Special War God

Chapter 171 The Courage of an Old Man

Liu Dabazi saw that he was in deep thought. Although he was full of questions, he chose to remain silent and stood guard to prevent others from disturbing him.

After a long while, Wen Yulou said, "The situation has changed. I need to return to the royal city quickly to report the unusual situation here to the king. The army will stay here. Gan Kunshan will take over here for me. Lang Zhengfeng and Tan Kuanfu will follow me to the royal city immediately."

After the three left, Gan Kunshan ordered the generals of each army to return to the camp to stabilize the morale of the troops. Liu Dabazi took Xia Zhongnan back to the rented mansion.

After returning home, Xia Zhongnan was still immersed in meditation, while Liu Dabazi paced back and forth in the courtyard. Gu Xiuzhang, Tu Shanfang'er and others knew the seriousness of the situation and quietly stepped aside, not daring to disturb the two.

Suddenly, Liu Dabazi felt a strong sense of fear and pressure, which made him tremble with fear and he stood still, not daring to move.

This was an unprecedented feeling of oppression, like a majestic mountain pressing down on his soul, causing it to tremble.

He didn't realize that Xia Zhongnan, who had been meditating, was quietly watching his reaction. Seeing that he was facing a formidable enemy, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Dabazi felt that the pressure disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never existed. If it were not for the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, he would almost suspect that it was just an illusion.

This pressure comes from Xia Zhongnan.

As a cultivator of the Incarnation Realm, he naturally could not display the power of the Hedao Realm. However, after some thinking and exploration, he successfully used his mental power to simulate the magnificent Kunlun in the other world in his ocean of consciousness, and imposed it on Liu Dabazi's soul.

His spiritual power was already strong and profound under the reinforcement of the power of the other world. In addition, Kunlun Mountain was condensed bit by bit by him in the other world. Therefore, this Kunlun Mountain was extremely real in both form and essence...

The mental pressure just exerted on Liu Dabazi was just a slight display. The real power of this move was to use mental force to condense into the majestic Kunlun Mountains and directly attack the soul core in the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness.

From Liu Dabazi's shock, we can see that this move is extremely powerful, and the attack is invisible and traceless, which will definitely become Xia Zhongnan's invincible killer. Imagine how terrifying it would be if the enemy's soul was suddenly hit and shattered without any awareness?

If Xia Zhongnan suddenly used this skill in battle, even if the enemy resisted, his soul would be in turmoil. How could he withstand the unstoppable spear charge?

He thought to himself, "In China, people often describe huge pressure as 'Mount Tai pressing down on one's head'. So my move should be called 'Kunlun pressing down on one's head'!"

Liu Dabazi had just recovered from his shock. Seeing Xia Zhongnan "return to normal", he immediately put aside his doubts about the attack just now and walked over to ask, "Xiao Fei, have you figured out a countermeasure to the current situation?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Are you referring to the coming of the 'Yutian Ancient Buddha' and the 'Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha' of the Western Religion?"

Liu Dabazi responded: "Of course, the war has started again. Wentian Palace is located in this war-torn area. How should we deal with it?"

Xia Zhongnan said: "Who said that war will definitely start again?"

Liu Dabazi retorted: "Didn't 'Yutian Ancient Buddha' issue an ultimatum, demanding that the five nations withdraw from the Bai Nation's territory, or else they would go to war? How could the five nations so easily hand over the vast territory they had fought so hard to seize? Wouldn't this provoke another war?"

Xia Zhongnan said: "A big war? What evidence does the Western Church have? Just relying on the 'Yutian Ancient Buddha' and the 'Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha' who have penetrated deep into the enemy's rear?"

Liu Dabazi asked: "What do you mean?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Remember what I told you about waiting for the right moment? This is the moment we need."

Liu Dabazi asked, "Can we now raise the banner of competing for the position of governor?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Not yet, we need to be patient. We just need to proceed step by step according to the plan."

Liu Dabazi asked again: "Are you sure that the appearance of 'Yutian Ancient Buddha' and 'Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha' will not trigger a war?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Although the Western Church is a whole, the countries in the Eastern Region are independent. On the surface, the Western Church is indeed strong, but if the countries in the Eastern Region join hands, even if they cannot defeat the Western Church, they can still seriously damage its vitality. Under such circumstances, it is already difficult for the Western Church to maintain its own territory, let alone occupy the vast land of the Eastern Region.

Therefore, the wisest strategy for the Western Church is to gradually infiltrate the Eastern Region, cultivate a large number of believers, and expand itself while encroaching on the territory of the Eastern Region, until the possible alliance formed in the Eastern Region is disintegrated. This is the best strategy..."

Therefore, for the Western Territory Church, this is definitely not the time to start a large-scale war. If there is no large-scale conflict, Maitreya Fortress will become their sharp knife piercing into the heart of the Eastern Ancient Territory. How can they easily let this knife break?

Liu Dabazi said: "If that's the case, why did 'Yutian Ancient Buddha' and 'Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha' issue a final warning in such a high-profile manner in front of our army? Announcing a warning but not taking action, isn't this a loss of dignity? Where is the honor of the two ancient Buddhas?"

Xia Zhongnan sneered, "Why are you considering so much? Who would care about these things?

The Western Territory Church, also known as the Mani-Maitreya Church, only needs to announce the intimidation of the two ancient Buddhas to prevent the millions of troops of the five countries from acting rashly. To ordinary people, this is already a "miracle".

As for why they didn't take action in the end? Wasn't it because they followed the truce agreement that Zhu Fasheng had signed with the monarchs of the five countries?

The mere appearance of the two ancient Buddhas before the armies has shocked the world and won them great prestige. Why not do it?

If they really dare to take action, the monarchs of the five countries will definitely come. If they go deep into the hinterland of Donggu, they will be unable to escape even if they have wings.

These hypocrites are used to this kind of tactics, and I have seen through them!"

Xia Zhongnan's analysis made Liu Dabazi suddenly enlightened. He relaxed and asked, "So, will the monarchs of the five countries take the initiative to eliminate these two ancient Buddhas?"

Xia Zhongnan sneered, "If I had such courage, how could the current situation happen? If I were one of the monarchs of the five countries, I would have wiped out the 'Mahayana Maitreya' Zhu Fasheng and Bai Zhige in one fell swoop and turned Maitreya City into ruins. Would the 'Yutian Ancient Buddha' and the 'Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha' still appear in public?"

Liu Dabazi asked: "Why didn't the monarchs of the five countries dare to take action?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "As the saying goes, 'knowledge of worldly affairs is learning, and understanding of human nature is writing'. They are afraid of the counterattack of the Western Territory Church and dare not face their opponents directly unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, when they think the situation is still under control, they can only swallow their anger.

However, a thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. They gave the Western Territory Church an opportunity to take advantage of. The Church took advantage of this opportunity to take root in the heart of the Eastern Ancient Region, quietly grow, and will eventually be unstoppable. "

Liu Dabazi said in confusion: "What means does the Western Territory Church have to harm the Eastern Ancient Territory, but the monarchs of the five countries are unaware of it?"

Xia Zhongnan thought about the future scenarios and that Liu Dabazi must understand, so he explained the meaning and power of faith.

For Xia Zhongnan, who comes from modern Earth, these are common sense, but how many people in the world of cultivation can understand them?

Perhaps only countries bordering the Western Territory Church would know after experiencing similar lessons, but here in the heart of the ancient East, the people here have never had contact with people from the Western Territory Church, so how could they understand?

Gu Xiuzhang, Tu Shanfang'er and other followers listened carefully to their conversation. Tu Shanfang'er couldn't help but ask, "Brother, since you understand all this, why don't you tell the monarchs of the five countries?"

Xia Ri Zhi Nan smiled and said, "Who am I? I can't even meet the monarchs of the five kingdoms, so how can I reveal these secrets to them? Besides, the advent of Western religion may not be a bad omen. I look forward to witnessing their rise. The chaotic era will bring us opportunities. As long as you understand this, it will be enough."

Tu Shanfang'er, Liu Dabazi and Gu Xiuzhang listened, and even they could only grasp some of the meaning. But when they saw Xia Rizhinan's confident look, they felt relieved and stopped delving into the metaphors in his words.

In the capital of the Wushu Kingdom, Wu Longhai is holding a court meeting in the Golden Palace. Recently, the capital has been arguing over the sudden emergence of nine governor positions. All parties, who have the ability to compete for the governor position, are competing with all their might.

Brothers Xu Dejing and Xu Shouting also came to the capital, not to mention people from other forces? At first, undercurrents surged, and many forces united to counterattack, forming complex alliances and calculating against each other. Now, the dispute has escalated to the court, and they all asked Wu Longhai to make a ruling.

However, Wu Longhai only said, "We'll discuss this after hearing Marshal Yulou's return." He sent everyone back. In his view, power disputes were not important, as long as the states provided cultivation resources on time. If one party failed to provide them as required, he would be furious and replace those who could not serve. He only needed to control the cultivation resources, so that it would be difficult for cultivators in the Hedao realm to rise. Without cultivators in the Hedao realm, how much trouble could cultivators in the Void realm cause?

In this world, cultivators at the Hedao realm represent the pinnacle of power. In front of such beings, everyone else is as tiny as ants.

At this moment, the guards reported that Wen Yulou had returned with Lang Zhengfeng and Tan Kuanfu and was waiting outside the palace to be summoned. The court was silent for a moment, and the ministers were surprised by Wen Yulou's sudden return.

Wu Longhai asked: "Ah, why did Wen Yulou return at this time? Did something happen? Please ask them to come in!"

Wen Yulou, Lang Zhengfeng and Tan Kuanfu walked into the hall and saluted Wu Longhai. Wu Longhai waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Wen Yulou immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the 'Emerald Ancient Buddha' and the 'True Flame Ancient Buddha' of the Western Church have come with eleven venerables and ordered our army to withdraw from the former Baiyun Kingdom territory within one month, otherwise they will fight!"

Wu Longhai was surprised: "The Western Church actually sent out two ancient Buddhas?"

Wen Yulou replied: "It is the 'Emerald Ancient Buddha' and the 'True Flame Ancient Buddha'!"
