SFS Chapter 329 Journey to the Buddhist Kingdom
Chapter 329 Journey to the Buddhist Kingdom
After taking advantage of the Azure Scale Treasure Vault, Ye Kang once again entered the cultivation room and began to improve himself with all his might.
With the help of the Peng Demon Fire Control Technique, his speed in refining precious plants is now extremely fast.
Of course, as his physical strength reached a new level, the effect of Baozhi on his improvement also decreased accordingly.
This is unavoidable; it's clearly unrealistic to expect a bucket of water, which can fill a teapot, to fill a well.
Therefore, even though the precious plant was rapidly consumed, Ye Kang's physical body did not improve much; it could only be said that he was still in a stage of accumulation.
Meanwhile, in the imperial city...
In the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yun Xiaoyao of the Great Jin Dynasty also looked at the intelligence report with a solemn expression.
"This kid Ye Kang has surprised me again. Could it be that the Great Jin Dynasty is about to produce a prodigy?"
Behind her, Consort Jing sat in a chair, smiling broadly.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Minister Ye is devoted to the country. He not only eradicated the White Lotus Sect but also single-handedly stopped the invasion of the Buddhist Kingdom. This is a great joy and the whole country should celebrate."
Yun Xiaoyao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"My beloved consort, now that things have come to this, you should tell me who Ye Kang's master really is, shouldn't you?"
Consort Jing feigned surprise and said, "What do you mean by that, Your Majesty? How could I possibly know such a secret?"
"Still pretending? You're the one who promoted Ye Kang, don't you even know his background?"
Consort Jing shook her head: "I really don't know. I just thought the child was quite clever, and it would be good to leave him to be Jinxi's bodyguard. After that, what he did was far beyond my control."
"So, this guy is a genius who appeared out of nowhere?"
"Not necessarily. Why doesn't Your Majesty personally inquire with the other retainers to see whose disciple he really is?"
"What my beloved consort says is absolutely right. You may leave now, and allow me to think about it for a while longer."
"Chen and concubine retire."
Consort Jing departed with graceful steps.
In the dead of night, Yun Xiaoyao closed the memorial and revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.
"A hero? A genius? What a genius!"
He suddenly gritted his teeth and roared, unable to resist slamming his fist on the table, shattering it to pieces.
At this moment, he was no longer the composed, lazy, and strategic man he once was.
All that remained was endless resentment and anger.
"Perfect timing, genius!"
"But why are you only arriving now!"
Yun Xiaoyao tore at his face with both hands, his eyes filled with gloom.
"Offerings? Hahahaha! What offerings are left? They've all been run away long ago! Where did you come from, you freak!"
Yun Xiaoyao muttered to himself, revealing a secret that was enough to shock the world.
Those royal retainers who guarded the capital, maintained stability throughout the land, and were known as the last trump card of the Great Jin Dynasty.
They left long ago.
No one knows this better than Yun Xiaoyao.
The imperial city may seem incredibly safe and impregnable now, but it is actually the most vulnerable place. The powerful guards who are supposed to protect this place flee as soon as they hear any rumors, so they can't be relied on at all.
In the entire imperial palace, the strongest person is Yun Xiaoyao himself!
Therefore, he was the only one who knew from the beginning that Ye Kang's so-called worship of his master was completely fictitious and impossible.
He simply dared not reveal the truth and let everyone know the fragility of the palace.
But this Ye Kang is getting more and more out of his control. If he really had a master, that would be alright.
The problem is, Yun Xiaoyao knew he didn't...
"Heh, hidden sects, huh? A bunch of heartless scoundrels who kick away the ladder after crossing the river! The Yun family was coerced into rebellion by you, and now that you no longer need them, you want to replace them! Why should I be your dog!"
He clenched his fist, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"It's too late. I've already taken the first step. Ye Kang, you've only just appeared. It's far too late. There's no turning back for me. You must die..."
……
Qinglin Headquarters.
Ye Kang slowly opened his eyes, his aura concealed, and walked out of the cultivation room.
His physical body has made further progress, his cultivation of the Three-Leaf Lotus has become completely stable, and he has almost figured out all the techniques.
It's time to head to the Buddhist kingdom.
Ye Kang did not forget his purpose: to go to the Buddhist Kingdom and deal with the remaining Buddhist disciples.
As long as Beiluo Temple doesn't intervene, with my current strength, there shouldn't be any major problems.
So how can we be sure that Beiluo Temple won't make a move?
Ye Kang moved swiftly and took to the air, arriving at the distant snow-capped mountain in just a few breaths.
Chongxuzi was holding an ancient sword and building a snowman with one hand.
Ye Kang couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a fine mood you're in."
Chongxuzi shook his head and knocked the snowman over with a single palm strike.
"You've gotten stronger again?"
"After so much time, how can we not get stronger?"
“I don’t like hearing that. It’s only been a few days.”
Chongxuzi shook his head helplessly. He still needed some time before he could open the second leaf, and he couldn't be as fast as Ye Kang at all.
Fortunately, he was already somewhat used to it, and after a moment of surprise, he asked, "So? What do you want to do?"
"Go to the Buddhist Kingdom."
"I'll accompany you."
Without the slightest hesitation, Chongxuzi swept his true energy, causing all the snowflakes on his body to fall off. Standing atop the snow, he resembled a sharp sword.
Ye Kang asked in surprise, "Really? Aren't you unable to make a move?"
Chongxuzi nodded and said, "That's right, but I don't think Beiluo Temple will be able to tolerate it. If you kill too many people, someone will eventually have to come out."
"The one who can come out to kill me is not someone you can handle."
"It's alright. If I can't handle it, someone else will."
Chongxuzi appeared very confident.
With his assurance, Ye Kang no longer hesitated and, without even informing Leng Wuqing, flew directly to the border of the Buddhist Kingdom.
On the way, Ye Kang couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the plan of Beiluo Temple, and why does Chongtian Temple want to protect me?"
Chongxuzi smiled and said, "I've already said that you'll know everything once you get through this. It's not the right time yet."
"I want to clarify upfront that I will not be bound by anyone; I just want to be free and enjoy my position."
Chongxuzi's expression was strange.
Freedom? Organization?
Do you think these two words are evenly related?
Ye Kang smiled silently; those who understand, understand.
The two transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared into the mountains. After passing through Jiaozhou, they soon arrived at a completely new land.
Nightfall Kingdom, now known as the Buddhist Kingdom.
As soon as it landed, the air was filled with the strong scent of incense.
As you travel along, you'll see various towns and villages. Wherever people gather, there will be one or two Buddhist temples. These temples are built in a magnificent and splendid manner, while the village houses next to them are riddled with insects and leaky. The contrast is striking.
The people simply stood in line, offering incense and prayers to the temple, chanting and begging for Buddha's blessing.
Upon seeing this, Ye Kang did not hesitate for a moment. He walked over forcefully, kicked the monk guarding the temple flying, and then threw a punch.
A powerful force pierced through the temple, shattering everything in its path.
With a single punch, the Buddhist temple vanished, leaving all the people stunned.
