Chapter 622: Chapter 507 - A Word Decides Life and Death _1

Jinping Dharma King was not surprised to see Anguo Dharma King arrive.

Among the twelve Dharma Kings of Qinghai-Tibet, only the Anguo Temple of Anguo Dharma King is directly under the edge of Jin’s troops.

Ganzi is a key town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, bordering Sichuan, closely linked to each other and deeply influenced by the Great Jin Dynasty.

His original stance should have leant towards the powerful Anburo Clan that aspired for independence, but due to considerations of the Great Jin Dynasty, he did not dare to make his stance clear.

Therefore, the Anguo Temple still maintains a general neutrality on the surface, with no clear preference.

However, this Anguo Dharma King is not close to him, Jinping, the leader of the neutral pact.

Moreover, according to Jinping Dharma King’s knowledge, Anguo Temple secretly provides certain funds and supplies for the Anburo Clan and Meng Wu people.

This is a bet, this Dharma King probably anticipates the lord of Anburo to dominate Qinghai-Tibet, or the return of the Meng Wu people.

Therefore, it is natural for him to lean towards the Jin Dynasty under the peerless edge of Li Xuan today.

Since the Yangtang Divine Saber can penetrate into the ’Folun Temple’ and kill the ’Nangebatsangbu’, the seventh Hujiao Dharma King, it naturally has the ability to flatten the Anguo Temple as well.

All the champion Marquis needs to do today is to retreat from Dege City and the destruction of the Anguo Temple will be a piece of cake.

However, his arrival not only completely crushed the hopes of ’Duogansi Khan’ Baimalamu but also plunged the hearts of ’Prince Anburo’ Deji Yangzong and the ’Jinggang Dharma King’ into the abyss.

"Labazhuoma!" Duogansi Khan Baimalamu shouted his legitimate son’s name with despair in his heart, but held his long saber tightly again, looking at Li Xuan and Jinping Dharma King with blood-red eyes.

He now has to consider escaping from here, and in the upcoming battle for the heavenly level, his legitimate son Labazhuoma will only be a burden.

He hoped that his son could withdraw first to preserve hope for their clan.

Li Xuan said in a calm tone, "There’s no need to rush into a fight. Today, I promised Jinping Dharma King that I would try to avoid strife."

He looked at the dumbstruck ’Duogansi Khan’, with the same blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent: "Now you have two choices, the first is to escape from here, and even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, exhaust the power of my Jin Dynasty, I will exterminate you and your son!

The second is to die here, to account for the five hundred Jin people."

Duogansi Khan couldn’t help but laugh coldly, thinking what naive words this man was speaking?

Although he has been forced into an impasse at this point, how could he put down his weapons and surrender without a fight?

Even if the power of the opponent’s Yangtang Divine Saber is indeed extremely terrifying, even if the future champion Marquis will inevitably be an influential figure like Shaobao Yu Jie, there’s no reason for him to willingly die here.

But next, he saw Li Xuan point a finger at ’Jinggang Dharma King’: "Can you see that guy? Since this Dharma King no longer regards himself as a Jin subject, then all his appointments and his dominion over three hundred miles around the ’Milun Temple’, I will definitely request The Court to revoke.

There are about 80,000 households in the area of 300 miles around the Milun Temple. Half of this territory and half of the herdsmen in the area can be granted to your legitimate son. A ’Leiwuqi Xuanwei Division’ can be established for him, and he’s allowed to inherit one of the sacred instruments from you."

Milun Temple is in the northern part of Changdu area, occupying the prime area of Changdu. Eighty thousand households amount to over three hundred thousand people, half of which is forty thousand households.

Leiwuqi is to the north of Changdu, it’s a bustling small city similar to ’Dege’.

’Jinggang Dharma King’ turned pale, he moved his lips but found himself unable to speak.

What shocked him even more was that hesitation appeared on the face of Duogansi Khan Baimalamu standing next to him.

At this point, Jinggang Dharma King’s voice was particularly difficult: "Baimalamu, don’t listen to him, he doesn’t have the power to do that yet!"

"I certainly have the right to do so. Does Khan think that I can’t capture the ’Milun Temple’, or that I can’t kill this Jinggang Dharma King? Or does Khan think that I can’t request The Court to revoke his title and territory?"

Li Xuan’s lips curled up slightly and his voice gently persuaded: "Khan, after you run away, where are you planning to hide? Will you be under the Anburo Clan’s thumb? Duogansi Khan, you don’t have much time left.

Thirty years, or fifty years? After you die, the two sacred objects in your hand will definitely be seized by the Anburo Clan. No, they might take action while you are still alive. Your sacred objects need the power of an army of ten thousand to fully utilize their power.

Without tens of thousands of followers, you have no power to resist them. It’s not just the Anburo Clan, everyone who hopes to obtain powerful weapons wants to get their hands on you. But if you kill yourself, your descendants, apart from swapping territories, won’t suffer any losses, will they?"

’Prince Anburo’ Deji Yangzong immediately snorted coldly: "Nonsense! My Anburo Clan has a blood pact with Duogansi Khan."

The look in Deji Yangzong’s eyes was slightly obscure, because that’s exactly what he’s thinking about.

Continuing to let these two sacred objects stay in the hands of this father and son is a waste.

However, at this time, Deji Yangzong did not reveal any traces of his thoughts.

But Duogansi Khan Baimalamu sighed in desolation, with a grey face. He let go of the wolf-tooth saber in his hand and looked at Li Xuan with eyes that seemed to devour people: "How am I supposed to believe that you will keep your promise?"

"I am the Hufa of Neo-Confucianism of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Li Xuan made a grand gesture, his aura glimmering with extraordinary brilliance, "With Jinping Dharma King as a witness here, I will not go back on my word."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Looking at Li Xuan’s purple aura filled with the brilliance of lapis lazuli, Baimalamu hesitated no more, "I trust you, Khan!"

Then, to everyone’s shock, he slashed at his own throat with a knife, splattering blood everywhere.

Not only did Baimalamu cut open his own windpipe and neck artery, but his entire head was also severed by his canine-shaped broadsword.

Neither his eldest legitimate son nor the eldest son from his concubines, Losang Gongbu, made any attempt to stop him when he lifted his hand.

At this moment, Deji Yangzong, the ’Prince Anburo’, exclaimed furiously, "Are you all f***ing insane?!"

He hesitated no more, his body wrapped with a dazzling yellow light and disappeared into the ground.

Similarly, the ’Jinggang Dharma King’ leaped into the sky, turned into a beam of light, and sped away to the east.

Li Xuan, his hands on the hilt of the Dari Twin Blades tied to his waist, looked at him ominously.

"Dharma King, if you reincarnate within ten days, I will spare your Milun Temple monks, along with half of your territory and subjects! Additionally, I will grant part of the Luolong Sect’s territories to your ’Milun Temple’. Otherwise, I will summon a great army to annihilate all members of your Milun Temple!"

The body of ’Jinggang Dharma King’ trembled for a moment.

His gaze became incredibly somber, showing a hint of shock and fear.

That was because Jinggang Dharma King knew that this Marquis of Guanjun of Jin Dynasty possessed such power.

To divide the six Xuanwei Divisions from Duogansi, as well as ’Folun Temple’ and ’Huguo Temple’, none would refuse his command.

He could easily gather an army of 100,000 in Changdu, and also command several heavenly-level fighters on this plateau.

Jinping Dharma King sighed, knowing that the ’Luolong Sect’ established a ’Luolong Wanhu House’ in that area. That small Tu Division always followed the lead of the Anburo Clan.

Li Xuan granting this place with more than 30,000 inhabitants to ’Milun Temple’ was an ingenious plan.

But when he heard Li Xuan mentioned ’wiping out every disciple in the Milun Temple’, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.

"Sir Marquis, if Jinggang Dharma King refuses to reincarnate, are you really going to attack Milun Temple?"

"Of course! I only said that I wouldn’t wage war today, but I didn’t promise to hold back in the future."

Li Xuan looked at him with a smile that seemed more like a smirk, "What? Hasn’t Marquis honored his word today and ensured peace in the Duogan area for a hundred years?"

Jinping Dharma King pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Marquis Guanjun, your move is brilliant with an acute understanding of balance. I admire you."

He thought that if everything proceeds according to Li Xuan’s plan, Duogan area could indeed maintain peace for at least a hundred, if not two hundred, years.

"But this ’Milun Temple’ is the missing piece."

Li Xuan flicked his folding fan hung around his neck, "The Folun Temple will pose no threat for the next two hundred years after it changes its Dharma King. Anguo Temple is primarily interested in wealth. Their teachings are not accepted by the people of Qinghai-Tibet, and they also have to face us, the Jin Dynasty.

"However, if we leave ’Milun Temple’ unchecked, everything I have done today will end up benefiting others."

Jinping Dharma King just let out a bitter laugh, even he didn’t want to see that happen.

"Anyway, if Sir Marquis insists on launching an attack, please show some mercy to us monks who cultivate with difficulty."

"That depends on whether Jinggang Dharma King has a compassionate heart. If it comes to that, I’ll have to find another Tibetan Buddhist lineage in Qinghai-Tibet to take over ’Milun Temple’. However, for long-term peace, I must clear out the Lamas of Milun Temple to prevent them from misleading the masses."

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, his expression cold, "Wouldn’t it be better for Dharma King to advise Jinggang to pass away sooner so he can reincarnate and start over?"

Jinping Dharma King thought, it’s not as easy as Li Xuan makes it sound. In the Tibetan region, only he, Jinping, with the help of a magical instrument, could allow a bit of the soul essence to enter the Primordial Spirit of a reincarnated child lama. As for the so-called reincarnation and rebuilding of other Dharma Kings, it mostly involves the transfer of memories.

And the current Jinggang, having only occupied the position of Dharma King for barely thirty years, would he be willing to give up his life so easily?

Li Xuan, however, was no longer interested in discussing this topic. He looked sternly into the void, observed two figures who had hastily fled more than a hundred miles away through the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix Niulang.

"Dharma King, our agreement about no war does not include the people of the Central Plains, does it?"

Jinlun Dharma King, upon hearing this, also looked into the void, at that mysterious heavenly figure speeding away into the distance.

He chanted a Buddhist mantra and joined his palms together, "Please do as you wish, Marquis. Your quarrel with your fellow folks from the Central Plains is not my business."
