What Goku and the others had just spoken of had indeed been done by Taishang Laojun and the others.
They did not want anyone else approaching Goku. The reason was that they feared Uchiha Shin would use ordinary mortals to pass messages to Goku. At the same time, they feared that Goku might regain his strength after eating some fruit or food from the mortal realm.
Worried, they had intercepted and killed these people, destroying their three souls and seven spirits as well, ensuring they vanished from the world forever.
They had not set up a barrier because the Five Elements Mountain had been jointly concealed by Tathagata Buddha and the others. Its power was meant to deal with Uchiha Shin and his group. It would not be easy to set up another barrier against mortals, and they did not want to make things overly troublesome, since there were not many people in the area.
They only needed to send a few gods to stand guard here. Whoever came near would be killed.
If they set up a barrier here, it would instead attract many cultivators to investigate. They would all want to know what was inside.
Beneath the Five Elements Mountain, Goku was furious. He desperately wanted to break free and kill those people.
"You can deal with me if you want, but why target those ordinary people? Despicable and shameless! You people can't defeat me, so you fear me and bully the weak instead, using them to bolster your courage and confidence! Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Cult Leader, Zhenyuan Daxian, you old bastard Tathagata, you old fool Maitreya, you bunch of despicable, shameless bastards—
When you can't beat me, you resort to such underhanded methods! If you have the guts, come beneath the Five Elements Mountain and
