“Furthermore, proclaim that any power that dares to establish a sect in Tangshan Prefecture without permission shall be utterly eradicated. Jinhua Temple serves as a warning to them!”
“Your servant obeys the command!”
“Your servant obeys the command!”
At Chen Yuan’s command, in Tangshan Prefecture, his word was absolute, and Han Yu and others bowed in unison to pay homage.
Watching Han Yu and the others leave, only Chen Yuan and Lady Xu remained in the Heavenly Patrol Hall, where silence ensued for a moment. Lady Xu took a deep breath and moved forward to pour a cup of tea for Chen Yuan.
“My lord, please calm down. Are you not going a bit too far…?”
Lady Xu asked with some concern.
She was not afraid of any repercussions from obliterating Jinhua Temple, nor was she afraid of reprisals from Bright Temple. Rather, it was Chen Yuan’s order prohibiting any Buddhist disciple from entering Tangshan.
To eradicate Buddhism here!
If such actions were to be disseminated by those with ulterior motives, they would surely cause a significant stir. Eradicating Buddhism—what a proclamation that was! In the current era, Buddhism was flourishing,
occupying the entire Western Regions and blossoming even across the Central Plains with high-ranking monks sitting in the court as State Preceptors.
Contending with such a formidable force seemed unwise.
She also did not quite understand why Chen Yuan became so incensed upon hearing about the Japan Martial Artist. Could it be that they had previous grievances with the martial artists of Japan?
Chen Yuan looked up, fixing his gaze on Lady Xu, and said solemnly:
“Remember, in Tangshan, I am the heavens!”
This time, his anger was not only due to the matter of the Japan Martial Artist but also because the monks of Jinhua Temple were audacious enough to encroach on his territory. If left unchecked or handled through conciliation,
it would inevitably lead other forces to follow suit.
Therefore, he had to resolve this once and for all, to make his resolve known.
Moreover, he also harbored a genuine distaste for Buddhism.
Although he could not say he found all monks detestable, at least those he had encountered thus far, he certainly did. And one day, when he had the power,
he was bound to carry through with what happened today to the bitter end!
“Your concubine understands!”
Lady Xu nodded slightly.
Heaving a sigh, Chen Yuan’s gaze became focused. After calming the rage in his heart, he suddenly realized that his fury today was indeed somewhat abnormal.
He had always been calm, rarely ever furious.
Though it was due to the aggregation of hatred from past and present lives, it was still somewhat unusual—could it be…
He was suddenly startled, an epiphany dawning within him. Perhaps his rage was associated with his current state at the peak of Heavenly Palace, even affecting him.
It seemed the journey of Core Formation had already begun…
He must divert his attention. With that thought, Chen Yuan abruptly looked towards Lady Xu, causing her heart to tremble, sensing his intense gaze, she pursed her lips:
“My lord, why are you looking at your concubine like that?”
“During the time of my retreat, you have managed the affairs of Tangshan Prefecture well, organizing everything in perfect order. Chen is always clear about rewards and punishments, and since you have contributed, let me reward you with something.”
Lady Xu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, asking curiously.
Chen Yuan leaned closer, his lips barely moving as he whispered to her.
Lady Xu’s cheeks reddened, and she quickly shook her head:
“My lord’s reward is too generous, your concubine better not accept it.”
Chen Yuan smiled, stepping forward to sweep Lady Xu into his arms.
Taking a deep breath, the fragrant scent filling his nose, his lips curled slightly as a powerful invisible force enveloped the great hall instantly.
Sometimes, women like to save face. You offer her something, and she will say no, but… if you insist on giving it to her, she will gladly accept it.
The order of Chen Yuan in Tangshan Prefecture was almost in the nature of an Imperial Decree, and the Heavenly Patrol Guard were mobilized en masse, with all elites acting under the leadership of Han Yu, Du Ming, and others.
They burned the yet-to-be established Jinhua Temple to the ground in a single fire.
The abbot of Jinhua Temple, infuriated, engaged them in battle.
But ultimately, he perished under the long blade.
His cultivation was indeed stronger, but faced with multiple attackers, he was ultimately overwhelmed, only to die in Tangshan, and even in death, he would never have anticipated.
Their deaths were not because they wanted to settle there. If it had only been that, Chen Yuan would have expelled them from Tangshan Prefecture, not taken their lives.
But they had committed a taboo, daring to offer tribute to the Longevity Altar of the Japan dwarfs in their temples, which was decidedly deserving of death. The most update n0vels are published on novèlfire.net
The Heavenly Patrol Bureau eradicated Jinhua Temple with thunderous might, beheading over a hundred people, their blood staining the earth. Their skulls were piled up and constructed into a sight outside the Tangshan Prefecture City.
Following that, the then Magistrate of Tangshan, Liu Zhengsong, officially posted a notice forbidding the entry of Buddhist monks into the Tangshan Prefecture territory by even half a step, with violators to be beheaded immediately!
Then, the Capital Commandant Du Ming, a newly emerged Reach Profound expert in the Jianghu of Tangshan, joined the top fifty of Hidden Dragon List Han Yu, also declared publicly that anyone wishing to establish a sect in Tangshan Prefecture should first assess their strength!
These two declarations, stirring up waves with one stone, immediately instigated an uproar.
Because anyone sensible could tell that it was a signal from Chen Yuan, even if he had not used his own name, the taking of such actions right after coming out of seclusion made it plain enough to understand!
This news swiftly spread within Tangshan Prefecture and even began to spill into neighboring territories, although it did not incite any shockwaves in Jianghu.
