"That's not what I meant."

Liu Qingfeng was on the verge of tears, and he quickly spoke up.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you've been in closed-door cultivation, so you might not know what's been happening outside."

"The Little Thunderclap Temple's Xuanxin Dharma Master arrived in our Central Continent some time ago. Though nominally here to discuss Buddhism, in reality, he seeks to promote Buddhist teachings through debates."

"You must know, since ancient times, there has been no Buddhism in the Central Continent; it can only flourish in the Western Desert. After all, the Central Continent is the domain of our Daoist sects."

"But this Xuanxin Dharma Master is truly too powerful. He has been almost unstoppable, the number one of his generation in both combat and debate."

"He has already consecutively challenged the five great holy lands of our Central Continent, winning every time. Moreover, many saintly families have debated with him, only to suffer miserable defeats."

"Rumor has it today that this Xuanxin Dharma Master debated with a Supreme Elder of the Azure Cloud Holy Land, causing the latter to vomit blood and retreat in utter defeat, instantly becoming famous and causing an uproar in the Central Continent."

Qingfeng spoke slowly, but his tone and facial expressions were extremely excited and exaggerated.

At the same time, Qingfeng couldn't help but look at Lu Changsheng, only to find Lu Changsheng's expression calm. He couldn't help but greatly admire his Eldest Senior Brother's mental fortitude.

"The person you speak of is indeed powerful, but what does it have to do with me?"

Lu Changsheng asked directly, without any pretense.

Uh...

Little Junior Brother Qingfeng fell silent.

Then he sank into thought.

It seemed that it really had nothing to do with Lu Changsheng.

But soon, Little Junior Brother Qingfeng immediately spoke up, "It does have something to do with you, Eldest Senior Brother. He has already defeated the five great holy lands. If nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to debate at other holy lands in the next few days. At the earliest in ten days, at the latest in a month, this Xuanxin Dharma Master will arrive at our Great Luo Holy Land."

"When he comes here, naturally, he will look for cultivators of the same generation. In our Great Luo Holy Land, only you can debate with him."

"Eldest Senior Brother, to say something disrespectful, if you lose, our Great Luo Holy Land will lose face, and you will probably suffer a complete loss of prestige."

"Moreover, the most important thing is not just a simple matter of face."

"According to my father, Xuanxin Dharma Master wants to promote Buddhism in the Central Continent. If he defeats the ten great holy lands in a row and no one can do anything about it, there will definitely be an extremely fierce battle between Buddhism and Daoism."

"Once the battle starts, if the Demonic Sect takes advantage of the situation, it will not be a good thing for the people of the world."

Little Junior Brother Qingfeng explained the seriousness of the situation in detail.

But Lu Changsheng's focus was not on the people of the world, nor on the Demonic Sect taking advantage of the situation, but on someone wanting to fight him?

"Why look for me? Isn't Senior Sister Ziyun good enough? Does our Great Luo Holy Land not have any outstanding disciples? Jin Yang is also good."

Lu Changsheng quickly said.

Combat?

What kind of combat?

See who cultivates slower? That can be compared.

If it really comes down to it, we can always see who can eat five steamed buns in one go. That's not out of the question, either.

Why fight using Dharma?

Buddhist disciples, engaging in fighting and killing, what kind of behavior is that?

"Fighting with Dharma is secondary. The main point is debating the Dharma. Moreover, Senior Brother Jin Yang once fought with this Xuanxin Dharma Master. According to others, Senior Brother Jin Yang was defeated in one move."

Little Junior Brother Qingfeng said this.

"Defeated in one move?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be surprised.

You must know, Jin Yang is a True Disciple. Lu Changsheng has seen him once, and his strength is very strong. When he casts his Dao techniques, there is a golden sun behind his head, which appears extremely extraordinary. His swordsmanship is even more transcendent. And he was defeated?

"Yes, who would have thought!"

"So, Da Luo's hope rests on you, no, the hope of the entire Central Continent Daoist sect rests on you!"

Little Junior Brother Qingfeng said with utmost seriousness.

"Rests on me?"

Lu Changsheng was a little confused again.

I didn't say anything, why does it rest on me?

"Senior Brother, you may not know, those peers who were defeated by Xuanxin Dharma Master would say after their defeat, 'Although I was defeated, it's not because you are strong, but because I am too weak. If you were to meet my Daoist sect's Eldest Senior Brother, Lu Changsheng, you would know what it means that there is always someone better than you.'"

"So, Xuanxin Dharma Master will definitely come to find you, but Senior Brother, I believe in you. The entire Great Luo Holy Land, including the entire Central Continent Daoist sect, believes that you can defeat Xuanxin Dharma Master."

When Qingfeng said this, he appeared extremely heroic and full of bluster, but he didn't notice that Lu Changsheng's face darkened a little.

"Is it very unlucky to lose?"

Then Lu Changsheng asked seriously.

"Very unlucky! And very miserable! And the most miserable thing is, if Xuanxin Dharma Master chooses the Great Luo Holy Land as the last holy land to challenge, once we lose, many people will attribute their resentment to our Great Luo Holy Land, which will have a great impact, perhaps a stain for life."

Qingfeng answered with utmost seriousness.

"Then since he makes the Daoist sect so embarrassed, why hasn't anyone intercepted and killed him on the road?"

Lu Changsheng had an idea.

But as soon as he said this, Qingfeng couldn't help but put on a sad face and said, "That Xuanxin Dharma Master is a reincarnation of a Buddhist Buddha. He is born with luck. Although he can't compare to Senior Brother, he can be considered a person blessed with great luck. Who dares to kill him? Even the Demonic Sect doesn't dare to take action."

"Moreover, there must be Buddhist experts protecting him. To take a step back, if something really happens to him, the Buddhist sect will definitely hold our Daoist sect accountable."

"Our Daoist sect is certainly not afraid of the Buddhist sect, but once the situation becomes serious, it will trigger a conflict between Buddhism and Daoism. At that time, it will inevitably be a disaster for the people, and everyone will be reduced to eternal sinners. Our Daoist sect cares about the common people and would never do such a thing. In addition, we are all orthodox Daoist sects, and it is impossible for us to do such a thing."

Qingfeng said with a face full of righteousness.

Huff!

He breathed out a mouthful of air.

Lu Changsheng nodded, his face expressionless, appearing very silent, and he didn't say a word.

At this moment, it wasn't about showing off, but truly not knowing what to say.

"Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

Liu Qingfeng continued to ask.

"Since we're here, let's take it easy."

What else could he say?

Could he say surrender?

Could he admit defeat?

Could he run away?

Right now, the other party hadn't arrived yet, so he could only take it one step at a time.

"Understood!" Liu Qingfeng nodded thoughtfully, then retreated, saying, "Then I'll leave first, Senior Brother. Please rest well. What does a mere Xuanxin Dharma Master amount to? We believe in you."

Liu Qingfeng left.

Inside the main hall.

Only a useless Eldest Senior Brother remained, his heart filled with anxiety.

Alas!

At this moment, Lu Changsheng lost all desire to refine pills.

His good mood was gone just like that.

Damn bald donkey.

Lu Changsheng cursed inwardly.

And at this moment.

After walking out of the main hall.

Liu Qingfeng, according to Lu Changsheng's instructions, waited until everyone had finished their hard labor before distributing a Vajra Glazed Pill to each person.

The latter were all curious, wondering what this was.

But suddenly, Liu Qingfeng pulled everyone together, appearing extremely mysterious.

"I'm going to tell you something, but you must keep it a secret, understand?"

As his voice rang out, everyone couldn't help but feel curious.

"What is it?"

"Tell us quickly!"

Liu Qingfeng glanced around, and after discovering that there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice.

"Isn't Xuanxin Dharma Master here to debate in the Central Continent? I just told Senior Brother about this matter. Guess what Senior Brother said?"

Liu Qingfeng pretended to be mysterious.

In an instant, all the disciples perked up, the fatigue of the day instantly vanishing, each of them appearing extremely curious.
