Chapter 812: They Fought

Knowing that Lord Phoenix would not listen to him, the little monk decided to prepare more vegetarian dishes for Lord Phoenix during the banquet, hoping that the delicious food could curb her temper.

According to the initial plan, they were supposed to serve two dishes during the banquet. However, when the day arrived, eight dishes, with an extra plate of peaches, were placed on the table before Phoenix.

The banquet started as the Light of Buddha lit up the place.

Beautiful flowers blossomed in every corner of the Xumi Mountain as if it was paving a path for a special person.

At the Hall of Great Strength, tittle-tattle filled the atmosphere.

The subject of their whispers was none other than the emperor who was sitting on the main seat.

The handsome emperor carried a graceful and bewitching aura.

However, innumerable demons were riding on the emperor’s back, swamping the Buddhist banquet with a chilling demonic aura.

Is he here for the food?

He’s obviously here to challenge us!

He’s trying to bully us, the monks, thinking that we’ve never learned about the social expressions.

But, we’re not as senseless as you think!

We’re at the Hall of Great Strength, the most sacred place in Buddhism. No demon has ever stepped foot into this place!

The emperor greeted them with a compliment when he entered the hall.

It was a solid compliment!

More precisely, he told the monks, “I genuinely respect your acceptance toward the Six Dao and your effort to save all livings from their sufferings.”

As a reply, they chanted Amitabha politely before they said, “This is what we, as Buddhists, are supposed to do.”

However, much to their surprise, the man continued, “If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to bring them along, right?”

Immediately, uncountable shadows of the demons appeared behind him.

The atmosphere was abruptly overwhelmed by eerie wickedness.

The man put on a faint grin before he added, “After all, they hailed from Six Dao too.”

The monks were flustered as they could not argue with him!

Without other options, they had to swallow the bitter pill.

The emperor was rather brazen as he did not even give them the chance to reject his request!

“Honored Sir, Lord Phoenix is here,” the Buddhist novice informed his master with a muffled tone. Nevertheless, it required a great amount of courage for him to speak under such a stressful environment.

The Honored Sir began to turn the prayer beads in his hand as he raised his other hand in front of his chest. He chanted Amitabha before he spoke, “Bring Phoenix in.”

“Yes.” The novice left the room.

Before long, a lady, with black ankle-length hair, ascended the stairs of cloud. A lotus bloomed at each step she made.

Unlike the other Buddhas, Phoenix was wearing a blood-red cloak on top of her pure white cassock. Under the Light of Buddha, her gown and her long hair fluttered in the wind, resembling the meteors that struck through the sky. Merely standing still, she outshone the Light of Buddha.

The man, who was sitting at the hall, rested his chin on his slim and long fingers before he nonchalantly changed his position.

Phoenix sensed that something was wrong when she entered the hall.

When she lifted her head to gaze at the main seat in the hall, she found the source of the lingering blood scent almost instantly.

She had seen many blasphemous demons.

However, only a handful of them were audacious enough to visit the Xumi Mountain.

Besides this man, there was almost no one who was gutsy enough to sit in front of these demons.

Owing to the blinding Light of Buddha, she was not able to see the face of the man.

But, this did not contain her urge to fight the man.

With her head tilted, Phoenix smiled gently. Before anyone could react, she turned the praying beads on her wrist into an exquisite machete under the Light of Buddha.

She struck an attack with the machete, like the shooting stars that raced across the sky which was lit up by the Light of Buddha, aiming at the man on the main seat.

All the deities and Buddhas from both Tian Dao and Buddhism were appalled as they gazed at the man with their widened eyes. “Emperor!”

Emperor? Phoenix furrowed her beautiful brows. Meanwhile, the blade of the machete stopped at five centimeters before the emperor’s chest.

Surprisingly, the man was not intimidated by the machete. He crossed his long legs before he gently lifted his brow and stared at her. He did not have the intention to dodge the attack as though he was completely unbothered by it. All the while, his pretty eyes remained tranquil.

When Phoenix was considering if she should retract the machete, she was shocked by a deafening clank. Her machete was broken into two before it turned into multiple light spots and fell from the sea of clouds.

The Buddhas were astonished when the virtuous aura was quickly dismissed.

The machete was transformed from Phoenix’s praying beads. It was impossible for a commoner to break it.

The emperor is so…

“I’m sorry that I failed to control my strength.” In spite of his words, he did not sound apologetic at all. “But, I didn’t expect to be greeted with a knife. Is that how the Buddhists welcome their guests?”

The man grinned as he spoke. No one had seen such an indescribably enchanting and graceful smile.

The hand that was holding Helian Wei Wei’s waist was firm and strong. With the metallic blood scent lingering in the air, he stared at Phoenix with his cold eyes. From the side, his chiseled face was exceptionally gorgeous.

The empty hall was buried by dead silence. No one spoke or move.

The little monk, who was following Phoenix, finally arrived. He witnessed the scene with his mouth agape as he massaged his aching bald head. He felt bad for not being able to stop Lord Phoenix on time.

Does Lord Phoenix hate the emperor so much?

Did she attack him without hesitation?

Lord, you’re overzealous!

Did you attack him because he’s not happy with your fierceness, or because he’s better than you?

That’s not what a Buddhist do!

Amitabha!

In actual fact, the little monk had misunderstood Phoenix.

The demons were Phoenix’s target. She was used to killing the demons and that was her instinctive reaction.

She did not expect that the emperor was the one who brought the demons into Buddhism.

Indeed, Phoenix had met the emperor before. She only failed to identify him because of the dark environment.

For many years, rumor said that Phoenix and the emperor were adversaries.

However, they had never actually battled before.

They merely ran into each other a few times and saw one another from afar.

He was present during her previous assignment to kill the demons.

Tian Dao was better than Buddhism as their members were allowed to go anywhere they wanted to.

However, she wondered if she had unintentionally offended him when she was injured by him in the arm.

In his defence, he did not recognize her as well. Only when the moonlight shone on her, he raised his brows and asked, “It’s you?”

It was strange because he sounded as if he was caught cheating on his partner.

However, she did not engage in a conversation with him. They had always been nothing more than acquaintances. Moreover, he did not hurt her deliberately.

She nodded out of courtesy before she captured the demons and returned to Buddhism.

Then, their subsequent meeting happened at the banquet.

He seemed to be less amicable than Phoenix.

Despite his aloofness, the indifferent Phoenix smiled.

After all, she did not like him much either…
