One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!

Anyone could tell that this was a blatant attempt by Nadutong Company to force the issuer out of the company.

Everyone knows that various overseas entities are now eyeing Wudang.

Everyone knows that the esoteric Buddhist disciples had infiltrated Wudang Mountain a few days ago to spy on them.

Who doesn't know that the Quanzhen School of Talismans was massacred by the Western Holy Temple because it was implicated by Wudang?

It's obvious the company is trying to take advantage of the situation and force Wudang to hand over the Zhenwu Daozang under pressure.

"I agree."

Wang Ai was the first to raise her hand.

"Although my Wang family has had some friction with Master Li, when it comes to the greater good, my Wang family is still willing to put aside past grievances and do our part."

As she spoke, Wang Ai looked at Li Buren and gave him a sincere smile.

Lu Jin's expression changed.

I disagree.

Before Lu Jin could speak, Li Buren pressed him down with one hand and leaned back tactically.

"Why should the Ten Elders bother with my Wudang family affairs?"

"There's no need to take up everyone's time to discuss this matter further."

"If anyone has any objections, just tell me now!"

There was no wrangling as expected, and Li made the final decision without hesitation.

The ten elders exchanged glances, their understanding of the young Taoist priest deepening.

Zhao Fangxu sighed softly.

Li Buren understood his meaning. As a stability maintenance machine, the best method was not to let people inherit the Daoist scriptures and ascend to immortality.

Instead, they completely sealed away this possibility of ascension.

In this way, no one outside will plot against them, and they won't have to worry about a terrestrial immortal suddenly appearing in broad daylight.

Li Buren didn't care, and he didn't really intend to rely on others to help Wudang overcome its difficulties.

Let alone people like Wang Ai and Lü Ci, even if it were the Old Master and Lu Jin, so what?

No matter what, they are still others. If we have to rely on others to protect this True Martial Dao Treasure.

What's the point of proving the Tao or becoming an immortal then?

As the meeting ended and Li Buren was about to leave, someone called out to him from behind.

Looking back, it was Wang Ai.

Li Buren frowned; he really hadn't expected Wang Ai to call out to him.

In his view, shouldn't Wang Ai be someone he's sworn enemies with?

"Master Wang, what can I do for you?"

Wang Ai forced a smile and pulled Li Buren to a secluded spot.

Seeing that Wang Ai remained silent, Li Buren also became somewhat irritated.

"Wang Ai, what exactly do you want to do..."

Before Li could finish speaking...

"Thump."

Wang Ai knelt down with a thud.

"There were too many people inside just now, but now that I'm out, I'm kneeling before Master Li!"

Li Buren was startled by Wang Ai.

"Did you get addicted to kneeling last time? Why are you kneeling down to me again for no reason now?"

Li couldn't bear it and instinctively wanted to leave, but Wang Ai grabbed his trouser leg.

"Master Li, Master Li, please don't go!"

"The previous grudges were all due to factional struggles. It's all about the winner taking all, and I have no other thoughts about being less skilled than others."

"I admit defeat. I only hope that Master Li can put aside past grievances and stop being hostile to our Wang family."

"The Wang family's legacy has not been easily passed down. Although I, Wang Ai, am not very capable, I am unwilling to let the Wang family's foundation be ruined in my hands."

"Therefore, I sincerely ask Master Li to forgive me and the Wang family."

"I know that Master Chen Jinkui has completely submitted to Master Li, and I cannot make such a decision on behalf of the entire Wang family."

"But our Wang family is willing to help Wudang overcome this difficulty and do our utmost. We hope that Master Li will not hold a grudge and that we can live in harmony."

It can only be said that Wang Ai, as one of the four family heads, spoke with tears streaming down his face.

The sincerity and genuine feelings were almost overflowing.

Li Buren was also a little confused, wondering what Wang Ai was thinking.

"This isn't just a personality change, even a gender change wouldn't be this outrageous!"

Seeing Wang Ai's heartfelt apology and repentance, Li Buren felt no emotion whatsoever; in fact, he even felt a little disgusted.

"No matter what Wang Ai is thinking, as long as I ignore it, it won't have any impact."

With this in mind, Li couldn't bear to leave.

"Master Li, wait! Our Wang family is sincere!"

"We've had some news about the sanctuary lately; you might be interested!"

Wang Ai successfully kept Li Buren with just this one sentence.

"Why."

Li couldn't help but sigh.

If it were related to something else, Li would never interfere.

But now his hatred for the Holy Temple is incredibly strong, and even if he knows that Wang Ai is lying to him, he will not hesitate to venture into the den of dragons and tigers.

You better not lie to me.

...

"Have you brought over the church believers you captured?"

Li Buren and Wang Bing walked together.

Previously, Wang Ai said that the Wang family had arrested a group of foreigners who were loitering near the Wang family's residence some time ago.

They were detained and, after careful interrogation, it was discovered that they were believers from the church.

"The scale of this force is probably beyond our imagination."

"It seems that every notable force within our country has been sent by this sanctuary to gather intelligence."

"Moreover, the people sent out are not ordinary people; they are all quite capable."

"This shows that the scale of this force is probably unimaginable."

Looking at Wang Bing walking beside him and introducing himself, Li Buren really wanted to kick this disgusting guy to death.

However, his anger towards the Holy Temple was now too great, even greater than his hatred for Wang Ai and Wang Bing.

"Hmm, so where is that group of churchgoers you captured?"

Li, barely suppressing his impatience, frowned and asked.

Although he came seeking revenge, he did not lose his mind.

He chose a relatively open space and confirmed that the other party did not carry any modern weapons that could threaten him.

Only after he was certain that he could kill anyone who came by himself did Li Buren arrive at the agreed-upon location.

Wang Bing still seemed very unhurried.

"Master Li, don't be anxious. We also got a lot of useful information from that person."

"I've heard that there's someone in the Holy Temple whose cultivation level is on par with, or even slightly surpasses, the Old Celestial Master!"

Li Buren raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

"Not only that, he also has several top-notch warriors under his command."

Wang Bing became more and more excited as he spoke, but Li Buren became increasingly impatient.

"I have also heard that there is a contemporary saint in the church who is an orphan who rose from humble beginnings, but whose talent and character are unmatched in the world and is known as the number one prodigy in the West."

"He had a saying that is widely known, and almost everyone in the church knows it..."

"Have you finished spouting nonsense?!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Li grabbed Wang Bing by the neck and glared at him angrily.

Just then, a blond, blue-eyed man appeared in front of them. He looked tall and spirited, not at all like someone who had been captured in a disheveled state.

Wang Bing, however, revealed a sinister smile in Li Buren's hands, staring intently at him.

"I haven't even heard you finish speaking yet, that last sentence is..."

"THE GOD ARRIVAL!"

The blond, blue-eyed man roared, and his shirt instantly ripped open, revealing his body covered in tattoos.

Li Buren's expression changed drastically.

"No, no, it's not a tattoo, it's divine paint!!"

Sure enough, the holy cultist's body instantly shone with light, and a dozen or so people emerged from the shroud.

After more than ten people came out and surrounded Li Buren, Wang Bing finally spoke.

"By the way, that contemporary saint asked me to pass on a message."

"Li Buren, as the first sacrifice on my path to sainthood, you should be honored!"
