Li Ke took Cheng Yaojin and the other two as the protectors of the Human Tribe and secretly instructed them to hide in the Tang Empire to protect the fate of the Human Tribe.
During this period of time, Li Ke had been constantly interfering with the Journey to the West. Although he had not completely destroyed the Buddhist Sect's plan, he had also played a certain role.
The fate of the Human Tribe was more prosperous now, and the entire Chang 'an City was bustling with people.
The three old monks of Hua Sheng Temple failed to kill Li Ke, but they were wiped out by Li Ke instead. However, Li Ke did not intend to let them off so easily.
Previously, Li Ke had promised Guan Yin Bodhisattva that they would not interfere with each other. However, now that the Buddhist Sect had taken the initiative to find trouble with Li Ke, Li Ke could not let it go.
Soon, Duke Cheng of Lu filed a complaint against Hua Sheng Temple for hiding evil and protecting the treacherous party of the previous dynasty. He requested the Emperor to issue a decree to investigate Hua Sheng Temple thoroughly.
The Emperor trusted Duke Lu, so he immediately issued an edict for Cheng Yaojin to investigate this matter and ordered Li Ke to assist him.
In an instant, tens of thousands of imperial guards were mobilized. Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin and Li Ke, they surrounded Hua Sheng Temple.
This ancient temple occupied a large area. It was densely covered with forests and there were nearly ten thousand monks.
Those ordinary monks naturally didn't know what kind of heavenly law they had violated. However, those old monks who had successfully cultivated were all gnashing their teeth in hatred.
Unfortunately, the old monks of the Life Transformation Temple had seen clearly that Li Ke had killed three Buddhist Almighties by himself. Even if they wanted to attack, they were no match for Li Ke.
Facing an enemy that they could not defeat, even if these old monks had the strength of immortals, they did not dare to act rashly.
"Men! Surround the entire Hua Sheng Temple!”
Cheng Yaojin charged forward with his golden saber. The countless powerful royal guards beside him were like a flood, and the entire Hua Sheng Temple was instantly submerged.
At this moment, the entrance of Hua Sheng Temple was closed, and countless monks were armed to resist.
"You want to defend the mountain gate? Divine Arms Battalion, fire arrows!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his broad axe, and the countless archers of the Divine Arms Battalion behind him immediately drew their bows and nocked their arrows. Countless fire arrows rained down.
"How dare you! How can you blaspheme the important land of the Buddhist Sect!”
A mighty shout sounded. At the same time, tens of thousands of Buddhist lights surged out and blocked the endless rain of fire.
"How is this possible? Could it really be the reincarnation of Bodhisattva?"
"There is a true Buddha in Hua Sheng Temple!"
When the countless armored soldiers saw this, their eyes were filled with shock and they began to discuss.
However, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ke looked at each other and smiled. If these monks didn't run away, then they could just raid their homes!
"Demon monk! I have been ordered by the Tang King to investigate Hua Sheng Temple thoroughly, and you dare to disobey the imperial edict!”
Cheng Yaojin shouted in anger, and his pair of broad axes danced in the air.
"You're trying to force a groundless crime on our Buddhist disciples. Our Hua Sheng Temple has always respected His Majesty and never dared to disobey His Majesty's orders.”
The old monk raised his eyebrows. He revealed his Buddhist Dharma in an attempt to bewitch the soldiers.
"How dare you! Bald monk, you keep saying that you don't dare to disobey the divine order. What are you doing now? Could it be that the imperial edict in my hand is fake?”
Cheng Yaojin's words left the old monk speechless. He was defying the imperial edict!
Cheng Yaojin saw that the other party was silent. He raised the broad axe in his hand and urged the Scarlet Flame Stallion under him to charge at the old monk.
"You're courting death!"
The old monk was furious. Others might not be able to see it, but he knew that Cheng Yaojin was an Earth Immortal, and his cultivation was on par with his.
Therefore, the old monk raised his hand and shot out a Buddhist light. However, Cheng Yaojin did not dodge and was directly knocked off his mount by the Buddhist light.
"Boom!"
State Duke Lu, the founding hero of the country, was sent flying by the monk. This made all the soldiers present widen their eyes in shock.
This was Chang 'an City, and a monk dared to beat up Duke Lu of the Tang Empire!
This wasn't just defying the imperial edict, it was also looking down on the imperial power and laws of the country!
The old monk was stunned. He did not expect Cheng Yaojin to not dodge and take his attack head-on. In this way, even if the entire Hua Sheng Temple was innocent, it became a rebellion!
"Evil thief, how dare you hurt my State Duke Lu! Take him down!"
" Die!" Li Ke roared. He immediately struck out, and endless divine might instantly filled the air.
"Boom!"
The old monk did not even have the chance to resist and was directly killed by Li Ke.
This scene immediately shocked the soldiers of the three armies. They had not been intimidated by the divine monk just now, but in an instant, they were shocked by Li Ke's divine might.
"Kill them!"
However, a great battle was about to break out. The Buddhist monks surged over, and the Royal Guards had sabers and spears in their hands. They instantly started fighting.
Li Ke rushed into the Hua Sheng Temple and specifically chose those eminent monks to attack.
The strongest of these monks was only at the Mystic Immortal Realm. They were not Li Ke's match at all.
Thus, if they chose to resist, they would be courting death.
And Duke Lu being beaten up gave Li Ke even more reason to silence him.
"Your Highness, this poor monk is an in-name disciple of the Blessed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Aren't you afraid of offending the Buddha by killing him like this?”
This old monk was the Chief Monk of the Scripture Depository. Unfortunately, Li Ke did not give him any face at all and killed him instantly with a wave of his hand.
"The Divine Sweeping Monk is too weak."
Li Ke killed the other party, took the relic, seized the Buddhist treasure, and then searched the entire Hua Sheng Temple.
All the money, grain, armor, and weapons would be handed over to the Great Tang, and the Buddhist treasures and relics would be Li Ke's.
"This Hua Sheng Temple actually has 8,216 mu of fertile land! They were so rich that they had to f * cking beg for alms every day!”
Li Ke looked at the statistics and despised these monks even more.
