Chapter 359: Destined to be with my Buddha

“Run! Don’t look back!”

“Take the news of my death to Kyoto City and find someone you can trust! If my itinerary is leaked, there must be someone from Nanfo inside Kyoto City who is behind it!”

Chi Zhailuo didn’t know how long he had been running. His strength was being exhausted bit by bit. He felt numb all over. Only Ji Wuchang’s voice kept echoing in his mind.

She wanted to cry, but now she didn’t even have time to cry.

“I have to take the news to Kyoto City…but there are traitors in Kyoto City, who can I ask for help?”

“Sister…Sister’s master seems to be quite capable, but can he be trusted?”

Chi Zhailuo had her doubts in her heart. She had not had much contact with the man named Zhao Qi’an. She only knew that her sister seemed to admire him very much.

In my sister’s mouth, the man named Zhao Qian’an seemed to be omnipotent.

Chi Zhailuo has no choice. Now she only has her sister to rely on in this world!
She wants to go back to Kyoto City and bring the news to Zhao Qi’an!
……

Longhu Pass, Feiying Mountain.

At the top of the mountain stood a monk.

The monk stood barefoot on the gravel-covered mountain top with a calm expression, looking into the distance at the Chi Zhai Luo running wildly in the mountains and forests.

He knew that there was a fish that had escaped the net, and he also knew that as long as he reached out his hand, he could catch it.

But he couldn’t take action.

Because going further ahead is the territory of Daqian.

The armillary sphere of the Daqian State Master monitors Jiuzhou. Once a top-ranking strongman takes action in the territory of Daqian, it will be impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of the Daqian State Master.

Finally, the monk just stood on the top of the mountain and chanted the Buddha’s name:
“The Tathagata is seen in all the ten directions and three times.”

He no longer paid attention to the fish that had escaped, turned around and looked to the side.

Ji Wuchang had already fallen to the ground and was like a puddle of mud, with not a single bone intact in his body.

The giant sword “Duanyue” that Zhao Qian’an gave him fell on an empty space nearby. The incomparably hard weapon was already covered with spider-web-like cracks.

Ji Wuchang was seriously injured, but he did not die.

Even…he is still conscious at this moment.

At this moment, he could only lie on the ground and watch the monk walking towards him.

“Donor, you have a connection with my Buddha.”

“Fuck you, fate!”

Ji Wuchang cursed and spat at the monk.

The monk did not dodge or avoid the spit, and said calmly: “I have endured a hundred filths in the world to become a Buddha, so why should I be afraid of the filth in this world? Although you have a connection with my Buddha, your body and mind are still filthy. You should kowtow in front of the Buddha and recite the sutras. After three years, you will achieve something.”

He took off the cloth bag from his waist, opened the bag and faced Ji Wuchang, then pointed his finger at Ji Wuchang.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew up from the mouth of the bag.

Ji Wuchang’s body began to slowly shrink and deform, and was eventually sucked into the cloth bag.

The monk tied the bag tightly and tied it back around his waist. Then he faced south and bowed with his hands clasped together: “I will not fail the Buddha Mother’s trust.”

A breeze blew by, and the monk’s figure gradually disappeared in the wind.

……

At the same time, in Kyoto.

Zhao Qi’an didn’t know what had happened to Ji Wuchang yet, and at this moment he was meeting Ji Haoyu.

“Haiqing, you can’t imagine what a great thing I have accomplished!” Ji Haoyu was very excited when they met, and he kept people in suspense when he spoke.

Zhao Qian’an’s heart skipped a beat. He was now a little worried that Ji Haoyu would play the piano carelessly.

But on the surface, he still cooperated and asked, “What great event has Your Highness accomplished?”

Ji Haoyu smiled and said, “Do you still remember those warriors I sent to Jingzhou before?”

“Of course I remember.”

“Among them there is a woman named Hong Yuerong. You should still remember her.”

Ji Haoyu said with emotion: “I never thought that Hong Yuerong was actually the daughter of the Poison King Hong Luan. Now that the news of the Holy Fetus has spread in Jingzhou, the Poison King Hong Luan is also tempted. Now he is willing to join me and help me win the position of crown prince.”

Zhao Qi’an understood immediately: “This Poison King wants the Holy Fetus?”

Ji Haoyu nodded: “It’s nothing. The Holy Fetus is of no use to me. They can fight for it if they want. Do you know how many people Hongluan brought to join her? Three thousand people!”

Zhao Qi’an frowned slightly.

Now that the news of the Holy Fetus in Jingzhou has been released, countless powerful people have gathered in Jingzhou, wanting to seize the Holy Fetus.

It was obvious that Hong Luan wanted to use Ji Haoyu’s power to compete with others. This undoubtedly dragged Ji Haoyu into the water and made him create many powerful enemies both openly and secretly.

But now looking at Ji Haoyu’s expression, he must have already agreed. Whatever Zhao Qi’an said at this time would only make Ji Haoyu unhappy.

At this point, Zhao Qi’an had no choice but to say, “Congratulations, Your Highness.”

He had no intention of interfering with what was happening with Ji Haoyu, and would just let the Second Prince do whatever he wanted.

Ji Haoyu couldn’t tell whether the words were good or bad. He just thought that Zhao Qi’an was sincerely congratulating him, and he couldn’t help but smile.

“With these 3,000 Qiang people, I now have a strong army under my command. However, Ling Fang is too tough. I am worried that if I negotiate with him, he will forcibly recruit my troops. What should I do?”

With the death of Lin Wenxu, the people that Wu Yong had sent to Jingzhou could no longer be concealed.

Everyone knew how strong Ling Fang was. The people sent by Zuo Xiang were forced to do hard labor by him, which really offended Zuo Xiang.

Fortunately, Wu Yong had a stroke, otherwise, after the Jingzhou incident was resolved, there would have been a lot of excitement to watch in the court.

Ji Haoyu didn’t dare to offend Ling Fang, but was worried about Ling Fang’s strength. Now that he had so many people under his command staying in Jingzhou, he didn’t know what to do.

Zhao Qi’an suggested: “Even if we follow General Ling’s arrangements and follow the procedures, we can still gain considerable military merits, which is also an option.”

Ji Haoyu said with a bitter face: “I would like to, but Hongluan is unwilling. She is afraid that once the holy fetus appears in the world, the Patrol Heavenly Observatory will take it away.”

Zhao Qi’an had no choice but to say, “In that case, let’s do it alone.”

“But the traces of the Salvation Church are hard to find in Jingzhou. Without the information from the imperial envoy, how can we find the whereabouts of the Holy Fetus?”

In the end, Zhao Qi’an was unable to give a suitable answer.

Ji Haoyu was extremely distressed, and also felt that Zhao Qi’an was a little perfunctory and absent-minded today.

But he himself couldn’t come up with a solution, and since others couldn’t think of one, there was no way to blame him.

Ji Haoyu could only sigh and avoid the topic, and asked Zhao Qi’an: “Now there is only half a month left before the crown prince election, when will you leave for Jingzhou?”

Zhao Qi’an was planning to go to Jingzhou in person, but now was not the right time.

Firstly, there was no progress from Zhao Guanxiang’s side yet, and secondly, he was waiting for his own breakthrough.

Now Zhao Nishang is on the verge of a breakthrough. After she crosses the barrier of martial arts, the feedback from her cultivation will be enough for Zhao Qi’an to add a purple line.

Now, Zhao Qi’an has realized that Purple Pattern’s Hongmeng Purple Qi is the only way to deal with the evil methods of the Salvation Cult. That is why he plans to use this thunder tribulation to refine more Heavenly Tribulation Pills in case of need.
