No one expected!

In Xue Yundao, Sha Wujin, Golden Tomb, the three Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm experts, when they charged towards the young monk, it was already the moment of life and death for the Buddhist Shaolin Sacred Land. A beam of Buddha Light descended, accompanied by the words "Amitabha Buddha." All martial artists who invaded Shaolin were swept out of the mountain range of Buddhist Shaolin without the slightest ability to resist. It was truly astonishing.

Just a single beam of Buddha Light was enough to sweep away hundreds of martial arts experts. Especially formidable ones like Xue Yundao, Sha Wujin, and Golden Tomb, who could traverse the three Ancient Martial Worlds with impunity, were knocked away without the slightest ability to resist. This miraculous power left everyone in shock, completely unable to believe it!

At this moment, outside the Buddhist Shaolin Mountain Range, the three of Xue Yundao were frowning as they looked at the Shaolin Mountain Range ahead, shaking with anger. They were on the verge of succeeding in eliminating the Buddhist Shaolin Sacred Land, after which they could share some of Shaolin's inheritance, which would yield endless benefits. Who would have thought an extraordinary demon-like young monk would appear halfway, and now this Buddha Light had also emerged, sweeping them out without any resistance? The entire Buddhist Shaolin Mountain Range was now shrouded in a beam of Buddha Light. This Buddha Light, though not intensely murderous or overwhelmingly domineering, exuded an inviolable majesty, causing several hundred martial arts experts to hesitate and not dare to approach lightly, demonstrating its formidable prowess.

"The Buddhist Sect seems truly unfathomable, beyond desecration by the likes of us. We should leave!"

"Perhaps our thought of waiting for the Buddhist Sect to be eradicated and getting a share of the spoils was mistaken."

"Ancient and mysterious, powerful yet merciful, is this the strength of the Buddhist Sect?"

"In any case, this is not a legacy of karma that can be easily entangled with. It's a heritage that has thrived for millions of years and commands the most faith, not to be underestimated!"

Many martial artists felt the depth of the Buddhist Sect, at least beyond what they could reach. After murmuring a bit or lingering for a while, they left, understanding clearly that with the descent of this Buddha Light, it signified that no one could eradicate the Buddhist Shaolin Sacred Land. No one had the power to do so. This Buddha Light would protect here, and even if a Supreme Strong were to come, it's feared that they might not be able to break through easily.

"Damn it, there's actually such a Buddha Light enveloping us!" Golden Tomb said through gritted teeth.

"It seems our plan to eradicate this Buddhist Sacred Land and divide the rewards has failed. This plan cannot succeed!" Sha Wujin said, somewhat unwillingly.

"The Buddhist Sect's heritage is ancient and mysterious, akin to our Nine Netherworld. Do not underestimate this Buddha Light. Even if we three join forces, we cannot break it. It seems the Buddhist Sect has many backups. To obliterate this heritage requires careful long-term plotting!" said Xue Yundao.

Following that, Xue Yundao and Sha Wujin left. They both knew that, at least for today, it was not possible to eradicate the Buddhist Shaolin Sacred Land, and even if the desire persisted, it would have to wait for a suitable moment in the future. Today, it was absolutely impossible, and they lacked the courage to forcibly launch an attack. Such an act was impossible to achieve and likely to be killed by this Buddha Light. The mystery and might of the Buddhist Sect were truly not something ordinary people could fathom.

Only Golden Tomb, with clenched fists and gritted teeth, looked at the six corpses on the ground, trembling all over. His eyes were almost bleeding with hatred. These were the bodies of his six brothers. Three years ago, they all received orders from their father, Huangjin Xuanyuan, to leave the Jin family in search of and hunt down Ye Tianchen, but they did not find any trace of Ye Tianchen. This time, they were also sent out, in alliance with the Blood Killing Organization and the Nine Netherworld, to take action against Buddhist Shaolin, while also killing anyone associated with Ye Tianchen. Who knew the result would be like this? Except for him, Golden Tomb, all six brothers were dead, adding to the previously deceased Huangjin Qiyun and Huang Jinkuang. Of the ten brothers, now only two are left, just him, Golden Tomb, and Huangjin Wudao. This is an unprecedented disaster for the Jin family and something unforeseen, additionally being the greatest disgrace in the family's history.

In the end, Golden Tomb still did not have the courage and resolve to strike against this Buddha Light. He could only carry his six brothers' bodies and head toward the Jin family. It was already beyond rectification; his carelessness and arrogance led to the death of six brothers!

At this time, in the Buddhist Shaolin Sacred Land, Master Fang Yi and all the Buddhist disciples were devoutly kneeling on the ground, constantly reciting "Amitabha Buddha." They too were clearly not expecting that at such a perilous moment, from the giant Buddha statue in the center hall of Shaolin, such a Buddha Light would emit, protecting the entire Shaolin Mountain Range, sweeping all those invading Buddhist Shaolin out. This power was admirable and astonishing; just a single beam of Buddha Light left hundreds of martial arts experts with no ability to resist, and everyone knew that if this Buddha Light unleashed its full might, those martial arts experts would likely perish instantaneously. It's just that the Buddhist Sect, compassionate to all beings, would not easily resort to slaughter.

"Hey, I say, you little monk, your Buddha has manifested, why aren't you kneeling and chanting Amitabha Buddha?" Tian Boguang asked, looking puzzled and displeased as he saw the little monk beside him standing without kneeling.

"Exactly, even if you are a talented little monk within the Buddhist Sect, you should kneel before your Buddha. Come, Uncle will kneel with you!" said Hu Gao, even more unreliably.

"Alas, I truly regret now, letting you two like-minded fellows meet was indeed not a good idea!" The young monk shook his head and spoke with a speechless expression.

"Huh? Let us meet?"

"It feels like you know both of us, and seem quite familiar with us. Could it be you're..."

The young monk's words made Tian Boguang and Hu Gao, who weren't exactly slow-witted, realize something. They stared at the young monk in surprise, while the young monk, at this moment, had nothing to hide anymore. Slowly, he transformed back to his original appearance, and as he did, Tian Boguang and Hu Gao laughed heartily as they immediately hugged the young monk tightly. Three brothers, one heart!

"Damn it, I say, Brother Tianchen, that's not right. You came back, why did you disguise as a young monk?" Tian Boguang, despite his words of reproach, laughed heartily with joy.

"Exactly, boss, why didn't you show yourself sooner? We were worried sick, thinking you might have died in Flame Valley. I was even ready to go find you..." Hu Gao also chipped in.

"Really? Do you have that kind of guts? Bragging, aren't you?" Ye Tianchen said incredulously, looking at Hu Gao.

"Boss, you're really underestimating me, aren't you? I truly wanted to risk my life to find you in Flame Valley. Am I the kind of person who doesn't care for my brothers? You can ask Brother Tian!" Hu Gao said with a stern expression.

"Yes, indeed, I was about to go find you. Though Hu Gao was planning to look for a beauty, I truly intended to charge into Flame Valley to find you..." Tian Boguang said with a mischievous grin.

Ye Tianchen shook his head; these two guys were truly oddballs. It was impossible to talk sense with them; the conversation always turned unreliable. Unable to communicate further, Ye Tianchen broke free from Tian Boguang and Hu Gao's bear hugs, walked over to Dongfang Meng, Zhang Ruotong, and Tianshuang, and asked concernedly, "Are you all alright?"

"We're fine, it's good that you're back safely!" Dongfang Meng said softly.

"If you hadn't appeared soon, we would all be dead over here." Tianshuang said grumpily.

"Tianchen, have you been cultivating in Flame Valley all these years?" Zhang Ruotong asked with concern.

"Yes, we'll talk more in detail tonight!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Seeing Dongfang Meng, Zhang Ruotong, Tianshuang, Tian Boguang, and Hu Gao all safe, Ye Tianchen felt relieved. He walked up to Master Fang Yi; by now, Master Fang Yi and other Buddhist disciples had stood up. They all paid respects to the enormous Buddha statue at the center of the hall, the highest honor in their hearts. It was the statue of "Buddha," the founder of Buddhist inheritance. At the crucial moment, it emitted a Buddha Light that saved the Buddhist Shaolin Sacred Land from the crisis of extermination.

"Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha is omnipresent, saving Buddhist disciples and delivering all sentient beings. We will always revere him!" Master Fang Yi said devoutly with his hands clasped together.

"Master, it was because of me that the Buddhist sect got involved in trouble, I'm sorry!" Ye Tianchen said seriously, looking at Master Fang Yi.

"Master Ye, no need to blame yourself. Saving sentient beings is also our duty in the Buddhist sect, and since these evil forces attacked the gates of Buddhist inheritance, we have no reason not to resist. All of these are what the Buddhist sect ought to do, naturally!" Master Fang Yi said seriously as well.

"Thank you, Master. I represent all the villagers of Desolate Stone Village in thanking the Buddhist sect!" Ye Tianchen also clasped his hands together and bowed to the giant Buddha statue.

Ye Tianchen was back, and the villagers of Desolate Stone Village also returned to the village at the foot of the Shaolin Mountain Range. After all, the area within Shaolin isn't very large and isn't suitable for so many people to live in. Ye Tianchen was back after more than three years, naturally, he had many things he wanted to discuss with his own people! (To be continued.
