The waters of the empire ran deeper than he had imagined.
Su Cheng naturally understood why the empire would rope him in.
The reason was simple.
Ever since Buddhism and the Holy See joined forces to deal a heavy blow to Taoism hundreds of years ago, the development of Buddhism and the Holy See had somewhat exceeded the control of the Empire.
This made the dynasty somewhat worried.
That was why the empire had been searching for the inheritance of Taoism, hoping that Taoism would rise again and restrict Buddhism and the Church.
Compared to Buddhism and the Christian Church, the doctrine of Taoism advocated standing aloof from worldly affairs and acting according to one's will.
The Buddhist Sect was extremely ambitious. They continuously recruited believers and expanded their strength.
On the other hand, Daoists focused on cultivation and had few desires.
Taoism did not care about the affairs of the mortal world. To the Empire, Taoism was more reassuring than Buddhism.
Moreover, Taoism was a local religion of the empire.
How could Su Cheng not understand the relationship between them?
If the City of Su and the Empire worked together to destroy the Buddhist Sect and the Holy See, it would be a win-win situation.
For the empire, it could eliminate two hidden dangers, and for Su Cheng, it could lead the rise of Taoism again.
However, he had to admit,
Su Cheng disdained to join forces with the Empire.
Who was he?
He was the inheritor of Taoism!
He was a real Taoist priest!
A true Immortal Cultivator!
He would personally settle the grudges between Taoism, Buddhism, and the Holy See. He would not borrow any external forces.
Leng Manqing looked enlightened after hearing her senior's explanation.
Then, she looked at Su Cheng with admiration.
"Senior, you are truly thoughtful."
She said with admiration.
Next, Leng Manqing brewed a pot of fragrant tea for Su Cheng.
Su Cheng lay on the rattan chair and drank his tea leisurely. He looked very relaxed.
About an hour later.
Suddenly.
He cast his gaze in a certain direction of Mount Zhongnan with a meaningful expression on his face.
"Interesting."
"There are guests again."
"It seems like my small Daoist temple is quite popular.”
The corners of Su Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an unfathomable arc.
Leng Manqing was stunned when she heard Su Cheng's words.
"Guest? Who is it?"
She followed Su Cheng's gaze and wondered in her heart.
However, with her Qi Condensation cultivation, she could not discover anyone at all.
At this moment.
Swoosh!
Two figures appeared outside the array formation of the Taoist temple.
The first figure was tall and sturdy, and his skin was slightly dark. From afar, he looked like a small mountain, giving off a heavy pressure.
The muscles on his body were very explosive, even more exaggerated than some bodybuilding champions.
His face was resolute, and his eyes revealed a domineering light. His entire body revealed a violent aura.
This aura was demonic qi!
Just by standing there, he made people's hearts skip a beat, and they could not muster up the slightest bit of resistance.
The most eye-catching thing was that there were two black horns on his head that were emitting a cold light.
It was obvious that this figure was an ox demon.
Moreover, it was a demon king level ox demon!
Tyrannical, domineering, and invincible.
This was the feeling this ox demon monarch gave off.
A strange-looking figure stood beside the ox demon monarch.
The figure's face was a little pale, as if he had applied a thick layer of foundation.
His body was slightly thin, and on both sides of his back, dozens of tentacles stretched out.
These tentacles were entangled by the black fog. They looked extremely disgusting and made one's scalp go numb.
This figure was a monster that had been cultivated by a thousand-year-old centipede!
A sinister and terrifying aura spread out from the centipede demon's body.
An ox demon! A centipede demon!
Two Daemon Kings had descended!
They were the true experts in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. They had cultivated in the Qinling Mountains for a thousand years and transformed into human forms. Their cultivation was unfathomable and absolutely terrifying.
Among them, this green bull demon king was the green bull that had been secretly observing the Daoist temple previously.
The sudden appearance of the dilapidated Taoist temple and the mysterious Taoist priest made many great demons in the Qinling Mountains curious.
Moreover, this mysterious Daoist priest had previously used a great divine power to forcefully plunder one-tenth of the spiritual energy of the entire Qinling Mountains, turning this Daoist temple into a blessed land for cultivation.
This made many demon kings impatient and wanted to test the depths of this mysterious Daoist priest.
Snatching opportunities was a common thing in the Qinling Mountains.
Therefore, the ox demon monarch had pulled the centipede demon to the Daoist temple to investigate.
At this moment, the Azure Ox Demon King and the centipede demon cast their sharp and domineering gazes at the Daoist temple and began to size up the Daoist temple that had suddenly descended.
Previously, they had been observing in secret and knew very little about this Taoist temple.
All of a sudden, their expressions were filled with shock.
Because they saw an extremely ordinary old locust tree planted outside the Taoist temple.
"Hiss! He didn't expect that this old locust tree that could be seen everywhere in the Qinling Mountains had actually developed intelligence and become a demon?”
They were shocked in their hearts.
Although they had already secretly observed the scene of the old locust tree killing the two wolf demons, they could not help but be shocked when they personally felt the demonic qi on the old locust tree.
It was too f * cking weird.
Be it in terms of level or talent, the old locust tree, which was extremely low, had actually become a demon?!
After all, they were Daemon King level experts. After being slightly surprised, their expressions returned to normal.
