650: Breaching_2 650: Breaching_2 Fire Buddha’s gaze was somber, and after a brief reflection, he said,
“Retreat to the inner sanctum and defend it fiercely. Destroy everything!”
The others’ expressions changed instantly.
“Big brother?!”
“Destroy everything?”
Yin Thunder Child spoke in a low voice, “Is that really necessary…? That is…”
Qiao Laoliu also said, “That’s right, big brother, we can still hold the Holy Temple, keep the doors firmly shut; even the Taoist Court Officers can’t break in for the time being…”
The other Demon Cultivators chimed in:
“That’s correct!”
“If the Taoist Court’s lapdogs come, then let’s kill them all and offer them as sacrifices. Whether we go or stay, it will be entirely up to us…”
“A bunch of lapdogs, have they been given too much face?”
“Kill them all!”
Fire Buddha shook his head, “You don’t understand…”
“Gu Changhuai is a tough opponent, different from the usual wine-sacks and rice-bags of the Taoist Court…”
“If they’ve managed to get in, it means that the Demon’s Cave has already started to leak…”
“We can’t hold the outer sanctum…”
“All we can do is hold up inside the inner sanctum.”
“Moreover, just in case, everything in the inner sanctum must be destroyed, we can’t leave behind any traces…”
“The Holy Temple is of great importance…”
“Should there be any sign of exposure, it must be completely extinguished; we cannot let outsiders find out…”
Fire Buddha’s expression was serious, brooking no refusal.
The other Demon Cultivators also took this to heart and nodded in agreement.
Fire Buddha’s expression softened a little, “Clean up the inner sanctum, and then we will find a way to break out. I know you have been hiding here and are a bit suffocated…”
“After we get out, you may indulge for a while; I won’t restrain you…”
“After that, we’ll… leave Qian State, where the sky is high and the sea is broad; we will be free and carefree…”
“Wait for the storms to settle in a few decades, and then come back to settle some old accounts…”
Hearing “indulge for a while,” the Demon Cultivators’ faces revealed lascivious smiles as they echoed, “We’ll follow big brother’s lead!”
So they took Master Yuan’s corpse and left the secret room to return to the inner sanctum.
Fire Buddha walked at the end.
Just before entering the dark and chaotic inner sanctum, not knowing what was concealed within, Fire Buddha suddenly stopped and looked back at the vast outer sanctum.
A doubt crept into his mind:
“Master Yuan died early… so who was it that discussed Buddhist Law with me?”
Fire Buddha frowned, pondered for a moment, and then turned around and walked into the depths of the Demon Palace.
The doors to the inner sanctum slowly closed, sealing Fire Buddha and the unknown secrets inside.
…
Outside the Demon’s Cave.
Gu Changhuai had gone back to dispatch troops.
Mo Hua was on the stone bridge, protected by Gu Quan and Gu An while dismantling the various alarms and Trap Formations on the bridge.
After dismantling them, Mo Hua sat at the head of the bridge, waiting.
But after a long wait, no one came.
“Does it take this long just to call someone?”
Mo Hua muttered to himself in silence.
According to Gu Changhuai, the Enforcement Leader of the Taoist Court should have been stationed just outside the narrow sky. In theory, they could have assembled in half an hour.
What had happened?
Mo Hua was somewhat puzzled.
Since he had to keep an eye on the Demon’s Cave, Mo Hua could only wait patiently.
After an indeterminate amount of time passed, the other end of the bridge finally became bustling, and the presence of many Cultivators was felt.
“They’re here!”
Mo Hua was invigorated.
Gu Quan was receiving them on the other side.
