Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 104: Self-destruction, Sowing Discord!

Half an hour later.

Outside the city of Luozhou.

Master Zhiyuan and his disciples silently appeared, floating in the sky directly above Luozhou, looking down at the entire city.

"Brother Zhiyuan, he's over there!"

Returning to Luozhou, Monk Zhishan was extremely excited, constantly pointing in the direction indicated by Master Zhiyuan.

"Liu Zimo's family lives in the villa area to the east of the city!"

"If we want to flatten Luozhou and save Master Wuxing and Brother Zhiming, we must first eliminate Liu Zimo, the biggest obstacle!"

At this moment, Monk Zhishan couldn't wait to see the scene of Liu Zimo begging for mercy on his knees. He wanted to repay all the humiliations Liu Zimo had inflicted on him a thousandfold!

Master Zhiyuan chanted a Buddhist mantra lightly, without much thought, and flew directly to the villa designated by Monk Zhishan.

"Hmm?!"

As soon as he landed, Master Zhiyuan couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly and turned to look at Zhishan beside him.

At this moment, Zhishan also sensed that something was wrong. His face changed, and he directly rushed into the villa.

"No one?!"

"Could it be that they received the news in advance and escaped?"

Zhishan stood in the hall, talking to himself, feeling annoyed that he couldn't find Liu Zimo in the first place.

"Uncle Zhishan, no one has lived here for at least half a month!"

At this time, Wuzhen, a true disciple of the Wuzi generation, followed from behind and glanced at the furnishings in the hall and the thin layer of dust scattered on the table. He reminded Zhishan in a low voice:

"That Liu Zimo may have quietly escaped with his family after you left Luozhou!"

"Escaped?" Zhishan's expression changed, and he decisively shook his head. "Impossible!"

"That guy is not a coward. If he really feared retaliation from our Dalin Temple, why did he cause trouble for us in the first place and provoke us?"

Zhishan couldn't forget Liu Zimo's arrogant attitude when he was expelled from Luozhou a month ago.

So no matter what, he couldn't believe that after provoking them, Liu Zimo would simply abandon the entire city of Luozhou and escape.

Liu Zimo was a peak Grandmaster, not only young and arrogant but also extremely confident in his martial prowess.

Without knowing that Master Zhiyuan had already broken through to the Saint realm, he had no reason to choose to avoid them.

"Let's go! Let's go to the Military Affairs Department!"

"He is the martial arts advisor of the Military Affairs Department. Even if he moved, he couldn't change his workplace. If we want to know where Liu Zimo is now, we can find out by asking at the Military Affairs Department!"

Zhishan quickly left the living room and once again proposed to Zhuyuan Shengshi.

Zhuyuan Shengshi remained silent.

Since they couldn't find Liu Zimo, it wouldn't be a bad choice to first rescue Wuxing, Zhiming, and the others from the military headquarters.

After all, another important task for them coming to Luozhou was to save Wuxing and the others.

Swish!

A breeze blew, and Zhuyuan Shengshi, along with a dozen disciples, swiftly moved to the military headquarters.

"Who dares to trespass into the military headquarters without permission... huh? Zhuyuan Patriarch?!"

Sensing someone breaking the rules and directly entering the headquarters without reporting, Kongwen, who was responsible for guarding the headquarters, instinctively flew up and reprimanded.

But before he could finish speaking, the young monk's legs went weak, his courage faltered, and he fell from mid-air.

He never dreamed that the person trespassing into the military headquarters would be their Great Lin Temple's Zhuyuan Shengshi!

This is bad!

What was bound to happen has finally happened!

Now that even Zhuyuan Patriarch has come knocking on their door, if Liu Guwen couldn't stop him, then they, the "traitors" who abandoned their sect and joined the military headquarters, would definitely face consequences!

While secretly reminding Liang Luojun, Yang Sisi, and the other senior brothers guarding the headquarters, Kongwen quickly ran to Zhuyuan Shengshi's side and respectfully bowed.

"Disciple Kongwen pays respects to Zhuyuan Patriarch, Zhishan Patriarch!"

Zhuyuan and Zhishan both lowered their heads and scrutinized this disciple with the name "Kongwen," their faces full of confusion.

Especially Zhishan, he couldn't help but ask:

"Kongwen, you actually broke through to the Golden Body Realm?"

"And also, why did you just..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhishan suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Kongwen, you honestly tell me, have you already left the sect and joined the military headquarters?!"

After all, Zhishan and Kongwen had been brainwashed by Yang Sisi before, so they knew very well how willing the people at the military headquarters were to spend money to recruit external martial artists or settle in Luozhou City.

Seeing that Kongwen had already reached the Golden Body Realm, it was clear that it was the result of taking the "Boundary Breaking Pill"!

Otherwise, with Kongwen's own martial aptitude, it would probably take another ten years for him to successfully break through and advance!

"Amitabha!"

Zhuyuan Shengshi also chanted a Buddhist mantra, interrupting Zhishan's questioning.

Because just now, his saint-level consciousness had already thoroughly explored the entire military headquarters.

Naturally, he had also discovered that there were more than just Kongwen among the disciples who joined the military headquarters.

Moreover, if we were talking about the larger military headquarters, the only one currently restricted and imprisoned in terms of cultivation was Wuxing.

Where did everyone else go? It's not difficult to guess based on the performance of these disciples.

Master Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.

Wan also didn't expect that, in just a month's time, all the elders and inner disciples in the city of Luozhou had betrayed the sect and surrendered!

These grandmaster elders and the talented disciples of the inner sect were all pillars and future hopes that the Dali Temple had put in great effort to cultivate.

Now they have all become followers of someone else!

What is this?

If this news spreads, the reputation that the Dali Temple has accumulated over thousands of years will likely be completely destroyed and become a laughingstock!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At this moment, the three disciples with the word "empty" in their names, Kongyi, Kongxin, and Kongse, also arrived one after another.

Just like before, they stood in front of Master Zhiyuan, bowing their heads and remaining silent, like children who had made a mistake.

"Where are the others? Did they all join the military office in Luozhou?" Master Zhiyuan took a deep breath and looked at the four disciples with a calm gaze, asking softly.

Kongwen respectfully replied, "In response to Master Uncle, except for the Sect Master Uncle, the other senior ancestors and senior brothers have all chosen to settle in Luozhou or directly join the military office!"

"At present, only the four of us are responsible for guarding the camp. The rest of the senior brothers have all gone out of the city to hunt and earn military merits!"

With a confirmed answer, the blood in Master Zhiyuan's chest surged.

Sure enough, except for Wuxing, everyone else had betrayed!

In just a short month, they had all abandoned the sect that had nurtured them and turned to the military office that they had always looked down upon!

"Why did you all... forget it!"

Master Zhiyuan had originally wanted to ask these people about the specific reasons for their betrayal, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted directly.

With a sweep of his gaze, Master Zhiyuan looked at Kongwen and the other three with a disappointed expression, and said indifferently,

"You are aware of the rules of the Dali Temple. Regardless of the reason, betraying the temple is an unforgivable crime. The four of you, take your own lives!"

Whoosh!

Upon hearing Master Zhiyuan's judgment, Kongwen, Kongyi, Kongxin, and Kongse all trembled at the same time!

Sure enough, even the benevolent Master Zhiyuan, who was known throughout the world for his kindness, showed no mercy when faced with traitors of the sect.

In just a few words, he decided the life and death of all of them!

However, at this moment, Kongwen, Kongyi, and the others did not obey Master Zhiyuan's command as they had done before.

Swish!

The four of them simultaneously took a step back, assuming a defensive posture, nervously and vigilantly confronting Master Zhiyuan and the others.

Seeing the unfamiliar and rebellious gaze in their eyes, Master Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

At this point, he finally understood that these disciples of the empty generation had already made up their minds to betray the temple and join the enemy, and there was no way to persuade them back!

"What a domineering Master Zhiyuan!"

At this moment, Yang Sisi, Liang Luojun, and Zhou Yiren also appeared at the same time.

Hearing Master Zhiyuan's intention to make the empty disciples take their own lives as an apology, Yang Sisi couldn't help but mock and provoke:

"Empty Wen, Empty Yi, Empty Xin, Empty Se, the four masters, are now active members of our military department. Anyone who dares to harm them will be directly declaring war on our Daxia Military Department!"

"Master Zhiyuan, are you sure you want to directly stand against our entire Daxia Military Department?"

"Facing the whole country, the whole military department, do you think you still have Dalin Temple behind you to bear the consequences?!"

Master Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

And Zhi Shan, standing beside Master Zhiyuan, couldn't help but show a hint of sternness when he saw Yang Sisi.

It was this seemingly gentle and lovely girl who had almost stripped him naked during the interrogation in the confinement room of the military department.

It can be said without reservation that all the secrets on him were almost completely exposed to this woman.

In the entire Luozhou City, besides Liu Zimo, Zhi Shan hated and wanted to slap no one more than the current Yang Sisi.

"What a joke!" Zhi Shan snorted coldly and continued, "When the calamity struck and the order collapsed, Daxia was already overwhelmed. The country is no longer a country. Holding the banner of the country and the military department, who can you scare?"

"Little girl, let me give you a piece of advice. This is our own business in Dalin Temple. You military department should stay out of it!"

"And, where is Liu Zimo?"

"Why hasn't he shown up until now? Did he hear that my senior brother Zhiyuan came and hid with his tail between his legs?"

Yang Sisi's gaze shifted directly to Zhi Shan, she smirked and said in a coquettish voice,

"I wonder who's talking, turns out it's Master Zhishan!"

"Speaking of which, I haven't properly thanked Master Zhishan yet!"

"If it weren't for you, Master, tirelessly shuttling between Luozhou City and Dalin Temple, bringing all the outstanding disciples of Dalin Temple to Luozhou, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to recruit so many excellent military participants!"

Saying that, Yang Sisi couldn't help but look up and size up the fifteen true disciples of the Golden Body Realm standing behind Zhi Shan. She showed a pleased expression and said,

"If I'm not mistaken, these new masters should be the new soldiers that Master Zhishan brought to Luozhou, right?"

"Not bad, not bad. When I meet Advisor Liu, I will definitely praise Master Zhishan in front of him!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhishan's old face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Especially when Master Zhiyuan, as well as Wuzhen and others, unconsciously cast a suspicious gaze at him, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable and chilled!

This woman is truly treacherous and malicious!

In just a few words, she has managed to sow discord and even made Master Zhiyuan start to doubt him!
