"Your plan is to use the demons to replace the Qian Dao Palace?"
Li Hao narrowed his eyes and stared at him. Piecing together everything he knew, he realized that although the demons' invasion of Great Yu was part of a larger tide, this Buddha Master had clearly been fanning the flames behind the scenes.
That made his attempt to influence Li Hao through Old Feng understandable.
When Li Hao was a child, the Buddha Master had used that mother and son as pawns in an attempt to control the Divine General Residence. Li Hao had been a little pebble in his path, a slight obstruction that had rendered the Poison Pill useless.
Now, Li Hao had the strength to defend Great Yu and had become a major obstacle. Thus, the Buddha Master wanted to use Old Feng to destroy his relationship with the imperial court. His true target had always been the entire Divine Dynasty.
The state religion revered by the Great Yu Dynasty was the Dao Gate-the Daoist temples throughout the land, headed by the Qian Dao Palace-while the Buddhist Sect could only settle for second place.
He seemed to contend with nothing in the world, but in truth, he wanted to contend for the greatest prize of all.
Hearing Li Hao's words, the Buddha Master smiled without answering.
"Out of my way, bald ass!"
Just then, an angry shout came from outside.
A razor-sharp sword intent appeared immediately afterward, and the Ninth Prince, Jiang Lichen, charged into the Buddha Hall with his hair hanging loose.
When he saw the Buddha Master seated on the Purple-Gold Lotus Platform, his brows lifted. He sneered, then turned to Li Hao.
"If you need this old man's help, just say the word. As it happens, I've never sparred with him either.
