There have been several consecutive trade disruptions at the Jieshan Checkpoint. Sometimes, the Senluo Sect would use the excuse that there were problems with the goods and seize normal goods.
Sometimes the legitimate side seizes the goods, and the relationship between the two sides reaches a freezing point in a short period of time.
In particular, the goods of businesses related to Chiba Temple were subject to extremely strict inspections.
Although not every cargo from businesses related to Chiba Temple would be seized by the Senluo Sect, the passage of their goods was no longer as smooth as before.
This is a loss for Chiba Temple.
Of course, the goods of other major sects also encountered troubles, but not as frequently as Chiba Temple.
As a result, the originally tense relationship between Ying Hou and Xin Tong, the two righteous guardians of the Golden Elixir, and Zhiguang Arhat was eased because of their common hatred of the enemy.
Finally, this behavior of mutual harm caused dissatisfaction between the Senluo Sect and the three major orthodox sects, and several major sects sent orders requesting negotiations.
The negotiation will naturally be conducted by the Jindan elders who are guarding here.
On this day, Li Yuanba received the notice early. He came to the Jieshan Checkpoint, met with Jiang Pu and three other Jindan elders, and passed the checkpoint into the buffer zone.
"Junior Brother Li, this time we will hold Ying Hou and Xin Tong back, and you must deal with Zhiguang Arhat as quickly as possible!" Jiang Pu said to Li Yuanba through telepathy.
This was something that had already been discussed, so Li Yuanba had no objection.
As for Qianye Temple's actions this time, he also saw the conspiracy behind it.
Just last night, nine Arhats quietly entered the righteous checkpoint. Even Ying Hou and Xin Tong, the two guarding golden elixirs, were unaware of this.
The reason why Li Yuanba knew this was because of the surveillance of the drone satellite system.
Although it was night, the nine Arhats were targeted by the drone satellite system of the original body Li Shiming when they left Qianye Temple.
After Li Yuanba learned about this, he was not very worried.
Although there are many Nine Arhats, with his combat power, he can escape if he cannot defeat them. What's more, this place is very close to the formation. As long as the Nine Arhats do not subdue him instantly, he will have time to return to the range of the formation and use the power of the formation to protect himself.
"I will do my best!" Li Yuanba replied via voice transmission.
They arrived at the middle of the buffer zone first, waiting for the arrival of the monks from the righteous side.
Li Yuanba couldn't help but feel surprised by Qianye Temple's methods. He knew that the Nine Arhats were already nearby, but the drone satellite system could not find any trace of the Nine Arhats.
"Here it comes!" Jiang Pu reminded in a deep voice.
From the main checkpoint, Ying Hou led the way, followed by Xin Tong and Zhiguang Arhat.
When Zhiguang Arhat saw Li Yuanba, his expression did not change, but his eyes flashed with surprise.
Chiba Temple paid a considerable price for this action.
When he arrived at the Jieshan Checkpoint, he offended almost all forces.
He cut off the financial resources of all forces here. If it weren't for the support of Qianye Temple, he would have been surrounded and killed by now.
Even so, he will still have a lot of troubles, and various forces will continue to cause trouble for him in the days to come.
But as long as we can catch Li Yuanba, everything will be worth it.
Li Yuanba inherits two kinds of supernatural powers from Qianye Temple, one is the inheritance of the power of divine feet, the other is the inheritance of telepathy. In addition, Li Yuanba is suspected to be the reincarnation of a great Buddhist. These are the reasons why Qianye Temple will not let Li Yuanba go no matter what.
As a Buddhist sect, Qianye Temple will not allow the great Buddhists to switch to the Demon Sect.
Li Yuanba has not yet awakened his memories of his past life and is most susceptible to influence. Qianye Temple needs to bring Li Yuanba back to the temple and use Buddhist teachings to help him return to Buddhism.
In order not to arouse Li Yuanba's vigilance, this action was taken a long time after the last action against Li Yuanba.
"Friend Ying, nice to meet you again!" Jiang Pu greeted Ying Hou.
Although they had privately agreed to get rid of the troublesome Zhiguang Arhat, they still had to put in some superficial effort.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have gone too far. We have suffered great losses!" Ying Hou said in a deep voice.
"It's the same for us. You have intercepted so many of our goods, and we will retaliate in kind!" Jiang Pu replied with a smile.
"Then follow the rules. Whoever has the bigger fist is right. But there are four of you. This is against the rules!" Ying Hou pointed at Li Yuanba and said.
"Junior Brother Shi won't take action. We will only send out three people!" Jiang Pu waved his hand.
"Zhiguang Arhat, what do you think?" Ying Hou turned and asked Zhiguang Arhat.
Although the relationship between them has eased, it is not a relationship of mutual trust.
"My temple has some conflicts with donor Li, so why don't I deal with him!" Arhat Zhiguang seemed to be unaware of the conspiracy. He looked at Li Yuanba indifferently and said.
Li Yuanba took a step forward and pounced towards Zhiguang Arhat.
His action surprised all the monks present. They didn't expect him to start fighting without even saying a word.
However, Ying Hou and Xin Tong, the two righteous Jindan elders, did not try to stop him. This was something they had already discussed. Besides, Zhiguang Arhat took the initiative to ask for a battle with Li Yuanba, and there was nothing wrong with Li Yuanba's behavior.
A look of doubt flashed in Zhiguang Arhat's eyes. He knew that Li Yuanba was a sword cultivator, so he had been on guard against Li Yuanba's flying sword.
But when Li Yuanba pounced, he did not activate the flying sword. He just pounced forward, which was not like the fighting style of a sword cultivator at all.
Zhiguang Arhat summoned a flying sword magic weapon, which flew towards Li Yuanba. He also summoned a bronze bell and placed it on his head. The bronze bell was a defensive magic weapon, which emitted a defensive shield to protect his entire body.
Just as the flying sword magic weapon shot towards Li Yuanba, a third-grade sword-based magic weapon appeared in Li Yuanba's hand.
The third-grade sword-based magic weapon didn't seem to use much power and lightly tapped on the flying sword magic weapon. However, at this moment, the terrifying Zhiyang sword intent plus the spiritual power gap on the surface of the flying sword magic weapon found by the "Divine Eyes" made the third-grade sword base act directly on the flying sword magic weapon itself.
Zhiguang Arhat did not know that Li Yuanba had mastered the 'Divine Eyes', otherwise he would not have failed to notice the protection of his own flying sword magic weapon. The 'Divine Eyes' played a small role in the battle, and it was only an ability to see more clearly than ordinary cultivators.
As long as you are prepared for this and make some changes to your spiritual power, you can completely avoid being controlled by the "Divine Eyes".
The use of 'Divine Eyes' is extremely secretive and does not have any external form, which is why Zhiguang Arhat still does not know that Li Yuanba possesses the 'Divine Eyes' ability.
The Supreme Yang Sword Intent invaded into the interior of the flying sword magic weapon with a light tap. The Supreme Yang Sword Intent rampaged inside the flying sword magic weapon, instantly causing the flying sword magic weapon to lose its spiritual power.
Zhiguang Arhat let out a muffled groan, which was the backlash of the flying sword magic weapon.
The muffled groan was due to his mental trauma. Although it was not serious, it still made him dazed for half a breath.
Li Yuanba's target was not Zhiguang Arhat's magic flying sword. He took advantage of the momentum to speed up his approach towards Zhiguang Arhat.
When he arrived in front of Zhiguang Arhat, he changed to holding the hilt of the third-grade sword with both hands, and activated the "divine eyesight" in his eyes.
Zhiguang Arhat was mentally traumatized and had no time to control his own spiritual power. Zhiguang Arhat's defense was autonomously controlled by the bronze bell magic weapon he had previously controlled.
The copper bell magic weapon was not controlled by a cultivator, so its spiritual power lines would not be flexible. With Li Yuanba's "Divine Eyes", he discovered the spiritual power gap.
Li Yuanba chopped down with both hands, cutting through the defense of the bronze bell magic weapon. The current defense of the bronze bell magic weapon was in its initial form.
The copper bell magic weapon has two states. One is floating above the head, using the defensive patterns on the copper bell magic weapon to form a spiritual shield to protect the whole body of Zhiguang Arhat.
In another state, the copper bell magic weapon becomes larger, covering the entire body of Zhiguang Arhat inside the copper bell magic weapon, thus achieving the strongest defensive effect.
But Li Yuanba first injured Zhiguang Arhat's spirit, which made Zhiguang Arhat unable to control the bronze bell magic weapon. His attack was too fast and did not give Zhiguang Arhat any time to recover. He broke the defense of the bronze bell magic weapon with one sword.
With a "puff" sound, a huge head flew up.
As Zhiguang Arhat's head flew up, he was also recovering from his mental trauma, with disbelief and despair flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that Li Yuanba's fighting ability would be so strong. He was beheaded by Li Yuanba's sword before he could even block a single blow.
Ying Hou and Jiang Pu on the side hadn't started fighting yet, and hadn't even started to make any superficial moves, but the battle here was over.
For a moment, Jiang Pu and Ying Hou were both a little embarrassed. They didn't know whether they should fight again to make this conflict more realistic.
Li Yuanba's spiritual thoughts swept over Zhiguang Arhat's body, took the space ring, and also put away the flying sword magic weapon and the bronze bell magic weapon.
After doing all this, he did not relax at all. He still remained on guard and observed the situation around him.
In fact, not only the Jindan elders from both the righteous and evil sides who were fighting here were shocked, but even the nine Arhats who were hiding in the dark using special means were also stunned.
According to the previous plan, Zhiguang Arhat would lead Li Yuanba into their encirclement, and then the nine Arhats would set up a formation to quickly capture Li Yuanba and retreat.
The entire plan was repeatedly scrutinized, and all the Arhats who were involved in it believed that the plan was feasible.
But they never expected one thing, that is, Zhiguang Arhat was killed without even taking a single blow from Li Yuanba.
"I found you!" Li Yuanba shouted in a deep voice.
His divine sense swept out. Although he did not have the Starlight Sea formation, his understanding of the formation was no weaker than any formation master.
This was the knowledge shared by his original body, Li Shiming. During the scanning, his divine sense discovered a faint aura of formation.
This should be some kind of secret formation of Qianye Temple. The aura is extremely weak. If it was placed somewhere else, Li Yuanba might not even notice the existence of this formation aura.
Knowing that there were nine Arhats nearby, he made this discovery when he scanned with his divine sense.
The Wanjian Peak in his hand flew out and turned into a huge mountain in the air, pressing down towards a place a hundred meters away.
At the same time, he also rushed towards that place, not caring that he was also under the power of Wanjian Peak's magic weapon.
He knew very well that the Wanjianfeng magic weapon could not block nine mid-stage Arhats at the same time, but he was sure that the nine mid-stage Arhats would be affected by the Wanjianfeng magic weapon. The length of time of this influence would depend on the strength of the nine mid-stage Arhats themselves.
As for how to better utilize mountain-type magic weapons, the original body Li Shiming has given the best demonstration.
The Wanjianfeng magic weapon is Li Yuanba’s magic weapon. Although it is not his natal magic weapon, it was made by him personally.
This made the degree of refining of Wanjianfeng's magic weapon reach the extreme. Even under the power of Wanjianfeng's magic weapon, the impact he suffered was many times smaller than that suffered by the enemy.
In particular, the sword intent within Wanjianfeng's magic weapon would not have any effect on him at all.
When Wan Jianfeng's magic weapon fell down, an area of space was locked by Wan Jianfeng. The terrifying binding force and sword intent attacked every part of the space.
The nine Arhats who had been hiding had not yet decided whether to show up and fight Li Yuanba or continue to remain hidden after seeing Arhat Zhiguang being killed.
They were covered by the magic weapon of Wanjian Peak. The defensive power of the invisibility formation was not strong. Under the power of the magic weapon of Wanjian Peak, the invisibility formation collapsed, revealing the figures of the nine Arhats.
Whether it was the two Jindan elders of the righteous path or the three Jindan elders of the Senluo Sect, after seeing the nine Arhats, they all understood that this was a conspiracy against Li Yuanba.
They didn't even realize that they had become pawns of Qianye Temple to deal with Li Yuanba, which made them extremely angry.
Li Yuanba rushed into the group of nine Arhats. The restraining force slowed down his movements, but his powerful body-refining ability made his attacks still extremely sharp.
Although the Jindan chapter of the "Sword Demon Secret Book" only has the skills to strengthen the third-grade sword base, the previous content contains close combat swordsmanship.
This is not an ordinary melee swordsmanship, but another branch of swordsmanship, the melee swordsmanship.
This kind of swordsmanship, which is rarely seen in the world of immortal cultivation, was displayed in the hands of Li Yuanba.
The third-grade sword-based magic weapon can cut, stab and slash. Every attack will take the life of an Arhat.
To be honest, even if these Arhats, whose strength was probably in the middle and late stages of Arhat, were not attacked by Wanjianfeng's magic weapon, they would not be able to stop Li Yuanba's melee attack.
Not to mention that their bodies were restrained by Wanjianfeng's magic weapon and at the same time, they were attacked by the sword intent. They didn't even have a fraction of their usual strength, so how could they resist Li Yuanba's attack?
Ying Hou and Xin Tong, two righteous Jindan elders, watched Li Yuanba fighting and couldn't help but gasp.
These are all the elite Arhats of Qianye Temple. Each of them has strength similar to or even greater than theirs. However, Arhats with such strength were slaughtered by Li Yuanba like killing chickens.
According to the power they were in, they should have taken action to stop Li Yuanba's massacre.
But they didn't dare to take action at this time. If Li Yuanba went crazy and attacked them, they would not be able to bear it.
