The Complaint? What If Even the Buddha Patriarch Could Do Nothing About Him? Had the Test Only Just Ended?

At the foot of Five Elements Mountain.

The Five Directional Guardians watched that tall, imposing figure leave.

Their faces turned ashen. One by one, their fear and unease gave way to malice!

"Are we just going to give in?"

"Wasn't that damned Tianpeng supposed to have fallen into the Beast Realm while the Judicial Heavenly God was pursuing him? Why does he look unchanged, and just as powerful as ever?"

"Damn it! I've never heard of any connection between him and Sun Wukong. What gives him the right to stand up for Sun Wukong?"

"We've lost face today—we've lost everything! Fellow Daoists, are we supposed to swallow this? If we don't avenge ourselves, what will the world think of us?"

"Revenge? You still dare talk about revenge? How would you even do it? Marshal Tianpeng is so powerful he may be above a Daluo Golden Immortal. There aren't many Daluo Golden Immortals in the Buddhist Sect. Who would stand up for us?"

"This is a terrible loss of face for the Buddhist Sect. Surely the Buddha Patriarch would stand up for us..."

The Five Directional Guardians talked fiercely, though their courage was only skin-deep.

For all their harsh words, not one of them dared send word.

What if Marshal Tianpeng really decided to kill them, and no one in the Buddhist Sect backed them up?

Then they would die horribly!!!

"What if the Buddha Patriarch speaks to Tianpeng but doesn't punish him?"

That single question made every god
