Sweeping Away the Outer Gods

Before everyone's eyes, the "Great Wisdom Chan Master" who had been ascending was devoured by demons.

The faith of Hangzhou's people collapsed in an instant.

They could only stare blankly as the five rampaging demons in the sky plunged downward.

Meanwhile, the evil ghosts originally suppressed by Great Wisdom Chan Master gradually began to riot as well.

"Wretches, how dare you harm people here!" At that moment, two Daoists suddenly flew in with a great host of Daoist priests.

At their head was a plump, round-faced Daoist. With a touch to his brow, a cloud of light over an acre in size rose from the crown of his head.

The cloud-light blazed as brightly as fire, with five-colored radiant rays flashing like five enormous waves, surging back and forth within it in an endless cycle.

This was the Five Qi Returning to the Origin, clear proof of having attained Earth Immortal status.

Within the five-colored luminous cloud appeared a perfectly round, glittering flaming treasure pearl.

It flew out and struck at the five rampaging demons, suppressing them within the pearl in just a few blows before returning to the cloud-light.

The other Daoist, who looked like a youth carved from white jade, spread the fingers of one hand wide.

A light of a different color flashed over each finger. As he clenched his hand—

The five lights converged and shot forth from his palm. A thunderclap split the clear sky.

Without Great Wisdom Chan Master's suppression, the countless vengeful souls that were about to run wild were jolted still by the thunder.

Wisps of black qi rose from them, while their half-real, half-illusory forms twisted without cease, as though the lightning were about to blast them apart.

Seizing the chance, a golden treasure wheel rose above the young Daoist's head.
