Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 990 - 988: Is Xiao Yi the Buddha King? [Sixth Release]

Chapter 990: Chapter 988: Is Xiao Yi the Buddha King? [Sixth Release]

"Everyone, be careful!"

"This being surpasses even the Supreme Buddha King, likely a Buddhist saint. We can’t withstand even a glance from such a mighty figure!"

"Scared of what? If worse comes to worst, we’ll die together with him!"

The crowd looked towards the direction of the cabin, their faces solemn.

A gaunt figure walked out from within.

At this moment...

The tension and solemnity that had enveloped everyone suddenly froze, and they stared blankly at the familiar figure.

"Xiao... Xiao Yi?"

"Xiao Zhenguo? How is it him?"

"Damn it, Xiao Zhenguo must have been captured by the Buddhist sect. They’re planning to use Xiao Zhenguo as a hostage. We need to find a way to save Xiao Zhenguo first..." After the initial shock, the powerful figures became even more solemn and concerned.

Even with all the courage in the world...

They couldn’t imagine that Xiao Yi, who had just reached the Heaven Venerate Realm a year ago, could sweep through the Western Province in just one year and become the Supreme Buddha King!

In their eyes...

At this time, Xiao Yi’s appearance here could only mean he had been captured by the Celestial Dragon Supreme.

He’s come to demand an explanation!

Xiao Yi, seeing everyone’s readiness for combat and mistaking it as the pressure from the Veda Supreme’s arrival, said with a smile, "Folks, what are you all doing here?"

"Brother Xiao Yi, don’t panic. Even if it costs the entire Nantian Dynasty, I will save you!"

Nantian Wen had such a temperament; he truly recognized Xiao Yi as his own brother and regarded him earnestly. He looked solemnly towards the Veda Supreme, "Celestial Dragon Supreme, please let the Buddha King behind you come forward. Whatever conditions you have for releasing my brother Xiao, let me know and I shall agree!" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Zou Shaolong hesitated for a moment and then said, "I am the Lord of Nantian Holy Land; I can also fulfill a part of the conditions!"

Yang Ling said, "My Daqian Dynasty is willing to expend all its power, just as long as you release Xiao Zhenguo!"

"Master..."

Jin Feiyan and Ye Heng and the others looked worried.

"This..."

The Veda Supreme was dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Yi with an expression of amusement mixed with tears, "Buddha King, you see this..."

Xiao Yi touched his nose with a wry smile, guessing that Nantian Wen and the others had misunderstood something, and right as he was about to speak up, he was interrupted by Nantian Wen, "Brother Xiao, don’t be nervous. Let me discuss it with the Buddha King first. If this truly doesn’t work, I’ll even ask our ancestor to leave seclusion..."

"My Holy Lord has also given orders. There’s no way we will let anything happen to you!"

Zou Shaolong nodded earnestly, his expression grave as he looked towards the ship cabin behind Xiao Yi, "Please, Buddha King, reveal yourself!"

"..."

Inside the ship cabin, silence prevailed.

The atmosphere grew even more tense.

Zou Shaolong’s face showed displeasure. He was a Lord of the Nantian Holy Land after all. Even if he wasn’t as eminent as the Buddha King, this was the Southern State, and they should give him, the Nantian Holy Land, some face, right?

Zou Shaolong said with a dark face, "The Buddha King refuses to show himself; is this an insult to the Nantian Holy Land?"

Nantian Wen looked towards Veda Supreme, "Celestial Dragon Supreme, won’t you invite your Buddha King to appear?"

"The Buddha King is right before you; where would this Venerable go to invite him?" Veda Supreme looked at the hostile eyes of the crowd, feeling extremely wronged, and said helplessly with a shrug.

"The Buddha King is right in front of us?"

"Do you take us for fools? Can the Buddha King become invisible?"

"Apart from Xiao Zhenguo, there’s only you here. Where is the Buddha King? Surely you’re not going to tell us that Xiao Zhenguo is the Buddha King?" Qiu Yiyun sneered repeatedly, finding it outrageous that this bald monk couldn’t even bother to come up with a convincing lie.

Yet...

His words awakened the dreamers.

Nantian Wen was the first to react, swallowing hard, he hesitantly looked at Veda Supreme and said, "You, you’re not going to tell me, Xiao, that Brother Xiao is the Buddha King you speak of?"

What?

Zou Shaolong and the others all wore expressions of astonishment.

Xiao Yi is the Buddha King?

How is that possible?

Amitabha!

You’ve finally understood!

Veda Supreme chanted the Buddha’s name silently to himself, pressing his palms together with a look of sincerity and seriousness, "Exactly, the person standing before you is the newly enthroned Buddha King of the Western State Buddhist Sect!"

Hiss!

The crowd all gasped in shock.

This can’t be real...

Xiao Yi has really become the Buddha King of the Western State Buddhist Sect?

For a moment.

The sky above Xiaoshanhe Institute seemed frozen by a Binding Spell.

The clouds stopped moving, the wind ceased to blow.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were completely petrified.

"Heh, heh heh, that’s not a very funny joke..."

"Great monk, you must be jesting with us, right?" the crowd asked awkwardly.

Veda Supreme rolled his eyes, not knowing how to explain to this group of simpletons, and could only look towards Xiao Yi for help.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, stepped forward, and said with a light chuckle, "Nantian, Lord Zou, Yang Ling... He has not deceived you, I have indeed accidentally become a Buddha King in the Buddhist Sect. Moreover, he is not the Celestial Dragon Supreme. I have killed the Celestial Dragon Supreme. He is my follower, Veda Supreme. You can directly address him by his monastic name, Veda!"

"..."

Everyone was petrified once again.

All of this turned out to be true!

Xiao Yi had really become a Buddha King in the Buddhist Sect!

Even a formidable figure of Supreme Venerable level, was merely his follower?

How strong must Xiao Yi be then?

Supreme Venerable?

Saint Venerable?

Bear in mind...

Just a year ago, he was no more than a new entrant to the Heaven Venerate Realm!

After the initial shock and disbelief.

The crowd gradually came to accept the truth before their eyes; horror and astonishment, as well as disbelief, all turned into excitement and euphoria. Before this, they had been prepared to fight a desperate battle to save Xiao Yi, only to find that they had been worried for nothing.

Jin Feiyan was the first to recover, bursting into sobs, she plunged toward Xiao Yi: "Master, I knew that with Master’s strength, no crappy Buddhist sect could possibly trouble you!"

"You little girl, already in the Longevity Secret Realm, yet still crying and wailing without shame?" Xiao Yi rubbed Jin Feiyan’s head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ye Heng also flew over from the side.

This boy had not slacked off either; in just a short year, he had already reached the Fifth Layer of Human Venerate Realm.

However...

His eyes were also red at this moment, his lips pressed tightly together, watching Xiao Yi anxiously.

Xiao Yi burst into laughter, patted his shoulder: "Not bad, you’ve made quite a bit of progress this past year!"

"How dare I let down Master’s expectations?" Ye Heng’s eyes reddened, his face breaking into a brilliant smile.

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile, seeing Ruan Yunyi in the crowd looking at himself nervously. He was quite satisfied with this silent yet extremely diligent disciple. He beckoned to Ruan Yunyi, who then flew over: "Disciple pays respect to Master!"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Yi said with a smile, "It seems you can now perfectly control the power within you, but don’t become complacent, alright!"

"Disciple understands!" Ruan Yunyi nodded earnestly.

His path to cultivation had been much rougher than Ye Heng’s and the others, naturally valuing it all the more.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, still not seeing Xiao Yun’s figure, and sighed softly: "Xiao Yun hasn’t come back yet?"

"No!"

Ruan Yunyi was somewhat disappointed.

When it came to sentiments with the people of Xiaoshanhe Institute, he had always been closest to Xiao Yun.

After all.

Without Xiao Yun’s encouragement, he would not have dared to attend the examination at Xiaoshanhe Institute, let alone become a disciple of Xiao Yi.

"Enough, everyone has their own fate, let him be!"

Xiao Yi sighed again. Regarding his most mysterious disciple Xiao Yun, he always had doubts and many riddles had not been unraveled. But with the person not present, even if he was eager to solve them, there was no way to do so, thus he put the matter aside.

He leaped over to Nantian Wen and Zou Shaolong, who were still in a state of shock, and said with a smile, "Nantian, Lord Zou, I must thank you both for your gallant support this time!"

The other party had helped him to the utmost knowing that the enemy might be a highly revered Holy Buddha.

This moved Xiao Yi profoundly.

Zou Shaolong laughed bitterly: "Had I known earlier that you were the Buddha King, how could I act so disgracefully in retreat? It’s quite embarrassing!"

Nantian Wen, on the other hand, was not so restrained. He firmly punched Xiao Yi’s chest. The Emperor of the Nantian Dynasty’s eyes were also red at this moment: "You are quite something, visiting the Western Province and becoming a highly respected Buddha King so quietly. Tell me, what exactly have you experienced this past year?"

"It’s a long story. Shall we head back and talk?" Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"Right, right, back to Xiaoshanhe Institute first!"

Bai Fa Sword Emperor stepped forward to say.

Subsequently, he deactivated the Defensive Array, and people filed in, returning to the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

As they listened to Xiao Yi casually narrate his experiences over the past year, everyone was full of sighs.

Despite Xiao Yi glossing over the hardships, they could still imagine how many difficulties and dangers he had encountered. It’s no exaggeration to say that if anything had gone wrong at any point, they would not have been able to see Xiao Yi again, but fortunately, the outcome was perfect!

Xiao Yi, had actually become a king in the Buddhist sect!

This was an existence that could sit on an equal footing with the Holy Lords of the sacred grounds of the Nantian!

"By the way, please keep my status as a Buddha King confidential," Xiao Yi said in a grave voice.

Everyone was taken aback.

Nantian Wen asked, "Are you worried about the Changsheng Sect?"

It dawned on Zou Shaolong and others that the Changsheng Sect was not tolerated by the six great sacred grounds, and they had always wanted to take control of a province’s territory. If they knew that the Buddha King was not a Saint Venerable but a Supreme Venerable, it is likely even the Saint Venerables of the Changsheng Sect would not be able to resist personally taking action against Xiao Yi.

Everyone nodded, understanding the urgency of the matter.

Nantian Wen asked, "Xiao, now that you have become the king of the Buddhist sect, do you have any plans for what comes next?"

With Xiao Yi becoming the Buddha King, the crisis of the Daqian Dynasty was naturally averted as well.

Zou Shaolong also looked towards Xiao Yi.

The current Xiao Yi was not only promising for the future but had already risen completely. Even the sacred grounds had to treat him with the highest regard.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes. The prophecy shown to him by Fang Tianmiao surfaced in his mind. He said in a deep voice, "Nantian, Lord Zou, I plan to make a trip to Baiyu. But I heard that the location of Baiyu is extremely hidden, even people from the sacred grounds might not be clear about it. Do you know where Baiyu is located?"
