As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room briefly exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.

"Exactly, those bald monks from Zen Spirit Temple are either watching from the sidelines or exploiting the situation. I've had enough of them."

"You, you've reached the Postnatal Seventh Layer of cultivation. Why don't you give that Kong Xuan a slap when he's babbling on?"

"And they want us to help block the online media? They've got some nerve!"

"Pah!!"

Everyone present was indignant.

For the peace and tranquility of Chang City, the Spirit Suppression Bureau worked tirelessly, but as Night Watchers, the public would never know of their existence!

In contrast, the Zen Spirit Temple.

They did nothing but aggressively gather incense believers.

Not only did they earn all the fame and wealth, but when asked to help subdue demons, they would demand outrageous conditions!

Were it not for the inconvenience of openly clashing with the Buddhist Sect.

They sometimes even wished to lay down their fight against demons and deal with these deceitful baldies first!!

This shows how the members of the Spirit Suppression Bureau had long been suffering because of the Zen Spirit Temple.

Now, hearing the Guardian's slightly teasing words, everyone present naturally felt indignant and echoed in agreement.

Zhou Ming hadn't expected that even the Guardian, who usually had a big-picture mindset, would suddenly express such a candid thought.

He suppressed his laughter, nodding repeatedly, "Alright, given the chance, let's give those guys a couple of silent thumps!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

...

...

On the other side, Kong Xuan hurriedly rushed back to Zen Spirit Temple.

Abbot Fa Ling was inside the main hall giving a sermon. Seeing Kong Xuan return, he immediately put down his scripture and asked calmly:

"Have you settled things with the Spirit Suppression Bureau?"

All the monks then turned expectant glances towards Kong Xuan.

After some fermentation, the deeds of the Daoist had spread completely among the temple's believers.

Many were curious, saying they wanted to go see the situation at Qingfeng Temple.

This was detrimental to Zen Spirit Temple.

It made some monks feel anxious.

Kong Xuan took a slight breath, faced with the Abbot's question, his expression turned slightly ugly, and he shook his head:

"Disciple was incompetent and got rejected."

What?

With these words, all the monks present showed a look of surprise.

Abbot Fa Ling also raised an eyebrow, looking surprised, "They didn't agree?"

According to the temple's information, the issue over at the crematorium was extremely serious.

The danger level was even greater than the Evil Spirit City God in the East Suburb!

If requesting to build eighty-one temples was too broad and the Spirit Suppression Bureau was unwilling, that was one thing.

But now it was merely asking the Spirit Suppression Bureau to use some of their official power to block a video in the secular network.

For the Spirit Suppression Bureau, shouldn't this be a breeze and something they would readily agree to?

"What exactly happened?"

Seeing Kong Xuan's troubled expression, Fa Ling couldn't help but question sternly.

Kong Xuan hurriedly bowed, displaying a complex expression, and said:

"Abbot, we were too late; the crematorium issue has already been resolved by someone else!"

Hearing this, Fa Ling was taken aback; nearby, Kong Xing even stood up directly, saying:

"Wasn't it said that the things inside were extremely dangerous? Lu Guoshuang from the Spirit Suppression Bureau was too busy, and our Abbot Master didn't step in, who else could have handled it?"

Not only was he puzzled, but the other monks present also couldn't understand.

Only Kong Wen, his eyes slightly suspicious, said, "Could it have been that Daoist?"

Kong Xuan nodded solemnly, "Exactly!"

"Hiss..."

Kong Xuan's confirmation instantly caused the Buddhist Hall to erupt with a sound of gasping in surprise.

Fa Ling furrowed his brow even tighter, his eyes narrowing into slits.

Kong Xuan sighed and continued, "When disciple went, I didn't encounter the Daoist, but only met Zhou Ming who was about to return to report."

"The disciple followed your instructions and explained the situation to Zhou Ming."

"Yet who would have thought...who would have thought..."

Kong Xuan clenched his fist, his tone carrying a hint of anger, "Who would have thought Zhou Ming would get furious and refuse outright, and even some of the people with him vaguely seemed intent on acting against this poor monk!"

"Master, from the look of it, their Spirit Suppression Bureau has clearly become friendly with that Daoist..." Kong Xuan was full of worry.

All the monks present exchanged glances, each frowning.

Beside him, Kong Wen said with an unsightly expression, "That Daoist's strength was already terrifying; if the Spirit Suppression Bureau also befriends him, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will truly shake Zen Spirit Temple's position!"

This was no alarmist talk.

Although Zen Spirit Temple looked down on the Spirit Suppression Bureau, no matter what, the latter still belonged to the Empire.

And the rapid expansion of the Buddhist Sect in recent years had already aroused the Empire's vigilance.

At this time, the Spirit Suppression Bureau and the Daoist had come together.

No one could guarantee what the next situation would be...

"Abbot, we cannot sit back and do nothing!"

"The Daoist has already begun to create influence among the young people in Chang City. If we let his videos of eliminating demons and devils continue to spread, it might affect our Zen Spirit Temple's incense."

"It might even destabilize the entire Buddhist Sect!"

High monks in the hall spoke one after another, their tones filled with worry.

Fa Ling was silent, seemingly contemplating a countermeasure.

Hot-tempered Kong Xing couldn't help but directly suggest, "Abbot, why not find an opportunity to eliminate that Daoist, only then will we eradicate future troubles!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished, Kong Wen beside him shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

"I've seen that Daoist in action, and his strength is extremely terrifying. Although Master's cultivation is refined, wanting to eliminate him, who knows..."

Kong Xuan said this and felt the atmosphere was a bit off, so he hurriedly added, "Of course, Master, with your Little Ming King Skill at Great Success, if there were a fight, that Daoist probably wouldn't be your match."

"It's just that our Buddhist Sect is ultimately the Righteous Dao; if we could discreetly eliminate the Daoist, it would be great."

"But if it becomes known to everyone, it might harm our Buddhist Sect's reputation..."

"What's more, even though the Five Great Daoist Sacred Lands have sealed themselves away, they haven't disappeared."

"Conflicts between Buddhism and Daoism in secret are one thing, but openly eliminating someone, if it angers the Daoist Sacred Lands..."

Kong Wen did not continue, as there was no need to say more.

Over the years, it was true that Buddhism suppressed Daoism, but as long as the Five Great Sacred Lands were around, Buddhism could never go too far!

This was the rule they upheld from top to bottom!

After all, no matter how fallen Daoism became, it still traversed the history of the Dragon Country.

Its heritage is deep.

Even to this day, Buddhism is reluctant to tear their relationship apart.

"This won't work, that won't work, are we just going to watch Qingfeng Temple's fame rise?"

"If the Daoist's reputation is truly reborn from the ashes, I'm afraid the Upper Buddhism Sect will also punish our Zen Spirit Temple..."

Kong Xing said anxiously.

All the monks present exchanged glances, each showing a worried expression.

At that moment, Abbot Fa Ling, who had been silent, suddenly stood up.

He spoke calmly and softly.

"Immediately arrange for a reporter to make a statement that today, I will go out to eliminate evil and suppress demons for the people!"

"Let them broadcast it live the whole time!"
