Chapter 826

As the Lotus Life Buddha performed the tonsure, the four Gao Seng chanted sutras.

With every strand of black hair that Tie Muzhen lost, the compassion and suffering on his face deepened further, and immediately a Jin Guang would emerge across his features.

Soon after, Jin Guang began to well up from within his body.

The Qinglong Society members, upon seeing this, could not help but be greatly astonished.

Yan Shisan, arms crossed, wore an expression of detached amusement as he spoke to Ye Gucheng beside him,

"Old Ye, what do you think the Yuan Khan is thinking?"

"Could it be that since he can't defeat us, he believes shaving his head and becoming a monk will let him escape worldly troubles?"

"…"

Ye Gucheng, equally baffled by the Yuan's actions, remained expressionless and gave no reply to Yan Shisan.

"Maybe they think going bald makes you stronger?"

Gui Chen often sparred with Yan Shisan and Ye Gucheng, and frequently undertook missions with them; he was familiar enough with the two to crack a joke.

The assembled Qinglong Society experts and assassins all couldn't help but laugh.

Go bald and get stronger?

What kind of bizarre logic is that!

This large-scale arrival of the Qinglong Society, besides the Four Season Protectors, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, several Longshou, and the Grand Longshou Ximen Wudi,

had already brought forth most of the exposed experts.

In everyone's hearts, boundless confidence surged forth.

In their minds, unless Tie Muzhen, after going bald, reached the realm of Ximen Wudi,

no ordinary person would take this lavish Qinglong Society lineup seriously!

Thus, after the joke, the Qinglong Society members simply watched quietly as Tie Muzhen underwent public tonsure.

Yuan ministers who knew the secret, like Si Hanfei, prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing and kowtowing toward Tie Muzhen.

Those who did not know were utterly bewildered.

Tie Muzhen, however, grew ever more majestic and solemn.

When the final strand of black hair was shaved off, the Lotus Life Buddha suddenly struck with one palm, shattering Tie Muzhen's python robe.

He picked up a begging bowl, poured out golden liquid from within, and drenched Tie Muzhen's head and face, then slowly flowed over every inch of Tie Muzhen's body!

629 Is there a punch more terrifying than this?

As the golden liquid spread over Tie Muzhen's entire body, his aura transformed completely, and his appearance seemed to undergo a drastic change.

He no longer resembled his former noble and opulent self, but instead leaned toward the solemn majesty of a Gao Seng.

Golden radiance continuously emanated from his body.

The Yuan ministers and courtiers, bathed in the golden radiance, the fanatical ones like Si Hanfei and the four attendant Gao Seng, now chanted sutras with calmer tones.

Their cadence and pace gradually aligned with the rhythm of the golden radiance.

The despondent ones, those whose legs trembled and secretions leaked from between them,

bathed in the golden radiance, no longer felt their previous anxiety and fear, but instead gradually calmed down.

Like Si Hanfei and the four attendant Gao Seng, they sat cross-legged, joining the chanting of sutras.

As time passed, the golden radiance grew stronger, gradually enveloping all the Yuan ministers and courtiers.

For a moment, a strange scene emerged.

In the most solemn and dignified grand hall of the Yuan court, the Yuan ministers resembled monks paying homage to a holy Buddha,

bathed in golden radiance, chanting sutras in unison with its rhythm and tempo.

Grand Khan Tie Muzhen sat at the center like a true Buddha.

If someone unfamiliar saw this scene,

they might mistake it for a sacred Buddhist sermon held in some temple.

The Qinglong Society members gathered around, except for the two Longshou and the Four Guest Masters, all wore expressions of curiosity.

"Mr. Xu, do these Yuan people think chanting sutras can drive us away?"

Qiao Feng, curious, quietly asked the Di Shitian before him.

Yan Shisan, Ye Gucheng, Gui Chen, and others also leaned in, ears perked up, listening intently.

They wanted to hear what Di Shitian would say.

Among the Four Guest Masters, Wu Wudi had the highest cultivation, but he rarely mingled in the mortal world, so few in the Qinglong Society dared to publicly ask him questions.

Instead, Di Shitian, perhaps having joined the Qinglong Society as a servant of Grand Longshou Ximen Wudi,

though equally high in cultivation, was the most approachable of the Four Guest Masters.

Whenever anyone had questions about martial arts, he never refused to offer Ci Sect.

Moreover, since the Xixia battle, Qiao Feng had become famous throughout the Nine Provinces and was envied by countless members within the Qinglong Society.

After all, how many in the world had been personally rescued by the Grand Longshou?

Hearing Qiao Feng's question, Di Shitian, who had always been expressionless, gave a calm smile and replied loudly,

"Brother Qiao misunderstands!

This is actually one of the Yuan's secret weapons: using the collective will of the masses to transform one person into a Buddha!"

"Become a Buddha? Does a Buddha truly exist in this world?"

Hearing Di Shitian say this, Gui Chen asked curiously.

Gui Chen was a brilliant figure of the School of Vertical and Horizontal Alliances, whose Way existed solely in the mortal realm.

He regarded the Buddha of Fomen and the gods of Daoism as insubstantial and illusory.

In Gui Chen's mind, and in the minds of Qinglong Society members, the only true god in this world was probably none other than Grand Longshou Ximen Wudi.

"Hah! What damn Buddha? Today we've come to slaughter Buddhas!"

Xiao Jingtian, known as the Great Demon God, had a bold and unrestrained nature.

Suddenly he let out a loud laugh and switched instantly from his ordinary, peasant-like form to the Demon God form activated by Hun Tian Si Jue.

The four natural elements—wind, thunder, fire, and rain—accompanied his Demon God body.

Then he did not wait, launching a punch straight into the air.

This punch summoned the four natural elements—wind, thunder, fire, and rain.

Under this punch, the entire hall trembled uncontrollably.

Boom—boom—boom…

The next instant, the hall could hold out no longer, and under the rampage of the four natural elements, it exploded into dust.

Countless particles of dust, carried by the punch, surged toward the center of the hall where the Great Yuan Lai Junchen stood.

Where the punch's force reached, even space seemed ready to collapse.

"My heavens! Is Mr. Big Laugh really this terrifying?"

"What? Is this the first time you've seen Mr. Big Laugh fight?"

"Well, I've only recently joined the Qinglong Society..."

"That explains it. Actually, this punch isn't even Mr. Big Laugh's peak."

"There's a punch even more terrifying than this?"

"Of course. Just look at recent events."

When the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty appeared, the real-bodied Centipede Pudu Cihang radiated overwhelming demonic aura.

Even Yan Chixia of the Xuanxinzheng Sect was forced to flee in disgrace.

The four Mr. s acted together, each unleashing their ultimate techniques.

In a single move, they froze and imprisoned the beast.

Among them, Mr. Big Laugh used his famed technique, Hun Tian Si Jue.

That punch—tch, tch, tch..."

"What a pity! I was on another mission back then and didn't make it!"

"Hah! Joining the Qinglong Society, you'll not only see Mr. Big Laugh fight."

"If you earn some merit, even his personal guidance might not be out of reach!"

"Really? Could I receive guidance from Mr. Big Laugh? Is that true?"

"Do you even need to doubt it?"

"No need, no need—I see now I gave up... hey, I was right!"
