Chapter 190: Rampant Qin Haoran, Overturning the Table
Luo Yong smiled and said softly:
"It is ridiculous for a Buddha to look angry. Don't you think so?"
Gu Shijiu smiled slightly and nodded:
"Yes, yes, Master Luo is right. But, how are you doing now?"
Luo Yong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed:
"Alas, of course the Buddha's power has been taken away. Now, I can only be regarded as a third-level martial artist at best. I only have the strength of my bones and muscles. The rest of the Buddhist secrets have been taken away and I can no longer practice them. As for the Bodhi Temple... I absolutely cannot go back, otherwise I will be punished by the Buddha."
He paused for a moment and then continued:
"Fortunately, I still have all the merits in my body. It seems that the Buddha does not want to deprive me of my merits by sacrificing his own merits, so he keeps them in my body."
Gu Nineteen suggested softly:
"In that case, why don't you come to our Hengdao Escort Agency? With your aptitude, Master, you will be able to regain your strength and become a hero again within ten years."
Luo Yong shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"My qualifications were those of the Buddhist school, but they have also been taken away from me. Now I have the lowest qualifications. I have decided to stay in this Demon Suppression County and study the power of my heart with peace of mind. I hope I can help you in the future when the immortals come."
Looking at Luo Yong's expression of pretending to be calm, everyone expressed their respect. After all, this master's noble character of selflessness was indeed worthy of everyone's learning and respect.
Gu Shijiu's eyes were filled with tears. After all, Luo Yong had done something wrong in order to save him. Everything was caused by him. Thinking of this, Gu Shijiu could not help but speak:
"Master Luo, today I leave three talismans here. You can tell me what you need at any time. If you crush a talisman, I will come immediately. No matter what it is, I will do my duty, no matter how hard it is. This oath is witnessed by heaven and earth. If I break this oath, heaven, earth, people and gods will kill me!"
Luo Yong smiled. It was no longer something he could refuse. He could only accept the three talismans with a smile and said softly:
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Gu. I also hope that you can achieve the great Dao as soon as possible, become the ninth level, and shine brightly on the day of the immortal's arrival."
Gu Shijiu nodded upon hearing this.
……
"What on earth is going on? Can anyone tell me, Old Lu?"
There was a murmur coming from the side, and everyone looked over and saw General Lu Chao, who had arrived at some point, standing by and watching quietly.
Next to Lu Chao, Imperial Preceptor Qiu Sheng and Prime Minister Qin Haoran were prominently present.
Seeing Gu Shijiu nodded, Xiao Yao said softly to Lu Chao and others:
"You came too late. The battle is over. All eight demon saints have perished, and more than half of the demon army of tens of millions has been lost."
Xiao Yao paused, and continued with a look of sorrow:
"Our sage Gongsun Changge has fallen, and the sage Luo Yong of the Bodhi Temple has lost all his cultivation. The Demon Suppression Army has been completely annihilated, and more than two million people in the Demon Suppression County have died. The Immortal Suppression Army and the Demon Suppression Army have been defeated and disorganized. The reinforcements from the Zhao family, the Bodhi Temple, and the Hengdao Escort Agency have basically been lost."
After Xiao Yao finished speaking, Prime Minister Qin Haoran said:
"Isn't this too exaggerated? How could the demons cause such a loss? Great Elder Xiao Yao, you will be held accountable for lying about your military achievements!"
Xiao Yao's originally sad expression suddenly turned into anger after hearing this. He pointed at the team of thousands of people behind him and said:
"Tens of thousands of immortal-suppressing troops, tens of thousands of demon-suppressing troops, and tens of thousands of devil-suppressing troops add up to more than 100,000 troops. The elders leading the team from Bodhi Temple plus 5,000 monks, the Zhao family's God of Wealth Guards and guards plus the elders, basically the entire family has come. Several branches near my Hengdao Escort Agency have also arrived. There are more than 200,000 people in total, and now only a few thousand are left behind! Do you think I'm exaggerating?"
Lu Chao was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly:
"So there are no troops of ours in the Demon Suppression Army city now? What about the civilians?"
"Isn't what I said clear? All the people in Zhenmo County have died. Zhenmo County is now an empty city!"
Xiao Yao shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, Imperial Master Qiu Sheng quickly turned over and entered the city. After a moment, he came out again with a cold face and said in a chilling tone:
"The Demon Saint blew himself up in the city, more than one!"
Prime Minister Qin Haoran and Lu Chao fell into silence. The Demon Saint self-destructed? Who could stop it? It was simply an irresistible factor.
"Three Demon Saints self-destructed, and we couldn't stop them. We had already eliminated five Demon Saints, and the remaining three knew they had no way to escape, so they directly self-destructed and we couldn't stop them. We didn't expect them to be so determined."
Xiao Yao spoke calmly.
"I will report the truth to the Emperor. The saints made wrong decisions, which gave the Demon Saint an opportunity to self-destruct in Demon Suppression County, resulting in the deaths of two million people in Demon Suppression County. The saints are to blame!"
Qin Haoran on the side said with a sneer.
"You want to die, don't you?"
Xiao Yao was furious, and an incomparable holy power burst out, suppressing Qin Haoran fiercely.
Qin Haoran snorted coldly, and a halo appeared on his body, obviously he had some treasure protecting him.
"Great Elder Xiao Yao seems to be angry out of shame? Then why don't you tell me what's going on! Do you only know how to use your saintly cultivation to bully the weak?"
Every word of Qin Haoran's voice was harsh, making Xiao Yao even angrier.
"Then may I ask why your reinforcements have not arrived yet? Where is the royal saint? What is your crime?"
Gu Shijiu came to Xiao Yao and asked calmly.
"Humph! How can you question the emperor's decision? The royal saint? The governor of Zhenmo County is the royal saint. You are late and have caused the death of the royal saint. You are simply unforgivable! In addition, from the time we set out to the time we arrived, we fully met the emperor's requirements before leaving. Are you questioning our emperor? You are so bold!"
Qin Haoran continued angrily:
"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. Who gave you the courage to question the emperor? Just because you are a saint, do you think you can disobey the emperor's orders? Let me tell you, although you are saints, you still have relatives, friends, and descendants. Be honest!"
"It's just a dog. It won't bite anyone. Be careful that it will be killed and eaten by its owner!"
As Qin Haoran spoke, his tone became more and more unpleasant, and the saints around him looked at Qin Haoran with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
"Qin Haoran, right? Can you play chess?"
Gu Shijiu suddenly changed the subject.
"I am the Prime Minister appointed by the current Emperor. I am just an evil-slayer, a mere ninth-rank official. When you see me, you should kowtow first and then bow your head and say Prime Minister. People from the countryside don't know etiquette! I can play chess naturally."
Qin Haoran said arrogantly.
"I'm not very good at chess, but I've played against several masters and never lost. Do you know why?"
Gu Nineteen asked with a smile.
"Why?"
Qin Haoran was a little curious and asked.
"Because I can flip the table!"
Gu Shijiu said this with a smile, then reached out and pinched Qin Haoran, who looked a little frightened, into a bloody mist.
