Chapter 1294: Chapter 1295: Audacious to the Extreme Chapter 1294: Chapter 1295: Audacious to the Extreme In the midst of the golden vortex, the Sword Sect's forces emerged, standing in stark contrast with the surrounding powers, with merely about a thousand people entering the scene.
Which of the neighboring sect powers had fewer than a hundred thousand cultivators present?
Compared to these colossal entities, the numerous cultivators of the Sword Sect seemed like mere earthworms among a throng of pythons, easily manipulated by anyone.
“Eh, someone else is coming!”
“Whose forces are these, coming in with just a thousand people? How presumptuous!”
“This number of troops is not even enough to escort resources; they truly show no respect for the Buddhist Sect!”
Cultivators passing by could not help but glance at Li Xiaobai and his group; knowing that this was a battle against the Blood Demon Sect, no one wanted to be the first to charge to the frontline and become cannon fodder. With so few people and no breath of a ferociously strong person to sit in charge, didn't this clearly invite bullying by various sect powers?
The most critical thing is, they only came with a thousand people, but why do they all look so brash and bold?
They seem to have merely the cultivation level of the third realm of Immortals at most, so what's with the arrogant look on their faces, what's there to be domineering about?
“Just worrying about who to send to battle first, it seems like their sect has already abandoned them. Let's talk to Master Wuyuzi later and have this bunch go first!”
“But those few leading the group seem somewhat familiar!”
“That elder, and that dog, and that chicken, they all seem strikingly familiar!”
“Holy shit, that's Xiao Lao Di, that dog is Nicholas Er Gouzi, and that chicken is with them. It's said that the team the Blood Demon Sect sent to sever the Buddha Country's Power of Faith was just such a combination! They actually came back!”
There were many cultivators present, and with a vast army pressing on, there were always some who knew their stuff. Upon closer observation, they realized something was amiss. The group's formation, led by a few, was way too recognizable. Except for the young man at the front who they did not recognize, weren't the other three the ones who had created a commotion among the four worst villains not long ago?
It was these people who had cut off the supply chain of the Power of Faith to the Buddhist Sect, so how could they dare to show up in the Buddha Country again?
“It really is them, coming at the perfect time. No matter what Xiao Lao Di used to be, returning to the Pure Land of the Buddhist Sect, he can only be treated as cannon fodder to be sent into the eye of the storm!”
“Go, report the situation here to the Great Thunderclap Temple and the neighboring several Super Sects; they will naturally know what to do!”
This was a small sect's encampment in the Southern Continent, and though it was a small sect, it had also dispatched eighty thousand elite soldiers. Upon seeing the Sword Sect group, they immediately prepared to report, hoping to find a scapegoat so that these small sects wouldn't have to be the first to the frontline as cannon fodder.
Ignoring the commotion of the surrounding crowd, Li Xiaobai and his group headed for the core area of the Great Thunderclap Temple on their own.
“Kid, aren't our numbers a bit too few?”
“And it seems like we've been recognized by others!”
Ergouzi whispered, its confidence waning. The combination of a chicken, a dog, and an old man was too conspicuous; anyone could recognize them.
“It's fine. The Buddhist Sect needs manpower. During dangerous times, no one dares to point fingers at us. If anyone dares to gossip, without waiting for the Blood Demon Sect to make a move, I'll flip this Buddha Country first!”
Li Xiaobai said.
“You keep boasting. We don't even have a single Saint Realm powerhouse among us, we're definitely fated to be cannon fodder. It's agreed, if we encounter a tough opponent I'm turning tail and running–don't blame me for not showing loyalty!”
Ji Wuqing said contemptuously.
“Kid, what exactly did you do in the Buddhist Sect? It seems like you're getting in over your head. Should we apologize to them and ask for mercy?”
Listening to the idle chat of the few, the old beggar became restless, feeling unable to keep his composure as the discussions among the surrounding cultivators made him feel somewhat uneasy.
“Senior, you're mistaken. Apologizing should be done with an even higher stance, full of pretension. Sometimes, you can't indulge them!”
Li Xiaobai looked calm and composed, without a hint of timidity.
Old beggar: “…”
He knew that Li Xiaobai and his group were eccentric, but he hadn't expected them to be this outrageous. The extent of it had far surpassed what it had been before. What on earth had happened to him during his time impersonating Xiao Lao Di at the Sword Sect? This was just too unreliable. Stirring up trouble on someone else's turf and still wanting to take a high stance? Where did that confidence come from?
He had already made preparations to bolt at a moment's notice. If things went south, he planned to immediately make a break for it. Having interacted with Xiao Lao Di during his days at the Sword Sect, he had a few precious talismans in hand, which should make escaping the Western Continent no problem at all.
A group marched grandly through the encampments of the great forces and Sect establishments, heading straight to the heartland of the Great Thunderclap Temple. Those stationed there to guard were exclusively from the Super Sect of the Southern Continent, currently discussing the next steps with Master Wuyuzi.
High-level members from other medium and small Sects were also participating in the discussion. These were core secrets, only known to the high-ranking officials.
“Sect Master! Master!”
“According to a cultivator from the Iron Sword Sect, they spotted cultivators who appeared to be among the four notorious villains near the Iron Sword Sect's encampment, including Xiao Lao Di, as well as a chicken and a dog!”
A young novice monk came forward to report, with his hands pressed together in a gesture of respect, bowing as he spoke.
“What did you say!”
“Xiao Lao Di, a chicken, and a dog!”
“What about Xueyuan? Did you see Xueyuan?”
“How could they still have the nerve to come here? Someone come with me to capture these demons and cleanse the evil!”
“It's precisely these fellows who have caused trouble in the Pure Land of the Buddhist sect, and now they have the audacity to stand right before this poor monk. This is intolerable!”
Before the leaders of the great Super Sects could say anything, the abbots and masters of monasteries including the Bodhi Temple and Heavenly Dragon Temple couldn't sit still. This combination was all too familiar to them; it was these individuals who had dropped that so-called Magic Treasure named Huazi over their temples, leading all cultivators of the Buddhist Sect to awaken. Even though they had immediately taken countermeasures which only managed to convert a batch of Semi-Saints, around a hundred or so, the rest of the cultivators were abandoned and prohibited from leaving the Western Continent.
Facing their sworn enemies, their anger was exceptional, in the presence of the very culprits who had severely weakened the foundation of the Buddhist Sect and made it unstable, they could not contain their fury!
“Wait a minute!”
“Calm down!”
“Today's visitors are guests. No matter what their intentions are, they have come at this poor monk's invitation to resist the Blood Demon Sect. It's better to ask them face-to-face about certain things.”
“Bring the person here. With the great enemy of the Blood Demon Sect before us, it is not appropriate to stir up unnecessary conflict within the Buddha Country. We must be careful in all our actions, and if we must take action, we must ensure no troops are wasted, and we achieve total suppression!”
Sitting centermost, Abbot Wuyuzi raised his hand to stop the movements of Bobozi and Huyan. These two monasteries had been thoroughly conned, not only losing their monks who had been freed from the Power of Faith's baptism but also their years of savings, which were fully handed over to others, inadvertently dressing someone else in their bridal gowns. Such anger was only natural.
“That's fine. This old monk will go forth and bring the person here!”
