Just as Yuanshi Tianzun was under immense pressure and about to collapse, a Taiji Diagram emitting multicolored auspicious light suddenly flew over from afar.

"Boom~!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

A series of muffled sonic booms echoed in the chaos.

"Senior Brother Taishang?!"

Jieyin and Zhunti's internal alarms blared. They instinctively pulled back, restraining Yuanshi Tianzun from breaking free while simultaneously extending their divine senses to search for Taishang Laojun in the chaos.

"Alas~!"

A faint sigh echoed from all directions.

Taishang Laojun still hadn't appeared, but his voice, tinged with a hint of anger, accurately reached the ears of everyone present.

"Junior Brother Jieyin, Junior Brother Zhunti, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of Master's reprimand!"

"Senior Brother, you should be asking Senior Brother Yuanshi that question!"

A flash of horror crossed Jieyin's eyes, but his tone was unusually firm. "We just finished our cultivation in the chaos. As soon as we returned to the Primordial World, we saw Senior Brother Yuanshi shamelessly bullying the juniors of our Buddhism?"

"May I ask, Senior Brother, what does Senior Brother Yuanshi mean by this?"

"I... you're spouting nonsense!"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun felt a little guilty, he recalled the preceding events of Buddhism attacking them and shifted the focus to question Jieyin:

"Jieyin, you keep saying I attacked your Buddhist juniors, but have you considered whether they offended me first?"

Without waiting for Jieyin to reply, Yuanshi Tianzun sneered and slapped a big hat on him.

"What?"

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'A Saint cannot be insulted'?"

"Since they dared to openly attack me, Senior Brother, and even Master's reputation, what is wrong with me taking action against them?!"

"You?!"

Jieyin was left speechless, looking as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

It couldn't be helped!

After all, what Yuanshi Tianzun said were facts.

A Saint cannot be insulted!

Wasn't the cause of the Investiture of the Gods war initially due to an emperor in the lower realm mocking Nuwa's statue?

Not to mention Tathagata's blatant attack on the Heavenly Court this time!

If Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't been at the Heavenly Court, it would have been fine, but this old fellow happened to be there at the time...

"Senior Brother, isn't that inappropriate?"

Seeing Jieyin rendered speechless, Zhunti couldn't stand it anymore and snorted, "Didn't your Chanjiao and Renjiao disrespect Master first?"

"The eastward transmission of Buddhist teachings was personally decreed by Master, and you all agreed to it!"

"And now?"

"As soon as it begins, you kill our Buddhist reincarnated Buddha-sons, and even Guanyin met with misfortune because of it."

"Isn't this a disregard for Master and an infringement upon us Saints?!"

"Heh heh... yes!"

Facing Zhunti's accusation, Yuanshi Tianzun sneered twice and readily admitted it.

However, before Jieyin and Zhunti could feel pleased, they heard Yuanshi Tianzun mockingly say, "We agreed to let your Buddhism spread teachings in the East, but you yourselves are not living up to expectations. Who can you blame?"

"The Buddha-son is dead, Guanyin is dead, so what?"

"What does it have to do with my Heavenly Court?"

"Instead of finding the real murderer to hold accountable, you launch a large-scale attack on my Heavenly Court. Are you trying to bully Chanjiao by saying we have no one?"

"Or do you think that since Master doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, you can arbitrarily kill his Dao boys?"

"???"

As Yuanshi Tianzun's words fell, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed drastically. Jieyin stammered, asking, "Shi... Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? Did... didn't you do it?"

"Nonsense!"

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted impatiently, "Jieyin, if it weren't for the fact that we are fellow disciples, your slander against me and Senior Brother would be enough for us to fight you to the death!"

"..."

Jieyin was completely stunned. He exchanged a look with Zhunti beside him, their eyes filled with bewildered fear.

Damn it!

What's going on?

If this wasn't the Heavenly Court's doing, then what were their actions just now?

Provocation?

Looking for trouble for no reason?

Especially when he thought about how he had just slapped and killed Haotian and tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers...

"No, impossible!"

The sorrow on Jieyin's face, already full of suffering, deepened, and his tone was filled with disbelief. "In this world, besides the Heavenly Court, besides you, who else dares to offend my Buddhism like this?"

"Why wouldn't there be?!"

This time, before Yuanshi Tianzun could speak, Taishang Laojun on the side said leisurely, "Fellow Daoist Jieyin, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, have you forgotten about junior brother Tongtian? He hates you quite a bit!"

"..."

Jieyin closed his eyes in pain. It wasn't that he hadn't considered this possibility, but now he wished it didn't exist.

It's over!

What should we do now?

The Heavenly Court is already destroyed, and Yuanshi Tianzun has been beaten. Should I tell them now that I misunderstood them?

Are you kidding me!

How could that old schemer Yuanshi let this go?

However, just as Jieyin was at a loss, Yuanshi Tianzun took the initiative to give him a way out.

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, considering that your Buddhism has also suffered considerable losses this time, I will not hold you accountable!"

"But there's one thing you need to make clear: who exactly is damaging my reputation!"

"Do you understand?!"

"This... Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin instantly understood Yuanshi Tianzun's meaning. With a serious expression, he promised, "Senior Brother Yuanshi, don't worry, no matter who did this, I will make them pay the price they deserve!"

"That's good~!"

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled with satisfaction. After exchanging a glance with Taishang Laojun, he put away his magic treasure and disappeared into the chaos, leaving Jieyin and Zhunti looking at each other in dismay.

"Senior Brother, what do we do now?"

Zhunti put away his magic treasure with some annoyance and gritted his teeth. "The Three Pure Ones are one. Even if this was really done by that old scoundrel Tongtian, I don't believe they are unaware!"

"So what if they know? So what if they don't?"

A murderous intent flashed in Jieyin's eyes. "Whether they want to use us to teach Tongtian a lesson, or if they truly don't know, it doesn't matter anymore."

"What matters is that Tongtian must pay the price!"

"Exactly!!"

Zhunti also realized that with the heavy losses suffered by Buddhism this time, they had to find someone to take responsibility.

And Sect Leader Tongtian, who was ostracized by the Three Pure Ones, was obviously a good candidate!

"Let's go!"

With their minds made up, Jieyin and Zhunti, no longer caring about returning to the Primordial World, headed straight for Biyou Palace with murderous intent.

Unfortunately, When they arrived at Biyou Palace, they were greeted by an empty palace. Not even the birds and beasts inside were left.

"He ran away?"

"This..."

Looking at the empty Biyou Palace before them, Jieyin and Zhunti were dumbfounded. When did Sect Leader Tongtian become so cowardly?

Something's wrong!

Something is twelve thousand percent wrong!

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
