Chapter 140 – Setting A Demon Free (2)
Almost at the same time the assassins made their move, Mo Linyuan also received a terrible news. In order to provoke Mo Linyuan, the empress dowager declared that she would wipe out the temple as well, including his person, Ye Mu.
In this way, Mo Linyuan would no longer be able to leave even if he wanted to. At the very least, he had to bring Ye Mu along with him.
“Your Majesty! Let’s return to the palace! Or retreat to the barracks! According to the reports, the empress dowager had sent out numerous people this time. Our forces are not a match!”
Mo Linyuan had only been in power for so long. Therefore, he didn’t have as many connections and people like the empress dowager and the other aristocratic families combined.
A grim expression was fixed on his youthful face; the rain flowed down his skin and his eyes, but the light in them shone even brighter!
“Take my medallion to the barracks and have them deliver troops to me. Also, notify the imperial tutor and the others to quickly assist you. If they want to fight, I will accompany them. If they don’t have enough inner force masters, it doesn’t matter if we have to use ten times of the imperial army for defense!”
In any case, he was determined to protect the Heaven’s Inheritance Temple!
Meanwhile, inside the temple, the Silent Buddhist Monk had no way to know that the wilderness below the temple was going to turn into a mini battlefield. He was holding the needle in his hand, facing the biggest problem of his life.
If he were to pierce through her meridians and forcefully wake up Ye Mu, it would mean that she would catalyze the demons in her body in advance.
But if he refuse to wake her up this time, Ye Mu would still open her eyes after ten years. And by then she would become the most frightening power by the side of the new Emperor.
For the past eighteen years, he had saved people every single day. He had donated money to the poor, helped treat their illnesses, and solved their adversities. But with the needle and the decision resting on him, he was no longer the great master he was before.
The reason why he had resisted Mo Linyuan’s request to save her was because he was afraid of today. Yet, ultimately the person was given to him in the very end.
Perhaps this was truly heaven’s will.

In order to protect the monks of the Heaven’s Inheritance Temple, Mo Linyuan deliberately sealed everyone from entering the mountains. Only when the assassins arrived did Mo Linyuan realize the startling power that was in the hands of those aristocratic families. Moreover, these inner force masters were all dead soldiers.
People with a hundred years of heritage are the only ones able to cultivate them!
The clash between the soldiers and the killers had become a one-sided massacre between the inner force masters. However, Mo Linyuan had taken advantage of the terrain and the heavy rain to occupy the high ground, which had dealt the enemy quite a big blow.
Five thousand soldiers versus five hundred inner force masters; this small-scale battle had happened very suddenly. But the battlefield became as if they have been in the fray for a long time, particularly months.
For more than ten years since Zhao Yunqin had seized power, she had never suffered a loss from anyone, not to mention being bitten by a little wolf cub that she had not even paid attention to before; killing intent had accumulated in her chest for a long time.
On the other hand, although Mo Linyuan looked gentle and harmless, he was actually a decisive strategist, allowing him to lower his deceitfully lower his head to Zhao Yunqin and stay by her side until his plans were brought into fruition.
On one side was an empress dowager, who had gained power for a long time. And on the other was a young emperor, who was not afraid of tigers and wolves. This was only a clash that had come too late.
Just as the fight at the foot of the mountain was getting more intense by a thousand-fold. Inside the temple, the Silent Buddhist Master silently cried out to Buddha in his heart before slowly inserting a silver needle into Ye Mu’s skin.
Not only did he want to awaken Ye Mu, he also wanted to catalyze the energy within Ye Mu’s body that had yet to be digested. Although she would avoid becoming an oppressing force, a terrible temperament was waiting her.
Although she would soon return to the side of someone close to her… a seven-year-old child who is still immature and unable to withstand herself will eventually still hurt the people around her in the most vicious manner possible.
