You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 140
Chapter 140: Rank Seven Yama King
“Definitely can’t accept everything unconditionally. ”
Chu Tianlong said: “That old boy, the Saintly Radiance Sect Master, I’ve long been displeased with him! For so many years, he’s given us no end of trouble! ”
“Nonsense. ”
Mo Dao said: “Accept everything unconditionally? Can we even afford to? ”
“Hey, you little brat, asking for a beating, aren’t you! ”
“This old man sees you’ve grown tired of living! Come out and fight! ”
“I %￥*+·￥#ˉ々? ……”
“Young people are so full of energy! ”
Zhang Yundao smiled: “I really am getting old! ”
“Stop, stop, stop! ”
Qi Yun immediately interrupted the two people: “You two, why do you start fighting as soon as you see each other? Give me some face, go fight somewhere else! Don’t cause trouble in my Ru Men’s territory! ”
If two Great Ascension Realm cultivators were to fight, they could probably tear down his Ru Men in minutes; even a husky couldn’t be that fast.
“Humph! ”
“Humph! ”
The two Great Ascension Realm cultivators, who were about to fight, finally didn’t fight and sat down honestly to have a meeting.
“First, I think our strategy this time should be the same as before. ”
Yin Wanshan finally spoke: “We can’t accept everything unconditionally, but we can take in some children, as a way to inject fresh bl00d into the cultivation world. ”
“Finally, someone who speaks sense! ”
Qi Yun sighed: “Let me state my thoughts. Uncle Sam’s sects are essentially just the Saintly Radiance Sect; we’ll take in people… let’s see, at most one hundred people. ”
“Amitabha Buddha, isn’t that a bit too many? ”
Master Lingxuan said: “Our China has countless talents, what genius juniors do we lack? A mere Saintly Radiance Sect with less than fifty thousand people, and we actually want to choose one hundred people? Even Buddha can’t bear to watch! ”
“Master means…”
Based on their understanding of Master Lingxuan, the Seven Sword Immortals felt that this old bald donkey definitely had something up his sleeve.
Sure enough, Master Lingxuan continued: “Amitabha Buddha, the world is full of suffering. A lifetime is like a boat adrift in a sea of bitterness, unable to reach the shore. Buddha is merciful; may all the donors of the Saintly Radiance Sect… escape the sea of suffering and reach the Pure Land early! That would also be… a meritorious deed! ”
Everyone: …
Okay, that’s the familiar Lingxuan!
What a great “Buddha is merciful! ”
What a great “meritorious deed! ”
Yama King woke up to find himself dropped to second place.
“Little Monk Lingxuan makes sense. ”
Zhang Yundao said: “One hundred people… is indeed a bit too many. Let’s reduce it, how about ten? ”
Everyone: …
Yama King spaced out for a moment, and found himself dropped to third place.
“Actually, it’s feasible. ”
Yin Wanshan said: “The senior’s words are reasonable. What kind of talents does our Huaxia Cultivation World lack? Moreover, what they have in the Saintly Radiance Sect, do we not have? ”
“Then I’ll tell them, we’ll take at most ten, and let the rest fend for themselves? ”
“That…”
As soon as Qi Yun finished speaking, He Yuntian said: “I think… we can improve it further. ”
Master Lingxuan suddenly had a premonition that he would meet a kindred spirit: “Donor He, please speak. ”
“I think we can completely refuse…”
He Yuntian weakly said: “My He Family had previously contacted the American Cultivation World, especially the Saintly Radiance Sect… their new generation is quite ordinary! ”
Okay, Yama King is still angry, and suddenly found himself in fourth place!
“The strongest among their younger generation is the Holy Son of the Saintly Radiance Sect. But if his strength is converted to our cultivation realm, it’s only about Condensation Core six. ”
He Yuntian said: “Whether it’s Daoist Jingsxue’s Saintess Xie Yingqing, First True Disciple Su Qin’an, or Master Lingxuan’s Senior Disciple Yun Qizi, including my He Family’s own young talents, he can’t beat any of them.
In that case, I really can’t think of the meaning of our China taking in ten of their geniuses. ”
Everyone: …
Huh? That makes sense!
It’s just a bit… cruel.
“Then I’ll… refuse? ”
Qi Yun said: “I feel that Daoist He makes sense! ”
“Mm… makes sense! ”
The Seven Sword Immortals said: “This is the information gap! ”
“This old man also thinks it’s feasible. ”
Zhang Yundao smiled: “It’s just that, you should know the saying, ‘If you don’t eliminate the root, the spring wind will blow and bring forth new growth,’ right? ”
“Senior, rest assured! ”
The Seven Sword Immortals said: “Leave this matter to me! ”
The enraged Yama King looked up and found himself in fifth place, so he completely broke down, and slammed the table, expressing that the other four better never die.
…
Xie Yingqing returned to China for a few days before Zhang Keqiang became restless.
This restlessness wasn’t towards Xie Yingqing, but towards the Ghost Race.
Because Xie Yingqing had already told Zhang Keqiang that she had planted the Zhenlong Seal in the Ghost Race camps in the north and south of China, ready to go to war at any time.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Keqiang immediately became excited and contacted Commander-in-Chief Wu Lingyu of the Southern War Zone and Commander-in-Chief Wang Chuan of the Northern War Zone late into the night.
After receiving Zhang Keqiang’s order to “engage in battle soon, and act as you see fit”, both commanders were overjoyed, stating that they must push Yama King down to seventh place.
Killing people might have its burdens, but killing the Ghost Race wouldn’t!
Last time, Hu Dingyuan’s Western Theater Command suddenly took down such a large piece of land in the west, achieving such great merit; the commanders of the other four war zones were envious.
How many years has it been since China last fought a war? Wanting to establish military merit is as difficult as what?
Moreover, with China becoming increasingly stronger in recent years, other countries basically avoid China; who would be so blind as to come and look for a fight?
As a result, establishing merit is even more difficult.
The first large-scale proactive attack in so many years was taken by Hu Dingyuan, so that’s fine.
But the commanders of the Southern and Northern War Zones still hoped that they could also fight, and that their subordinates could also establish their careers.
After all, compared to the commanders of the Central and Eastern War Zones, they at least still have the opportunity to establish merit.
And those two…
One is deep inland; unless all the people in the four war zones are dead, he probably won’t have the opportunity to establish merit in his lifetime.
And the likelihood of such an event occurring is zero.
The other one is located in eastern China, facing the Pacific Ocean, and also facing the most mysterious and powerful part of the Ghost Race. Wanting to establish merit, they might as well wait for a few more years, until the wars in the three war zones of west, south, and north are over, before it’s the Pacific Ocean’s turn.
While Wu Lingyu and Wang Chuan were enthusiastically preparing for war, training troops, deploying tactics and strategies, and arranging personnel, in the Imperial Capital, Zhang Keqiang and Liu Qiming directly pulled off a stunt for Xie Yingqing.
Specifically, above the entrance to their penthouse duplex, they put up a sign that read “Glorious Home”…
In addition, a large First-Class Merit plaque was placed in the most conspicuous place in their home.
However, both of them were quite busy and didn’t usually go home to see it.
But this First-Class Merit and “Glorious Home” created a sensation in the residential area, scaring the entire neighborhood half to death.
It’s true, the saying goes that a Third-Class Merit is collected by oneself, a Second-Class Merit is collected while lying down, and a First-Class Merit is collected by family members. Ordinary people find it difficult to even see a Third-Class Merit, let alone a First-Class Merit plus a “Glorious Home”?
And when the residents of the neighborhood inquired, they immediately stated…
My god, there are actually two cultivators living in our residential area, and one of them is even an academician?
We’re also residents of a residential area with cultivators; when the cultivator school recruits students, can they give us some preferential treatment?
