Everyone was shocked to see Uchiha Shin actually nod.
Taishang Laojun had only said that as a courtesy, to make his words sound nicer and perhaps win over some support.
Yet Uchiha Shin had unexpectedly nodded in agreement.
The few of them had come prepared to use overwhelming force to subdue Uchiha Shin and take him away.
"Since Mystic Spirit King agrees, then come with us," Tathagata Buddha said.
"My nod just now did not mean I agreed to go back to Kunlun Mountain with you. It was merely resignation," Uchiha Shin said with a smile.
"Why do you say that?"
"I truly never expected the Buddhist Sect's two patriarchs and the Dao Sect's Three Pure Ones to collude with a demon. It is quite astonishing. What has happened to these three factions? Is there no justice left, only evil?" Uchiha Shin said, shaking his head again.
"Mystic Spirit King, even now you persist in slandering us? Stop struggling and come back with us!"
As Taishang Laojun and the others spoke, they began advancing toward Uchiha Shin.
Goku and Marshal Canopy leaped into the air and landed atop the city wall, standing beside Uchiha Shin and preparing to face the enemy alongside him.
"Taishang Laojun, are you planning to use your strength to subdue me and take me back to Kunlun Mountain?" Uchiha Shin asked.
"Mystic Spirit King, you have violated the Heavenly Laws. We must take you away. We absolutely cannot allow you to continue bringing calamity upon the mortal world. I hope you will not resist. You are no match for all of us joined together. Come back to Kunlun Mountain with us and accept the Heavenly Court's punishment. Your life will not be in danger, after all, since you have rendered great service to the Three Realms,"
