Chapter 123: The World is Bustling for Profit
The Yin Kui Sect left very decisively, which surprised many people. Shi Zhixuan left because he was injured and alone; after all, even if An Long was at home, he couldn't compare to the Yuwen Clan. But the Yin Kui Sect was different.
Everyone didn't expect the Yin Kui Sect to finally be cowardly.
"Is the Yin Empress really willing to give up the Imperial Jade Seal like this?"
"The Yin Kui Sect is really cowardly!"
These people who didn't think it was a big deal were naturally dissatisfied. Of course, they were dissatisfied in their hearts, but no one dared to say it out loud, and even whispering could only be done in their hearts.
They weren't fools. The stone statue square was full of experts, and even hundreds of zhang away, they could hear the wind.
It was just that this group of people had no foresight.
People with real intentions definitely saw it: the Yin Kui Sect wasn't cowardly, but seemed to have an agreement with the Yuwen Clan.
"Hiss!"
If the Yin Kui Sect and the Yuwen Clan really joined forces, wouldn't the world be theirs?
Many martial arts veterans knew very well how strong the Yin Kui Sect's power was.
Wang Shichong, who had been hiding in the crowd, had his expression change, especially after seeing the smiles between the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan and Su Fan. He knew how terrifying it would be if these two forces really joined hands.
Before, although he valued the Yuwen Clan, he wouldn't be afraid. Sitting on the land of Luoyang, with no shortage of troops and grain, although his influence in the army wasn't as great as the Yuwen Clan's before, because he controlled the current emperor of the Great Sui, a group of original Sui generals also poured into his command.
After all, he was now a self-proclaimed Great General, the imperial court was still there, and those Sui generals were under his command.
So in these two years, his strength had increased very quickly.
Relying on righteousness in hand, he had attacked several cities in Guanzhong. As long as he took the entire Guanzhong, he would have a solid foundation to seize the world.
Originally, he wasn't in a hurry, but ever since the Imperial Jade Seal appeared, he felt something was wrong.
The righteous path of the martial arts world and the power of the Buddhist sect didn't choose him. He, who had been complacent, was suddenly hit hard.
But fortunately, he soon cheered up. He felt that even without the Buddhist sect, as long as he had absolute military power, he wouldn't be afraid of not having the Buddhist sect's support.
But now, when the Grandmaster combat power erupted, he understood how terrifying top-tier experts were.
He himself was also an expert in the martial arts world.
But from the strength Yuwen Chengji displayed, he couldn't even block one move from the other party.
If the other party chose to assassinate, what would he use to block the other party's assassination? Would Chao Gongcuo block the other party's assassination for him?
Wang Shichong understood that it was absolutely impossible.
Both sides were just in a cooperative relationship. If he asked the former to block and fight against a Grandmaster expert, no one would be willing.
If the Yuwen Clan and the Yin Kui Sect cooperated, they would have even more top-tier experts, and the Yin Kui Sect's influence in the martial arts world spread throughout the world, which was a huge boost for the Yuwen Clan to contend for the world.
"No, we must not let both sides form an alliance."
It wasn't just Wang Shichong who had this idea; other warlords also had this worry.
Originally, the Yuwen Clan had shown terrifying military power in these two years.
With the addition of top-tier experts, how could this not make other warlords vibrate in their hearts?
Originally, they had hoped that because of the Imperial Jade Seal, the Yin Kui Sect and the Yuwen Clan would fight each other, preferably both suffering losses.
But they didn't expect both sides to be so patient, especially the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan's concession, which was something no one expected.
Such a strong Yin Empress would choose to concede.
If it were before, they wouldn't believe it at all.
But thinking of the terrifying strength Su Fan had just displayed, many people could suddenly understand the reason for the Yin Empress's concession.
No one would think that the Evil King was injured because he had fought the Four Holy Monks for a long time and consumed too much, so he was taken advantage of by Su Fan.
A Grandmaster, even if consumed too much, was still a Grandmaster.
Moreover, Su Fan didn't say he had fought the Four Great Vajras of Jingnian Zen Temple, and he had fought Ning Daoqi—wasn't he consumed?
So injuring the Evil King was entirely relying on his strength.
At this moment, no one would ignore Su Fan's Grandmaster combat power.
"Haha! Little friend Yuwen, congratulations!"
The Yin Empress conceded, and Qihui and the others also immediately congratulated Su Fan, while looking at Su Fan with different eyes.
Although he had seen Su Fan and Ning Daoqi fight to a draw before, he didn't expect the former to give him more surprises, actually being able to injure the Evil King Shi Zhixuan.
Although both were Grandmasters, probably all martial arts experts felt that Shi Zhixuan's strength was likely even better.
One was because Ning Daoqi came from the Daoist sect, and the general impression of Daoist sect people was health preservation, and their combat power might be slightly inferior.
Secondly, the Evil King had always shown fierce combat power, while Ning Daoqi had almost no combat deeds.
So when Shi Zhixuan broke through, the martial arts world arranged him above Ning Daoqi.
Even Qihui, who was also of the Daoist sect, had this idea. He naturally knew that Daoist sect experts, whose combat power was weak, were all fake appearances.
But Shi Zhixuan's talent had to make him praise him.
Su Fan being able to injure Shi Zhixuan was indeed beyond his expectations. In this way, his thoughts became even firmer.
"Many thanks to the Daoist for your help, otherwise it would have been very difficult for me to obtain this treasure."
Su Fan also showed a smile of gratitude toward Qihui. No matter what the other party's thoughts were, he had indeed helped him.
"If the Daoist has any needs in the future, just mention it. I don't have much else, but as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best. If the Daoist wants to open a few Daoist temples in the south in the future, I will also do my best to help."
"Wu County, Yuhang, and other prefectures are always open to you and the Daoists of Louguan Dao."
Since he chose to use the Dao to restrain the Buddha, Su Fan would naturally not let these Daoist sect people go.
"The world is bustling for profit; the world is bustling for profit." Everything couldn't escape the word 'profit'.
There was no love without reason.
The Daoist sect helped him, and Su Fan didn't think it was because of 'love'.
So Su Fan wanted to win over the Daoist sect, and he would also pay visible benefits, which was opening the door to preaching.
Of course, Su Fan also knew that the Daoist sect was different from the Buddhist sect. The Daoist sect took the high-level route and was more close to the aristocratic class.
Unlike the Buddhist sect, they took the grassroots route, relying on the faith of the grassroots people to develop. Of course, they wouldn't let go of the high-level either.
Their eating was uglier.
This was also the reason why Su Fan didn't like the Buddhist sect.
History had traces. The Daoist sect came out of the mountains to save the world in troubled times, while the Buddhist sect chose to close the mountains. You say, which one would you like?
Sure enough, after hearing Su Fan's words, Qihui and the group of Daoists behind him all showed satisfied expressions.
"Haha! Then I will disturb little friend Yuwen when the time comes." ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
"Haha! Then I will have to trouble Young Friend Yuwen when the time comes."
