How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Zhongzhou...

Mo Bo walked into the Heavenly Fiend Palace branch with a smile and asked, "Did you bring the head I requested?"

"You still want more heads?" The masked man's voice was hoarse, filled with obvious anger.

Mober's smile faded, and he asked, "What do you mean? So, you've failed?"

"The failure was all because of the false information you provided! This time, your Xiao family must compensate my Heavenly Fiend Palace for its losses," the masked man said angrily.

"I provided false information? How did I provide false information?" Mober retorted.

"It's because you said the Myriad Laws Sect only has one Great Saint that our Heavenly Fiend Palace lost three Great Saints this time! How many resources does it take to cultivate a Great Saint? Answer me!" The masked man stared intently into Mo Bo's eyes as he asked.

Faced with this question, Mo Bo felt somewhat guilty and dared not look directly at the masked man.

"So, there's more than one Great Sage within the Myriad Laws Sect?" Mo Bo asked.

"What do you think? If there's only one, how could they possibly kill my three Grand Elders? Even if they're no match for them, they can always escape. Even if they faced five Great Saints, they might not be able to take down my three Grand Elders," the masked man retorted.

"This failure is entirely the fault of your Xiao family. The spirit crystals from last time will not be refunded, and your Xiao family must compensate our Heavenly Fiend Palace with 50 million spirit crystals, plus the things we discussed last time."

"Alright. I'll compensate you, but I didn't bring that many spirit crystals. I only brought Soul Condensing Jade Marrow and three thousand-year-old Blood Ginsengs. I'll bring the rest of the spirit crystals to you tomorrow," Mo Bo said.

"Can……"

Mober tossed a ring aside, turned, and walked away...

Upon returning to the Xiao family, Mo Bo immediately went to Xiao Li's cave dwelling.

"Young Master, the Heavenly Fiend Palace has failed."

"What did you say? You can fail like this? What kind of useless people are the Heavenly Fiend Palace?" Xiao Li asked with a gloomy face.

"Young Master, the mission failed mainly because of a problem with the intelligence we provided. This time, the Heavenly Fiend Palace sent three Great Saints, but they were all killed by the Myriad Laws Sect."

So, does that mean the Myriad Laws Sect has more than one Great Sage?

"Yes, young master... if there was only one Great Sage, it would be impossible to kill three Great Sages. According to the intelligence we provided, the Myriad Laws Sect only has one Great Sage, so the Heavenly Fiend Hall is demanding 50 million spirit crystals in compensation from us," Mo Bo said.

"What? The mission failed, and we still have to pay compensation? The Heavenly Fiend Palace is going too far!" Xiao Li said angrily.

"Young Master, after all, it was our fault for providing incorrect information, which caused them to lose three Great Saints. If we don't compensate them, I'm afraid you'll be watched by the Heavenly Fiend Palace every time you go out in the future," Mo Bo advised.

Upon hearing Mo Bo's words, Xiao Li thought about the possibility of being watched or assassinated every day when he went out in the future. After a moment of thought, he decided to make compensation. He didn't want to be targeted by others in the future.

Alright, I'll compensate. Since we've failed, now we'll just wait for news from Father. He's already sent someone to the Myriad Laws Sect.

Yes, young master...

Eastern Regions...

An army of ten thousand men is slowly approaching Wanfa City.

Upon seeing this army, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

Is this the army of the Tianyu Dynasty?

It is indeed the army of the Tianyu Dynasty. Didn't you see the words "Tianyu" written on the banner?

Holy crap, how dare they? They were already jilted by the Myriad Laws Sect once before, and now they've sent troops here directly—are they trying to provoke trouble?!

A broken engagement? Fellow Daoist, how come I didn't know that the Heavenly Revelation Dynasty had its engagement broken off? How did you find out?

Of course I know. I live in the Imperial City of Tianyu and have some connections in the court. You don't know because the news has been blocked by the Tianyu Dynasty.

So, is the Tianyu Dynasty sending troops here to attack the Wanfa Sect?

What are you thinking? You think you can attack the Myriad Laws Sect with just 10,000 people? You're probably here to cause trouble in Myriad Laws City.

At this moment, Zhiyao also walked up the city wall and looked at the army not far away. She was a little puzzled and wondered what the Tianyu Dynasty was up to.

Zhiyao is no longer afraid of anyone. Last night, the Valley Master sent her a message instructing her to guard Wanfa City well and not to be afraid of anything, as the Upper Sect is extremely powerful. Yesterday, the Valley Master personally witnessed twelve Quasi-Emperors, and no one knows how much more the Upper Sect has hidden. At the time, Zhiyao listened to the Valley Master recount all this as if it were heavenly scripture, but later, she understood why the Upper Sect didn't take the Xiao family, an imperial clan, seriously.

"Who are you down there? How dare you bring an army to my Wanfa City?" Zhiyao shouted.

"I am General Shangguan of the Tianyu Dynasty. I have come here to take over the defense of Wanfa City. Please withdraw your men immediately and let my army take over everything here."

Zhiyao sneered, "Take over the defenses of Wanfa City? The Tianyu Dynasty has quite the nerve! Wanfa City is none of your business to dictate things."

General Shangguan's face darkened: "You're from Hundred Flowers Valley, aren't you? Don't be so stubborn. This place has always been the territory of my Heavenly Decree Dynasty. You built a city here without reporting to my dynasty. Now that the city is built, my dynasty will not pursue your responsibility, but the city's defenses should rightfully be under my dynasty's control..."

Just as tensions were running high, suddenly… space was torn apart, and more than a dozen monks emerged, each radiating Buddhist light and chanting ethereal Buddhist sounds, unanimously proclaiming, “Amitabha!”

“This lady, I think what the general said makes sense. You built a city on someone else’s territory, and not only did they not blame you, they also kindly advised you that they were only taking over the city’s defenses, and you should give way to them. Amitabha!” Jiechen said.

Holy crap, the Heavenly Revelation Dynasty and these monks are so shameless and brazen, but after hearing what they said, it actually makes some sense, haha...

I knew it! Where did the Heavenly Decree Dynasty get the confidence to send troops to Wanfa City? It turns out they have the support of these monks.

This is going to be interesting. Fellow Daoist, do you think they might start fighting?

Upon hearing such shameless words, Zhiyao was instantly enraged and shouted angrily, "You shameless bald monks! Instead of chanting scriptures in the temple, you come to my Wanfa City to cause trouble! When did it become your business to meddle in the affairs of Wanfa City?!"

When the people at Wanfo Temple heard someone call them "dead bald monks," they angrily retorted, "You vicious woman, with such a foul mouth, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Hey, stop..." Jiechen reached out and stopped everyone.

"Amitabha Buddha, what a sin, what a sin!"

"Female benefactor, be careful what you say. We are merely reasoning with you. Female benefactor, you should relinquish the city defenses! Amitabha!"

"You bald monk, what if I don't allow it? Go back to where you came from!" Zhiyao cursed.

"Female benefactor, you have gone too far. Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your Valley Master."

Having said that, Jiechen raised his hand and attacked Zhiyao. This palm strike was imbued with powerful Buddhist energy, and its momentum was unstoppable as it hurtled towards Zhiyao. At this critical moment, a figure appeared like a ghost—it was Jun Xiaoyao. He raised his hand and gently blocked, neutralizing Jiechen's attack.

Zhiyao wasn't afraid at all. Even if Senior Jun didn't make a move, she still controlled the city's grand formation.

Jun Xiaoyao coldly looked at Jiechen and the others and said, "The Buddhists, instead of cultivating themselves properly, have come here to stir up trouble. This is truly unbecoming of the Buddhist community."

Jiechen's expression changed; he hadn't expected someone to suddenly intervene: "Who are you? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, Amitabha!"

Jun Xiaoyao sneered: "I am Jun Xiaoyao, an inner elder of the Wanfa Sect."

At this moment, General Shangguan of the Tianyu Dynasty also stepped forward: "Jun Xiaoyao, don't think you can protect Wanfa City. Today, the Tianyu Dynasty is determined to take over the city's defenses."

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed: "A bunch of ants dare to bark at me." With that, he immediately unleashed a sword aura.

Upon seeing the terrifying sword energy slashing towards him, the general immediately cried out, "Master, save me!"

Jiechen immediately flashed in front of Shangguan, casually formed a mudra, and shouted, "Indestructible Vajra Body!"

The sword energy slashed fiercely at Jiechen's indestructible body. With a loud "boom," Jiechen was shaken back repeatedly, a mouthful of blood in his mouth, which he then swallowed back down.

Jiechen was shocked, never expecting Jun Xiaoyao's sword energy to be so fierce.

Jun Xiaoyao snorted coldly, about to make another move. At this moment, a beam of Buddhist light suddenly descended from the sky, and an old monk wearing a golden kasaya slowly appeared. "Amitabha, Benefactor Jun, please be merciful when you can," the old monk said with his hands clasped together.

Jun Xiaoyao frowned: "Who are you?" The old monk smiled and said: "I am Master Xuanji of Wanfo Temple. I have come here to resolve this dispute. The Tianyu Dynasty and the Wanfa Sect should not be in conflict. I hope Benefactor Jun will give me some face."
