Lin Jiufeng activated the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait and blocked the entrance of the demon's den.

Rumble…

One by one, excited demonic creatures rushed out. They were coming out at breakneck speeds, not caring about anything else. Considering how fast they were going, they didn't manage to stop in time and directly crashed against the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

The Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait displayed its might.

Even though it was incomplete, an immortal artifact still had the foundation of an immortal artifact. The immortal grand arrays hidden within its body overlapped and linked with each other. They were tightly packed, yet they melded perfectly together in harmony.

Once they were all activated at once, they would surely be able to display the might of a true immortal artifact.

Although the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait could only display a fraction of its true power, it was still one of the top treasures in the mortal realm.

Especially in Lin Jiufeng's hands—it became the number one magic treasure in the world.

Upon its activation, the array formations inside began to operate.

It wasn't every array, nor was it half of the arrays inside.

It was just 1% of the array formations that managed to stir into action.

But even so, the might of this 1% far exceeded what the demonic creatures could withstand.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

One demonic creature after another was minced into pieces by the array formations, unable to resist at all.

The surging blood splashed onto the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait, but it flowed into the Yangtze River in the painting.

It stained the Yangtze River red, but it was washed away after a short while.

The corpses of the demonic creatures were buried under the Mount Daqing in the painting.

They didn't cause any ruckus at all.

Dealing with them was easy as pie.

The demonic creatures that constantly worried the Dalin Temple were instantly killed after charging into the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.

They couldn't resist at all.

They wanted to escape and hide, but they became trapped in the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait. Thus, they couldn't escape nor hide.

They had no other fate other than to be minced to death.

Lin Jiufeng didn't make a move throughout.

He only supplied True Qi for the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait and let it operate on its own.

The scene shocked Monk Qingyun.

"What kind of magical weapon is that? It's actually so terrifying?" Monk Qingyun asked in shock.

"This Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait is specially created to deal with these demonic creatures," Lin Jiufeng replied.

"It's too terrifying! The demonic creatures are completely helpless against that magical treasure," Monk Qingyun exclaimed.

"If you used the Buddhist relics and the Buddha Golden Body, it would have the same effect," Lin Jiufeng said.

Monk Qingyun sighed. "Why wouldn't I want to take them out to suppress the demonic creatures here? But it's a pity that the Dalin Temple only has one item, and it doesn't have any ability."

Lin Jiufeng chatted with Monk Qingyun while watching the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait kill the demonic creatures.

"Why?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Senior, you might not know this, but more than 1,000 years ago, the three sects were still in harmony with each other. There was only one Mount Song in the Jiangnan area and everyone was doing okay."

Seeing that the demonic creatures were no longer a threat, Monk Qingyun relaxed and told Lin Jiufeng about the past.

"In the past, Mount Song was the only Buddhist sect in the Jiangnan area. But as more and more people joined the sect, the fish and dragons became mixed together, and people's hearts wavered…"

"It was no longer as pure as before…

"With the differences in ideals, the Dalin Temple was born."

"Our Dalin Temple appeared and traveled far away from Mount Song…"

"We didn't want to argue with them too much."

"We chose a place to build a Buddhist sect that belonged solely to us. In the end, we discovered this demon's den. In order to prevent the demonic creatures here from coming into being and causing trouble for the common people outside, the ancestors decided to take root and establish the Dalin Temple close to this small hill."

"The departure of our Dalin Temple seemed to have sparked even more outrage on Mount Song."

"Then, there was internal strife. The disputes didn't stop, and the Xuankong Temple appeared."

"In the beginning, the Xuankong Temple didn't want to leave Mount Song. They also wanted to compete for the right to stay on Mount Song. But in the end, they still left."

"Just like that, the Buddhist sects were divided into three sects, each saying that they are the true and orthodox sect."

"Because the Dalin Temple took away Buddha's writings, the Xuankong Temple took away Buddha's scepter, and Mount Song kept Buddha's relics, all of us can be said to be orthodox Buddhist sects."

"None of the three factions were willing to submit to the other. This continued for a long time."

Monk Qingyun explained.

Lin Jiufeng didn't know about this past.

He only knew that there were three Buddhist sects in the Jiangnan area.

He didn't know that the grudges between the three Buddhist sects ran so deep.

"Did you guys only take the writings that Buddha left behind?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Yes. The relics of Buddha and Buddha's scepter are very powerful, especially the scepter. It's extremely powerful. Some people say that the scepter is an immortal artifact, but no one has been able to obtain its recognition, so it has been collecting dust all this time."

"The relic of Buddha is also very powerful. It represents the relic that was formed from Buddha's cultivation. If I were to bring it here, it wouldn't be a problem at all to suppress the demonic creatures."

"Unfortunately, both the relic and the scepter are not in the Dalin Temple."

Monk Qingyun added.

"Why didn't the Dalin Temple choose those two treasures back then?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Actually, among the three treasures left behind by Buddha, the most inconspicuous one is Buddha's writing. Very few people would choose it. After all, the relic and the scepter are both physically and visibly powerful."

"But the ancestors of our Dalin Temple unanimously agreed that Buddha's writing is the most powerful because it is a scripture written by Buddha…"

"It records some of the deeds of Buddha's life, some of his insights, and also his enlightenment in the path of Buddhism. If one can understand the writings, it is equivalent to a face-to-face Dao discussion with Buddha."

"That alone is a priceless treasure."

Monk Qingyun replied firmly.

Dalin Temple didn't regret choosing Buddha's writing. For them, it was also a treasure.

"If that's the case, then…"

Lin Jiufeng copied Monk Qingyun's actions just now and looked at him without blinking.

Of course, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't have any special expression like the latter earlier.

He just stared straight at Monk Qingyun.

Monk Qingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Senior has helped my Dalin Temple solve such a huge problem. I can naturally let you see the Buddha's writing, but you cannot take it away."

"No problem, I don't need to take them away either," Lin Jiufeng said in satisfaction.

Monk Qingyun was very tactful.

It was more comfortable to chat with such a tactful person.

Lin Jiufeng was given the chance to read the writings of Buddha.

He looked at the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait in satisfaction.

He suddenly realized that there were no more demonic creatures in the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.

What was going on?

Lin Jiufeng took a few steps forward and lowered his head to take a look.

He couldn't help but be speechless.

The demonic creatures that charged the fastest just now wanted nothing more than to rush out and start a massacre.

But now, the rest of them remained hidden inside. Their faces were hideous, and they bared their fangs and brandished their claws.

They were filled with hatred, but they didn't dare to come out.

The Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait hovered above the demon's den, like a yaksha waiting to claim their lives.

Hundreds of demonic creatures had already died.

If they went up, wouldn't they die too?

Lin Jiufeng looked at them and shouted. "Come up! I have already opened the seal for you lot. You lot will be able to see the new world once you've come up."

The demonic creatures glared at Lin Jiufeng. They roared ferociously and cursed non-stop.

What new world? The netherworld?

Lin Jiufeng was simply despicable.

He was trying to get them killed.

"If you guys don't come up, it doesn't matter…" Lin Jiufeng shook his head, bored.

He reached out and pointed at the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.

Boom!

The Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait immediately activated a few other arrays.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

A huge and terrifying suction force appeared, directly sucking the demonic creatures out of the cave and killing them instantly.

A few moments later, the demonic creatures were wiped out.
