In the Western Regions, the disciples of the Vajra Sect were in disarray, their expressions filled with sorrow. In the center of the grand hall, an old monk with white eyebrows had his eyes slightly closed, his wrinkled face displaying a serene expression as his dry hands rhythmically manipulated a string of prayer beads.
"Baghdad Zen Master..."
The numerous elders and disciples of the Vajra Sect hesitated to speak. The old monk slowly opened his eyes and, in a voice devoid of emotion, said, "Since Sect Leader Jiang has arrived, please invite him up the mountain."
With that, he slowly walked out of the grand hall. The frail figure of the Baghdad Zen Master was bathed in brilliant sunlight, appearing from a distance like a benevolent Buddha, full of compassion for all.
"Master, let me assist you," a young disciple said with red eyes as he approached the Baghdad Zen Master to offer support, but was gently brushed aside with a smile.
"Hahaha, what a Baghdad Zen Master! What a slayer of evil monks!"
Jiang Han appeared in flashes at the square outside the Vajra Sect's council hall, standing opposite the high-ranking members of the Vajra Sect. Having decided to subdue the Vajra Sect, Jiang Han had naturally done his homework.
Everyone knew that this seemingly kind-hearted and well-known High Monk, the Baghdad Zen Master, had committed countless atrocities decades ago. The people in the martial world referred to him as the "Slayer of Evil Monks."
"To kill life to protect life; to sever karma is not to sever people!"
This Baghdad Zen Master had single-handedly eradicated the Eighteen Great Bandits on Taihang Mountain and destroyed the Seventy-Two Sects of the Demonic Path. Thirty years ago, he even fought over a hundred exchanges against Fang Zheng, the head monk of Shaolin Temple's Zen Hall, without defeat.
Even Yang Dingtian had harbored apprehension towards this unfathomable Baghdad Zen Master before entering seclusion.
Jiang Han now understood just how absurd Yang Xiao's claim about the Baghdad Zen Master being at Half-Step Martial Arts Grandmaster level truly was! This Baghdad Zen Master was clearly a seasoned expert who had ascended to Martial Arts Grandmaster many years ago!
It makes sense that over thirty years ago, the Baghdad Zen Master was able to engage Fang Zheng in a hundred exchanges without defeat, so he would naturally not be much inferior to Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng has been in charge of the Shaolin Temple's Zen Hall for over ten years. If the Baghdad Zen Master were truly that simple, Fang Zheng would have long sought out trouble with him.
"I have met the Baghdad Zen Master. What do you think of my proposal regarding Yang Zuo?"
As the strength of the Baghdad Zen Master and the Vajra Sect increases, Jiang Han's desire to recruit them grows stronger. Currently, there is only one Martial Arts Grandmaster in Manichaeism, and with a half-step master and the newly appointed Purple Robe Dragon King, Wu Xingyun, there are only five in total. It is unlikely that any of them will advance to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm anytime soon.
If he could recruit the Vajra Sect into Manichaeism, then Manichaeism would no longer be merely a name with insufficient strength but would truly become a first-class power.
The Baghdad Zen Master smiled kindly and said, "All conditions can be discussed, but before that, please forgive me, Sect Leader Jiang. As long as Sect Leader Jiang can safely receive three moves from me, I am willing to unconditionally lead the Vajra Sect to submit to Manichaeism."
Jiang Han looked deeply at the old monk, slightly furrowing his brow before nodding and taking his stance, saying, "Master, please!"
"Master!" Many disciples of the Vajra Sect trembled as they called out.
In their eyes, their Abbot was old and frail, and his movements were still inconvenient; how could he possibly be a match for the renowned leader of Manichaeism? The so-called agreement of three moves seemed like throwing an egg against a rock.
Only a few older elders of the Vajra Sect had confidence in the Baghdad Zen Master. Although he had not taken action for many years, no one in the Western Regions dared to ignore him. This was not about reputation; it was about strength!
"Please forgive my rashness!"
As soon as the Baghdad Zen Master's words fell, a brilliant light radiated from him as if he had transformed into a Buddha. His dry right hand suddenly became crystal clear, resembling pure glass.
"Compassionate Blade!"
The Baghdad Palm was like a knife, wielding unmatched power as it struck towards Jiang Han. This was the Compassionate Blade from the Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques, which the Shaolin Temple possessed, and naturally, the Vajra Sect, deemed "heretical," had it as well. This move, though called compassionate, carried the will to annihilate the world. To show compassion and save the world, one must first destroy all realms! The ultimate of life is death!
This was a technique devoid of any killing intent, yet it contained a blade intent that seemed capable of destroying the world. Jiang Han furrowed his brow at first but then nodded slightly, as if commenting on its precision. In Jiang Han's view, this Baghdad Zen Master’s strength could be considered top-tier even among all Martial Arts Grandmasters in the entire martial world.
As the Compassionate Blade approached him, Jiang Han's figure became ethereal. Under the pull of his energy, his sleeves trembled slightly, and he unleashed a surge of overwhelming energy with all his might. This was merely a casual action, yet the Baghdad Zen Master retreated three steps, his expression growing increasingly pained, and a glimmer of disbelief flashed in his murky eyes.
"Amitabha, sect leader Jiang is indeed no ordinary person!" The Baghdad Zen Master suppressed his shock and silently recited a Buddhist chant. Jiang Han raised his hand with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Does Master Baghdad wish to continue with the second move or the third move?"
The Baghdad Zen Master was taken aback for a moment before nodding: "That is only natural."
