Tathagata is being ganged up on? Jieyin and Zhunti have arrived!

Duobao Daoist's actions not only stunned Bi Xiao and the other Jiejiao disciples, but even Sect Leader Tongtian and Xuanming, who were observing from the side, wore expressions of surprise.

"This..."

Looking at Duobao Daoist, who was pummeling Buddha Tathagata into a daze, Xuanming, having recovered his senses, scratched his head.

"Grandmaster, I think I understand why you didn't deal with him!"

"You understand? Understand what?"

Sect Leader Tongtian glanced at the scene on the field, then down at Xuanming, shaking his head speechlessly.

"Do you think I'm not dealing with him? I brought him here to let him die with understanding!"

"Uh..."

Xuanming paused, muttering in surprise, "Grandmaster, I thought you didn't want to punish Eldest Martial Uncle for future mistakes with present actions!"

"Hmm???"

Sect Leader Tongtian savored Xuanming's words, nodding thoughtfully, "Not punishing Duobao now for future mistakes? Where did you learn such reasoning, kid? It's quite interesting!"

"..."

Xuanming's lips twitched. He didn't dare to say another word and quickly turned his gaze back to the ongoing battle.

The fight on the field had already entered its climax.

Although Buddha Tathagata didn't understand what was happening, he didn't just stand there and take the overwhelming onslaught. He summoned his magical artifact and began to defend, even counterattack.

As a result, Duobao Daoist began to struggle.

After all, he was tens of thousands of years behind Buddha Tathagata in cultivation. Furthermore, Buddha Tathagata had learned some new tricks after joining Buddhism. After holding on for a moment, signs of his defeat began to appear.

However, he wasn't alone. The entire Jiejiao Sect stood behind him!

After enduring an attack from Tathagata, Duobao Daoist turned to look behind him and shouted, "Martial brothers, aren't you coming to my aid?!"

"Coming!!"

Although Bi Xiao had been accusing Duobao Daoist of betraying the sect, as long as Sect Leader Tongtian hadn't spoken, he was still the senior disciple of Jiejiao.

Therefore, At Duobao Daoist's call, a group of Jiejiao disciples, including Golden Spirit Mother and Undying Mother, swarmed forward.

Now it was Tathagata's turn to struggle!

He was, after all, only at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Facing the encirclement and attack of several late-stage Quasi-Saints, and even peak Quasi-Saints, his newly formed physical body could be shattered if he wasn't careful.

"Everyone, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Subconsciously retreating dozens of miles, Buddha Tathagata looked at the Jiejiao disciples standing opposite him. While sending a distress signal to Buddhism, he forced a wry smile and stalled for time, saying, "I'm still utterly confused about what's happening. Even if I'm to die, shouldn't I die with understanding?"

"What is there not to understand?"

Bi Xiao put her hands on her hips and pointed at Buddha Tathagata's nose, shouting angrily, "You scoundrel betrayed Jiejiao and committed countless evils! We've come from the past to deal with you!"

"This..."

Tathagata was stunned. What did she mean, "come from the past to deal with him"? Could it be that they could already leap out of the river of time?

Impossible!

Let alone Quasi-Saints like himself, even a Saint facing them wouldn't be able to do that.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and even his former Master, Sect Leader Tongtian, who among them dared to claim they could freely traverse the river of time?

Let alone bringing such a large group to traverse the river of time!

Impossible!

This was absolutely impossible!

They must be using the guise of these former Jiejiao disciples to suppress Buddhism, backed by some hidden power that dared not reveal itself!

It had to be!

Convinced he had figured it all out, Buddha Tathagata's wavering heart instantly stabilized.

"Amitabha!"

He softly chanted the Buddhist name and stared at the Jiejiao disciples opposite him, his tone filled with disdain.

"Coward hiding in the shadows, do you dare reveal your true forms to face me?"

Saying this, and seeing the stunned expressions on their faces, Tathagata felt he had indeed guessed correctly. He immediately added, "Since you dare to attack my Buddhism, aren't you afraid of retaliation? Hiding in the shadows is useless before the Saints!"

"Oh? Is that so!"

Hearing Tathagata's increasingly arrogant tone, Sect Leader Tongtian could no longer hold back and revealed himself from mid-air.

"Duobao, I've appeared. What do you want to say?"

"???"

Buddha Tathagata's expression froze on his face, and the words that had reached his lips were swallowed back down.

What did he want to say?

Shouldn't the question be what dare he say?

What could he say!

Good heavens!

Back then, when Yuanshi Tianzun and the others were beating us black and blue, you old rascal couldn't be found anywhere.

And now?

He just left the Jiejiao Sect and joined the Western Teachings. Do you, a Saint, find it interesting to chase and kill him like this?

It's not interesting at all!

The more Buddha Tathagata thought about it, the more his defenses crumbled. Just as he was about to lie down and accept the mockery, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air above.

Then, the gritted teeth voices of Fellow Daoist Jieyin and Fellow Daoist Zhunti echoed through the air.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you've made us search hard for you!"

"Oh?"

Sect Leader Tongtian seemed to have discovered their presence long ago. Hearing this, he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and stared at them.

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, may I ask why you are looking for this venerable one? Could it be that you wish to offer this venerable one an apology?"

Saying this, without waiting for Jieyin and Zhunti to answer, Tongtian, facing their stiff expressions, waved his hand magnanimously.

"I told you long ago, what's past is past, there's no need to dwell on it!"

"Look? I don't recall you two ganging up on this venerable one and fighting for three days and three nights, only to still fail to defeat this venerable one!"

"This venerable one remembers correctly, right?"

"You?!"

Being seized upon by Tongtian, Jieyin and Zhunti's already troubled expressions turned even uglier.

However, listening to Tongtian's sharp tone, a hint of doubt arose in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, it's been many years, and your changes are quite significant!"

"Really? I think so too!"

Sect Leader Tongtian nodded in agreement.

He had noticed it too.

Ever since he learned that his two brothers had shamelessly attacked his disciples, he felt a sense of release, as if all his shackles had been cast aside.

Back then, no matter when, he would see the disciples of the Chanjiao, or even the disciples of the Western Teachings, and treat them as his own disciples.

After all, adults' matters shouldn't involve children, wasn't that the most basic principle?

But now?

Nonsense!

If Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun could do it, why couldn't this venerable one?

Let alone people from the Western Teachings, even if he saw the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao now, he could kill them all with a single slap each!

"You?!"

Jieyin and Zhunti clearly hadn't expected Sect Leader Tongtian's transformation to be so drastic, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say. It was only when Randeng and the others arrived that the stalemate was broken.

"Master, something's wrong, something's wrong!"
