After Hongjun learned the details, a bewildered look appeared on his face.
Wait, was the Chan Sect really that fierce?
They had wiped out the Western Teachings outright?
And they had stripped the Western Teachings bare, too?
"Yuanshi, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Although Hongjun had yet to return to his normal state, he could still sense that something was amiss.
Had the Chan Sect already become this powerful?
"Well, what these two fellow Daoists said is broadly correct, but there are still a few discrepancies."
"This... what you two Daoist Companions said is generally correct, but there are still some discrepancies. I have already questioned my disciples. Although they did indeed breach the gates of the Western Teachings, they gained nothing whatsoever."

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi hurriedly explained.
If all the Western Lands' losses were laid at his door, he would have to bleed a fortune!
Besides, the Chan Sect had lost quite a few disciples this time, too. His heart ached over them!
"No one ever came to the gates of our Western Teachings except your disciples!"
Naturally, Zhunti and Jieyin would never let Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi brush the matter aside so lightly.

But there was no way to wriggle out of something like this.
In this great calamity, only
