"National Master, next is the final stage of the plan to divide the Yuan Dynasty."
"Those lamas who colluded with Temujin will be handed over to you."
"At that time, Lord Wang Yangming will cooperate with you."
"As for the other matters within the Yuan Dynasty, I will handle them."
"Once the final step is successfully completed, it will be the perfect time for our Ming Dynasty to launch an attack on the Yuan Dynasty!"
"The Yuan Dynasty is long due for destruction."
"If it weren't for being entangled in Yuan Dynasty affairs, perhaps we could have shared some of the benefits from the Song Dynasty as well."
"Would the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty be so smug and prosperous otherwise?!"
Pang Tong watched as Phagpa gradually disappeared into the distance.
His eyes were extremely deep.
He wasn't worried that this guy would secretly contact Temujin.
If he was truly that foolish, then he no longer deserved to exist.
His Majesty the Emperor would never tolerate fools.
Even if he were to reach the God Demon Realm in the future, it would be the same.
However, from his tone, it was clear that the plan within the Yuan Dynasty had reached its final conclusion.
"Lord Pang, rest assured. Before I arrived, His Majesty had already made all the arrangements."
"To deal with those sinister and deceitful lamas, His Majesty sent not just one God Demon Realm cultivator."
"If they resist, kill them all, leave none alive!"
"Oh? That's for the best. It's better to kill all those lamas. That way, there's nothing but benefit for our Ming Dynasty."
"Keeping those people around would only bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
==========
Ming Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is a secret report sent by Lord Pang Tong!"
"Hehe, it seems Shiyuan is ready to act!"
"Good. Summon the Cabinet and have them prepare thoroughly!"
"Next, I will dispatch the army to attack the Yuan Dynasty with the ultimate goal of destroying the Yuan Dynasty!"
"Everything within the Ming Dynasty must yield to this matter!"
"Also, Dark One, you give the order to notify the heads of the Azure Dragon Association. It's time for them to make their contribution!"
"Your Majesty, wouldn't this alert the enemy?"
"So what if it does?"
"Can Temujin resist?"
"I intend to crush him with overwhelming momentum!"
"Once the Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, our Ming Dynasty's two greatest threats will finally be eliminated!"
As for the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao now held it in complete contempt.
If not for focusing on the bigger picture, the Yuan Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago!
==========
Song Dynasty.
Shaolin Temple.
At this moment, the entire Shaolin Temple was engulfed in flames.
Corpses lay scattered across the ground.
There were Shaolin monks, and also soldiers who attacked the temple.
It was destroyed!
The ancient Shaolin Temple ultimately couldn't escape Murong Fu's devastating assault.
Especially since the Shaolin Temple leadership was completely wiped out by certain people.
Only some mid and low-level monks remained. How could they possibly match a well-trained army?
Even so.
In the monks' desperate counterattack, Murong Fu's forces were almost entirely wiped out.
This alone showed.
Even if Murong Fu abandoned martial arts for the military, he had little potential.
If a true renowned general had led the attack, losses of even 10% would have been considered a major failure.
But Murong Fu lost ninety percent of his forces.
He had absolutely no qualifications or potential to be a general.
At the same time.
At the courtyard of the Scripture Pavilion in Shaolin Temple.
This place was also a scene of complete devastation.
Even worse than the great hall engulfed in flames.
Though not touched by fire, it was completely destroyed in the aftermath of the battle between God Demon Realm cultivators.
The Scripture Pavilion had completely collapsed.
Buried underground.
The mysterious cultivators who had previously attacked the Sweeping Monk now lay either dead or gravely injured.
And the Sweeping Monk didn't fare well either.
His face was deathly pale.
His aura was in complete disarray.
Just now, he faced many alone under extreme pressure!
If not for the Buddhist Skill and Buddhist Divine Weapon granted by Heaven Dao Reward, he might have truly lost.
Thinking about the now-destroyed Shaolin Temple, the Sweeping Monk was filled with both anger and grief.
His once peaceful heart had completely changed.
His eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.
With a move of his body.
He instantly appeared before the severely injured Mythical Realm enemy.
With a forceful strike of his palm, he slammed it onto the opponent's head.
Crack!
The skull fractured.
A dignified Mythical Realm cultivator was slain without resistance by the Sweeping Monk.
"You are all too vile. For destroying my Shaolin Temple, death is too kind!"
"Stitched Cloth Guard, this old monk will never forgive you!"
Shaolin Temple was his home.
He had spent most of his life here.
Now it has been completely destroyed.
He will be homeless from now on.
How could he not be furious?
Glancing at the few survivors nearby, a burst of energy flew from his hand.
He unsealed their acupuncture points one by one.
"Abbot, gather the surviving Shaolin Temple disciples and leave quickly!"
"Master, what about you?"
"Now that Shaolin Temple is destroyed, as long as you're alive, we can rebuild Shaolin Temple!"
The Abbot looked bitter and sorrowful.
The Shaolin Temple was destroyed under his leadership. How could he face the ancestors of the Shaolin Temple?
No matter what, he had to rebuild the Shaolin Temple.
With the Sweeping Monk, his hopes were much greater.
"Amitabha, this old monk fears I cannot leave."
"The target of these people isn't just Shaolin Temple, but also this old monk!"
"If I remain with you all, it would only bring more danger!"
"Also, I have a question that I must uncover. Why did they burn the Shaolin Temple? Why target this old monk?"
"If I don't uncover the truth, even if the Shaolin Temple is rebuilt, it might be destroyed again!"
==========
Far away from Shaolin Temple, on a high peak.
Monk Tan Zong looked at the ruined Shaolin Temple, his face twitching with fury.
In his eyes, anger was building uncontrollably.
"Bad Marshal, what is the Stitched Cloth Guard after?"
"Why are they so ruthless?"
"Are they seeking to fight the entire Shaolin Temple sect to the death?"
"Master Tan Zong, I just received news. The Han Shaolin Temple was recently destroyed by a mysterious force!"
"They seemed to be looking for something!"
"Not sure if they found it in the end, but before they left, they burned the entire Shaolin Temple to the ground!"
"It's said that Founder Dharma passed into nirvana at the Han Shaolin Temple. Could it be that he is the real target?"
"What? Founder Dharma?"
"Bad Marshal, you mean the Han Shaolin Temple was also destroyed by the Stitched Cloth Guard?"
"And now they've destroyed the Northern Song Shaolin Temple. Their next target might be our Tang Shaolin Temple?"
Thinking this, Tan Zong could no longer sit still.
No matter what the Stitched Cloth Guard's goal was, one thing was clear.
They were preparing to strike against all Shaolin Temple Temples across the Nine Provinces!
"Marshal, I have urgent news to report!"
At this moment, not far away, a man in black respectfully saluted.
Clearly, he was from the Organization of Misfortune.
"What is it?"
"Marshal, this is from our spy, who just returned from the Southern Song Dynasty... no, now it's the Vast Sea Dynasty..."
"This message has a close connection with the burning of Northern Song Shaolin Temple."
"Oh? What is it?"
Bad Marshal opened the report and gave it a glance.
His expression changed.
He sighed and handed the message to Tan Zong.
"What? The Southern Song Shaolin Temple was also destroyed by a mysterious force?"
"And the attackers were eventually found and wiped out by Vast Sea Cultivators."
"It really was the Stitched Cloth Guard!"
"Their purpose in destroying Shaolin Temple Temples seems to be in search of some object."
"Unfortunately, before they destroyed the temples, that object was already taken by another group!"
"Han Shaolin Temple, Southern Song Shaolin Temple, and now Northern Song Shaolin Temple..."
Tan Zong murmured.
Then his expression changed again.
"This is bad! Our Tang Shaolin Temple is in danger!"
"No, I must rush back immediately!"
Without waiting for Yuan Tiangang to respond, he swiftly flew into the distance.
==========
At the same moment.
In another direction.
Vast Sea Dynasty.
The upheaval at Shaolin Temple had completely fallen into the eyes of Jia Xu.
"Han Shaolin Temple! Northern Song Shaolin Temple! Stitched Cloth Guard!"
"Interesting!"
"I sense a hidden conspiracy here!"
"Now that the Stitched Cloth Guard is exposed, the true ones might soon make their appearance."
"I wonder what their real purpose is, and who is behind them?"
"The Han Dynasty's fate is about to change completely!"
"Perhaps the actions of Ying Zheng forced them to emerge from hiding."
"If the Han Dynasty falls to the Qin Dynasty, then any schemes by the Stitched Cloth Guard would be meaningless whether they succeed or not."
"Lord, we just received a secret letter from within the nation!"
"Oh? Interesting. Even our Vast Sea Shaolin Temple has suffered. They truly have no regard for us!"
"This won't do. We must teach them a painful lesson!"
"Men, spread the word. All Stitched Cloth Guard members currently in the Song Dynasty are to be eliminated. Leave none alive!"
"As for that clown Murong Fu, kill him too!"
"Lord, there may still be hidden Stitched Cloth Guard members nearby!"
"If we act rashly, our forces may suffer heavy losses."
"This will greatly affect our plans in the Song Dynasty!"
"Makes it easier for the Qin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty to benefit!"
"I have already made arrangements. The strength of our Vast Sea Dynasty is far beyond what the Stitched Cloth Guard can imagine!"
"Previously, they weren't worthy of seeing our hidden forces. Now... maybe I'll pay them a bit more attention."
"But because of that, their destruction will come even faster!"
"Hm? Interesting!"
"That monk Tan Zong who was with Yuan Tiangang was just approached by someone from the Stitched Cloth Guard!"
"They're really arrogant."
"The Stitched Cloth Guard truly looks down on all the forces of the other dynasties!"
Jia Xu gave a faint smile.
However, in his eyes, a cold killing intent was clearly visible.
Buzz!
At this moment, the high-altitude ranking trembled again.
The ranking reappeared.
The Rank 4 on the Buddhist Immortal Ranking had finally appeared.
