Chapter 393

Whether they can take down Li Taibai and the other today is one thing, but even if they do, if the Qinglong Society comes to Dayuan in force to settle the score, the trouble will be enormous.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Living Buddha Lianhua sighed.

He held back the three-man team of the brainless Long Xiang Seng, who were itching to charge forward.

"Amitabha. Since the Qinglong Society and the Five Dragon Heads want this War God Palace, then Dayuan will withdraw from this."

Saying so, he was also the first to lead the three monks and retreat to one side.

"Cowards…"

Di Shitian only felt extremely annoyed. It wasn't easy to finally get a punching bag, and just like that, they were gone.

Li Taibai was indifferent either way; his mission was simply to take the War God Palace.

Whether these three great dynasties withdrew or not had no great impact on him.

At this moment, a burst of dazzling, intense light flared up, vanishing in an instant.

Immediately after, the originally sealed doors of the War God Palace slowly opened a crack.

"The War God Palace has opened…"

All the martial artists—even those from the three great dynasties who had just withdrawn—were now staring over eagerly.

"Damnable. Such a heaven-defying opportunity, yet we don't even have the fortune to step inside and take a single look…"

"Enough! What do we even count for? Heh heh, look at the three great dynasties…"

"Exactly! The three great dynasties all slunk away with their tails between their legs, not daring to cross the Qinglong Society. We'd better give up that thought!"

"Hmph! As expected, the people of the Nine Provinces are all useless trash!"

Just as the War God Palace swung wide open and everyone buzzed with discussion, drawn by its sight.

Another squad of riders came charging in at high speed from beyond the plains.

These people wore black cloaks, Luo Sha masks over their faces, carried a wakizashi on their backs, and moved like ghosts as they bore a palanquin.

The one speaking was precisely the person atop the palanquin.

Only his tone was utterly arrogant—he had opened fire on everyone indiscriminately.

"Who are these people, daring to be so rude?"

A martial artist, enraged beyond endurance, let out a furious roar and threw himself into the path of the advancing palanquin.

"Die…"

Two Luo Sha ghosts' forms merged, flashing past the man like a bolt of lightning.

The next instant, the man was directly chopped into several pieces.

The palanquin continued racing toward the War God Palace at full speed.

"What terrifyingly fast bladework. Who are these people?"

The Luo Sha ghosts' display of bladework left every Wu Lin person present utterly shocked.

After all, before one reached the realm of Land Immortal and could command the power of heaven and earth, facing such bizarrely swift and uncanny bladework would make anyone's hair stand on end.

What's more, there wasn't just one Luo Sha ghost—it was an entire squad, at least over a hundred of them.

Where did over a hundred Innate masters come from, and they were just lackeys carrying the palanquin?

Then what identity could the person atop the palanquin possibly hold?

"No, these look like Dongying people. Yes, Dongying people from Yunzhou!"

"Exactly. These are people from the Dongying Wu Lin hegemon, the Godless Palace. If I'm not mistaken, the one on the palanquin is Jue Wushen!"

The Wu Lin people present included not only natives of the Nine Provinces but also Yunzhou Wu Lin figures.

These Luo Sha ghosts hadn't concealed their movements, and they were recognized on the spot.

"Dongying people, acting this arrogant?"

Li Taibai smiled faintly. He had heard the Great Dragon Head's disdain for Dongying people more than once.

Ximen Wudi had once said that Dongying people were not only selfish, short, and despicable, but most importantly, their ambitions were boundless.

If there was a chance, he would definitely make a trip to Dongying to teach them how to behave.

Previously, when Yunzhou had not yet returned, Li Taibai had never seen a Dongying person.

"What? The three great dynasties famed across the world don't even dare to put up a fight, and you're just going to hand over a blessed land like the War God Palace to others?"

When the Luo Sha ghosts and the Great Tang cavalry met, Jue Wushen revealed himself from the palanquin and immediately began to taunt them.

Corpses Hanba was already hot-tempered to begin with, and this single sentence sent him into such a rage that the Three Corpse Gods in him leaped about wildly.

But just then, a voice came from the void. This fool snorted twice, yet somehow held himself back, and without looking back, led the Yulin Guard away.

"Great Tang has no one left."

"However, the Great Qin has long been renowned across the Nine Provinces. Qin Huang is a peerless hero of his age, 'Butcher of Men' Bai Qi, and Mr. Shang Yang are likewise famed throughout the four seas."

"The Qin Ruishi are also matchless elites."

"Could it be that the two of you also do not dare…"

Before Jue Wushen could finish his sentence, Shang Yang and Bai Qi, leading the Qin Ruishi, had already walked several hundred zhang away.

"Ill-fated."

Jue Wushen's face twitched, and he too was quite furious.

He then turned to the four people—Living Buddha Lianhua's group—who were just then walking over,

"Though I have long resided overseas, I too have heard of Genghis Khan's fame for drawing his bow to shoot the eagle."

"It is said the Khan is a lord for the ages, who first carved out a domain of ten thousand li and gathered countless heroes."

"Living Buddha Lianhua is even like a reincarnation of the Buddha, his cultivation virtually dazzling through ancient and modern."

"Today, with the War God Palace opening, this is a heaven-sent opportunity for Dayuan."

"What Heaven grants and you do not take, you shall be punished for."

"If the Living Buddha is willing, I would pour out all the strength of the Wu Shen Jue Palace to help the Living Buddha obtain this War God Palace — how about it?"

"I only hope that once the deed is done, the Khan can grant me some minor official post, and allow me to return to the Central Plains."

Jue Wushen launched into another torrent of flattery, practically on the verge of kneeling to lick his boots.

After this whole speech, the three Long Xiang Seng were all floating on air.

Monk Naomo spoke up even more directly,

"Living Buddha, this kid has a point — what Heaven bestows, one must take…"

"Shut up!"

Living Buddha Lianhua Sheng was not like Monk Naomo, whose brain was already wrecked — how could he fail to see that this Jue Wushen was using the Great Yuan as a tool?

It sounded pleasant enough — helping them and the others obtain the War God Palace.

He feared the real aim was to incite them to wage war against Li Taibai and the Qinglong Society.

This Jue Wushen would be the first to stand by and watch, then reap the benefits of the fisherman's fight.

Such an obvious trick — apart from someone like Monk Naomo whose brain doesn't work, most people probably wouldn't fall for it.

233-Jue Wushen: Stop right there! If you don't beat me to death today, don't even think about going in! (Begging for subscriptions)

Jue Wushen was also sly beyond compare, seeing at a glance that Living Buddha Lianhua Sheng was not easy to fool.

He stood directly atop the imperial palanquin, gathered his full cultivation, and said loudly,

"Previously, this Honored One was in You Dongying, and heard that the heroes of the Nine Provinces were as numerous as carp crossing the river."

"I never expected that seeing them today would truly be a great disappointment."

"Now the War God Palace lies just ahead — once one enters this palace, one can Yuyuelong Sect."

"Even a mere mortal can Yuyuelong Sect, ascending to become a Land Immortal."

"Such a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity is precisely the opportunity for us practitioners of Wu Gong."

"Could it be that among the hundreds of millions of men of the Nine Provinces, and the three great dynasties whose fame spreads to the four corners, not a single person dares to enter this War God Palace and reverse their own fate?"

This speech of Jue Wushen was not only extremely inflammatory, but also employed a trace of the Xie Sect Wu Gong peculiar to You Dongying that bewitches the mind.

Originally constrained by the fame of the Qinglong Society and the prestige of the forbidden expert Ximen Wudi,

at this moment, every martial artist with slightly lower cultivation was surging with restless fervor.

"Exactly! Learning Wu Gong is fundamentally a matter of fighting Heaven and Earth for a sliver of life — with such a supreme opportunity now manifest, how could I miss it?"

"Right! The War God Palace was never meant to belong to any one person — it belongs to all martial artists."

"On what grounds do the three great dynasties, and… heh, just say the word and claim possession of it?"

"I won't accept it!"

"We won't accept it!"
