Chapter 530 Ursus, are you the master or the mentor?
Chapter 530 Ursus, are you the master or the mentor?
The middle-aged monk remained unfazed by Bai Ze's sarcasm, even displaying a friendly smile.
"This humble monk, Fahui, is a disciple of Daxing Temple and a Dharma propagator stationed in the Ursus Federation. Because of my familiarity with your country, I have been assigned this diplomatic mission."
Master Fahui, seemingly unfazed by the insults, introduced himself, saying, "Although we monks are recluses, we also have a heart devoted to serving our country."
He spoke without hesitation, as if he weren't the one who had advised Joseph to wait for a higher price.
Joseph then spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "That's enough. This is my guest, none of your business. Now, state your name, rank, and Vladimir's orders."
Joseph was filled with wariness towards this powerful figure who had suddenly appeared and was also proficient in the sacred words of the orthodox Church.
Did Vladimir secretly cultivate such a young and powerful figure with the intention of replacing him?
Joseph had already decided to find out all the information about Bai Ze as quickly as possible.
"The Holy See may call me Ivan."
Bai Ze once again casually uttered a common name from Ursus, without even mentioning the surname.
"As for the mentor's orders, they are actually related to Dongxia."
Bai Ze said in a solemn tone: "My mentor has met with the God of War of Dongxia and reached a consensus. The Ursus Federation will form an alliance with the Dongxia Federation and has assigned me to meet with Bai Ze, the God of War's envoy, Dongxia's number one genius, and the current chief of Yujing Martial Arts University."
"In other words, this monk cannot represent Dongxia."
These words completely thwarted Monk Fahui's plan and made Joseph's face darken.
In his steely eyes, a storm seemed to be brewing.
"An alliance with Dongxia, such a big thing, why didn't I know?" Joseph's voice was cold and deep, like frost on steel, extremely hard.
He originally intended to take the opportunity to make exorbitant demands, or even take a piece of meat, but he didn't expect that Vladimir had already reached an agreement with the military god of Dongxia.
Most importantly, he knew nothing about this whole thing.
If something extremely important is known to others but not to you, it only means that you are not important enough.
Joseph is now facing this kind of "you don't matter" kind of blow.
Vladimir is usually mild-mannered, but when it comes to important matters, his decisiveness and ruthlessness are unmatched by anyone else.
Just like with the Joseph incident, if they want to give you a warning, they will.
If I say I'm going to cut off your thoughts, I mean I'll cut them off completely.
"I disagree!" Joseph said firmly. "Ursus has no need to act as a shield for Eastern Xia."
"There's an old saying in Eastern Xia, 'If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' Given the Holy See's foresight, he surely knows the purpose behind the Master's actions."
Bai Ze remained indifferent and slowly said, "Moreover, this is not seeking your opinion, but informing you. Holy See, please understand one thing. In Ursus, are you the master, or is the mentor the master?"
There's no need to argue with Joseph; Bai Ze only needs to read out Vladimir's orders.
Ursus has only one sun, and that is Vladimir.
Bai Ze will do his best to push this matter forward.
This was partly because Dongxia needed this ally, and partly because Joseph was blocking Catherine's path.
Meanwhile, the air around Joseph showed obvious signs of hardening.
The "iron will" has already been unconsciously interfering with reality, which shows how turbulent the waves in its heart are.
But Joseph suppressed his anger.
This iron patriarch, known for his toughness and domineering nature, suppressed his overwhelming rage at this moment.
It's hard to say whether Vladimir's prestige in Ursus is too high, or whether he's just too good at maintaining his composure.
Bai Ze believes that both are true.
He secretly became even more vigilant.
Bai Ze's idea to provoke Joseph and see how he would respond was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Bai Ze knew that Vladimir, with his divine will, was fully capable of knowing everything here. Perhaps, Vladimir was currently watching this place.
Bai Ze's safety has always been guaranteed, even though he didn't transform into Letian.
Bai Ze's idea was to provoke Joseph and make him do something irrational, so that Vladimir would keep a close eye on this Iron Patriarch.
Unfortunately, this Iron Patriarch, though domineering in his actions, was not a true brute. He was certainly angry, but he was not controlled by his anger.
"I will personally contact Vladimir and persuade him to postpone the alliance, as it is not in Ursus's interest."
The steely atmosphere around Joseph slowly disappeared, and his voice returned to calm. "Even if we're going to form an alliance, there's no need to do it now."
"This is your freedom, Holy See."
Bai Ze spoke calmly, then took his leave, saying, "The message has been delivered, so I will take my leave now. I also ask that Your Holiness not disobey the Master's orders and join forces with the people sent from Dongxia to find out the whereabouts of the God of the Mortal Realm as soon as possible."
After saying this, Bai Ze turned and left.
Joseph made no move throughout, letting the young man who had offended him and threatened him leave.
After Bai Ze left, he regained his calm and majesty, like a god.
Monk Fahui gritted his teeth inwardly, absolutely unwilling to accept the sudden change in the favorable situation.
Joseph was already interested, or rather, he had this idea for a long time, but Ursus's enemy bypassed him and reached a consensus with the God of War.
Thinking of this, Fa Hui raised his head again, ready to continue his persuasion.
As soon as his eyes met Joseph's, a cold and unyielding will entered his mind.
Fa Hui froze instantly, standing still like a stone statue.
After a long while, he seemed to wake from a dream and said, "This humble monk takes his leave."
As he spoke, he slowly retreated and left the tent.
"That's ruthless; they made my warning clear."
Looking at the crimson screen, Vladimir couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "Joseph is definitely going to hold a grudge against him now. The young man is quite clever, knowing how to use a fake identity."
As for Bai Ze making his conflict with Joseph clear, Vladimir saw it clearly, but he didn't care.
If you're going to give a warning, then give it a thorough one, instead of being vague and leaving Joseph with hope, which could sow the seeds of future trouble.
"Over the years, you have been secretly searching for Koshche's 'Theory of Immortal Evolution,' and you have also secretly copied the chapters of 'Evolution' that the Federation has obtained."
.....
Vladimir looked at the tent in the light screen, and the steel cross above it. "You're trying to use the 'Theory of Immortality' to transform your physical body and push open the final divine gate. You're willing to pay any price for it. This behavior is far too dangerous."
"Joseph, your mindset and personality are not suited to leading Ursus."
He once again rejected Joseph's right to succession and began to monitor the movements of the Guardians of the Faith more closely.
Joseph's domineering personality will lead Ursus, who already has a ruthless style, down an extreme path.
He might also be unwilling to accept Vladimir's veto and might do something extreme.
This requires Vladimir's constant attention.
On the other hand... "The completion of 'The Theory of Immortal Evolution' was not only due to Koche's own talent, but also inseparable from His support and help."
Vladimir's gaze was deep and his eyes glowed red. "Will you have contact with Him, Joseph?"
Despite having heard that He was now extremely weak, and that even His own demonic blood had been taken by the Third Divine Enemy of Dongxia, Vladimir never let his guard down against that being.
That one—the evil god who invaded Ursus back then, attempting to corrupt Vladimir, the enemy of the gods—the Great Freedom!
If I hadn't blocked your invasion back then, I might be in the same situation as the third enemy of Dongxia today.
Vladimir sighed inwardly.
It was the betrayal of the third enemy that served as a wake-up call for Vladimir, prompting him to contact the God of War.
While thinking, Vladimir communicated with various divine wills, further increasing his focus on Joseph.
The monk Fahui emerged from the sacred domain established by the Ursus Orthodox Church. His figure was ethereal, and he walked on lotus blossoms with every step, arriving at a sand dune.
His divine sense spread like silk threads, reaching all directions. After repeatedly sweeping the surrounding area, he formed a hand seal on the top of the sand mound and struck it into the ground.
The red sand began to slowly shift, like quicksand.
As the sands rolled and spread, a dark and ferocious stone statue rose from below.
"Senior brother, wake up."
Fa Hui made a mudra and uttered Sanskrit chants.
In response to his voice, the stone statue slowly cracked open, revealing a figure that combined terror and majesty.
On the lotus seat formed from sand and gravel, a burly figure with a dark blue-black body sat down. Deep red flames ignited on his body, awakening his consciousness. His black and red hair burned like flames, even faintly gathering into the shape of a crown.
Even when seated, this person was taller than ordinary people, like a giant.
He opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bulging red eyes that stared at Fa Hui with an air of majesty and terror.
.
"Is it done?" the giant asked in a deep voice.
"It didn't work out; it was ruined by some guy who came out of nowhere. Ursus's enemy and the God of War have reached an agreement, and both sides have decided to form an alliance."
Fa Hui was no longer as amiable as before; her round face was now filled with a chilling murderous intent. "But judging from Joseph's expression, he's also dissatisfied with this alliance. If we go and kill the envoy of the Ursus Gods, Joseph will most likely pretend he didn't receive the order and ignore the alliance."
"But afterwards, you will definitely become the prime suspect," the giant said.
"What does it matter?"
The monk Fahui smiled coldly, "What does their seeking out Fahui of Daxing Temple have to do with Nie Chidan of my esoteric sect? In any case, this identity can't be used after this one time, so we might as well make good use of it."
Compared to the damage to the alliance between the two countries, this is a negligible price to pay.
Upon hearing this, the dark blue giant remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Although the God of War hasn't investigated our sect, his gaze has indeed fallen upon us. We must prepare for the worst. But judging from your description, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture that person."
Let alone taking him down, if that person can actually fight Joseph, they'll be lucky if they don't die at his hands.
"It's alright. I've confirmed that Ivan wasn't a Heavenly Gate Warrior; he relied on external forces."
Fa Hui offered a word of comfort, then said, "However, it is indeed not safe for just the two of us. Senior brother, I intend to use myself as a dwelling place and ask the great god Bandharam to descend upon me and annihilate this enemy."
Bandharam is a title used in Tantric Buddhism to refer to a certain deity or Buddha. If translated into Eastern Xia language, it would be "Auspicious Mother".
The melodious sound drifted into his ears, startling Fa Hui.
The dark blue giant swung his hands like wheels, unleashing a burst of crimson flame that struck directly at the source of the sound.
Before this body, there was no flame.
A calm voice rang out, and the crimson flames grew weaker and weaker as they moved forward. By the time they reached the other party, they had turned into a wisp of green smoke and slowly dissipated.
"I didn't expect him to be a follower of an evil god."
With combat boots treading on the scorching sand, a figure slowly emerged, one hand resting on a military knife, bathed in platinum-gold light.
It is Bai Ze!
Bai was not magnanimous enough to be schemed against and not retaliate. The reason he left directly was to wait for Fa Hui to make a move.
No matter who you are, since you dare to offend Bai Ze, Bai Ze will not hesitate to search your soul and examine your memories.
Unexpectedly, this squatting down actually resulted in catching a fish that wasn't small.
Lakshmi, the evil deity encountered in the primeval forest, is also one of the sources of the resurgence of evil deity worship in the Xihai Autonomous Region.
If it weren't for the troublemaking Holy Luo Empire, the Martial Arts Association might already be warming up for the Fourth Demon Extermination Movement.
One of the warm-up locations is the Xihai Autonomous Region.
The evil god faction and the biggest suspect are obviously aware of the situation, and they are now doing their best to hinder Dongxia in order to prepare for future reckoning.
And so, Bai Ze encountered one.
As they spoke, invisible barriers appeared all around, covering the area with an invisible net.
At the same time, Bai Ze said to Fa Hui with a smile, "Now, you can invite the gods."
The frightened Fa Hui was hesitant about whether to invoke the gods, but after Bai Ze finished speaking, a certain thought took over his mind.
The essence and blood were burning, and a yellow light shot down from the sky.
A yellow mule appeared in the light, and a blue figure wearing human skin rode the mule and rushed into Fa Hui's body.
In the next instant, Fa Hui's entire body turned blue, and a bone spur protruded from between his eyebrows, cutting upwards and creating a vertical slit.
Then, the vertical slit opened, and an eyeball darted around inside.
The consciousness and power of Palden Lhamo are descending.
At that moment, the dark blue giant suddenly sprang up, his seated figure rising abruptly, his hands spinning like wheels, condensing into a crimson fire wheel.
