166: Master Cidu's true purpose!

As long as he brought them under his command, he could... At this thought, Great Master Ci Du pressed his palms together.

The Sanskrit Sounds grew even louder!

Inside the Formation...

Chen Xian and the others all looked pale.

"Damn it, why doesn't this Formation block out sound!"

"This way, even though they can't attack their way in, they can still make us feel restless and irritable."

"This is a great array set up by a Saint. Back then in this world, even if he wasn't a Saint, he was definitely one of the top powerhouses in the world; naturally, there was no need for a function like blocking sound."

Chen Xian even suspected that this Formation was a place where the Sage of Literature used to recite poems and prose.

Naturally, there was no need to isolate sound.

It's just that they were in a miserable state.

These people were clearly trying to force them out.

"Everyone, guard your Dantian with Qi and keep your state of mind stable!"

"Otherwise, you'll be affected by the Sanskrit Sounds and suffer a mental breakdown."

Pei Ning's face was pale.

"But we can't hold out for much longer, after all!"

"Facing a Quasi-Saint, we have no chance of winning!"

"Although we can block their physical attacks for now, if this continues for a while, we'll go crazy!"

Hearing their chaotic discussion,

Chen Xian's heart also sank to the bottom.

This couldn't go on forever.

However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked toward Pei Ning.

"You are the Embroidered Uniform Guard; do you have a way to contact the Emperor directly?"

Pei Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"What are you going to do?"

"Ask the Emperor for help immediately!"

Chen Xian whispered, "As long as Li Zhen comes, he certainly won't let Great Master Ci Du capture us so arrogantly!"

A look of worry appeared on Pei Ning's face.

"But if he comes, we won't have a good ending either!"

"No, Ci Du brought so many people now, clearly intending to take us away too, but my status is different now. Li Zhen is desperate to capture me; there will definitely be a battle between the two of them!"

"This battle will be our chance to escape!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out!"

Hearing Chen Xian say this, Pei Ning no longer hesitated.

Chen Xian was right; if they didn't take a chance, they would eventually become Great Master Ci Du's prey.

Although she didn't know what Great Master Ci Du was trying to do, manipulating so many people to come here at once certainly wasn't anything good.

Pei Ning then crushed the jade pendant at her waist.

She whispered, "Your Majesty, Chen Xian has been captured, but we are surrounded in the bamboo forest by the Quasi-Saint Great Master Ci Du and his people..."

"Please come to our rescue personally and immediately!"

As she spoke these words,

they were naturally seen by Great Master Ci Du.

"Amitabha!"

"this humble monk is clearly helping you out of kindness, yet you insist on being stubborn and even want to lead a wolf into the house. Such behavior is simply playing with fire."

"Helping us?"

Chen Xian sneered and said, "Is the so-called help of the Great Master chasing us all the way here and surrounding us completely?"

"If you come out, this humble monk naturally won't do anything to you!"

Great Master Ci Du pressed his palms together and said righteously, "I will only deliver you to the Western Paradise. Such a blessing is not something you can easily enjoy!"

Chen Xian looked at those dull-eyed prodigies in mid-air.

"If Deliverance turns out like this, I'd rather be a Mortal!"

"Hmph, stubborn!"

Great Master Ci Du increased the influence of the Sanskrit Sounds.

For a moment, several Embroidered Uniform Guards inside the Formation even spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time.

In the Imperial Court of the capital, after Li Zhen received Pei Ning's report,

his expression became extremely gloomy.

He stood up abruptly.

"I am feeling slightly unwell; the court will temporarily be managed by the Left Chancellor!"

After saying that, under the dumbfounded expressions of the crowd, he left directly, walking out of the court.

"Damn it, that monk Ci Du really has ill intentions!"

"And here I thought a Great Demon had really escaped from the Demon Domain."

Although he didn't know what that monk Ci Du was up to, if he also knew that Chen Xian possessed the Immaculate Sacred Body and had designs on him,

then wouldn't he be intercepted!

He had been stuck at the Quasi-Saint level for three hundred years; if he didn't achieve a Breakthrough soon, it would likely become harder and harder in the future.

At the thought of this, a look of madness appeared on Li Zhen's face.

He picked up the jade pendant and said coldly, "Hold on for a bit, I'll be there soon!"

Then, he raised his hand.

Tearing through space,

he stepped right in.

At the same time.

Pei Ning's face was pale.

She whispered, "His Majesty has replied to us. We have to keep holding on for a while longer!"

Chen Xian saw that the people around him were already being tortured by the Sanskrit Sounds until their eyes were bloodshot, and some were even half-kneeling on the ground.

"Damn it!"

He bit his finger.

Immediately, a blood-colored great array enveloped everyone.

Under the Bloodthirsty Great Array,

the pressure on these people was suddenly reduced.

Seeing this, Great Master Ci Du

immediately let out a cold snort.

"Bloodthirsty Great Array? It seems young friend has already fallen into the demonic path, so this humble monk needs to deliver you even more."

"Otherwise, I would be allowing you to wreak havoc on the human world!"

Chen Xian's pupils constricted.

From the very beginning, this old monk had been talking about Deliverance.

So-called Deliverance was meant to persuade people to be good and become a Buddha on the spot.

But with him acting like this,

Chen Xian felt that this was not ordinary Deliverance.

Instead, it seemed like a special ritual.

"Whether we are human or demon is not for you to define, I think!"

"Besides, if you hadn't used Sanskrit Sounds to disturb us, why would we need to use this Formation!"

"It's clear that some people fall into the demonic path not because they want to, but because they are forced by those like you who call yourselves the righteous sects!"

Great Master Ci Du looked at Chen Xian.

A strange expression appeared on his compassionate face.

"What a sharp tongue."

"So, Great Master Ci Du, as a Quasi-Saint known as the number one philanthropist of the Five Continents! What exactly is your purpose in coming to this Shanhai Secret Realm?"

"Manipulating so many prodigies—I bet the people outside have no idea at all, right?"

He was now extremely curious about Great Master Ci Du's true goal!

Seeing the expressions on the prodigies around him becoming more numb and their eyes more dull,

Great Master Ci Du sneered and said, "Then I'll let you be a ghost who understands!"

Perhaps it was because his plan had been unknown to anyone for so long.

Just as it was about to succeed,

Great Master Ci Du needed an audience to witness his success!

"As a powerhouse of the Buddhist Sect, this humble monk has delivered so many people and done so many good deeds in my life. Yet, I am still unable to break through the shackles of a Quasi-Saint! This must be because this humble monk hasn't done enough."

"Today, this world is still full of war, famine, and calamity!"

"To bring peace to this world, one must start from the root."

"If all of you prodigies, who are the great hope of the Five Great Continents, were to perish,"

"then a hundred years from now, there will be no more killing in the Five Great Continents!"

"In this way, the world will be at peace!"
