  He wanted to return all her pain to them!

  He was never a kind man, let alone after he had fallen from heaven!

  Baili Jia Jue squinted his eyes as he watched the demons pulled Ni Feng's hair in a demented manner.

  Several rays of Buddha Light seeped out from her body and were instantly swallowed by the demons!

  Dharma fate...

  My Dharma fate is swallowed just like that...

  Ni Feng was silenced by her pain, and her original face was finally revealed after losing the protection.

  She was a woman covered in livor mortis and her heart was eroded by the aura of resentment, she seemed absolutely grotesque and hideous.

  Some exorcists could not help but throw up when they saw her face.

  Ni Feng saw her face as well, and was stunned for some time before screaming hysterically like a madwoman.

  She could not accept how hideous she is!

  She was the Golden Lotus of the Buddhas, and the Lady Buddha of the purest bloodline.

  She has been elegant all her life, so she could not accept this appearance even when she was going to die.

  I can't suffer defeat in such a manner!

  However, even her Dharma fate was gone.

  She could no longer become a human and turn into Buddha.

  She could not even become a ghost now.

  "Aaah!" Following the last scream from Ni Feng, she melted into a puddle of black water and was incinerated by the Flame of Hell.

  Only then, the people realized how terrifying the man standing next to Phoenix Girl was.

  Several exorcists who went to the ancient tomb with Helian Wei Wei were drenched in cold sweat, secretly feeling grateful that they were courteous toward the man when they were in the tomb.

  Who exactly is the man, how did he manage to even open the gate to hell?

  The exorcists exchanged looks at each other in confusion. After Ni Feng was dealt with, the elders of Exorcist City walked toward Helian Wei Wei with a heavy sense of guilt on their faces. They wanted to explain themselves, but did not know what to say.

  Just like how Elder Li felt before, they really wanted to slap themselves in the face in shame.

  Helian Wei Wei ignored them and squinted her eyes to look in the direction of the dark clouds not far away.

  Although the Spell of Changing Fate Against Nature might be over, the wails from the hundred ghosts haven't stopped yet. At this rate, the living will die and the dead will be brought back to life, the Six Paths will definitely be plunged into complete chaos!

  Even the babies will not be born!

  No, I have to prevent this from happening and send a hundred ghosts back to where they belong.

  Helian Wei Wei was decisive with her action, so she stood in the blazing Light of Buddha and put her hands together, uttering, "May, all, warriors, fight, at, the, forefront, and, dispel all evil!"

  Following the nine-word mantra, Bodhi's Dharma Bone that was still lingering in the blazing flame shot out like a meteor. With the Phoenix's clear whistle, it soared through the sky and flew into the Sea of Blood full of restless evil spirits.

  The evil spirits immediately shut their empty wailing mouth, as though they smelled something familiar!

  When deafening Sanskrits resounded from the Ninth Heavens, the evil spirits finally came back to their senses.

  It was the smell of the Buddhist incense, that was burned on Mountain Tenya to calm the souls of the realm from suffering.

  The nine words mantra turned into a huge Dharma Seal and descended like a cover of Light of Buddha. Not only the evil spirits in the Sea of Blood, even the demons surrounding Exorcist City started to flee for their lives.

  The most powerful tactical formation that they had ever seen in their lives was the Divine Exorcism Curse, which was the one that sealed them under the earth's crust for 500 years!

  However, this time, the Dharma seal was even stronger than the Divine Exorcism Curse.

  They could even hear the Buddhist voice penetrating their demonic energy. It did not only intend to eliminate them, but release their souls as well.

  The Light of Buddha was shining brightly at the Sea of Blood.

  They could vaguely hear the Buddhist chant echoing in the air, saying, "Amitabha."

  Helian Wei Wei stood aside, her clothes were fluttering in the wind and a lotus bloomed with every step she took.

  It was a beautiful scene that had never been seen before in the human world. Big Buddha flowers bloomed beautifully in her trail, as though they could cleanse all the resentful energy.

  Everyone knew that it was a sign of returning to the ranking of Buddhism.

  The primal Phoenix has finally returned!

  Chapter 856 - HIs Highness’ Domineering Attitude

  Following that, Bodhi swiftly entered Hell!

  The evil spirits fell back into the Sea of Blood in silence, as they were showered in the Light of Buddha, one after another.

  Giant Buddha flowers were blooming on the Sea of Blood, seemingly vast and boundless.

  The beauty was simply overwhelming.

  Zhuge Yun suddenly thought of an old prophecy when he saw the scene.

  It was a prophecy about Sakyamuni Buddha.

  It was said that before Sakyamuni became a Buddha, he used to free all beings from sufferings. When he passed by Mount Buzhou, he saw the evil spirits in the Sea of Blood.

  He then made a noble ambition that shook the Six Paths, declaring, "As long as the Sea of Blood remains filled with evil, I swear I will not ascend to Buddha!"

  In the past, he emptied the Sea of Blood by jumping into the sea of evil spirits and experiencing their pain.

  In the end, the evil spirits were touched by Sakyamuni's action, so they released their grudges and returned to the path of reincarnation, to be reborn as human again.

  Is that stem of Bodhi doing the same thing?

  The thought flashed across Zhuge Yun's mind when he saw Phoenix standing still there, staring at the Sea of Blood. Her gaze slightly moved as she uttered, "Bodhi, Sakyamuni."

  Loud and heavy sanskrits came from the bottom of Hell. Outside the Exorcist City, the Son of the King of Hell who wanted to turn around and laugh at Jing Wushuang before saying, "Did you see that, that's the real Phoe..."

  Before he could finish, he saw the man in the white fluttering robe jumped off the city walls.

  White light was shining within him, as if he was going to be burnt to cinders.

  An image that he had never seen before suddenly appeared in his mind.

  It was a scene at the freezing cold Mountain Tenya, where every monk would pass by him.

  The divine bird soared through the sky and the True Buddha let out a sigh.

  He held his head high and said, "I don't regret this."

  Even though he would mistake her identity, he did not regret it.

  He could still vaguely see the extremely lonely figure on the endless stairs to heaven.

  Buddha asked him what other wishes he had.

  He said he wanted to have a look at that person's face.

  Now, my wish finally came true…

  As he fell down at lightning speed, Jing Wushuang slowly closed his eyes.

  "D*mn it!" The Son of the King of Hell rushed toward him, disregarding all the demons behind him. He moved his finger and hastily covered Jing Wushuang with his black robe.

  The ghost baby was dumbstruck by the scene, its eyes turned red as it uttered, "Master."

  It knew that its master's days were numbered.

  The Dharma Bone of primordial spirit had been away from his body for far too long.

  Furthermore, its master had suffered heavenly tribulations before...

  It always knew that this day would come, because its master was always in poor health.

  Nonetheless, it should not be happening now, not when Phoenix had just made her return.

  Master hasn't seen her yet.

  Master once said his only hope is to see th
at person.

  The ghost baby tugged at the man's robe, stubbornly holding on to it, while still holding that big bottle gourd in its hands.

  The Son of King of Hell liked this Bodhi very much, but he never thought that he was the Dharma fate that the True Buddha left on earth.

  "Hey, little ghost baby, stop pulling. Why do all the ghost babies act in the same way?"

  He should have thought about it sooner, those who were able to be the master of ghost babies must truly have a heart of enlightenment.

  Just like Du, whom he knows.

  And Bodhi.

  But Bodhi...

  "He hasn't seen the real Phoenix yet!" said the ghost baby while crying out loud. The child was exceptionally stubborn in a certain aspect.

  The Son of the King of Hell stopped his hands and lowered his head to look at it. "Ghost baby, do you know who showered the Light of Buddha just to wipe out the ominous name from Phoenix in Hell previously?"

  "It's Sakyamuni," the ghost baby said while weeping.

  Son of the King of Hell nodded. "Yes, it's Sakyamuni. Meanwhile, Bodhi has seen Phoenix before because he's the Dharma fate left behind by Sakyamuni. True Buddha created everything and now that the Sea of Blood is emptied, Sakyamuni will return one day. Phoenix triumphed over the anomaly in her fate, and this is what Bodhi wanted to see."

  Then, he lifted his black long robe. Other than some flickering light, Jing Wushuang was nowhere to be found.

  From this moment onward, its master would no longer exist, be it in the sea or the heavens, Six Paths or Eight Deserts, for his Dharma bone was dissolved in Hell.

  The Sea of Blood would no longer exist on top of Mount Buzhou.

  Thump!

  Everyone saw Helian Wei Wei, who was standing on the shore, suddenly jumped into the Sea of Blood!

  Countless evil spirits instantly rushed toward her and bared their sharp claws at her.

  However, she simply ignored them and focussed on her search. Finally, she found the stem of Bodhi that had lost all its Light of Buddha in the half-empty sea.

  She strenuously reached out to the stem but was unable to reach it.

  Right at this moment, a tall figure secured her in his arms, blocking the claws from the evil spirits, and grabbed the stem of Bodhi in an instant. Then, he swiftly brought her out of the Sea of Blood.

  The Sea of Blood was disappearing gradually and no one could use spells during that time. Emptying the Sea of Blood required the heart of freeing beings from torments, which was why they were unable to massacre the evil spirits anymore.

  Baili Jia Jue's back was covered with multiple bloody scars that were terrifyingly gory. He had never been hurt before, not even a cut on the finger, but now he was using the most primitive way to protect her.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her head and looked at the man. Water droplets flowed along her hair and onto the ground, but her eyes remained sharp and beautiful.

  Baili Jia Jue did not ask why she jumped into the Sea of Blood. Instead, he passed Bodhi's Dharma Bone to her. Then, he chuckled coldly and said with a unique elegance, "I actually wanted him to disappear just like that, but I know you'll remember him even longer if he simply disappears. Helian Wei Wei, I will pay your debt of gratitude on your behalf. In this wide world, I'm the only person whom you can owe a debt of gratitude to!"

  So, he's jealous anyway.

  Helian Wei Wei smiled with her eyes, and kissed his thin lips that were tightly pressed together.

  She could still feel the warmth of Bodhi in her hand. After the Sea of Blood was emptied and Hell was closed, the Six Paths of Reincarnation returned to normal.

  Helian Wei Wei passed the stem of Bodhi and her Light of Buddha to the ghost baby, saying, "He needs a very, very long time to come back, can you carry him for me?"

  Ghost baby nodded and wiped the tears off its eyes, replying, "I will visit all the temples and beg Buddha to allow the master to return."

  "Buddha will definitely answer your wish." Helian Wei Wei stroked the ghost baby's head and looked back at the Exorcist City that had returned to normal, with a smile hung over her face.

  The Son of the King of Hell looked at the man who was covered with cuts and bruises, and sneered, "Using injuries to win her heart again? You are a demon now, not god! You can easily switch between the form of demon and god, to prevent yourself from being injured in the Sea of Blood! You're so shameless, indeed!"

  Chapter 857 - Taking Vengeance

  Baili Jia Jue looked back and faintly glanced at him. Then, he suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know why you can't woo the one you like till now?"

  "You shut up!" The Son of King of Hell was enraged in fury, he hated it the most when people attacked him with this fact.

  "Because you're not shameless enough." After saying this, Baili Jia Jue left while holding Helian Wei Wei's hand.

  The Son of the King of Hell was left speechless. Even if you don't mind being shameless, at least consider it as a disgrace instead of feeling proud!

  The corner of the mouth of Son of the King of Hell twitched furiously, as he carried his ax on his shoulder, looking smug and domineering.

  All in all, this man is right.

  Phoenix would've been so hurt if Bodhi is gone.

  Baili Jia Jue understands what Bodhi means to Phoenix very well.

  Although it isn't the feeling of love, it's very hard for her to let go of him.

  He's her closest kin who helped her remove her ominous name.

  A friend who spent countless days with her at Mountain Tenya.

  He's Jing Wushuang, the only one who emitted the Light of Buddha, to shield her from the heavenly tribulation of thousands of rolling thunder, when the whole world had abandoned her.

  Carrying the stem of Bodhi and holding the bottle gourd of resentment in its other hand, the ghost baby wobbled away and left the Exorcist City.

  Since then, people regularly saw a child carrying a bottle gourd, turning up at the stone steps of a temple.

  It was petite, yet very serious with its prayers. It kneeled down after every step it took, swaying its little body. Many people showed concern and solitude for it, and always stopped to ask, "Little child, you're so young, why do you come praying on your own?"

  The ghost baby did not talk much, and had dark circles around his eyes.

  There were also people who came to pray that laughed at it, mocking, "Look at that little kid, he really kneeled his way up the mountain to pray to Buddha, is he dumb?"

  "Maybe something's wrong with his head, what a pity."

  Till one day, it met a man at the snowy mountain.

  The man was wearing a Chinese traditional costume, and his smile was elegantly gentle. His eyes were so tender when he looked down, as if they could peek into the human world. He asked the ghost baby, "Is that Bodhi in your hand?"

  The ghost baby paused, lifting its head and looking in the man's direction, as it asked, "Who are you?"

  "My identity isn't important, what's important is do you understand how you can develop Dharma fate?" The man said with a smile, as the bird on his shoulder bowed to peck on his slender and pale fingers.

  The ghost baby had high cultivation as it had existed in this world ever since women started to have abortions. However, weirdly, it could not figure out the identity and the original form of the man standing before him.

  As though he could see into the ghost baby's mind, the man grinned and shut his eyes, saying, "When Bodhi stood above Tenya in the past, he enlightened many people to become Buddha. Now that he has come to the human world, of course, he has to enlighten people as well, since Sakyamuni Buddha prioritizes salvation the most. Do you think you can help him turn into a human again by making noble wishes and praying at every temple?"

  "Then, what should I do?" The ghost baby stared at him with his dark eyes.

  The man took another glance at the Bodhi in his hand and grinned playfully, saying, "Phoenix gave him her Dharma fate?"

  The ghost baby n
odded.

  The man stroked its little head and continued, "Although I'm not used to raising a ghost baby, I can allow you to follow by my side for 100 years. 100 years should be enough."

  While hesitating, the ghost baby suddenly stopped its movement and looked at the man. What a familiar aura...

  "So, do you want to follow me?" The man smiled gently.

  The ghost baby nodded again, clutching the bottle gourd tightly in its arms and walked right behind the man, step by step. It asked with his child-like voice, "How can I wake master up?"

  "First, we need to find a temple and become the abbot of the temple." The man said while playing with his bird, "Not only can we salvage people, we can also earn money. The former is insignificant, what's important is the latter. You don't understand how difficult it is to earn money in the human world, but people are more than willing to spend money when praying to gods and deities."

  The ghost baby was speechless…

  "Oh right." The man looked back with a warm and gentle gaze, saying, "My surname is Pei, call me boss from now on."

  The ghost baby just noticed that the man could not see light as he was blind, but it could not tell by simply looking at how he walked.

  "Are you not going to follow me?" The man had a beautiful voice, it sounded like the Sanskrit sound in the temples when listened carefully.

  The ghost baby moved its thick, short legs. Anyhow, it met a weird boss and this man had the ability to bring back its master...

  Tugging onto the man's sleeve, the ghost baby returned to the way it was before.

  From that day onward, there was a new temple opposite the Exorcist City and it was different from the other temples. Other than receiving incense, people in this temple could deal with the evil spirits that those exorcists could not get rid of.

  The most peculiar part was, the abbot in this temple did not like being called an abbot, he preferred others to address him as 'boss.'

  Furthermore, his fee was sky-high, with a starting price of one million.

  Not only did he accept business from humans, but he also provided services to the ghosts.

  His aim was to salvage souls. It was said that one could cultivate and become a Buddha after delivering 9,999 souls from suffering.
