After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Northwest, Shazhou.

In front of the Buddhist holy land of the Great Leiyin Temple, Jiang Che tore open the void and walked out slowly, staring at the golden mountain in front of him with his brows tightly locked, as if he had encountered something unexpected.

He traveled tens of thousands of miles from the capital, intending to fight with Ran Chen and resolve the war in the Central Plains as much as possible. Unexpectedly, what he saw was a false prosperity.

There is no strong person above the Arhat level in the Great Leiyin Temple!
It seems to be still prosperous, with pilgrims coming in an endless stream and the incense burning vigorously, but in Jiang Che's view, these are all false things if the monk Ranchen and all the Bodhisattvas in the Great Leiyin Temple are not eliminated.

Even if he destroyed this place, it would be of no use.

However, what surprised him was why Ran Chen would leave and abandon the Great Leiyin Temple?
You know, the Great Leiyin Temple is a holy place of Buddhism and a symbol of Buddhism. If it is destroyed, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of Buddhism.

Besides, there was actually no need for Ran Chen to be afraid of him.

In the battle outside the capital, he didn't believe that Ran Chen couldn't see that he was using external forces. If he didn't have the foundation left by Ji Chengdao in the Emperor's Sword, he would never be able to defeat a powerful human immortal who had comprehended the power of rules.

Could it be that Ran Chen is worried about his backer, the God King Ji Chengdao?
In an instant, Jiang Che thought of this possibility. After all, only this possibility could explain everything.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Che was somewhat disappointed.

He actually wanted to have a big battle with Ran Chen. With his explosively increased strength, he now possessed combat power far beyond that of ordinary mortals, with the Dragon Vein Sword, the Emperor Sword, and the national destiny.

Even when facing a strong man who has comprehended the power of rules, he is not at all inferior.

What's more, even if he was defeated, he was confident that he could escape safely. Therefore, he had another purpose in this battle, which was to verify the level of his own strength through Monk Ranchen.

Pity.
Jiang Che sighed in his heart and felt helpless about this.

However, although Ran Chen is not here, it does not mean that Jiang Che will let Buddhism go. At present, he has nominally unified most of the Central Plains.

In charge of ten states.

As long as he destroys the Great Leiyin Temple, the two northwestern states will be his territory.

By then, he will truly unify the world.

Think about this.

Jiang Che took a step forward immediately and broke into the gate of the Great Leiyin Temple. In an instant, the powerful Buddhist restrictions were activated, and golden lights instantly rose from the ground, illuminating the void.

Accompanying it is the endless sound of Buddha.

below.

Inside the Great Leiyin Temple.

Countless monks and pilgrims were looking at the movement in the void with horror on their faces. This scene was like an invasion by demons. Endless dark clouds emerged, forming a clear sky curtain with the golden light in the Great Leiyin Temple.

"Little tricks!"

Jiang Che snorted coldly upon seeing this.

If Ran Chen was here, he would still be a little bit afraid, but now the strongest people in the entire Leiyin Temple are only a few dozen Buddhist Vajras in the Xuandan realm. To him, they are no different from ants.

As for this Buddhist restriction, if an ordinary Martial Saint came here, it might be very tricky, but facing a being with super combat power, although it is not as fragile as paper, it is not much stronger.

There was no need to even use the Emperor's Sword. Jiang Che simply took a step forward, and a bright light rippled from under his feet, rushing towards the Great Leiyin Temple.

Rumble.
The violent roar shook the void, as if thunders were intertwining with each other, and every time Jiang Che took a step forward, the restrictions in front of him would be eliminated. It could be said that there were no obstacles wherever he passed.

Swish!
Also at this moment.

Above the Great Leiyin Temple, a golden light tore through the void, revealing a golden talisman. From within the talisman came a voice that was very familiar to him.

It turned out to be the monk Ranchen from the Buddhist sect.

"Donor Jiang, I have left the Great Leiyin Temple to practice in seclusion, taking some Buddhist disciples with me. I hope you will be kind and not want to kill ordinary monks.

If Donor Jiang is willing to have good intentions, I will definitely not bully the weak. I will finish my training and then compete with Donor Jiang and Donor Ji. "

The sound came out and fell into Jiang Che's ears. Then, the golden talisman that escaped from the void also disappeared, turning into golden light and dissipating between heaven and earth.

It was a plea, but also a threat.

The underlying meaning is that neither party should attack the weak. If Jiang Che agrees, Ran Chen will not violate his promise in the future. Otherwise, according to the underlying meaning, he will probably do whatever it takes in the future.

Jiang Che's face suddenly darkened.

It has to be said that Ran Chen's threat did make him a little afraid. After all, he is not alone now. He has relatives and friends around him. With Ran Chen's strength, no one in the entire Wuwang Group can resist him except him.

Unless all of them are sent into the small world, Ran Chen will be a huge threat.

But the problem is that Jiang Che has now seized most of the Central Plains, and it is impossible for him to send everyone back. And through the words left by the other party, Jiang Che is certain of one thing.

That is the reason why Bodhisattva Ranchen left suddenly. It was not because he was afraid of him, but because he was afraid of the backer god King Ji Chengdao!

His eyes moved, and Jiang Che slowly closed his eyes, and began to recall the mark left behind with his thoughts. That was the flaw that Jiang Che left on the Buddha's heart of Gala Huanshiyin Bodhisattva.

One of the reasons why he let Gala Huanshiyin Bodhisattva go as promised was that he wanted to use this person in the future, and now is the time.

His mind was trembling, as if ripples were spreading across countless voids, searching for the whereabouts of the Bodhisattva Gala.

After a few breaths.

Jiang Che's eyes moved suddenly, as if he had seen through the endless void and found the approximate location of Gala Huanshiyin, but the next moment, an extremely powerful force forcibly cut off the connection.

Bodhisattva Ranchen took action!
Jiang Che opened his eyes and looked towards the north. He just sensed the other party's approximate location, which was in the north, but the specific location was a little unclear.

At the critical moment, it was cut off by Bodhisattva Burning Dust!

With his eyes flashing, Jiang Che looked down at the Great Leiyin Temple below and was silent for a few breaths. According to his original idea, he would naturally not show mercy. Once he had the chance, he would directly destroy the Buddhist sect.

However, the threat posed by the Burning Dust Bodhisattva is real.

After thinking about it, Jiang Che put away the murderous intent in his heart.

There are two reasons for this.

One is naturally the threat from Bodhisattva Ranchen. If Monk Ranchen is not killed, Buddhism will not be considered destroyed. Even if more Buddhist disciples are killed, the other party will be able to make a comeback one day.

Only by completely killing all the powerful people in Buddhism can the Buddhist inheritance be cut off from the root.

Since he couldn't kill Ran Chen now, there was no need to implicate the low-level disciples of Buddhism. After all, there were more people around him at the moment, and as long as he took action, Buddhism would definitely not show mercy.

This will only hinder his unification of the Central Plains.

As for the second reason, it is because Jiang Che’s current biggest enemy is actually the northern barbarians, not only because the other party has already sent strong men to brazenly break into the Central Plains.

It posed a great threat to the Central Plains.

He also coveted the Heaven-Repairing Divine Lotus of the Northern Barbarian King's Court. If Monk Burning Dust hadn't been holding him back, he would have been free to head to the northern border and seize the Heaven-Repairing Divine Lotus of the Northern Barbarian King's Court.

but
Not killing him doesn't mean Jiang Che will continue to allow the Great Leiyin Temple to continue to exist. Now that Ran Chen has left, it is also a good opportunity for him to unify the two northwestern states.

As long as he takes over the two northwestern states, he will be able to completely unify the twelve states in the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che looked down at the Buddhist disciples and pilgrims below, and directly summoned the ten-thousand-meter-tall demon god's Dharma image. A terrifying Dharma image that was tens of thousands of meters high appeared.

The terrifying aura it contained suddenly dissipated.

This caused countless people to look terrified, and some even crawled on the ground and trembled.

Only a few Buddhist monks dared to raise their heads and glare at the terrifying figure, but no one dared to say anything out loud about it, let alone make arrogant remarks like fighting against demons.

“I am King Wu Jiang Che, and I have come here today to destroy Buddhism. The Buddhist sect has been causing trouble for no reason, causing chaos in the world, and committing boundless murders. I should have killed all the Buddhist disciples and pilgrims.

However, I have good intentions and have no intention of involving innocent people. From today on, the Great Leiyin Temple will be closed down, and no pilgrims or monks will be allowed to stay here. The time limit is half a day.

Anyone who dares to disobey will die!"

The mighty sound was like thunder, filled with supreme pressure. With the blessing of magic power, it spread throughout an area of ​​a thousand miles. All those who heard it looked into the void with horror on their faces.

then.

Without any warning, countless pilgrims on top of the Great Leiyin Temple began to flee frantically. The devout believers kneeling down below the Great Leiyin Temple saw that no great monk in the Buddhist community came to stop them.

It felt as if all their faith had collapsed at this moment, and they all stood up and began to flee.

Only a few monks from the Great Leiyin Temple were left, looking at each other in hesitation.

Jiang Che's ten thousand feet long Dharma image also slowly disappeared into the void. If there were still people staying here half a day later, he would not hold back, although he did not kill a lot of people at this time.

But the bold words spoken at the Great Leiyin Temple were enough to shake the pressure on Buddhism. Although there was no actual destruction of Buddhism, it was already an open destruction of Buddhism.

"I didn't expect that you would come to the Great Leiyin Temple so soon. You are really brave!" While Jiang Che was deep in thought, a familiar voice came quickly from afar.

When Jiang Che heard this, a strange look appeared on his face. His eyes moved, and then he tore through the void to find the source of the sound.

The familiar voice did not come from anyone else, but from the old ancestor Ku Rong.

Since the last battle in the capital, before Jiang Che could communicate with Old Ancestor Ku Rong, the other party had already left there quietly, which made Jiang Che regretful later.

After all, Patriarch Ku Rong took away all the precious life-extending spiritual objects in the treasury of the Great Zhou royal family, which caused him trouble at the moment. He originally wanted to issue a nationwide manhunt for this person.

Unexpectedly, this person was actually in Shazhou!

It was obvious that this person was alarmed by the voice transmission he had sent earlier.

When he chased after him, he was naturally prepared to ask for the spiritual object that could prolong his life. He only had three hundred years left to live, and if he offered a sacrifice, he would only have two hundred years left, which was far from enough for him.

Six hundred miles southwest of the Great Leiyin Temple, above a dusty desert, the old man Ku Rong, dressed in a green robe, stood hunched in the air, leaning on a black cane in his hand.

He looked ahead expressionlessly, waiting for Jiang Che to arrive.

After a while.

Ripples slowly appeared in the calm void, and Jiang Che, dressed in a golden python robe, walked out. His gaze fell on the body of the old ancestor Ku Rong. His eyes narrowed, and the auras of the two began to clash faintly.

"Fellow Daoist Ku Rong really made it easy for me to find you."

"What? King Wu is planning to break the previous agreement?" Patriarch Ku Rong asked Jiang Che calmly.

"It's not a betrayal. I just want to talk to you about something. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ku Rong would be in Shazhou." Jiang Che looked at the other party, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Don't misunderstand, King Wu. I have been in seclusion for too long and am a little unfamiliar with this spiritual world. I would like to take this opportunity to take a good walk. This is my first stop, but not the last."

Upon seeing this, Patriarch Ku Rong casually explained a few words.

Jiang Che didn't care about this at all. He didn't care what this person's purpose was, as long as he could find him.

"This beautiful land is indeed wonderful. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to walk around more."

Patriarch Ku Rong looked at Jiang Che with a scrutinizing look:
"I don't know why King Wu wants to see me, so please tell me directly."

"I have come to ask for the life-extending spiritual objects in the Great Zhou's treasury." Jiang Che did not hold back and went straight to the point.

"Asking for it?" Hearing Jiang Che's words, Patriarch Ku Rong seemed to have heard a huge joke. He couldn't help laughing a few times and couldn't help but say:

"This is the reward given to me by the Great Zhou court. Is it unfair for King Wu to ask for it? Is it because he is too old and powerless?"

"I did not agree to the conditions promised by the previous dynasty. Of course, I will not let you make this move in vain. I don't want much. I just need a spiritual object that can increase my lifespan by several hundred years."

"A lifespan of several hundred years?" Old Ancestor Ku Rong's face immediately turned cold.

Do you really think it is so easy to increase your lifespan with longevity objects?

A spiritual object that can increase one's lifespan by a hundred years is already a rare treasure in the spiritual realm. A spiritual object that can increase one's lifespan by two hundred years can be called a treasure. As for a treasure that can increase one's lifespan by several hundred years.

It would be almost the same unless he is turned into nutrients.

He immediately said coldly:
"What if I don't give it to you?"

Jiang Che looked directly at Patriarch Ku Rong, with a curled lip:
"Fellow Daoist will give it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Che immediately raised his hand and summoned the Emperor's Sword. Seeing this, Patriarch Ku Rong's face suddenly changed, thinking that Jiang Che was about to attack him without any agreement, so he moved his feet and distanced himself from him by dozens of miles.

Jiang Che raised his hand and slashed with the sword. In an instant, the aura around his body exploded. A golden light shot straight into the sky, directly tearing the void between heaven and earth. The powerful aura that was emitted swept across the four directions.

However, this sword was not aimed directly at the opponent. Jiang Che was just showing his strength to the opponent. After all, Ancestor Ku Rong was quite powerful and had also comprehended the rules of life.

His killing power is not particularly strong, but his ability to save his life is extraordinary.

He was not sure that he could completely kill the other party.

Furthermore, there is no blood feud between him and the other party. Unless the other party insists on not giving it, Jiang Che will not form an irreconcilable feud with him.

After the surroundings returned to calm, Jiang Che turned his gaze back to Patriarch Ku Rong:
"Now, can you give it to me?"

Patriarch Ku Rong stood there in a daze, staring at Jiang Che in shock, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and spoke in a voice full of doubt and uncertainty:

"You...you have achieved the breakthrough to become a human immortal?"
