence will return soon. When His Reverence returns, all of you can forget about leaving!” Mo Yike roared.
When Mo Yike roared, all the citizens felt startled. That’s right! His Reverence will be back soon. What is there to worry about? When His Reverence returns, he will repay this a hundredfold.
“Hah! You used the Primal Essence Pearl to protect the palace’s surroundings, preventing this buddha from searching it. Do you think this buddha cannot do anything about it? Do you think I cannot harm you? Well, there are still the hundreds of millions of citizens!” The Future Buddha reverted to threats.
“How dare you?!” Mo Yike’s expression suddenly changed.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Humph! It is just three hundred million citizens. They don’t have the Primal Essence Pearl to protect them. It will be easy for me to crush them like ants. Do you believe that?” the Future Buddha sneered.
“What?!”
“To think I previously supported the Spirit Mountain Holy Land! They are just murderous demons!”
“The Future Buddha is an evil demon!”
The countless startled Han Nation citizens stared at the Future Buddha with anger and hatred.
Seeing Mo Yike enraged, the Future Buddha believed he was on the right track and continued with a cold smile, “Give up resisting. Otherwise, this buddha will kill the Borderless Heavenly Capital citizens. We will count to three!”
Mo Yike’s expression changed.
“Milord, what should we do?”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, say something!”
“Duke Tianshan, what should we do?”
Gu Qin and Chen Tianshan showed incredibly unsightly expressions; they hesitated. Mo Yike also showed an incredibly unsightly expression.
“One!” the Future Buddha said coldly.
As he spoke, he extended his right hand, looking like he would attack.
“Milord!” countless citizens in the city cried out anxiously.
The countless citizens already felt the threat of death looming.
“Two!” The Future Buddha continued counting coldly.
The Future Buddha accumulated power in his palm. The citizens felt like a heavenly saber hung over their heads, horrifying them.
“Milord!”
“Save me!”
“Don’t kill me!”
The citizens were terrified.
Mo Yike, Gu Qin, and the others appeared anxious.
“Three!” The Future Buddha showed a cold expression, poised to attack.
“Wait!” Mo Yike shouted.
The Future Buddha’s hand stopped.
“Chang Ming, remove the Primal Essence Pearl’s protection!” Mo Yike said.
“Milord, don’t!” Meng Tai immediately protested anxiously.
Once they lost the protection, their group would be captured.
Mo Yike had no other choice. He did not want to see the Han Nation citizens die miserably. However, that was not the main reason. After all, Mo Yike commanded a large army, and there would be news of soldiers dying on the battlefield every day. How could Mo Yike be softhearted?
However, they would lose credibility if he did not save the Han Nation citizens. If they just watched as the Borderless Heavenly Capital citizens died, the citizenry’s confidence in them would shatter.
On the other hand, if they gave up resisting for the Han Nation citizens, the citizens’ acknowledgment of the Han Imperial Dynasty would be incredibly strong from today on, even if Mo Yike and the others died.
The Future Buddha did not think that deeply. However, Mo Yike saw it. The Future Buddha threatened the Han Nation officials because he thought the Han Nation officials and Mo Yike were foolish. However, this foolishness was what would make the citizens’ support so firm. At the same time, it would create a tremendous source of trouble for the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
“Milord, you can’t!” some officials cried out.
“Remove the Primal Essence Pearl!” Mo Yike roared.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince!” Countless officials looked at Gu Qin.
Gu Qin looked at Mo Yike. Although he knew the danger, he trusted Mo Yike.
“Remove the Primal Essence Pearl!” Gu Qin shouted too.
“Duke Tianshan!” Many officials looked at Chen Tianshan.
“Remove the Primal Essence Pearl!” Chen Tianshan said through gritted teeth.
Boom!
Chang Ming removed the Primal Essence Pearl’s barrier, exposing all the officials to the Future Buddha.
“Mo Yike, I initially thought you would be ruthless, as you commanded the military. Unexpectedly, you are softhearted. Hahaha!” the Future Buddha guffawed cockily.
The Borderless Heavenly Capital citizens suddenly trembled. The pressure on them vanished, prompting the many citizens to bow in the palace’s direction.
“Many thanks, Milord!”
“Many thanks, Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
…
The countless citizens felt intense gratitude and bowed repeatedly.
It was not just the emperor. Even the crown prince and the officials risked their lives to protect the citizens. How could they not support such a nation?
“I can spare the citizens. Now, it is your turn. Hand over the Savant Wisdom Divine Cane and the Primal Essence Pearl. Otherwise…,” the Future Buddha said ferociously.
“Otherwise, what?” A cold voice suddenly rang out.
“Otherwise, I will ensure none of you survive!” the Future Buddha said coldly.
However, the Future Buddha suddenly shivered after he spoke. Something’s not right. Why is this voice so familiar?
“Your Reverence!”
“Respectfully welcoming back Your Reverence!”
“His Reverence is back! This is great!”
…
The citizens all broke out in wild cheers.
Gu Hai’s voice was a profound memory for Borderless Heavenly Capital’s citizens. That’s right! This is His Reverence’s voice!
Joy appeared on all the officials’ faces. “Respectfully welcoming back Your Reverence!”
Mo Yike, Gu Qin, Meng Tai, and Chang Ming let out bated breaths.
Whoosh!
A figure appeared above the Soaring Palace Hall, shielding all the officials.
When the officials saw the figure in the air, they felt peace and calm. That majestic figure seemed like it could shield them from all the dangers in the world.
“Gu Hai? That’s impossible! Why are you back?!” The Future Buddha’s expression suddenly changed.
The expressions of the buddhas, bodhisattvas, and arhats changed dramatically.
“You still have not given us a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, what?” Gu Hai’s eyes turned cold with murderous intent.
“Let’s go!” the Future Buddha screamed fearfully, without practically any hesitation.
“Isn’t it too late to be thinking of leaving now?” Gu Hai swung the Life Executioner Saber at the Future Buddha.
Bang!
Purple light immediately filled the place as a humongous purple saber light arrived before the Future Buddha.
“Future Scripture!” The Future Buddha’s expression changed as he extended his hand to tear the Future Scripture.
“Chop!” Gu Hai glared, and the manifested saber accelerated.
Rip!
The Future Buddha tore the Future Scripture, and vast golden energy poured into the Future Buddha’s body. However, the Life Executioner Saber arrived at this moment.
Boom!
The Life Executioner Saber chopped the energy from the Future Scripture in half. The energy exploded, and the manifested saber weakened slightly, but the manifested saber continued towards the Future Buddha.
“That’s impossible!” The Future Buddha’s expression changed as he raised his arms to block.
Boom!
A bloody wound appeared on the Future Buddha’s forehead, spraying blood everywhere. The flesh on both arms had torn.
The Future Buddha’s expression changed dramatically. Gu Hai grew stronger again? How could it be like this?
“Leave quickly! Leave quickly!” the Future Buddha screamed.
The buddhas, bodhisattvas, and arhats immediately turned to flee.
“Do you think Borderless Heavenly Capital is a place you can come and leave as you please? Treasure, please turn around!” The Immortal Slaying Calabash suddenly appeared in Gu Hai’s hand.
Gu Hai patted the calabash, and a golden light shot out of the Immortal Slaying Calabash’s opening.
