I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 371 .

Just when Lu Yao was forging the Magical Treasure, the situation in the Otherworld, resembling a raging fire fueled by oil, completely exploded.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Yong'an officially summoned the nominal leader of the Pantheism Church—Fu Fangsheng.

It seemed to be a signal. In an instant, many more military governors and viceroys began to treat the local Pantheism Church leaders as honored guests, expressing "support" for the Pantheism Church's attacks on churches.

These officials were all part of the "radical faction" within the Shun Dynasty; they believed that the Church, which was deeply proselytizing in the inland areas, posed a more severe threat than the Pantheism Church!

With the support of the Imperial Court, the Pantheism Church became unstoppable. Churches were burned and missionaries and Westerners were slaughtered all over the country.

And the Prefectural Governor of Jinzhou, "Yu Zuochen", even took to the field himself, killing the bishop of the Jinzhou diocese of the Guiyi Church.

He then burned all the churches in Jinzhou, and butchered everyone associated with them—a total of 20,000 people, including their family members and children.

Under such momentum, many with ulterior motives joined under the guise of the Pantheism Church.

~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, near Jinmen, in Zhu Family Village.

A unique troop of the Pantheism Church was surrounding and attacking a monastery.

They moved with skillful precision and extraordinary valor, and their guns were the latest models.

Moreover, under the commanders' coarse cloth uniforms was thick Steel Armor; these were clearly regular troops! It took them less than an hour to overtake the heavily guarded monastery.

A few Westerners had already been killed on the spot, and the remaining three thousand who had sought refuge with the Church were bound hand-to-hand in a line.

Although they had taken advantage of the Church's power to bully their neighbors and enjoyed prosperity, they did not believe they deserved death and now knelt, begging for mercy.

The army's commander was a big man with a mustache. At this moment, he slowly drew a katana.

The sword looked very strange. Even in broad daylight, it was surrounded by black mist, which upon close inspection, revealed numerous human faces.

"I, Long Jiguang, shall borrow your heads today, do not take offense," he said.

Having spoken, he began using the Eastern sword to behead all three thousand present, men and women, old and young alike, decapitating them with a single stroke!

Moreover, he did it extremely slowly, as if to let these people fully experience the pain and despair before death, taking particular pleasure in killing their loved ones before their eyes.

The scene instantly became an Inferno, filled with heaven-shaking cries and curses.

From morning until evening the killing went on, and the black mist on the katana grew much denser.

Long Jiguang nodded in satisfaction, "This 'Futsunomitama' sword has grown three times more powerful. Supervisor Yuan should be pleased this time."

"Regroup and return to camp!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, a similar scene was occurring with another group attacking a church.

But their equipment was much inferior; they were obviously a motley crew, yet they had bizarre assistance.

Just as the Westerners' cannon was about to fire, the screws on it inexplicably unscrewed themselves.

When the cannon fired, it burst, and red-hot metal splinters tore through countless bodies with a sizzling noise.

The church was easily overrun.

Afterward, a fairy-like figure commanded thousands of captives to kneel before a Maitreya Statue.

Holding a long flute and dressed in an elegant chest-high blouse and skirt, she was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Holy Lotus Sect—Li Yuechan.

At this time, she said serenely, "Pray sincerely and you may keep your lives."

Hearing this, the captives hurriedly knelt before the statue in trembling worship, generating differing amounts of devotional power.

But there were also some whose negative emotions stood out glaringly to the Heavenly Eye.

Li Yuechan waved her hand, and immediately the followers of the Holy Lotus Sect dragged these people away to be executed.

"If you do not wish to be slaughtered like dogs of the Western Religion, then devoutly worship the Maitreya Statue. Pray sincerely, and in the next life, you may be taken to the Pure Land of Bliss."

Having once been considered the most beautiful woman in the martial world, she had a firm grasp on her charisma; with a mix of soft and hard tactics coupled with the Spirit Refinement methods, she completely subdued all the captives.

Looking at the increasing power of collective will within the "offering vessel," Li Yuechan smiled contentedly.

There were many such occurrences, with countless sects taking advantage of the chaos to gather the power of collective will.

Moreover, in the eyes of these people, the situation was not yet chaotic enough. Only when the world was in complete disarray would it become their playground.

"Miao Feng Mountain," Golden Summit.

Lu Yao returned in triumph, his face beaming with pride as he made his way to the courtyard where the guest rooms were located.

No sooner had he returned than Li Pei came rushing over, but not to throw herself into his arms with an affectionate welcome. Instead, she came at him both scratching and hitting, angrily saying,

"You bastard, what do you mean by giving me a white tiger ornament!"

"Ha, only now do you understand its implication?"

"In these past few days, with nothing better to do, I read some idle books from the Wudang Sect and found out! You're awful!"

The collection of books at Taoist temples shuns neither meat nor veggie, and some things are described quite explicitly.

Having learned that her husband's gift had apparently been mocking her, Li Pei felt deeply embarrassed.

Liao Ya and Liao Qe watched the drama unfold with amused smiles, having already witnessed the miraculous aspects of Sister Li Pei.

It took a good while for Lu Yao to soothe this little tiger and calm her down, holding her tightly in his arms.

Having not been held in days, Li Pei's eyes brimmed with tears, and she shifted the conversation to ask, "Seeing you so joyous, my lord, did you encounter some good fortune this time?"

Lu Yao said with a smile, "I indeed came upon a great opportunity this time, let me show you the treasure I just acquired."

In front of the three curious women, a bronze mirror flew out of Lu Yao's mouth, growing to a foot in length as it caught the wind.

"Junior brother has obtained another magical treasure!?"

"A Dragon Pattern Mirror? This dragon looks so majestic."

Li Pei exclaimed, "Why do I sense such a strong dragon energy..."

Magical treasures were not as common as cabbages; it was uncertain if there were even ten still existing in the world. Yet, Lu Yao's Dragon Pattern Mirror faintly exuded the majestic aura of a true dragon!

Lu Yao laughed proudly, saying, "Watch closely~"

With that, the Dragon Pattern Mirror suddenly shone with golden light, transforming into a three-foot-long five-clawed golden dragon that circled around everyone present.

The three girls' mouths formed O-shapes, utterly astonished!

"It can grow to more than 50 meters~" Lu Yao boasted, "But it's too conspicuous. I'll show you its full form some other time."

The curious girls reached out to touch the golden dragon. Liao Ya marveled, "Dragon-shaped treasures are often incredibly powerful, containing endless might. No wonder you're so happy, junior brother."

Li Pei, with wide eyes, marveled, "This is a manifest magical treasure born from the power of collective will, ah~ It seems to like me particularly~"

The golden dragon nestled close to Li Pei, seemingly fond of her. Then it let out a high-pitched dragon's chant, which clarified the minds of everyone present.

"The dragon's roar can actually purify the mind and enlighten the spirit, amazing!"

"It must have great killing power against evil spirits!"

The sisters chirped in amazement.

Lu Yao, looking at the golden dragon nestled against Li Pei, suddenly said, "It likes you, could it be because you're a Royal Lady of the Imperial Family?"

Li Pei nodded, "Possibly. Divine Land has the concept of dragon energy, also called the Dynasty's Will, and I may have absorbed some."

Lu Yao nodded, then laughed, "In the future, I will surely get you a mighty magical treasure as well."

Li Pei had no doubts about Lu Yao's ability and looked forward with anticipation, smiling gratefully, "Thank you, my lord~"

Liao Ya and Liao Qe pouted, jealousy flaring up.

Lu Yao said with a grin, "Don't worry, dear sisters, I certainly won't forget about you~"

Only then did the sisters' faces break into smiles, the man before them had never let them down.
