The explosions on the battlefield gradually weakened, smoke filled the air, and burnt corpses lay everywhere.
At this moment, all surviving members of the Jile Buddha Sect had fled into the great formation. Watching the tragic scene outside the formation, many of them turned pale with fear and grief.
Whether strong or weak, their hatred for Li Xiaotian had now reached the depths of their bones.
Their Jile Buddha Sect had never suffered such humiliation! Never been so disgraced!
Their pride as disciples of the Jile Buddha Sect was completely gone today!
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Dragon King Hall army advanced like a tide, mercilessly slaughtering any surviving Jile Buddha Sect disciples who were not yet dead.
"Li Xiaotian! You heartless wretch! Do you know that by doing this, you will face the endless wrath of our Jile Buddha Sect and die without a burial place!!!"
Agus stared at Li Xiaotian outside the great formation, his teeth gritted as he roared. If he were a Hegemon himself right now, he would have charged out to fight the man.
"Heh! You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Your Jile Buddha Sect sought their own doom, what does it have to do with me? I gave you a chance, but you failed to cherish it!"
Li Xiaotian sneered, his face full of mockery, and then continued.
"I am slaughtering innocents? You clearly had the opportunity to save those people, but in the end, you each ran faster than the other. Even for things that would have taken little effort, you couldn't be bothered. It's less that I killed those people, and more that you are the ones who caused their deaths!"
"Presumptuous!!!"
"Scoundrel!!!"
The many powerful experts of the Jile Buddha Sect could not help but roar with fury, filled with resentment. A murderer dared to lecture them!
"Li Xiaotian, you dare to spout nonsense, massacre our disciples, and then slander us! As a powerful individual, how can your heart be so despicable and shameless!"
Agus shouted, his face filled with grief and indignation. Li Xiaotian was going too far!
"Indeed, our disciples, how could we not save them? It was you! It was you who killed them! You who gave them no chance to escape!"
Li Xiaotian shook his head, his gaze filled with disdain. He couldn't be bothered to argue with these monks.
"Continue firing and break this great formation!"
With Li Xiaotian's command, the Dragon King Hall's modern weaponry immediately opened fire.
Countless artillery shells bombarded the Jile Buddha Sect's protective mountain formation, the roar of explosions continuous.
However, the protective mountain formation merely flickered with light. No matter how fierce the bombardment, it remained unmoving.
But the Dragon King Hall's firepower seemed inexhaustible, never ceasing for a single moment, relentlessly attacking.
Seeing the entire field of vision filled with fire, even though they knew the formation would not break, the people of the Jile Buddha Sect could not help but feel fear.
The power of modern weaponry was too terrifying!
"Hmm?"
At the same time, within the Jile Buddha Sect, the trapped Liuli Bodhisattva looked puzzled. He sensed the energy fluctuations of the great formation and couldn't help but frown.
"How can this be? Li Xiaotian has reached the great formation? How did he manage that?"
Liuli Bodhisattva whispered, filled with suspicion. He knew the strength of the Jile Buddha Sect. Even if Li Xiaotian had invited some helpers from Yanzhou, it was impossible for him to have reached the protective mountain formation this quickly.
Could it be that the Jile Buddha Sect offered no resistance, intentionally letting Li Xiaotian through?
No! That shouldn't be the case! Liuli Bodhisattva shook his head. Allowing the enemy to reach the protective mountain formation was akin to letting them reach the doorstep.
The Jile Buddha Sect was one of the Four Great Sects; they would never tolerate such provocation.
Equally perplexed was Jiyu Bodhisattva, who was currently in the underground cave. As the Sect Master of the Jile Buddha Sect, he could naturally sense the changes in the great formation more easily.
"What's going on? You can't even deal with one Li Xiaotian?"
Jiyu Bodhisattva's expression darkened. Li Xiaotian, who had just entered the Hegemon realm, even with an army, was something his sect members should have been able to handle without him needing to intervene.
But now, Li Xiaotian had reached the sect's doorstep. What was Agus doing managing the sect?
Just then, a Jile Buddha Sect expert who had just arrived outside the underground cave quickly called out to Jiyu Bodhisattva.
"What is it?"
Jiyu Bodhisattva did not go out, his voice directly reaching the ears of the approaching person.
"Bodhisattva, please come out and fight! Li Xiaotian is too strong. Elder Zhuo'er was no match for Li Xiaotian in a single move and was killed on the spot! Over thirty of our sect's Royal-grade experts have already fallen!"
The person said urgently, not even taking a breath, and continued.
"Moreover, thirty percent of our disciples were killed by Li Xiaotian's army's modern weaponry! Our sect is in grave danger!!"
"What?!!! Scoundrel!!"
Upon hearing this, Jiyu Bodhisattva's expression became ferocious. Li Xiaotian was unrivaled, over thirty of their sect elders had fallen, and even more ordinary disciples, a whole thirty percent!
How was this possible? Even when the ancient Jile Buddha Sect battled the demon race, they had never suffered such heavy losses in such a short period.
"Trash!! A bunch of trash!!!"
Jiyu Bodhisattva couldn't help but curse. He had thought Li Xiaotian was insignificant, but he never expected Agus and the others to be so incompetent, resulting in so many deaths!
"Damn it!"
Jiyu Bodhisattva growled. With this, his entire plan was in disarray!
He gritted his teeth and glanced at the two figures floating in the abyss, feeling a slight tinge of regret.
He had miscalculated this time. He had thought that even if Galliton provoked Li Xiaotian and drew the attention of the entire Buddha State, he would still be able to control the situation.
But he never expected that the sect experts he considered the least likely to cause trouble would ultimately be the ones to do so.
Over a hundred Royal-grade elders and tens of thousands of sect disciples were no match for a single Li Xiaotian!
This had ruined his entire plan!
In the abyss, the two floating figures were Ye Qingmei and her daughter Tiantian.
At this moment, they both seemed to be in a deep sleep, enveloped by a ball of light.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see wisps of blood essence floating from their bodies, covering the surface of the light ball, eventually forming a drop of blood that then fell into the abyss.
From the depths of the abyss, terrifying, heart-pounding auras emanated from time to time, as if a formidable existence was about to awaken.
"Should I give up?"
Jiyu Bodhisattva felt a desire to retreat. If the things he had done were discovered, he would be in grave danger.
But if he gave up, where would he find two individuals with such pure unrivaled bloodlines in the future?
Moreover, they were descendants of the Moon God, an exceptional lineage among unrivaled powerhouses, a bloodline even harder to find!
"A bunch of idiots! Useless! Ruining my great plan!!!"
Jiyu Bodhisattva roared. He realized he couldn't stop now. If he abandoned his plan, what would he do with Li Xiaotian's wife and daughter?
Return them to Li Xiaotian? Then he would surely discover that the unrivaled blood essence within them had changed. With all the Buddha Sect's powerful experts investigating, his actions would be exposed.
But if he killed them and destroyed the evidence, Li Xiaotian would never let it go and would fight him to the death.
Furthermore, there was someone in the sect whom he feared, and that was Liuli. If she discovered what he was doing, he would be finished too!
Jiyu Bodhisattva's face contorted with rage. He had fallen into a dead end, betrayed by his own sect!
