Chapter 48: The Four Divine Beasts Clan Emerges

Kong Xuan looked with a heavy expression at the person who had rescued Randeng, sensing the formidable aura radiating from his body. "Who are you? You shouldn't have anything to do with Buddhism. I advise you not to stop me," Kong Xuan said threateningly.

"Trying to scare me? Hmph, today I will not only stop you, I will also finish you off. I am quite willing to create a powerful enemy for myself; today, you won't be able to escape even with wings," that person said arrogantly, clearly very confident in his own strength.

"Hmph, who exactly are you to be so wild? Today, I don't think anyone can keep me here," Kong Xuan said with disdain, looking at the mysterious person's arrogant demeanor.

"Listen well, I am Huxiao, patriarch of the White Tiger Clan. I have already formed an alliance with Buddhism, and you will be the best gift for our White Tiger Clan to show our sincerity in this cooperation," Huxiao said, smiling at Kong Xuan as if he already viewed Kong Xuan as something in his pocket.

Kong Xuan looked at Huxiao opposite him. If he were in his prime, a battle with him might end in a draw, but now his magic power was too depleted, and with Randeng, Duobao, and others nearby eyeing him covetously, it seemed he could not wipe out Buddhism today.

"Five-Colored Divine Light, retract!" With a loud roar from Kong Xuan, the countless monks around were all pulled into the Five-Colored Divine Light and instantly refined. Huxiao, Randeng, and the others were also pulled into the Five-Colored Divine Light, but they could not be refined; they only suffered a bit. Of course, this was because Kong Xuan lacked sufficient magic power; in his prime, they would have been severely injured if not killed.

Not five minutes later, Huxiao was the first to emerge from the Five-Colored Divine Light, though his appearance was incredibly disheveled, followed by Randeng and the others in turn.

"Kong Xuan, you have no more tricks now, right? Prepare to die," Huxiao said bitterly. As the patriarch of the White Tiger Clan, when had he ever suffered such a grievance? He immediately went berserk.

"Hmph, let me show you my methods again. I will make your Buddhism suffer a great loss of vitality, haha." After Kong Xuan finished speaking, he let out a loud roar: "Space Shattering!" The space where Buddhism was located began to crack continuously. In an instant, more than half of the Buddhist disciples were lost, and the remaining ones were all missing arms or legs. Only Randeng and a few others barely managed to dodge, looking at Kong Xuan with some fear. He actually possessed both fire and space attributes; if he were allowed to continue growing, perhaps only a Saint could suppress him. But who knew when the Saints would return? They absolutely could not let him go. Thinking of this, they rushed toward Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan looked at the crowd charging over with a smile and said softly, "Everyone, goodbye, we shall meet again. Teleportation." In an instant, Kong Xuan disappeared before everyone's eyes, and his aura could not be felt for ten thousand miles around; clearly, he had run away. Huxiao also began to ponder whether cooperating with Buddhism was a wrong decision.

One hundred thousand miles away, a figure suddenly appeared, shouting loudly toward the distant Buddhism: "Damn it, fortunately, I once asked Grandmaster for advice on the ultimate technique for escaping using space power, otherwise I would have been finished here today. Huxiao, I have noted this grudge; I will not rest until I turn your White Tiger Clan upside down. Sigh, I had better recuperate for a few days before heading back." Kong Xuan looked at the remaining bit of magic power inside his body and said with a wry smile.

The news that Buddhism had been severely damaged by Kong Xuan spread quickly.

Chan Sect.

"Junior brother, Kong Xuan has returned, and he single-handedly wiped out two-thirds of Buddhism's strength. Moreover, if the patriarch of the White Tiger Clan hadn't suddenly appeared at the end, they probably wouldn't have been able to stop Kong Xuan," Guangchengzi said to Yuding Zhenren.

Upon hearing the name Kong Xuan, Yuding Zhenren's eyes suddenly radiated golden light, and his entire body exuded immense battle intent. "He is back. It seems the chaos has started again. The Four Divine Beasts Clan has emerged. Since the White Tiger Clan has joined forces with Buddhism, we must also find an ally."

Hearing Yuding's words, Guangchengzi smiled and said, "Yes, I have already contacted the Azure Dragon Clan of the East. Judging by the Azure Dragon's attitude, the chances of an alliance are very high."

"Good, then that is fine. Senior brother, you go ahead and handle matters; I am going to continue my seclusion." After Yuding finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate. Guangchengzi looked at Yuding helplessly, clearly having grown accustomed to this.

Heavenly Court

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, the strongest person from the Investiture of the Gods battle two thousand years ago, Kong Xuan, has returned. He almost wiped out Buddhism, and it was only because the patriarch of the White Tiger Clan intervened that Kong Xuan was forced to flee," Taibai Jinxing said, rushing in.

"Oh? Kong Xuan is back? Once he shows himself, quickly send some gifts and establish a good relationship with him," the Jade Emperor said steadily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this subject understands." After speaking, Taibai withdrew.

Jie Sect

"Junior Aunt, why did you call us here?" Yuan Hong said as he walked into Biyou Palace.

"Do you know that your master attacked Buddhism?" Yunxiao asked, looking at Yuan Hong in front of her.

"I know. Junior brother Wukong already told me. What happened? Is Master in trouble?" Yuan Hong asked hurriedly.

"That is not the case. Senior brother Kong Xuan single-handedly wiped out two-thirds of Buddhism's strength, and Randeng even nearly died under his spear. However, the patriarch of the White Tiger Clan appeared—he is a figure on the same level as Zhenyuanzi and the others—and in the end, Senior brother withdrew. It has already been several days, and he has not returned, which shows that Senior brother's consumption this time was not small," Yunxiao said, frowning.

"Don't worry, Junior Aunt, my master will be fine. I still look up to my master's strength even now," Yuan Hong said, offering comfort.

"Very well, you all go back and wait for your Grandmaster to return. When that time comes, another fierce battle will break out in the world," Yunxiao said, looking at the clouds outside in a daze.
