Special War God

Chapter 172 Worry and Hesitation

Wu Longhai sighed: "How dare they go deep into my Donggu territory? How audacious!"

This incident shocked Wu Longhai. You know, there has always been a bad relationship between the Western Saint Church and the Eastern Ancient Territory. It is said that there are often conflicts on the border between the two sides, and even small-scale battles. If Wu Longhai dared to step into the territory of the Western Saint Church, he would undoubtedly be courting death. However, the two ancient Buddhas of the Western Saint Church dared to openly go deep into the hinterland of the Eastern Ancient Territory, simply ignoring the many Hedao practitioners in the Eastern Ancient Territory.

Wu Longhai announced in a low voice: "Wen Yulou, Lang Zhengfeng, Tan Kuanfu, Xiang Tianyu!"

He called out the names of four people, and Xiang Tianyu hurried forward, standing side by side with Wen Yulou and the other two, and responded in unison.

Wu Longhai said: "The four of you will leave for the four great kingdoms immediately. Please ask the kings of each country to quickly meet me in Xiulan City, and go together to see the arrogant 'Yutian' and 'Zhenzhuo'!"

After receiving the order, the four of them had a brief discussion outside the Golden Luan Palace and then took off.

At such a critical moment, Wu Longhai sent four cultivators in the Guixu Realm as messengers without hesitation. After all, those in the Guixu Realm can fly in the air and their efficiency is far superior to others.

After the four of them left, Wu Longhai looked at the silent ministers and sneered, "Aren't you all vying to be the governor? Now I'll give you a chance. Whoever is willing to protect the territory for me will be given the position of governor!"

The whole place was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to speak, for fear of being called out by Wu Longhai.

In their eyes, the former Baiguo Kyushu has now become a hot potato.

Why did the five countries dare to invade the White Country on a large scale before?

Isn’t it just because the Bai Kingdom relies on the fact that there is no supreme being in the Hedao realm to protect it?

Now that the situation has reversed and there are two "ancient Buddhas" sitting in the other party's home, who would dare to act rashly?

If there really is a dispute between the Ancient Buddha and He Dao, they would just be sending themselves to death if they go up, and they would not be able to bear any bumps and bruises.

Seeing that no one among the ministers responded, Wu Longhai sneered and turned away.

He was also unhappy in his heart. He never thought that the situation in the Bai Country would be so repetitive. The situation was still developing into a more complicated one, and the possibility of getting out of control was increasing.

After Wu Longhai left, the ministers stopped arguing over the position of governor.

The news in the court spread quickly, and officials and people from all over the country knew about the changes in the Bai Kingdom.

The common people could not help but talk about it. They did not understand the concepts of "Western Holy Religion", "ancient Buddha" and "Harmony with Tao". They only knew that if someone provoked them, they should fight back.

Of course, there are also well-informed wise men who will explain what the "Western Holy Religion" is, how powerful it is, and why it cannot be easily confronted.

The country was in a state of chaos, with all kinds of discussions heard everywhere.

Just then, someone mentioned the glorious achievements of the 13th Legion of the Chifang Army in the Bai Kingdom, and soon the storytellers were mobilized to tell those legendary stories.

The domestic public opinion was somewhat depressed at first, and people believed that Wu State could not compete with Xishengjiao or Maitreyajiao...

Now, the situation has reversed. It is said that the Bai Kingdom has long been controlled by Maitreya. The conflict with the Bai Kingdom is actually a holy war against Maitreya. In particular, the Thirteenth Army's Instructor Xia Zhongnan once fought a shocking duel with the evil spirit of Maitreya in front of the two armies, and finally succeeded in killing the evil spirit.

Therefore, the status of the Thirteenth Army of the Chifang Army and even the entire Chifang Army has risen sharply in the hearts of the people of Wu State, and they are revered like gods.

Soon after, new rumors spread. All the armies called this unit "divine soldiers", and the people specifically referred to the Thirteenth Army of the Chifang Army as the sacred army.

Of course, those cultivators paid no attention to what ordinary people talked about, and regarded it as the nonsense of ignorant people.

In Lanxiu City, Wen Yulou had been gone for more than ten days and there had been no news since then. Gan Kunshan was on pins and needles, feeling like his days were passing years, trapped in the city lord's mansion.

Without the order from Wen Yulou or the king, he dared not move at all. However, seeing that half of the one-month deadline set by Yutian Ancient Buddha had passed, he was extremely anxious.

There are only a little over ten days left. Even if the army wants to evacuate, the time is far from enough for it to safely withdraw from the territory of the White Country.

But he did not dare to issue a retreat order without authorization. In case Wen Yulou received an order to fight a desperate battle with Maitreya Sect, his early deployment might be seen as shaking the morale of the army.

Just when he was feeling uneasy, a shadow appeared silently in the hall, shocking Gan Kunshan.

Looking up, the person who came was Wu Longhai. Gan Kunshan was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He hurried forward to salute: "Lord, you are finally here! I was really worried!"

Wu Longhai glanced at him and said calmly: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Gan Kunshan opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

He just spoke out of turn and revealed his true feelings, but facing Wu Longhai's question, he realized that any answer might be inappropriate.

He secretly warned himself: "Serving the king is like serving a tiger. You must be calm! Calm!"

Fortunately, Wu Longhai did not pursue the matter, but only ordered: "Tell the soldiers to strengthen their protection and not be affected by the war."

Gan Kunshan's heart tightened, and he wanted to ask if they really wanted to go to war, but he suppressed the impulse in time and replied: "I will follow the instructions of the king!"

The king's instructions only need to be followed, and questioning would only be foolish. He quickly went out and found a few low-ranking generals and ordered: "The king's order, let everyone strengthen their protection and avoid the war!"

Upon hearing this, the generals looked solemn and immediately dispersed to convey the order.

The army immediately took action, some gathered into a defensive formation, and those who could not form a formation dispersed into small groups and sought cover to hide.

Noticing these changes, Liu Dabazi, who had been staying in the rental compound, felt a little uneasy and asked, "Should we find a place to hide as well?"

Xia Zhongnan smiled and said, "Didn't I say that this war would not really break out?"

Liu Dabazi said in a deep voice: "In the fantasy world, we must guard against the unknown. The moods of the powerful masters are unpredictable and beyond our control. If someone is impulsive and is affected by the war, won't they be innocent victims?"

Xia Zhongnan responded: "General, have you forgotten that you are already a cultivator in the Lingxu realm? Although you haven't reached the Hedao realm, if you are not being targeted by him, it is not a problem for you to resist some of his remaining power."

Hearing this, Liu Dabazi also laughed out loud: "Yes, now that I have been promoted to a high-level cultivator, how could I be afraid of the aftermath of a battle between powerful Hedao masters? Could it be that I have advanced too quickly and have not yet forged the dignity of a high-level cultivator?"

Gu Xiuzhang's mouth curled up slightly, while Xia Zhongnan joked: "Perhaps the general's prestige needs to be improved! The general is only a small general commanding a thousand troops at the moment. If he had a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, his momentum would be very different."

Tu Shan Fang'er couldn't help but ask: "General, why do you still underestimate yourself? With my brother planning for you, how can you not be able to take the position of governor?"

Liu Dabazi replied seriously: "Fang'er, you don't understand. You haven't been in my current situation, so you don't know the mentality of worrying and losing. When you face the same situation one day, you will understand."

Three days after Wu Longhai arrived in Lanxiu City, Wen Yulou, Lang Zhengfeng, Tan Kuanfu and Xiang Tianyu returned one after another with the kings of the four major countries. Each king was accompanied by several followers in the virtual realm.

Everyone gathered and no one stayed for long. More than 20 people headed towards Maitreya City together.

Maitreya City was visible from afar, and the people in the city also noticed their arrival. A transparent barrier appeared around Maitreya City, covering it like a barrier.

The kings of the five kingdoms looked at this scene in amazement. It seemed that the Western Territory Church had built a huge magic circle here, making Maitreya City indestructible, like a steel fortress.

With the addition of the two "ancient Buddhas" guarding the city, even with a huge team of five Hedao realm cultivators and twenty Xu realm cultivators, it became extremely difficult to capture Maitreya City.

The monarchs of the five countries finally realized that the final warning issued by the so-called "Yutian Ancient Buddha" to evacuate the former Bai Kingdom's territory was just a bluff and was not really intended to force the five major countries to a decisive battle.

The monarchs of the five countries would never agree to the ultimatum of "Yutian Ancient Buddha". If they agreed, they would not only lose the land of thirty-eight states, but also become the laughing stock of the world.

Therefore, the monarchs of the five great countries put aside all their affairs and rushed to face the "Yutian Ancient Buddha" and the "Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha" face to face, wanting to see what confidence they had to dare to bully all living beings like this...

Unexpectedly, this place turned out to be the Maitreya City that looked like the back shell of a giant turtle. The "Xuantian Ancient Buddha" and "Chiran Ancient Buddha" of the Western religion did not come out to greet them, which showed that they were also afraid of the power of the five kingdoms' leaders joining forces.

They felt somewhat regretful in their hearts. It was their cowardice at the time that gave the Western Church the opportunity to build a fortress in the heart of the Eastern Ancient Domain, which became a thorn in the hearts of the five nations.

The rulers of the five nations looked at the towering Maitreya City before them, and they were all silent for a moment, even their interest in reprimanding disappeared without a trace.

In Maitreya City, two figures rose into the air. They were the "Xuantian Ancient Buddha" and the "Mahayana Maitreya" Zhu Fasheng. However, the "Chiran Ancient Buddha" who had appeared in the army was nowhere to be seen. It was likely that he was personally presiding over the mysterious formation in the city.

The "Xuantian Ancient Buddha" first chanted a Buddhist name: "Amitabha." Then he said: "It turns out that the five kings have come to Maitreya City. Please come into the city and have a chat!"

As he spoke, he generously opened a corner of the formation barrier for everyone to enter.

The rulers of the five nations did not move. Even the lowest-level practitioners knew the principle of "do not enter other formations lightly". How could they rashly take risks?

The Great Khan Qili shouted angrily: "'Xuantian', didn't you claim that you would drive our Wu army out of the former Bai territory within a month? Why are you hiding in the city now, like a tortoise seeking refuge?"

"Ancient Xuantian Buddha" smiled and said, "It's just a little misunderstanding. I didn't know that my disciple had signed an alliance with the kings until I arrived at Maitreya City. There will be no fighting! The five kings have come from afar, Xuantian should do his best to be a good host and let you experience the customs and culture of the Western religion!"

The rulers of the five nations were extremely upset. They had mobilized their troops so far, but were simply brushed off with a phrase "just a misunderstanding". They were not yet able to really attack Mile City. How could they not be frustrated?

They didn't want to stay here for long, so Zhongsun Chunye said loudly, "Since it's just a misunderstanding, forget it, goodbye!"

He turned around first and led his men to fly towards the barbarian country. The other kings also led their troops away without saying a word.
