Breaking the Bones

The uprising spread like a prairie fire into two thirds of the tribes. The earliest rebel force had now become the strongest with over four thousand soldiers. They were so valiant that in one year they had crossed the Wilderness from the remotest cliff to within two hundred miles to the giant peak.

Although they were still not able to weaken the foundation of the Buddha land, the Xuankong Temple had sensed the tremendous threat. The monks would never allow those rebels to mount the divine hill.

Qi Nian was the World Wayfarer of Buddhism. Being the most powerful in the Xuankong Temple, he had been guarding the only path to the peak ever since the uprising turned vigorous. He seemed as invincible as that person who guarded the front of the Verdant Canyon years ago. However, with the rebellion army approaching, he could no longer sit still.
