"Yes!"
At his word, the disciples of Qingyin Temple responded in unison. In that same moment, all the elders unleashed their battle qi. The space was instantly filled with an immense pressure, and the air itself seemed to solidify.
Qingyin Temple’s strength was far superior to that of the Fengren Sect. Yet now, upon seeing this display of force, Yan Hai and his men were not the least bit panicked. On the contrary, they became exceptionally calm.
Yan Hai looked at Fu Ming beside him and said, "Supervisor Fu, it’s time for you to shine. As long as you can ensure today’s events proceed smoothly, we can cooperate for a win-win situation."
"Brother Yan, you can rest assured when I handle things," Fu Ming said coldly, then snapped his fingers.
SNAP!
With that sound, the faces of the Qingyin Temple disciples changed dramatically. They felt an intense pain in their abdomens, and the battle qi they had been emitting vanished in an instant. Immediately afterward, everyone felt weak and collapsed to the ground in unison. Even the powerful elders were greatly affected.
"What’s going on?"
The people of Qingyin Temple were utterly baffled, every last one of them slipping into a weakened state.
Even the Abbot was not exempt. However, the Abbot’s strength was formidable. He brought two fingers together and quickly pressed several acupoints on his body. By circulating his qi, he forcibly suppressed the discomfort. His face contorted in agony and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he managed to remain standing, refusing to fall.
This sudden turn of events stunned Long Chen and his companions. They were completely unaffected. But what shocked them even more was that such a significant upheaval had occurred within Qingyin Temple.
This guy really hid his intentions well. Because of his betrayal and conspiracy, the entire Qingyin Temple has been thrown into jeopardy. At this rate, they can easily triumph without a fight!
"Are you surprised? Very surprised?" Fu Ming smiled coldly. "Did you know? I’ve been secretly working on this plan for a long time.
"I laced the water you’ve been drinking these past few days with Gu Insects.
"Now, those Gu Insects are inside your bodies, and the Mother Gu is in my hands. With just a single thought, I can completely strip you of your ability to resist."
"This is so satisfying to watch!" Yan Hai laughed boisterously, his arrogance on full display. "A moment ago, weren’t all of you Qingyin Temple disciples vowing to completely exterminate our Fengren Gang?
"So why are you all lying on the ground now, as motionless as sick sheep?
"If you’ve got what it takes, then get up!
"I was looking forward to seeing you wipe out our Fengren Gang, but alas, you no longer have that chance.
"Now, you can just prepare to die!"
At these words, terror gripped everyone’s heart.
Fu Ming glanced at Yan Hai and said, "We agreed before that you are not allowed to touch the disciples of Qingyin Temple."
"I was just saying," Yan Hai replied. "Why take it so seriously? Rest assured, as long as you follow my arrangements in the future, I will definitely support you in becoming the Abbot! By the way, have you gotten the Buddha Beads?"
"Of course," Fu Ming nodded.
Hearing this, Yan Hai’s eyes lit up. "Then quickly hand over the Buddha Beads for me to see."
"There’s no rush," Fu Ming said, keeping a card up his sleeve. "It won’t be too late to examine them properly after we’ve completely resolved the situation here."
Yan Hai frowned, a flash of dissatisfaction crossing his face. Then, he put on a smile. "In that case, let’s finish this quickly."
"Bastards! As long as I stand, you’ll never succeed!"
Even though he was gravely injured, the Abbot showed no sign of backing down. He abruptly gathered his strength and hurled a palm strike at Fu Ming.
"Still defiant at death’s door?" Fu Ming snorted coldly. "If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
He murmured to himself as his battle qi erupted from his body. A Palm Shadow formed in the void. With a gentle push forward, the Palm Shadow swept instantly towards the Abbot
