Chapter 763: Chapter 57: No Buddha in Yuanzhou

At this point, Bu Xiao had never been more troubled. Theoretically, the Longzhou Youth Martial Arts Competition had been held for twenty times, and even though it was his first time presiding, with the backing of past experiences, everything should have proceeded smoothly.

Yet on the first day of the competition, Bu Chen was severely wounded putting him out of contention for this year. This unnerving start forced Bu Xiao to invite a few Grandmasters to oversee the event at Bifang Mountain, in hopes of avoiding the unpleasantness of the first day reoccurring.

Just as the second day of the competition was closing smoothly, Buddha Son Yankong and Tang Luo started fighting at Chongming Peak.

Looking at the medicine valley of Chongming Peak that had been reduced to ruins, Bu Xiao, who didn’t believe in gods or Buddha, couldn’t help but conceptualize a peculiar thought. Was this competition cursed?

Otherwise, why would a straightforward martial arts exchange entail so many bizarre twists?

In response to the mediation by the host, Bu Xiao, Xu Lao Ying reluctantly let go of his fighting stance; not out of fear of the Grandmaster of the Martial Saint Mountain, but because Bu Xiao was his friend and he didn’t want to make things difficult for him.

However, he didn’t extend the same consideration for Buddha Son Yankong. Raising his golden Emperor’s Void Phoenix Sword high, the divine sword slashed through the imprisoned airspace, tearing a void in the sky. With a cold face, Xu Lao Ying looked at Buddha Son Yankong and curtly said, “On behalf of Xu Clan, Xu Lao Ying believes that the Buddha’s Dharma is absurd and damaging to society. By the order of the Emperor’s Void Phoenix Divine Sword, the propagation of Zen teachings is forbidden in Yuanzhou, the Sutra of No Suffering and Extinction shall be destroyed, and its monks are commanded to return to secular life. All fortunes from the Three Jewels shall be scattered among the people and additional lands for temple building shall be provided to the local clans. Anything not documented in the rites shall be discarded.”
