84: Holy Son Competition

Hearing the Buddha's question, one of the old monks put his hands together and said solemnly, "There is absolutely no mistake!"

"The Glazed Lamp left by the World-Honored One had its flame extinguished just yesterday, and it is covered in a red aura."

"The Evil Tathagata has truly returned."

"..."

The Buddha's Face was filled with compassion: "It seems my Buddhist Sect must Undergo Tribulation again. But that is fine. The buddha fruit left behind by that person must be brought back! Placing it within our Buddhist Sect is the safest option!"

"And that Lin Ye, since he is so gifted, naturally he must also convert to my Buddha!"

"We must naturally go and convert him back, making him a Buddha Slave, chanting sutras day and night, only then can his sins be cleansed!"

"And the Academy, they have been failing to recognize their own status recently. My Buddhist Sect is the greatest force in this Lower Domain! No! Even above the Nine Heavens, it should be us!"

"This time, when we leave the mountain, we shall go and knock the Supreme Bliss Holy Land and the Academy down a peg."

"Good!"

"amitabha..."

...

A few days passed quickly.

The Supreme Bliss Holy Land, which now called itself the Righteous Qi Sect, was preparing for the Holy Son Grand Competition on this day.

Large and small forces alike were invited to the Supreme Bliss Holy Land.

Within the Ten Thousand Mountains, the nearby Vicious Beasts were slaughtered completely, for the people coming this time all had significant backgrounds.

Even the forbidden areas were stirred.

There were always some Cultivators who did not know the location of the forbidden areas, rushed in blindly, and immediately disappeared completely inside.

Lin Ye's reputation was becoming increasingly loud.

Now, in the entire Southern Domain, there was no one who did not know that the Supreme Bliss Holy Land had produced a fierce demon with shocking talent and ruthless methods.

Hum...

Inside the Supreme Bliss Holy Land.

Wisps of Dao Rhyme shrouded the entire Holy Land, emitting a five-colored light, resembling a fairyland. The entire Sect was wrapped in Spiritual Qi, clearly because someone had used great methods to draw out the energy of the Spiritual Veins.

The Disciples patrolling back and forth all wore serious and earnest expressions, and their aura was powerful and terrifying.

In front of the Sect, a mountain had been carved into a stele.

The three large characters 'Righteous Qi Sect' radiated brilliant light, as if a stream of Upright Qi was flowing within them.

It was hard to imagine that this was the location of the Demonic Path's leader, the Supreme Bliss Holy Land.

When the people from the Academy arrived and saw the words 'Zhengqi', their Faces showed indignation.

"Does this Supreme Bliss Holy Land deserve the words 'Zhengqi'? It's simply ridiculous. Also, where did this Upright Qi come from?"

"Could it be that they captured top-tier Confucian scholars and refined the Upright Qi from their bodies?"

"A great humiliation! A great humiliation! If we don't teach them a lesson this time, I fear our Academy will lose its reputation entirely!"

"Look at these formation patterns and the mountain carved into a stele; the Old Ancestors of the Supreme Bliss Holy Land must have returned! We must proceed with caution!"

"amitabha..."

Just as the people from the Academy stepped off their flying boat, a solemn lotus flower slowly descended in the distance.

A group of Buddhas chanted the Buddha's name and walked down from it.

They walked straight toward the people from the Academy.

"They have come too..."

Chu Wuhai narrowed his eyes, looking at the Buddha who was walking up, clearly somewhat surprised.

Shouldn't those coming to observe the Supreme Bliss Holy Land's Holy Son Grand Competition be demons, ghosts, and monsters?

Our Academy came to cleanse the universe, what is the meaning of you Buddhist Sect members? Do you really think this is the Righteous Qi Sect?

The Academy of the Righteous Path, and the Buddhist Sect had all come!

Good heavens, this isn't a Holy Son Grand Competition at all; it's clearly the day for the Supreme Bliss Holy Land to whitewash itself. After all, having the Academy, the Buddhist Sect, and many small Righteous Path forces coming to observe a Demonic Path event together is a very absurd thing.

Also, look at those Disciples of the Supreme Bliss Holy Land.

Each and every one of them was dressed in white robes, emitting wisps of Upright Qi from their bodies.

They even greeted the visitors with enthusiasm, regardless of the size of their forces, appearing peaceful and friendly.

Is this still a Demonic Sect?!

"Benefactor Chu, you have come as well."

The Buddha walked forward and exchanged greetings with Chu Wuhai.

The latter returned the courtesy and asked politely, "Great Master Liaokong has come as well? What a coincidence."

"amitabha, we of the Buddhist Sect have come to witness whether the Supreme Bliss Holy Land has truly become the Righteous Qi Sect. After all, the Righteous Path of the world still needs more talent to pour in."

"If the Lord of Blissful Demons is willing, our Buddhist Sect is naturally willing to assist."

"Hehe... So that's how it is."

Chu Wuhai nodded, but inwardly he was cursing.

Others might not know the true nature of your Buddhist Sect, but how could I not?

Is the Righteous Path of the world yours to control? You decide who joins and who doesn't? What a joke.

Several Disciples from my Academy are currently missing; perhaps they were converted by you hypocritical people using that strange Buddhist magic?

Don't let me find out. If I do, there will definitely be an upheaval! Even your golden statues won't be able to save you!

...

Just as the two were engaging in empty pleasantries, inside the Holy Lord Hall at this moment.

The Holy Lord was surrounded by a group of Old Ancestors.

"Brat!!! You were very arrogant before, daring to cut off contact with us Old Ancestors directly. You think you're capable now, thinking that just because you became the Holy Lord, you have some ability, right?!"

The Lord of Blissful Demons, who once looked down upon the world, was now tied up with a rope and hung in the main hall.

His majestic Face was covered in snot and tears.

"Old Ancestors, I was wrong! I was truly wrong! I won't dare to do it again! Let me down! Don't I have any Face?"

"Pah!!!"

The Third Old Ancestor walked over, spat directly, and then picked up the small whip in his hand, lashing the Holy Lord repeatedly.

Of course, in order not to let others see, he deliberately avoided the Face; this was his final act of kindness.

"Ahhh!"

The screams were incessant.

Finally, the Holy Lord couldn't take it anymore and cursed, "Damn it! You old things, try hitting me again? I guarantee you won't ever see that excellent Disciple again. I am the Holy Lord, if I don't let you teach him, you have to listen..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Holy Lord saw the Old Ancestors grinning.

They immediately took out an iron whip from their robes, covered in barbs.

"Hehe... Lord Holy Lord, this thing looks interesting, right? This is a Magic Treasure we confiscated before. Hitting someone with it, tsk tsk tsk... it's heart-piercingly painful, and the wounds won't heal for a long time."

"This was prepared by a Sect to punish Disciples who violated the commandments."

"You are the Holy Lord, Heaven has bestowed a great responsibility upon you, so you must suffer in mind and toil in body. We, your Old Ancestors, are here to help you."

"Old Ancestors! Old Ancestors! I was just joking! I was wrong! Really, I will take you to see that Prodigy right now!"

"Don't you want to teach him! Teach him as much as you want! If Madam Miao doesn't agree, I will go talk to her, I guarantee..."

Slap!!!

Clearly, begging for mercy was useless; the iron whip had already struck his body.

The Holy Lord let out the most startling scream since the beginning.

"You old things! I f*** your Ancestors! Ahhhhh!!"
