Aside from Hui Xin, the little monk, and Immortal Infant Tong Dudu, several other handsome young men were imprisoned.
As she spoke to the end, that fleshy arm also assumed a welcoming gesture, beckoning towards the gash.
The implication was: the old monk invites you in.
Bizarre, terrifying, and it left one feeling endlessly nauseated.
Any listener would interpret Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva's suggestion as an deliberate provocation towards Bai Qin, the Old Monk.
Yet who would have thought that from the beginning, Bai Qin seemed to have been waiting to hear these words.
Almost immediately after Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva finished speaking, the old monk nodded his head with great pleasure.
Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva's Demon Eye widened in disbelief.
Then, Bai Qin, the Old Monk, showed a gentle smile and continued nodding:
"What Mr. Yang has said is very much to my liking."
"So be it, let it be settled this way."
This reply plunged Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva into a state of shock and rage.
Ten Thousand Feet of Buddha Light burst forth once more, the devilish flesh began to wriggle again, and billions of peacock feathers transformed into "Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Demon Light," slashing down at the old monk.
At the same time, there were continuous howls.
"Bai Qin, you dare to toy with this Bodhisattva?"
"When you had not yet entered the Great Freedom Temple, you were a sly Demon. Have you, now as a monk, still not changed your old ways?"
Seeing this, the old monk was not at all surprised, merely shaking his head with a smile:
"Mr. Yang is inherently suspicious, and you have misunderstood this poor monk, but never mind. As that arrangement came from the mouth of a Bodhisattva, it is naturally settled that way and is not open to change."
"Although Mr. Yang is a heaven-sent genius who uses the Demon Buddha's Root Method to refine the Buddha Mother Ming King Dharma Form, and to offset the backlash of the cost, you also cultivate the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, and you have indeed refined this [Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Ming King Dharma Form], which is much more impressive than the methods this poor monk used back in the day."
"It's just a pity that even with you embracing three methods, there are still some costs that you cannot pay, and there is still a long way to go before this Dharma Form is truly refined."
"This old skeleton of mine can still handle it."
Having said that, the old monk seemed not to care about the Demon Light that was about to bring down the mountains, he turned to Xiao Meiniang and the other eight and made a Buddha greeting, saying: "Fellow Daoists, please leave this dangerous place first, the matter of saving others will fall upon this poor monk, and it shall be settled soon."
After speaking, he did not wait for a response from the nine people and directly waved his hand to send them out of the area.
As for himself, he showed a look of remorse on his extremely wrinkled face.
The next moment, a scene that shocked everyone emerged:
The Great Freedom Protective Buddha Light on Bai Qin, the Old Monk's body, indeed slowly faded away, and in its place rose Demonic Qi.
With a "rumble," it became clear that the monk's robe, embroidered with "beasts," was releasing boundless Demonic Qi from within the old monk's body. A cursory count of the beasts told you that it numbered exactly one hundred.
It was this very robe that released the immense Demonic Qi within the old monk in an instant.
And amidst the soaring Demonic Qi, there were one after another, incredibly terrifying Bird Demons.
The mountains began to shake wildly, the Ape Demon hammered, the Elephant Demon stomped, the Pig Demon charged, the Snake Demon coiled... When the hundred demons converged, Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva's already incomplete "Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Ming King Dharma Form" was immediately in trouble, being forcefully overturned under the watchful eyes of all the Evil Cultivators.
Then everyone saw Bai Qin, the Old Monk, suddenly merge into an Ape Demon, reaching out with a large hand to violently extract dozens of Meat Ambers from within Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva's belly and tossed them towards Seeking Immortal County.
Having done all this, the now utterly mad Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva began to resist furiously.
The terrifying flesh hell surged upwards, attempting to devour the hundreds of Bird Demons completely.
In the face of this attack, Bai Qin, the Old Monk, gave up all resistance.
"All phenomena are illusory."
As the chant was spoken, the horde of Bird Demons scattered like bubbles.
And the "Bai Qin" Old Monk, under the gaze of all, sat down in meditation then and there and passed away.
His life force extinguished in an instant, and that already ancient body was suddenly consumed by a mysterious "Buddha Fire" that appeared out of nowhere.
Only a mottled Shariputra fell into the belly of Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, deep within the layers of the Physical Body Prison.
