Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

In every hegemonic force in Cangzhou, Saint King level experts are few and far between, and they rarely make a move.

Back then, in front of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Jiang Hongye made a move and directly killed eighteen Holy Kings.

All the dominant forces, including the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions and the demonic sects of the Southern Regions, lost a Saint King as a result, causing them great distress.

Now, in this crucial battle between Buddha and Demon, both sides' Saint King powerhouses have arrived.

Originally, the Buddhist sect had eight more members than the demonic sect, but the demonic sect paid a huge price to invite seven holy kings, reducing the difference to just one.

Thus, the Western Region Buddhist sect, which originally proclaimed to slay demons and restore a bright and clear world, was abandoned.

After discovering that the Demonic Sect had reinforcements and its overall strength was no less than their own, they chickened out.

They only wanted to strike a blow against the evil cult, not to suffer mutual destruction with it.

now.

Xu Luo, who was preparing to leave from the Xu family home, looked rather grim.

"What's wrong, Brother Luo?" Xu Chen asked.

Xu Luo sighed, "Elder Wang is dead."

He planted a life-and-death seal, similar to a demonic seed, inside Elder Wang's body, and also left a wisp of his primordial spirit. He knew about Elder Wang's death the moment he died.

This made him feel extremely regretful, after all, that was a True Saint Realm expert, who could be used in many ways in the future, and it was such a pity that he was gone just like that.

In addition, we'll need Elder Wang's help with this plan.

With Elder Wang leading the way, they could not only enter the Netherworld Sect without hindrance, but also plunder its treasures.

Xu Chen asked in astonishment, "Plans really do change. Are we still going to the Southern Region?"

Xu Luo pondered for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

"There are too many unstable factors, I'm not going."

Even if all the Saint Realm experts of the Netherworld Sect leave, there are still many Demon Cultivators at the Dharma Aspect Integration Realm within the sect.

It's not enough for Xu Qingzhou to lead the two of them alone.

While it's true that you can't catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den, the tiger parents are still at home. Going there would be like delivering food to the tigers.

Xu Luo had actually considered this outcome before, but he had always held onto a sliver of hope.

They only gave up after confirming that Elder Wang was dead.

"What a great opportunity, what a pity," Xu Chen murmured.

He could only blame himself for being too weak, not even having the chance to take advantage of the situation. This wasn't the first time Xu Chen had experienced something like this.

Xu Qingzhou comforted him, "That's just how reality is. Things won't always go according to our plan. Although we didn't manage to make a fortune from the Netherworld Sect, destroying the Tianhua Temple and taking its wealth for ourselves is still a small profit."

After Elder Wang destroyed Tianhua Temple, he gave all his spoils to Xu Luo, who then gave them to Xu Qingzhou, instructing him to make arrangements based on his family's circumstances.

This can be considered Xu Luo's biggest gain from exposing the Demonic Cult's plan.

Xu Chen looked towards the southern region, "I wonder if the Buddhist sect and the demonic sect have started fighting yet."

He really wanted to see the scene, to witness the devastating defeat of the Xu family's enemies.

However, those involved in the battle were all Saint Realm experts, so let alone them, even Xu Qingzhou didn't dare to go over and watch the excitement.

Xu Luo said with certainty, "They will definitely fight."

Xu Chen subconsciously asked, "Why? If the Demonic Sect calls for reinforcements, the Buddhist sect might give up."

Xu Luo slowly explained, "Even if the Demonic Sect has reinforcements, we will still fight, because if we give up now, it will be the Buddhist sect that loses face."

"After all, they went there with great fanfare, vowing to severely punish the Demonic Sect, but they left without doing anything. If this gets out, how will they survive in Cangzhou in the future, and how will they promote Buddhism and attract believers?"

"However, in the end, there probably won't be any results."

Xu Chen nodded as if he understood.

Just as Xu Luo said, in the end, the Buddhist sect and the demonic sect still fought, and the Buddhist sect struck first.

But they only fought for a few hours before stopping without any casualties. After all, they didn't even bring out any sacred weapons; it was like they were just putting on a show.

Both sides suffered some losses in this outcome, but both can accept it.

The Buddhist sect raised its banner high but then gently lowered it, which was a bit embarrassing, but it was still much better than leaving without a fight at all.

Although the Demonic Sect escaped a calamity, they paid a heavy price to ask the seven Holy Kings for help, which pained them deeply.

This battle between Buddha and demon was all bark and no bite, and ended abruptly.

Everyone should go about their business.

Those forces that sent True Saint-level experts to help after their younger, talented prodigies died in the Demonic Sect's plan were in a somewhat awkward position.

Not only did they make a wasted trip and gain nothing, but their descendants also died in vain.

However, they dared not utter any complaints against either side, since they could not afford to offend either the Buddhist sect or the demonic sect.

All the major powers in Cangzhou are extremely concerned about this matter, believing that this great battle may even affect the overall situation of Cangzhou.

After all, this involves a major war between several dominant forces, specifically the Western Regions and the Southern Regions.

I never expected it to end like this.

"I thought it would end like the ancient war between Buddha and demon, with the demonic sect suffering a crushing defeat. What a pity."

"The Buddhist sect is nothing special. They talk about justice, but in reality, they're all about self-interest. When they see they can't win, they just give up. What happened to their promise to slay demons and save the world?"

"I wonder which forces the seven Holy Kings invited by the Demonic Sect come from?"

"There are rumors that they come from the Holy City and the royal family of the Northern Region."

"This time, the Buddhist sect was clearly careless. They thought they had it in the bag and didn't make any preparations. If they had also asked for help, the Buddhist sect would have won in the end."

The ancient war between Buddhism and demons lasted for a long time, and both the Buddhist sect and the demonic sect had to call for reinforcements during the battle.

The Great Zhou Dynasty also got involved, ultimately suffering heavy losses that undermined its foundations and foreshadowed its eventual demise.

This is also why Jiang Hongye went to the Western Regions after she left.

The most disappointed person about this battle between Buddha and demon is Xu Luo, the instigator.

Although the Xu family also made some gains, it was still far from the huge profits he had anticipated.

According to his plan, both the Buddhist sect and the demonic sect should suffer some casualties, with the Buddhist sect achieving a Pyrrhic victory.

Led by Elder Wang, the three of them entered the Netherworld Sect and plundered its treasures.

Unfortunately, Elder Wang was discovered by the leader of the Netherworld Sect and died.

Even after the demonic sect called for reinforcements, the two sides did not engage in a major battle.

As Xu Chen said, plans can't keep up with changes.

However, Xu Luo was not discouraged. If this time didn't work, he would try next time. Sooner or later, he would teach all of the Xu family's enemies a lesson.
