Chapter 528: Chapter 391 Coming out of Seclusion, Eradicating Buddhism!_3

But clearly there wasn’t any.

The other party had not sent out any news at all, as if all the burdens were weighing on his shoulders.

In just half an hour, Chen Yuan had caught up on everything that had happened since he went into seclusion. Generally speaking, none of it was too related to him; there was no need for excessive concern.

“The Ascension Battle is about to begin. When do you plan to set out for the East Sea, my lord? I’ve heard that many have already started making their way there.” Lady Xu picked up a piece of pastry and placed it into Chen Yuan’s mouth as she softly asked.

“Hmm… in a few days,” he replied.

He had emerged from seclusion today, the twenty-fourth of September, with half a month left until the Ascension Battle on the ninth of October. There was plenty of time, and although he would have to travel across Qing and Yun provinces, for a martial artist like him, this was no matter at all.

Arriving too early was equally inconsequential.

“That’s right, send someone to deliver a message to Zhang Xuan.” They had agreed to travel to Martial Emperor City together, and Chen Yuan would certainly not go back on his word. Moreover,

his background was profound, and it was possible that a powerful protector was secretly watching over him; his safety was highly likely.

After all, Chen Yuan did have a few enemies.

He had a rough idea of the Daoists from the Taoist Divine Palace; unless absolutely necessary, they would definitely not show their true bodies to avoid affecting their plans.

Unless Chen Yuan strongly insisted, that might be a different story.

Of course, that was not certain, as they might secretly wait until Chen Yuan obtained the Ascending Immortal Fruit before taking any action.

“Yes, your subordinate will send someone immediately,” Han Yu bowed and complied.

“There’s no rush. I have just left seclusion, and everyone should enjoy a few drinks,” Chen Yuan said with a hearty laugh.

Having sat in meditation for nearly two months, he, too, was becoming impatient. Having just emerged from seclusion and now having some free time, he intended to rest well for a couple of days.

It was like a field that had been left fallow for too long and needed to be plowed; otherwise, it might not yield a good harvest… but continuous cultivation could also risk spoiling it.

“Alright.”

Most of the time, Chen Yuan was amiable in their presence, never putting on too much of an air. This was one of the reasons they felt comfortable around him.

They were in the midst of talking when suddenly, a Heavenly Patrol Guard knelt on the ground to report, having been allowed to enter.

“What is the matter?” Chen Yuan inquired.

“My lord, several monks from Jinhua Temple are here seeking an audience with Mr. Du,” the guard reported respectfully.

“Jinhua Temple?” Chen Yuan frowned, turning his gaze to Du Ming to inquire,

“What’s the situation with Jinhua Temple? Why do they want to see you?”

Du Ming bowed and responded,

“My lord, this happened last month. Jinhua Temple is a force that moved here from another state. Their abbot is a Reach Profound Peak expert,

wishing to establish a new sect in Nanling Prefecture. They have been scouting the terrain and hope that the government will agree and recognize them, but I have not consented thus far.”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly,

“Well done. Tell them to leave.”

Ever since he took sole control of Tangshan Prefecture, numerous other state forces had been eyeing the prosperous Tangshan greedily,

but due to the fear of Chen Yuan, none had dared to make a move.

Especially as Chen Yuan’s might continued to grow, naturally, no one dared to move into Tangshan openly.

“This precedent must not be set. Tangshan is under my control and cannot accommodate anyone else. Understand?” Chen Yuan spoke with a heavy tone.

Once such a precedent was established, it would undoubtedly attract more forces to come, potentially leading to disputes and even, in his suspicious mind, attracting significant attention from various powers regarding Jinhua Temple’s intentions.

If allowed, they would swarm in.

Even if he chose to exterminate them, it would be troublesome.

Du Ming furrowed his brow and reluctantly said,

“My lord, I have refrained from taking drastic measures because Jinhua Temple is a subsidiary of Bright Temple, and it seems to have ties to Spirit Mountain. Moreover…”

“Bright Temple!”

Chen Yuan’s gaze became stern, understanding Du Ming’s concerns. Indeed, within Qingzhou, Bright Temple was a top-notch force among top forces,

even more powerful than the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Their influence was terrifying; Du Ming’s reticence stemmed from not wanting to provoke too much enmity. Although Chen Yuan was strong, he was certainly not at a point where he could contend with Bright Temple.

“Moreover what?” Chen Yuan pressed on.

“Moreover, based on the information I have, Jinhua Temple’s relationship with the Japan Martial Artists is not very clear, which is why I dared not issue any rash commands.”

“Hmm?”

Chen Yuan frowned,

“How are they related to the Japan Martial Artists?”

“Jinhua Temple was originally established in Yun Yang Prefecture. According to my investigations, the temple enshrines the Longevity Altar for many Japan Martial Artists, and it is said that Japan Martial Artists frequently visit Jinhua Temple to pay tribute.”

Yun Yang Prefecture was near Tangshan Prefecture, and those disciples from the Qingcheng Sword Sect whom Chen Yuan had slain were Martial Artists from Yun Yang.

“What!!!”

Chen Yuan’s gaze turned icy, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

There was no denying his disdain for those Japanese pirates, but he had not encountered them often. Unexpectedly, they had come to his Tangshan Prefecture,

which was simply unforgivable!

“What your subordinate said is true.”

“Those contemptible piratical scum dare to erect Longevity Altars on my Central Plains’ soil; these bald monks truly deserve death. Has there been no reaction from Yun Yang Prefecture at all?”

“No reaction. It is said that many Yun Yang Martial Artists have gone to pay tribute, hoping for Jinhua Temple’s blessing.”

“Hah…”

Chen Yuan sneered,

“Are there no men among the mighty Yun Yang Martial Artists, to let some despicable pirates be honored on our Central Plains?”

“Bang!”

With a strike, Chen Yuan shattered the wooden table in front of him.

Seeing Chen Yuan’s anger, Han Yu and the others quickly bowed in front of him,

“Please calm your anger, my lord.”

“Someone come, by my command, those monks from Jinhua Temple, count them one by one. No matter their background, have their heads chopped off and cast into the capital city’s watchtowers!”

“From now on, Tangshan Prefecture will prohibit Buddhism; no monk is allowed to set foot in this land, violators will be executed!”

So infuriated, I couldn’t help but want to eradicate Buddhism!
