Chapter 2797 - 2796: The Duke of Wu Triumphantly Returns

Chapter 2797: Chapter 2796: The Duke of Wu Triumphantly Returns

Long Fei now has defeated ten evil corpses, indeed two short of truly condensing the Pangu Physique.

However, even so.

The Dharma Laksana power of this evil corpse still managed to withstand the crushing force of the Vajra of Wrathful Buddha Dharma Laksana of Mahavairocana.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for a while, then suddenly, Zhen Yuanzi’s voice came from within Long Fei’s Divine Sea, "Third Brother, I will help you defeat the corpse with Ginseng Fruit. This fruit tree can also be used by you as a Magical Weapon, but you must carry on the Daoist Orthodoxies of my Wuzhuang Temple."

"Elder Brother Zhen Yuanzi!"

Long Fei raised his brow, knowing there was another way to deal with this monk.

Zhen Yuanzi prepared his escape when the calamity arrived.

He abandoned his cultivation level, leaving a strand of divine thought to avoid the quantity tribulation and rebuild himself.

Long Fei was undoubtedly his best escape plan.

Anyone else wouldn’t even leave him this thread of divine thought.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree suddenly shook, and the ginseng fruit detached from the tree body, transforming into golden rays of light that entered Long Fei’s body.

All three hundred and sixty-five fruits instantly gathered within Long Fei’s body.

Qingfengg and Mingyue’s ears simultaneously heard a loud noise, "My disciples, henceforth the inheritance of Wuzhuang Temple is yours to carry on. Follow the Eastern Emperor’s orders!"

"Master!"

The two young servants were shocked, watching Long Fei’s body change.

It seemed another body was going to break out from within.

A sword suddenly appeared above his head, slashing himself with the power of Buddhist Law from the air.

The Law of Ten Thousand Buddhas, as long as one understands Buddhist Law, one can wield it.

Long Fei’s Buddhist Law once severed Buddha’s body in the Human Realm.

Even Mahavairocana couldn’t help but furrow his brow, shocked by how ruthless this young man was!

This sword might be a lethal one.

The Void trembled, green rays of light flashing from Long Fei, finally transforming into a similarly huge Demon God figure in the Void, raising a hand to merge with the previous ten Demon Gods.

The strength of eleven Demon Gods merged in the air, simultaneously striking toward Mahavairocana.

"You’ve succeeded again!"

Mahavairocana felt indignant, raising a hand to counter with a forceful palm against the Demon God’s imprint.

A deafening thunderous boom!

The Void exploded once more.

However, the massive force no longer pressed down to the ground but instead swept upwards into the air with a whirlwind.

Mahavairocana’s golden palm imprint shattered layer by layer under the immense power.

Five fingers fell off, followed by the entire hand exploding.

The Vajra of Wrathful Buddha statue above his head shook violently, also shattering into countless points of light in the Void.

Mahavairocana’s golden Buddha statue suffered serious damage.

He spat golden blood, his eyes turning red, finally withdrawing from the battlefield.

Long Fei sheltered Qingfengg and Mingyue, landing on the ground with the protection of the Chaos Green Lotus. He raised his hand, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree transformed into horsetail whisk size, falling into his hand.

He gently said to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, "Big Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely continue the Daoist Orthodoxies of Wuzhuang Temple!"

He left with Qingfengg and Mingyue, allowing them to cultivate on Liangshan Island for now.

After the great calamity, he would rebuild Wuzhuang Temple with them.

Qingfengg and Mingyue had no objections; their master had already decreed that they diligently follow Long Fei’s instructions.

Long Fei secluded himself to recover, sustaining considerable injury in this battle against corpses.

Slashing his own body with a sword, severing the cause and effect with Jumang the Wood God.

If not for the power of Ten Thousand Buddhas, it was tough for any sword in the world to harm his physique.

The news spread, and the Ancient Demon Clan and Witch Tribe were enraged.

They struggled hard but ended up with the infamy of jointly killing Zhen Yuanzi, only letting Long Fei gain benefits for free.

The Loose Cultivators across the world expressed gratitude to Long Fei, shifting all the blame toward them, saying they killed the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, hence becoming the enemies of Loose Cultivators worldwide.

The two tribes were already notorious, not lacking this incident.

They focused all their efforts on seizing Human Race’s fortunes, sparking Fang La in the southeast and the Northern Barbarians to cause great upheaval, sweeping through dozens of states of Great Songg.

On the court, military books rained like drops.

Huizong, however, cared not about this, just spending joyful times with Li Shishi in the harem, writing and painting.

That day, Marquis Wu Lin Chong was about to return to the Capital City from the southern expedition to Huai Xi.

He led ten thousand Imperial Army south, taking less than three months to quell Wang Qing’s rebellion, capturing Wang Qing and his gang of bandit leaders, escorting them to the Capital City.

Glorious achievements, shaking the Capital City.

Cai Jing and his faction were quite uneasy upon hearing the news.

Lin Chong’s sister Lin Jiaoniang’s position was abolished, which was related to them.

Moreover, Chancellor Gao had deadly enmity with Lin Chong, almost ruining Lin Chong’s family.

If Lin Chong were to return victoriously, they would suffer the most harm.

They set aside their differences, summoning Tong Guan to discuss.

Despite many clashes, in facing a court full of loyalists, they would unite.

In the grand hall, Cai Jing and Tong Guan sat in the middle.

Beneath them were their staff officers, along with Assistant Ministers Wang Fu and Li Bangyan.

The two suggested to Cai Jing, "Grand Tutor, Lin Chong must not return to the Capital City and be honored. If he enters the Capital City and meets Your Majesty, Your Majesty in high spirits would surely reinstate him and enable his reuse. Then we would be passive."

"Indeed, having won the battle, these ten thousand Imperial Army are like wolves. The best way is to block them outside the Capital City, not letting Lin Chong step into the Capital City, first figuring out how to strip his military power."

Grand Tutor Cai raised his brow, "What good strategies do you have?"

The two revealed a sly smile, "We should use the abolished Empress as a chess piece. If we manipulate the abolished Empress, Lin Chong would certainly be furious. If he makes any rash move, we could report him for rebellion."

Tong Guan scoffed, "You have strategies to ruin the nation, none to govern. Amidst the rise of rebellion, are you really trying to drive Marquis Wu into rebellion, destroy Great Songg?"

Wang Fu awkwardly replied, "Forgive me, Privy Council Envoy, aren’t we doing this for our good? If Lin Chong dominates, and his reputation in the army soars, you as Privy Council Envoy would be the first threatened."

Li Bangyan added, "Yes, Privy Council Envoy! Chancellor Gao under you has mortal enmity with Lin Chong; even if you allied with him, do you think he’d spare you?"

"You are truly traitors!"

Tong Guan cursed, rising in anger, "Today’s matters have nothing to do with me; I am truly ashamed to be with you!"

He strode out, leaving the room in awkward silence.

Wang Fu whispered, "Has the Privy Council Envoy changed and wants to be a loyal and righteous minister now?"

"Just a eunuch, if he wishes to be loyal, people wouldn’t necessarily recognize him!"

Li Bangyan mocked.

Cai Jing sipped his tea calmly, "That old fox wants benefits without the stink. His heart probably fears Lin Chong even more than us."

"A high insight, Prime Minister!"

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan glanced at each other, then praised Cai Jing, showing their thumbs, "What does Prime Minister have in mind?"

Cai Jing replied, "No turning back with the bow drawn; since we’ve already clashed with Marquis Wu, he can’t be too glorious. Do as you suggested, be sure to use the new Empress properly. She’s smarter than you."

"Understood!"

The two saluted, each showing a ruthless cunning expression.
