Chapter 1295: Chapter 1296: Apologies Should Be Made with High Grace! Chapter 1295: Chapter 1296: Apologies Should Be Made with High Grace! The Bobozi of Heavenly Dragon Temple brought his hands together, and with a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished in an instant.
The surrounding super sect powers watched Bobozi leave, and then turned to Master Wuyuzi to ask, “Abbot Master, there are rumors that Xiao Lao Di and Elder Xueyuan of Blood Demon Sect joined forces to conduct a massive cleansing within the Buddha Country, eliminating the Power of Faith. Is this true or false?”
“Amitabha, well said, well said, indeed, it was Xueyuan in cahoots with Xiao Lao Di causing trouble within our Buddha Country. Moreover, that one called Master Wuhu wore a dog's head with a million merits, duping our Buddhist temples along the way, selling Huazi in large numbers, leading to the collapse of the entire Buddhist Sect's Power of Faith and the supply chain being severed!”
“However, our priority now is to prevent the infiltration of Blood Demon Sect. This sect has stood unshakable for over a thousand years; its profound heritage is unpredictable. We cannot allow any more mistakes within!”
Wuyuzi brought his hands together and made a sorrowful expression, slowly sighing as he spoke.
But in his heart, he was so angry that the Three Corpses Spirits were jumping madly. Facing Li Xiaobai and his party, he wishes he could personally execute them, but he could not do so. Xiao Lao Di was also a strong presence in the Saint Realm, and if a real fight broke out, it would be nothing more than internal consumption. Perhaps they could take down the other party, but they would have to pay a price nonetheless. They should refrain from fighting if possible before the advent of the Blood Demon Sect!
“So that's how it is.”
The sect leaders nodded, waiting for news from Bobozi.
A few minutes later.
A golden light descended, and Bobozi walked out, followed by a trail of dust as a group of cultivators rushed forth, travel-worn.
Upon recognizing the leading person, a hint of cold light flashed in Wuyuzi's eyes. He recognized those familiar figures at a glance. These individuals had the audacity to appear before him again, showing no regard for his Buddhist Sect!
It seemed they were representing a certain sect, but it was unknown which sect they represented!
“I am Li Xiaobai, the Peak Master of the Second Peak of Sword Sect, and I greet Abbot Master Wuyuzi and all the Sect Masters present!”
Li Xiaobai stood atop a golden chariot, with his hands clasped behind his back, laughing cheerfully, showing no sign of fear.
“The Peak Master of Sword Sect?”
“The Sword Sect from the Eastern Continent, the one backed by Beichen Feng?”
Hearing Li Xiaobai introduce himself, the cultivators were taken aback for a moment. Recently, the fame of this sect had been growing, garnering their attention. They had not expected that this force meddling with Buddhism in secret would also include the Sword Sect.
“Correct, it is indeed our Sword Sect.”
Li Xiaobai nodded.
“So to say, among the forces that destroyed our Buddhist Sect's Power of Faith that day, Sword Sect was also involved?”
Wuyuzi's expression completely darkened. He thought all the dog and chicken followers belonged to Elder Xueyuan, but it turned out that besides Xueyuan from Blood Demon Sect, the other three were from the Sword Sect!
“You're right, but not entirely.”
Li Xiaobai shook his head and said, “In fact, Blood Demon Sect had nothing to do with this. Abbot Master, don't you think Elder Xueyuan's figure resembles mine a bit?”
“No involvement of Blood Demon Sect?”
“Was that Xueyuan you in disguise that day?”
“Who are you exactly!”
The high-ranking monks of Buddhism glared at Li Xiaobai, their stares intense as they vaguely began to notice the overlap between Xueyuan and his figure. Was this really the same person?
“I am the Peak Master of the Second Peak of Sword Sect. My visit today is to resolve the issue with Blood Demon Sect; I have no intention of quarreling with Buddhist Sect. However, if the Buddhist Sect is aggressive, I wouldn't mind handling the Buddhist Sect as well!”
Li Xiaobai said coldly.
Atop the chariot, Chen Yuan held high a great banner, and firmly planted it into the ground, declaring loudly: “Today marks the arrival of Li Xiaobai, the Gang Leader of the Villain's Guild. Hearing that the Blood Demon Sect intends to spread wildly across the Central Origin Realm, I have come to offer assistance!”
By Li Xiaobai's side, his confidence was unprecedented, his gaze sweeping around with undisguised disdain. His expression and demeanor were brash to the extreme, even more provocative than Li Xiaobai himself, clearly conveying that in his eyes, everyone present was trash!
The Sword Sect disciples following him also bore expressions of utter disregard, as if the thousands of troops and hosts of experts before them were no more than fleeting clouds.
“Li Xiaobai?”
“The Sword Sect!”
“The Villain's Guild?”
“You are the rising star Li Xiaobai who has gained infamy recently!”
“So it was you who escaped from the Buddhist Pagoda that time!”
Upon seeing the banner emblazoned with a large “Villain” character, Sect Masters of several Super Sects found it hard to remain seated. The impression left by the Villain's Guild was profoundly deep; the battle at Ice Dragon Island shone with their splendid acts, where two Saint Realm experts emerged out of nowhere to save the island from dire straits. Moreover, it was this very faction that led to the abduction of all their Saint Heirs!
Buddhist Sect cultivators too, were no strangers to this name. The brash young prodigy who had once caused a ruckus within Buddhism and managed to escape the Buddhist Pagoda has been offered a hefty bounty by the Buddhist Sect ever since, although to no avail thus far.
Who would have thought that today would bring them face to face with their nemesis!
“Indeed, I am flattered that you all remember me!”
“However, with a formidable enemy before us, I believe none of us would wish for unnecessary complications. Let us put our personal grievances aside for now, and discuss how to face the Blood Demon Sect, shall we?”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.
“Amitabha, I admire Master Li's heightened awareness and understanding. I hold the same view: with a common enemy before us, we must act with the utmost caution!”
Wuyuzi's face turned ashen, resembling that of a pig's liver, and it was clear he was feeling uncomfortable, yet he nodded in agreement.
“Then, I would ask Master Abbot to disclose what dealings have transpired between the Buddha and Demon Clans, and what connections do they still maintain?”
Li Xiaobai nodded and asked, going right for the jugular to unearth the secrets of the Buddha and Demon Clans.
He came to the Western Continent to investigate the various hidden affairs of the Central Origin Realm, suspecting that the terror brought by Decay God Possession could be related to the secretive entanglements of these sects.
All these seemingly respectable characters were indulging in research of unseemly things behind closed doors, and he needed clarity.
“Buddhism is the righteous path, and the Blood Demon Sect is of the Demon Path; since ancient times, good and evil have never coexisted. The Buddhist Sect has always despised associating with demon heads, Master Li, why would you say such a thing!”
“According to the information this humble monk has received, the Blood Demon Sect shall launch an attack on the Buddhism of the Western Continent in three days' time. The reason we've summoned heroes from all over today is to prepare for this very battle, in hopes that everyone can focus on the matter at hand and not engage in acts that would disperse and weaken our combined resolve!”
Wuyuzi shook his head, speaking slowly, pulling everyone's attention back to the present. Indeed, the enemy would strike soon, and what good would it do to know more secrets about Buddhism now?
If Buddhism were to be destroyed, they too would struggle to survive. One's rise is everyone's rise; one's loss is everyone's loss!
Li Xiaobai narrowed his eyes: “Very well, then tell us, Master, how should we face the enemy?”
Wuyuzi answered solemnly: “As the saying goes, 'If I do not enter hell, who will?' This monk believes that to eradicate the evil across the land, necessary sacrifices are permissible!”
“So, what then?”
“We need a vanguard force!”
