Chapter 613: Tensions rise and unexpected turns
The glass Buddha had a smile on his face and a gentle tone, and even used the word "please".
But in Yun Wuji's eyes, his smiling eyes were more piercing and dangerous than the arrows shot from the Sun-Shooting Bow.
Yun Wuji looked at the Glazed Buddha when he suddenly heard the ethereal and mighty sound of chanting. He suddenly felt like a sinner, being condemned by thousands of people and unable to redeem himself even by death. He had no face to live in this world.
He stood up suddenly, wanting only to throw himself before the Glazed Buddha, kneel down and cry out in repentance, offering his life for his sins.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A few bell sounds exploded in his ears, and he shuddered violently before regaining consciousness. When he looked at the glass Buddha again, his heart was filled with fear and anger.
"Is the Buddha lying to me that there is no one in the Nine Mountains?"
Zheng Fa stared at the glass Buddha and asked with a frown.
The smile on the Glazed Buddha's face did not fade, and he said leisurely: "This person knows that his sins are serious. Why should the leader stop him?"
"If this is the Buddha's intention," Zheng Fa said directly, "then you may return. The Jiushan Sect will not agree."
Yun Wuji felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that Zheng Fa would not agree. After all, Jiushan Sect and Leiyin Temple had always been at odds. Killing Bai Lian by himself would be considered a contribution to Jiushan Sect.
If Zheng Fa handed himself over under the threat of Leiyin Temple, the morale of the Jiushan Sect would probably be dispersed.
But after hearing these words with his own ears and seeing that there was no sign of retreat on Zheng Fa's face, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly fell back into his chest.
After hearing this, the Glazed Buddha seemed to have expected this and just smiled and said, "Master Zheng, do you not want to go to the Daluo Dharma Assembly?"
"Buddha, you mean that if I don't agree to hand over Yun Wuji, I won't be able to attend the Dharma Assembly?"
The Glazed Buddha took out a golden note, held it in his hand, and nodded slightly: "This golden note is the certificate for entering the Daluo Dharma Assembly. Master Zheng, hand over this thief to me, and I will hand this golden note to Master Zheng."
"Then it's better not to go."
The Glass Buddha shook his head, as if he thought what Zheng Fa said was really stupid.
"Master Zheng, do you know why the Mahayana Buddha convened this Daluo Dharma Assembly?"
Zheng Fa's expression changed, and he looked like he was listening attentively.
"The Hongmeng Purple Qi is in the hands of Sect Leader Zheng." Liuli Buddha said slowly, "According to Mahayana Buddha, it is not just Sect Leader Zheng who can use this Hongmeng Purple Qi."
"Ritual?"
Seeing the Glazed Buddha nod, Zheng Fa couldn't help but sigh in his heart. To be honest, he had vaguely felt this way before, but now that he had heard it confirmed by the Glazed Buddha with his own ears, he dared to truly confirm it.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi originally concerns the entire human race.
The use of Hongmeng Purple Qi also requires the recognition of the entire human race - that is, a ceremony in which the entire human race, including Daoguo and mortals, participates.
No wonder Lu Yao is not in a hurry at all.
"The Great Luo Dharma Assembly, where the Mahayana Buddha summoned all Dao Fruits from around the world, is all about this matter." The Glazed Buddha glanced at Yun Wuji. "If Sect Leader Zheng misses the Great Luo Dharma Assembly because of this matter, wouldn't that be a huge opportunity?"
Uncle Huang couldn't help but say, "The Hongmeng Purple Qi is in Zheng Fa's hands. Why are you holding a Daluo Dharma Assembly? Isn't it a joke?"
The people from the Jiushan Sect all had angry expressions on their faces.
To put it bluntly, isn't this Lu Yao equivalent to using Zheng Fa's Hongmeng purple energy to hold his own Daluo Dharma Assembly?
The Glazed Buddha's expression remained calm. "Master, do you know who will be attending this Daluo Dharma Assembly?"
"Among the Nine Supreme Sons, Xuan Chengzi has replied, saying he will attend the meeting as scheduled."
"The three hidden immortals have also replied to the letter. They will pass through the underworld and enter my Leiyin to participate in the Daluo Dharma Assembly."
"Two of the four fairies from Yaochi will also be here."
Zheng Fa frowned secretly when he heard this.
Judging from Xuan Chengzi's cultivation level, the names mentioned by the Glazed Buddha are probably all those of Golden Immortals.
There are nine golden immortals in Taishang Dao and four in Yaochi.
The three secluded immortals are probably golden immortals who do not belong to a big sect, just like the Dragon Ancestor in the past.
As for the number of Golden Immortals in Leiyin Temple, the Glazed Buddha did not mention it, as if he was unwilling to reveal the strength of his sect. However, he had heard the name of the Five Buddhas from the Lord of Shuyu Dragon, and thought that there were at least five Golden Immortals.
This adds up to almost twenty Golden Immortals.
Even if there are other Golden Immortals, I think there are not many.
Looking at the determined expression of the Glazed Buddha, Zheng Fa felt a bit of a headache - to be honest, he was not afraid of Lu Yao's tough approach. The Jiushan Sect was certainly not as powerful as the Leiyin Temple now, but they could rely on the Underworld and the Zhuxian Sword Formation to protect themselves.
But Lu Yao’s Daluo Dharma Assembly… If he really lets him gather most of the Golden Immortals in Xuanwei, then the Jiushan Sect will either be at the table or on the table.
Although the Hongmeng Purple Qi is in his hands, if these Golden Immortals join together, with Daozun and Leiyin Buddha behind them, not to mention the Jiushan Sect, even the underworld will have to kneel.
"So the Mahayana Buddha is ready to complete the ritual from top to bottom?"
After hearing Zheng Fa's question, the Glazed Buddha nodded proudly: "As long as the Golden Immortals agree, and with the help of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, then we can naturally establish laws for the Immortal Path easily."
That's true.
In the world of immortals, great power always belongs to oneself, and the powerful have absolute say.
With so many Golden Immortals reaching a consensus, the other Dao Fruits would have no power to resist, let alone mortals.
But Zheng Fa still had one thing in his mind: where did Lu Yao get the confidence to convince so many Golden Immortals?
Especially since Taishang Dao and Leiyin Temple have had many conflicts in the past, it is not easy to convince them.
Thinking of Lu Yao's past actions, Zheng Fa always felt that he was not the kind of person who would jump out and attract fire without being sure of his ability.
"So, Master Zheng still doesn't want to go?"
The Glazed Buddha asked again, his tone full of confidence.
Yun Wuji's face turned even paler. He had certainly heard the hidden meaning of the Glazed Buddha - it would be unwise to give up going to the Daluo Dharma Assembly for the sake of a traitor.
He had been in charge of Haori Mountain for many years, so he certainly knew how to be a sect leader...
To be fair, if it were him, he would choose to hand himself over.
He believed Zheng Fa also understood that he had surrendered because he was desperate and afraid of death. To the Jiushan Sect, he actually had no loyalty at all.
If you miss the Daluo Dharma Assembly, you will be excluded by the Golden Immortals.
To make the simplest analogy, the mainstream of the Xuanwei Realm in the past was the struggle between immortals and demons. Maybe in the future, the demon sect will be the Jiushan Sect, and the immortal sect will be all the Golden Immortal inheritances that participated in the Daluo Dharma Assembly... This is bullshit.
Zheng Fa fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked again, "Only if you take Yun Wuji away can I go to the Daluo Dharma Assembly?"
"Exactly."
Seeing that he seemed to be shaken, the smile on the Glazed Buddha's face deepened.
"In this case, I wish the Leiyin Temple Dharma Assembly a smooth success!"
“…”
The Glass Buddha stared at him in amazement.
Even the people from the Jiushan Sect behind them were somewhat moved.
Not to mention Yun Wuji, he stared at Zheng Fa's back, as if he couldn't believe his ears - Master Zheng actually refused?
…
In fact, Zheng Fa didn't hesitate at all.
What the Glass Buddha said certainly makes sense, but Zheng Fa also knows a very simple truth - the more the enemy wants you to do something, the less you can do it.
If Lu Yao were to achieve great success through the Daluo Dharma Assembly and unify the Golden Immortals, it would naturally be a disaster for the Jiushan Sect. However, this has not happened after all.
It is doubtful whether Lu Yao can do it and to what extent he can do it.
But if Yun Wuji was really handed over, not to mention that the newly established Anti-Japanese Army would have to be rebuilt, more importantly, what would the people inside the sect think?
Everyone was fighting with Leiyin Temple, and Zheng Fa turned around and handed Yun Wuji over. Isn't that a joke?
Not to mention the outside world's view of the Jiushan Sect - who would dare to join the Jiushan Sect in the future? Who would dare to believe that the Jiushan Sect could sit at the same table with the Leiyin Temple?
If Zheng Fa did not go to the Daluo Dharma Assembly, what he might lose was the hearts of all the Golden Immortals.
If he handed over Yun Wuji, he would lose the trust of everyone inside and outside the Jiushan Sect.
It didn't even matter who Yun Wuji was. It didn't matter why he joined the Jiushan Sect.
He is now a member of the Jiushan Sect and is very important.
The smile on the face of the Glazed Buddha gradually faded. He looked at Zheng Fa with a stern gaze, "Master Zheng, have you thought it through?"
Zheng Fa smiled and didn't answer.
The Glazed Buddha closed his eyes, but a Bodhisattva beside him spoke up: "Master Zheng is confused. Which is more important, a traitor or the entire Nine Mountains Sect?"
After entering the door and greeting each other, Zheng Fa knew who this Bodhisattva was. The other party was called Guangzhi Bodhisattva, with the cultivation level of a true immortal, and seemed to be the confidant of the Glass Buddha.
Bodhisattva Guangzhi looked at the people in the hall with a cold face and said threateningly: "Bodhisattva Bailian is the direct disciple of my Leiyin Temple, the future Buddha, and his status is noble and no less noble than others. If he dies, everyone in my Leiyin Temple must give an explanation."
He looked at Yun Wuji and said, "Master Zheng, you can refuse today, but my Leiyin Temple will not give up. This is not a matter of a Daluo Dharma Assembly."
There was silence in the Heavenly Palace.
The threat in Bodhisattva Guangzhi's tone became increasingly apparent. "Alliance Leader Zheng, think carefully. Hand over this thief. The Jiushan Sect will participate in the Daluo Dharma Assembly. The Mahayana Buddha will show mercy and show mercy. The Jiushan Sect will be safe and secure in the future."
"If we don't hand this man over, how will the Jiushan Sect survive after the Daluo Dharma Assembly?" Guangzhi noticed the anger on everyone's faces. Instead of restraining himself, he spoke even more clearly. "Even the Buddhas of my Leiyin Temple will definitely demand justice."
"When the war breaks out again, countless lives will be lost. The Jiushan Sect that you, Sect Master Zheng, have painstakingly built will face catastrophic destruction."
"Master Zheng, is a traitor worth this?"
Yun Wuji's body trembled.
But then he heard Bodhisattva Guangzhi say something even more heartbreaking: "Even if you, Sect Leader Zheng, don't agree, what about the others in the Nine Mountains Sect? Will they also not agree?"
Yun Wuji felt even more sad.
Deep down, he had expected Zheng Fa not to hand him over, after all, there was a relationship between Jiushan Sect and Leiyin Temple.
However, Bodhisattva Guangzhi's words made his situation in Jiushan Sect even more delicate - it could be said that it put him and the other disciples of Jiushan Sect on the opposite side.
Even if he could still survive in the Jiushan Sect in the future, his life would probably not be easy...
In particular, if the Jiushan Sect really faces danger in the future, how will the other disciples of the Jiushan Sect look at him?
He could even sense that something was wrong in the eyes of some of the Nine Mountains monks in the hall.
Just when he was confused, he suddenly heard a cold and resolute response:
"If you, Leiyin Temple, dare to offend my Nine Mountains," Senior Sister Zhang stared at Bodhisattva Guangzhi, her tone extremely serious. "No one in my Nine Mountains will ever blame any of my fellow disciples. We will only seek out the culprit and repay him with an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
The monks in the hall who were confused by what Bodhisattva Guangzhi said suddenly changed their expressions and were filled with shame.
"Nine Mountain Sect has never asked for your Leiyin Temple's friendship before, and it is not because of Lu Yao's leniency that it has settled down."
"Not in the future either."
Bodhisattva Guangzhi was speechless. The Glazed Buddha slowly opened his eyes again and looked at Zheng Fa with a face that showed neither joy nor sadness. "Is this your answer, Sect Leader Zheng?"
Zheng Fa smiled and said, "What Senior Sister said is what I said."
He paused and said seriously, "Peace and friendship are what our Jiushan Sect has always cherished. The order of heaven and earth is not a bad thing for the Jiushan Sect."
"Therefore, my Jiushan Sect will not provoke a war. However, if anyone does not cherish this goodwill, then when to stop is not up to him to decide."
The expression of the Glazed Buddha changed slightly. Thinking of Haori Mountain, he felt a chill in his heart.
When Hao Ri Mountain and Jiu Shan Zong clashed, the gap in strength between the two was even greater than the gap between Lei Yin Temple and Jiu Shan Zong now.
But now...
The Glazed Buddha glanced at Yun Wuji and felt that Zheng Fa's threat seemed to have a living footnote.
Zheng Fa's words were not a fit of anger. They were a basic struggle strategy he had figured out in modern times and was most suitable for the Jiushan Sect - not to fire the first shot, but to strive to fire the last shot.
Show goodwill while maintaining the principle of tit-for-tat, and even make it clear enough so that everyone inside and outside the Jiushan Sect understands the meaning.
The Glazed Buddha seemed to understand. He didn't say much, but stood up, put the golden note into his sleeve, and said to Zheng Fa, "In this case, we will take our leave."
The atmosphere in the Heavenly Palace darkened, and everyone understood that the talks had truly fallen through.
Zheng Fa stood up and made an act of seeing the guest off.
Since he did so, the other people in Jiushan Sect naturally had no objection.
The Glazed Buddha couldn't help but say, "I just hope that Sect Leader Zheng won't regret it in the future."
Zheng Fa smiled, looking unwilling to engage in any verbal argument with him, which made the Glazed Buddha feel suffocated.
He couldn't help but snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Before he turned around, Zheng Fa suddenly stretched out his hand and moved forward.
Glazed Buddha's face lit up with joy, "Master Zheng, have you changed your mind?"
Zheng Fa shook his head and waved his hand, and a golden envelope flew in from outside the boundary.
"A letter from the Mahayana Buddha?"
The Glazed Buddha signaled to Bodhisattva Guangzhi to take the envelope. Bodhisattva Guangzhi opened the envelope and a letter flew out of it. Lu Yao's voice came from the letter.
"I already know everything about Bai Lian. His plan was a bit off, so there's no need to pursue it."
The expression of the Glass Buddha changed slightly.
"The Daluo Dharma Assembly is related to the immortal path, and the Hongmeng Purple Qi originally belongs to Master Zheng." Lu Yao's voice was very gentle. "Without Master Zheng, the Daluo Dharma Assembly is inevitably incomplete. I am sending you an invitation and hope that Master Zheng will come to Leiyin."
After saying that, a golden scroll flew out from behind the confidence paper and flew into Zheng Fa's hands.
The Glazed Buddha looked at the golden card in Zheng Fa's hand, then looked down at his own long sleeves, and remained silent for a long time.
