Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 647 - 326: People of the Buddhist Sect_2

Some elders took the opportunity to inquire about this secret.

It should be known that the alliance between the "Soul-Controlling Sect" and the Buddhist Sect is the greatest secret.

Besides a few core elders, only the sect leader and the sect’s patriarch know the details clearly.

Others are simply not qualified to know this secret.

Recently, everyone in the "Soul-Controlling Sect" has been harboring a lot of grudges.

At the same time, twelve Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators suddenly fell, and according to rumors, there were hundreds of Qi Cultivation Realm disciples as well.

Such a tragedy was unbearable for many, acting like a fuse that triggered a great storm.

Some elders within the "Soul-Controlling Sect" planned to seize this opportunity to uncover some truths and gain real control of the "Soul-Controlling Sect".

"Let me explain then!"

Seeing many elders causing trouble, the sect leader, who usually held a high position, could no longer stay silent.

"This matter dates back to a hundred years ago when the senior monk of ’Mingxin Temple’ sent a decree, asking us to handle something for them, which led to Zhuang Yangming and others being sent out."

The sect leader Bi Ruohan of the "Soul-Controlling Sect" paused, observed everyone’s shocked expressions, and continued, "Afterwards, I discussed with the patriarch, and we were very satisfied with their conditions, so we agreed to cooperate, which led to today’s situation."

"Are we cooperating with ’Mingxin Temple’?"

The entire hall remained silent for a long time due to Bi Ruohan’s words until finally, an elder asked with a bitter voice.

"Mingxin Temple" is a colossal force of the Buddhist Sect.

It is one of the branches under the Zen Sect and holds a status in the Southern Heaven Continent comparable to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

"Mingxin Temple" and "Shenxiao Dao Sect" have had at least three major conflicts in history, with casualties numbering in tens of thousands!

Such a giant sect approached their small "Soul-Controlling Sect"?

Many elders present could hardly believe their ears.

Moreover, one is a Buddhist Sect and the other is a Demon Sect, they fundamentally don’t mix!

This statement indeed shocked them!

"That’s how it is!"

Bi Ruohan firmly nodded and said expressionlessly, "We had no choice but to agree! First, Mingxin Temple’s strength is too formidable, and our ’Soul-Controlling Sect’ only has a single patriarch who is no match; second, the tangible benefits were greatly useful to the patriarch, making it unavoidable!"

As Bi Ruohan explained everything clearly, naturally, no one had any further words.

"What do we do now?"

An elder asked.

"We still need to investigate. Zhuang Yangming’s location is stationed on ’Lingxiu Island’ a thousand miles from Yingtian Prefecture. Elders Xiang Daiyu and Wei Cuitong, you two take some capable individuals and go investigate."

"Alright! I will take my disciples and personally make the trip."

Wei Cuitong nodded, her cold voice echoing in the hall...

Meanwhile, Yingtian Prefecture was also in complete chaos.

Last time, some demon cultivators caused trouble in the city, how could it be possible without internal assistance?

After Zhu Wanyun returned, she naturally did not mention the events on "Lingxiu Island".

However, the speculation about internal assistance aligned perfectly with some members of the royal family.

Moreover, with the approval of "Shenxiao Temple", the royal family naturally began the investigation.

Those deceased demon cultivators couldn’t have avoided contact with anyone; their portraits were sketched and distributed, with constables questioning door-to-door in the city.

Chaos erupted on all the streets of "Yingtian Prefecture", as vicious constables, backed by the official army, charged recklessly.

This method of investigation proved quite effective.

Soon, they obtained detailed information and targeted the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

The prime minister of the Great Ming Dynasty, however, is not aligned with the royal family, representing the power of the aristocratic clans.

The Emperor received this good news and was immediately overjoyed.

Soon after, all the powerful figures of the Zhu family conferred and decided to take action against the prime minister.

A group of strong individuals received orders to surround the Prime Minister’s Mansion, shocking many onlookers. Was this another court coup?

At this moment, those surrounding the Prime Minister’s Mansion were the most elite cultivators of the royal family, some from the Zhu family and others hired as tributors.

"What is happening!"

The Prime Minister’s Mansion was not comprised of ordinary people, with the Liu family having thrived in the Imperial City for hundreds of years and being a powerful clan.

Seeing the royal family’s people surrounding them, Liu family’s cultivators, feeling indignant, stood at the entrance, confronting the court’s people.

"Make way! Bring out Liu Jianye!"

However, the royal family’s people completely ignored them, seizing this opportunity to eliminate the Liu family and reclaim the prime minister’s power for the royal family.

"Who dares call my name!"

The Prime Minister’s Mansion gate opened wide, and the current prime minister Liu Jianye stepped out. Behind him, numerous Liu family cultivators and death warriors, numbering in dozens, followed.

This showed the formidable power of the Liu family.

"Liu Jianye, your crimes have been exposed! Collaborating with demon cultivators, harming tens of thousands of citizens, will you not surrender now?"

At the Liu family entrance, the royal family’s Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators looked coldly, revealing killing intent. They didn’t expect the other party to be so brazen and audacious despite committing grave crimes.

This truly showed they completely disregarded the Zhu family and the royal family!

"Hmph! Given the accusations, who needs an excuse?"

Liu Jianye scanned these people, noting that among those who came to arrest him, none were below the fifth layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and there were four or five Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators!
