270: Chapter 185 Tathagata Returns_3 270: Chapter 185 Tathagata Returns_3 All they were concerned about was whether the Buddha would punish them. “Since the Buddha already knew that the Great Emperor Ziwei was going to strike against the Netherworld, why not stop Sun Wukong and the others? If we could occupy the Netherworld for a long time, it would greatly benefit our Buddhist Realm.” The Master of the Black Nest asked bewilderedly. As high-ranking officials of Mount Ling, they were well aware that Mount Ling’s strength was far more than what met the eye. Only the Buddha himself knew exactly how much power he had accumulated over the years. Tathagata Buddha had always adhered to one principle: he would never destroy those who could be subdued, no matter how serious their crimes were. This was also why the Green Lion, White Elephant, and the Golden-Winged Roc made such grave mistakes, yet they still did not receive any punishment. Maitreya Buddha glanced at the Master of the Black Nest and said indifferently, “What do you think the Daoist Sect is? Or what do you think the Heavenly Court is? If the Four Heavenly Kings are in chaos, and the Heavenly Court cannot concentrate its forces, it would be extremely easy for the Heavenly Court to annihilate Mount Ling. Our Mount Ling has absolutely no power to contend with the Heavenly Court.” The Master of the Black Nest was shocked—was the Heavenly Court really that formidable? “The Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court are all powerful beings on the same level as the Buddha. If two of them join forces, they could suppress or even kill the Buddha. Not to mention, within the Heavenly Court, there are terrifyingly powerful figures like the Queen Mother of the West and the Eastern King, as well as The Three Pure Ones, who surpass other top Great Heavenly Venerates. How could we possibly counter the Heavenly Court or the Daoist Sect?” Maitreya Buddha asked with a sneer. Originally, the Master of the Black Nest and Boxun both thought that even if the Heavenly Court was powerful, it was only slightly stronger than Mount Ling. But after what Maitreya Buddha said, they suddenly felt an enormous pressure. So the Heavenly Court was that overbearing—they had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. According to Maitreya Buddha, not just one Mount Ling, even three Mount Lings would not be enough for the Heavenly Court to fight against. Thankfully, the Heavenly Court was in turmoil, they sighed in their hearts. Just at that moment, a hand emerged from the void and grabbed Boxun by the neck. Amidst the cries of shock, Boxun was snatched away. “Put him down.” Maitreya Buddha regained his composure and immediately roared. He launched an attack to stop the person who had sneak attacked from the shadows. However, the attacker simply blocked Maitreya Buddha’s attack by using Boxun as a shield. “Pfft.” Instantly, Boxun was hit, his skin ripped open, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out. He glared furiously at Maitreya Buddha—this guy wanted to kill him. Boxun had been struggling, but his newly gathered mana was dispersed by Maitreya Buddha’s blow. Maitreya Buddha’s old face turned blood red, and he said in embarrassment, “Sorry about that.” His face was full of awkwardness, realizing he had forgotten to make another move. The person who captured Boxun fled with him in tow. The Master of the Black Nest made his move, creating thousands of lotus flowers in the void, which swept toward the assailant. However, the assailant used Boxun as a battering ram to smash forward. Pfft. Accompanied by a flash of blood, Boxun was severely injured, almost torn apart. The assailant dragged Boxun away, escaping the scene. Maitreya Buddha and the others attempted to chase, but they immediately lost track of the assailant. “It’s definitely that monkey—only he has such methods and strength.” Maitreya Buddha said angrily. The aura of Sun Wukong was unmistakable—he was sure it was him. “What do we do now? He’s taken Boxun away—how are we supposed to explain this to the Buddha?” The Master of the Black Nest asked with a wry smile on his face. Maitreya Buddha glanced at him and said with a cold laugh, “Explain what? It’s his own incompetence that got him captured—an exalted Heavenly Venerate captured by another Heavenly Venerate. Doesn’t he feel ashamed? If he dies, he deserves it.” The Master of the Black Nest: “...” Seeing how irritated Maitreya Buddha was, he decided to say nothing at all. Maitreya Buddha’s status on Mount Ling was naturally higher than his, so there was no need to offend Maitreya Buddha over Boxun. Besides, his relationship with Boxun was never that good to begin with. “Let’s go back.” Maitreya Buddha said. Now that Sun Wukong had captured Boxun, attempting a rescue was certainly beyond their capability. In fact, they never even considered rescuing him. After all, their relationship with Boxun was really not that deep. When Boxun came to his senses, he found himself back in the Netherworld. Sun Wukong sealed his mana and handed him over to Marshal Tianpeng. “Little brother, your big brother has brought you a gift.” Mashal Tianpeng’s eyes moved over, and when he saw Boxun, they immediately turned red. “Boxun.” Marshal Tianpeng let out an angry roar. Boxun shuddered, feeling the overwhelming hatred Tianpeng had for him. This made his face pale, a bad premonition taking hold. “Marshal Tianpeng, the thing back then was ordered by Tathagata. It had nothing to do with me.” Boxun said with a pale face. Everyone showed a look of surprise. The discord between Tianpeng and Boxun was well known to almost all the Immortal Gods present. Back when Tianpeng had left Mount Ling to return to Gao Lao Zhuang, he lived a simple life with Gao Cuilan, indifferent to the strife of the Three Realms. Yet one day, Boxun suddenly attacked Gao Lao Zhuang. Not only did he kill Gao Cuilan, but he also massacred all living beings within a hundred miles around Gao Lao Zhuang. At that time, Tianpeng, who had only the strength of a Celestial Immortal, was naturally no match for Boxun, a Heavenly Venerate. He was nearly driven to demonhood by the disparity. Luckily, Sun Wukong and the others arrived in time to save Tianpeng. Afterward, Tianpeng became a disciple under the command of the Great Emperor Ziwei. Sun Wukong and the others, seeking revenge for Tianpeng, caused a huge commotion in Trayastrimsa Heaven and even clashed with Amitabha Buddha from the Pure Land. In reality, Amitabha Buddha was also used, set up by someone as a pawn.
