134: Chapter 134 The Crisis of the Flame Dragon Empire, Fools Ruining Things
"Hahahaha! It's sealed!"
"Once I Seal them both together, let's see who dares to question me again!"
White Rose stood in mid-air, looking down at the two terrifying existences bound by the web, her eyes flashing with a near-manic pleasure.
She had even begun to fantasize about returning in triumph with her two "trophies" and receiving the adoration of the masses.
However, at this moment inside the 749 Bureau headquarters, the faces of many high-level officials changed drastically upon seeing the satellite feed.
"Idiot!!!"
A hot-tempered Captain smashed the solid wood conference table in front of him with a single punch.
"Is she crazy?! What does she think she's doing?!"
"That is our ally!"
"Even if we were to suppress that 'true buddha of rebirth', now is not the time to act!!"
"She's pushing our Yanlong Empire into a pit of fire!"
Anger, anxiety, panic... all sorts of emotions spread through the meeting room.
White Rose's action was undoubtedly a vicious slash against the Yanlong Empire's already precarious situation.
If the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore turned against them, if the Shaven Empire lost trust, and if the newly formed Alliance shattered... the Yanlong Empire would surely become increasingly passive amidst the tides of the Terror Resurgence apocalypse!!
And that was secondary!
The most critical point was that the Yanlong Empire would sacrifice more Taboo Masters, Ghost Controllers, and even countless ordinary people because of this!!
Just as everyone was feeling unsettled.
Thump!
The dull sound of a cane hitting the floor interrupted all the clamor.
Xia Xuanyuan's elderly figure slowly rose from the head seat.
There was no anger on his face, only a sense of steadiness and decisiveness born from a lifetime of experience.
"Tianji, lead a diplomatic mission to Chanzhou immediately."
"You must explain clearly to that person... before the situation worsens."
"This... was merely an individual act and has nothing to do with the Yanlong Empire."
"Yes!"
Beside him, Daoist Tianji didn't waste any words and turned to leave the meeting room immediately.
"Furthermore..."
A flash of cold killing intent crossed Xia Xuanyuan's eyes.
"Issue a highest-level wanted order."
"White Rose... for the crime of treason, is stripped of all positions and rights."
"If she resists, kill her on sight!"
"Yes!!!"
Upon hearing this, not a single high-level official objected, nor did they dare to.
Because Xia Xuanyuan's decision was correct!!
The more urgent the crisis, the more one must be decisive and iron-blooded!!
...Meanwhile.
Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore, Base City.
Zhao Linfeng, who saw this scene through satellite monitoring, had a face that instantly darkened to the extreme.
"Good... very good!"
"The Yanlong Empire... White Rose..."
"She actually dares to take action against My Buddha?!"
Bang!
As he spoke, the communicator in his hand was crushed by his grip.
Following that, he immediately ordered:
"Right now!! Convene an emergency meeting!"
A moment later.
Li Shanyuan, Xiao Hong, Bai Ling, Zhou Kai... all the high-level officials of the Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore assembled.
When they learned of everything, everyone's face carried an unmaskable fury.
"Let's kill our way over!"
Ghostly Qi emanated from Xiao Hong's body, and the Ghost Infant in her arms let out a shrill scream.
"Tear that offender into ten thousand pieces!"
"Calm down!"
Although Zhao Linfeng was equally angry, he was, after all, the manager in charge of the overall situation.
"Going to full-scale war with the Yanlong Empire now will only put our Land of Rebirth, and even My Buddha... into a passive position."
"Of course... we cannot swallow this insult!"
"The offender must be made to pay the price!"
"Li Shanyuan, go mobilize all military forces and enter a state of combat readiness!"
While Zhao Linfeng was making arrangements.
Land of Rebirth on the Other Shore, deep within the East Sea.
Splash!!
Two terrifying Laws suddenly erupted, stirring up massive tidal waves in the sea!
The Fallen Heaven Resentful Spirit and the Weeping Blood Rakshasa, who were devouring taboos in the deep sea and had just promoted to S-Rank Seventh-Tier, simultaneously sensed Lin Chuan's situation.
Neither of them hesitated.
They directly abandoned the prey before them, transformed into two black streams of Law, broke through the sea surface, and flew at extreme speed toward the Yanlong Empire... Meanwhile, on the Dongsheng Continent, inside a secret stronghold of the Twilight Church.
"Hehehe... wonderful, truly wonderful."
Zhao Lintian stood before a giant crystal ball, watching the images of Chanzhou displayed within, a strange smile on his face.
"A person's heart is not enough, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant..."
"Weakness is not an obstacle to survival."
"Arrogance is!!"
"Your internal strife is the best opportunity for my Lord's descent..."
As he talked to himself, he slowly raised his hand; within his palm, tentacles faintly writhed and emerged!!
"Fight! Fight even more intensely!!"
"When this land is stained red with blood... that will be... the time of my Lord's descent!"
...In the sky above Chanzhou.
The web had tightened.
The silver silk threads of Law were like sharp blades, seemingly capable of shredding everything.
Sizzle, sizzle... Under the shroud of the web, Lin Chuan's and the Jingguan Joyful Venerable's Laws constantly collided and contended with it, emitting a piercing grinding sound.
"Sinner... unpardonable..."
The trapped Incarnation of the Joyful Venerable emitted a venomous and distorted gibberish Buddhist Chant.
At the same time, the evil visage on its body became increasingly hideous as it tried to tear apart this web.
But this web was, after all, a national-level Taboo Item of the Yanlong Empire; the sealing Laws it contained were extremely overbearing, and it actually managed to suppress the Incarnation of the Jingguan Joyful Venerable by force!
Beside it, Lin Chuan appeared much calmer.
Even while trapped under the web, his evil buddha golden body remained seated cross-legged in the Void Realm, neither sad nor joyful.
Only those deep, blood-dripping Buddha eyes seemed to be staring at White Rose, who was currently ecstatic.
"Foolish one..."
"Do you know..."
...the price of desecrating a True Buddha?"
Lin Chuan's Law-infused Buddha voice suddenly exploded deep within White Rose's mind.
"Price?"
White Rose sneered, her eyes full of disdain.
"Right now you are my prisoner! Your life and death are in my hands!"
"You still dare to threaten me?"
"Be... trapped!!!"
She violently activated the web, wanting to completely Seal Lin Chuan and the Incarnation of the Jingguan Joyful Venerable.
However.
Just then.
Crack!
A crisp sound of shattering suddenly rang out from that silver web.
White Rose's smile instantly froze.
She saw it.
On that 'Heavenly Net' which was claimed to be able to Seal any SS-Rank Taboo.
At some unknown point.
A pitch-black, slowly expanding... hole had actually appeared!!
"This... what is this?!"
"How is this possible?!"
White Rose screamed in horror.
This was a national-level Taboo Item!
How could it be broken?!
"amitabha buddha."
"Offenders shall suffer the ultimate punishment and fall into the Avici Hell..."
As White Rose was terrified and filled with dread, Lin Chuan's Law-infused Buddha voice rang out once more.
Boom!!!
Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar.
Under the influence of Lin Chuan's and the Jingguan Joyful Venerable's Laws, that silver web quickly crumbled into a sky full of light specks!
Having broken free, Lin Chuan's Buddha body rose even higher.
His evil buddha golden body also became even more massive, even more terrifying, and more malevolent than before...
