As for Shaolin Temple, not only was it defeated, but countless experts were also seriously injured. Even the abbot and the head of the Arhat Hall were dead.
Hence, Dugu Qiubai felt good, but Shaolin Temple felt miserable!
However, let alone Dugu Qiubai, even if he, Zhao Xuan, was bored when he attained the Connate Realm, he would probably turn Shaolin Temple upside down to satisfy his craving!
As for the reason?
Who asked Shaolin Temple to have profound martial arts and countless experts?
Who asked your Shaolin Temple to be the number one sect in the world?
Sometimes, reputation was also a burden!
Dugu Qiubai was unrivaled in the world, so he could only try it out on the number one sect in the world, Shaolin Temple.
In the end, the Shaolin Temple did not live up to its name, which disappointed him.
Therefore, Dugu Qiubai felt that the Shaolin Temple's reputation as the number one in the world was undeserved. He might have been a little too harsh. Then, the Shaolin Temple suffered. A large number of top-notch experts died. Even the abbot and the head of the Arhat Hall died. They had no choice but to seal the mountain and recuperate...
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly.
If you want to wear his crown, you must bear his weight!
How could it be so easy to be the number one in the world?
Zhao Xuan smiled." Dugu Qiubai has been gone for a long time. After decades, Shaolin Temple should have recovered, right?" Moreover, Dugu Qiubai had only attacked the experts of Shaolin Temple at that time. At most, he had weakened the high-end combat strength of Shaolin Temple. The other monks would not be affected, right?”
Tian Ming nodded and didn't answer. He knew what Zhao Xuan meant.
Decades had passed, and the high-end combat strength had recovered. The middle and low-end combat strength were not affected!
"Now that the world is in chaos and the mountains and rivers are in ruins, why should your Shaolin Temple, as the former leader, close the mountains and send troops to fight against Mongolia?
In fact, it was precisely because of this that Shaolin Temple had always sealed the mountain.
After all, as the number one Shaolin Temple in the world, it was impossible for them not to contribute to the battle of Song Meng.
But should they send troops? The Mongolian cavaliers were too powerful. Not only did Shaolin Temple suffer heavy losses, but once the Mongols occupied the Central Plains and changed dynasties, Shaolin Temple would be finished in the future!
Thinking of this, Shaolin Temple decided to continue sealing the mountain and not care about the world.
When the war subsided, even if the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Mongolians would not bother with Shaolin Temple on account that they did not interfere!
This was the Shaolin Temple's true plan. They did not care about the country and sealed the mountain to survive just to protect themselves!
However, if the people of the Central Plains had such considerations and acted in such a manner, then when the Mongolians came, they would all live on and protect themselves. They would not resist and would directly give the Han Dynasty to the Mongolians!
Didn't that mean that the vast Central Plains, with so many heroes, would forever be ruled by a few barbarians?
Abbot Tian Ming was shrewd and did not say much. However, Zen Master Wuse was a forthright person. He could not stand the fact that Shaolin Temple did not care about the country and lived to protect themselves.
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan was overjoyed. Shaolin's combat strength had improved greatly.
However, Fang Zhang Tian Ming's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly said,""Your Highness, don't listen to nonsense. Shaolin Temple doesn't care about the world.”
"A duel? Amitabha." " Yes." Abbot Tian Ming sighed." Although Shaolin Temple stands aloof from worldly affairs, since Your Highness has requested it, we can only comply." However, I wonder how Your Highness wants to gamble?”
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but sigh. This guy was so hypocritical.
They clearly knew that he was going to do it, so the Shaolin Temple could only agree. However, they actually said it in such a dignified manner.
"It's very simple. I've long heard that Shaolin Temple's Eighteen Arhats Formation is very powerful. Coincidentally, our Xuan Sect also has the Big Dipper Formation of the Quanzhen Branch. It was better for both sides to send experts with similar cultivation to spar.”
Zhao Xuan said with a smile.
Tian Ming thought for a moment. Although the Big Dipper Formation was very famous, the Shaolin Eighteen Arhats Formation was not bad either. He nodded."I wonder what Your Highness plans to do?”
"Both sides will send out first-class experts. Your Shaolin will have 18 people and form 18 Arhats. Our Xuan Sect, Quan Zhen Sect, 14 people, form the Big Dipper Formation!”
"18 against 14?" "Your Highness, you'll be at a disadvantage if you do this!" Zen Master Wuse could not help but say.”
"It's fine to spar." Zhao Xuan shook his head. If you win, I'll leave the mountain. Even if the Shaolin Temple closes the mountain until the Great Song is destroyed, I won't say a word. On the contrary, if we are lucky enough to win, then there are two points. First, I'll go to the Gold-Storing Pavilion for half a day. Second, Shaolin will send troops to resist Meng."
Half a day in the Sutra Depository? Send troops to resist Meng?
Tian Ming thought for a moment and agreed.
Now that the Xuan Gate's experts were gathered at the foot of the mountain, the Shaolin Temple was no match for them. If they attacked directly, the Shaolin Temple did not have much chance of winning.
Moreover, even if he lost, Zhao Xuan wouldn't be able to remember much in half a day.
As for sending troops, there was no other way.
Now that Quan Zhen Sect had gone all out, it would be difficult for Shaolin Temple to stay out of this.
Most importantly, as a Shaolin Temple disciple, how could he admit defeat when faced with Quan Zhen Sect's challenge?
"I'll listen to whatever Your Highness says."”
Soon, everyone arrived at the training field.
Eighteen first-class experts of Shaolin Temple held long staffs and formed an Arhat Formation.
There were fourteen first-rate experts in the Quanzhen branch. They held long swords and formed two Big Dipper Killing Arrays. The sword qi was threatening.
Both sides stood with swords in their hands, ready to fight at any moment.
"Your Highness?" Tian Ming asked.
Zhao Xuan took a sip of tea and nodded calmly.
The rod and sword clashed. In an instant, both sides quickly exchanged blows.
The two Big Dipper Killing Formations attacked with all their might. They turned into two sharp sword Qi and attacked the Eighteen Arhats Formation in two directions.
The eighteen Shaolin Temple disciples also attacked with all their might. Their long staffs came straight for him!
In the first confrontation, both sides had gone all out.
There was no other way. One side was Shaolin, and the other side was Quan Zhen Sect.
This wasn't just a gamble, but also a battle of reputation between the two sides. It was related to the battle between Taoism and Buddhism. No one would treat this competition as a child's play.
However, the two Big Dipper Killing Formations were the main attackers in this clash, so they didn't have any effect. Instead, the Arhat Formation was slightly shaken.
Although the eighteen Shaolin disciples and the Arhat Array could also unleash the power of a top-notch expert, they were still very powerful.
However, fourteen Quan Zhen Sect disciples and two Big Dipper Killing Formations were the power of two top experts!
