The Buddha Lord had just perished, and these demons actually dared to attack, and their Buddha Lord, had indeed been killed by these very demons!
Many who had escaped from Mount Wuliang and witnessed Li Hao slaying the Buddha Lord now wavered, with an imperial edict before them and demonic forces raising their banners in assault behind them, compounded with the long history of demon wickedness and treacherous Demon Arts that had sunk deep into the hearts of the Human Race.
"Kill!"
"Avenge the Buddha Lord!"
"Our Buddha is merciful, I will vanquish demons!"
Many Buddhist monks cast off their Kasayas, donned their armor, and joined the fray against the demons.
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace court,
The ministers who had previously condemned Li Hao were trembling with fear, some even declared severe illness to rest at home, daring not to attend court.
