[When you saw that everyone had agreed to it, you were also very satisfied. However, Yan Chixia did not say anything at the side, which puzzled you.

[After leading everyone away, you walked to Yan Chixia’s side and said to him, “Hero Yan, you did not speak just now. Do you have any doubts?”

[Yan Chixia’s eyes were slightly dazed when he heard your question. He sized you up carefully before opening her mouth and said, “The Centipede Spirit you are talking about is the protector of the country, right?”

[When he said this, he surprised you a little. You would never have thought that the Yan Chixia of this world would actually know that the eminent monk was about the Centipede Spirit.

[After that, you finally understood why Yan Chixia was wanted during your conversation.

[When Yan Chixia was the Chief Constable of the Hexa-Gate Organization, at that time, because the country’s fate had just declined and natural and man-made disasters continued, the Hexa-Gate Organization naturally began to investigate the cause of the matter.

[After many investigations, Yan Chixia confirmed that the Ming dynasty had fallen into such a predicament ‘s protectorbecause of the country’s protector.

[But because the protector of the country had the merit of following the emperor, and he was the emperor’s master, Yan Chixia had no way at all.

[Therefore, for the sake of the Ming dynasty, Yan Chixia held a longsword in his hand on a rainy night and killed his way into the Great Prime Minister Temple, where the Centipede Spirit lived.

[The outcome was very tragic. Although Yan Chixia had killed many lesser demons, he fought against the Centipede Spirit in the end. However, his cultivation was not enough, and the Centipede Spirit almost killed him.

[Although Yan Chixia managed to escape in the end, he was also wanted by the whole country for the crime of trying to assassinate the country’s protector and treason.

[The poor loyal minister of the Ming dynasty was indeed convicted of treason in the end.

[However, Yan Chixia was still hot-blooded. He did not inform those experts about this matter. Instead, he chose to work with you to deal with the country’s protector.]

…

[On the 67th day, you had the Eldest Princess revoke the arrest warrant on Yan Chixia. You successfully attracted the attention of the Centipede Spirit. After that, under the Centipede Spirit’s investigation, he found out about you attracting Daoists and Buddhists.

[In the Great Prime Minister Temple, the little emperor was currently sitting cross-legged in front of the golden Buddha in the great hall, seemingly meditating very seriously.

[However, once one got close, they would discover that there was a huge gash on the little emperor’s back. He had long died, and all flesh and blood in his body had been eaten clean, leaving only a skin bag. Usually, lesser demons would enter this skin bag to pretend to be the emperor.

[Beside the little emperor, a kind-looking old monk was reciting scriptures with his eyes closed. Wisps of misty bright Dragon Qi were sucked into the old monk’s body in a breath.

[Two human figures instantly appeared beside the old monk. Their bodies turned from illusory to real.

[The two lesser demons that were sent to investigate said, “Reporting to the Abbot, the Eldest Princess has urgently summoned many Daoists and Buddhists, and they are all gathered in the Juxian Manor. Yan Chixia is also among them. I think that the Eldest Princess already knows our identities.”

[The Centipede Spirit ignored the two lesser demons and continued to silently recite the scriptures.

[After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Centipede Spirit gently sighed.

[A stream of blood-red gas transformed into the shape of a dragon and crazily devoured the Dragon Qi that was floating around.

[Vaguely, one could hear the roar of an angry dragon exploding in the sky.

“Ah, it’s so delicious…”

The blood-red dragon had a good meal and entered the Centipede Spirit’s mouth. The Centipede Spirit’s expression became much better.

[Then, the Centipede Spirit opened his mouth and said, “Although the Daoists and Buddhists who came here have decent cultivation bases, it’s impossible for them to deal with this Abbot.

“However, I’ve only absorbed less than one layer of Dragon Qi, so I can’t reveal my identity too early. I didn’t expect the Ming dynasty’s Dragon Qi to be so prosperous. I’m afraid that I’ll need dozens of years to refine it before I can absorb it.”

[The two lesser demons were instantly overjoyed after listening to the Centipede Spirit. They were scared out of their wits when they saw those Daoists and Buddhists. Either one of them had quite a high cultivation level.

[A lesser demon stepped forward and asked for instructions, “Abbot, then we are…”

[The Centipede Spirit said calmly, “The capital is an important place. Naturally, large-scale battles are not allowed. Therefore, the emperor issued an imperial edict stating that a large number of experts from the Buddhist and Daoist sects have infiltrated the capital with ill intentions. He ordered the 200,000 soldiers stationed in the capital to encircle and annihilate them.”

[A lesser demon said in puzzlement, “But, Abbot, those people have profound cultivation. We are afraid that ordinary people will not be able to harm them at all.”

[Ordinary mortals, even if they had 200,000 soldiers, would not be able to pose any threat to the other party.

“Stupid…” The Centipede Spirit’s eyes instantly widened, and the lesser demon who had spoken turned into thick water under his gaze.

[The other lesser demon hurriedly knelt down.

“Those who pursue the Dao and Buddhism are afraid of karma. They would never dare to reap the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. As long as we force them out of the capital, I will personally handle the rest.”

[The lesser demon came to a sudden realization. The respect he had for the Abbot was like the waves of the river. It was out of control.]

…

[On the 68th day, this day, a wave of great shock overwhelmed the entire capital. The emperor, who had devoted himself to pursuing Buddhism for many years, actually appeared in the imperial court on that day and angrily announced a shocking piece of news.

[The Eldest Princess had joined forces with the Buddhist and Daoist sects to assassinate the current emperor and replace him.

[For a time, the entire capital fell into a very strange state. The fight for the emperor’s position was often the cruelest.

[Because of the sudden incident, the Eldest Princess quickly fell into a passive position. Not only was she captured on the spot in the imperial court, but even her subordinates were reported by their usual opponents. All of them were then thrown into prison by the emperor.

[You already knew what transpired in the imperial court when it just happened. Your scientific research team was very powerful. At this time, they had already developed the earliest telephone, which was the mouthpiece.

[After learning that the Eldest Princess was captured, you did not act rashly. Although the Eldest Princess had many subordinates, they were all civil servants. Ever since you joined and earned a large amount of money to clear the way, you had only managed to rope in a few random generals. This kind of thing was very difficult to put to use.

[You did not expect that the Centipede Spirit did not directly rush over. Instead, he used a strategy.

[Even demons could use a strategy. It was simply unreasonable.

[Fortunately, you had already made sufficient preparations. There were over 1,000 soldiers gathered in the Eldest Princess’ mansion, all of them equipped with the latest double-barreled shotguns.

[You hurriedly led the soldiers to the Juxian Manor near the Eldest Princess’ mansion.

[Your eyes were slightly glimmering. Today was the day to send that Centipede Spirit to its death.]
