Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 648 - 326: People of the Buddhist Sect_3

Clearly, this time, the Zhu Family intends to deal a heavy blow to the Liu Family.

"Whether it’s true or not, you know in your heart! Today, the Liu Family shall be annihilated!"

A Foundation Establishment Realm expert of the royal family, a prince holding a long sword, pointed at Liu Jianye and spoke coldly.

"Hahaha! Annihilate my Liu Family? My Liu Family has disciples in the Shenxiao Dao Sect. If you have the ability, go to the Shenxiao Dao Sect and annihilate my Liu Family!"

Liu Jianye said coldly.

"Hehe! If the Shenxiao Dao Sect hears that your Liu Family is colluding with demon cultivators, I’m afraid you won’t need the royal family to take action; your Liu Family will have no good end!"

The royal prince spoke coldly, the fleeting contempt in his eyes deeply piercing Liu Jianye’s heart.

Others might not know, but how could he not know?

The reason those demon cultivators from the Soul-Controlling Sect entered the city was due to the secret assistance from the Liu Family.

Liu Jianye originally thought that having demon cultivators around could handle some dirty work, and thus were worth recruiting.

Last time, Liu Jianye suspected that the national preceptor and royalty seemed to be getting close, which was detrimental to the noble families. Thus, he secretly orchestrated the chaos to squeeze the new national preceptor out.

Unexpectedly, the national preceptor was so formidable that it didn’t take long for him to uncover the truth through soul search.

Now, blocked by the royal family’s people at his door, it seemed inescapable.

"Hehe! Say whatever you want! Your aim is just to eliminate dissidents, to deal with our Liu Family! Let me tell you, to deal with our Liu Family, just relying on your Zhu Family, it’s not enough!"

Not wanting to argue further, Liu Jianye roared, "Kill!"

Suddenly, the Zhu Family and Liu Family members clashed fiercely at the gates of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, engaging in deadly combat.

"Kill!"

The royal prince charged straight at Liu Jianye, striking down with his long sword onto the treasure saber in Liu Jianye’s hand.

Liu Jianye was forced to retreat several steps by the sword strike, his wrist aching painfully, his treasure saber trembling slightly. In terms of combat prowess, he was not a match for the royal prince...

The intensity of the battle escalated, with corpses falling to the ground.

The magnificent Prime Minister’s Mansion, amidst the battle’s aftermath, was reduced to ruins.

Half an hour later, Liu Jianye spat blood from his mouth, his face pale, collapsing to the ground, unable to rise.

This battle between the Zhu Family and Liu Family attracted the attention of many elite families.

Near the Prime Minister’s Mansion, countless experts were there watching the battle.

Many Foundation Establishment Realm experts from other families were astonished, not expecting the royal family to quietly amass such a formidable force.

In the clash with the Liu Family, they almost achieved a decisive victory.

At this moment, all these elite families put away their contempt for the royal family, realizing that the royal family’s strength had been underestimated by everyone...

Li Linzi and Gu Wenzhuo also took this opportunity to observe the situation in secret, knowing that these royal and noble families were all under the surveillance of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

This matter must be recorded and reported...

While clearing the demon sect’s collaborators within Yingtian Prefecture, on a picturesque small island amidst the vast ocean, several monks were discussing something.

This small island was only three miles in size, with a splendidly built small temple amidst the woods.

On the temple’s plaque, hung four gilded characters: Mingxin Branch.

Within this temple, under the golden Buddha in the main hall, four monks sat cross-legged on meditation mats, discussing something.

A bald monk at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm spoke respectfully in a low voice, "The Asura Witch of the Eight Divisions is dead, and it seems the Blood Bodhi Tree is lost as well."

"Dingxin, the matter of the Blood Bodhi Tree is of great importance; you must go to Lingxiu Island immediately to investigate this matter!"

A white-bearded monk spoke coldly.

"Yes! Teacher Hui Guo, your disciple will handle it now!"

Monk Dingxin, standing up, bowed with joined palms and headed outside.

After Monk Dingxin left, Zen Master Hui Guo’s previously calm demeanor vanished, revealing a furious expression as he roared, "Junior Brothers Hui Yun and Hui’an! We’ve paid such a great price and spent a century’s time, and now the Blood Bodhi Tree is gone! What a great loss!"

Hui Yun and Hui’an, seeing their senior brother so agitated, secretly lamented and showed expressions of fear and trepidation.

Zen Master Hui Guo was not an easy person to deal with!

Hui Yun quickly said, "Senior Brother, Lingxiu Island is not far from the mainland. Could it be that the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s people wiped out those worthless ones?"

"Yes! The Shenxiao Dao Sect’s people have always been keen on countering the demon dao. Perhaps the Soul-Controlling Sect’s people exposed themselves and were tracked down?"

Hui’an also followed up.

"My disciple has just gone to investigate, but that’s not enough!"

Zen Master Hui Guo spoke coldly, "Both of you must immediately find the people from the Soul-Controlling Sect. If they cannot retrieve the Blood Bodhi Tree, I want them to pay dearly!"

"Yes, Senior Brother, but how much time should we give them?

Hui Yun and Hui’an heaved a sigh of relief, and Hui Yun asked.

"Half a month! No more! If they cannot find the Blood Bodhi Tree, then they will compensate at full price, not a penny less!"

Zen Master Hui Guo’s face slightly softened as he spoke coldly.

"This..."

Hui Yun and Hui’an showed signs of difficulty.

In their view, half a month’s time was not enough for the Soul-Controlling Sect to complete the task.

This was somewhat unreasonable.

Glancing at his two junior brothers, Zen Master Hui Guo sighed and said, "It’s not me forcing them, but if the Blood Bodhi Tree is not retrieved, the three of us, returning to Mingxin Temple, won’t have a good ending either!"
