Chapter 275 Buddhism is Subdued by Empress Dowager Cixi
The royal prince revealed an arrogant expression.
"In that case, let's talk about our cooperation!"
He is a prince, and Xuan Kui is also a prince, so there is no question of him being afraid of Prince Xuan Kui.
But Xuan Kui still wanted to win him over, unaware that he was already Empress Dowager Cixi's zombie.
........................
Xuan Kui narrowed his eyes, then slightly raised his hand, gesturing for Count Beerus behind him to speak.
Count Beerus stepped forward, emanating a chilling and deathly aura: "Cooperation? How exactly do you intend to cooperate? We have numerous fierce zombies on our side; the zombie horde is not to be underestimated!"
"Hmph, so you're afraid of Taoist magic even though there are many zombies? Taoist magic is unpredictable and ever-changing. Do you have any way to deal with it?" Prince Xuan Kui snorted lightly, his face full of disdain.
He was genuinely frightened when he saw Chizuru's methods.
But now, he's striking hard!
"That's for sure!" the Tatar Corpse King said calmly, clearly not taking it seriously. He waved his hand and then continued, "The Daoist sect has many magical treasures that can restrain zombies, such as peach wood swords. We have already found a way to break this, which is to use the sheer number of zombies to overwhelm them!"
"What kind of method is this? Although there are hundreds of thousands of zombie soldiers in the capital, they are the capital to sweep across the world, not for you to use as a sacrifice!"
Empress Dowager Cixi reprimanded her with a cold face.
Most of these hundreds of thousands of corpse soldiers were Manchus, and he couldn't let them die under the Taoist peach wood sword.
"Of course! Haven't you already recruited Buddhists to your ranks? Let them charge head-on against the Taoist priests. Anyway, those Buddhist monks aren't afraid of Taoist magic, and they can even deplete their magical power!" Xuan Kui said indifferently.
Clearly, they weren't giving the bald monk a friendly look.
The four geomancers exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up: "That's right, Prince Xuan Kui is right. Although Mao Xiaofang was in seclusion for a while, he will definitely call on everyone to attack us. We must make plans quickly!"
"Hehe, aren't you Taoists? What, have you abandoned Taoism and joined the Qing?" Empress Dowager Cixi gently stroked the magic lamp and sneered.
"We have always been people of the Great Qing!" The four geomancers looked at Empress Dowager Cixi and said in unison.
"Hmph!" Empress Dowager Cixi snorted coldly.
Back when she was alive, these four great geomancers all had to call her "Old Buddha" and treat her with utmost respect.
Now that he belongs to Xuan Kui, he actually dares to look her in the eye; he's courting death!
Suddenly, she remembered the hardworking and dedicated Taoist priest Qianhe from Maoshan.
Although there were five great earth masters at the time, Chizuru was the weakest and the most obedient.
............................
"Although I have some grudges against the prince, let's see if I can bring him under my command!" Cixi thought to herself, but said slowly while looking ahead.
"I will personally speak to the Buddhist sect and order all Buddhists from various regions to return to the capital immediately. The Buddhists also have many methods; we will have them take the lead to test the strength of the Taoist sect and stabilize the pressure."
"but!"
At this point, Empress Dowager Cixi asked indifferently, "What are you going to do?"
She has already had the Buddhists intervene to hold off the Taoists, and then it's their turn.
Emperor Guangxu sneered from the side, "I'm afraid the Buddhist sect also has ulterior motives and wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger."
Empress Dowager Cixi glared at him: "I doubt they would dare. If they harbor any disloyalty, I will be the first to destroy them."
"Yes, yes, it's what my own father said!"
Emperor Guangxu was about to retort, but upon realizing it was his own father, he immediately backed down.
"Since Your Majesty can make Buddhism withstand the pressure, then I, Xuan Kui, will not sit idly by. I, Xuan Kui, will directly take command at the entrance of the capital and lead the Corpse Army to assist the Buddhists in dealing with the Taoist sect!"
Xuan Kui slapped the throne and said calmly.
"It's a deal!" Empress Dowager Cixi nodded.
So good.
This is beneficial to both parties.
I'll have the Buddhist sect take action. If your Xuan Kui army doesn't press forward, then I'll have the Buddhist sect join forces to wipe you out!
It's important to know that Buddhism also has methods for exorcising evil spirits!
........................
"Prepare the carriage to return to the palace." Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand, and the eunuch zombie beside her came forward to help her back to Cining Palace.
Xuan Kui watched them leave with an indifferent expression.
"Your Highness, are we really going to do this?" The Tatar Corpse King looked at Xuan Kui.
Prince Xuan Kui laughed loudly, "Haha, it doesn't matter. No matter what, the key is to gather our forces first, bring together the scattered corpse troops from all over the place, form a powerful force, and then march towards the Dao Sect in one fell swoop."
"Moreover, if we truly destroy the Taoist sect, we must be wary of the Buddhist sect, as their Buddhist teachings can also restrain us zombies!" Xuan Kui said solemnly at the end.
The Buddhist community is not a pushover; it's just a fence-sitter.
If, at a crucial moment, they could get the Buddhist community to turn against Empress Dowager Cixi, then a final battle with Cixi would be beneficial to them.
The zombies all nodded in agreement, agreeing with what Xuan Kui said!
