Chapter 2678

Time and fate played their parts. The Evil Buddha never expected to encounter such events. She had discovered that Zhu Yanyi’s purification effect was exceptionally strong. This realization made her understand that staying in Sicheng Town would likely lead to no good outcome.

“So you chose to leave, and in such a manner,” Zhu Yanyi said, finally understanding.

In truth, the old medicine master had also been using him. But he hadn’t known it at the time. It was merely a case of mutual exploitation between the two. The most pitiful one was herself, forced to grieve for their selfish motives.

Zhu Yanyi reflected on the past, finding it somewhat unbelievable. Now that she thought about it, wasn’t this also a test for her?

The Evil Buddha seemed to notice that Zhu Yanyi wasn’t angry at all. To her, her actions were merely a faint test. “Yes, what else could I do? I cannot fight you.”

Zhu Yanyi glanced at the Evil Buddha. “Actually, even if you wanted to fight me, you probably lack the ability.”

The Evil Buddha chuckled lightly. “Yes, I lack the ability. After all, you have the Yan Emperor behind you.”

The Evil Buddha hadn’t expected Yan Aohan’s identity to be so noble. But now that he thought about it, it seemed everything could have been foreseen. Without Yan Aohan, how could he have arrived here smoothly? “Entering this place, finding ways to become the Evil Buddha, and becoming the ruler here was not easy.”

“I am just curious. Even if you became the Evil Buddha, how did you manage to trap the Heavenly Dao?” Zhu Yanyi asked with genuine curiosity.

She was indeed curious about this point. The Heavenly Dao was omnipresent in the hearts of all cultivators and constantly changing. Under such circumstances, trapping the Heavenly Dao showed that the Evil Buddha possessed considerable ability.

The Evil Buddha smiled faintly. “It wasn’t me who trapped it. It was a person named Wuxie. I don’t know what method he used, but by the time I arrived, the Heavenly Dao was already trapped. Wuxie said then, ‘The world is too boring. Occasionally doing something interesting is good.’ He said that since I refused to submit to Heaven, he trapped Heaven. However, trapping Heaven has a time limit. Within this period, if I achieve my goal, I can fulfill my wish. But if I fail to achieve this goal, my fate will be destroyed.”

The Evil Buddha paused, then continued. “Wuxie also said that people in this world are very boring. They always say evil cannot defeat good. But he wanted to be someone where good does not suppress evil. So he hoped to reach that level. He said he would come to guide me then.”

“Good does not suppress evil?” Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. “It seems this Wuxie has some background.”

“I really don’t know if she has a background, but I can see from her actions that her ability is absolutely very powerful.” The Evil Buddha looked at Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan. “If you face her, remember this point. Be careful in everything you do.”

“We are always careful in what we do,” Zhu Yanyi said with a light smile.

“I believe that,” the Evil Buddha nodded slightly, still trusting Zhu Yanyi.

The Evil Buddha continued. “However, no one knows Wuxie’s origin. To be honest, I suspect he is one of those mysterious ancient gods. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such divine powers.”

After speaking, the Evil Buddha looked at Yan Aohan. “I know you are the Supreme Yan Emperor, but the power of ancient gods is very great. You must still be careful.”

Yan Aohan hummed, indicating he understood.

Zhu Yanyi said, “We have no connection with this Wuxie. She cannot settle scores with us.”

The Evil Buddha shook his head slightly. “It’s not about whether he can settle scores with you. To be honest, I never worry about that. If we talk about calculation, your minds are not inferior to his. But I always feel that Wuxie is too terrifying. You must be careful. My sixth sense tells me so.”

The Evil Buddha’s last sentence was obviously very serious.

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi looked up slightly at the Evil Buddha, then nodded slightly. “I remember.”

The Evil Buddha added, “If you hadn’t come here, I could have succeeded in replacing the Heavenly Dao’s position after a while.”

“You cannot replace it,” Yan Aohan said. “No matter what you do, the Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Dao, and you are you. Good and evil are two different paths. They cannot merge into one. So no matter how you think, it is useless.”

Yan Aohan’s words made the Evil Buddha ponder.

Yan Aohan added, “Actually, this is quite good. At least it allows people to understand the difference between good and evil.”

Yan Aohan’s words were concise. The Evil Buddha understood in his heart. “Perhaps I should have talked to you properly back then. Maybe I wouldn’t have walked this path.”

“That is true,” Zhu Yanyi nodded faintly. “A person’s hostility and resentment do not exist in only one world. If you had told us earlier, we would have let you collect them from various worlds. It’s a pity you didn’t say anything.”

Zhu Yanyi looked regretful. She naturally wouldn’t blame the Evil Buddha for her distrust. Since the matter had already happened, there was nothing more to say.

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, the Evil Buddha smiled bitterly. “It’s a pity there is no medicine for regret.”

“There is not only no medicine for regret, but also no way back,” Zhu Yanyi said faintly. “You must taste the fruit of the cause you planted yourself.”

The Evil Buddha chuckled lightly. “Actually, when your lotus appeared in this world, I knew it. I truly failed this time, and there will never be a new opportunity after failure.”

Zhu Yanyi remained silent. She didn’t want to discuss this issue.

The Evil Buddha added, “Actually, it’s good like this now. No matter what, I tried.” Then he said, “However, there are some things I must tell you. Since I am gone today, your enemies will not be as simple as I am.”

Zhu Yanyi didn’t understand, only frowning slightly. At this moment, Yan Aohan looked outside. “Listening to our conversation? Xiangyao, you are too careless.”

With a wave of his hand, an animal appeared in the air. It was the Xiangyao that had escaped back then. Seeing its nine heads were complete, it was clear its injuries had healed.

Xiangyao didn’t expect to be discovered by the Yan Emperor despite hiding so secretly. It was startled.

Yan Aohan pointed at Xiangyao. Just as Xiangyao was about to be destroyed, a hand appeared in the air and grabbed Xiangyao away. “I will wait for you in the Divine Realm.”
