The situation had put the Great Sun Buddha Emperor and the others in a dilemma.
Neither side had come to blows yet, but the Great Sun Buddha Emperor already felt immense pressure. Fang Chen was no ordinary opponent. If they truly could not defeat him this time, the Buddhist Kingdom might cease to exist. Or it might survive, but with someone else ruling it.
The Great Sun Buddha Emperor felt as though his head were about to burst.
"That damned Fang Chen!"
The Great Sun Buddha Emperor gnashed his teeth in fury.
The Dragon Subduing Buddha Emperor looked at him and asked, "Buddha Lord, are we really going to kill those who want to go to Heavenly Buddha City?"
Killing intent flared in the Great Sun Buddha Emperor's eyes. Through gritted teeth, he said, "Kill them. Anyone who dares betray us—kill them all!"
"Yes!"
Seeing how resolute the Great Sun Buddha Emperor was, the Dragon Subduing Buddha Emperor and the others could only obey his orders.
But although he obeyed aloud, the Dragon Subduing Buddha Emperor felt deeply uneasy. Those were people of their own Buddhist Land, yet now they had to turn on them.
Soon, after receiving the orders, the Buddhist Kingdom's warriors set out to intercept the Buddhist Cultivators who wanted to go to Heavenly Buddha City. They attacked without hesitation, and rivers of blood flowed through the Buddhist Land.
"You've gone too far! Didn't the Buddha Patriarch preach freedom and equality? Why are you stopping us now?"
"Exactly! Why are you killing your own people?"
"You're demons! You've finally shown your claws and fangs!"
The Buddhist Cultivators stopped by the Buddhist Kingdom's warriors were furious. They denounced the warriors' crimes one after another.
"Hmph! You've betrayed the Buddhist Kingdom and the Buddha Patriarch. You deserve to die!"
