Chapter 144
<!-- Before Content -->
The moment Lu Qi fell, the figure in red that appeared and disappeared intermittently above the temple trembled noticeably.
Xiaobai and the others came running over, stunned.
“Eldest Senior Brother, he said he had a Buddha lamp, and if he dies, the lamp goes out. It will attract the law enforcement monks!” Xiaobai hurriedly reminded.
“I know,” Jiang Chen said, his expression unchanged.
“You know and still you kill him? Eldest Senior Brother, why don’t you ride on me, and we run away quickly!” Xiaobai was already panicking.
To this, Jiang Chen just shook his head and stood up, saying, “Xiaobai, all of this is for you! I just tested and found that this person will not defy the heavens, he lied to you so he must die.”
“… Eldest… Wuu… Eldest Senior Brother!!”

Xiaobai was moved to tears, standing up straight, her tiger paws hugging Jiang Chen and crying bitterly.For her sake, Jiang Chen disregarded the danger and killed the preaching monk of the Buddha Temple!
This was, indeed, too moving for the tiger!
“Xiaobai, don’t cry. Since you call me Eldest Senior Brother like Qingning does, then I will protect you,” Jiang Chen continued to coax Xiaobai.
Sure enough.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai cried even harder, “How can I ever repay you for treating me so well, Eldest Senior Brother!!”
‘It seems there’s no change, still a foolish tiger.’ Jiang Chen nodded to himself, certain in his heart.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Sister Bai is right. This matter will surely alarm the law enforcement monks, so we should leave quickly,” Liu Wen, the junior brother, also advised.
Leave?
Leaving was out of the question.
He killed to cause a disturbance and incidentally to shift the blame onto Xiaobai. How could he possibly leave?
And just as he was thinking of letting Xiaobai and the others leave first, more than ten pale yellow figures approached from a distance.
In just a few moments, they had arrived and surrounded Jiang Chen and the others.
Jiang Chen counted that there were eighteen monks holding Demon-Subduing Staffs, all from the Core Formation realm, especially the leading monk, whose aura was profound, likely of the Heavenly Origin realm.
“Amitabha.”
The leading monk stepped forward, his eyes wide with anger, and asked, “Who destroyed this temple?”
At this, Xiaobai stopped crying.
Last time, she and Jiang Chen knocked Lin Feng and Zhang Hu off the cliff together, but in the end, only Jiang Chen was punished.
This had always made her feel guilty, and she didn’t want to repeat that.
But before she could confess,
“I did it,” Jiang Chen confessed first.
As he spoke, he also gave Xiaobai a meaningful glance.
That look seemed to say, “Xiaobai, leave everything to me.”
Xiaobai cried again.
At this moment, she finally understood why Qingning loved to cry so much.
With such an Eldest Senior Brother, who wouldn’t be moved to tears?
“It’s not like that,” Xiaobai said with a heavy nasal voice, “Actually, it was me…”
“Your preaching monk Lu Qi was also killed by me,” Jiang Chen interrupted again.
“Even so, but Eldest Senior Brother did it for me…” Xiaobai tried to speak again.
“Bald donkeys, prepare to die!” Jiang Chen charged forward.
Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded!
The law-enforcing monks were also stunned!

Usually, when they enforced the law, they would investigate the matter first.
They had never encountered someone who admitted their guilt so openly and attacked them right away!
If it weren’t for Jiang Chen’s murderous aura, they wouldn’t have even reacted in time!
The leading law-enforcing monk was named Du Ming.
Seeing Jiang Chen charging straight at him, Du Ming held a staff in one hand and a palm upright in the other, declaring, “This poor monk’s Dharma name is Du Ming. Donor, your malevolent energy is too strong beyond salvation, only to be liberated upon my staff!”
With that, he went straight to meet Jiang Chen.
The other law-enforcing monks, seeing this, immediately scattered in all directions, forming a Buddhist Sect staff formation in a circle, surrounding Jiang Chen, their Demon-Subduing Staffs shining with golden light.
Xiaobai and the others wanted to step forward to help but were stopped by Jiang Chen, who suddenly stood still and raised his hand.
“Just watch,” Jiang Chen said calmly.
Hearing this, Du Ming frowned but also let out a sigh of relief.
He could tell at a glance that the big White Tiger was no ordinary creature.
He had thought there would be a fierce battle today, but he didn’t expect the man in black to stop his companions from helping.
Perhaps this person could still be saved?
With this thought in mind, Du Ming said, “Donor, would you be willing to follow me back to our temple, chant sutras for ten years, and rid yourself of this malevolent energy? Let me try to save you?”
“Could I enter the Six Prisons?” Jiang Chen countered.
This made Du Ming frown again.
The Six Prisons were for punishing the most vicious and evil beings.
Although Jiang Chen had destroyed temples and killed monks, he hadn’t reached the level of being sent to the Six Prisons.
You should know.
Those who enter the Six Prisons, be they sinners or demons, all regret not being liberated directly!
From Du Ming’s expression, Jiang Chen had already gotten his answer.
Since he couldn’t enter the Six Prisons, he naturally wouldn’t surrender without a fight.
He had always known, even though he was in the Jiuyan Sect, other sects had always been very interested in his information. Once his identity was revealed, those bald donkeys from the Buddha Temple would definitely try to drive him away.
Therefore, he couldn’t use the Flame Blood Dragon Sword or the Azure Lotus Sword Art.
In this case, he could only use the Buddhist Sect’s techniques.
Although using the Buddhist Sect’s techniques directly ran the risk of exposing that he had practiced the Buddha Temple’s treasured sutra, he couldn’t worry about that now.
Now that Lin Feng had entered the Six Prisons, he had to hurry and cause destruction.
If those bald donkeys from the Buddha Temple wanted to liberate him on the spot, then Xiao Hongyi would have to take him directly into the Six Prisons!
If Xiao Hongyi wasn’t up to the task, then he would have to shake them off!
With this in mind, Jiang Chen’s expression changed.
He brought his hands together and said without emotion, “Amitabha, this old monk has come from the Eastern Land, and I did not expect that this Buddha Temple has already fallen into evil. Today, I shall eliminate you group of demonic Buddhist monks on behalf of the Buddha!”
As he spoke, the Buddha Stupa Sutra within him began to circulate secretly.
The sound of Buddha murmured as if it were right by one’s ear. His body bathed in Buddha’s light, transforming into a golden body.
In just a few moments, his figure grew several times larger, turning into a towering golden body with Buddha’s light on his head like a tri-colored bright sun, dazzling and brilliant!
“????”
Seeing this, the group of law-enforcing monks was full of question marks. What’s going on?
The evil man who was full of malevolent energy just a moment ago had suddenly become a high-ranking Buddhist monk?
That solid golden body and that tri-colored sun-like Buddha’s light, even the Six Buddha sons of the Buddha Temple were slightly inferior!
More importantly, that Buddha’s light seemed to draw on the Buddhist Sect techniques they practiced, making them feel as if they were in the presence of the Buddha himself, and they began to feel reverence!
The Buddha Stupa Sutra was the Buddha Temple’s treasured sutra, and aside from a few high-ranking members of the Buddha Temple, no one can recognize it.

Du Ming sensed something strange but couldn’t figure it out for the moment.
Just as he was scratching his head and pondering whether to take action, Jiang Chen’s lips parted, and he uttered a golden syllable:
“Om!”
As the syllable left his mouth, it grew larger and began to rotate.
At the same time, it was as if thousands of monks were chanting in unison, the sound of “Om” never ceasing, like the murmurs of many Buddhas.
This was the first word of the Six Syllable Mantra.
Under the “Om” seal, pride and ego are cleansed, cutting off the suffering of degeneration and mutation.
The golden syllable rotated above his head, and the Buddha’s light shone on everyone.
Except for Du Ming.
The rest of the law-enforcing monks seemed to be instantly enlightened, their eyes becoming dull as they dropped their Demon-Subduing Staffs, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to chant sutras and repent.
“Burying evil and guiding the good, this old monk’s Dharma name is San Zang,” Jiang Chen spoke softly.
The sound of the Buddha’s voice rolled out, echoing through the universe.
After hearing this, many monks and cultivators ran out from the surrounding temples.
These people were shocked by Jiang Chen’s Buddha’s light and golden body and were instantly enlightened by the high-hanging “Om” syllable, immediately bowing down and saying:
“Master San Zang’s Buddhist teachings are as vast as the sea, please guide us…”
