I learned from Zhuo Lian that the current situation of Shenwu Kingdom is very bad.
If it weren't for the rich foundation of the Shenwu Kingdom and the good leadership of Emperor Xiao, otherwise, it would have been destroyed long ago.
The Central Holy Kingdom, the Poison God Family, the Ten Thousand Tribes of the Southern Continent, the Ancient Loulan Kingdom of the Northern Continent, and many other forces have raised troops to invade the border. If you are not careful in this game of chess, the whole game will be destroyed.
But what really made Lin Bai angry was... the Barbarian Soul Society!
When Lin Bai left the Mangu Continent, he made a deal with them.
After Lin Bai left the Mangu Continent, they had to ensure that the Shenwu Kingdom was safe and sound for at least three years.
Although Lin Bai has indeed come back a year late, according to Zhuo Lian, the Central Holy Kingdom invaded with its troops the second year after Lin Bai left, and in the following few years it intensified many times.
The Barbarian Soul Society, which had made deals with Lin Bai, remained indifferent.
If Lin Bai hadn't come back in time, I don't know how many relatives and friends would have died in this dispute.
This was the real reason for Lin Bai's anger.
Lin Bai has not yet learned why the Barbarian Soul Society stood by and did not know the reason. He will have to ask Bai Xiaoxiao about this matter after returning to the Lingnan Imperial City.
If it is true that Barbarian Soul will break the promise and almost destroy the Shenwu Kingdom, then according to Lin Bai's words, "Now that I'm back, no one who deserves revenge or anyone who deserves to be killed can escape."
Although the evil dragon deliberately slowed down to keep pace with the Yulong Army warships, everyone still returned to the Lingnan Imperial City seven days later.
"Ho~~"
The deafening roar of the dragon echoed in the Lingnan Imperial City, causing many powerful men in the imperial city to raise their heads in fear.
When they saw the body of the dragon hovering above the clouds, they were all amazed.
"It's actually a dragon!"
"It's been a long time since we saw any trace of dragons in Mangu Continent."
"What is this dragon master doing in Lingnan Imperial City?"
Many strong men exclaimed.
The next moment, the dragon's body disappeared into the sky.
Zhuo Lian asked Nie Xiong and others to lead the Yulong Army back to the garrison, and he followed Lin Bai into the city.
Lin Bai did not enter the Lingnan Imperial City with great fanfare, but entered through the city gate like an ordinary person.
The one on the left is Evil Dragon, and the three on the right are Zhuo Lian, Li Chou and Lin Ye.
Walking into the city, the Lingnan Imperial City has been expanded several times with the arrival of the Shenwu Kingdom. The city is extremely majestic, and the number of residents in the city has already exceeded hundreds of millions, and it is as powerful as clouds.
Everywhere on the streets you can see strong men who have faced adversity.
When Lin Bai was walking on the street, what made Lin Bai's eyes shine was the bald head in the corner...
These are the Xizhou ascetics who came to the Lingnan Imperial City, and are also called ascetics, Kudutuo, Kubodhisattva, etc.
They were dressed like beggars in rags and covered in dirt. They sat cross-legged on the street with their hands clasped in front of their chests, muttering words and chanting scriptures.
Although they were like beggars, Lin Bai also found that passers-by respected them extremely. Lin Bai even saw some old men and young people wearing noble robes who would stop and give some cultivation resources.
In just one morning, these ascetics obtained more cultivation resources than the students of the Emperor's Mansion.
There are ascetics here and there, this is simply a joy!
Sitting on the street and chanting sutras casually, someone will come to add incense?
Who wouldn’t envy such a good thing?
I still remember that when Lin Bai was practicing, he had to fight for even the most basic pill.
It has never been so simple as theirs.
Lin Bai looked at these ascetics with a slight chill in his eyes.
Lin Bai respected the Buddhist land and respected the eminent monks, but the monks in the Lingnan Imperial City today were obviously not good birds.
People are divided into good and bad, and so are monks.
Take the Xizhou Buddha Land as an example. There are Bodhisattvas and Arhats sitting on lotus pedestals who pity all sentient beings, but there are also demonic monks walking in the wilderness.
Zhuo Lian felt the subtle changes in Lin Bai's expression, and whispered in Lin Bai's ear: "Brother Dongfang, most of these monks are outer disciples of Fotu Foyuan Temple in Xizhou, just like our sect in Dongzhou.
Outer disciples can’t get the true inheritance, no matter just by name.”
"They took the title of outer disciples of Foyuan Temple and became ascetics in Xizhou Buddha Land. With this title of outer disciples of Foyuan Temple, they would be able to walk in any city in Xizhou Buddha Land.
Some respected local family elders came to receive them."
"Not only ascetics, but now the most monks in the Lingnan Imperial City are monks from Foyuan Temple."
"They preached that 'If His Majesty the Emperor Xiao does not surrender to the Central Holy Kingdom, he will definitely bring destruction to the ancient continent.' They blew up quite a storm in the Lingnan Imperial City, forcing many ministers in the court to start
I have defected to persuade His Majesty Emperor Xiao to surrender to the Central Holy Kingdom."
Lin Bai asked expressionlessly: "These monks are dividing the Shenwu Kingdom. Why don't they involve the army to suppress them? Chu Jiangliu also sits back and does nothing?"
Zhuo Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course Prince Chu would not allow these monks to break up the Shenwu Kingdom. At the beginning, Prince Chu was so angry that he personally led 100,000 Chu family troops into the city, wanting to kill or expel all the monks.
Let's go out of the city, but before Prince Chu can take action, hundreds of ministers dare to come and stop Prince Chu."
"And in the court hall the next day, these ministers even impeached Prince Chu one by one, claiming that Prince Chu supported his own troops and was arrogant."
"What's more, they even said that Prince Chu had a rebellious intention, and hundreds of thousands of Chu family troops entered the city to force the palace."
"Then he presented a letter from all the people in the Lingnan Imperial City. Tens of thousands of families in the imperial city petitioned His Majesty Xiao Emperor with their names, hoping that His Majesty Xiao Emperor could depose the Prince of Chu."
"But fortunately... Prince Chu has followed His Majesty Emperor Xiao for many years. His Majesty Emperor Xiao knows very well that Prince Chu has no rebellious intentions. In the court, under the pressure of hundreds of officials, he excuses Chu Jiangliu, but even so,
His Majesty, Emperor Xiao, also had to punish Prince Chu to spend a year in seclusion at home!"
"As Prince Chu was impeached by the court officials, even if there were loyal and courageous people who saw that these monks had evil intentions, they did not dare to speak out."
"And His Majesty, Emperor Xiao, has to think hard about how to deal with the invasion of the armies of Nanzhou, Beizhou, and the Central Holy Kingdom. The monks in the imperial city are dragging them down day by day."
After hearing this, Lin Bai's face darkened and he asked, "Does Foyuan Temple know that these monks came to Lingnan Imperial City to do such mischief?"
Zhuo Lian shook his head: "Foyuan Temple is one of the three major Buddhist temples in Xizhou. It has countless disciples, and there are even more outer disciples."
"Senior Brother Dongfang, the disciples accepted in the Buddha Land are different from those in Dongzhou."
"In the Buddhist land of Xizhou, as long as you are devoted to the Buddha, you can become an outer disciple of Foyuan Temple."
"It is no exaggeration to say... one-third of all practitioners and countless living beings in the entire Xizhou Buddha Land are outer disciples of Foyuan Temple!"
"With so many believers, Foyuan Temple can handle so many."
Lin Bai let out a long sigh: "With internal and external troubles, Xiaoxiao must have suffered a lot in the past few years."
