Chapter 980: Untitled

"Who do you plan to hand this bald donkey over to?"

Zhang Liang pointed at Monk Zhi Zhen, who had already been sealed by Ge Nie's sword qi, and asked.

"Since we are handing this bald donkey over to the Daoist Sect, it naturally has to be one of the larger, more powerful sects; otherwise, it would be of no use."

"In the Nanzhan Buzhou, the Shushan Sword Sect is said to be related to the Human Teachings, but the Human Teachings follow 'wu wei' (non-action), so they probably won't stand out to stop the Buddhist Sect. As for the strength of the Shushan Sword Sect, it's not enough."

Su Fan stroked his chin and said, "Although the Buddhist Sect won't send many strong people at first, I'm afraid there will be quite a few Golden Immortals, and there might even be hidden Great Luo Golden Immortals."

Su Fan did not believe that the Buddhist Sect had sent people over without any preparation; perhaps on the surface, they only sent a few Arhats to lead the charge.

But from his understanding of the Buddhist Sect, they would absolutely not be so reckless; since they had come, they must have made full preparations.

So he really didn't think that the Shushan Sword Sect alone would be a match for the Buddhist Sect.

Although the Shushan Sword Sect had no small reputation in the Nanzhan Buzhou, it was not the top-tier one.

He wanted to use the Daoist Sect to intercept the Buddhist Sect; the Human Teachings were not a good choice. The disciples of the Human Teachings were few, and each one followed the Taiqing Saint's style of non-action, so they were not a good choice.

The Chan Sect and the Jie Sect were the best.

The Chan Sect was arrogant and looked down on the disciples of other major sects, especially the Jie Sect and the Buddhist Sect; a group of proud people watching other major sects become stronger and stronger naturally aroused more and more dissatisfaction in them.

And the conflict between the Buddhist Sect and the Chan Sect was very large.

Although during the Investiture of the Gods, both sides were together against the enemy, the Chan Sect's hostility toward the Buddhist Sect was, on the contrary, increasing.

Especially toward those few traitors of the Chan Sect.

Su Fan knew that once the Chan Sect knew about the Buddhist Sect's ugly deeds, they would inevitably use this to strike at the Buddhist Sect extensively.

In the Nanzhan Buzhou, the power of the Chan Sect was actually the greatest.

After the Investiture of the Gods, the Human Teachings and the Chan Sect, as the victors, naturally harvested the power of the Jie Sect, and the disciples of the Human Teachings were rare, and they themselves didn't seem to care much about these things.

So the Nanzhan Buzhou gradually became the main sphere of influence for the Chan Sect.

The outer sect disciples of the Chan Sect began to preach in the Nanzhan Buzhou, harvesting luck, and gradually established quite a few sects.

Then these disciples left the sects and slowly established their own sects.

Over time, it developed into the current Nanzhan Buzhou.

It could be said that in the Nanzhan Buzhou, thirty percent of the sects had some relationship with the Chan Sect, and many sects had intricate connections with the Chan Sect.

After the Investiture of the Gods, because of the betrayal of the sect, the strength of the Chan Sect had declined a lot; now that they could recover, and even be stronger than before, it was also because they had obtained a large amount of luck here in the Nanzhan Buzhou.

This made the cultivation of the disciples under their sect speed up a lot.

So for the Nanzhan Buzhou, the Chan Sect must attach great importance to it. The Saint was gone, but the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect still had eight, plus several other true disciples of the Yuqing Saint; the power of the Chan Sect was not weak.

At least two Quasi-Sages, or even three.

Originally, the Twelve Golden Immortals had all reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and even that Guang Chengzi, by virtue of merit, had reached the Quasi-Sage realm.

They naturally attached more and more importance to the Nanzhan Buzhou; this place could continuously bring them endless luck, and this luck supported them in improving their cultivation.

Now someone was eyeing the Nanzhan Buzhou; this was equivalent to competing with them for luck. Could the Chan Sect let go?

Of course that was impossible.

Previously in the Yanhuo Domain, there was a sect fighting with the Buddhist Sect—that Yanhuo Sect, although it was only a Golden Immortal-level sect.

But the ancestor of the Yanhuo Sect also came from the Changsheng Temple; the Changsheng Temple was the top-tier major sect in the Nanzhan Buzhou, and just the Taiyi Golden Immortals that had appeared in the sect were six, and there were two Great Luo Golden Immortals.

That Changsheng Temple was established by Guang Chengzi when he descended to the lower realm.

Guang Chengzi, as the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals, although his combat power might not be the strongest, had always been one of the best, and had always been deeply loved by the Yuqing Saint.

After the Investiture of the Gods, the Saint left the Earth Immortal World, the Antarctic Immortal Weng went to the Heavenly Court to become the Antarctic Longevity Great Emperor, Yun Zhongxian did not care about worldly affairs, and the Yuxu Palace had always been controlled by him.

He became the deputy sect leader in name and in reality.

The Changsheng Temple established in the lower realm became the top-tier sect in the Nanzhan Buzhou, and the Changsheng Temple's supreme technique, the Changsheng Formula, was also a top-tier Daoist technique.

Guang Chengzi's own ability was not bad; perhaps in terms of personality, he might be a bit arrogant, but he had the confidence to be arrogant. After all, as a direct disciple of the Saint, how many people in the entire Primordial Earth Immortal World could compare to his status?

Even some of his fellow disciples in the sect were looked down upon by him, which was also the reason why he was unpopular in the Yuxu Palace.

But regardless, his strength was indeed powerful, especially after the Investiture of the Gods, when the evil qi and karma were eliminated, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

He was the first among the Twelve Golden Immortals to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; after establishing the Changsheng Temple and harvesting luck, his strength improved to another level.

Outsiders guessed that he had reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but in reality, he had already broken through to the Quasi-Sage realm and become a Great Supernatural Being at the early stage of the Quasi-Sage realm.

The only people in the entire Yuxu Palace who knew this news were Yun Zhongxian and the Antarctic Immortal.

Of course, outsiders didn't know, and Su Fan naturally didn't know either.

But Su Fan had heard of that Changsheng Temple.

His idea was to hand this monk over to that Changsheng Temple or Lishan.

The Changsheng Temple was established by Guang Chengzi; regardless of how strong Guang Chengzi was, at least now the Changsheng Temple, on the surface, had two Great Luo Golden Immortals and six Taiyi Golden Immortals, which was enough.

If the Changsheng Temple knew about the Buddhist Sect's ugly deeds, they would inevitably make a move.

The two sides would not have a major war; Su Fan was very clear about this point.

After all, even if the Chan Sect was arrogant, they wouldn't fail to see the strength of the Buddhist Sect; without the Saint sitting in command, the strength of the Buddhist Sect was indeed stronger than their Chan Sect.

Even if Guang Chengzi looked down on the Buddhist Sect, would he lose his head and fight the Buddhist Sect? Probably the remaining second-generation disciples would absolutely not agree.

However, here in the Nanzhan Buzhou, small-scale conflicts between the two sides were unavoidable.

As long as the Buddhist Sect still wanted to cross east and preach here, then the conflict between the two sides was obvious.

The Chan Sect did not want another one to come and share their food.

The Buddhist Sect was powerful; if they were allowed to gain a firm foothold in the Nanzhan Buzhou, wouldn't the Buddhist Sect's strength be even stronger in the future?

So Su Fan chose the Changsheng Temple, not asking for the Changsheng Temple to fight a major war with the Buddhist Sect; that was unrealistic.

But by using the influence of the Changsheng Temple in the Nanzhan Buzhou to give the Buddhist Sect a profound lesson, Su Fan felt that there would certainly be no problem. ===== CHAPTER 981 =====
