The Three Pure Ones stepped forward and looked over the Buddhist Sect disciples.
"Everyone, the Dao Sect and Buddhist Sect are on friendly terms now. The Three Realms have already endured such conflict; we must develop in peace. Why are you doing something like this now?" Taishang Laojun asked the crowd.
"It was your Dao Sect people who attacked our Buddhist Sect first! You wanted to treat us like soft persimmons and crush us, but the Buddhist Sect will never stand by and do nothing."
"Even if our strength cannot compare to yours, we are not afraid! We would rather die than let you butcher us at will!"
The Buddhist Sect disciples began shouting again.
"Quiet down. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, come forward," Tathagata Buddha said.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and walked forward with King Qin Luo and the others.
The Three Pure Ones looked toward King Qin Luo. With his head lowered, King Qin Luo did not dare look at them or say a word.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, what exactly is going on?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked, looking at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Given the current circumstances, they knew they could not admit it and had to pretend they knew nothing. Otherwise, this matter would truly be difficult to settle.
"King Qin Luo, tell them." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva glanced at King Qin Luo beside him.
King Qin Luo nodded and truthfully recounted what had happened.
The Three Pure Ones' expressions darkened somewhat. They had not expected King Qin Luo to reveal the truth. They had trusted this King Qin Luo, so it was completely beyond their expectations that he would expose such a matter now.
After looking at King Qin Luo, they seemed to understand something. King Qin Luo had likely been taught a lesson by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva; otherwise, he would not have spoken this way.
