Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess Chapter 3545: 3545: Diplomacy Before Force
Previously on Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess...
Jin Shengming stared at Bujie in stunned silence, clearly rattled.
No wonder; the revelation was utterly astonishing!
Bujie shook his head with assurance and declared, “Brother Yan, as I’ve told you, I’m the Child of Destiny, fated for greatness ahead!”
“Tch!”
Yan Juefeng rolled his eyes. “Bragging as always—you’re nothing but a freak, right?”
“Hahaha…”
Ning Jianfeng burst into loud laughter, “Brother Yan, that’s precisely what crossed my mind; this fellow’s a total freak!”
“Scram! You two are the true freaks!”
Bujie flipped the middle finger at Yan Juefeng and Ning Jianfeng.
Yang Luo clasped his hands in respect and pleaded, “I beseech all of you to assist with this rescue effort!”
Mo Qianya clasped his hands too and urged, “Please extend your aid to our Ancient Demon Sacred Land!
Should we save my daughter Mo Xi, our Ancient Demon Sacred Land will forever be in your debt!”
“Little Luo, we’d already decided we’re in to help!”
“Brother Qianya, don’t worry—we’ll surely lend our strength!”
“We stand together, so mutual support is only right!”
All those gathered voiced their commitment to join the cause.
Li Qiushui added, “You’ve all aided Yaochi Holy Land this time, setting aside old enmities to end our peril!
Yaochi Holy Land stands ready to help you as well!”
Yang Luo grinned and replied, “Yaochi Holy Land’s support boosts our odds of freeing Aunt Mo Xi tremendously!”
Right then.
Li Wanjun knitted his brows and warned, “Rescuing her from Xumi Sacred Land won’t be straightforward!
For one, Xumi Sacred Land boasts ancient roots and solid might, protected by Immortal Venerable experts and even Immortal King powerhouses.
For another, every Buddhist Path faction across West Desert Lingzhou reveres Xumi Sacred Land and obeys its orders.
Storming Xumi Sacred Land would draw opposition from all those Buddhist Path forces.
Most of them couldn’t truly block us,
yet seven key Buddhist Path factions, though weaker than Xumi Sacred Land, possess profound foundations and formidable power, reportedly shielded by Immortal Venerable experts.
These seven act as Xumi Sacred Land’s guardians; bypassing them marks the initial hurdle to infiltrating Xumi Sacred Land.”
“What do they call these seven major Buddhist Path forces?”
Yang Luo inquired.
Li Wanjun answered, “Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, Golden Buddha Hall, Reclining Buddha Sect, Lantuo Temple, Ci Guang Temple, Guiyuan Temple, and Seven Treasures Buddha Sect.”
“Damn!”
Bujie’s lips twitched as he exclaimed, “Never thought Xumi Sacred Land had seven protectors, each with Immortal Venerable guardians too?!”
Xu Ying creased her brow and noted, “Rescuing Aunt Mo Xi will indeed prove challenging!”
Song Zhixin suggested, “Why not settle this peacefully?
Couldn’t we talk it out with Xumi Sacred Land and convince them to free Aunt Mo Xi?”
Mo Qianya let out a sigh and replied, “Had negotiation been viable, we’d have tried ages ago—we wouldn’t delay till now!”
“Hmph!”
Mo Fengtian snorted disdainfully, “Xumi Sacred Land’s always been arrogant and aloof; reasoning with them is out of the question!”
Flame Emperor Luange proposed, “What about enlisting the elders from Wa Palace, Jiuli Demon Palace, Yaochi Holy Land, Futu Holy Hall, and Yuhua Immortal Country?”
Mo Qianya clenched his teeth and said, “Tough luck; those Xumi Sacred Land old monks are impossibly obstinate—no chance they’d parley with us!
Besides, they’ve long believed my daughter Mo Xi bewitched Li Wenchan, disrupting his cultivation path!
They see it as Xumi Sacred Land’s darkest shame and harbor intense hatred for our Ancient Demon Sacred Land!”
Yang Luo mulled it over briefly before stating, “Jiuzhou Immortal Domain faces chaos now; settling via talks could prevent a huge clash!
The domain can’t endure further infighting—we must band together against foes from outside!
Thus, we’ve got to attempt it no matter what!”
“This…”
Mo Qianya shook his head with a sigh, “Little Luo, if you’re set on trying, then go ahead!
Just temper your expectations; I’m certain Xumi Sacred Land won’t entertain negotiations!”
Yang Luo’s eyes sharpened as he affirmed, “Diplomacy first, force if needed!
We show respect upfront; if they agree to talk, perfect!
Refuse, and they can’t fault us for rudeness!”
“Alright!”
“Let’s proceed!”
All present nodded firmly in agreement.
Li Wanjun spoke solemnly, “Little Friend Yang, should Xumi Sacred Land reject talks, taking it down will be no simple task!
Everyone knows full well that Xumi Sacred Land is protected by Immortal King-level powerhouses!)
Elder Wan Jun, don't we possess Immortal King-level experts too?
Bujie hurriedly inquired.
Yang Luo, Xu Ying, and the rest turned their eyes toward Li Wanjun and his companions.
After all, their alliance now includes six mighty powers: Wa Palace, Jiuli Demon Palace, Ancient Demon Sacred Land, Yuhua Immortal Country, Futu Holy Hall, and Yaochi Holy Land.
Li Wanjun explained, The Grand Elder from our Jiuli Demon Palace reached the early-stage Immortal King realm a year back and has remained in seclusion, aiming for a higher breakthrough.
Fu Jiuyuan added, Our Wa Palace's Grand Elder stepped into the early-stage Immortal King realm two years prior and stays in closed-door cultivation at present.
The elders from Ancient Demon Sacred Land, Yuhua Immortal Country, Futu Holy Hall, and Yaochi Holy Land shook their heads, showing that none of these four powers currently hold Immortal King-level experts.
Bujie exclaimed with thrill, With two Immortal King-level experts on our side, Xumi Sacred Land holds no terror for us!
Li Wanjun creased her brow, The crucial point is that Xumi Sacred Land boasts two Immortal King-level experts as well!
What?!
Bujie stood stunned in an instant, Xumi Sacred Land possesses two Immortal King-level experts too?!
Is Xumi Sacred Land truly so formidable?!
Yang Luo, Xu Ying, and others saw their faces shift dramatically, utterly shocked!
Over the years of their adventures in Jiuzhou Immortal Domain, not once had they crossed paths with an Immortal King-level expert.
Yet astonishingly, Xumi Sacred Land alone commands two such powerhouses!
Mo Fengtian knitted his brows and affirmed, That's right, Xumi Sacred Land is defended by two Immortal King-level experts!
This very fact has kept our Ancient Demon Sacred Land from subduing Xumi Sacred Land for so many years!
Fu Jiuyuan noted, The main reason lies in how Buddhist cultivation diverges from Taoist paths; Buddhists harness the faith power of countless beings, focusing on profound enlightenment!
Upon achieving enlightenment, their cultivation surges forward rapidly!
I get it now…
Yang Luo and his group nodded, grasping the truth at last.
They possessed some knowledge of Buddhist cultivation methods, which truly set them apart from Taoist ways.
Crucially, West Desert Lingzhou teems entirely with Buddhist forces, brimming with devotees and vast faith power, ideal for Buddhist enlightenment and growth.
Li Wanjun declared, Hence, reaching an agreement through talks would be ideal!
Should talks fail utterly, then conflict becomes unavoidable!
Yang Luo agreed with a nod, We'll wait and see Xumi Sacred Land's reply to us!
All present nodded in unison, then delved into planning their next moves.
