"The holy words of the Confucian Dao, Unyielding Might!"
With a few shouts, four figures landed before Xiao Chen and Yang Qing with a vast and boundless aura that was as heavy as a mountain.
The leader was dressed like a scholar. He had a fair face and no facial hair, exuding a scholarly air.
At this moment, the four arrived with their swords in hand. Their scholarly air turned into a righteous air. Their expressions were resolute, and their eyes shone with an unparalleled sharpness.
Their auras soared infinitely. In the blink of an eye, they reached the aura of a peak Major Primal Core cultivator.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. This Unyielding Might was somewhat similar to his Deities Descending. Similarly, it raised one's aura and strength for a short time.
However, this Unyielding Might merged with the righteous air of the Confucian Dao. It was much better than Deities Descending alone.
The four each sent out a sword strike. Sword Qi surged out, shaking mountains and rivers as they struck the Black Iron Demonic Ape.
"Boom!"
Space trembled, and that Black Iron Demonic Ape's unparalleled aura was forcefully suppressed. Under these four sword strikes, it was knocked back.
Apart from the leader of the group, the other three paled and gasped for breath as they slashed out with Unstoppable Might.
However, the pale-faced scholar sent out several sword flowers in the air. His sword moved like it was a Go, and his sword moved like it was a Go stone. Metallic clangs rang out crisply and crisply.
"Great Sword Technique."
Xiao Chen could not help praising softly as he watched, entranced.
The other party's Sword Technique was truly exquisite. His sword moved like it was a Go stone, and he used it like a god. He used all sorts of Sword Moves as he pleased, not sticking to a single pattern.
It looked like a random combination, but in reality, every move contained deep meaning. Every time he sent out a sword move, it was a setup. When the ten moves were over and the setup was set, that pale-faced scholar sheathed his sword and slowly landed.
As Xiao Chen slowly descended, a trembling sound came from the air. Some of the previously unremarkable Sword Techniques suddenly exploded out.
These Sword Moves gathered into a resplendent sword light and left a basin-sized wound on the Black Iron Demonic Ape's chest. Blood spurted out like a fountain.
The Demonic Black Iron Ape's ferocity didn't diminish despite its severe injuries. However, it stopped for a moment and roared a few times before choosing to flee back into the forest.
After confirming that the Black Iron Demonic Ape had truly gone far away, the pale-faced scholar led his three companions over to Xiao Chen and Yang Qing.
Xiao Chen remained calm and collected, waiting to see what this group of people wanted to do.
Although the Demonic Black Iron Ape was powerful enough to appear in the Saber Dao, Xiao Chen did not need the help of others.
Initially, it was only because they had not expected the Black Iron Demonic Ape to appear. Furthermore, the Black Iron Demonic Ape's ability to conceal its aura was superb, so they did not notice it.
However, since Yang Qing made a move and helped him gain some time to catch his breath, escaping would not be a problem.
Even without the help of the four, Xiao Chen could still solve the problem in front of him, so he didn't feel particularly grateful.
Most importantly, Xiao Chen felt that the four of them were not simply helping him. It felt like they were deliberately showing off their strength.
"Many thanks to the four of you for helping me.
I did not ask for your guidance, "Xiao Chen said as he stepped forward and performed a cupped-fist salute.
"Young Master Xiao is too polite. Even if we did not make a move, Young Master Xiao would have dealt with it. I am Wang Ce, and these three are my junior brothers. We are all from the Confucian Institution. "
The pale-faced scholar was rather honest and did not put on airs of taking credit for himself.
"The Confucian Institution? What is your relationship with Wang Yueming? "Xiao Chen asked softly, feeling excited.
At the mention of Wang Yueming, pride flashed in the eyes of the other Confucian Institution disciples. They said, "That is my senior brother. We are all disciples of the same teacher. However, Senior Brother Wang went to a forbidden land."
"A forbidden land!"
Yang Qing exclaimed. However, she soon felt relieved. "That's right. As one of the three great geniuses, Wang Yueming is indeed qualified to enter a forbidden land."
Wang Ce smiled and looked at Xiao Chen. Then, he said seriously, "Let's not talk about this for now. Young Master Xiao, what do you think of our strength?"
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen answered honestly, "Very strong. If we worked together, I would not be able to deal with them easily. This is especially so for Young Master Wang. Your sword skills are a great eye-opener. Your sword moves are like Go, and your moves are casual and relaxed, not sticking to one pattern. However, when you reap the harvest, you are swift and decisive. You kill decisively and efficiently. "
Clearly, Wang Ce was very happy to receive such an evaluation from Xiao Chen. He smiled humbly and said, "It is not worth mentioning. Compared to Young Master Xiao's saber skills, I am still much weaker."
Young Master Xiao … why is this person so long-winded and wishy-washy? Even now, I still do not know what he wants to do.
Yang Qing's voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind. He smiled and replied, There is no rush. The people of the Confucian sect are just like that.
After chatting idly for a while, Wang Ce said, "We all saw Young Master Xiao's battle with that Profound Light Temple monk. Actually, if we want to go to the Buddha Seeking Platform, there is no need to ally with that group of monks.
"The righteous Qi of our Confucian sect also has a strong suppressive effect on Fiendish Demons.
"That Black Iron Demonic Ape earlier was a Fiendish Spirit Ape. However, when it faced our Confucian sect's Sword Techniques, it was still forced to flee."
Xiao Chen now understood. The righteous Qi and the Buddhist sect's Buddhist Might were indeed similar on a certain level.
At the same time, Xiao Chen understood the intentions of the other four. They wanted to work with him to go to the Buddha Seeking Platform.
"Brother Wang Ce, do you want to work together and go to the Buddha Seeking Platform together?"
Wang Ce nodded and said, "The Buddha Seeking Platform is not simple. The Fiendish Demons in the temples are all intelligent, no different from us. Furthermore, they are already used to the pressure of the Fiendish Demon Battlefield. With the same cultivation realm, the strength they can bring out is stronger than ours. "
After coming to the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, everyone, including Xiao Chen, had their strength suppressed. It was just a matter of how much.
"Young Master Xiao saw our strength earlier. What do you think? Do you want to go to the Buddha Seeking Platform together?" Wang Ce revealed a confident expression, feeling very confident in his invitation.
Xiao Chen exchanged glances with Yang Qing. Then, he said, "I'll discuss this with my companion first."
The two walked to the side and communicated via voice projection.
Xiao Chen said, "Miss Yang, I do not care what you think. I am already very satisfied with the natural treasures in the forest. Right now, we just need to go to the Buddha Seeking Platform and take a look at those ancient Buddha statues. That will be enough. "
Xiao Chen's goal was very firm. It was to improve his Buddha-nature and strengthen the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique. Everything else was just a bonus.
Yang Qing entered deep thought. "I don't mind, either. However, Young Master Xiao, don't be fooled by the benevolent appearance of that Confucian Institution disciple."
Xiao Chen looked at the other party in shock. This Yang Qing seemed to have a grudge against the people of the Confucian Institution. She had not shown such an expression when facing that group of bald donkeys earlier.
After the discussion, Xiao Chen felt confident and slowly walked over.
"How was it? What's the result of the discussion?" Wang Ce asked.
"Sure. However, if there are any gains along the way, the two of us want sixty percent. You can only get forty percent."
"In that case, wouldn't the four of us each get only ten percent?" A Confucian Institution disciple immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
Wang Ce's lips twitched slightly. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Young Master Xiao, we are very sincere …"
In any case, it did not matter. Actually, Xiao Chen could have been more ruthless. Sixty percent or forty percent was already a more sincere proposal.
"That's all, then. Goodbye."
Since the other party felt that Xiao Chen was not sincere, there was no point in continuing the conversation. So, Xiao Chen waved his hand and took his leave with Yang Qing.
"Damn it! Big Brother Wang Ce, this so-called White Robed Bladesman is really shameless."
"We helped him out of goodwill, and he actually demanded such a high price."
"How infuriating! He is simply looking down on the people of our Confucian Institution."
"Elder Brother Wang Ce, there is no need to be polite with him. We can just snatch whatever he has on him."
Seeing Xiao Chen go far away, the people of the Confucian Institution all expressed their dissatisfaction.
Wang Ce showed an uncertain expression, rage flashing in his eyes.
Aside from Xiao Chen's strength, Wang Ce sought to work with Xiao Chen because of the mysterious item that Xiao Chen had on him.
Wang Ce guessed that Xiao Chen definitely had some treasure with a deep connection to Buddhism. Otherwise, he could not have gained so much in this Buddha Seeking Mountain.
However, Wang Ce was not confident of making a move on Xiao Chen. Based on the girl beside Xiao Chen, she did not seem to be an ordinary person.
Just as Wang Ce was at a loss for what to do, a group of people rushed over from below.
When he looked up, he saw Yan Feng, whom Xiao Chen defeated earlier, leading a Profound Light Temple disciple towards the summit.
"The Imperial Light Temple's Zhen Xuan!"
Wang Ce immediately revealed a smile on his face. He said indifferently, "There will come a time when you beg me."
