Maitreya Buddha shook his head helplessly, feeling a sting of pain in his face.
He finally understood why Tathagata had not gone to save True Lord Lingfeng just now. So that was the reason—he still had much to learn.
Maitreya Buddha apologized to Eastern Emperor Taiyi. "Your Highness, it was my fault."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not bother with Maitreya Buddha. He took True Lord Lingfeng and left Spirit Mountain.
Uchiha Shin and the Jade Pipa Spirit followed.
Tathagata glanced at Maitreya Buddha without saying anything, then returned to Spirit Mountain.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the others arrived before Su Daji's grave and had the Jade Pipa Spirit kill True Lord Lingfeng.
"Thank you for helping us, Your Highness. Without your assistance, those people might still be roaming free," the Jade Pipa Spirit said, kneeling to express her gratitude to Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"There is no need to say so much. You are descendants of the ancient demon race—my people. If those people bully you, then naturally I must seek justice for you!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi said.
"Many people are still living freely. I will never let them off!"
Uchiha Shin said nothing from the side, but he supported Eastern Emperor Taiyi's decision.
"What is the relationship between Zhenyuan Daxian and Su Daji? They seemed very close," Uchiha Shin asked the Jade Pipa Spirit.
The Jade Pipa Spirit said, "Daji was a fox Zhenyuan Daxian picked up years ago. He kept her at Five Manor Temple, and later she cultivated under him. Zhenyuan Daxian treated Daji extremely well, as though she were his own personal disciple.
"Later, Zhenyuan Daxian learned that Daji was also a descendant of the ancient demon race, so he had her descend the mountain to travel and gain experience. That way, she could also help Nuwa.
