Chapter 3754 Breaking the Pool
If someone were to travel tens of thousands of miles just to chisel away the Eight Treasures Merit Pool of the Western Paradise, Master Shi Gong would think it's a joke. Who would be so foolish as to do such a thing?

But as long as the matter is attributed to this former holy son of Kunlun, many things become reasonable.

Since the Buddhist monk Shi Gong met the other party, he had never seen this guy suffer any losses. On the contrary, it was the cultivators with high cultivation and strong strength who fell into the trap.

Master Shi knew that Zhang Xuezhou's immoral deeds would definitely cause some people to suffer, but Master Shi also knew very well that this guy wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit him.

Conversely, few of those who opposed Zhang Xuezhou met a good end.

Seeing that Yang Jian had also participated in the destruction, the Buddhist monk Shi Gong thought about their relationship and quickly reached out to refine the Vajra Pestle.

A feeling of emptiness washed over him, and the Buddhist disciple was absolutely certain that the Vajra Pestle had lost its master.

The Vajra Pestle is shaped like a short throwing knife, but only the length of a finger. It is a magic weapon used by the Cundi Sect Master to supplement his offensive capabilities. It is a top-tier weapon for sneak attacks in the Three Realms, and few people who are hit by it have a good ending.

Master Shi, a Buddhist monk, had always been poor and had never experienced such wealth before.

His gaze swept over the robes and crown worn by the master of the Zhunti Sect, and after much deliberation, he refrained from the evil deed of tearing off the robes and seizing the crown.

However, he quickly refined the Vajra Pestle and seized it for himself.

When Zhang Xuezhou urged him repeatedly, the Buddhist monk Shi Gong was already able to release the Vajra Pestle.

A vajra was struck, and a large chunk fell from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, whose edges were corroded and pitted.

"What exactly is the benefit of damaging the Eight Treasures Merit Pool?" the Buddhist disciple asked urgently.

“We’re investigating the cause of the leader’s death. I think there’s something in this pool that worked with the scorpion demon to devour the leader’s body. If this is done, it will definitely benefit your control over the Western Sect,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you then. The Buddha's disciple has already used the Seven Treasures Tree to break the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform of the Guide of the Buddha. You're still here being petty and asking questions endlessly. If you don't hurry up, you won't even be qualified to compete with the Buddha's disciple!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a reminder.

The Buddha's disciple decided to overthrow the Western religion in order to break free from all constraints and be reborn, and thus took the path of violent resistance.

In contrast, the Buddhist disciples of Master Shi Gong could only hedge their risks by protecting the Western religion in order to win over another group of people.

This kind of Western religion, which is constantly plagued by internal strife, is the kind of Western religion that people can trust, and it will be tolerated by the Celestial Court and Kunlun.

The Western religion must be divided to survive in peace, and the disciples of Master Shi Gong must also oppose the disciples of Buddha Tathagata in order to gain a place.

On the other hand, if the leader of the Jieyin Sect still has some trump card and manages to escape from Bifeng Cave, then the Buddhist disciple Shigong would be considered a meritorious person for protecting the Western Sect, thus having a way to retreat.

After a few brief words, Master Shi's expression shifted between light and dark.

The Buddha's disciple had already risen up in rebellion, so it would be inappropriate for him to rise up as well. Moreover, the Buddha's disciple Shi Gong was unaware of some of the details, and it was impossible for him to oppose the Western religion without a clear understanding of the situation. This led the Buddha's disciple Shi Gong to quickly accept Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion.

"Please don't harm me this time," the Buddhist disciple added, still shaken.

"I've always considered you a friend," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Just tell me, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Could you have done better than me?"

"This one……"

"I didn't cut off your lower body. Besides, I rebelled against Kunlun a long time ago and was even put on an execution order by Kunlun. Those things have nothing to do with me!"

Given the circumstances of the Buddhist monk, it is difficult to find someone to be responsible for the incident.

He was merely deceived by Zhang Xuezhou. The seductive technique was used because his forced entry into Yaochi provoked the targeting of Consorts Du Jiang and Shangyuan. The Emperor and Empress were furious after observing the water mirror and released the Phoenix Hairpin. When the Taoist Ran Deng intervened to stop him, he knocked the Phoenix Hairpin askew and subsequently provided incorrect treatment for his defiled body.

Many events were interconnected, and in the end, Zhang Xuezhou rescued Master Shi, who also suffered unspeakable physical aftereffects.

No one was at fault in any of the links, making it difficult for Master Shi to find an enemy. Zhang Xuezhou brought up the old matter again, even mentioning that he had betrayed Kunlun and was then ordered to be executed by Kunlun, thus absolving himself of any responsibility.

The Buddhist monk didn't know how to express the complex emotions in his heart, but from Zhang Xuezhou's perspective, he realized that it would be difficult for him to do better.

"Hurry up and lend us a hand. Drain the water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and then dig up the roots of this Seven Treasures Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus to revive Nezha!" Yang Jian urged. "If you help the Celestial Court, the Celestial Court will give you some face in the future!"

"Hey, good!"

After Yang Jian urged him on, the Buddhist disciple Shi Gong once again unleashed the Vajra Pestle.

In this sacred mountain and secret land, there are bound to be many people with different thoughts and purposes, but there are no problems in coordinating among them.

Later, the Buddha also summoned several great monks with whom he had close ties, such as Indra, Surya, and Varuna, to help him, and monks were stationed nearby to prevent anyone from crossing the area.

In a short time, several groups of Western Sect monks, who were chasing, investigating, and examining the case, formed, causing chaos and disorder throughout the entire Lingshan Secret Realm.

When the water in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool was completely released, the overflowing water stirred up countless bubbles that looked like rolling white clouds, making the scene extremely chaotic.

"We've found the roots of this lotus leaf!"

There seems to be something there!

Water rushed out from the gap, and Yang Jian reached out and grabbed the main root of the Seven Treasures Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus under the silt, no longer needing to pull and tug at the various leaves.

Zhang Xuezhou then looked towards the source of the underground water flow in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Without the water covering the pool, the spring water at the gushing point had a slightly bloody smell, and patches of red light could be vaguely seen.

Zhang Xuezhou caused trouble in the Wind Cave by scattering a large amount of poisonous sand, but the spring water had not yet turned black and flowed into this place, nor had the water flow been blocked, which made him somewhat disappointed.

But Zhang Xuezhou quickly turned his attention to the red light at the spring.

"Buddha's disciple, strike the Vajra over there and check the situation, lest we be put in danger!"

Zhang Xuezhou instigated the Buddhist monk Shi Gong, who, once on board, didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed his Vajra Pestle.

"Bah!"

As the attack was launched, Zhang Xuezhou saw a shadow emerge from the bottom of the pool and rush towards him almost instantly.

A chill ran through Zhang Xuezhou, and his body instinctively used its 'fast and slow' abilities.

The momentary closeness turned into a balancing pull.

"Damn it, you keep looking for me no matter where I hide! Why won't you leave me alone!"

The opposing realms of 'fast and slow' created a strange collision. Zhang Xuezhou felt that everything around him had come to a standstill, except for him and Donghua, who remained normal.

Donghua's irritable outburst clearly showed his extreme dissatisfaction with Zhang Xuezhou. He even emphasized that he had been avoiding Zhang Xuezhou, completely portraying himself as a victim.

This kind of role reversal makes it hard for Zhang Xuezhou to complain, after all, he really did avoid Donghua for many years.

"I've been planning this opportunity for years, and you've ruined it again! My hatred for you is as endless as the Ganges!"

The shadows began to appear on Donghua's face, revealing his gritted teeth.

"Then let's fight to the death!"

Zhang Xuezhou wanted to respond, but ultimately felt it was unnecessary. Only by truly distinguishing between the two kings could he and Donghua find peace. Otherwise, anyone who had such a persistent and ruthless opponent would find their lives filled with unease.
