Koetsu-jin crouched on the ground, rummaging through the earth to find the temple where Hui's body was hidden. He smiled and said to Mahākā?yapa standing beside him: "What a wonderful blessing!"

  Mohe's face turned black with rage as he waited for Gu Xiechen, his cold hums unceasing.

  Prajna stood with his hands clasped together, silently reciting the sutra of transcendence. After finishing one scripture, he said faintly: "Great difficulties will not die, and there must be good fortune afterwards. This saying is not false. Moha has gained good fortune from misfortune this time, and his skills have made great progress. However, the source of this skill after all damages the yin virtue. When returning to Earth, Moha remembers to recite the sutra of transcendence silently 100 times every day.

  Mohe's originally dark face could squeeze out ink, he furiously roared: "Bullshit! One hundred times a day? Damn it, harming one's virtues? Bullshit, stinking to high heaven!"

  Moha was almost speechless, he was the victim, for this explosive power surge he was struck by lightning nine times, fortunately not being struck to death, didn't you see his hair was all burned off, his skin was all charred? Reciting scriptures a hundred times? With this kind of ability he might as well go flirt with some women and have a better time!

  Prajna just gave Mahaka a cold stare, and Mahaka's body stiffened. He hung his head in shame and sighed: "One hundred times is one hundred times, at most it will take a month!"

  He nodded slowly and softly recited a Buddhist mantra.

  Gu Xie stared blankly at the two brothers, and after a long time, he sighed: "Ban Ruo, you should go to a deep mountain ancient temple to cultivate, not come to be a mercenary."

  He gazed at Gu Xiechen with eyes as clear as water, and said in a low voice, "To cultivate among mortals is the last wish of our father. Unless we can break through the worldly dust, we must mingle in it. When the time comes, we will naturally return."

  Gu Xie dust couldn't help but feel curious, he was about to investigate the origins of Ban Ruo and Mo He brothers, when Sai Zi, who had been standing on a tree branch tens of meters above the ground, suddenly whispered: "Be careful, the atmosphere around us feels off. Do you hear? Even the insects have stopped making noise."

  Everyone present had a deep cultivation, and after hearing Sai Jin's warning, everyone looked up at the sky simultaneously. The third wheel of the bright moon was shining brightly overhead, and the originally incessant insect sounds indeed subsided. Thin layers of fog swirled within the forest, and an unsettling aura slowly crept in from all directions.

  Gu Xie dust raised his right hand and made a few gestures, everyone found a hiding place to hide their bodies. Soon, the only thing left in this clearing was the dry, ugly corpse of Di Zang Temple's Hui Zi.

  He didn't see any movement from Gu Xiechen's body, which was squatting on the ground. The true energy inside his body only slightly trembled, and his Taoist robe and crane cloak lightly puffed up. A wisp of clear wind revolved around Gu Xiechen's body, carrying him silently and noiselessly to rise dozens of meters high, as if a light and airy cloud had fallen beside Sai Zi. Sai Zi and Ariya looked at Gu Xiechen as if they had seen a ghost, his movement completely beyond their imagination.

  "Can it be confirmed which side they belong to? The Holy See? The Pantheon of Gods? Or the Taoist Alliance?" Gu Xie asked in a low voice.

  Sai Ren handed the night vision binoculars to Gu Xie Chen, who said in a low voice: "I don't know. But it shouldn't be the people from the Church, they always make a big show whenever they appear. This sneaky and stealthy approach is not something the Church would do."

  He raised his binoculars and looked around, but Gu Xie didn't find anything out of the ordinary. However, that unsettling aura grew heavier, a certain danger was closing in on him from all sides.

  In Sain's eyes, a silver light condensed, and after tens of seconds, a series of silver lights flashed around him. One by one, short, black-clad girls emerged from the lights, their bodies resembling those of agile monkeys. Using the dense foliage as cover, they swiftly dispersed in all directions. In just a few minutes, Sain had released hundreds of boundary puppets.

  Gu Xie dust Qīn pei raised a thumb, and then he suddenly sighed. The other person's boundary puppet had thousands of moves, but so far, he had only summoned one Xin Jia that was different from humans. He didn't know how much longer it would take to summon the second person. The lingzhi and ginseng in the small valley had also been eaten a lot, and now his soul's origin had barely recovered to about 60% of its original state.

  Everyone was quietly waiting for Saiyin's puppet to return with news, but just two minutes later, a loud scream suddenly came from the western dense forest.

  "Our people!" Bao Ruo and Mo He shouted in unison. In the dense forest of the Western region, Gu Xie had arranged for hundreds of top-notch warriors to respond, these warriors who were forcibly promoted by Sai Er and A Li Di Ya all carried heavy weapons, although there were only a few hundred people, but on the front battlefield their combat power was not inferior to that of a federal reinforced regiment! But now the miserable cries were coming from them.

  Underfoot, a cloud boot spewed out a faint cloud light, Gu Xie dust's body shape swept away like the wind for hundreds of meters, and in three to five ups and downs, Gu Xie dust arrived at the dense forest where an intense battle was taking place.

  Almost a hundred black leopards, each over five meters in length, were jumping and pouncing around the dense forest like the wind. The claws and teeth of these genetically modified beasts were as hard as special alloy steel. When their bodies, weighing several tons, struck with incredible speed, they generated an impact force of tens of tons. How could ordinary warriors withstand such a heavy blow? The black leopards ran at nearly sonic speeds, their dull whistling sounds accompanied by flashes of black shadows jumping and pouncing around. The warriors hiding in the forest were caught off guard, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of them had been torn to shreds by the beasts' claws and teeth.

  When Gu Xie dust arrived, these ambushed warriors had reacted and formed a circular array. The heavy weapons in their hands almost simultaneously spewed out long tongues of fire.

  Boom, boom, boom, the dull sound of machine guns, bursts of flames exploded on these black leopards, they were blown back repeatedly, they roared frantically, despite being shot with holes as big as a foot in diameter, still refusing to retreat. Nearly a hundred black leopards crazily charged at the circular formation, constantly charging, the warriors inside the circle couldn't defend against them, and some people were dragged out of the circle by the black leopards. Once someone was pulled out of the circle, several black leopards would pounce on him simultaneously and tear him to pieces.

  The warriors, pressed to the ground and tearing madly, mustered all their strength to launch a frenzied attack on the black panthers with their fists. Their heavy palms crushed the panthers' sturdy muscles into pulp, shattering their bones, which were as hard as alloy steel. However, these bio-beasts, with their tenacious vitality, continued to bite and scratch relentlessly, tearing the warriors apart with a fight to the death.
