This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 633 With Me, Victory is Certain
Lanling City.

In the royal palace, in the royal study.

Emperor Qin Ziheng was playing chess with Grand Secretary Ye Ze'an.

On the chessboard, the black and white pieces are intertwined, and the situation is unclear.

Qin Ziheng was clearly distracted. After casually placing a piece, he said:

"What if the Great Luo Sect had already decided to join forces with Buddhism?"

Ye Ze'an didn't hesitate for long either, placing a piece and capturing several of Qin Ziheng's pieces:
"Taiyu is a man of strategy but not decisiveness, and his actions tend to be conservative. Otherwise, he would not have intervened to stop Qingxu in the first place."

Qin Ziheng thought for a moment and nodded.

If Taiyu hadn't intervened to stop Qingxu, the other party might not have succeeded, but they would have had a better chance.

Of course, if Taiyu had rebelled with Qingxu back then, and had been defeated afterward, the Daluo Sect would have had no choice but to be wiped out!

Looking back, it's hard to say whether Yu's conservatism was right or wrong.

Ye Ze'an's analysis of Tai Yu was very accurate, which is why he set up this scheme.

Just then, Qin Ziheng received a message from a thousand miles away. He narrowed his eyes and his tone became somewhat serious:
"The Buddhists sent the River-Suppressing Heavenly King, and he has already taken action."

Ye Ze'an was not surprised at all: "Your Majesty may give the order now."

Qin Ziheng immediately exuded an aura of grandeur, and the majestic power of the supreme ruler filled the imperial study.

The fate of the Great Blue Kingdom fluctuated according to his will, transmitting the emperor's commands to places thousands of miles away.

Linshui Province, bordering the Westernmost Country.

The army stationed in the city suddenly made a move.

First, a blue giant, a thousand meters tall, rose up from the ground, exuding a murderous aura!

Immediately afterwards, martial arts masters, including True Persons, Grandmasters, and Top True Persons, rose up one after another.

In addition, a total of eight imperial guard units, each with a strength of one thousand men, emerged one by one from the open city gates!

After the major battles in the East, South, and North ended, the Great Blue Dynasty has been converging its imperial guards and powerful warriors on the western border.

The army that Wenren is leading now has almost gathered half of the elite forces of the Great Blue Dynasty!

Wenren, clad in black armor, was taking off for the last time.

He raised his hand and pointed towards the Western Regions, offering no pre-battle mobilization, only a single, simple word:

"kill--"

The army's might is overwhelming, and they march out to invade the Western Kingdom!

The standoff between the Great Blue Dynasty and the Western Extremity Kingdom has maintained a delicate balance.

The Great Blue Dynasty found it difficult to breach the pass, and the Western Extreme Kingdom also found it difficult to break out.

Now that the news of the Heavenly King Zhenhe appearing at the Daluo Sect has been confirmed, the Emperor immediately ordered Wenren Zheng to send troops.

With the strongest Zhenhe Heavenly King gone, Wenren Zheng could lead his army to rampage through the territory of the Western Extremity Kingdom!
As long as he doesn't attack the capital or enter the Buddhist Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation, it will be difficult to keep him with only the weakened Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, Qin Mingli (the weakest of the Seven Martial Saints), and a Prince-level Pure Lotus who can borrow the nation's fortune.

Therefore, Wenren Zheng's goal in this battle is to inflict as much damage as possible and deplete the national fortune of Xiji Kingdom!
Ye Ze'an made his move at the Daluo Sect with the intention of sacrificing Zhou Xuanwo.

If the Great Luo Sect is determined to join forces with the Buddhist sect, it's better to force them to reveal their intentions before the battle than to be stabbed in the back at a crucial moment.

As for the loss of a royal chief priest and a sacred body, Wenren Zheng fought his way back within the Western Kingdom!

Above the gate of the Daluo Sect.

Before the other spectators could see clearly, all the strange phenomena in the world vanished in a daze.

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe and Taiyu separated again, returning to the state they were in before their battle.

It appears that both of them are still at their peak, and they are completely unharmed.

Taiyu looked at Zhenhe Tianwang with a complicated expression. In the previous exchange, he had lost a round.

Of course, neither of them used their full strength in this exchange.

It's still a long way off before a decisive victory or even a life-or-death situation is determined.

But both Taiyu and Zhenhe Tianwang had their own concerns and reasons for having to protect themselves.

So the two of them stopped fighting without letting the battle escalate further.

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King pursed his lips and frowned.

In this battle, he also witnessed the significance of Taiyu, the number one Taoist martial artist.

Although he won the previous exchange, if Taiyu really sides with the Great Blue Dynasty, and they meet on the battlefield in the future, even if he can kill Taiyu, he himself will probably be crippled!

The Heavenly King Zhenhe gave Taiyu a deep look, but ultimately said nothing. He then turned and led Wuxuan into the void, departing from there.

Taiyu remained suspended in mid-air, not in a hurry to return to the mountain gate, as if waiting for something.

A moment later, a figure emerged from the void.

The newcomer was dressed in a golden robe and was very young; it was none other than Li Fei.

When Taiyu saw Li Fei, he was not surprised at all, and calmly looked at this young man who was already famous throughout the world:

"The Duke of Jing'an arrived just in time."

Li Fei naturally sensed the sarcasm in Tai Yu's words.

In fact, he had arrived long ago, but he waited until the Heavenly King of Zhenhe had gone far away before he appeared to see Taiyu.

He did not join the battle when the two martial saints were fighting.

Even with his help, the Heavenly King Zhenhe would certainly not be able to stay.

This is also why the Buddhist sect sent the River-Suppressing Heavenly King. If it were the weakened Buddha-Eye Heavenly King or the even weaker Qin Mingli, they wouldn't be able to guarantee a safe retreat.

Similarly, Li Fei did not dare to show himself rashly.

If Taiyu and Zhenhe Tianwang are putting on an act, and the third and fourth strongest in the world join forces, he might have to die here today!
"Greetings, Master Taiyu."

Li Fei bowed to Tai Yu.

"Duke Jing'an, shall we meet in the mountains, or shall we talk in Daluo Town?"

Taiyu asked.

This is a very critical question.

Once Li Fei enters the gates of the Great Luo Sect, if Tai Yu has other ideas, he will be in danger and won't be able to escape!
Ultimately, the key is whether or not trust can be established between the Great Blue Dynasty and the Great Luo Sect.

Li Fei and Tai Yu exchanged glances and smiled:

"I also miss the scenery on Mount Daluo. Please lead the way, Sect Leader."

Taiyu first rescued the people, and then attacked the River-Suppressing Heavenly King, demonstrating his sincerity.

If the Great Blue Dynasty wants to win over the Great Luo Sect, it must demonstrate its sincerity.

Li Fei, the Duke of Jing'an, the future hope of the Great Blue Dynasty, is undoubtedly extremely sincere in daring to risk his life.

Hearing Li Fei say this, Tai Yu's serious expression softened slightly:
"please."

Li Fei: "Sect Leader, please wait a moment. Allow me to bring another person with me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xuanwo.

Zhou Xuan nodded and rode the wind down to Da Luo Town below.

A moment later, Zhou Xuanwo, Zhao Jin, and Chagan Bayar all flew up.

Chaganbayar looked bewildered, but his heart was in turmoil!

He couldn't see the commotion clearly because of his current level of understanding.

But given his status as a top-tier expert, he still had the insight to understand it quickly.

"Sending me to the Great Luo Sect was indeed a setup!"

Chagan Baya had already roughly guessed Ye Ze'an's plan.

If Buddhism wants to form an alliance with the Daluo Sect, it will take action sooner or later.

Instead of guarding against thieves for a thousand days, it's better to proactively create an opportunity for Buddhism.

"What a brilliant plan!"

Chaganbayar's mind raced as he pondered his situation and how to respond.

Upon arriving in the sky and seeing Li Fei, he immediately showed excitement:
"Greetings, Duke Jing'an!"

Li Fei nodded to him, then looked at Tai Yu:

"Sect Leader, this person is the one our dynasty mentioned in the previous message. We hope that the Great Luo Sect can allow him to go up the mountain to cultivate."

Chaganbayar was filled with surprise and doubt.

If his role in this game was merely to act as bait, then it's already over. Why send him to the Great Luo Sect?

Taiyu glanced at Chaganbayar, made no comment, and simply led the group toward the mountain gate.

The protective mountain formation opened a 'door' for the group to enter.

Taiyu led Li Fei and the others directly to the main peak of the Daluo Sect, Daluo Peak.

Afterwards, a disciple led Zhou Xuanwo, Zhao Jin, and Chagan Bayar to rest first, while Li Fei followed Taiyu to the back mountain of Daluo Peak.

The two sat down in a pavilion on the back hill.

Li Fei looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the mountain peaks and did not rush to speak.

Taiyu looked at the young man before him and felt a pang of emotion.

The last time I met Li Fei, he was just a minor Dao Foundation stage martial artist.

Now, when we meet again, they are on equal footing with me.

The conversation that follows could very well determine the fate of the Great Luo Sect!
Things are different now. Back when the Great Blue Dynasty was surrounded by enemies, the Great Luo Sect could simply observe the situation.

But now, the Great Luo Sect has no choice but to take sides!

After a moment of silence in the pavilion, Li Fei spoke first:
"The fact that the Heavenly King of Zhenhe has come in person this time is a testament to the sincerity of Buddhism. What are the sect leader's thoughts on this?"

Taiyu sneered: "No matter how sincere we are, haven't we still fallen into your trap?"

Li Fei looked at him and bowed respectfully.
"In any case, I want to thank the sect leader for saving people."

Taiyu did not speak, but accepted the bow.

Li Fei continued:

"The sect leader should know that I am skilled in cultivation and fighting, but negotiation is not my forte. The imperial court sent me here to show its sincerity. So I will speak frankly."

Taiyu looked at him expressionlessly, signaling him to continue.

Li Fei: "Before I came, the Grand Secretary asked me to convey two messages to the Sect Leader."

"Oh?"

"The first point is that the difference between Buddhism and Taoism lies in their different religious beliefs. Differences in interests can at least be mitigated; differences in their doctrines mean that there can only be a fight to the death."

Taiyu did not speak.

How could he not know the key to this?
This is also a major reason why he hesitated to join forces with Buddhism.

"What's one more thing?"

"Secondly, if the Great Luo Sect chooses to side with the Buddhists, the outcome will be fifty-fifty. But if the Great Luo Sect chooses to side with the Great Blue Dynasty, then our side will surely win!"

Taiyu slowly closed his eyes:

"Ye Ze'an's reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Li Fei could clearly sense the change in the emotions of the Great Luo Sect leader before him, and quickly seized the opportunity:
"His Majesty also has a few words for me to convey to the sect leader."

"please say."

"First, the grudges between our dynasty and the Great Luo Sect are the grudges between the late emperor, the national teacher, and Qingxu and others, and they are all in the past."

Secondly, since our dynasty can accommodate the Feather Transformation Sect and the Upper Purity Sect, it can naturally accommodate the Great Luo Sect as well.

Third, as long as the Great Luo Sect is willing to help, our dynasty can promise to ensure the Great Luo Sect's safety for a hundred years.

Taiyu listened calmly to the three points Li Fei made.

To be honest, he didn't quite believe any of the three points Qin Ziheng made.
"I heard that the Duke of Jing'an personally went down to the Abyss, killed a ninth-grade beast, and made an alliance with the Northern Barbarians.

After pondering for a moment, Taiyu spoke.

Although the Great Luo Sect has closed its mountain, it still keeps abreast of news.

"If the Great Blue Dynasty is willing to use the blood of a ninth-grade exotic beast to also establish an alliance with my Great Luo Sect, then we can talk."

Li Fei looked troubled upon hearing this.

The source blood originally taken from Jiao Yuan was used half to sign the Alliance of the Desolate Gods and half to sign a contract with Xu Chi Han.

Li Fei had no source blood left.

As for slaying another ninth-grade exotic beast.
Killing Jiao Yuan was a matter of chance, with an element of luck involved.

Now that the ninth-grade beasts in the Abyss are on guard, the difficulty of killing them has increased significantly!
If Li Fei were to descend into the Abyss again, he might very well end up wasting the nation's resources without gaining anything in return.

"I've already used up all the ninth-grade beast blood I have, so this matter will probably be very difficult."

Li Fei shook his head.

Taiyu showed a look of disappointment.

Unless an oath is made with the blood of a ninth-grade exotic beast, it will not have any binding force on the Great Blue Dynasty.

Otherwise, Taiyu could not believe any other oaths, spells, or verbal promises.

"Does the Duke of Jing'an have anything else to say?"

Taiyu asked.

Li Fei: "Finally, I have a few words I'd like to say to the sect leader."

"please say."

"To be arrogant, as long as I am in the Great Blue Dynasty, victory is inevitable; it's just a matter of time!"

Li Fei's words were extremely arrogant.

"."

Taiyu remained silent, unable to refute.

Li Fei looked at him and continued:

"Therefore, I advise the sect leader to make a decision as soon as possible while the Great Blue Dynasty still needs the Great Luo Sect. Leave a way out for yourself and for the Great Luo Sect."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, bowed to Taiyu again, and then turned and walked out of the pavilion.

Taiyu watched Li Fei's departing figure and sat in the pavilion for a long time without saying a word.

Inside a courtyard on Mount Daluo, Zhou Xuanwo, Zhao Jin, and Chagan Bayar were drinking tea and waiting in the main hall.

A moment later, footsteps could be heard.

The three turned to look and saw Li Fei walking in with a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe.

"This is Qingwei Zhenren, the peak master of Feiyun Peak."

Li Fei introduced the three people.

"I have met Master Qingwei."

"You are Welcome."

Qingwei responded with a smile.

Li Fei pointed at Chagan Bayar: "Master Qingwei, his name is Chagan Bayar. He is now a viscount of our Great Blue Dynasty. From now on, we entrust him to you, Master Qingwei."

Qingwei sized up Chaganbayar and nodded to Li Fei:
"Please rest assured, Duke, the Great Luo Sect will definitely nurture him with care."

"Thank you."

"You're too kind, Duke."

Li Fei waved to Chaganbayar, and Chaganbayar walked up to him.

"From now on, Master Qingwei will be your teacher in the Great Luo Sect."

"what?"

Chaganbayar looked completely bewildered.

He didn't know that Qingwei now possessed the combat strength of a prince, but he did know that the peak master of Feiyun Peak was in charge of the Great Luo Sect's precepts and was the second most important figure in the sect after the sect leader.

He never expected that Li Fei would arrange a teacher of such high status for him.

"Chaganbayar greets his teacher!"

Chaganbayar eventually bowed respectfully to Qingwei.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Li Fei said to Qingwei, "In that case, we'll take our leave."

Then Qingwei personally controlled the mountain-protecting formation, opening a 'door' for Li Fei and the others, sending them away.

On Mount Daluo, Chagan Bayar remained alone in the courtyard, awaiting the arrangements made for him by the Daluo Sect.

Just as he was pondering how to proceed with his cultivation at the Great Luo Sect, a voice suddenly resounded in his mind:
"Amitabha Buddha, how has the benefactor come to be in such a state?"
