"Shanyu, this monk, at the age of forty, belongs to a vicious and bloodthirsty cunning breed.

Unlike other cultivators who cherish their reputation, he is the most shameless of all, even willing to dispense with his dignity.

He well knew that the Buddhist pair before him were both very young.

But to save his own life, he started calling them 'grandpa' and 'grandma,' willingly debasing himself to be like a grandchild.

Had he encountered someone else, some practitioner of heresy and heterodoxy or a Buddhist who does not distinguish between right and wrong, he might have been able to deceive them, especially since he threw out a lure at the very last moment.

He also complacently thought: This young pretty-faced monk is extremely ferocious, with mana reaching the heavens, must be from one of the Buddhist Major Sects, though powerful, his experience and knowledge are certainly limited, with my glib tongue and a keen mind, I can surely fool and preserve my life, and if I play my cards right, maybe I can even use him to kill others and get rid of this pretty-face.

Shanyu thought his scheme was foolproof, unfortunately, he encountered Master Tao.

Tao Qian, upon hearing the term 'Great Compassionate and Merciful Transcendent Bodhisattva,' raised his eyebrows but soon ran out of patience.

After a few words, he had figured out what kind of monk he was dealing with.

Opening his mouth, he then applied the Secret Technique.

Using the True Word Secret Decree, he asked:

'Tell me all that you know about the situation in Qiantang Province, all the secrets, let me hear them all.'

Upon hearing this question, Shanyu immediately felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He thought to himself that this pretty-face really was a naive Buddhist's son from a righteous path to interrogate secrets, not using methods like 'Soul-searching and Soul-capturing' or 'Enslave Soul' but just asking outright.

Not even a fledgling, only a downright fool.

As Shanyu was thinking this, in the next moment, his expression revealed an incomprehensible and unimaginable terror.

He was a monk from the Demon Buddha Temple alright, but only from the lowest ranks.

How could he have ever seen or heard of the 'True Word Secret Decree,' such a Supreme Method?

Completely unable to resist, he obediently opened his mouth to reply:

'Grandpa,'

'You asking me is like asking the right person, nowadays the whole Qiantang Province is under the control of our Demon Buddha Temple, tight as a drum, naturally it is our Demon Buddha monks who know the most, and your grandchild happens to be the best at finding out these things, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.'

'Let me first talk about the situation, at present, all checkpoints throughout Qiantang Province have already been opened.'

'Any person, any army, can march right in, even the tariffs are not being collected, all we wish is that more armies come, the more warlords, the better.'

'In these days, Zhang Mazi from the northeast provinces, Great Commander of Desert North Yelü Lushan, Qilu Province Wu Shaozu, Hong Fu, the Female Demon... Nearly all the big strong people from the Northern Land have sent people over, although most of them are not in person, but at least they are tens of thousands, or even one hundred and fifty thousand commanders of extraordinary forces.

'Particularly worth mentioning, and most laughable, are the remnants of the Zhu Dynasty.'

'There's a guy named 'Zhu Xun' who was an elder prince from the previous generation of the Zhu Dynasty, has been cultivating with the 'Louguandao,' one of the Twelve Daoist Sects, and luckily escaped disaster in the Imperial City.'

'Afterward, he defected from Louguandao, rallied a large number of Zhu's remnants, assembled an army, proclaimed himself emperor, and took over much of Yongzhou Province.'

'Hearing that the Devil Concubine Yuan Mingzhen was trapped in Qiantang, he recklessly led his army, racing overnight from Yongzhou all the way here.'

'Presumably for the Devil Concubine's Heavenly Phoenix Body, the remaining Fortune of the Zhu Dynasty upon her, and the Ancestor God Treasure 'Spring and Autumn Chariot,' thinking that if he could seize these, he had a chance of restoring the glory of the Zhu Dynasty.'

'Ha, a fool's dream, he doesn't even consider how many strong people and how many warlords there are in Qiantang Province now, where does he fit in?'

At this time, the dozen or so women and wives that Shanyu had captured in the temple temporarily forgot their fears.

All had puzzled expressions, looking at the demon monk that was obviously not right.

His face was full of pain and distortion, but he continued to speak passionately.

Even though they were all ordinary women, they guessed that this damned demon had fallen for the Buddhist son's Spell and was willingly leaking the secrets of his sect.

This kind of ability, making people confess voluntarily upon opening their mouths,

is actually quite strange.

But it also depends on who is casting it—when the ugly demon monk uses it, it's an Evil Technique.

If it's performed by a beautiful, untainted wonderful Buddhist's son, then it naturally becomes a sublime Divine Ability.

Having made fun of Zhu Xun, Shanyu continued:

'However, no matter who comes, no matter how many warlords, they're all destined not to get the Devil Concubine.'

'Not just the Devil Concubine; anyone who enters Qiantang is like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river, unable to save themselves.'

'Letting them into the province is precisely the decision of the high monks of our Demon Buddha Temple.'

'To trap the Devil Concubine in the old site of Han Mountain Temple is the same, she is a lure.'

'They covet the Devil Concubine's body, and we covet their bodies, their armies, like catching turtles in a jar, to refine the Buddha Treasure.'

'So Grandpa knows, that treasure is truly extraordinary.'

'It's called the 'Great Compassionate and Merciful Transcendent Bodhisattva.'

'It needs a Mechanical Secret Technique from 'Buddha' retrieved from the Outer Realm by our Demon Buddha Temple, combined with the true essence of Demon Buddha, to be refined.'

'But what is the Power of this Bodhisattva-shaped Buddha Treasure? How is it refined? How many can be refined? What is the intention after refining?'

'Although your grandchild is very curious, these are things I do not know, completely unable to find out.'

'The fact that I learned the name of that Buddha Treasure is only because I used a can of Buddha Incense Blood Wine to get Master drunk.'

After saying all this, Shanyu still felt it wasn't enough.

Thinking for a moment, he immediately sought to curry favor by adding:

'Grandpa, if you have any interest in that treasure, there is an opportunity right now.'
