"When did we...become enemies?"

Hu Ruier couldn't help but narrowed her eyes. Hu Ruier, who only had one soul here, didn't want to break up with Li Yanran.

At least after figuring out everything, Hu Ruier didn't want Lu Jun, Lu Yi and his son to be exposed to outsiders' eyes.

"From the time when the Eight Heavenly Celestials started to have strange movements..."

"Since you knew that Miyin Temple was closed but didn't tell me..."

"When Huiji returned to Weishan from Chang'an and everyone became aware of the trouble..."

With just a gentle wave of one hand, a shadow slowly rose from behind Li Yanran.

In the gusts of terrifying wind, countless ferocious evil spirits could be vaguely seen roaring and hissing.

Unlike the five ghosts who are known as the Five Plague Gods, the evil ghosts behind Li Yanran are her "trophies" over the years.

These evil spirits who originally caused trouble and harmed the people in various places in Tanzhou became the minions under her command after being subdued by Li Yanran.

Just one or a few of them might not be taken seriously by Hu Ruier.

But the problem is, once those hundreds or even thousands of evil spirits become large, Hu Ruier, even if he is here, cannot guarantee the safety of Lu Jun, Lu Yi and his son.

"I see. It seems that Huang Chao is more scheming than I thought."

Now that she had learned the truth about Li Yanran's falling out, Hu Ruier felt relieved.

"Li Yanran, you are one of the "Four Saints" personally selected by His Majesty!"

"Do you think that if I really plan to fall out with you, I will alert the rest of the Eight Divisions in advance?"

What Hu Rui'er told is the truth. Although she is the incarnation of Pei Hui, she is the recognized "temporary leader" among the eight heavenly beings.

But in terms of specific authority and power, Li Yanran, who has been a "white tiger" for many years, is not inferior to her at all, and in some aspects is even more prestigious than her.

After all, Hu Rui'er was just Pei Hui's spokesperson after she disappeared.

But Li Yanran is one of the four most powerful protectors under the "True Gods of Heaven".

In terms of influence alone, even Huang Chao, who inherited the title of "Xuanwu", may not be as strong as her.

"Then what's going on now?"

Not completely believing what Hu Ruier said, Li Yanran frowned and asked.

"Everyone knows about the unusual movements of the eight heavenly beings, the sudden closure of the Miyin Temple, and Hui Ji's departure from Chang'an..."

"Don't tell me these are just coincidences?"

"What happened?"

Listening to Li Yanran's question, Hu Ruier explained with some regret.

"Zen Master Lingyou passed away."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanran was stunned on the spot.

"What did you say? Zen Master Lingyou passed away!?"

The image of the eminent monk who was thin but full of wisdom seemed to flash before his eyes again.

Li Yanran still remembers that when she went to Weishan Mountain to ask for help, the compassionate Zen Master Lingyou patiently received her and listened to what happened to her.

After he experienced that nightmare experience, it was Zen Master Lingyou who gave him full trust...

When he was tortured by the tiger's power, it was also Zen Master Lingyou who enlightened him to accept the power from his "father"...

Without the help of Zen Master Lingyou, Li Yanran would not have known what her future would be like.

"How is it possible? How could Zen Master Lingyou pass away suddenly?"

As a member of the Eight Tribes of Heaven, Li Yanran naturally knew how much effort Pei Wende and Hui Ji put into healing Zen Master Lingyou's injuries in his early years.

Not to mention anything else, the number of precious medicinal materials that Hu Ruier is responsible for transporting up the mountain every year is an astronomical figure.

Most of those medicinal materials cannot be bought with money!

"I don't need to lie to you on this point..."

"At this time yesterday, Zen Master Lingyou decided to return to the Pure Land world and passed away at the waterfall on the mountain behind Miyin Temple."

Hu Ruier did not reveal too many details because she knew that it was enough.

Based on the relationship between Li Yanran and Hui Ji, the next thing she has to do is not to continue entangled with herself here, but to rush to the Miyin Temple that has been closed down as soon as possible.

Of course, before that, Li Yanran still had one question that remained unanswered.

"What are the Eight Celestial Beings planning to do? Are they planning to take advantage of this opportunity to cause chaos?"

Li Yanran knew from the beginning that the Eight Tribes of Heaven were not an iron plate, but a loose alliance established with Pei Hui's prestige.

Although there are eight divisions of heavenly beings within it, there are more and smaller forces under these eight divisions.

They are either leftist sects that have long lost their inheritance, or they are demons and ghosts that are outside the normal practice system...

But without exception, they were all attracted by the grand vision described by Pei Hui, and for this reason, they even did not hesitate to expose themselves to the vision of the world's righteousness.

The grand vision described by Pei Hui is based on the premise of subverting the three orthodox schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Buddhism.

This is the general trend accumulated from countless small chapters, and it is the general trend that even if Pei Hui is resurrected, he can only be carried forward.

Although Li Yanran has extremely high prestige among the eight heavenly beings, she will not be stupid enough to forcefully fight against such a general trend.

What Li Yanran wants to know most now is who secretly spread the news that Hui Ji left Chang'an?

And who wants to take this opportunity to forcibly subvert today's world?

"It's Huang Chao."

The pupils suddenly tightened, and Li Yanran instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because Li Yanran had been exposed to so many secrets, she knew that Huang Chao was definitely not just an ordinary great demon in troubled times.

The birth of Huangchao originated from the locust plague ten years ago, but its essence is a collection of disasters and fortunes in the world.

Even if there hadn't been the locust plague that year, Huang Chao would have been born in other forms to fulfill its mission of causing trouble in the world.

"This time, Huang Chao summoned some of his men without telling me. He wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to completely end the life of the Tang Dynasty."

Using the calmest words to express the most dangerous facts, Hu Ruier, who had made a decision in her heart, even felt a little relaxed.

"He also wanted to take the opportunity to win over me and ask me to stop Zen Master Fahai for him at the critical moment."

When she said this, Hu Ruier's voice paused for a moment before continuing.

"But I don't plan to join his camp..."

"Your Majesty has given me life-saving grace, and Zen Master Fahai has given me a chance to do it again. This is a kindness that I cannot repay."

"The most important thing is that the world has finally calmed down. I don't want my husband and children to continue to live in a chaotic world..."
