Chapter 525
What's more, behind him was that Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha who looked just like a child.
"Since no one objects, then this old monk will accept Long Yin窟 and Long Zhu."
The Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha smiled, struck a deliberate pose and bowed to the Wudazhang Sect, then headed toward Long Yin窟.
Long Xiang Seng didn't follow, just stood there leaning on his staff — clearly staying behind to keep an eye on the others.
Shangguan Yun was so furious he nearly spat blood — after all this running around, he'd ended up making a wedding dress for the Great Yuan.
But now the situation was stronger than the man!
"For the Living Buddha to want to swallow it all alone — isn't that going too far?"
Just as the Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha was halfway there, Prince Zichu, in a black python robe, slowly appeared, holding the He Shi Bi in his palm.
Behind him, the Great Qin's high-level combatants had all arrived.
346 Who is in favor, who is against?
"So it turns out King Zhuangxiang has arrived…"
The Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha inwardly cursed his bad luck, but took one look at Prince Zichu and the Great Qin dream team behind him.
He could only say helplessly,
"It is said that within Long Yin窟 there are eight Long Zhu."
"Each Long Zhu has quite wonderful uses."
"Since King Zhuangxiang has arrived, why don't we split it half and half — divide these eight Long Zhu evenly?"
Great Yuan's high-end combatants were only the Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha and three others.
The Great Qin arrivals were mainly Prince Zichu, Bai Qi, and Shang Yang.
It looked like Great Yuan had the advantage, but in reality it was Great Qin that held the advantage.
Because none of the three — Prince Zichu included — had yet been ranked on the board, and in Prince Zichu's hands was a great killing weapon like the He Shi Bi!
So the Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha had no choice but to propose the even-split strategy.
"Even-splitting depends on strength."
Prince Zichu smiled,
"Great Qin's national might is already far above Great Yuan's."
"This king, along with Bai Qi and Lord Shang, are also above your four."
"So forget about this talk of even-splitting, Living Buddha."
Long Xiang Seng, hearing this, could not help but feel a bit annoyed.
Although Prince Zichu was speaking the truth, he had just put on a show of being a master — wasn't this a bare-faced slap in the face?
"Good! What fine talk of relying on strength!"
"Heavenly Demon" Cang Ju abruptly appeared,
"By my strength alone, these eight Long Zhu all belong to my Great Tang."
"Who is in favor, who is against?"
The Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha and Prince Zichu exchanged a look, both speechless.
Prince Zichu felt even more speechless — the words he had just spoken had been thrown right back at him.
At this moment, he truly felt he had lost face completely.
But he also knew that the gap in strength between himself and Cang Ju was quite large.
Even with the He Shi Bi added in, he might not necessarily win.
"Strength isn't only one's own strength — there are external objects too."
The Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha saw that all three great dynasties had arrived, each wanting to swallow Long Yin窟 and the Long Zhu whole.
He promptly fished out from his bosom that "Thunder Fire Bomb" he had just intercepted.
"This is the 'Thunder Fire Bomb' — Sir 'Heavenly Demon' and Prince Zichu 'Your Highness' should know what this means?"
"Thunder Fire Bomb?"
Cang Ju and Prince Zichu, hearing this, could not help but take a second look at this strange object, and then felt their scalps tingle.
"Isn't this 'Thunder Fire Bomb' that fool Shangguan Yun's? Living Buddha, are you really sure this is it?"
Bai Qi was a bit skeptical — from this strange object, he could not sense the slightest threat.
"Oh! This was given to me by Hall Master Shangguan."
The Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha pointed at Shangguan Yun not far away, smiling as he said,
"Hall Master Shangguan, isn't that so?"
Shangguan Yun had been called a fool to his face, and his scheme had fallen through — he was already extremely displeased.
Now being pointed out by the Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha on top of that, he was so embarrassed he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Yes…"
But Long Xiang Seng glared viciously at him, so he could only nod in agreement at once.
"Goodness, Living Buddha, then you'd better hold it steady — be careful it blows up in your own face."
Bai Qi, seeing Shangguan Yun admit it — although he didn't know Shangguan Yun — now knew the Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha hadn't lied.
Resentful at heart, he quipped that line.
The Lotus-pedestal Living Buddha was also angered by Bai Qi, but now was not the time to tear off all pretense.
"Don't worry, don't worry! This old monk naturally wouldn't misuse such a divine weapon."
"Now the three sides are evenly matched — I think we can discuss how to evenly divide Long Yin窟 and the Long Zhu."
Before Prince Zichu and Cang Ju could even confer,
High in the sky, another person came tearing through the air, bringing three others with him.
"This god is here. This Dragon Roaring Cave and the Dragon Pearl should both belong to this god."
"Di Shitian…"
The three factions immediately recognized the newcomer.
It was none other than Tianmen Sect Master Di Shitian, who had already defected to the Qinglong Society!
Behind him were naturally the Ice Sovereign, the Divine General, and the Divine Judge.
"'Heavenly Demon,' King Zhuangxiang, this time the Qinglong Society wants to stick its nose in again."
"If we let them succeed like last time, I'm afraid the Qinglong Society's momentum will be even harder to curb."
The three great dynasties had tried time and again to curb the Qinglong Society.
First the War God Hall, then the Deyue Tower.
All three times they returned defeated.
Now, was the Dragon Roaring Cave about to fall into the Qinglong Society's hands as well?
"Although this king also does not wish to see the Qinglong Society grow."
"Unfortunately…"
Prince Zichu was the most helpless. The great Qin hegemonic enterprise grew ever more difficult with the Qinglong Society's emergence.
But what the Qinglong Society now feared most was actually the Nine Provinces Taboo.
As he spoke, Prince Zichu also pointed at the sky.
Everyone immediately understood he was referring to Ximen Wudi, who was still in the Sword Realm.
Whether Di Shitian could handle him was another matter, but last time the Great Yuan deployed a hundred thousand Keseght soldiers to set up a grand formation.
They nearly used the formation's power to forcefully slay the Qinglong Society's "Second of the Second Month," Qiao Feng.
But Ximen Wudi, far away in the Sword Realm, somehow learned of the news.
He actually tore open the Sword Realm and saved Qiao Feng with a "Sword from Beyond the Heavens."
After that, not only did the small moves against the Qinglong Society stop.
Even the three great dynasties no longer dared to openly oppose the Qinglong Society.
After all, who knew when they might offend Ximen Wudi again, and then he'd come with another sword!
Wouldn't that be a fine mess!
Cang Qu also wore a deeply agreeing expression. He asked himself and knew he could not have taken that sword from Ximen Wudi either.
Di Shitian also heard their words and could not help feeling immensely proud.
Although these people feared not him, but the Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.
But he was Ximen Wudi's servant. If he himself were in danger, the Great Dragon Head would most likely not hesitate to tear open the Sword Realm to save him.
