Chapter 264: Reckoning
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The incident came to an end.
The Heavenly Spirit Realm officially became a vassal of the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
After repairing the Heavenly Road, they could send the forces of the Wilderness Region to the Heavenly Spirit Region to cultivate.
And this news spread throughout the entire continent like a plague, in just half a day.
The factions participating in this regional war were pleasantly surprised.
Because they would be able to obtain rich benefits from it!
Of course, the factions that did not participate in this regional war and did not even support the Cloud Phoenix Empire’s decision to fight also looked defeated.
Not only did they have nothing.
In fact… They might suffer a calamity!
“Sigh, why didn’t I choose to join the Cloud Phoenix Empire back then?”
“In any case, if we lose the domain war and the domain is destroyed, we will die.”
“I might as well join the Cloud Phoenix Empire and take a gamble.”
Who knew what these people were thinking at that time?
They could only say that they were frogs in a well.
Even though they regretted it, there was nothing he could do.
It had already happened. It was over.
There was no room for regret.
At the same time, there were also some factions that were even more terrified.
These factions had once publicly said that they did not support the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
They were even against the rebuilding of the Cloud Phoenix Empire!
Or, there was friction and enmity with the Cottage and the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
Currently, these forces…
Someone took a precious treasure and headed to Cloud Phenix City, wanting to apologize.
He hoped that the Cloud Phoenix Empire would be lenient and also had forces.
They were terrified and uneasy, but they did not dare to take any action.
Some sects even disbanded to save their lives.
And these forces that hated the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
The first to bear the brunt.
It was the Buddhist Sect.
All the factions looked at the Buddhist Sect of the Western Region.
They wanted to see how the Cloud Phoenix Empire would deal with the outcome of this superpower.
Soon, the Cloud Phoenix Empire gave an answer.
The Imperial Preceptor led the team.
The Nine Heavens Tribe and their subordinates led their troops to the Western Region.
Their target was the Buddhist Sect!
The Buddhist Sect seemed to have a premonition.
A golden barrier rose around the Buddha Mountain!
This was the protective array formation of the Buddhist Sect!
Inside the grand formation, the four Great Buddhas, along with many Bodhisattvas and shamis, were prepared for battle!
Everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Calm, uneasy, terrified!
When the army of the Cloud Phoenix Empire arrived at the foot of the Buddha Mountain.
The Imperial Preceptor held his scepter and shouted, “Where’s the Lord Buddha?”
At the top of Buddha Mountain, a golden light flashed.
In the blink of an eye, the Lord Buddha appeared in front of the Imperial Preceptor.
“On behalf of the Buddhist Sect and the mortals of this continent, 1 thank you for your efforts.”
The Imperial Preceptor sneered. “Lord Buddha, there’s no need to say any more hypocritical words.”
“You should know why we’re here, right?”
Hearing this, the Lord Buddha’s expression did not show any uneasiness.
On the contrary, there was only calm.
“Of course I know, but 1 still have to resist with all my might.” The Lord Buddha said indifferently.
The Buddhist Sect has developed for tens of thousands of years after all. It’s a foundation that has lasted for tens of thousands of years. It can’t be lost just like that.”
With that, the aura of the half-step Martial Monarch Realm Lord Buddha suddenly erupted!
Buddhist light flashed and soared into the sky!
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Preceptor held his scepter and followed the Lord Buddha into the sky.
Not long after, waves of aftershocks came from the collision!
The battle between two half-step Martial Monarch Realm experts.
It also became the fuse of this war.
The Nine Heavens Tribe, Hidden Dao Academy, Hidden Sword Sect, Mu Clan, Li Family, and other factions led their people and charged towards Buddha Mountain!
The Buddhist Sect only had four Void God Realm experts.
However, on the Cloud Phoenix Empire’s side, there were Void God Realm experts like the Nine Heavens Tribe, the Hidden Dao Academy’s Dean Yan, the Hidden Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Lin Rufeng, the Mu family’s Mu Heze, and the Li family’s master!
With such a disparity in lineup, the defeat of the Buddhist Sect was obvious.
At the same time, this war did not last long.
Soon, the entire Buddha Mountain was covered in blood!
The four Buddhas were heavily injured and surrounded by many Void God Realm experts.
Looking at the one-sided massacre of the Buddha cultivators on Buddha Mountain, he could not help but feel bitter.
The Buddhist Sect had made a decision back then.
Was it really correct?
However, that was not important anymore.
They could not stop the people of the Cloud Phoenix Empire from killing the people of the Buddhist Sect.
They were on different sides after all.
The Buddhist Sect was the loser and the loser had to bear the corresponding punishment!
Nonetheless, at this moment, an old man suddenly appeared on Buddha Mountain.
The old man sighed softly. “Sigh… Benefactors, stop.”
His voice was soft.
However, everyone heard it!
Everyone couldn’t help but look up.
A powerful aura slowly rose around the old man.
This aura shocked everyone.
A half-step Martial Monarch Realm expert!
This half-step Martial Monarch Realm expert was on the Cloud Phoenix Empire’s side.
Ning Chenxin also looked up.
He could not help but be slightly stunned.
This old man was the abbot of the Clear Heart Temple who had wanted to take him in as a disciple!
The Imperial Preceptor and Buddha also stopped fighting and came to the abbot of Clear Heart Temple.
The abbot smiled bitterly and put his palms together. “Amitabha. Benefactors, don’t kill again.”
“The Buddhist Sect has already paid the price we deserved.”
The leader of the Nine Heavens Tribe, Yun Zhan, sneered and said, “Price? Is this price enough?”
“Ten thousand years ago, it was also because the Buddhist Sect revealed the news that the Continent Alliance was defeated in a short period of time!”
“It also led to the defeat of the Domain War and the destruction of many sects and factions!”
“The Cloud Phoenix Empire was also destroyed because of this!”
“How many people died? The Buddhist Sect hasn’t perished yet. How can this price be enough?”
The abbot of Clear Heart Temple smiled bitterly.
The other party was telling the truth and couldn’t argue with that.
He could only say, “When will revenge end…”
However, this sentence was especially weak.
The Buddhist Sect was the losing side after all.
The Imperial Preceptor turned around and looked at Hong Ying, who was in the middle of the army.
Apparently, it was for Hong Ying to make the decision.
Hong Ying glanced at the abbot of the Clear Heart Temple and the Buddhist Sect that was covered in blood.
After some thought, she said, “We can stop.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Lord Buddha was also slightly shocked.
Hong Ying continued, “However, the great Buddhas and Buddhist Lord of the
Buddhist Sect must die.”
“This is my condition.”
Hearing this decision, Yun Zhan stopped talking.
He had to support the Empress 100% after all.
At the same time, Hong Ying had her own thoughts.
The Buddhist Sect had many believers.
If they destroyed the Buddhist Sect rashly, the Cloud Phoenix Empire would definitely suffer the dissatisfaction of many Buddhist believers.
This was somewhat disadvantageous to the Cloud Phoenix Empire’s complete control of the Wilderness Region.
That was why she had made this decision.
The Lord Buddha looked at Hong Ying and smiled. “Amitabha. Your Majesty is magnanimous. In that case, please abide by your promise.”
Hong Ying nodded.
Seeing this, the Lord Buddha and the four Great Buddhas sat down cross-legged and clasped their hands together.
A green light lit up between their eyebrows and their souls disappeared at this moment!
Just like that, the Lord Buddha and the Great Buddhas were all dead.
The Buddhist Sect only existed in name from thereforth…
