We're Being Unreasonable-Come Hit Us If You Dare
At that time, Jie Yin wasn't much better, except that he considered one more thing than Zhunti: that Qing Xuanzi was not the kind of person who would go back on his word.
He realized it in an instant.
"Zhen Yuanzi, you have all heard it. My junior brother and I have already betrayed the Xuanmen. Now that the Dao Ancestor is still the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, do you dare to disobey the Dao Ancestor's decree?"
Upon hearing Jie Yin's words, Zhunti, Zhunti was in despair, suddenly realized that the Dao Ancestor's decree was not aimed at him and his fellow disciples, but rather was an assist.
After all, the two of them came here to seize power, not to destroy Buddhism.
Although the Dao Ancestor's decree stated that they had betrayed the religion, the most important thing he acknowledged was that they, his fellow disciples, were Buddhism.
Furthermore, he explicitly stated that he was the founder of Buddhism.
After Zhunti understood, he perked up and picked up where Jie Yin, saying, "My senior brother is right. We are the founders of Buddhism, while you are merely the administrators of Buddhism appointed by Heaven. We now feel that it is better to manage it directly ourselves."
Zhen Yuanzi was completely stunned. Could someone be this shameless?
It's all a robber's logic: I founded Buddhism, so you can leave now.
"My position as the leader of Buddhism was personally appointed by Heaven. You are simply making unfounded claims."
Zhunti chuckled, "We're just making excuses. Go ahead and hit me." But he said, "You're right, but the Dao Ancestor has personally conferred upon me the title of founder of Buddhism. A conferment by Heaven can be revoked, can't it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi nearly exploded with anger. When did the Dao Ancestor appoint you as the leader of Buddhism?
He clearly said you were a traitor to the Xuanmen sect.
"The Dao Ancestor did not bestow any title upon you," Zhen Yuanzi said through gritted teeth, his face ashen.
"It's been shut down, isn't it? You founded Buddhism, didn't you hear? Isn't the one who founded Buddhism the founder of Buddhism?" Zhunti was secretly pleased, but he was still a bit naive.
Sure enough, the question immediately shifted from whether we are Buddhism to whether we are the founders of Buddhism.
Hehe, if I don't spare you, I'm not Zhunti.
Zhen Yuanzi's face turned ashen, then green with rage. He was at his wit's end and could only call for help from his backer.
"We report to the Heavenly Court that Jieyin and Zhunti have been disturbing Buddhism without cause. We beseech the Heavenly Court to take charge."
The Heavenly Dao was watching this place closely, and as soon as it saw Zhen Yuanzi calling upon the Heavenly Dao, it immediately came out to support him.
A blurry figure appeared in the air.
"Zhen Yuanzi, what is it?"
"Heavenly Dao, Jieyin and Zhunti ..." Zhen Yuanzi poured out all his bitterness.
Heaven's will naturally favor Zhen Yuanzi, since he was the one who established the person, and he can't very well contradict himself.
"Jie Yin and Zhunti, how dare you!"
Jie Yin and Zhunti shuddered, their hearts already calling out Qing Xuanzi's name countless times.
Perhaps Qing Xuanzi heard their shouts, for Qing Xuanzi voice rang out. "Oh, isn't this the Heavenly Dao? What? Has it come to handle matters in person?"
How could Heaven not understand Qing Xuanzi's sarcasm? "You walk yourself? Does someone else walk for you?"
"Qing Xuanzi, are you going to interfere?"
"What? You're allowed to do whatever you want, but I'm not allowed to correct you?"
If the Heavenly Dao's figure were any clearer, it would surely be covered in black.
Qing Xuanzi directly accused the Heavenly Dao of being nonsensical, claiming he was there to set things right. His words infuriated the Heavenly Dao.
"Qing Xuanzi, could you be any more shameless?"
Am I a scoundrel?
"You..." As if remembering something, the Heavenly Dao stopped its pointless verbal sparring, calmed down, and continued speaking.
"Zhen Yuanzi, Nether River, and Ran Deng are Buddhism leaders personally appointed by my Heavenly Dao. Can't I, the Heavenly Dao, appoint them as leaders myself?"
"No, the responsibility of the Heavenly Dao is to operate the rules of heaven and earth, not to interfere with the sects of the Primordial World beings. This matter falls within the scope of the Heavenly Dao's representative's duties."
Qing Xuanzi showed no mercy to the Heavenly Dao and directly refuted it.
This is the basis for his efforts to set things right.
Heaven was so angry it felt like its teeth were aching, but it couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it, so it could only remain silent.
The Heavenly Dao remained silent, but Zhen Yuanzi and the others became anxious. "Great Heavenly Dao, you can't stay silent!"
If you remain silent, will there still be a place for us in this Primordial World?
Zhen Yuanzi gritted his teeth and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation for the Heavenly Dao: "Qing Xuanzi, Heavenly Venerable..."
"How dare you! Do you have the right to speak when Qing Xuanzi and the Heavenly Dao are negotiating?" Zhunti wasn't stupid either. Seeing that the situation was in his favor and Zhen Yuanzi was clearly trying to make amends, he immediately interrupted him.
Qing Xuanzi glanced at Zhunti with satisfaction: This guy has a good eye.
Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was being obstructed, the Heavenly Dao released a powerful aura that pressed down on Jieyin and Zhunti.
How could Qing Xuanzi let him succeed? With a slight flick of his left hand, he erected a barrier around Jieyin and Zhunti.
Jieyin and Zhunti felt a despairing pressure, it was instantly dispelled.
They were overjoyed to learn that Qing Xuanzi had made a move: Qing Xuanzi's attitude fully proved that their previous speculation was correct.
Hongjun did not abandon them, but instead lent them a helping hand.
"Qing Xuanzi, are you determined to make things a lose-lose situation?"
"Come on, if you dare, try it." Qing Xuanzi sneered, speaking directly to him.
Tiandao almost couldn't hold back, but he saw a glimmer of hope on Qing Xuanzi's cold face.
I held back.
Now that he has fallen out with Qing Xuanzi, whether he is alright or not, Heaven does not know.
However, Heaven knew that something bad would happen to it, and if it came to that, Qing Xuanzi might just give up on the Primordial World.
Once Qing Xuanzi completely abandons the Primordial World, we can simply do as he said and start anew.
"Alright, Heaven will no longer interfere in matters of Buddhism, but you cannot interfere either. This is my bottom line. Otherwise, let's start a war."
"Start a war? I'm terrified." Qing Xuanzi said dismissively, then continued, "Go ahead and start a war if you dare."
Holy crap! The Heavenly Dao was startled. This kid is completely unyielding. What should we do?
Tiandao regretted coming forward to support him this time; he was definitely going to lose face today.
The rumbling thunder echoed throughout the Primordial World for a long time. When the thunder stopped, there was no trace of the Heavenly Dao.
Heaven has departed, taking with it boundless hatred.
Zhen Yuanzi and his two companions were dumbfounded: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Isn't the Heavenly Dao in charge of the Primordial World now?
That's it, we've really messed up.
Seeing that the Heavenly Dao had left, Qing Xuanzi did not make things difficult for Zhen Yuanzi and the others. He still had his pride. How could a being comparable to the Great Dao Supreme Saint bully a Saint?
He can't do it yet.
Qing Xuanzi glanced at Zhunti, then left.
He left behind a saying, "The position of the leader of Buddhism is determined by one's level of spiritual cultivation; the one with the highest cultivation becomes the leader of Buddhism."
Zhen Yuanzi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Qing Xuanzi Heavenly Venerable disdained to lay a hand on them.
It's just the position of cult leader, isn't it enough that I'll give it up?
Moreover, the conclusion is based on the level of cultivation. Everyone is at the same level as a saint, so it's not certain who will win or lose.
