"Crack!" A monk with a staff swung it down, Qin Yi slightly dodged and delivered a knee strike to the monk's abdomen, causing him to foam at the mouth and pass out.

"You don't even deserve to use a stick," Qin Yi said, suddenly reaching out his hand.

Another stick came from the other side, but he held it tightly. The monk tried to pull it out, but he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried, and his face turned red.

Qin Yi kicked him, sending him flying more than ten feet away, where he crashed heavily into a peach tree.

"What a pity for such a beautiful peach blossom."

In no time, a group of highly skilled monks lay unconscious on the ground. Qin Yi looked around, then turned to Jing Ze and said, "You handle this?"

Jing Ze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Qin Yi leaped into the air and headed straight for Hongfa Temple.

Jing Kong had already run away while the monk with the staff was blocking Qin Yi.

Qin Yi knew that there must be some arrangements made for the main venue inside the temple, but he was truly fearless at this moment.

He could sense that although Jing Kong was also at the eighth or ninth level of the Phoenix Realm, their cultivation levels were comparable, but the quality of their Law Power was vastly different. Both belonged to the stage of making the ethereal "Qi" visible, but if he was a solid, visible expanse of steam, Jing Kong was at most a wisp of thin mist; the two were simply not on the same level.

In terms of magical combat alone, he could probably crush them, but Daoist Arts was not actually his main reliance.

If someone doesn't dare to enter the temple despite such a huge gap in social standing, then their spiritual practice has been in vain.

Passing by the "Child Seeking Hall," Qin Yi paused briefly and flicked his finger, releasing a flame.

Not long after, tourists and pilgrims inside and outside the temple saw thick smoke rising from the direction of the Child Seeking Hall, with flames shooting into the sky. Someone shouted, "Fire! Fire!"

The temple was in complete chaos. The ordinary monks didn't think too much and immediately fetched water to put out the fire. Countless pilgrims and tourists also rushed in from nearby streams, intending to help put out the fire.

The moment they rushed into the Child Seeking Hall, everyone was stunned.

As the thick smoke rose, several pairs of monks and women ran out disheveled, and others rushed out wrapped in bedsheets, completely naked... As far as the eye could see, everything was white, and many people gaped, dropping the buckets they were holding.

The other monks who were putting out the fire felt a chill run down their spines, realizing something was wrong. "Esteemed benefactors, this is a misunderstanding. What you are seeing is an illusion, a mental illusion created by the Buddha..."

"Go to hell with your hallucinations!" A burly man pushed through the crowd, grabbed a monk, and started beating him. "My wife came to this dilapidated temple of yours, went home depressed, and committed suicide a few days later! I was wondering what happened, you'll pay for my wife's life!"

Chaos reigned outside the courtyard. Cries, shouts, chases, and flute playing filled the air. No one was even bothering to put out the fire.

Qin Yi quietly rescued several women who were under a spell and unable to leave, and placed them in the peach grove outside the temple. These innocent women shouldn't be allowed to be rushed in and observed; it was best to let them leave quietly.

After doing all this, Qin Yi turned and looked at the chaotic and disorganized Child Seeking Hall. He smiled slightly and stepped into the Zen courtyard behind the Zen Temple.

As soon as I stepped inside, I saw three old monks standing in a triangle, forming mudras and chanting Method Formula, while several alluring women dressed in extremely revealing attire danced around them, their ribbons fluttering in the air.

In that instant, the scenery within the Zen Temple seemed to change.

It's like being in the Pure Buddha Country, under the Bodhi Tree, where Buddhas chant, Celestial Maiden and dance, heavenly fragrance fills the air, a wondrous and enchanting scene. The Buddhist Light shines everywhere, warm and gentle, peaceful and serene.

Amidst this Buddhist Light and serene atmosphere, a venomous snake stealthily approaches from beneath one's feet.

Qin Yi remained expressionless, and with a flick of his wrists, two balls of flame ignited in his hands.

Then the flames surged left and right, and the raging tongues of fire instantly engulfed the venomous snake.

The screams of monks came from all sides, and the chanting of the Buddhas grew louder. In the illusion, sweet dew fell from the sky and extinguished the raging fire.

"Duh!"

The Buddha's angry voice erupted, like a hammer reverberating in one's soul. "Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"

Qin Yi smiled, without even using the Heart Cleansing Incantation. This was actually just a very basic mental influence, similar to the Soul-Capturing Technique in mortal martial arts. Those with weak wills could easily have their minds shaken and lose their fighting spirit.

However, it has had little impact on his cultivation.

And then, faint chanting echoed in my ears, "The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore..."

Repeatedly, hesitating and circling back and forth.

Qin Yi picked at his ear and suddenly said, "Stop playing these games, I'll show you something fun."

As he spoke, he took out three small silver ingots and tossed them into the air.

Suddenly, the silver transformed into three shiny, bald monks, nodding their heads as they chanted. "One monk carries water to drink, two monks share the burden, three monks have no water to drink..."

The sound of women around them couldn't help but chuckle.

Something extremely incongruous was mixed into the solemn Cihe benevolent Buddhist realm, which possessed the power of Buddha's wrath. The entire illusion paused for a moment, and then shattered with a crash.

Before him was still a Zen Temple, but the "Celestial Maiden" dance around him had long since stopped. Three old monks, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, stared at Qin Yi with wide eyes.

"Your cultivation is indeed profound, unaffected by mental delusion," Jing Kong said through This Old Monk. "But your solo intrusion into the temple is far too presumptuous. Let me offer you a final piece of advice: if you choose to leave now, we'll each go our separate ways; but if you remain obstinate, don't blame me for using Buddhist Treasure! Your nascent cultivation is no match for them!"

Qin Yi didn't answer, seemingly preparing some big move.

Jing Kong's expression turned stern as he slowly pulled out a golden female statue.

This female statue is dressed similarly to the surrounding "Celestial Maiden," all draped in light gauze. Although the colorful ribbons flutter and the statue appears ethereal, it exudes an extremely alluring charm at first glance.

A soft, murmuring sigh reached her ears. At the same time, the eyes of the "Celestial Maiden" became hazy, and their dance resumed, but it was no longer the peaceful dance of before; instead, it was filled with allure and seduction. Between the opening and closing of their cherry lips, soft breaths and low moans lingered in her ears, drawing her into her heart.

The Golden Statue to have transformed into human form, resembling a stunningly beautiful Celestial Maiden...

Qin Yi seemed to have completely fallen into Sea of Desire. His eyes were first blank, then revealed a clear lust. The flames in his hands, which were originally condensing fire, had dissipated. Instead, he trembled and embraced the woman who had been transformed from the Golden Statue.

The woman smiled alluringly, and her peach-blossom-like pupils slowly turned golden.

Qin Yi's movements became increasingly difficult, as if he wanted to resist but couldn't control himself.

Jing Kong laughed heartily, "Even a person with a pure heart can't escape being consumed by lust and tormented by inner demons under the influence of this Buddhist Treasure. Benefactor, you'd better not struggle anymore and obediently let the Celestial Maiden pluck you and transform you into our cultivation."

Qin Yi's eyes showed struggle, and he let out a sharp shout.

The female statue paused for a moment, and Qin Yi also stopped. It seemed that an invisible aura was swirling around it, indicating that Qin Yi's cultivation was locked in a stalemate with this Buddhist Treasure.

Jing Kong's expression changed; he hadn't expected this young man to be so steadfast in his cultivation. He gave a wink to the two old monks on his left and right, and the three of them leaped over together, striking Qin Yi's crown from different directions with their palms.

Qin Yi roared, finally wielding his Wolf Tooth Club, and swept it in a circle. The three monks' expressions turned fierce, each gathering Buddhist Light in their hands, and they struck the Wolf Tooth Club together.

Even so, the three old monks were no match for Qin Yi's outburst and were all swept away. Jing Kong, still in mid-air, suddenly roared, "Why haven't you made your move yet, benefactor? What are you waiting for?!"

Suddenly, a ghostly wail filled the air, as if countless vengeful spirits, accompanied by endless shadows, had suddenly entered this enchanting yet murderous intent aura and were coiling around Qin Yi's body.

The three old monks were surprised to see that Qin Yi's struggling gaze vanished instantly, replaced by a smile.

"Boom!"

At the very center of the battle, Qin Yi suddenly disappeared. All the thousands of ghostly cries crashed down on the female statue, and the Celestial Maiden floated away, transforming back into a Golden Statue.

At the same time, a snake sprang from the ground, quickly transforming back into Qin Yi's appearance after leaving the battle. It leaped towards the wall and slashed with its staff. "Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect, I've been playing dumb for so long, waiting for you!"
