Buddhist Sect attacked? Duobao is stunned: Who am I?

The World of Journey to the West, Spirit Mountain, After searching the entire Primordial World, they couldn't find Jieyin and Zhunti, the disciples of Sect Leader Tongtian. They returned filled with rage. But as soon as they got home, they discovered their base had been raided.

Of the eight peak Quasi-Saint Buddhas of Buddhism, all disciples who originally belonged to the Western Teachings were wiped out, except for Tathagata, Ancient Buddha Dipankara, Vairocana Buddha, and Dinguanghuanxi Buddha, who were converted from Jiejiao and Chanjiao.

And it was completely thorough, to the point where not even a single soul fragment could be found!

"You... you despicable wretches!!"

Daoist Jieyin listened to Buddha Tathagata's report, suppressing the urge to slap him to death, and gritted his teeth, saying: "Duobao, Dipankara, do you have an explanation for this Venerable One?"

"I..."

Hearing this, Buddha Tathagata's heart sank. He could no longer maintain his benevolent demeanor, and he explained somewhat flusteredly: "Mas... Master, this is Tongtian's scheme. He, he did it on purpose!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Ancient Buddha Dipankara, at this moment, no longer cared about competing with Tathagata for the position of Buddha. He echoed in agreement from the side: "Sect Leader Tongtian deliberately didn't kill us. He just waited for you two to make a move, and then he would go out and spread rumors about you two, all to undermine Buddhism's prestige!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Master, you mustn't fall for it!"

Dinguang Immortal and Pilu Immortal also nodded repeatedly from the side, afraid that Jieyin would impulsively slap them.

"Hmph!!"

Daoist Jieyin snorted coldly upon hearing this. He also felt that what they said made sense and could only unwillingly change the subject: "If that's the case, do you know where Sect Leader Tongtian is most likely to be?"

"Where could he be?"

Buddha Tathagata hesitated upon hearing this. "Besides Biyou Palace and Golden Turtle Island, the place he visits most often should be Dao Ancestor's Zixiao Palace, right?"

"Zixiao Palace?!"

Daoist Jieyin nodded in realization. Indeed! They had already searched the Primordial World and the thirty-three heavens. Only Zixiao Palace, where the Dao Ancestor resided, had not been searched. Should they go take a look?

Thinking of this, Daoist Jieyin ignored Buddha Tathagata beside him and looked at Ancient Buddha Dipankara, who had also survived but hailed from Chanjiao.

"Dipankara, the matter of spreading Buddhist teachings to the East cannot stop. You choose someone to carry it out, and make sure there are no more mistakes!"

"I respectfully obey the Saint's decree!"

Ancient Buddha Dipankara's heart rejoiced, and he quickly bowed in agreement. Afterward, he couldn't resist glancing at Buddha Tathagata beside him. The meaning was clear: his era was about to begin!

However, before Dipankara could decide who to choose for the mission of spreading Buddhist teachings to the East, he received a series of distress calls.

"Reporting to the Buddha, Jinshan Temple has been breached. The abbot and all others have attained Nirvana!"

"Reporting to the Buddha, Daming Temple has been breached. The abbot and all others have attained Nirvana!"

"Reporting to the Buddha..."

Dozens of distress messages, all about Buddhist temples being attacked, left Dipankara utterly bewildered. What did this mean? Did they really think Buddhism had become a rat that everyone wanted to chase away, no, a soft persimmon that anyone could squeeze? Was anyone daring enough to come and provoke them? Truly despicable!

Growing angrier the more he thought about it, Ancient Buddha Dipankara was just about to dispatch a few Bodhisattvas to kill those who dared to take advantage of the chaos when he turned around and found no one behind him. Hmm... It seemed, perhaps, possibly... that besides the few Buddhas they had, the rest of Buddhism now consisted of minor figures?

"Tathagata!"

Dipankara scanned the Buddhas behind him, finally resting his gaze on Tathagata, whose face was flushed red.

"Our Buddhism is short-handed right now. Perhaps you could make this trip yourself?"

"...Amitabha!"

Tathagata Buddha raised his hand and chanted a Buddhist name. Suppressing the urge to explode internally, he silently nodded in agreement.

He couldn't help it!

Jieyin and Zhunti were already displeased with him.

If he were to clash with Randeng again, he, a traitor to the Jiejiao Sect, would probably be the first to be dealt with.

"Sigh~!"

Thinking of his days as the senior disciple in the Jiejiao Sect, Tathagata Buddha, also known as Duobao Daoist, couldn't help but sigh.

What kind of bewitching potion did he drink back then?

It would have been much better to defect to the Chanjiao Sect as an uncle-master, rather than betraying the East and joining the Western Teachings.

At the very least, his former Master wouldn't have revealed such blatant killing intent when he saw him!

Recalling how Sect Leader Tongtian had appeared before and slapped those unlucky souls to death, Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but shiver.

He knew very well.

When his life would end no longer depended on himself, but on when his Master would take a disliking to him.

"Yo? Isn't this Duobao!"

Just as Tathagata Buddha, filled with trepidation, arrived before a temple being besieged and prepared to act, a somewhat familiar voice echoed in his ears.

He looked up?

He saw a group of Jiejiao Sect disciples, led by San Xiao, looking at him with strange expressions as they turned their heads towards the side... the side...

Huh?!

Tathagata Buddha's eyes widened instantly. What did he see? He actually saw 'himself' in front of the Jiejiao Sect disciples?

No, that's not right!

To be precise, it was his past self from the Jiejiao Sect era, the true senior disciple of Jiejiao, Duobao Daoist!

But how was this possible?!

Tathagata Buddha subconsciously rubbed his eyes. When he looked again, he saw the younger version of himself, with a complex expression, approaching him.

"You, why did you betray the sect?!"

"I..."

Tathagata Buddha opened his mouth, about to say something, when he suddenly reacted.

"You, who are you? Why are you impersonating this venerable one? What is your purpose here!!"

"Who am I?"

A flicker of confusion flashed in Duobao Daoist's eyes. He also wanted to know who he was.

Was he Duobao Daoist, who was second to none in the Jiejiao Sect and admired by many senior and junior brothers and sisters?

Or was he Tathagata Buddha, who betrayed the Jiejiao Sect in the future, joined the Western Teachings, and became some Buddha?

"Duobao, what else do you have to say?!"

Bi Xiao jumped out from behind, pointing at Tathagata Buddha and unleashing a torrent of words at Duobao Daoist.

"To think Master trusted you so much, and you dared to betray the Jiejiao Sect? Are you worthy of Master's years of cultivation, and the trust of your fellow disciples?"

"I..."

Duobao Daoist, having snapped back to reality, opened his mouth. He really wanted to say that he didn't know anything, and that he hadn't done any of this.

But when he looked up?

Meeting Tathagata Buddha's face, which was who knows how many circles fatter than his own, but clearly his own, Duobao Daoist's composure instantly broke.

"Bastard, did you hear that? Are you worthy of Master's trust and cultivation?!"

"Die!!"

Saying that, Duobao Daoist summoned his magical treasure and hurled it at Tathagata Buddha without hesitation, looking like he wouldn't rest until he was dead. This stunned all the Jiejiao Sect disciples.

Bi Xiao: This, that
