Chapter 1613: Chapter 176: Pacifying the Chaos (Part 3)

Mi Yun led the way, bringing Xie Xuanyi to the main courtyard of the Fan Yin Temple, seeking out a quiet temple.

"Brother Xie."

"Master Xie."

Miao Zhen, Yin Chanzi, these two esteemed figures of the Buddhist sect had been waiting here for quite some time. Upon seeing Xie Xuanyi, they each offered a bow.

"How have you two been?"

Xie Xuanyi returned the bow and instinctively asked.

Then he looked up.

Xie Xuanyi slightly furrowed his brow.

Though Miao Zhen’s body had Buddhist light flowing, faintly these lights showed signs of dimness.

As for Yin Chanzi, the former Buddha’s son, a streak of Black Evil Qi lingered between his brows, and his face was pale.

Two years passed... Yin Chanzi remained only at the Yin God Realm, seemingly having an even lower realm than before.

"What happened?"

Xie Xuanyi looked towards Mi Yun.

Mi Yun said softly, "Benefactor, these wounds... were inflicted while combating Nalan Xuance."

"Brother Xie."

Miao Zhen smiled wryly and said, "Actually, after that fight, everyone sustained considerable injuries... but unexpectedly, this guy recovered so swiftly."

Two years ago.

Miao Zhen and Yin Chanzi schemed to lure Nalan Xuance out of the city and fought throughout the entire night.

Miao Zhen was injured, unable to wield the Dao Realm for a whole year.

Yin Chanzi’s cultivation regressed by ten years.

As for Nalan Xuance... he paid the price of his puppet being severely injured, with his own body and bones shattered. Ordinarily, such wounds would require at least a year and a half of meditation, but merely after tens of days, Nalan Xuance appeared again on the Wu State front, exhibiting a String Control Divine Power unheard of by the Fan Yin Temple.

Tap! Tap!

Just as Miao Zhen finished speaking.

They saw Xie Xuanyi raise his hand.

In the next moment, two streams of snow-white vapor darted out, striking right into the forehead of the two.

"Don’t be polite."

Xie Xuanyi interrupted Miao Zhen, straightforwardly saying, "Use these two streams of Undying Spring Water Vapor first; if it’s not enough, I have more."

"???"

Everything happened too quickly.

Miao Zhen and Yin Chanzi exchanged glances, both looking bewildered, touching their foreheads, not knowing what to say.

Xie Xuanyi possessing the Undying Spring was known by everyone under the heavens.

Yet.

Such generous distribution of sweet dew was excessively magnanimous, wasn’t it?

"Thank... Master Xie..."

Yin Chanzi pondered for a long time, finally scratching his head and speaking.

During the battle two years prior, he forcibly entered the Dao using Buddhist Great Divine Power, paying a painful price. Even returning to Phoenix Seal City, with the aid of fortune and destiny, managed to barely save his life. At this moment, with the Undying Spring entering his body, he immediately felt much lighter.

This was the legendary power of a supreme consumed treasure.

Throughout the millennia.

No one had ever been able to do what Xie Xuanyi did, freely gifting the Undying Spring.

To the extent...

Such a supreme treasure suddenly seemed overly abundant.

"What an incredible Bodhisattva act this is indeed."

Miao Zhen expressed sincerely.

He was immensely relieved that back then Fan Yin Temple had established a bond of goodwill with Xie Xuanyi. Initially, he was concerned about the crisis in Wu State, but now, seeing Xie Xuanyi, the giant stone in his heart had crashed down.

Even if this young sect leader of Da Sui Sword Palace didn’t intervene, simply gifting more streams of vapor could bring a significant reversal to the battle.

"...Hey, you have a share too."

Xie Xuanyi provided the Undying Spring to Miao Zhen and Yin Chanzi and did not forget Mi Yun, drawing another stream from his forehead and personally handing it to the little one.

"Thank you, Benefactor!"

Mi Yun accepted it with both hands, grinning cheerfully, with none of the dignity a Buddha’s son ought to have, just like when they met back at the Great Pudu Temple years ago.

"Tell me the current situation."

Having done these things, Xie Xuanyi talked about serious matters.

He released his Divine Thought, instantly encompassing the entire vast city. Within tens of miles, mountains and rivers were all within the range of his Divine Thought sensing.

Now.

Phoenix Seal City was ambushed on three sides.

The Crown Prince led the Southern Four States northward, flanking from Ning State straight down from the north, forming an encirclement.

What Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Thought could reach, he faintly noticed, there were quite a few troops stationed.

However...

This shouldn’t be enough to make Fan Yin Temple so helpless.

These battlefields are dozens of miles away from Phoenix Seal City, unlikely to affect the main sect of Fan Yin Temple.

"The situation in Wu State is indeed not good, but not as bad as imagined."

Mi Yun said solemnly, "Now Phoenix Seal City is surrounded on three sides, supplies are cut off. Winter is approaching, Nalan Xuance’s strategy for Phoenix Seal City is to surround but not attack... The Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry and Yuzhou Iron Cavalry are blocked and unable to aid. General Chen Chong needs to defend Xuanbei Pass; originally General Han Li planned to move south but was blocked by the Seven Marquis in Ning State, and the Ninth Prince has gone to relieve, now also trapped in Ning State. Indeed, when it comes to dire situations, their predicament is actually more severe."

He used Divine Thought to draw a floating map, explaining in detail.

Xie Xuanyi listened carefully.

He discovered something quite unbelievable... Over the past two years, Li Kingdom fought many battles, but it was completely different from when he had "Divine Travel."

The internal conflict advantage once leaning towards stability did not shift towards the Ninth Prince’s camp.

Nalan Xuance, originally in a disadvantageous position, had regained upper hand during these two years.

The momentum of the Southern Four States advancing north was as unstoppable as fire, nearly invincible. The "destined node" of the decisive battle in Wu State was simply bypassed by Nalan Xuance. He did not choose to rally at Phoenix Seal City and face off, but rather surrounded to rescue, continually assaulting before the Beizhou Iron Cavalry could consolidate.

"The general situation is like this."

Finally.

Mi Yun hesitated for a long time, pointing at the northern part of Li Kingdom, at that majestic giant city like the head of a legendary beast.

"Actually, the most crucial part is Xuanbei Pass."

The young Buddha’s son sighed and said worriedly, "For two years, the Demon Tide has gathered, attempting multiple assaults on Xuanbei Pass. Relying on Chen Chong alone is no longer sufficient to defend, originally transferred disciples from the One Strike Sect to guard Phoenix Seal City have all moved north..."

Nalan Xuance has completely forsaken peace within Li Kingdom.

He colludes with the Demon Country.

Seeking to breach the pass with the Demon Tide, completing suppression against the Ninth Prince.

After a brief silence.

Mi Yun looked at Xie Xuanyi, sincerely saying, "Benefactor. I understand that Yang God Realm Great Divine Ability Users cannot easily intervene, forcibly draw cause and effect..."

With Xie Xuanyi’s current divine skills.

Killing the Crown Prince, killing Nalan Xuance is not a difficult task.

But he is not a cultivator of Li Kingdom.

If forcefully altering a nation’s Qi fortune through his own power, it would bring unpredictable cause and effect troubles to Xie Xuanyi himself.

However, if not directly participating in internal conflicts of Li Kingdom, but instead heading north to quell the demon disaster.

It should... not be considered interference in Qi fortune.

After a pause, Mi Yun earnestly asked, "Would quelling the demon disaster at Northern Border bring cause and effect punishment upon you, Benefactor?"

Xie Xuanyi did not respond directly.

He looked at this Golden Light Map for a long time, then asked, "Are you worried that my intervention in Li Kingdom’s power struggles is defying destiny and will bring disaster upon myself?"

"...Yes."

Mi Yun was momentarily stunned.

He had the Cause and Effect Dao Realm, but didn’t know everything.

Mi Yun used Buddha Bone, seeking a solution for the Northern Border issue and a solution for the internal strife... but regardless of which solution, it all revolved around one person.

He looked over at Benefactor, nervously speaking.

"Actually, Master Xie doesn’t need to personally intervene; giving more Undying Spring... would be sufficient..."

Yin Chanzi subconsciously spoke, his voice diminishing, finally silenced by a glare from Miao Zhen.

"Shouldn’t you listen to what you’re saying?"

Miao Zhen rebuked quietly, "Giving more Undying Spring? Is this something given so casually?"

"..."

Yin Chanzi coughed twice, grasping his hands, acknowledging his words were indeed wishful thinking.

This Undying Spring, immensely precious.

Back then Ling Chenzi sold out the entire Taoist sect because of the Undying Spring.

Give more Undying Spring, at the Crown Prince’s side, anyone could be swayed...

"All of you might be overthinking this matter."

Xie Xuanyi laughed seeing this scene.

He reached out, patting Mi Yun’s shoulder, softly saying, "Master once taught me a lesson, a good deed should be completed fully, sending Buddha to the West. Since I’m here, I won’t stand by idly."

Upon hearing this.

Mi Yun, Miao Zhen, and Yin Chanzi stood stunned.

"I have some connection with Li Kingdom, not entirely without ties."

"One Strike Sect, Chen Chong, Nalan Xuance, Crown Prince... all have scores to settle with me..."

Xie Xuanyi looked up, staring at the heavens, seriously saying, "So, during this visit to Li Kingdom, it’s perfectly reasonable for me to sort out these past scores, right?"
