Every Cause Has Its Effect, and I Am Your Retribution
"What?!"
Seeing this scene, the power of the Buddha's concentrated will let out a low cry.
Instead of the surprise and unexpected feeling one might expect, it was more like a mixture of shock and fear.
This was somewhat unexpected for Lu Changzhi.
This guy in front of me, despite being Buddhist Order, is actually more afraid of my current appearance.
No wonder the system's options said to terrify this old Buddha.
"He really has something to hide!"
As Lu Changzhi pondered this, the will that the Old Buddha had condensed did not cease.
However, it instead exhibited an even more frenzied attitude.
Judging from the momentum, it no longer merely intended to torment Lu Changzhi's soul, but rather seemed eager to destroy him.
Lu Changzhi simply flipped his hand in response.
The next moment, Xuyun's wooden fish appeared in front of him.
This small wooden fish has endured countless years of trials and tribulations, and has been imbued with the power of Buddhism.
In short, the moment it appeared, the Buddhist power here began to vibrate, converging towards the wooden fish in the darkness.
Damn it!
If the Buddha's thoughts just now were merely madness, then now they are panic.
At this moment, the power it had gathered was surging towards Lu Changzhi.
Faced with the fierce attack, Lu Changzhi gently raised his hand and tapped the wooden fish.
Thump!
As the sound rang out, the surrounding void seemed to tremble violently.
The surging attack, a mixture of Buddhist light and black energy, abruptly stopped the moment the wooden fish sound rang out. Then, the black energy melted away instantly, like snow meeting a blazing fire.
The sound caused invisible ripples to spread throughout the surrounding void. As it passed, all those who approached shuddered, the Buddhist light in their eyes vanished, and they all collapsed to the ground.
"Is it that effective?"
Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.
The wooden fish's suppression of the old Buddha's mind was quite strong.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi started knocking again.
"No!"
A sound of fear rang out from the old Buddha's mouth.
A surge of power rippled within his body, as if he wanted to dissipate the power he had gathered, yet he was unable to do so.
As soon as the first knocking sound rang out, it was as if an invisible force bound him to his spot in the void of heaven and earth.
What terrified him even more was the astonishing Buddhist power he felt within the wooden fish drum.
This kind of Buddhist power is not the kind he uses in the conventional sense, but the true power of Buddhism. The difference between the two is as vast as heaven and earth.
Even more terrifying, he saw the figure of a monk, who, though sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemed to see through the heavens and earth, as if trying to see right through him.
All of this filled him with extreme fear.
Why would this orthodox Buddhist Order master appear here?
Could it be that they came for me?
An overwhelming sense of fear surged into the heart of the old Buddha.
He was not at a loss for what to do because he had never seen anything like it before; on the contrary, he was capable of handling even dangerous situations.
But it is precisely this that intensifies the fear.
Because, with such a powerful and orthodox Buddhist Order master, the Buddhist power he once possessed was no longer under his control.
And his own strength, which he was good at, was now like a mountain weighing ten thousand pounds, unable to move even an inch in the face of this Buddha's power.
Bang bang bang.
Lu Changzhi continued knocking, and at the same time, he spoke up.
Although he didn't understand these Buddhist and Daoist concepts, he would still say certain things.
Every cause has its effect, and your retribution is me...
As the wooden fish was struck repeatedly, the Buddhist energy in the surrounding space became increasingly concentrated.
To Lu Changzhi's surprise, the wooden fish did not generate a powerful attack like spiritual energy simply because he was striking it.
And the old Buddha's will, with his constant striking, began to crumble madly.
It never made a sound again until it completely disappeared.
Lu Changzhi stopped what he was doing and began to sense things again.
The power of the Buddha's will that he had just gathered has indeed vanished.
Moreover, the objects that were previously present at the location of the array base have now been completely shattered into dust.
"This is... somewhat amazing."
Lu Changzhi looked at the wooden fish in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He actually took care of the other party just by knocking?
This old Buddha, even though he's supposed to be called "Buddha," is really pathetic.
"Pretty good."
Putting the wooden fish away and turning off the Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Lu Changzhi was very satisfied as he listened to the sound of the Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere effect upgrading.
It seems that the other party has been successfully frightened.
Unfortunately, the opponent was merely a wisp of willpower, not the true entity. The destruction of the willpower only affected the individual to some extent, but did not fundamentally harm them.
Otherwise, if the other party's true form were still present, one could at least offer a helping hand at the end.
Click, click.
Suddenly, a faint cracking sound began to ring out.
Lu Changzhi extended his thoughts outwards.
Above the palace, the massive statue, now lacking sufficient support, was beginning to show cracks that were rapidly becoming more dense.
In the Thirteenth City, faced with such a change, countless monks stopped to look, their faces showing disbelief.
The statue's halo has faded, cracks are appearing, and it looks like it's about to collapse.
What happened?!
In contrast, the many non- Buddhist Order people in the city paid no attention to the changes to the statues.
Most of them fainted the moment the Buddha's mental power completely dissipated.
The remaining, more capable individuals mostly seemed to have just woken from a dream, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Boom!
Finally, when the cracks climbed to the point where the statue could no longer hold on, the towering sculpture collapsed completely under the watchful eyes of countless monks, sending up a cloud of dust that filled the city.
"This is going to cause quite a stir."
Below the palace, sensing the commotion above, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.
"However, with this commotion, it probably Wujie returns."
Upon realizing this, Lu Changzhi's expression became somewhat strange.
Had he unintentionally played the role of a benefactor for Qin Jiuxiao once again?
You should know that Wujie was chasing after Qin Jiuxiao over there.
My current actions will most likely bring him back, which will significantly reduce the pressure on Qin Jiuxiao who is being hunted down.
While Buddhist Order Wujie might not be able to handle it, an ordinary monk should be able to manage.
"Of course, it's not necessarily true that they haven't been caught yet," Lu Changzhi said softly, his gaze sweeping over the people present.
If they get caught, they'll probably be back even faster.
"Fine, I'll play the VIP to the end."
After thinking it over, Lu Changzhi made up his mind.
With a wave of his hand, he used his spiritual power to sweep up everyone present and stuff them into sacks.
If Qin Jiuxiao had managed to avoid being caught, the pressure would have been significantly reduced.
If, unfortunately, I've already been caught by Wujie, then now I'll take these things with me to help Qin Jiuxiao gain Wujie's sole favor.
I'm determined to be this important person, no matter what!
Just as we were about to leave, the system voice suddenly sounded:
"Congratulations, host! Your passive income has yielded a new opportunity from Qin Han. Would you like to take a look?"
"Hmm?" Lu Changzhi's expression shifted:
"Qin Han is pregnant?"
"Check."
With a flash of light, information about the opportunity appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.
When Lu Changzhi saw the time it took for Qin Han to obtain this opportunity, he was stunned for a moment and didn't even continue reading the following content.
"System, what's going on?"
