“Amitabha.”
“That Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign showed no reverence for Buddhist Dharma, and for thirty years without fail, he slaughtered the disciples of our Buddhist order.”
“His crime is unforgivable.”
“Even at the cost of damaging my own merit, this old monk shall suppress him for all eternity.”
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata snorted coldly, making no secret of the fact that he had suppressed the Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign.
After all, this matter could not be concealed.
The Demon Buddha and the others were not blind.
“Hmph.”
“Could it be that this old monk can punish the Unruly Subjects of this entire city, yet cannot punish a mere mortal emperor?”
“Or do you intend to turn against this old monk for the sake of that Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign?!”
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata was upright and bold, his aura menacing.
Immediately, the Stone Monkey and Lin Feng fell silent.
Indeed.
With the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata’s status and position, no matter how far he had fallen, he was still far from being unable to suppress even a mortal emperor.
Letting the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata vent his pent-up fury was actually rather…
“Tathagata.”
“Let us not mince words.”
“You can fool these two, but how can you fool this old monk?”
“Hand over the Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign.”
“Otherwise, war!”
The Demon Buddha’s gaze was icy. He was no fool.
He immediately realized that if the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata truly intended only to vent his anger and punish the Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign, then the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata should have been all the more upright and bright, executing him publicly.
Otherwise, how could he intimidate the three million citizens of this city?
The way things were now, with the Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign neither seen alive nor his corpse found, could only mean there was something suspicious involved.
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata also knew his handling of the Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign was liable to arouse suspicion.
But there was nothing to be done.
Arousing the Demon Buddha and the others’ suspicion was still better than letting the Demon Buddha and the others learn from the Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign’s mouth the reincarnation roster of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Spirit Mountain.
So facing the Demon Buddha’s aggressive pressure, the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata refused to yield an inch. He sneered.
“What?”
“Do you truly intend to have a contest with this old monk over a mere mortal?”
“Tathagata, this old monk has no intention of having a contest with you.”
The Demon Buddha replied.
“But as the saying goes, a nation cannot go a single day without its sovereign. That Aolai Kingdom's Sovereign is, after all, the monarch in the hearts of the three million citizens of this city.”
“If you truly only meant to administer a slight punishment, then so be it.”
“But now he is neither seen alive nor his corpse found.”
“This old monk fears it will stir unrest among the three million commoners of this city.”
“So hand him over.”
“Even if you wish to punish him, let us do it upright and bright, openly and justly.”
