The two left Lishan Laomu Temple, and Bai Suzhen asked Jiang Hao, "Husband, do you have any plans for the debate?"
"Fa Hai will invite the various Buddhist sects to support him. I've already contacted the different Daoist sects, and I also plan to invite the Demon Race to watch."
Bai Suzhen said in surprise, "Inviting the Daoist schools, Buddhist schools, and Demon Race alike—this debate between you and Fa Hai will surely shake the world!"
When Fa Hai returned to Golden Mountain Temple, he immediately ordered invitations sent to every Buddhist sect, announcing that a grand Buddhist-Daoist debate would be held at Golden Mountain Temple two months later and inviting them to attend.
Fa Hai himself went to the main hall, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, and closed his eyes in thought.
The grand Buddhist-Daoist debate would be about demons.
The reason he had agreed to this debate was not merely because he had been wary of harming Jiang Hao that day and had not dared to act. There was another reason buried in his heart: the vision he had once seen. Jiang Hao had pointed out that he was the reincarnation of the great serpent deity of the Eight Dragon Gods, and that he had chosen reincarnation and cultivation anew only because he despised his identity as a demon.
Had his previous life truly been a demon?
Did he reject the Demon Race so fiercely because he was desperate to sever all ties with it?
And then there was the question of what exactly he should do about his Inner Demon.
Fa Hai had deeply studied Buddhist teachings and could not be called evil-hearted. Everything he did was directed only at demons; it could be said that this was his obsession.
Fa Hai suddenly gained an insight.
