Reaping the Bitter Fruit of Their Own Actions

The divine Mirror Spirit Divine Light was awe-inspiring and terrifying. Under its illumination, Monk Yunkong's face went blank, and he finally lost all self-awareness, completely submitting to Yang Tianyou and becoming Mirror Spirit Puppet.

"Greetings, Master!!" Yunchu Chu bowed respectfully.

Seeing this, the Artifact Spirit the Nine-Dragon Heaven-Burning Furnace couldn't help but shrink back, muttering to itself, "My goodness, what kind of Divine Ability is this? It's so domineering, comparable to the Buddhist Sect Supreme Divine Ability, the Sutra of Salvation!"

After Yunkong transformed into Mirror Spirit Puppet, Yang Tianyou instructed him to return to Jinyun Temple. He then took the Beast-Attracting Incense and, under the dual protection of the Formless Insect and the Void Worm, used Spatial Exchange to arrive Jinyun Temple. After settling the Beast-Attracting Incense, he took out three pale red Pills, which were the Strange Refining Unification Pills.

With a gentle squeeze, the Pills shattered into dust, which, guided by Yang Tianyou's Law Power, merged into the Beast-Attracting Incense.

"An eye for an eye, Jinyun Temple, humph, you'll get a taste of this Beast-Attracting Incense!" Yang Tianyou muttered to himself, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He was always one to only retaliate when provoked, but if someone did, he would exterminate them completely!

The Beast-Attracting Incense is colorless and odorless to Human Race cultivators and has no effect on them, but it is quite attractive to beastmen, especially the less Wisdom savage Savage Beasts. Once they smell the scent of the Beast-Attracting Incense, they will immediately go into a frenzy.

Not to mention that this beast -Beast-Attracting Incense has been "super-enhanced," making its effects even more pronounced.

As time went by, the scent of the Beast-Attracting Incense gradually spread and permeated the surging, Kuanglong River.

At the bottom of the river, on a continuous underwater mountain range, countless aquatic creatures dwell, including fish, shrimp, crabs, and snails. Some Water Tribe even make their home here, where they reproduce and thrive.

However, on this day, the underwater mountain range suddenly began to shake, silt and sand fell off in a flurry, and aquatic plants fluttered down. The commotion was so great that it even stirred up Raging Waves on the nearby river, capsizing many fishing boats.

What's going on?

A cultivator riding Flying Sword was terrified. Just a moment ago, everything was fine and the sea was calm. He never expected that in the blink of an eye, the wind and waves would be so high that his fishing boat would be swept into the Kuanglong River.

"My fish, several Tier 2 spirit fish, just like that, gone!!" One cultivator beat his chest in despair, heartbroken. But many more cultivators stared in horror at the river. One with keen senses, his face pale, stammered, "Down below... something's about to come out!!"

"What is that?" one of the cultivators asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, let's run! This thing is beyond our ability to fight!"

As he spoke, the man actually used Blood Escape Technique, transforming into a streak of blood light and disappearing into the sky.

The other cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, and eventually followed suit and began to flee for their lives.

However, before they could get very far, a deafening roar Yunxiao.

"Roar!!"

Resembling neither a whale nor a dragon, its high-pitched sound, like the wrath of a thunder god, ignored spatial barriers and Yunxiao sky in an instant. In a moment, the creatures flying in the sky above the Kuanglong River fell down like dumplings being dropped into boiling water. Some that were close by were directly shattered into a cloud of blood mist by the sound waves.

As the wind rose and the waves surged, a colossal creature gradually emerged from the water.

It was three hundred miles long, with five claws on its belly, a prominent head and horns, and mottled scales covering its dark blue skin. Its powerful Dragon Might might rolled out like Dark Clouds covering the sky, and its blood-red eyes stared angrily in the direction of Jinyun Temple.

"This is... Five-Clawed Dragon Whale, Eighth Tier superior Savage Beast! My god, how could such a monster appear here? Shouldn't it be active in the core area of the Kuanglong River?" A Spirit Transformation cultivator activated his Pupil Technique from afar, and upon seeing it, he was immediately terrified. This extremely powerful Savage Beast could almost fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator at Body Integration Great Perfection stage. It usually roamed deep within the Kuanglong River and was rarely seen. He had only seen glimpses of the Five-Clawed Dragon Whale in ancient texts, and he never expected to see its true form in his lifetime.

"Run! If this ferocious beast goes on rampage, not only us, but even cultivators at the Body Integration Stage will have to flee in panic." The cultivator's friend quickly grabbed his sleeve, pulled him onto the Flying Shuttle, and hurriedly left.

Following the Five-Clawed Dragon Whale, one after another, Savage Beasts emerged from the Kuanglong River, gathering in ever-growing numbers, forming a dark, overwhelming mass.

With so many Water Attribute Savage Beasts gathered together, the celestial phenomena changed, with winds and clouds rising and Thunder rolling in.

"Roar!!"

The Five-Clawed Dragon Whale seemed to have become the king of Savage Beasts. After a long roar, the army of Savage Beasts began to move rapidly along the Kuanglong River towards the location of Jinyun Temple.

Some Savage Beasts lurked in the water, some flew in the air, and many more floated on the surface, connecting the sky and the earth, like a black tide that destroyed everything, ruthlessly crushing all obstacles in its path. From afar, it was an extremely magnificent sight.

Yang Tianyou captured this scene through Zhiming's perspective, and he muttered, "Those who reap what they sow."

He truly hadn't expected that the Beast-Attracting Incense, enhanced by the Strange Refining Unification Pills, would be so potent. Even Savage Beast of the Five-Clawed Dragon Whale level couldn't resist the temptation and awoke from its slumber. Besides that, there were seven other Eighth Tier Savage Beasts, bringing the total to nearly a hundred. There were countless Savage Beast below the Sixth Tier. If Jinyun Temple didn't have any powerful trump cards, it would probably be in serious trouble this time.

Of course, for Yang Tianyou, the worse the fate of Jinyun Temple, the better, ideally it would be completely wiped out. Although the probability of that is not high, after all, if you can't win, can't you just run away?

It's understandable that Jinyun Temple couldn't withstand such a beast tide; the Court would at most reprimand them, but wouldn't take any punitive measures.

"Looks like I need to add a little something extra for them!" Yang Tianyou thought to himself.

"Hmm... the distance is still too far. How about we just put the Beast-Attracting Incense inside Jinyun Temple? But wouldn't that be a bit too extreme?"

Many thoughts collided in his mind, but in the end, Yang Tianyou chose the more ruthless approach.

The greatest respect we can show our enemies is to send them into the Reincarnation. As the saying goes, if you don't go to hell, who will? I believe that Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva would be very willing to accept these disciples and followers.

"Go! Quietly move the Beast-Attracting Incense. Don't let the monks of Jinyun Temple find it before the beast horde arrives!" Yang Tianyou waved his sleeves, releasing the Void Worm and the Formless Insect, a golden duo. The two spirit insects quickly disappeared into the Spatial Ripples.

Meanwhile, at Jinyun Temple.

Yunchu Chu returned to the main hall, and Yun Hai hurriedly asked, "Is everything arranged properly?"

A strange glint flashed in Yunchu's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Junior Brother, rest assured, everything is arranged. We're just waiting for the beast tide to arrive; the Yang Household will surely suffer heavy losses!"

"Hahaha, that's only right. The little Yang Household dares to compete with Blackstone Prefecture and my Jinyun Temple for supremacy. They should be taught a lesson they won't forget."

"Amitabha, well said, well said. It's a pity that the Mortals and low-level Cultivators under the Yang Household's command have been innocently implicated by the Yang Household. It's truly pitiful and lamentable. After the beast tide passes, this old monk will definitely recite the Diamond Sutra deliver the souls of the dead and send them to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to be with Buddha!!" The old monk Yunkong put his hands together, his face showing a sorrowful expression. His compassionate demeanor made it seem as if he was not the one who had taken out the Beast-Attracting Incense.

Yang Tianyou, observing the movements of Jinyun Temple from the Puppet's perspective, could only admit his inferiority upon seeing the old monk Yunkong's demeanor. Even Innate Spirit Treasure couldn't penetrate such a facade, could it?

When it comes to shamelessness, one must look to the Buddhist Sect monks.

However, at that moment, a middle-aged monk stumbled into the main hall to report.

His face was deathly pale, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Seeing this, Yun Hai shouted, "You insolent fool! How can you be so impatient? What kind of behavior is this?"

The middle-aged monk, however, wore a mournful expression and said, "Great-Uncle, please come quickly! For some unknown reason, a massive Savage Beast tide has appeared on the Kuanglong River, including some Eighth Tier Savage Beasts."

Upon hearing this, Yun Hai was overjoyed. He hadn't expected the Beast-Attracting Incense to be so effective, attracting a large-scale Savage Beast tide in such a short time. As expected, Senior Brother Yunkong was truly resourceful.

So he shouted again, "Even if it's a beast tide, it's not coming for our Jinyun Temple, what's the panic?!"

However, Yunkong's expression turned serious. He knew the effects of the Beast-Attracting Incense best; logically, it shouldn't be working so quickly.

Sure enough, the middle-aged monk added, "Great-Uncle, that horde of Savage Beasts is heading straight for our Jinyun Temple. It won't be long before they surge along the Jinshan River."

"What??"

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Body Integration Cultivators were greatly alarmed. Yun Hai grabbed the middle-aged monk by the collar and said sternly and fearfully, "Did you see clearly? If you dare to lie about the enemy's situation, beware of the sect's rules!!"

"Reporting to my Great-Uncle, I've seen it clearly, it's Savage Beast tide! If you don't believe me, go to the warning Formation and you'll see!" the middle-aged monk hurriedly said.

Upon hearing this, Yun Hai vanished from the hall in a flash, and the other three Nascent Body Integration Cultivators quickly followed.

For a major power, surveillance and detection Formations are essential, allowing the sect to maintain tighter control over its territories.

Before the Formation, the figure of Monk Yun Hai appeared, his eyes wide with anger, staring intently at the Spiritual Qi projection in front of him.

When Yun Hai saw the densely packed Savage Beasts, he felt a chill in his heart. Even if he were to fall into such a beast tide, he wouldn't last long before being torn to shreds.

"Is the beast tide really heading towards our Jinyun Temple?"

Yun Hai asked again.

A disciple, his lips trembling, replied, "Reporting to the Ancestor, it is indeed so. The beast tide is expected to reach Jinshan River in half an hour, and then travel upstream to Jinyun Temple in an hour!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Hai's vision went black. He glanced at the Spiritual Qi projection in front of him and couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if Jinyun Temple were really surrounded by these Savage Beasts.

At this moment, Yunkong brought Yunchu to the Formation Hall.

Yun Hai strode forward, glaring angrily at Yunchu, and said, "What kind of mess did you make? Why didn't the Savage Beast tide attack the Yang Household, but instead came to attack my Jinyun Temple?"

How would I know?

Yunchu angrily said, "I followed the established plan exactly, who knew it would turn out like this?"

"Did you set up Concealment Array?" Yunqi quickly asked.

"Of course I made the arrangements, how could I forget something like that?"

"Then why is the beast tide surging towards my Jinyun Temple? Give me an explanation!!" Yun Hai's fat trembled with anger, and Yunchu also looked wronged. The two started arguing.

They failed to notice the shocked and complex expressions on the faces of the other disciples in the main hall.

So, it turns out that Jinyun Temple actively harmed others, only to suffer the consequences?

Yunkong noticed this scene, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and then with a wave of his sleeve, he knocked the disciples unconscious and temporarily stored Grotto-Heaven Law Treasure.

"Alright, stop arguing. It seems we underestimated the Purple Moon Yang Household. We didn't expect them to react so quickly, managing to move the Beast-Attracting Incense near my Jinyun Temple in such a short time. It seems they want to use their own methods against us! Hehe, they're quite decisive!" A glint of light flashed in the old monk Yunkong's eyes as he guessed the Yang Household's move.

Yun Hai and Yunchu also stopped arguing.

Yun Hai said anxiously, "Senior brother, what should we do? Such a powerful beast tide, even if we can stop it, will come at a huge cost."

Let me first observe it with my Spirit Treasure.

Yunkong said calmly, then took out a Copper Mirror, chanted a few incantations, and the mirror emitted a beam of spiritual light. Soon, another mirror appeared above the beast tide, reflecting all the scenes.

The moment he saw the Five-Clawed Dragon Whale, even the old monk Yunkong couldn't help but tremble, almost dropping the mirror to the ground.

Yun Hai's face turned green, and his expression was extremely ugly.

"It's actually Five-Clawed Dragon Whale! This is troublesome; we can't stop it at all!" Yunqi muttered to himself.

Yunchu also had a grim expression.

"Senior brother, what should we do next? Are we really going to hold them off?" Yunqi asked hesitantly. After seeing the Five-Clawed Dragon Whale, he had completely lost confidence in resisting the beast tide. This was an unparalleled ferocious beast capable of fighting against Bandit Cultivator. For ordinary Body Integration Cultivator stage, facing it would be suicide. Moreover, there were other Eighth Tier Savage Beasts in the Savage Beast tide. Even with the support of the Formation system set up by the ancestors of Jinyun Temple, facing such a destructive tide, the odds were against them.

The old monk Yunkong looked at his fellow disciples and slowly said, "Of course we must block them!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several Body Integration Cultivators changed slightly, but the next sentence from the old monk Yunkong put their minds at ease.

"However, we can't just hold out indefinitely. Let's send our personal disciples and Core Disciples out first, and store all the resources in our Spirit Abode or spatial treasures. We need to hold out for at least a few hours before making a retreat. Otherwise, if the Court holds us accountable, they will directly take back Jinyun Mountain."

"As long as we hold out for a while, put on a show, and suffer some casualties, the Court will naturally stop pursuing the matter. After all, this beast tide has exceeded our capabilities."

"Good!!" Yunchu and the others nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Yang Tianyou's lips curled into a mysterious smile as he whispered, "Trying to run? Do you think you can escape?"
