"Explode!!!"

The black-robed man shouted angrily.

The flag spun wildly.

Streams of array light were released.

With a loud bang, the flag exploded.

Endless energy swept out from the exploding flag.

Xia Liu hurriedly waved his hand to defend.

Once the terrifying explosion energy dissipated.

The black-robed man was also gone.

Xia Liu's expression flickered, a trace of regret in his eyes.

"I didn't expect this guy to have become an Array Master."

The Spirit Buddha Sect Master lamented.

"Array Master?"

Xia Liu's eyes shimmered.

From the memories he obtained.

He quickly learned about the existence of Array Masters.

Array Masters form powerful formations using various items.

They activate Heaven and Earth Power to annihilate enemies or defend.

Generally, Array Masters use Primordial Stones as a foundation to set up powerful formations.

They can also quickly condense arrays for attack through Array Flags.

And the Array Flag was the flag that the black-robed man wielded earlier.

It is exclusive to Array Masters, only they can manipulate it.

Some powerful Array Masters can even gather a terrifying formation with a wave of their hand, destroying countless strong enemies.

Truly terrifying to the extreme!!!

However, in this era, Array Masters are extremely rare.

Becoming an Array Master is very difficult.

After all, it requires strong Soul Power to become an Array Master, as well as the guidance of an Array Formation Secret Manual.

Now, there are very few complete Array Formation Secret Manuals remaining.

Moreover, a person's Soul Power cannot simply be made strong by desire.

This results in the rarity of Array Masters.

And even if Array Masters exist, they seldom appear.

Because once they show themselves,

it's possible they might be captured by powerful Hidden Sect families to serve them.

No matter how strong an Array Master is, they cannot resist a family or Sect.

Hence, it is very challenging to encounter an Array Master.

Unless an Array Master reaches a very high Realm, free from family or sect constraints, they might appear.

"Sect Master, how should we handle these people?"

"Why not kill them all!!!"

Xia Liu scanned the seven Buddhist Sect leaders and spoke.

Upon hearing Xia Liu's words, the expressions of these seven people changed.

If it was before, with Xia Liu just a young man saying this.

They would certainly scoff and disregard him.

But now they had witnessed the terrifying power Xia Liu had demonstrated earlier.

Moreover, now the Buddha's Power from the five Golden Buddha Statues suppressed them to the point they couldn't even channel their inner energy.

If Xia Liu wanted to kill them, it would be easy; they couldn't possibly resist.

Thus, their eyes revealed a panicked look, completely devoid of previous strength and arrogance.

"Forget it, let them go."

The Spirit Buddha Sect Master said suddenly.

"Sect Master, we can't let them off!!!"

"Today they teamed up to try to wipe out my Spirit Buddha Sect, how can we just let them go?"

Several Spirit Buddha Sect Elders appeared, covered in blood, and hurriedly spoke to the Sect Master.

"I know, killing them is easy, but their backing forces still have powerful individuals."

"Once they die, not only will my Spirit Buddha Sect face an even greater crisis."

"At that time, the whole Buddhist Lineage will be plunged into chaos."

"Moreover, we who follow the Buddhist Path cannot go on a killing spree."

"Such actions will only hinder our cultivation, too much killing."

"Then karma will arise, making it difficult to reach higher realms."

The Spirit Buddha Sect Master explained.

"Now they know of the Spiritual Child's existence, if they return, perhaps..."

A Spirit Buddha Sect Elder said with worry.

"If they dare to have other ideas, I will personally go to destroy them!!!"

Xia Liu coldly looked at the seven men, releasing terrifying Buddha's Power to suppress them.

"We wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare!!!"

"How could we dare disrespect the Spiritual Child!!!"

The seven hurriedly bowed to Xia Liu.

"Since you don't dare, then disappear from here, come again and I will cleanse you as the Buddha would cleanse such filth!!!"

Xia Liu said coldly.

The seven immediately fled in panic.

Soon, all members of these seven Buddhist Sect forces retreated from the Spirit Buddha Sect.

The entire Spirit Buddha Sect fell silent.

But the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

In this battle, the Spirit Buddha Sect suffered over a hundred casualties.

"Xia Liu, your identity as Spiritual Child has now been leaked."

"It won't be long before major Buddhist forces, including Heavenly-level Buddhist forces, become aware."

"You must leave the Spirit Buddha Sect immediately."

"Seek out the eighteen Buddha's Relics left by the Buddha and restore your strength."

"Once you gather all eighteen relics, you can awaken your Buddha's True Body."

"Then you can truly become the Buddha, safe and sound."

The Spirit Buddha Sect Master looked at Xia Liu and said solemnly.

"I know, but if I leave, the Spirit Buddha Sect..."

Xia Liu spoke with some concern.

"Don't worry, the Spirit Buddha Sect will be fine; you must take care of yourself."

"The Buddha's Relics aren't easy to find; other forces are also covertly searching for them."

"According to what I've learned, several relics have fallen into the hands of few Heavenly-level forces."

"Although they haven't been able to control the relics or obtain the power within."

"But getting these relics from them is extremely challenging too."

The Spirit Buddha Sect Master said.

"Rest assured, I will retrieve all eighteen Buddha's Relics."

"What of the Heavenly-level forces!!!"

Xia Liu snorted coldly, his eyes glowing keenly.

At this moment, the black-robed man who fled from the Spirit Buddha Sect.

He arrived at a location, spitting a mouthful of blood.

"Master, how are you?"

A group of men in black appeared, looking at the black-robed man and asking.

"I didn't expect the Spiritual Child to possess such strength without having obtained the relics."

"Looks like we must find a way to capture him, otherwise when he truly becomes the Buddha."

"No one will be his match."

The black-robed man snorted coldly.

Then they all left.

Meanwhile, the other seven Buddhist Sect leaders returned to their respective forces.

They gathered the strong within their sects to discuss the matter of the Spiritual Child.

The next day—

Xiang City.

In a hotel room.

Sunlight streamed into the room, and Liu Yan lying on the bed fluttered her eyelashes, slowly waking up.

As Liu Yan awoke, a trace of confusion flickered in her eyes.

When she rose to see only her underwear left on her body.

Her face changed instantly.

Soon she recalled in her mind what happened last night when Zhou Yuan drugged her.

For a moment, Liu Yan's expression was pale and unpleasant.
