"Fellow Daoist Lu Ye! Fellow Daoist Lu Ye!"
Calls echoed.
Lu Ye glanced at him but did not stop his steps.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, our Mingfo Temple knows we have offended you, but the person who made the decision was the previous abbot, Fa Hui. Now we have captured Fa Hui and are waiting for Fellow Daoist Lu Ye to come and review!"
"Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, our Mingfo Temple is willing to use the ~NΠΎvΠ΅lπght~ full strength of the temple to compensate you for your losses. As long as our Mingfo Temple has it, feel free to ask, and we will definitely satisfy you!"
"Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, please stop quickly. This poor monk can represent the entire Mingfo Temple. As long as we don't resort to arms again, our Mingfo Temple is willing to agree to anything!"
Lu Ye ignored this fellow.
He continued to approach the Mingfo Temple.
At this moment, within the Mingfo Temple, all the monks were dripping with cold sweat, their emotions extremely tense.
Now was the moment of life and death.
Fa Hui had already been brought out.
At this time, Fa Hui had already figured things out, his hands clasped together, silent.
One wrong step, every step wrong.
He had no way back.
It was just death, that's all.
"Abbot, he completely ignores us, what should we do?"
The monks were all full of tension, some with sweat already covering their foreheads.
The judgment they had waited eighty years for had finally arrived at this moment, and they couldn't help but be nervous.
Faming's expression was also extremely solemn.
"Amitabha, do not panic!"
"Abbot, should we contact the upper realm again now?"
"Do not panic!"
"Abbot, I see he came alone. How about we make a move? I don't think he has any intention of letting us go!"
"Shut up!"
Faming roared.
"Do nothing, just wait here. We have already shown our full sincerity. If he insists on killing, then we will just die, that's all. But if there is even a shred of hope for survival, we cannot make a move again!"
"Wait, all of you wait for me, listen to my command!"
Faming was under a lot of pressure now, he didn't want to die!
He just wanted to live!
What was his mistake?
It was clearly all Fa Hui's fault. He had never approved of making a move against Lu Ye, because Lu Ye had clearly been revealed to be a Celestial Venerable.
If Lu Ye was a Great Emperor, then making a move would be acceptable.
But that was a Celestial Venerable!
Great Emperors were already astonishing through the ages, but Celestial Venerables were existences that even Great Emperors could only look up to, unattainable. Could they provoke them?
Unfortunately, they had provoked him!
And not lightly!
Lu Ye ascended from the First Heaven, layer by layer. Other forces were only killed completely by Lu Ye simply because they pursued him, and did not cause any actual loss to Lu Ye.
Now, the Mingfo Temple was the first force to lay hands on Lu Ye's close ones and even kill them.
Under such circumstances, would Lu Ye really let them go?
Difficult!
Very difficult!
But even if there was still a glimmer of hope, he was unwilling to give up.
Lu Ye's massive body appeared.
The Dharma Heaven and Earth, carrying an extremely terrifying oppressive feeling, even made the monks of the Mingfo Temple hold their breath.
"Amitabha, Benefactor Lu Ye!"
Faming shouted a Buddhist chant.
Lu Ye's figure stopped. At this moment, he even had to lower his head to look at the Mingfo Temple on top of these eighty-one giant stars.
"Speak!"
Lu Ye was concise.
"This is my Senior Brother, the previous abbot of Mingfo Temple, Fa Hui. I believe you have an impression of him. It was he who advocated making a move against you at that time, and the unfortunate victims of the Heavenly Gate were also killed by him. This poor monk hands him over to you for disposal, I wonder if that is acceptable?"
Lu Ye stared at Fa Hui.
It was indeed the person who released the mental technique.
However...
"No."
Faming took a deep breath.
"This is all the treasures accumulated by our Mingfo Temple over seventeen thousand years, with Limitless value. Although it cannot compare to the Endless Secret Treasure, the total value will not be less than one billion Spirit Stones. Now we offer them up, only seeking a way for the numerous monks of Mingfo Temple to survive. Is this acceptable?"
"No."
Faming...
He was silent for a few seconds.
"These are treasures passed down from the Sixth Heaven, all of which are excellent quality, with a value no less than the price of one hundred thousand Origin Stones. The Bodhisattva of the Sixth Heaven has also profoundly expressed their apology to the Benefactor. Is this acceptable?"
Faming was very nervous.
This was already the final price.
If Lu Ye still said no, what else could they do?
Could they only wait for death?
Or fight to the death?
Lu Ye's emotions didn't fluctuate much, and he spoke two more words.
"No."
Instantly, a large number of monks in the Mingfo Temple turned pale.
Still no?
Was he truly going to exterminate them all?
Faming took a deep breath, steadying his slightly trembling body.
"How can it be acceptable? As long as the Benefactor makes it clear, the Mingfo Temple will definitely do its best to meet the Benefactor's requirements!"
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and had an answer.
"Hand over all the treasures."
Faming didn't hesitate at all and quickly flew the treasures over.
Lu Ye took the two strings of Buddhist beads, which were storage treasures.
"Send Fa Hui out!"
The bound Fa Hui flew towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye, of course, wouldn't waste words. A sword light flew out, and the Stone Sword returned stained with blood.
The Human Emperor Banner smoothly collected the soul.
The anger in Lu Ye's heart probably subsided a little.
He looked at the Mingfo Temple.
"I'll give you a chance to live."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Mingfo Temple was overjoyed.
"Three punches!"
"I'll give you fifteen minutes. During these fifteen minutes, you can set up great arrays or find external help as you wish, but you cannot leave the scope of the Mingfo Temple. You only need to withstand my three punches, and I will spare you!"
Lu Ye said calmly.
This request was very low.
The Mingfo Temple could even use array formations, they only needed to withstand Lu Ye's three punches.
There was a chance!
Lu Ye was finally showing mercy, this was great!
"Good, thank you, Benefactor. The Mingfo Temple will remember your mercy today."
Lu Ye smiled lightly.
He wasn't showing mercy.
It was purely because he wanted to test the results of his secluded cultivation and see how strong his current attack was.
Next, the walls of the Mingfo Temple became frantically busy, up and down.
One great array after another was activated.
All were protective array formations.
The eighty-one worlds below emitted a large amount of golden light, converging towards the Mingfo Temple. That was the power of faith.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
The Mingfo Temple had disappeared from sight, only a golden sphere of light remained, so thick that the temple inside was completely invisible.
Lu Ye raised his fist!
The Celestial Silkworm Nine Transformations activated!
At this moment, countless stars dimmed by three points.
Massive amounts of True Essence roared, attracting the vast and profound power of Heaven and Earth and the power of the stars.
A strong wind swept through the starry sky.
First punch!
"Boom!"
The giant fist heavily smashed onto the golden light mass, and the eighty-one stars below directly collapsed.
But the golden light mass only trembled for a moment and did not shatter.
The people of the Mingfo Temple breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lu Ye's arms suddenly thickened, and a terrifying fist intent flowed over his fists.
The second punch slammed out fiercely.
"Boom!"
The huge roar echoed across countless star fields.
The golden sphere of light suddenly dimmed by a section.
Immediately after, the third punch.
Lu Ye roared.
"Celestial Venerable Fist!"
