"I actually have some understanding of this."
A voice from outside the door belonged to Yang Xiao. Seeing Jiang Han and Yin Tianzheng had finished reading, he couldn't help but clasp his hands and smile.
Jiang Han invited him to take a seat and asked, "Envoy Yang, I grew up in Bright Summit, yet I have never heard of the Vajra Sect. Why is that?"
Logically speaking, as one of the strongest second-tier forces under Manichaeism in the Western Regions, they shouldn't be so low-profile!
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Leader, do you know the connection between the Vajra Sect and Shaolin?"
Jiang Han frowned and shook his head, "I do not know."
Having stayed on the mountain for so long, he was unaware of many hidden messages and couldn't help but feel annoyed at Yang Xiao's cryptic remarks.
Yin Tianzheng, wise with age, quickly replied, "The Vajra Sect is actually a branch of Shaolin Temple, or you could say it is a splinter sect. The founder of the Vajra Sect was actually a disciple of Shaolin Temple. For some unknown reason, there arose a significant divergence in both Buddhist teachings and martial arts, leading to their defection from Shaolin Temple and their retreat to the Western Regions to establish the Vajra Sect."
Yang Xiao also came to his senses, realizing that the person before him was a Martial Arts Grandmaster and the current leader of Manichaeism. He couldn't help but break into a sweat and said, "The Vajra Sect and Shaolin Temple view each other as heretics; every time they meet, it's all about fighting! By the way, the relationship between the Vajra Sect and our Manichaeism has always been good. This time when the Six Major Sects besieged Bright Summit, they were completely different from those who stood by idly or tried to take advantage of us; they helped us fend off quite a few forces from the Central Plains."
There was something he didn't say; in fact, the Vajra Sect was aligning itself with Manichaeism out of self-interest. The Vajra Sect lacked the strength to contend with Shaolin but was unwilling to submit to this old rival that would gladly eradicate their lineage. Moreover, submitting would be futile, so they were determined to follow Manichaeism to the end.
Jiang Han looked at Yin Tianzheng and, upon receiving his affirmative gaze, slowly said, "Then let's strengthen the ties between the two sects." The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Jiang Han had completely offended Shaolin during the siege of Bright Summit, severely embarrassing them. There was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides; it would be better to openly ally with the Vajra Sect and use gentle means to win their loyalty. After that, he would look for an opportunity to swallow them up!
"Master, whether it’s the Vajra Sect, Lingjiu Palace, or Blood-Dyed Sect, they may not show much respect towards our Manichaeism, but at least they do not commit any offenses against us. What I am more concerned about is Heavenly Union!"
Jiang Han responded with an "Oh," raising his hand to signal Yang Xiao to continue. Yang Xiao hurriedly shared his analysis: "The Vajra Sect is naturally close to our sect. Eagle Palace is composed of female disciples, and its strength relies entirely on Tianshan Tonglao. However, Tianshan Tonglao's cultivation method, The Eight Desolations and Six Directions Bow to No One, has significant flaws and has always maintained a non-aggressive stance towards our Manichaeism."
"Bloodfire Hall practices a rapid cultivation method that is extremely violent and despised by people in the martial world. Although they may progress quickly in the early stages, it inevitably harms their foundation. As time goes on, their path becomes narrower and less concerning!"
Yang Xiao stood up and paced back and forth, saying, "Our main enemy should be the Heavenly Union! In recent years, my Manichaeism has seen a decline in strength, while the Heavenly Union has been poised to rise and can no longer be underestimated. Moreover, the leader of the Heavenly Union, Xiong Ba, is an ambitious individual who will not be content to remain in a corner. In the near future, he will definitely seek expansion!"
Seeing Yang Xiao's earnest analysis, Jiang Han couldn't help but smile and said, "As expected of the leader of my Manichaeism's Listening Wind Pavilion; your intelligence-gathering work is commendable."
Yang Xiao noticed that Jiang Han seemed to take it lightly and urged, "The leader must not underestimate Xiong Ba! I have received news that Xiong Ba may have broken through to the Half-Step Martial Arts Grandmaster realm five years ago and has kept it a secret. His ambitions must be significant!"
Jiang Han nodded and looked at them, saying, "So, are we focusing our next efforts on striking at the Heavenly Union and temporarily letting other sects go?"
There can be no rest for others while we lie awake! The territory of the Western Regions is vast, but there is not an inch of land to spare! Even those forces friendly with Manichaeism clearly acknowledge that their territories belong to Manichaeism, even if only nominally.
Yang Xiao nodded, while Yin Tianzheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "What about the Kunlun Sect?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Han was somewhat surprised. "Isn't that sect at the bottom of the second tier? Do they have the strength to threaten Mingjiao?"
Yin Tianzheng explained, "This has nothing to do with strength. The Kunlun Sect is a peculiar case; despite being weak, they insist on jumping around and trying to make their presence felt. Moreover, in recent years, the disciples of the Kunlun Sect have become increasingly audacious, even openly taunting my Manichaeism!
However, if we really talk about the Kunlun Sect's opposition to Manichaeism, most of it is trivial and far from the loud claims they make! Given that our Holy Church was fragmented in the past and internal affairs were difficult to manage, we haven't been able to spare the effort to teach them a lesson, which has instead encouraged their arrogance."
"Teach them a lesson?" Jiang Han raised an eyebrow and waved his hand. "That's not necessary."
Then he looked at Yin Tianzheng and said, "Three days from now, I want to hear news of the Kunlun Sect being exterminated. Can Bright Hall accomplish this?"
Yin Tianzheng replied firmly, "Rest assured, my Lord! It's just a matter of striking while the iron is hot. If I fail to accomplish this, I am willing to present my head!"
