After hearing the words of the Glass Bodhisattva, Li Xiaotian felt like laughing. The Demon Lord had infiltrated Buddhism, becoming a menial monk, but was caught red-handed by the Buddha while trying to steal cultivation techniques.
He might have had a chance to obtain the cultivation technique if he had been caught, but he couldn't stand the loneliness and escaped directly, ending up with nothing.
No wonder the Demon Lord was so furious earlier. It was embarrassing to have such a disgraceful incident brought up to his face, especially in front of his successor. He certainly wouldn't be able to face it.
Li Xiaotian shook his head. The Demon Lord wanted the Buddhist sect's Pure Heart Mantra, likely to solve the problem of demonic soldiers. It was a pity that he didn't persevere in the end; otherwise, Li Xiaotian wouldn't have to make a trip to Buddha State now.
"Benefactor Li, if you want to exchange the Blissful Buddha Son for the Buddhist sect's Pure Heart Mantra, I'm afraid you won't get your wish."
The Glass Bodhisattva spoke. As the foremost Buddhist sect in Buddha State, and a sect inheriting the legacy of the Buddha, it was unlikely that even introductory cultivation techniques would be passed on, let alone the Pure Heart Mantra.
Even if the ancient Demon Lord personally infiltrated Buddhism, he would have had to sweep the scripture repository for a hundred years to obtain the Pure Heart Mantra.
Now, for Li Xiaotian, a Hegemon Martial artist, to expect to obtain the Pure Heart Mantra with the Blissful Buddha Son as his sole bargaining chip was sheer delusion.
This trade was probably not going to happen.
"Not necessarily the Pure Heart Mantra. I can't afford to offend the Buddhist sect, so I don't harbor any illusions about the Pure Heart Mantra. However, the Medicine Master Buddha Sect's Spirit Condensation Scripture has the same effect as the Pure Heart Mantra. Although its power is slightly inferior, it is still considered top-tier."
Li Xiaotian spoke. Since the other party had already guessed what he wanted, there was no need to hide it.
"Exchanging the Spirit Condensation Scripture for a favor from the Blissful Buddha Sect, Bodhisattva, you are getting a great deal."
The Glass Bodhisattva's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. He glanced at Li Xiaotian, then smiled again. So, the other party's initial goal was the Spirit Condensation Scripture.
However, he then thought of something else, and his eyes flickered, looking at Li Xiaotian with a hint of vigilance.
"Benefactor Li, if not for the matter of the Blissful Buddha Son today, how were you planning to obtain the Spirit Condensation Scripture?"
"How else? Steal it. If that doesn't work, then rob it. Bodhisattva, we're both sensible people. I must obtain the Spirit Condensation Scripture. Since you've discovered it, I won't beat around the bush. If you want to protect the Blissful Buddha Son, fine, exchange the Spirit Condensation Scripture for him!"
Li Xiaotian said with a smile, his eyes calm, but his words filled with a threatening tone.
To put it bluntly, he was determined to get the Spirit Condensation Scripture. Even if the Glass Bodhisattva refused to trade, Li Xiaotian would find an opportunity to obtain it later!
The Glass Bodhisattva's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, showing a trace of anger. After all, the thing the other party wanted was in his possession, so he should have held the initiative.
But who would have thought that Li Xiaotian would show no such awareness and remain so strong and overbearing?
"Li Xiaotian, I now know your objective. Do you realize that if I refuse to exchange, you will never get the Spirit Condensation Scripture! You can't easily barge into the Medicine Master Buddha Sect either."
The Glass Bodhisattva spoke, somewhat indignant. His strength was greater than Li Xiaotian's, and he held what Li Xiaotian wanted. Why should he still tolerate the other party's presumptuousness?
"Bodhisattva, you can try. You don't have to give me the Spirit Condensation Scripture. If you let me kill the Blissful Buddha Son, then the Blissful Buddha Sect will not be pleased, and your Medicine Master Buddha Sect will have no peace in the future."
Li Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a playful smile curved his lips.
"Presumptuous!!!"
The Glass Bodhisattva's face instantly turned grim. Li Xiaotian dared to threaten him in front of him, did he really think he was easy to bully? This was utterly disregarding him!
"Presumptuous? Bodhisattva, I advise you to think about the consequences before you turn hostile. I'm just stating facts, and you know it. Even if I put it more nicely, I doubt you would believe me."
Li Xiaotian sneered, his killing intent overflowing. Since they couldn't reach an agreement, it was time for a fight. He didn't believe the Medicine Master Buddha Sect could guard against him forever. At worst, he would first seize the cultivation techniques of the other three sects and then deal with the Medicine Master Buddha Sect.
The Glass Bodhisattva suppressed the anger in his heart. At this moment, he was filled with frustration. Clearly, he was stronger than Li Xiaotian, but he had to be suppressed by the other party.
To put it bluntly, it was because he wasn't as ruthless as the other party! And he had too many scruples, needing to consider the entire sect, unlike the other party who was alone and roamed far and wide with his Dragon King Hall.
"Li Xiaotian, are you really not afraid? Your wife and daughter are here. If you act rashly, aren't you afraid of implicating them?"
The Glass Bodhisattva said, his eyes flashing with a hint of annoyance. The other party also had a weakness; he didn't believe Li Xiaotian would still dare to be presumptuous!
"Boom!"
However, who would have thought that as soon as the Glass Bodhisattva finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from Li Xiaotian's body, and he then punched towards the Blissful Buddha Son next to him.
The Glass Bodhisattva's intentions were good, but he didn't understand Li Xiaotian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used Li Xiaotian's wife and daughter as leverage.
A dragon has reverse scales; touching them means death!
"Presumptuous! Li Xiaotian, how dare you?!?"
Seeing Li Xiaotian make a move, the Glass Bodhisattva was instantly alarmed and quickly intervened to block. His expression kept changing, filled with both anger and vexation.
He had only said a word, and who would have thought Li Xiaotian would attack directly? This was simply a madman!
Unreasonable!
The surrounding strong cultivators of Buddha State were also greatly surprised. The two were talking fine, so why did they suddenly attack?
"Boom!"
The Glass Bodhisattva neutralized Li Xiaotian's punch and quickly shielded the pale-faced Blissful Buddha Son behind him.
"Li Xiaotian, what do you mean? Do you really want to force me to fight you?"
"What do I mean? What do you mean! You threatened my wife and daughter. I think your Glass City is about to be drenched in blood!"
Li Xiaotian said coldly, his killing intent unabated.
"Damn it! I merely mentioned it casually! If I truly intended to harm them, do you think you could stop me?"
The Glass Bodhisattva quickly explained, cursing the other party as a madman in his heart. He had never encountered such an unreasonable person.
He would attack just like that, without any regard for rules.
Li Xiaotian looked at the Glass Bodhisattva, his eyes narrowed, and then he spoke unhurriedly.
"If you dare to touch them, the Medicine Master Buddha Sect will be annihilated!"
"You!!!"
The Glass Bodhisattva gritted his teeth. He wanted to retort, but seeing Li Xiaotian's bloodshot eyes, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.
He's gone mad! The other party has truly gone mad!
"You don't believe me? You can try!"
Li Xiaotian sneered, his long saber already appearing in his hand, a terrifying killing intent sweeping through the surroundings.
"Bodhisattva, Li Xiaotian, stop. Let's talk things through!"
Ah San, standing nearby, quickly blocked between the two. He was also utterly confused, not knowing what the two had discussed to suddenly come to blows.
In fact, the conversation between Li Xiaotian and the Glass Bodhisattva only lasted a few minutes. To outsiders, it probably didn't seem like they had discussed anything core.
"Hmph! Hand over the Spirit Condensation Scripture! I'll leave immediately! I can promise you that the Spirit Condensation Scripture will never be passed on!"
Li Xiaotian said with a cold snort, his tone overbearing.
The Glass Bodhisattva's anger intensified. He had never felt so frustrated, being manipulated at will by an outsider on his own territory. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
