Wuji Kingdom Palace, Morning Meeting Hall!
Inside the palace’s main hall.
On the golden Dragon Throne.
The Qingmao Lion Giant sat upright, gazing at the ministers below, as if he was inspecting a group of ants.
Indeed, it was just like that.
Since becoming the king of Wuji Kingdom, as a demon, he naturally would not serve ministers or care for the people; all he needed to do was complete the task assigned to him by his master.
“Declare your issues, or leave the court!” A eunuch called out in a rising and falling tone.
Below.
The ministers remained silent, their eyes fixed and their hearts focused.
The reason for this was that those who did not remain silent had been killed by the Lion Boar Monster. He was here to steal Wuji Kingdom’s national luck, not to help it develop.
Just when everyone thought this court meeting would be like the previous ones…
Suddenly.
Space inside the main hall fluctuated slightly.
Two streaks of golden light, moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye, arrived in the main hall and eventually transformed into two figures.
Without a doubt, these two figures were Daoist Xuanqing, who had rushed from Baolin Temple, and the true king of Wuji Kingdom.
???
This sudden scene.
Left all the ministers dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, their pupils suddenly constricting as they looked at the two sudden appearances in the main hall.
Especially since… one of the figures was wearing the Dragon Robe, and… looked so similar to their Majesty, it was indistinguishable!
Indistinguishable?
How could there be two Majesties in this world?
“This…”
Using their peripheral vision, the ministers looked at the Majesty on the high platform and then at the Majesty who suddenly appeared.
Atop the high platform.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Lion Boar Monster.
Gulp-
It stared at the figures in the main hall, swallowing painfully, the thick fear in its eyes almost overflowing.
Of course.
What it was afraid of was not the real King of Wuji, but the Taoist in the Daoist Robe, stepping with his gait, holding a faintly glowing duster in his hand.
“It’s… it’s the slayer of Buddhism… Daoist Xuanqing!”
The Lion Boar Monster’s face was bitter, his legs trembling. This slayer was no pushover; it felt that it was doomed today. Even if a Bodhisattva came, it probably wouldn’t be able to save it.
It’s worth mentioning.
Xuanqing’s current reputation was well-known throughout the Three Realms.
Cultivators who did not know the inside story might just sigh, “Daoist
Xuanqing is really wealthy.”
But among his peers, it was a completely different story.
Clashing with Guanyin face-to-face!
Beheading Guanyin’s incarnation!
Beheading the Yellow Wind Monster!
The subsequent death of Mo Ke Jiedi and the fact that even Venerable Fuhu could not escape their fate.
These were unprecedented events since the ancient wars.
Fortunately, the incident of Xuanqing forcing Guanyin to self-destruct her magic treasure not long ago hasn’t been revealed yet, otherwise, this Lion Boar Monster would have been scared to death-
in the main hall.
Xuanqing showed no emotion and said to the King of Wuji beside him, “Your Majesty, this demon is the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva of Buddhism, known as the Lion Boar Monster!”
“Its purpose for coming to your Wuji Kingdom is simple: to steal the nation’s luck, slander Buddhism, and seize the luck of Heaven and Earth for its own use!”
As soon as he said this.
The King of Wuji trembled, his eyes filled with visible bloodshot rage.
“Hoo~”
As the ruler of a country, no matter how angry he was, he quickly calmed down after taking a deep breath, and analyzed and judged the current situation.
He didn’t know how true the Daoist’s words were.
But one thing he could be sure of was that the person who was sitting on his throne, using his appearance was definitely his enemy.
“Daoist Priest, what price I must pay for you to take action and kill this impostor who is trying to seize my kingdom…?” The king asked, pausing between each word.
As soon as he said this.
“Hehe.” Xuanqing chuckled and said lightly, “No substantial price. Just renounce… Buddhism!”
As soon as he said this.
Boom-
A great tumult stirred the hearts of the officials inside the main hall.
Naturally, everyone had climbed their way to their current positions through cunning means, and from the dialogue between them and the two identical emperors, combined with… the sudden change in the king’s temperament not long ago, it wasn’t hard to guess the one sitting on the Dragon Throne… might be an impostor taking the place of the crown prince.
On this side.
After hearing the Daoist’s words beside him, the King of Wuji didn’t hesitate. “Venerable Daoist, please kill this demon, and after I take back my territory, I will definitely… declare Buddhism as a heretical sect.”
After saying this, he paused slightly…
“And… the entire Wuji Kingdom will regard Taoism as the state religion, and from now on, the Tao will be respected!” The King of Wuji said softly.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing raised his eyebrows, looking highly at the King of Wuji.
To be honest,
He had come here to kill the Lion Boar Monster just to spite Guanyin, and whether the Wuji Kingdom would be held accountable by Buddhism afterwards was not within his considerations.
But now, if this King of Wuji could promote Taoism nationwide after the fact, even if he didn’t personally protect Wuji, there would be gods from Heavenly Court Taoism to protect him.
At that time… Buddhism really wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, at least on the surface, things like taking over the throne and stealing the National Luck would definitely not dare to be done.
At this moment,
The entire main hall was deathly silent.
Only the Lion Boar Monster on the high platform, watching Xuanqing and the
King of Wuji discussing how to kill itself as if no one was around, was both terrified and angry.
With a hardened heart, knowing that death was inevitable either way,
The Lion Boar Monster gritted its teeth and pointed at Xuanqing, scolding angrily:
“Come here!”
“Drag this evil Daoist down and behead him, along with the impostor pretending to be me!”
Upon these words,
Two armored guards actually came out from outside the Morning Meeting Hall and walked towards Xuanqing.
After all, no matter how bizarre the situation was, at least for now, the Lion Boar Monster slumped on the Dragon Throne was the king of their Wuji Kingdom.
Seeing this scene,
“Daoist Priest…” The King of Wuji was a little flustered and hurriedly called.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry!”
Xuanqing sneered.
With no noticeable big movement, his duster only slightly waved, turning into a long rope, shooting towards the Lion Boar Monster on the high platform.
Swish-
Without any strength to resist,
The rope, transformed from the duster’s tail, instantly restrained the Lion Boar Monster, and with a slight pull, it brought it flying upside down.
“Ah-”
The Lion Boar Monster screamed as its body uncontrollably flew below the main hall, eventually rolling to the feet of the King of Wuji.
This sudden scene.
Scared the two unsuspecting guards, their faces changed drastically, and they shouted:
“Protect the king, quickly, come here to protect the king!”
The loud voices attracted the guards patrolling outside, and they all poured into the main hall.
But seeing the two kings in the hall, one bound by a rope on the ground and the other standing next to a Daoist Priest,
For a moment,
They were puzzled.
Protect the king… Uh… Whose king should they protect?
“Outrageous, do you all not even recognize me? Strip him down!” The King of
Wuji screamed in anger, emitting the aura of a king.
The guards all trembled.
The Lion Boar Monster tied to the ground writhed like a maggot, stammering:
“I., am., the King of Wuji..!”
“Ah-”
Before the words could be finished, the duster that bound its body suddenly tightened, and a huge pressure overcame it, causing an involuntary scream of pain.
“Wretched beast, quickly reveal your true form.”
Roar-
In the shocked gaze of everyone.
The body of the trapped Lion Boar Monster on the ground twisted and grew, finally turning into a large lion with a green face and sharp teeth.
“Demon… there’s a demon!”
The officials in the court were terrified and trembled, constantly retreating to the corners of the main hall, looking fearfully at the Lion Boar Monster in the middle.
At this moment,
Only then did their hearts completely believe that for so long, their emperor had actually turned into this lion demon. No wonder they said his temperament had changed greatly.
“Do not fear, my loyal subjects.. Under the protection of a great expert, in the future, there will no longer be any demons who dare terrorize the Wuji Kingdom!”
