I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense
Chapter 1282 - Chapter 1282 Chapter 1283 Lobbying

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1283: Lobbying Chapter 1282: Chapter 1283: Lobbying “Amitabha, well-said, well-said. I, Monk Wuyan, have greeted all benefactors here. Today, I come to the sacred land of your esteemed Great Sect to seek assistance with a particular matter!”

The visitor was none other than the infamous Monk Wuyan, who brought his hands together in a salute and bowed respectfully.

“Master’s visit this time, I’m afraid, concerns the recent rumor, right? Some say the Buddhist Sect’s foundation has crumbled and the Power of Faith has collapsed. Nowadays, within the Western Continent Buddha Nation, not a single believer is said to exist.”

An Elder from the Demon Sealing Sect said in a nonchalant tone. Although the Buddhist Sect maintains the appearance of being righteous, everyone is well aware of their shady deeds. Not to mention, within our Demon Sealing Sect alone, numerous Disciples and cultivators have been lost to the Buddhist Sect for over a decade and ended up as mere laborers for the Buddhist Sect.

“Amitabha, what Elder Huangye says are purely groundless fabrications. Our Buddhist Sect has indeed encountered some minor troubles, yet we have not fallen into the dilapidated state as the Elder describes.”

“If you do not believe me, you need only visit the Buddha Nation to see for yourself!”

Monk Wuyan stated indifferently, his tone calm and unhurried, betraying no sign of panic.

“You Buddhists are all major deceivers, trying to lure me to the Buddha Country to convert me, aren’t you? I’d believe in ghosts before I believe you, you sly old thing!”

The old Elder named Huangye from the Demon Sealing Sect said furiously; he had a hot temper and seeing these ‘bald donkeys’ made him lose it.

This is also where the Buddhist Sect shines; while the news of their decline has indeed spread, various powers are indeed becoming restless, but the key issue is that no one knows the extent of the Buddhist Sect’s actual decline–whether the foundation is truly destroyed, or if all of this is merely a smokescreen by the Buddhist Sect.

The aim is to set a trap to lure various forces to invade Buddha Nation territory, then defeat them all with the Power of Faith. If it’s the latter, then this ’empty fortress stratagem’ is extremely clever.

It’s precisely because of the wariness towards the Buddhist Sect that the surrounding powers, despite their eagerness, have not taken any real action. Instead, they quietly observe and wait for someone else to make the first move. In this way, the Buddhist Sect remains secure for the time being.

“Amitabha, monks do not speak lies; one can eat recklessly but should not speak recklessly.”

Monk Wuyan said coldly.

“Master Wuyan, I will ask you one thing, the rumor that the Buddhist Sect’s Power of Faith supply chain has been cut off–is it true?”

The middle-aged man sitting in the center asked aloud.

“It’s been cut off, but not completely.”

Monk Wuyan replied.

Demon Sealing Sect members: “???”

“Our Demon Sealing Sect has always stood independently from other factions. State your intentions directly. If you’re here to recruit allies for your cause, you may leave now.”

The middle-aged man said with an expressionless face.

“Amitabha, we Buddhist monks never covet valorous confrontations, nor do we harbor any intent of forming cliques for private gains. I’ve come to the Demon Sealing Sect today to plead on behalf of all living beings, hoping to join forces with all major righteous sects to eliminate vicious and evil scoundrels!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Indeed, as Elder Huangye has just stated, the rumors outside are not baseless. Our Buddhist Sect is indeed facing a great catastrophe. Blood Demon Sect has struck against us!”

“As the leader of the Demon Path, Blood Demon Sect has always harbored wild ambitions. Just a few days ago, they finally revealed their ferocious fangs against our sect, using special means to wipe out the Power of Faith of our sect, almost severing our foundation. Such actions are an outrage that both gods and men condemn. Master Wuyuzi commanded me to come here and unite with all parties to jointly crusade against the Blood Demon Sect!”

Killing Monk Wuyan spoke with flames flickering in his eyes, clearly displaying his anger.

“The Blood Demon Sect targets your Buddhist Sect; what does it have to do with our Demon Sealing Sect, or with the common people under heaven?”

“This is merely a matter between your two sides, a case of dog eat dog, and yet you seek to drag us into it. Truly devious intentions!”

Elder Huangye scolded loudly again, seeing right through that this old monk in front of him was up to no good.

“This is an internal affair of your Buddhist Sect. What does it have to do with the common people under heaven?”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, understanding that the Buddhist Sect was seeking help at this critical juncture. However, they had no intention of assisting; not kicking them while they were down was already generous!

“Amitabha, venerable benefactors, please think carefully. The Blood Demon Sect dares to openly target our sect, indicating they are fully prepared. Would their goal merely be our Buddhist Sect alone?”

“At this moment, within the Central Origin Realm, the only one that can match the Blood Demon Sect’s foundation is, indeed, our Buddhist Sect. If we fall into decline, the Blood Demon Sect will surely occupy the Western Continent, and then set their sights on other Super Sects. There is no doubt about this!”

“It is laughable that the people of the world have yet to see through this layer and are complacently pleased about the opportunity to divide our Buddhist Sect; it is truly lamentable!”

“Without our Buddhist Sect, the force that can keep the Blood Demon Sect in check will be greatly diminished! At this juncture, even if only for self-preservation, all the great sects should join hands with our Buddhist Sect. As the leading force of righteousness, the Demon Sealing Sect, if the Sect Master is willing to give the order, a call to arms will rally an invincible army against the Blood Demon Sect; our chances of winning will increase significantly!”

Killing Monk Wuyan had a smile on his face as he spoke with a sly tone, not at all panicked. He knew that compared to the Buddhist Sect, it was the Blood Demon Sect that was truly a thorn in the hearts of many cultivators. Without the Buddhist Sect’s strength, the unity of other sects would still be hard-pressed to contend against the Blood Demon Sect. This was just a thin veil, and once pierced, the people would wake up and stand on his side.

“So that’s your scheme. The principles of lips and teeth depending on one another are clear. Now the Blood Demon Sect’s spearhead is pointed directly at our Buddhist Sect, which serves as our facade. Only by preserving this facade can our sects be safe and sound.”

The elders of the Demon Sealing Sect pondered thoughtfully. The other’s words held truth. Focusing solely on the immediate gains and dividing the Buddhist Sect is precisely what the Blood Demon Sect wants to see the most. Perhaps at the brink of their demise, the Buddhist Sect might counterstrike fiercely, with a foundation accumulated over a thousand years enough to severely damage all the great sects, handing over the fruits of victory to the Blood Demon Sect!

“Master Wuyan’s words are clear to me, but what benefits would there be for us in defending the Western Continent for your Buddhist Sect? As you know, our sects are all in the Southern Continent. If the Blood Demon Sect takes the chance to strike, wouldn’t that just mean handing over our sects to others for nothing?”

The middle-aged man spoke, clearly seeking benefits.

“Amitabha, Master Wuyuzi had already anticipated this situation and would certainly bring sincerity in asking for help from the venerable benefactors.”

Killing Monk Wuyan laughed heartily, flipping his wrist and taking out an envelope, which he handed over.

An elder took the envelope and checked it carefully; only after confirming there was no issue did he hand it over to the middle-aged man.

Upon opening the envelope and reading the contents written by Master Wuyuzi himself, the middle-aged man’s pupils shrank involuntarily. After a long pause, he set down the envelope, which spontaneously combusted into ashes.

“I understand the matter. Go back and tell Master Wuyuzi that I will handle it accordingly.”
