Were they willing? No.
This was the Eastern Sovereign Bell.
How could they hand the Eastern Sovereign Bell over to the Buddhist Sect just because Randeng said so? The Buddhist Sect was indeed powerful.
But it was merely powerful.
It had yet to reach the point of being invincible within the Three Realms. Therefore, there was no need to fear the Buddhist Sect.
