After Gautama Buddha returned to Spirited Mountain, he saw that Dipamkara Buddha and the other mighty figures of the Buddhist League had returned.
"How is it? Have those Immortals and Fiendgods returned?”
"I've recovered half of them, but the rest are nowhere to be found.”Amitabha replied.
"Capturing half of them is not bad.”
Tathagata nodded and asked Dipamkara Buddha.
"What about Dipamkara Buddha? How many did you capture?”
"This Penniless Monk is chasing the original Jie School disciples.”Dipamkara Buddha replied.
"After they left the Spirit Mountain, they fled to Golden Ao Island. When This Penniless Monk was about to capture them, Uncle-Master Tongtian attacked.”
"It is the Daofather's order that the Sage doesn't appear. M-Saint Tongtian actually dared to disobey the Dao Ancestor's orders and attack. Wasn't he afraid of the Dao Ancestor's punishment?”Gautama Buddha could not help but be shocked.
"I don't know why Martial Uncle Tongtian attacked, but he did.”Dipamkara said indifferently,
"When This Penniless Monk saw this, I didn't dare to attack again. I could only let Wudang bring those Jie School disciples back to Golden Ao Island.”
"This is the only way for a Saint to take action.”Tathagata sighed.
"Buddha, may I know where the two Sages are and what they say?”Dipamkara asked.
"The Sage's will is for us to continue our plan to travel to the West. As for the person who is plotting against our Buddhist Sect behind our backs, the Sage will naturally pay attention to him.”Gautama said.
"If that person dares to attack again, the Saint will deal with him.”
"That's good." Dipamkara Buddha immediately relaxed.
The person hiding behind the scenes was really remarkable, causing him to feel a chill down his spine.
He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would suffer the same misfortune as Rulai today.
Now that he heard that the Saint was planning to make a move, he could finally feel a little more at ease.
Then, he began to guess in his heart.
"Are you the one behind this, Master?”
His guess was not without reason.
There were only a few people in the world who had the ability to do this.
Among them, only Taiqing Laozi, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, and Goddess Nvywa had the ability and motive.
Nuwa was naturally the biggest suspect.
However, Dipamkara thought about it and felt that this might have been done by his former master, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi.
Based on his understanding of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, he would definitely not want to see Buddhism prosper and suppress Taoism.
It was only natural for him to secretly plot against the Buddhist Sect.
After all, Primordial Heaven Supreme could even plot against Sect Master Tongtian, a brother of the same bloodline, let alone the Two Sages of the West.
"I originally wanted to use the opportunity of Buddhism to earn merit, so I betrayed Chan School and joined Buddhism.”
Dipamkara Buddha sighed in his heart.
"From the looks of it now, it's not that easy for the Buddhist Sect to prosper.”
"I wonder if the decision I made back then was right or wrong.”
……
Heavenly Court.
"Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!”
Taibai Jinxing jogged and shouted as he rushed into the royal study.
"What good news can make you so happy?”
The Jade Emperor, who was reading a book, smiled.
"Spirited Mountain's spies have sent word that the Golden Cicada Master has wreaked havoc on the Spirited Mountain today and released the three thousand Red Dust Guests who were suppressed under the Spirited Mountain.”
Taibai Jinxing reported joyfully.
"Now, the entire Spirit Mountain is covered in corpses and rivers of blood.”
"Really?"
The Jade Emperor's face lit up with joy. He hurriedly put down the book in his hand and smiled.
"If that's the case, then it's truly a joyous occasion, a great joyous occasion.”
After saying that, he frowned slightly and asked,
"How dare the Golden Cicada Master do such a shocking thing?”
"Didn't the Buddhist Sect agree with His Majesty to banish the Golden Cicada Master to the mortal world to become a future Buddhist monk?”Taibai Jinxing smiled and said,
"Perhaps it was because of this that the Golden Cicada Master wreaked havoc on the Spirit Mountain and betrayed the Buddhist Sect.”
"I remember that the Golden Cicada Master was only a Primordial Immortal. How could he have such ability?”The Jade Emperor asked again.
"According to our scouts, for some reason, the Golden Cicada Master has secretly reached the peak of the Quasi-Sage Stage. He fought with Rulai, but Rulai couldn't take him down.”
Taibai Jinxing said with a smile.
"Peak Quasi-Sage? Since when was it so easy to reach the peak of the Quasi-Sage Stage?”The Jade Emperor muttered to himself.
"First Sun Wukong, and now the Golden Cicada Master.”
"That person who schemed against the Buddhist Sect behind our backs is really extremely resourceful.”
"Your Majesty is right. I wonder which mighty figure is willing to spend so much money to stop the Buddhist Sect from flourishing.”Taibai Jinxing laughed.
"In this way, the future Buddhist scriptures seeker will betray us. I'm afraid the Buddhist Sect's plan to travel to the west will no longer be able to continue.”
"That might not be the case. For the sake of the Buddhist Sect's plan to prosper, Rulai and the others won't admit defeat so easily.”The Jade Emperor shook his head slightly.
"Then may I ask Your Majesty, what should our Heavenly Court do? Do we still have to fulfill our agreement with the Buddhist Sect?”Taibai Jinxing asked.
"Let's put this matter on hold for now.”
The Jade Emperor thought for a moment before saying,"
"This matter is getting more and more complicated, the water is getting murkier and murkier, it is best for Heavenly Court not to get involved, we can just wait and see.”
As he spoke, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and his eyes suddenly looked up at the nine heavens.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Taibai Jinxing saw the Jade Emperor's expression and quickly asked.
"Sect Master Tongtian made a move from the Purple Cloud Palace. He scared off Dipamkara Buddha and saved the disciples of Jie School who had just escaped from Spirited Mountain.”The Jade Emperor said faintly.
" What?!" Taibai Jinxing was shocked.
"Didn't the Daofather order that the Saints are not to appear? How could Saint Tongtian dare to disobey the will of the Dao Ancestor, and in the Purple Cloud Palace?!”
"Chaos, everything is in chaos." The Jade Emperor suddenly sighed and said,"
"It seems that this tribulation will be more chaotic and dangerous than I imagined.”
"We have to be careful. If we're not careful, hundreds of millions of years of cultivation will be gone in a single day.”
……
In the Flowerfruit Mountain.
Zhang Li, who was busy comprehending the fragment of the Jade Creation Disc, suddenly opened his eyes.
"This sword Qi, this cultivation base."
"The one who attacked should be Sect Master Tongtian.”
"Didn't the Daofather say that the Saints wouldn't appear?”
"Could it be that because of my appearance, something changed before this? The Daofather lifted the ban?"
When he thought of this, he could not help but feel his heart tighten.
If the order to not send out the Sages was canceled, it meant that the Two Sages of the West could make a move.
If he was careless and exposed himself, he would not only face Buddhist experts like Rulai.
Instead, he was going to face the Two Sages of the West.
With his current cultivation, there would only be death.
"No, the previous plan can't continue. It has to be modified.”
"I have to hide myself even deeper. I can't let the Two Sages of the West catch my tail.”
