Even under these circumstances, Zhunti and Jieyin voiced no opinion.
After all, they had once promised that Spirit Mountain belonged to Buddha Tathagata's lineage and had little to do with either of them.
Now that Buddha Tathagata had become a Sage, those promises still held.
In other words, Zhunti and Jieyin had been forced to swallow a bitter loss in silence.

In fact, he had no confidence whatsoever that he could escape
