Chapter 479 Who from the Xu family will fight?
In Xu Qingzhou's courtyard, Xu Luo and the others were all there, drinking the spirit wine that Xu Chu had just brewed and discussing the matter.
“This old bald monk dares to gamble so big, he must have something to rely on,” Xu Chen said confidently.
Xu Luo said, "This Kong Jing is the grand-uncle of the abbot of Wanfo Temple. He is so confident that he may have already become an emperor."
The Xu family was just worried about how to deal with the Western Regions Buddhist sect and control the entire Cangzhou, but they never expected that these people would run into them.
Xu Qiufeng chuckled.
"That old bald monk thinks he's the only one who's become emperor. I bet they're already thinking about what will happen after they win."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Xu Qingzhou was originally considering whether or not to tell the world about the bet.
It's unclear whether they were worried that the Xu family wouldn't keep their promise, or whether they wanted to utterly defeat the Xu family and regain their lost face.
The Buddhist community, however, took the lead and began to publicize this matter extensively.
Xu Qingzhou was immediately amused.
"Since you want the world to know about this, then I'll grant your little wish."
Xu Qingzhou ordered that the Zuixianlou intelligence system should spread the word about this matter.
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion is far more efficient than the Buddhist sect; the Buddhist sect can only promote itself in Ascension City.
With Zuixianlou taking action, all the details of the matter quickly spread throughout Cangzhou, reaching a point where everyone knew about it.
The Xu family's high-stakes gamble with the Buddhist community naturally shocked the world.
"My God! This is an incredibly high bet!!"
"Although there has been no full-scale war, judging from the stakes, it has reached a point where it is either you die or I die."
"Although the Xu family is very powerful, the other party is one of the seven major Buddhist sects in the Western Regions, with extremely profound foundations."
"Fortunately, it was a single game to decide the winner. If it were five or seven games or something, the Xu family wouldn't have been able to find that many Saint Kings."
"Such an important event, we must go to the scene to see it for ourselves."
"That's right, let's go!"
Originally, many people from all over Cangzhou went to Shengxian City, some to move, and some just to sightsee and see the prosperity of Shengxian City.
Now, a new group of people has joined the main force heading to Shengxian City; they have come to witness the great battle firsthand.
In just three days, the population of Shengxian City, which numbered over 100 million, increased by 30%.
The appointed time arrived.
The martial arts arena in Shengxian City was packed with people, numbering at least tens of millions, which is more than the population of any other city outside of Shengxian City in Cangzhou.
Fortunately, the training ground is large enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people, although some people may be too far away to see clearly.
The Buddhist monks from the Western Regions gathered together, their eyes closed and chanting Buddhist scriptures. To the uninitiated, it would seem as if they were desperately seeking divine intervention.
Noon.
Xu Qingzhou arrived with the Xu family. He was at the forefront, dressed in white with an otherworldly air, like a celestial being descended to earth. The beautiful and charming Yin Xianhong was beside him.
Xu Luo and his group of prodigies were all at the rear; there weren't many of them.
After all, this is Shengxian City, Xu family territory. There's no reason to bring a large group of people when taking a walk in one's own home.
"Look! The Xu family is here!"
"Chief Xu is so handsome, an impeccable man."
"I wonder who the Xu family will send out. Lord Yin?"
"There doesn't seem to be a requirement for the True Dragon Ranking, so the strongest will definitely be chosen."
"In that case, wouldn't the Xu family be at a great disadvantage? After all, the Buddhist sect must have experts at the eighth or ninth level of the Saint King realm, but the Xu family doesn't."
When the Xu family arrived, everyone on the Buddhist side opened their eyes.
Their eyes were filled with confidence, as well as anticipation and longing for Buddhism to spread throughout Cangzhou and develop Cangzhou into a Buddhist kingdom.
Kong Jing asked calmly, "Is Clan Chief Xu ready?"
“Of course,” Xu Qingzhou nodded.
Kong Jing asked, "Then who will the Xu family send to fight?"
He glanced at Yin Xianhong. At the ninth level of the Saint King Realm, such cultivation at this age was indeed impressive, but it was nothing special among the seven major Buddhist sects of the Western Regions.
If it were her, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
Yin Xianhong's rapid progress in cultivation was largely thanks to Xu Qingzhou.
When they first met, Yin Xianhong was only at the fifth level of the Saint King Realm. If she had cultivated at that speed, she would have been at most at the seventh level of the Saint King Realm by now.
When Yin Xianhong went to visit Xu Ying with Xu Qingzhou, she entered a state of enlightenment because of something Xu Qingzhou said on the way, and broke through to the sixth level of the Saint King Realm.
In the decades that followed, she traveled to various continents and broke through to the seventh level of the Saint King realm.
Later, after she got together with Xu Qingzhou, she broke through to the eighth level of the Saint King Realm through dual cultivation.
In previous years, consuming a portion of the demon tree fruit given to her by Xu Hao enabled her to break through to the ninth level of the Saint King Realm.
Shen Hongyi, who was also the head of the Shenque Prefecture, originally had a higher cultivation level than her, but now he watched helplessly as her cultivation level caught up with and eventually surpassed his, and was even about to catch up with Elder Wang.
Xu Qingzhou casually said, "Our Xu family is not as powerful as the Buddhist sect, and we don't have many capable people, so only I, as the clan leader, can take action."
what? ?
Xu Qingzhou's words shocked not only the Buddhist monks but also the tens of millions of cultivators present.
"What? Chief Xu is coming himself?"
"It's not that I don't believe in Clan Chief Xu; I even think his talent is the greatest in Cangzhou's history. But he hasn't had enough time to grow."
"The last time Clan Chief Xu made a move in the Starry Sea, he was at the second level of the Great Saint Realm. Now, he's at most at the eighth or ninth level of the Great Saint Realm. How can he fight against a Saint King Realm expert?"
"If Lord Yin is not up to the task, then Elder Wang from Shenque Prefecture would be fine too. How can you do it yourself?"
Is this confidence or arrogance?
Immediately, the scene was filled with doubts.
It's not that we're questioning Xu Qingzhou's talent or ability, but rather his decision.
This is far too hasty and childish. Gambling so heavily, isn't this playing with the hard-earned Great Qian Dynasty?
Kong Jing didn't laugh. He felt that something was amiss. He looked at Xu Qingzhou with a serious expression, and used his divine sense to examine Xu Qingzhou and everything around him again and again, but he still couldn't find anything suspicious.
"What is the meaning of this, Benefactor Xu? Are you trying to provoke my Buddhist sect into sending someone of equal strength to fight you?"
Xu Qingzhou said calmly, "Whatever you say."
Kong Jing frowned, deciding to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. He would handle it himself. No matter what schemes or tricks you had, in the face of absolute strength, everything was as vulnerable as a clay chicken or a clay dog.
"In that case, let me see just how amazing and brilliant Chief Xu really is."
Kong Jing took the lead and flew high into the sky.
Although the formations around the arena could withstand attacks from Saint Realm experts, they could not stop him, an Emperor Realm expert.
Therefore, it's better to fight high in the air, since these people are the future disciples of their Buddhist sect, and it would be a loss for them to hurt them.
Before the battle even started, the Void Realm had already treated the residents of Ascension City as resources and property for their Buddhist sect.
Xu Qingzhou smiled calmly and followed.
But to the world, this was nothing short of suicide.
