Chapter 557 The person has been secured. I, the King of Xiliang, said so!
In just the past twelve hours, two things happened that shocked the world.

Moreover, these two things are deeply connected with the Buddhist tradition.

The first thing was naturally that Luohan Miaoxin under the command of King Xiliang broke through the capital of the Yulong Dynasty overnight, and used it as bait to destroy the large armies of Dongyin Kingdom and Beihan Kingdom.

The price paid was that the capital of the Yulong Dynasty was reduced to ruins, and civilians suffered heavy casualties.

The act was so brutal that it aroused condemnation from the remaining forces.

However, despite the condemnation, no force took any action.

After all, although this fire did not cause serious damage to the Dongyin and Beihan kingdoms, the losses in manpower, food and supplies were real.

This was part of the war and therefore did not cause much trouble in terms of orthodoxy.

The real trouble is that Jingyuan, a follower of the Buddhist tradition, disregards the unspoken rules and consensus and wants to capture the King of Beihan with his own strength.

What’s even more terrible is that he was actually captured by the other party, which directly disturbed the hornet’s nest of Confucianism.

A large number of Confucianists flocked to the scene, not only wanting to kill Jingyuan, but also intending to take back the King of Beihan.

Not only that, people from the Taoist school also joined in the action, as they also wanted the King of Beihan.

As long as it falls into their hands, the Dongyin Kingdom will be able to directly annex the Beihan Kingdom.

Only within the Buddhist tradition there is endless debate.

Some said they should save him, while others said it was Jingyuan’s fault.

Jingyuan brought the King of Beihan all the way to the capital of Xiliang. During the journey, the cities they passed through were all massively destroyed due to fighting, which completely affected their support for the dragon this time.

That is why the Confucianists and Taoists acted so decisively, while those who belong to the Buddhist tradition were hesitant.

Lian Miaoxin remained silent and did not express any opinion after learning this information.

Because this matter must not be involved with him, otherwise even if I achieve the status of an Arhat, I will not be able to extricate myself from it.

On the other side, Qi Sui’an also got the news. He was silent for a while and said, “Since Master Jingyuan did this for my Xiliang Kingdom, then my Xiliang Kingdom must give him an explanation no matter what.”

As soon as he said this, Miao Yu, who was standing beside him, immediately spoke up to persuade him, “No!”

“I know that the king is devoted to Buddhism, but this matter is Jingyuan’s fault. Once Jingyuan is accepted, the Confucian and Taoist schools will no longer care about the consensus of fighting for the dragon.”

“Your Majesty has seen the power of the Taoism. It only takes one True Lord or Tribute Scholar to easily destroy the capital.”

In Miaoyu’s opinion, Jingyuan was so unwise and he must bear the consequences himself.

Otherwise, it would undermine their plan to support the dragon, and affect the promotion of many people. Therefore, the top leaders of the Buddhist orthodoxy basically did not express any opinions.

“Master Miao Yu is right, but I have made up my mind.” Qi Sui’an naturally feared that the world would not be in chaos.

Isn’t it just to make the three sects ignore the consensus that he secretly manipulates everything?

Otherwise, why would he do these things?
“I can have my current position thanks to the help of the Buddhists. Now is the time to repay the Buddhists.” Qi Sui’an said sincerely.

After listening to this, Miaoyu didn’t know what to say for a moment.

This is a way of repaying a favor. If I refuse, it will be a big trouble if it gets out.

But if Qi Sui’an is not stopped, Jingyuan may not be saved and it may cause bigger problems.

“Then, my king, how do you plan to help Jingyuan?” Miao Yu could only ask this.

Upon hearing this, Qi Sui’an said, “I remember that Master Jingyuan is holding the King of Beihan hostage and is heading towards the capital of Xiliang.”

“Yes, my king. If Jingyuan hadn’t died on the road, he would have arrived before dusk at the latest.” Miao Yu did not hide it.

“Okay, spread the news. Master Jingyuan is coming to my Xiliang capital. I will definitely go to greet him.”

“Let everyone go with me, and impose martial law in the capital. I don’t believe that we can’t protect him.” Qi Sui’an said confidently.

We can do without the King of Beihan, but Jingyuan must not die.

If he survived, the struggle among the three sects would turn into a more terrifying struggle.

By then, it will be a full-scale fight.

For Qi Sui’an, it was a clear-cut internal war.

“Your Majesty, you must think carefully. If you save Jingyuan alone, your path to becoming the ruler of the world will probably be full of twists and turns.”

“It’s not even impossible to be replaced by someone else in the future.” Miao Yu sighed and spoke.

Qi Sui’an smiled and said, “As the saying goes, if you can’t even clean your own house, how can you clean up the world?”

“I can’t even protect one loyal person. How can I protect the whole world even if I win it in the future?”

Having said that, Miaoyu also understood that this fight for the dragon might get out of control.

“I wonder if Master Miaoyu can invite a Bodhisattva to take charge?” Qi Sui’an still felt that the matter was not big enough and wanted to involve the higher-ups of the Taoist school.

As long as the Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist orthodoxy enter the game, the Confucian state figures and the Taoist heavenly masters will inevitably be forced to join in.

Miao Yu must have understood that he couldn’t get involved any further, and even he, an Arhat, wanted to avoid it.

But it would have been better if Qi Suian didn’t say it, because if he did, he would have to do it.

It was not because he had to listen to Qi Sui’an, but because even an outsider like Qi Sui’an was so helpful to the people of their Buddhist tradition.

On the contrary, they, the own people, watched coldly as their fellow Daoists were killed by the enemies of the Dao, so is unity still needed? Jingyuan sacrificed his life for you, but you want to sell out the other party because you are in trouble.

Then, the Confucian and Taoist traditions will take advantage of this opportunity. Even if they cannot permanently split the Buddhist tradition, they will at least cause various cracks to appear within the Buddhist tradition.

“This matter is rather difficult. I need to ask for instructions.” Miao Yu could only bite the bullet and say it.

In fact, he knew that it was impossible to invite anyone, so he would just have to take the blame.

“It doesn’t matter. It would be best if we can invite him to show the power of our Buddhist tradition. If we can’t invite him, it won’t be difficult for my Xiliang country to keep a meritorious person.” Qi Sui’an said confidently.

However, these words are no less than putting Miaoyu and the Buddhist orthodoxy on the fire.

It sounds nice, but in fact it is killing people and destroying their hearts.

I have a kingdom composed entirely of mortals, and I haven’t even unified the world, but I can still keep outsiders out.

As a result, you, the people of the Taoist tradition with a profound heritage, sold out your own people to the enemies of the Taoist tradition, and watched them die before your eyes.

It is possible to tell who has betrayed the Buddhist orthodoxy.

By then, the split between the upper and lower parts is inevitable.

The person who said this was Qi Sui’an. If it were someone else who had no power or influence, the Buddhist orthodoxy could easily cover his mouth.

If the news can’t be spread, nothing you say will help.

But they couldn’t cover Qi Suian’s mouth, because they really couldn’t.

Miao Yu couldn’t tell at this moment whether Qi Sui’an was sincere in what he said or was just trying to drag the Bodhisattva into the battle.

“Don’t worry, my king. I will try my best.” Miao Yu could only express that he had tried his best at this time.

In the Buddhist tradition, he is just an arhat, how can he command the Bodhisattva?

If he said he didn’t care, then he didn’t care. What else could he do? There was no way to force it, so he could only convey Qi Sui’an’s words to the Bodhisattva without missing a word.

“Then please wait for a moment, Your Majesty. I will go and ask the Bodhisattva for orders immediately.” Miao Yu didn’t dare to stay any longer. Who knew what Qi Sui’an would say next.

There were too many pots, and he was almost unable to breathe.

If I have to carry a few more, I definitely won’t be able to handle it.

After saying that, Miao Yu hurried away without waiting for Qi Suian to say anything.

Qi Sui’an also smiled when he saw this. No one can stop the coming of a full-scale war of Taoism, he said!

Then his eyes fell on his own military preparations. This time, not only heroic soldiers were included in the count, but also some heroic generals.

These were obviously the casualties that occurred when Miaoxin attacked the capital of the Yulong Kingdom and fought against the Dongyin and Beihan countries.

However, there is still a big gap to the sixth realm. Although the south has been pacified, there is still a gap to control half of the country.

It doesn’t mean that the battle is over once it has been conquered. We must also actually control the territory in the south before it can be truly incorporated into the territory of Xiliang Kingdom.

Otherwise, at most it can only be considered as occupying half of the territory, which is impossible to achieve the breakthrough required.

In addition, a sufficient number of heroic spirits is required as a prerequisite for a breakthrough.

There are enough heroic soldiers, but not enough heroic generals.

This made Qi Sui’an think about how to kill more of the ambitious people under his command.

If he only had ambition, he would definitely be ambitious but fragile, but he also has abilities, so it is a bit difficult to kill him.

Especially now that we are in high positions, it is not so easy to die.

Through data observation and deduction, Qi Sui’an was able to determine that after reaching the sixth realm, one could achieve qualitative transformation from group power to individual power.

By then, Qi Sui’an might not have to hide anymore, but he probably couldn’t hide his situation anymore.

It will definitely attract the attention of saints, Buddhas, and gods.

It is not impossible that the three masters of the Taoist sects will take action personally at that time.

If possible, Qi Sui’an plans to unify the world first, then break through to the sixth realm, and then jump directly to the seventh realm.

Directly surpass the strength of the master of the Taoist school, so that you can protect yourself.

Otherwise, breaking through one realm at a time would not only be inefficient, but he would also have to do it himself. Otherwise, this incarnation of a survivor alone would not be able to stop the Lord of the Tao.

The birth of the fourth Taoist sect is the absolute enemy of the masters of these three Taoist sects.

No rules or consensus can bind the three masters of the Taoist traditions. The rules are set by others, and the consensus is just a word from the other party.

He is a chess player. Whether or not you follow the rules of the game is up to him.

Even the so-called dispute over supporting the dragon and orthodoxy can be easily changed by these three masters of orthodoxy.

So don’t use the rules set by the enemy to deal with the enemy, because they can really ignore these rules.

Even with a little effort, the rules can be changed to work in your favor.

The other party has strong strength, which is the basis for maintaining the rules.
