When Yuan Xiao's gaze shifted toward the Grand Wei Treasure Palace, Fu Lizi's heart lurched. 'Could it be that Daoist guiding him from the shadows again?'
The Life-Extinguishing Demon-Mara Banner had a formidable reputation, but it was an ancient Magical Treasure whose origins were obscure and impossible to verify.
Its roots could likely be traced back to the "Demon Buddha" who betrayed the Ximizhou Continent in ages past.
He was a monstrous talent on the level of a Daoist Monarch, who had once served as the abbot of Hongfa Monastery. Furthermore, at the "Unrestricted Dharma Assembly" held once every three hundred and sixty years, his rhetoric was so sharp and his speech so eloquent that he debated the assembled monks into stunned silence.
The reasons why the Demon Buddha betrayed the Buddhist Dao, abandoned its Daoist Lineage, and sought to establish his own sect remain largely unknown to this day.
