Upon seeing the main figure appear, Yang Ming and the others immediately stopped smiling and became serious. In today's world, no one can ignore a sixth-level expert.
Seeing his master step forward, Taixu finally understood why his master had asked him to come out first. It turned out that his master had gone to change his clothes and brought out the Taoist robes and whisks he used for festival sacrifices.
The moment Wuwei appeared, the reporters and spies from various factions in the distance perked up, all pointing their cameras at the scene and watching intently, not daring to miss a single second.
Who knows, today we might witness an epic battle, just like the one that happened in Buddhism!
After all, this is a sixth-tier powerhouse, comparable to a humanoid walking nuclear bomb, a big shot standing at the top of the world.
"This is Master Wuwei, a sixth-level expert from the Daoist sect? He seems even stronger than Master Kongjian!"
"Of course! Master Kongjian was just defeated a few days ago, but didn't you see that Daoist Wuwei remained calm even when facing an even stronger force than before?"
"There will probably be a bloody battle today. Master Wuwei doesn't seem like the kind of person who would give up his faith just to survive."
In the field.
"Master Wuwei, the three-day period has come to an end. I wonder what you have thought of my proposal?" Fang Xiu asked calmly.
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled, his gaze calm and unwavering, completely ignoring the Taotie and Buddhist figures present, and said indifferently, "What if I join? What if I don't?"
"Amitabha." Kongjian chanted a Buddhist prayer, then advised, "Master Wuwei, Taoism emphasizes the unity of heaven and man and following the natural order. The headquarters is now the heaven of Xia Kingdom. I advise you not to go against the will of heaven."
Since joining the headquarters, Master Kongjian has become increasingly adept at flattery, and he does it so naturally and harmoniously that he feels honored, because with each compliment he makes, he feels that his merit has increased.
“Master Kongjian is joking. You and I are just ordinary people. How can we presume to speak of the will of Heaven? Fellow Daoist Fang, please answer my question.”
Fang Xiu stared at the old Taoist Wuwei with his deep, dark eyes. Wuwei remained calm and seemed unafraid to meet his gaze.
"Join us and you will live; don't join and you will die. The choice is yours, Master."
These words were tantamount to revealing one's true intentions, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense. The tense atmosphere was so palpable that even those hiding in the distance could clearly feel it.
Taixu, hiding behind Wuwei, swallowed nervously and quietly tugged at the sleeve of the old Taoist Wuwei, whispering, "Master, why don't we surrender? I heard that the benefits at headquarters are good, and there's even free WIFI."
The old Taoist priest seemed not to hear, and instead chuckled lightly: "What is there to fear in death?"
Upon hearing this, Taixu's face turned deathly pale. It's all over!
Despite being gripped by fear, he still stood up straight, trembling, and stood silently beside the old Taoist priest.
It's starting! It's starting!
The battle of the sixth tier has begun!
The onlookers in the distance were both excited and terrified, and everyone retreated in unison, afraid of being injured by the aftershocks of the fight.
Seeing Wuwei Laodao's attitude, Fang Xiu didn't waste any more words and simply waved his hand, saying, "Make your move."
Rumble!
The Taotie army pressed down on the Taoist sect like a hundred mountain peaks. Kong Jian's body shone with Buddhist light, and a thousand-foot-tall Buddha faintly appeared behind him. The eighteen Arhats formed their own formations, like a net covering the sky and the earth.
Faced with this oppressive scene, the old Taoist remained calm. He simply raised his right hand, his movements graceful and imbued with Taoist charm, as if he were preparing some powerful move.
Suddenly, he raised his right hand in front of him and said calmly, "Wait a moment."
However, no one listened to him at all, and the Taotie army was already within reach.
A hint of panic immediately flashed in the old Daoist's eyes, and his tone quickened: "Fellow Daoist Fang, it's not impossible for my Daoist sect to join the headquarters, as long as we pass three tests..."
At this moment, the Taotie army had already stepped onto the mountain gate, which was instantly breached and collapsed.
The old Taoist priest quickly changed his tune, speaking rapidly: "One test! Just one test will do. My Taoist sect has a bottom line and will never aid and abet evil. So, as long as you, Fellow Taoist Fang, pass one test and prove that you are truly dedicated to saving all living beings, rather than driven by lust for power, I will voluntarily lead the Taoist sect to join the headquarters."
The Taotie army stopped.
call!
The old Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief: "Fellow Daoist Fang, please come with me to the Taoist temple for a chat. Only you can come alone."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming immediately objected: "Brother Xiu alone? Who knows if you have ulterior motives and are setting a trap inside?"
The old Taoist priest explained, "I swear on the Taoist tradition that there are no traps or dangers involved."
Yang Ming was about to say something more, but Fang Xiu had already strode into the Taoist gate.
"Wait for me outside."
After leaving those words, Fang Xiu went inside with the old Taoist priest Wuwei.
Led by the old Taoist priest Wuwei, the two entered the Sanqing Hall.
"Speak, what kind of test?" Fang Xiu went straight to the point, wasting no time.
The old Taoist priest chuckled, his smile somewhat obsequious, a stark contrast to his previous dignified and otherworldly demeanor, akin to a Sichuan opera face-changing act.
"Well... Captain Fang, there were a lot of people outside just now. Actually, I really long for headquarters."
Fang Xiu: "......."
"Well, Captain Fang, regarding the treatment for joining headquarters, I still hope it can be a little better than that of Buddhism. First of all, you see, Buddhism was completely forced to join, but my Daoist sect surrendered voluntarily. Moreover, in terms of individual strength, although the Daoist sect doesn't have as many people as Buddhism, my strength is still a little stronger than that bald monk Kongjian."
So, asking for better treatment than in Buddhist temples isn't unreasonable, is it?
Fang Xiu: "......"
"Captain Fang, why aren't you saying anything? Are you not satisfied with my conditions? It's alright, we can talk about it again. In short, my Daoist sect is determined to join the headquarters. In this era, only by following the will of Heaven and the headquarters can we completely defeat the supernatural and save the world. Although my Daoist sect dares not say that it is very strong, it is willing to contribute to the cause of the headquarters."
Fang Xiu remained silent for a long time before finally saying slowly, "You can also deduce the secrets of heaven?"
