These elders all appear to be extremely powerful.
Since the other party has already said that Ancestor Litian has perished, then it must be true.
This was what Su Mu was thinking at that moment.
"Now that Ancestor Litian has perished, let's break the seal and retrieve this body."
As he spoke, the elders of the Compassionate Ferry Sect were about to make their move.
"That's right. Now that we've taken his body, it's time to bring him back to our Mysterious Yin Cult. After all, he's our sect's patriarch, and he's suffered so much injustice outside."
At this point, Mi Hongling's martial uncle seemed somewhat saddened.
However, the words within were a reminder to the people nearby, informing them that this physical body belonged to their Mysterious Yin Cult, and that the others should not have any designs on it.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people standing nearby changed slightly.
How could we allow someone to take such a powerful ancestor's physical body back with us?
They had their own ideas, and naturally, they couldn't tolerate this when they heard these words.
"What are you saying? Ancestor Litian has already perished, and this operation cost us all so much effort. It's not right for the Mysterious Yin Cult to just sit back and reap the benefits!"
"That's right. The treasures of the fallen should naturally belong to the destined one. How can they be taken away by your Mysterious Yin Cult like this? Do you think we don't exist?"
"If the Mysterious Yin Cult harbors such thoughts, then they are mistaken!"
The others standing nearby spoke in stern tones, clearly showing their dissatisfaction.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu felt that these people were likely to start fighting.
However, this is something to be welcomed.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mu cupped his hands in greeting, "Since you seniors are here, there's nothing more for this junior to do. I'll go out and see what's going on outside."
The people standing nearby completely ignored Su Mu's words.
A Demonic Dao holy son—that was someone they had supported. This holy son had no real foundation, and replacing him was just a matter of their own whim.
Therefore, they didn't seem to care too much about Su Mu.
It's just a chess piece; there's no need to care so much about it.
Seeing that these people were still looking at each other and ignoring him completely, Su Mu didn't say anything, turned around and flew away.
As he flew away, Su Mu glanced at the physical body in the middle, but the body remained completely still.
It looks as if they have truly perished.
Mi Hongling, who was standing to the side, also knew that this was no longer something she could interfere with, so she flew away as well.
When Su Mu arrived outside, he saw that almost all the monks in the temple were dead.
Behind the temple, blood was everywhere, and many Buddha statues were stained with blood.
Seeing this, Su Mu didn't stand on ceremony at all and jumped directly onto the Buddha statue to begin absorbing the Buddhist Fortune.
Having just wasted so many Golden Lotus, it's time to collect some interest here.
The entire ancient temple is gone just like that; its Fortune should have been enough to compensate for the loss of the Golden Lotus.
Mi Hongling flew out, and seeing that the fighting had stopped, she flew to Su Mu's side.
As Su Mu Su Mu the Fortune here, the Buddha statues in the ancient temple, which originally had a warm jade color, were now accompanied by golden light.
At this point, cracks began to appear, and some of the golden statues even shattered completely.
Mi Hongling was somewhat surprised by this scene. She knew that Su Mu's Cultivation Method could absorb Fortune, but she did not expect it to be so powerful.
If it were any other Devil Cultivator who came, they probably wouldn't be able to destroy the ancient temple so thoroughly.
As for the Buddha statues and other items left here, Buddhist Sect masters can come and take them away to mitigate some of the loss.
"Who do you think that body below belongs to?"
With nothing to do, Mi Hongling started chatting with Su Mu.
The battle here is over; the Demonic Dao path has already won.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu thought for a moment, then shook his head again.
"They never discussed ownership before, and now that this body is so readily available, figuring out who it belongs to is not so simple."
Su Mu was too lazy to guess who had gotten it.
To be honest, his strength is somewhat lacking.
If only I were stronger, I could have destroyed this physical body while I was down there.
However, this also makes them easier targets.
Su Mu thought about it for a moment, then put the thought out of his mind.
Things have already come to this, there's no need to dwell on it.
Mi Hongling glanced down and then sighed.
"I don't know what the final outcome will be."
Su Mu was still absorbing the ancient temple's Fortune. "No matter what, I should leave after I've absorbed all this Fortune."
"Where did you go?"
Mi Hongling was taken aback by Su Mu's words, not understanding why he wanted to leave.
"Judging from the appearance of these seniors, I have a feeling that they will fight. It is better to leave to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Besides, this matter is over, and I guess the experts from other places have already arrived."
"Leave early, and you might still be able to escape. If you stay too long and get surrounded, you'll have no chance of survival."
Su Mu said it casually.
What he said was just speculation.
Once the righteous guys found out that the Demonic Dao forces had touched the physical body of the Ancestor Litian, they felt that they wouldn't let these people leave easily.
It would be perfectly normal for the righteous faction to send countless experts to surround and intercept them.
When that time comes, someone like Su Mu, who has no background, will easily be abandoned.
Therefore, Su Mu felt it was best for her to leave as soon as possible.
At this point, another golden statue in the distance dimmed in comparison and then shattered.
Hearing this, Mi Hongling fell silent for a moment, and surprisingly, she also felt that what Su Mu said made a lot of sense.
This is, after all, the physical body of the Ancestor Litian; those righteous sects should know just how powerful this body is.
If they found out, someone would definitely come to stop them.
If they take it so easily, it will increase the strength of the Demonic Dao.
As for whether the senior members below will start fighting, judging from what happened just now, it seems quite possible.
While Mi Hongling was deep in thought, Su Mu had already absorbed all the Fortune.
Seeing that there were no other places left to miss, Su Mu stood up and was about to fly away.
There were still quite a few Devil Cultivator here, searching around, seemingly looking for some treasures or something.
An ancient temple like this naturally contains some treasures, and there are also plenty of Spirit Stone.
However, Su Mu dared not linger any longer. There were still experts from the Demonic Sect blocking the way on the outer perimeter, but things might change later.
Thinking of this, Su Mu transformed into a streak of light and flew away at lightning speed.
Upon seeing this, Mi Hongling's eyes flickered slightly before she stomped her foot and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from sight.
