Yongzhou.

Martial General Mountain, Xiping Temple.

Under Chen Tang's sincere plea, Lu Qing reluctantly went down the mountain, her face puffed up in anger.

Chen Tang let out a sigh of relief.

No wonder Master Le Kong had looked at him with a hint of concern before.

Fortunately, he was alert enough to notice something was amiss and quickly sent Lu Qing away.

Chen Tang returned to the main hall of Xiping Temple, a trace of doubt rising in his heart.

What exactly is the relationship between Emperor Wu and the Evil Emperor?

According to what Master Le Kong said, the two should have a good relationship.

Otherwise, Emperor Wu would not have given the Youthful Appearance Pill, a treasure, to the Evil Emperor.

Youth fades easily, beauty ages swiftly.

The Youthful Appearance Pill is immensely attractive to many people!

Consider Ghost Mother Meng Qi, who, in order to maintain eternal youth, even resorted to the evil technique of harvesting the Purple River Car from women alive.

Yet, after Emperor Wu's downfall, there was no news of the Evil Emperor.

It wasn't until Emperor Wu's death that the Evil Emperor instructed Feng Xu to enter the capital and smuggle out the son of Emperor Wu, essentially protecting his lineage.

One would think the Evil Emperor would treat Emperor Wu's son well.

But that wasn't the case.

Qin Xi's entire arm was severed by the Evil Emperor.

Moreover, after Qin Xi was taken away, the Evil Emperor seemed utterly unconcerned.

Strangely enough, the Evil Emperor seems unable to see others doing well.

He and Lu Qing went through life and death and managed to escape.

The Evil Emperor, with no evidence, simply on suspicion, wanted to kill him!

How unjust is it for Chen Tang.

He and Lu Qing were entirely innocent.

Chen Tang thought and thought but found no clue.

"Maniac!"

Chen Tang murmured.

This seemed to be the only explanation.

Chen Tang was about to lie down to sleep, but saw Master Le Kong, who had been sitting in front of the Buddha hall, suddenly turn around, open his eyes, his white eyebrows fluttering, as he gazed at the courtyard outside.

Chen Tang instinctively looked over and was startled!

He saw a woman in purple standing in the temple courtyard, hands behind her back, expressionless, just looking up at the bright moon in the sky, without saying a word.

The lunatic is here!

Chen Tang almost blurted out.

Could she be here for me?

Thud!

Master Le Kong lightly tapped the wooden fish in his hand, and softly said, "Donor Lu, you came a bit early this year."

What does that mean?

Does the Evil Emperor come every year?

Why comes?

Chen Tang pondered.

Only after hearing the wooden fish sound did the Evil Emperor slowly withdraw his gaze and said, "This time I've come to see you, I need something from you."

"What is it?"

Master Le Kong asked.

"Monk, don't play dumb with me!"

The Evil Emperor scolded lightly: "The Vajra Relic is with you!"

Master Le Kong looked troubled and said, "The Vajra Relic is a sacred Buddhist object, truly inconvenient to hand over to Donor Lu."

"What sacred Buddhist object, do you really think I don't know?"

The Evil Emperor sneered coldly: "The Vajra Relic is an Outer Realm item; back then, a high monk from India visited the Divine Land, defeating all the Buddhist masters without a match!"

"He was the one who defeated that Indian high monk, wrested the Vajra Relic, and safeguarded it. Later, it was handed over to you."

Inside the main hall, Chen Tang was astounded by what he overheard in their conversation!

He could understand the Vajra Relic.

But what is this Outer Realm about?

Who is this 'he' the Evil Emperor mentioned?

Could it be Emperor Wu?

Master Le Kong nodded slightly and said, "Donor Lu is indeed correct, but the Vajra Relic contains the essence of Buddhist teachings, indeed deriving from the Buddhist sect."

"Are you not giving it?"

The Evil Emperor's gaze grew impatient, his eyes cold.

His stance suggested he was ready to take it by force.

"Amitabha."

Master Le Kong softly chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "Donor Lu, please calm your anger. May I ask why you seek the Vajra Relic?"

"What is it to you!"

The moment the three words fell, the Evil Emperor suddenly vanished from Chen Tang's sight.

When he reappeared, he was already in the main hall, opposite Master Le Kong!

Too fast!

Such speed of body technique completely surpassed Chen Tang's reaction.

Even if he entered the One Breath Divine Illumination state, he couldn't grasp the Evil Emperor's movement.

The Evil Emperor suddenly extended his hand, reaching for Master Le Kong's face, showing no mercy in his attack.

Master Le Kong merely raised his hand and clenched his fist.

Bang!

A gleam of golden light flashed on Master Le Kong's fist, pounding onto the Evil Emperor's palm with a muffled sound.

Both of them shook from head to toe.

Chen Tang was secretly alarmed.

Earlier, he was worried for Master Le Kong.

After all, the one opposite was the grandmaster of one of the Nine Great Sects, the Evil Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Master Le Kong could withstand a strike from the Evil Emperor!

Could it be the Evil Emperor is holding back?

Chen Tang backed a few steps into the corner of the hall, cautious of being hurt by the aftermath of their confrontation.

Under Chen Tang's watchful eyes, the duel was extremely peculiar.

The Evil Emperor's moves were as fast as lightning, so fast that his techniques were entirely indiscernible.

Every move Master Le Kong made was incredibly slow, allowing Chen Tang to see every detail clearly.

Master Le Kong acted calmly yet was just able to intercept the Evil Emperor's moves!

One extremely fast.

One extremely slow.

The contrasting visual display soon made Chen Tang feel dizzy and nauseous if watched for too long.

He instantly entered the One Breath Divine Illumination state, quickly dispelling the discomfort.

Chen Tang promptly exited the Divine Illumination state to continue watching the battle.

Their initial moves appeared just probes.

However, at this moment, the Evil Emperor seemed to have been enraged, the chilling aura emerged once more.

In the blink of an eye, the entire large hall seemed to fall into an ice cellar, with a vague layer of frost appearing!

Thud!

Master Le Kong gently tapped the wooden fish, producing a crisp sound.

The sound reverberated, and the surrounding air rippled like a water surface, spreading outward.

The newly formed frost quickly fell off!

"Humph!"

The Evil Emperor snorted coldly, saying, "Bald donkey, at such an old age, let's see how long you can keep this up!"

"Profound Nether Vastness!"

The Evil Emperor exclaimed in a hushed tone.

The next moment, a tremendously chilling aura descended from the sky, seemingly arising from the ends of the mysterious sky, vast, all-encompassing, and omniscient!

"Why must Donor Lu press the matter?"

Master Le Kong frowned deeply.

He initially assumed the Evil Emperor had merely erupted in a fit of anger, wanting to have a bout.

Unexpectedly, the Evil Emperor used this technique infused with his true martial arts intent!

This move embodied the Evil Emperor's full martial arts mysteries.

Already achieving the "essence" level.

More importantly, reaching Evil Emperor's level, with spirit and energy, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Essence Qi spirit fused, constructing the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, All-Pervading, with inner and outer worlds resonating together, attaining Unity of Heaven and Man state.

This is the realm of mastery.

The grandmaster of transformation realm can fuse will, intent, and essence, borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, transforming into reality.

This genuine intent that utilizes the Power of Heaven and Earth is more terrifying and powerful than any True Qi!

Master Le Kong's expression turned solemn, with a point of golden light emerging between his eyebrows, slowly holding up the wooden fish in his hands, softly chanting: "Buddha's Radiant Light!"
