Chapter 580: Refining Humans into Buddha, the Western Pure Land

Jing Yuheng subconsciously raised his head; upon seeing this, he was stunned.

Your Majesty, is that Buddha light?

Her words carried a hint of doubt, a hint of uncertainty; her heart skipped a beat, she knew something was going to happen—the appearance of Buddha light meant the Myriad Poisons Demon King had already arrived, and moreover, they were very close.

The capital might be his next destination; those two demon kings dare to be so presumptuous, truly thinking the capital is their home, to come and go as they please?

Qi Ruohua's complexion was grim as she stared at the Buddha light ahead; her eyes narrowed, and from the slits of her narrowed eyes a fierce killing intent showed.

Jing Yuheng felt the killing intent and quickly said, "Your Majesty, let me lead men to intercept and kill them; they dare to spread Buddhist teachings within the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, slaughtering innocents—truly they do not take our Black Dragon Guard seriously."

"The Myriad Poisons Demon King and Mu Longhao aren't worth mourning; I'll go kill them now," he snorted.

Qi Ruohua raised her hand: "Wait."

Jing Yuheng exclaimed in shock, "Your Majesty, why?"

Starting national painting pointed ahead; the Buddha light gradually approached, growing brighter.

That Buddha light was nauseating; seeing it, an involuntary feeling of disgust arose in the heart, not warmth nor enjoyment.

The Buddha light gradually approached; Jing Yuheng knew the Myriad Poisons Demon King had noticed them and was quickly coming this way.

Jing Yuheng dared not hesitate; he immediately used the jade slip to summon the Black Dragon Guard to the capital, having all experts block the Myriad Poisons Demon King's movements—if they dared to step even half a foot into the capital, Jing Yuheng would make them pay.

The Black Dragon Guard acted swiftly, receiving Jing Yuheng's order and quickly approaching.

Bailong and the Deputy Hall Master of the Azure Dragon quickly appeared, standing in the distance; behind them, the Black Dragon Guard kept arriving, assembling rapidly—all elite Black Dragon Guard protecting the capital's safety.

Besides them, many soldiers also approached; these soldiers were not strong, but when gathered together they exuded a killing aura that made people retreat three feet.

The Fifth Prince also arrived, hands clasped behind his back, walking over slowly, his face grim as he stared at the Buddha light in the distance.

The Buddha light stopped moving, as if sensing the danger here.

Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, traces of the Myriad Poisons Demon King and the Plague Demon Beast have appeared; should we kill them?"

Those two demon kings are the chief culprits bringing disaster to the Great Qi Dynasty; if not killed, the Fifth Prince would feel uneasy inside.

Although his life and death were controlled by Qi Ruohua, she had not ordered him to do anything; he remained free, merely needing to stay inside and outside the capital to protect her safety, and the Fifth Prince also understood, working for Qi Ruohua.

There was no way; with life and death in her hands, not acting was impossible.

If Qi Ruohua died, he would die too; therefore, the elder princess must not come to harm.

Toward the Monster Race, the Fifth Prince had long been displeased, especially the Plague Demon Beast, which dared to kill so many—its crimes are countless.

Moreover, the Myriad Poisons Demon King, as a demon king, brings disaster to the court; it nearly caused the ruin of the Great Qi Dynasty's Qi family royal line—this debt cannot be ignored.

"Fifth Brother, wait; let's first see what they intend to do."

Strutting into the capital—this is not their style.

She wished they all knew that Qi Ruohua, hands behind her back, stared into the distance without the slightest fear.

"Elder Princess, demon kings are treacherous and deceitful; we must not be fooled, nor listen to their words."

"I know."

Qi Ruohua answered lightly; her words brooked no doubt.

Seeing this, the Fifth Prince had no choice but to relent.

Others would not seek boredom; they waited quietly in place.

After a quarter hour.

The Buddha light drew a little closer, but did not enter the capital, lingering outside.

The Myriad Poisons Demon King, surrounded by flashing Buddha light, gazed from afar and locked eyes with Qi Ruohua.

"Amitabha, the new Qi emperor, we meet again."

Beside him, the Plague Demon Beast Mu Longhao appeared, and the two stood together.

They looked like ordinary people, except the Myriad Poisons Demon King's Buddha light was overly dazzling, and the benevolent aura on him gave a strange feeling.

He did not look like a demon king, but rather a high monk.

His Buddhist dharma was profound; upon seeing this, everyone could not help but be greatly startled.

Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu secretly thought: "What profound Buddhist dharma! This demon truly is heaven‑favored—he didn't die, and can cultivate Buddhist dharma, finding his own path; if allowed to keep growing, he will soon reach the True Realm and be able to advance—then, I fear…"

The combat power of a True Realm cultivator is top‑tier in this world; if a True Realm demon king were born, it would be a disaster for this world.

A demon king like the Myriad Poisons Demon King must not be allowed to advance.

Killing intent condensed.

Jing Yuheng frowned tightly and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, this demon dares to tempt you; he should be killed."

Qi Ruohua raised her hand, cutting off Jing Yuheng's words.

With icy eyes she looked at the Myriad Poisons Demon King and his companion Mu Longhao, saying, "You two demon kings have come a thousand miles to see me; I do not know what you intend."

Hearing this, the Myriad Poisons Demon King smiled and said, "Amitabha, I hope Your Majesty will excuse me; this humble monk has come to spread the Buddhist dharma, to promote the Buddha's compassionate dharma— the world is ignorant, heaven and earth neglect their duty, mortals suffer calamities, and the Buddha, unwilling to ignore this, has sent me to save them."

"The gate to the Western Pure Land opens for them; this is their fortune—please, Your Majesty, do not interfere."

The Buddha light erupted again, shooting up to the heavens.

Under the Buddha light, some ordinary people immediately knelt down, devoutly worshipping.

Their souls were taken away in just a few breaths.

Some people with firm will were not taken, yet they could not endure it for long.

"Hmph."

Qi Ruohua gave a cold snort, shattering the Buddha light.

She raised her right hand, and a beam of light shot out.

Above the capital, a dragon's roar seemed to sound; faintly, a golden dragon of fortune rose into the void, glaring at the Myriad Poisons Demon King.

The Buddha light dissipated.

The golden dragon roared and attacked the two Myriad Poisons Demon King.

Hum.

The Demon King thrust the subduing demon pestle into the ground, a layer of Buddhist light protected him and the plague demon beast Mu Longhao; the fortune golden dragon's attack was blocked, and both were flung back several dozen meters, after which that layer of protection shattered.

The Demon King raised the subduing demon pestle and shook it toward the void.

Bang!

Roar!

The fortune golden dragon let out an angry roar, wanting to attack again.

Qi Ruohua lowered her hand and warned, "Demon King, Wangdu is not a place where you can act recklessly."

Seeing this, the Demon King laughed and said, "Qi Ruohua, why bother? I, a humble monk, am doing this for the sake of those mortals; rather than live a lifetime of ignorance and end up suffering torment until death, they would be better off following me into the Western Paradise to enjoy the baptism of Buddhist teachings."

Hmph!

Qi Ruohua really did not want to hear his shameless words, and ordered, "Jing Yuheng."

Your subordinate is here.

Take the Black Dragon Guard and kill them.

"Yes, sir." Jing Yuheng had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and led all the Black Dragon Guard out.

Fifth Younger Brother.

"Present." Qi Mingyu clasped his fists.

Kill them.

Yes.

Qi Mingyu followed along.
