Jiang Han glanced at Yang Xiao and the others, then swept his gaze over the disciples of Manichaeism. He slightly nodded and said, "My Holy Church never lacks prisons; just throw him in first. If he knows his place, treat him well. If he is unruly, then do as you discussed before and send a dozen pigs that have been drugged into his cell."
Yang Xiao, Tang Yang, and the others exchanged glances, while the Eighth Prince, who was being detained by the disciples of Manichaeism, trembled slightly, his expression particularly grim, as if he had lost his parents.
Jiang Han seemed not to notice and turned back to the main hall with his hands behind his back. "Where is Master Qian?" he asked, taking a sip of snow ginseng tea and frowning slightly. The Eighth Prince of the Great Zhou had brought Fu Qingchen, a strong figure from the Fusion Realm, to Bright Summit to cause trouble, yet Master Qian had not shown up at all. This left him feeling dissatisfied. Although Master Qian was a guest elder, if he did not take action on behalf of the Ming Sect, Jiang Han would not mind letting him know what he was capable of.
Tang Yang hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, not long ago, the Western Chu Royal Family harbored ill intentions and incited chaos in Xiliang's martial world. Envoy Yang requested Master Qian's assistance."
Although Western Chu had ostensibly 'given up' Xiliang Prefecture on the surface, they were unwilling to let it go easily and had been engaging in numerous covert actions. If it weren't for the formidable strength of Baghdad Zen Master acting decisively, the situation would have already collapsed.
Jiang Han nodded initially and then asked, "Is it quite serious?" If it weren't so serious, why would Master Qian, a Fusion Realm martial arts Grandmaster, need to intervene?
Yang Xiao continued, "Western Chu must have paid a hefty price to enlist an elderly Grandmaster of Martial Arts. Baghdad Zen Master was struggling to hold on and thus sought help from our sect."
The more he understood about the strength of Grandmasters of Martial Arts, the clearer it became to him that only those in the Fusion Realm could contend with others in the Fusion Realm. For someone in the Transcendence Realm to attempt to leap into battle would be nothing short of wishful thinking!
"Three days ago, news came from Xiliang that Qian Daoshang had engaged in hundreds of exchanges with that elderly Grandmaster of Martial Arts and has now pushed him back. The situation has largely stabilized," Yang Xiao quickly added.
"Indeed." A smile crept onto Jiang Han's lips as he spoke with appreciation.
"Master Qian's strength is such that even among the strong in the entire Fusion Realm, he would not be at the bottom. Now that he has cultivated Heavenly Tier Martial Arts, he is even more formidable. Even when facing the top figures of the Fusion Realm, he has the qualification to retreat calmly..."
After saying this, he seemed to casually express, "I didn't expect that the first to come looking for trouble with us would not be Cangjian Mountain Villa, but rather Da Zhou."
Jiang Han shook his head and waved his hand, instructing, "Everyone else can leave for now. Yang Xiao stay behind; I have something to ask."
"What's been happening in the martial world lately?"
Yang Xiao paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and said, "Indeed, there have been quite a few events in the martial world recently. The most noteworthy is undoubtedly the White Lotus Sect!"
White Lotus Sect? What trouble are they stirring up again?
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue, "What has White Lotus Sect done?"
The fact that White Lotus Sect could survive under the joint suppression of Daoist and Buddhist Dualism and the imperial forces shows their strength cannot be underestimated. Every time White Lotus Sect makes a move, countless martial factions tremble in fear of being caught in the crossfire.
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "White Lotus Sect has been very active in Jiangnan recently and clashed with Da Zhou, nearly seizing military power from Da Zhou in Jiangnan. Fortunately, the three ancestors of the Xiao Family intervened and joined forces with Da Zhou's military to repel White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to resolve."
In the Zongwu World, there are numerous martial families, but among them, nine stand out for their prominence and long-standing heritage. The Xiao Family, ranked first among all families in the Zongwu World, has maintained its position for a thousand years with unfathomable depth!
"What on earth has caused White Lotus Sect to go mad again?"
Jiang Han's mind raced, yet his expression remained calm as if he regarded this matter as just another ordinary amusement. It was none of his business; he kept it at arm's length.
This is Jiang Han's mindset at this moment. He couldn't wish for anything more than for the martial world to fall into chaos; that way, the actions of Manichaeism would not draw so much attention. After all, compared to the White Lotus Sect, the Jiangnan Xiao Family, and other major forces with thousands of years of heritage, Manichaeism, with only a history of five hundred years, is indeed lacking in depth.
Yang Xiao pondered for a moment and organized his thoughts, saying, "It is said that both sides are arguing over a precious treasure."
"Oh?"
Jiang Han's calm expression changed slightly as he became intrigued. "What kind of treasure could possibly provoke the White Lotus Sect to offend both the Xiao Family and the Great Zhou Dynasty at the same time?" Even though he had never fought against the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, he knew that her strength must be terrifying. From this perspective, the strength of the Xiao Family's ancestor must also be formidable.
"The Sky-Connecting Armory!" Yang Xiao stated clearly.
At the mention of these four words, his pupils involuntarily constricted.
"Is it really that legendary Sky-Connecting Armory that opens once every three hundred years and holds the inheritance of those above the Yang God realm?" Even Jiang Han, who was usually composed, couldn't help but stand up abruptly and gasp in surprise.
