The struggle between orthodoxies had always been cruel. Just like how Shaolin Temple had chased Buddhism to the bitter cold land of the Western Frontier in the past. Shaolin Temple wouldn't mind exterminating Buddhism if given the chance.
If Kunjia Sect was still a branch of Buddhism, then Buddhism wouldn't have worried. Even if Kunjia Sect didn't help them, both sides could at least reach a deal and not hinder the spread of Buddhism.
But now that Kunjia Sect had become a branch of its own, if the Golden Horde Kingdom really took over the Central Plains in the future, then the Central Plains would be divided between Shaolin Temple and Kunjia Sect. Esoteric Buddhism would lose the qualifications to take over the Central Plains.
Looking at the tangled expressions of Supremacy and the others, Su Xin continued, "Oh, right. Let me tell you one more thing. Merriment Temple should know about Kunjia Sect's change in doctrine.
That Merriment Temple's Desmoye is from the Black Flag Tribe of the Eight Imperial Families. Given his identity, he should have come into contact with Kunjia Sect. Therefore, he should know about Kunjia Sect's change in doctrine. "
In the end, Su Xin also conveniently slandered Merriment Temple.
Of course, this wasn't because Su Xin deliberately slandered Merriment Temple, because it was the truth.
The Western Frontier was too far away from the Golden Horde Kingdom, so there was no possibility of communication between the two sides. Even if some Western Frontier cultivators traveled, they would only go to the Central Plains, not the Golden Horde Kingdom.
Therefore, it was normal for other Buddhism cultivators to not know about Kunjia Sect's change in doctrine. However, Desmoye was from the Eight Imperial Families, so it was unreasonable for him not to know about it.
Therefore, Su Xin was sure that Desmoye was deliberately hiding it. Even the other Merriment Temple cultivators knew about it, but they had never mentioned it to other Buddhism cultivators.
The faces of the Grand Master of Great Strength and the others darkened even further.
Now that Su Xin had thrown this matter out, it basically eliminated the possibility of them watching from the sidelines.
However, judging by the fearless expression on Su Xin's face, it was clear that this was all part of his plan. This made the Supreme Great Force Sage feel as though he was being led around by the nose again. This made the Supreme Great Force Sage very unhappy.
However, being unhappy was one thing. This was a huge matter that involved the entire Buddhism, so it had to be handled carefully. Therefore, the Great Strength Guru could only say, "I can't handle this matter. I have to ask the abbot first."
With that, the Grand Master of Great Strength headed to the inner hall of the Diamond Temple to invite Suo Nanche out.
After a while, a strong pressure drifted in the air. Suo Nanche, who was wearing a half-covered kasaya and had a glazed luster all over his body, walked out of the inner hall. His appearance was solemn and dignified, and there was an invisible power in him.
Back at the Heavenly Observation Banquet, Su Xin had met Suo Nanche once. This person's strength was unfathomable, and he could even stand shoulder to shoulder with Xuan Ku.
Buddhism had been able to gain a foothold in the Western Frontier despite the great pressure from the Shaolin Temple. If it wasn't for an expert like Suo Nanche, Buddhism would have been completely annihilated by the Shaolin Temple long ago.
Looking at Su Xin, Suo Nanche's expression didn't change at all. He asked directly, "What exactly can the Zhou Kingdom give us with Buddhism taking action this time?"
Compared to Xuan Ku, Suo Nanche's personality had always been more unyielding and direct.
Su Xin said in a deep voice, "We've already said before that the Zhou Kingdom can fully support Buddhism to enter the Central Plains. It's no longer like before, where the Zhou Kingdom only provides convenience, and Buddhism has to do everything by itself.
Shaolin Temple can rely on its reputation to recruit disciples in the Central Plains. Similarly, if the Zhou Kingdom directly takes action, we can also recruit disciples for Buddhism in the 49 Paths of the Zhou Kingdom, so that Buddhism can really compete with the Shaolin Temple. "
Suo Nanche looked at Su Xin. Although the pressure of a Real Martial Arts Realm expert was not deliberately released, it still made everyone present feel a great pressure.
In particular, Han Jiangli, who was next to Su Xin, was born in the wilderness. Although he was now an expert in the Yang Spirit Realm, he had never dealt with experts in the Real Martial Arts Realm. The only person he was familiar with was Zhao Wunian, the head of the Imperial Worship Hall.
Therefore, facing Suo Nanche now, he was much more nervous than Su Xin and Pang Yuande.
On the other hand, Su Xin was very calm. It was not that he had never dealt with experts in the Real Martial Arts Realm. Of course, this also stemmed from Su Xin's confidence.
The power of the Real Martial Arts Realm was indeed terrifying, but Su Xin was not afraid.
If he could not win, he would escape. Now that Su Xin had used all his trump cards, even if there were experts in the Real Martial Arts Realm chasing after him, Su Xin was confident that he could escape.
After a while, Suo Nanche said, "Are you so sure that Buddhism will take action this time?"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Of course not. Nothing in this world is absolute.
The Zhou Kingdom has not really reached a time of life and death. Even if Buddhism does not take action, the Zhou Kingdom will not be completely destroyed.
Moreover, even if the Zhou Kingdom is really destroyed, I, Su Xin, will not die. Why should I worry? "
Han Jiangli and Pang Yuande both glanced at Su Xin. This person dared to say such a taboo. He was really bold.
In fact, for experts in the Real Martial Arts Realm, it was meaningless to show off in front of them and play some tricks because the other party's strength was obvious.
For example, there were martial artists in the Innate Realm or the Divine Transformation Realm who played tricks in front of Su Xin. This kind of behavior was purely courting death in Su Xin's eyes because he could see through it at a glance.
Now it was the same for Su Xin and Suo Nanche. Su Xin directly said what he thought, and it was up to Buddhism how to choose.
As for what he said just now, Pang Yuande was not a talkative person. He was from the military and had no enmity with Su Xin, so naturally, he would not tell the higher-ups.
Moreover, with Su Xin's current identity and status, it did not matter even if he said it.
As for whether Han Jiangli would report him after returning to the court, Su Xin secretly glanced at Han Jiangli. It was still unknown whether he could return to Shengjing City safely.
Suo Nanche took a deep look at Su Xin. The Central Plains was a land of outstanding people, and there were several people who could hold up the facade of the Zhou Kingdom.
In the past, when dealing with the Zhou Kingdom, Suo Nanche had left it to the Supreme Master of Great Strength. As for this Su Xin, he had only heard about him from the Supreme Master of Great Strength. Now, it seemed that this person was not simple and was not inferior to those who held up the facade of the Zhou Kingdom. It was a pity that there were not many people like this in Buddhism.
Suo Nanche said, "Sure. This time, I will take part in the war of the Zhou Kingdom. However, I will only help you deal with Mo Ge. My Buddhism will not intervene in this matter."
The destructive power of the war was too great. Even if there were many experts in Buddhism, they would not be able to control the situation of this war and would be in great danger.
It was not easy for their Buddhism to nurture a disciple. Therefore, Suo Nanche would not throw them into the fire pit.
Su Xin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Abbot. Please rest assured that my Zhou Kingdom will definitely fulfill its promise."
After speaking, Su Xin immediately left with Pang Yuande.
Suo Nanche was an existence in the True Martial Realm. Naturally, he would not listen to the arrangements of Su Xin and the others.
However, now that Suo Nanche had promised them that he would take action, Suo Nanche would naturally appear at the crucial moment.
Han Jiangli looked at Su Xin with reluctance. He did not expect that even at this stage, Su Xin would still be able to smoothly pass through this hurdle.
Although Han Jiangli was unhappy, he had no other choice. He was actually not good at this kind of conspiracy. This time, he just happened to encounter such a good opportunity, so he made a move against Su Xin.
Now that Su Xin had successfully invited Suo Nanche to take action, what else could he do? At most, he could only wait until he defeated the Golden Horde Kingdom and returned to the Zhou Kingdom. Then, he would tell Ji Xuanyuan and the others about Su Xin's outrageous remarks.
After leaving the western border, Pang Yuande went directly to the Eastern Jin Kingdom border to gather the defeated troops.
Although the troops of the Zhou Kingdom at the Eastern Jin Kingdom border were defeated by the Eastern Jin Kingdom, they did not actually lose many people.
Xiang Chukuang did not die, so he directly ordered the troops of the Zhou Kingdom to break up and retreat. Although they were defeated in the end, they did not lose too much. It was just that they did not have a leader, so it was a little messy.
Now that Pang Yuande had reunited the defeated army, they were a force to be reckoned with.
Once Pang Yuande left, Han Jiangli could only go to the Central Plains with Su Xin to form an alliance to fight against the Golden Horde Kingdom.
Ji Xuanyuan did not say who would be the leader when he went to ask Buddhism to take action, but when he went to the Central Plains to form an alliance, it would be led by Su Xin. Han Jiangli did not dare to provoke Su Xin halfway. He was also afraid that Su Xin would attack him halfway.
Although the Seven Gangs were all in the Central Plains, they were scattered across several roads in the Central Plains. Most of them were surrounded by the people of the Golden Horde Kingdom. There were only occasional conflicts between the two sides, but they had not officially started fighting yet. Only the Heroes' Club was the furthest away from the Golden Horde Kingdom, but many of their disciples took the initiative to come to the front line to provide support.
If Su Xin wanted to form an alliance, he had to gather them all together. Therefore, Su Xin directly chose Jianghuai Road as the place for the alliance.
Jianghuai Road was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Now, like Jiangnan Road and other places, it had not been invaded by the flames of war.
Moreover, Jianghuai Road did not have a top force like the Xiao Family, so it was not easy to be disturbed. Therefore, Su Xin decided to set the place for the alliance in Jianghuai Road.
The chief of detectives of Jianghuai Road was Su Xin's former subordinate. Although his strength was a little weaker, he was an old subordinate of Su Xin. His loyalty was beyond doubt.
Here, Succi had long received the news. As soon as Su Xin arrived at Jianghuai Road, he directly came out to welcome him.
"Greetings, Sir!"
Succi brought dozens of deputy chief of detectives and state chief of detectives of Jianghuai Road to stand at the door to welcome Su Xin. Everyone looked excited.
Succi was excited because after such a long time, he finally saw his old superior, who was already famous in Jianghu, and also his biggest backer.
And the other constables of Jianghuai Road's Six Fan School were purely excited because they could see Su Xin.
With Su Xin's current strength and status in the imperial court, he was basically a legendary figure.
