Chapter 36: The Demon King of Fusang and the Machinations of the Buddhist Sect!
As Fa Zhao watched the livestream, his face displayed a hint of anger. He snorted in annoyance.
“Very well! This Dragon and Tiger Mountain has truly gone too far!”
“We didn’t seek trouble with them, yet they ventured onto our turf!”
“Master! What do we do now? After all, Disciple Huiguang has been discovered, and the Paranormal Investigation Bureau sent his body as a warning.”
“If we don’t handle this well!”
“By then, the other abbots and directors in the group might have some words for us.”
Huian was feeling troubled.
Fa Zhao furrowed his brow slightly but soon sneered, “No worries. Our plan has already been set in motion.”
“Once it succeeds.”
“It will be enough to shake this world.”
“We might even turn this place into a Buddhist land with the right manipulation.”
“By then, not to mention the minor Paranormal Investigation Bureau, even the entire world will become our followers.”
Hearing this, Huian was also shocked.
“Master, are you talking about the cooperation between the board of directors… and the undead ritual in Fusang?”
Fa Zhao nodded, “I kept it from you earlier because the undead ritual hadn’t started yet. We needed to ensure everything was foolproof.”
“Now that the plan is in progress, Three Scriptures Temple, where the Buddha’s relic resides, has already made contact with Fusang.”
“Please retrieve the twelve Fusang Demon King plaques for offerings!”
“As long as we activate them and then, using the Undead Ritual as a catalyst, gather the power of our four major Buddhist temples.”
“It will be enough to tear open a rift to the Ruin, releasing the true Fusang Demon King who was sealed in the Ruin of Jiangnan City all those years ago!”
“It will help us severely damage the Paranormal Investigation Bureau!”
“And, together, we will stage a performance that propels our Buddhist sect to its pinnacle.”
“At that time, everyone will kneel at our feet.”
“You and I will be the true living Buddhas!”
As Fa Zhao spoke, he appeared very excited!
As if he could already see that scene.
Himself on a high Buddha’s throne. Countless people bowing before him. Enriching him in gold and making him a true Buddha!
Huian’s expression was also quite vivid. Simultaneously shocked, delighted, and a bit greedy.
“So that’s it! So that’s it!”
“No wonder Master has never paid attention to the Paranormal Investigation Bureau!”
“Master is truly brilliant! It’s us who have been foolish.”
Fa Zhao smiled faintly.
“Huian, you are the most talented disciple I have ever had the honor to teach.”
“I trust you the most, which is why I’m revealing all of this to you.”
“But now, the most crucial task is to activate those twelve plaques. Each plaque requires the essence blood of a thousand-year monster.”
“Each of our temples is responsible for one.”
“Have you found the trace of the snake demon?”
“We’ve already found her, but that snake demon’s cultivation is too strong, and we dare not act recklessly,” Huian nodded.
“Yes, indeed. That snake demon has cultivated for a thousand years. Even I, as the master, am not her match,” Fa Zhao acknowledged.
“But… she was sealed by the Arhat from Golden Mountain Monastery in the past. Although Arhat has since hidden from the world, his artifact remains.”
“The Arhat’s artifact?” Huian’s eyes lit up.
“Master, are you suggesting we use that artifact to capture the snake demon?”
“Exactly,” Fa Zhao pulled out an emblem representing his authority from his robe.
“That artifact is currently in Three Scriptures Temple in Jiangnan City. You should leave immediately with my emblem, retrieve the artifact, and capture the snake demon.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Remember, there must be no mistakes in this matter.”
Huian eagerly took the emblem. “I won’t let you down, Master.”
“By the way, Master, what should we do regarding Huiguang Junior Disciple’s situation? Should we just endure it?” He looked at Fa Zhao with uncertainty.
“Of course, we can’t just let it go like that! A mere declining Daoist sect’s celestial master dares to act so recklessly on my territory,” Fa Zhao asserted.
“Perhaps a hundred years ago, we might have been somewhat cautious of the Daoist sect. But times have changed, and now, it is the era of our Buddhist sect.”
“You may go now. I will handle everything.”
“Understood!”
Once Huian had left, the entire meditation room was again left with only Fa Zhao. The old monk lit another tray of premium purple sandalwood incense, inhaled deeply, and seemed somewhat intoxicated. Suddenly, a chilly breeze, carrying a faint scent of blood, swept by him.
In the next moment, a blurry ghostly figure appeared behind Fa Zhao.
“Master.”
Fa Zhao’s expression remained calm as he nodded gently.
“Has the Hu family reconsidered?” He asked.
The ghostly figure shook its head. “Master, the head of the Ren family, still believes that the price we demand for our assistance is too high. They have hired the Ma family to handle the matter,” Fa Zhao sneered.
“Hmph! Half of their family’s fortune originally belonged to us! Now they want to renege on the deal. They must be seeking death. Do they think the Ma family’s juniors can solve their problems?”
“Go and inform them: do not hold back. Keep all of the Ma family’s members if the Ren family still refuses to cooperate, and if necessary, kill them all.”
“Yes, Master.”
The ghostly figure turned and left.
Inside the room, Fa Zhao snorted, “If they don’t take a friendly gesture, they’ll have to face our hefty demands next time.”
