"Perfect. Let the Heavenly Dao Saints see who really calls the shots in the Netherworld!"
Even the Heavenly Dao did not dare reach into the Netherworld. Who knew where The Two from the West got the nerve to cause trouble in the Underworld?
Xuan Qing stood to one side, watching with great interest.
"Nonsense! The evil ghosts in hell have all committed heinous sins and are forbidden from reincarnating for all eternity. What are you trying to do by this? Destroy the order of Reincarnation?"
Houtu's expression turned extremely unpleasant. The Underworld had its own order. Those evil ghosts were all unforgivable criminals; only by cleansing their sins in hell could they have even the slightest chance at reincarnation.
Ksitigarbha merely recited a passage of scriptures and "cleansed" their sins. If so, what was the point of the Underworld's rules?
"Why make it sound so serious, Fellow Daoist Houtu? They are merely evil ghosts in hell. As the saying goes, lay down the butcher's knife and become a buddha on the spot. They deserve another chance to live."
Zhunti laughed it off. Their purpose was to carve out an opening in the Netherworld and lay the foundation for the Western Teach's future plans.
"Buddha?"
Zhunti wanted to break away from the Mystic Gate so quickly?
Xuan Qing had not expected that before the Three Sovereigns were even born, the Western Teach already wanted to change its name.
"Whatever sins one commits, one must bear the consequences. My Underworld does not accept your nonsense. You want to force your rules upon the Underworld? Even if Hongjun came himself, there would be no chance!"
A flash of violet light crossed Houtu's brow, and an enormous Earth Yellow Lotus appeared, forcing the two great hands out of the Netherworld.
