Rebirth of the Siberian Tiger: The younger sister is actually the reincarnation of the empress!

Chapter 372 Then please let Fellow Daoist Liu decide!
"Dean, they are extremely dissatisfied with our Dragon Kingdom's unauthorized establishment of the Heavenly Dao Sect as the state religion, and they want to see you, but I've managed to keep them there..."

Assistant Zhang said hesitantly.

The situation is beyond human control. These ancient sects are powerful now. Although the other side did not force their way in because they wanted to save face for their sect, he estimated that they would not be able to hold out for long.

He had already noticed that these ancient sects harbored deep anger towards the Dragon Kingdom for unilaterally granting the state religion to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Sigh, let's invite them all in!"

Dean Lin had a terrible headache and sighed.

We just got rid of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and now trouble has arisen again.

Moreover, this time, it wasn't just one ancient sect that came, making things really difficult.

But the state religion has already been established, and the people of the Dragon Kingdom all know about it; changing it frequently is absolutely unacceptable...

"Ok!"

Assistant Zhang nodded and quickly left.

Watching Assistant Zhang's departing figure, Dean Lin shook his head helplessly.

If the Dragon Kingdom hadn't been so weak, it wouldn't have suffered such humiliation.

These ancient forces are not easy to deal with, and they usually look down on the Dragon Kingdom. If we don't handle them well, the outcome will be unpredictable!
Not long after, Assistant Zhang led in four powerful, gloomy sect cultivators.

Among the two walking in the middle, one was dressed in a purple sword robe, with a celestial sword at his waist, and had sharp eyes; he was clearly a sword cultivator.

The other person was burly, draped in a black robe with wisps of fabric swirling around his face, exuding an eerie aura.

Of the other two, one was dressed in a white robe, with short limbs and a stout build, while the other was a middle-aged monk wearing a red and gold kasaya.

"Dean, this is Elder Xuanyuan of the Shushan Sword Sect, whose swordsmanship is unparalleled. This is Elder Youyuan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who has killed the Demon King of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace in the Northern Territory many times and is renowned for his prowess."

These two are Elder Qingyun of the Pure Origin Immortal Sect, renowned for their exceptional alchemy skills. This eminent monk is Elder Rongku of the Little Thunderclap Temple, a compassionate man who has repeatedly rescued Meng Sheng from dire straits.

Assistant Zhang then introduced the various positions to Dean Lin.

"Hehe, welcome to my capital, elders. Please have a seat."

Dean Lin quickly stood up, suppressing his worries, and greeted them with a smile.

After everyone was seated, Dean Lin led them in a conversation for a while, but they didn't get to the point for a long time.

"Alright, Dean Lin! Let's get straight to the point! It's really inappropriate for your Dragon Kingdom to establish the Heavenly Dao Sect as the state religion. It must be revoked immediately. What qualifications does the Heavenly Dao Sect have to be the state religion of this Dragon Kingdom!"

Elder Youyuan of the Heavenly Demon Sect impatiently interrupted Dean Lin's speech, speaking in a stiff tone.

"Indeed, establishing the Heavenly Dao Sect as the state religion was a hasty decision. Were the opinions of the major sects consulted?"

Sword Sect Elder Xuan Yuan also spoke with a displeased expression.

Although the remaining two did not speak, the way they looked at Dean Lin said it all.

"Elders, it is true that we failed to inform all sects of the establishment of the state religion of our Dragon Kingdom. However, the state religion has already been established and cannot be changed!"

Dean Lin endured the humiliation and patiently explained.

"Hmph, Dean Lin, I'm not discussing this with you. The Dragon Kingdom must revoke the order designating the Heavenly Dao Sect as the state religion."

My Shushan Sword Sect is the best candidate to be the national religion of the Dragon Kingdom. The Heavenly Dao Sect can protect the Dragon Kingdom, and so can my Shushan Sword Sect!
Furthermore, my Shushan Sword Sect can also send a group of disciples to patrol various parts of the Dragon Kingdom and prevent major cities from being invaded by demons!

"I think Dean Lin, you won't refuse the goodwill of my Shushan Sword Sect, will you?" Elder Xuan Yuan snorted coldly, explaining the benefits of the Shushan Sword Sect becoming the state religion of the Dragon Kingdom, while also carrying a threat in his words.

"This……"

Dean Lin broke out in a cold sweat; these ancient sects were truly unreasonable.

"Hehe, Dean Lin, what the Heavenly Dao Sect gives, my Heavenly Demon Sect can give in the same way."

If the Dragon Kingdom establishes my Heavenly Demon Sect as its state religion, my Heavenly Demon Sect promises to establish a Heavenly Demon Academy in the Dragon Kingdom's capital to train cultivators for the Dragon Kingdom, and the best among them can join the Heavenly Demon Sect.

At this moment, Elder Youyuan, who was standing nearby, laughed and said enticingly.

Upon hearing this, Dean Lin's eyes lit up. Heavenly Demon Academy?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Elder Youyuan finished speaking, Elder Qingyun of the Chunyuan Immortal Sect and Elder Rongku of the Xiaoleiyin Temple spoke up almost simultaneously.

"Our Pure Origin Immortal Sect can also establish a Pure Origin Academy in the capital. It can not only help the Dragon Kingdom cultivate cultivators, but also teach alchemy knowledge! Dean Lin, please consider this carefully!"

"Amitabha Buddha, our Little Thunderclap Temple, feeling deeply troubled by the scourge of the demon race, has decided to establish a branch temple in every province of the Dragon Kingdom. This will not only train lay disciples for the Dragon Kingdom but also help defend against the invading demon kings..."

Hearing what everyone said, Dean Lin was also in a dilemma. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Since you all think so highly of my Dragon Kingdom, why don't you all become the state religion of my Dragon Kingdom?"

The conditions offered by these ancient sects were quite good, and Dean Lin was reluctant to give them up.

"No! The state religion must be our Shushan Sword Sect!"

"Impossible! There can only be one state religion in the Dragon Kingdom! How can the Heavenly Dao Sect compare to my Heavenly Demon Sect!"

"Amitabha, this humble monk feels this is inappropriate..."

"..."

Unexpectedly, his words were met with a firm rejection from the various powerful forces. As they spoke, their gazes toward Dean Lin carried a hint of disdain.

The Dragon Kingdom is just a mortal country; to think that all its major sects should become the state religion is utterly naive.

If it weren't for the need to better recruit disciples and improve the reputation among humans, the Dragon Kingdom's hesitant and evasive attitude would have been enough to wipe them out.

Seeing this, Dean Lin knew that his suggestion was unrealistic and was somewhat disappointed. He then said with difficulty, "Elders, this matter is of great importance, as it involves the change of the state religion. I dare not act on my own initiative. Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom should consult its guardian deity, the Willow God, so that the Willow God can decide on the matter of the state religion. What do you think?"

Willow God?

The four men's eyes flickered slightly. They had all heard of the name of the Dragon Kingdom's Willow God. It was rumored that he was a figure similar to the Thunder Tiger King, except that his true form was a willow tree, posing no threat whatsoever.

The ancient forces behind them are not something that this mere Willow God can withstand.

Dean Lin's hopes were pinned on Goddess Liu, but it was all in vain.

"Then let this Fellow Daoist Liu decide! I believe she will give a fair answer!"

Elder Xuan Yuan chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly.

The other three nodded expressionlessly.

Even if this Willow God is strong, how strong can he be?
Lei Huwang was only spared because the Shushan Sword Sect didn't touch him; otherwise, if they had sent several elders, Lei Huwang would have been dead without a doubt.

Afterwards, the group led Dean Lin straight to the courtyard where Liu Shen was located.
