Xiao Yi looked at the giant demon before him without any expression and said coldly, "What a demon king, with just a single sentence you''ve made it clear that you have cut off all ties with Celestial Dragon Temple. However, do you not think that what you''re doing is a bit too deliberate?"

    "Hm?"

    The giant demon was stunned and looked at Xiao Yi in confusion, "Me, distancing myself from Celestial Dragon Temple?"

    The giant demon was somewhat baffled.

    Did he have anything to do with Celestial Dragon Temple in the first place?

    Back when Celestial Dragon Supreme had not yet reached the Supreme Venerate Realm, he chanced upon the giant demon. At that time, Celestial Dragon Supreme was not strong enough to kill him completely and coveted a secret hidden within the giant demon.

    So, Celestial Dragon Supreme suppressed him here secretly without anyone knowing.

    This had always been the case.

    The giant demon refused to reveal that secret, and Celestial Dragon Supreme, reluctant to kill him yet fearing he might be discovered by other Buddhist experts, decided to seal him underneath Ten Thousand Dragons City.

    More than thirty percent of the adherents from the Heavenly Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom gathered in Ten Thousand Dragons City, and nobody would suspect that there was a giant demon sealed underneath.

    Moreover,

    Even if other Buddhist experts discovered the demon''s traces, they would not dare to make a move against him, risking offending Celestial Dragon Temple.

    In the eyes of Celestial Dragon Supreme, suppressing him beneath Ten Thousand Dragons City was absolutely foolproof!

    It''s just that Celestial Dragon Supreme never expected that Little Lin, by sheer coincidence, would be the one to unlock the seal and release the giant demon at this critical moment. Hence, this current scene unfolded.

    As Xiao Yi sneered, a thunderous voice echoed above Ten Thousand Dragons City, "If indeed it was Celestial Dragon Supreme who sealed you here, the first thing you should do after breaking free would be to go on a rampage to avenge your imprisonment. But the first thing you did after escaping was to assert your identity and distance yourself from Celestial Dragon Temple and Celestial Dragon Supreme, isn''t such deliberate behavior actually an attempt to divert our attention?"

    Buzz!

    As soon as these words came out,

    The surrounding powerhouses all nodded inwardly, "Xiao Buddha King is right; we were almost convinced by his words!" Sёarch* The N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Just now, after listening to the words of this demon, I also thought he was an enemy rather than a friend of Celestial Dragon Supreme, but now it seems there are indeed many doubts..."

    "Damn it, I was almost deceived by those bald donkeys from Celestial Dragon Temple again..."

    This time, even the staunch believer Ti Fu Tu kept silent.

    The appearance of the giant demon was too coincidental.

    Just when everyone was about to investigate Ten Thousand Dragons City, to see if there really was a demon king or a demon refining site below the city, he broke free at this moment.

    And immediately drew a clear line with Celestial Dragon Temple.

    When all the coincidences came together,

    That became intentional!

    Ti Fu Tu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes blazing red with anger, "Damn Celestial Dragon Temple, despicable and shameless Celestial Dragon Supreme... How dare you hide such a demon under Ten Thousand Dragons City. If it weren''t for Xiao Buddha King forcing this demon into revealing himself, I would still not be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Chaotic Sea Region..."

    "Wait a minute..."

    The giant demon''s eyes, spitting flames, were full of anger; he hated Celestial Dragon Supreme the most, yet Xiao Yi and the others were linking him with Celestial Dragon Supreme. To him, this was a blatant provocation, "I have nothing to do with Celestial Dragon Temple. You insist on lumping me together with the filthy Celestial Dragon Temple, are you provoking me, thinking I won''t kill you?"

    "Hmph, if you truly have no connection with Celestial Dragon Temple, you should be taking the initiative to claim that you were placed here by them. Only then would we suspect that you want to frame and harm Celestial Dragon Temple, but now you keep trying to sever ties with Celestial Dragon Temple. Don''t tell me you''re a demon who has principles and never lies..."

    Xiao Yi''s words were extremely sharp, leaving the giant demon at a loss for words.

    And they made the surrounding believers of Celestial Dragon Temple nod in agreement, "If he really was suppressed by Celestial Dragon Supreme, then he should hate Celestial Dragon Supreme, but now he''s continuously helping Celestial Dragon Temple and Celestial Dragon Supreme."

    "Such hypocrisy to the extreme, how did I become so blind to believe in them?"

    "If it weren''t for Xiao Buddha King showing us the truth, we wouldn''t know how long we''d been kept in the dark..."

    Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

    As the saying goes, seeing is believing.

    Plus, with demon refining sites previously discovered, along with Xiao Yi arranging for Little Lin and others to spread words among the crowd, it left a subconscious impression that Celestial Dragon Temple had an ambiguous connection with demons.

    Now, looking at the demon in front of them, linking the two together had turned into an undeniable truth.

    At this moment, at least thirty percent of the adherents had completely abandoned their faith in Celestial Dragon Temple.

    The remaining seventy percent were mostly shaken in their beliefs.

    This scene made Xuan Cang and others look at each other, feeling dry-mouthed but also secretly relieved, "Thank goodness we didn''t confront Xiao Buddha King to the end, who could withstand this?"

    "If the same tactic was used on us, it''d be good if we could even keep half of our adherents..."

    Guang Liang and Xuan Cang both saw the relief in each other''s eyes.

    And on Shaolin Temple''s side...

    Fa Kong and the others were overjoyed, "As expected of Xiao Buddha King, with just a little strategy he caused significant harm to Celestial Dragon Temple! By closely following Xiao Buddha King, our Shaolin Temple truly has the chance to become the sole overlord of the Western Province!"

    "Motherfucker..."

    The giant demon erupted in anger; demons are straightforward by nature, and he saw Xiao Yi''s insistence on linking him with his nemesis as a blatant provocation. He roared, "You''re talking nonsense, I told you I have nothing to do with Celestial Dragon Temple..."

    "Now that the evidence is conclusive and you still refuse to admit it? If that''s the case, I can only use Buddhist Law to judge you and reveal the truth to everyone!" Xiao Yi interrupted the giant demon with a cold snort.

    The giant demon was extremely annoyed, his ferocious face with fanged teeth filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent, "Cursed ants, I don''t need your dogshit Buddhist Law. Watch as I tear you to shreds..."

    Buzz!

    The giant demon''s body trembled violently, his terrifying demonic flames shooting straight into the sky: "Demon King''s Heaven-Opening Palm!"

    Under the convergence of infinite demon flames, the void in front of Xiao Yi twisted violently, forming a giant hand that eclipsed the sky and ferociously slammed down. This demon''s combat power was comparable to the Second Layer Supreme Realm, even stronger than Xuan Cang and the others by a notch.

    With that one palm, cracks appeared throughout heaven and earth.

    Within the Void Rift, a fierce wind howled, and in the pitch-black depths of the void where no bottom could be seen, countless demon shadows flickered.

    Xiao Yi let out a cold smile, carrying the inheritance of the Supreme Shakya, he had numerous methods to deal with the demon. Snapping his fingers, a golden light flowed around his body: "Lustrous Buddha Body!"

    Swish!

    Bathed in the brilliance of brilliant glazed light, Xiao Yi took a step forward and crushed the gigantic hand with one stomp.

    At the same time, he struck down with his palm: "Tathagata Demon Annihilating Hand!"

    Boom!

    The giant palm ferociously smacked the demon to the ground, pinning its head with a massive golden palm: "Do you submit or not?"

    "Not submitting..."

    "Not submitting? Then I''ll hit you until you do!"

    Bang bang bang!

    Xiao Yi punched away, and after a round of beatings, he asked again: "Do you submit now?"

    "No..."

    Bang bang bang!

    He beat him ruthlessly once more.

    The demon''s face was beaten to a swollen mess, its dozens of feet of demonic figure brutally reduced to merely two feet in size, pitiable and utterly dejected. Xiao Yi coldly asked: "Have you submitted now?"

    "I submit, I submit... your venerable one has submitted..." the demon despairingly responded.

    Xiao Yi''s mouth curved upwards slightly, and he said: "Now that you''ve submitted, spill it... What exactly is your relationship with Celestial Dragon Temple and the Celestial Dragon Supreme?"

    "I, your venerable one, was sealed by Celestial Dragon Supreme..." the demon began to speak subconsciously.

    Xiao Yi sighed: "It seems I''ve still been too lenient with you, still desperately trying to sever your connections even now..."

    "I..."

    The demon just started to explain and immediately faced a barrage of dark fist shadows.

    Bang bang bang!

    Under the relentless bombardment of fist shadows, only a ball of Primordial Spirit was left floating above Xiao Yi''s palm, the light flickering and on the verge of dissipating. Trembling under Xiao Yi''s intense gaze, the demon''s Primordial Spirit hurriedly cried out: "I''ll confess! I''ll tell you everything... the Celestial Dragon Supreme commanded your venerable one to hide beneath Ten Thousand Dragons City, and he would regularly provide humans to be my blood meals, saying that they were heretics who defied the Celestial Dragon Temple..."

    These words were not lies from the demon. Over the years, the Celestial Dragon Supreme would occasionally bring human who did not believe in the Celestial Dragon Temple for the demon to consume, attempting to extract that secret.

    Boom!

    As soon as these words were spoken, the powerhouses of Ten Thousand Dragons City were all shocked.

    There were also die-hard believers refusing to believe: "You''re lying..."

    "Celestial Dragon Supreme is not that kind of person..."

    The demon''s Primordial Spirit was filled with resentment. If not for the Celestial Dragon Supreme, how could it have fallen to such a state? It roared furiously: "If you don''t believe it, you can go inspect the demon''s lair for yourself. There are still human bones left from my feast..."

    Swish swish swish!

    Several figures immediately rushed toward the demon lair.

    Moments later.

    Pushed forward by Tie Futu and a group of fanatic believers, they indeed emerged with countless skeletons, each showing an expression of grief and despair: "Celestial Dragon Supreme, Celestial Dragon Temple, I will be your sworn enemy from now on!"

    "Damn Celestial Dragon Temple, if I believe in you again, I''d rather not be human!"

    Amidst the roars of rage.

    Over ninety percent of the countless tens of millions of Celestial Dragon Temple believers in Ten Thousand Dragons City chose to abandon their faith in the Celestial Dragon Temple.

    Joining the ranks of those denouncing Celestial Dragon Temple and the Celestial Dragon Supreme.

    Xuan Cang and others exchanged glances; they knew the Celestial Dragon Temple was finished.

    Not to mention the loss of this thirty percent of believers.

    Just the spread of Ten Thousand Dragons City''s news alone by these believers was likely to leave less than one in ten adherents remaining.

    Having lost these believers.

    Celestial Dragon Temple and the Celestial Dragon Supreme were disgraced and ruined.

    Their bid to overthrow the Celestial Dragon Temple''s doctrine was now as simple as picking something out of one''s bag...

    The corners of Xiao Yi''s mouth curved slightly, his goal having been achieved, he naturally wouldn''t keep the demon any longer: "You are no longer of use. Now, let me use Buddhist Law to ascend your soul to heaven!"

    "No, you can''t do this, I, I can exchange a shocking secret with you. The reason why Celestial Dragon Supreme did not kill me was to obtain this secret..." the demon''s Primordial Spirit hastily said.

    Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow: "What secret?"

    The demon hastily said: "Swear not to kill me first!"

    "You don''t have a choice..." Xiao Yi closed his hand, Buddhist flames engulfing it, burning the demon''s Primordial Spirit so it howled in agony.

    Faced with the formidable Xiao Yi, the demon''s Primordial Spirit had no room for choice but with a mournful face said: "This secret concerns Holy Spirit Mountain. If you obtain this secret, you might have the chance to become the Master of Spirit Mountain..."
