Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

When Xiao Yi's voice echoed in the skies above Shaolin Temple, the four ancestors of the temple, who had been ready to act, immediately led a group of Shaolin powerhouses to soar into the sky.

Each figure was suspended above the heavens.

A dark mass.

Like clouds covering the sky.

Across the lands of the Western Province, countless powerhouses were alerted.

Inside the Hanging Temple.

The Hanging Sky Supreme, having already returned from Spirit Mountain, opened his eyes. His sharp gaze seemingly pierced through miles to witness that astonishing sword light at Shaolin Temple, his expression slightly shifting, "Shaolin Buddha King Xiao Yi... dares to draw his sword against Spirit Mountain?"

Xuan Cang clasped his hands together, chanting Amitabha Buddha, "Supreme, what are the odds of Shaolin's victory?"

"Odds of victory?"

Hanging Sky Supreme was stunned for a moment, then bitterly smiled, "Like dust!"

Dust?

Wasn't that extremely slim?

Xuan Cang frowned, "Since Shaolin's chance of success is so faint, why doesn't the Supreme follow the Buddha Mother's decree and guard Spirit Mountain?"

"I am under the Buddha's command; even if I don't go, the Buddha Mother can't do anything to me!"

Hanging Sky Supreme responded lightly and then closed his eyes, whispering in a voice audible only to himself, "Besides... there's a great secret in Xiao Yi! Although not a Supreme Buddha, he can refine the power of faith and is welcoming to all comers... Perhaps, he really might have a faint hope of success!"

Meanwhile.

Inside Vajra Temple, the Vajra Supreme was talking with Guang Liang, "Guang Liang, you've interacted with Xiao Yi, what do you think of him?"

Guang Liang was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Unfathomable!"

"Unfathomable?"

Vajra Supreme was startled. Although others thought Guang Liang obeyed because Xuan Cang had saved his life, Vajra Supreme was well aware that Guang Liang acted this way to divert everyone's attention from him, an extremely patient and intelligent man.

This point...

Was evident over the years, as Hanging Temple had always been supporting Vajra Temple.

The contribution from Vajra Temple was merely Guang Liang, who always followed Xuan Cang like a little brother.

A pretend fool.

Rarely did such uncertainty emerge from his speech.

Vajra Supreme became interested, "Go on, why can't you see through him?"

After a brief contemplation, Guang Liang listed out many of Xiao Yi's actions since he arrived in the Western Province, "Everything about this fellow before he appeared in the Western Province is a mystery; we don't know where he came from, knowing only that he claims to be a disciple of Supreme Shakya. Although even the Shaolin ancestors haven't denied this, I always felt something was off."

"How so?" asked Vajra Supreme.

Guang Liang spoke gravely, "If he truly is a disciple of Supreme Shakya, theoretically, he should have entered Shaolin to avenge Shakya. However, his choice to strike at Celestial Dragon Temple was peculiar. Secondly, when he confronted Celestial Dragon Supreme, the two clearly already knew each other and had deep-seated grudges, another doubtful point. Moreover, he is not a Supreme Buddha, yet he can refine the power of faith... So many mysteries, indeed inscrutable..."

Vajra Supreme nodded inwardly.

Half a year ago.

All these Supreme Buddhas received Buddha Mother's decree. He and Hanging Sky Supreme also hesitated about whether to return to Spirit Mountain to oppose Xiao Yi.

They also discussed the many doubts surrounding Xiao Yi.

Because of these.

They ultimately chose to leave Spirit Mountain and watch the tigers fight from the mountain!

After a moment of contemplation.

Vajra Supreme spoke, "What do you think, does he have a chance of victory in this expedition to Spirit Mountain?"

Guang Liang pondered for a moment and said, "The great Tao has fifty, fortune has forty-nine. Everything in the world has a sliver of hope…"

Both men simultaneously looked towards the direction of Shaolin Temple.

Meanwhile.

In the newly established Green Cloud Buddha Nation.

Behind Azure Cloud Temple, the Supreme Expert Qingyun Ancestor, fueled by the faith plundered during the establishment of the Buddhist nation, had made rapid progress and reached the Ninth Layer Supreme Realm, currently basking in the spring breeze of success. Naturally, he sensed the commotion in the direction of Shaolin Temple, his squinting eyes flickering with a cold sharpness: "The time for this venerable to seize the opportunity has come!"

Under his command.

The abbot of Azure Cloud Temple, Master Yunhui, showed a worried expression: "Ancestor, the Shaolin Buddha King Xiao Yi can even fight against Celestial Dragon Supreme; it is rumored that even the Buddha Mother's Dharma Body perished by his hand. Are we really to make an enemy of him?"

"Hmph, what is Celestial Dragon Supreme? If it hadn't been for the blessing of the Buddha's fruit position, this old ancestor would slay him as easily as slaughtering a chicken..."

Green Cloud Supreme sneered. He left the Western Province two thousand years ago to undertake trials, fortuitously obtaining an ancient legacy and cultivated up to the Fifth Layer Supreme before returning to the Western Province. Just as he was about to establish the Green Cloud Buddha Nation, he discovered that Celestial Dragon Supreme had annihilated White Tiger Temple and seized the Supreme Buddha's fruit position.

These years he had been silently enduring and practicing within Azure Cloud Temple.

All for the opportunity of obtaining a Buddha's fruit position.

Now...

With the death of Celestial Dragon Supreme and the vacant Buddha's fruit position, it was his only opportunity.

"As for eliminating the Buddha Mother's Dharma Body, that's merely a rumor spread by Shaolin Temple. If he really did eliminate the Buddha Mother's Dharma Body, do you think the Buddha Mother would endure and not strike him down?"

The Qingyun Ancestor spoke arrogantly, seeing through it all, "With the strength of this venerable now, coupled with the strength of Green Cloud Buddha Nation not being inferior to Shaolin Temple, exterminating Shaolin Temple is within easy reach. As long as we kill Xiao Yi, it would be a great merit, and by bringing Xiao Yi's head to Spirit Mountain, I can surely obtain a Buddha's fruit position from the Buddha Mother's hands."

Qingyun Ancestor's eyes turned red, his face full of excitement.

The ancient legacy he obtained was tremendously terrifying, allowing him to cultivate all the way to the Ninth Layer Supreme Realm.

With his current strength, if he were to become a Supreme Buddha, he might even rise further to reach the Peak Supreme Realm. Once becoming a Peak Supreme, even the esteemed position of the current Buddha was within his reach. Thinking that he might soon sit alongside the Buddha and Buddha Mother, Qingyun Ancestor's face flushed even redder: "You all only need to follow this venerable's command, follow me to kill Xiao Yi, and exterminate Shaolin. Once this venerable achieves the position of Supreme Buddha, ample rewards will be given!"

"We solemnly follow the venerable's decree!"

"Kill Xiao Yi, extinguish Shaolin!"

"We preemptively congratulate the venerable on obtaining the Buddha's fruit position..."

Watching a crowd of strong men from Green Cloud Buddha Nation flattering him respectfully, Qingyun Ancestor laughed heartily and waved a commanding hand, "Hasten to rally the Buddha soldiers under your command, before reaching Spirit Mountain, target Xiao Yi!"

"Yes!"

At that moment.

Under Qingyun Ancestor's leadership, tens of thousands of Buddha soldiers from Green Cloud Buddha Nation moved mightily towards Spirit Mountain.

Millions of powerful warriors from Green Cloud Buddha Nation formed eight phalanxes, like a giant dark dragon sprawling before Spirit Mountain, creating a man-made wall, becoming the first barrier of Spirit Mountain.

After waiting for a full three days.

In front of the strong warriors of Green Cloud Buddha Nation, the figures of Xiao Yi and others finally appeared.

Qingyun Ancestor soared into the air, his aura as a Ninth Layer Supreme fully unleashed, his cold gaze staring directly at Xiao Yi opposite him, arrogantly said, "Which one is Shaolin Buddha King Xiao Yi? I, Qingyun Ancestor, have been waiting here for a long time!"

"Qingyun Ancestor? Never heard of that!"

Xiao Yi's icy voice drifted through, "You block our path with your troops; what is your intention?"

Qingyun Ancestor's face darkened.

He didn't expect Xiao Yi had never heard of his great name, sneered coldly and said, "I am a disciple of Buddha's gate, how can I allow such an Evil Demon who commits irreverence to step foot on Holy Spirit Mountain? Today, I'm here to take your life!"

"Take my life?"

Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback, then shook his head laughing, "Qingyun Ancestor, hmm? It's not easy to cultivate to the Ninth Layer Supreme Realm, I'll give you a moment to clear the path. After three breaths, gods blocking will be slain; before me, the way shall be as smooth as a plain!"
