Chapter 738: Chapter 738

Bai Jin touched his nose and hurriedly said, "Master, I was indeed unable to restrain my feelings, please forgive me, Master!"

Primordial Venerable said with a smile, "It’s alright, just take good care of yourself."

Bai Jin responded gratefully, "Thank you, Master, for your concern."

In the void of space, Tongtian Sect Master, annoyed, transmitted his voice: "Elder brother, I feel that Bai Jin has changed, he doesn’t even think to honor me, his Master, first when he comes across good things."

"You should stop causing trouble. If Bai Jin gave you the skirt, I’m afraid you would kill him."

"How is that causing trouble? It shows his attitude. In his heart, the status of his Master has diminished. We must properly discipline him."

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad simply ignored Tongtian Sect Master and laughing he said, "You, Sisters, are looking too far ahead. What we need to discuss now is whether Bai Jin has interfered with the Westward Journey to obtain the scriptures."

Nuwa and Ping Xin exchanged a smile, nodding in deep sisterly affection before turning away.

Primordial Venerable spoke gravely, "Interfering with the Westward Journey? That’s absolutely impossible. I know this child Bai Jin very well. He has always abided by the rules since childhood, setting an example for the disciples of the Three Religions. Now that he has become the Emperor Gouchen of the Heavenly Court, he is even more just and impartial. Even the Heavenly Demons flee before his pure and untainted Dao Heart, earning him the reputation as the conscience of the Primordial World. How could such a Xuanmen Disciple plot to repeat the Calamity and cause the Three Realms to run with rivers of blood?!"

Looking at Zhunti he said, "I fear someone is framing him deliberately."

Duo Bao Tathagata felt helpless inside, chuckling to himself—foolish Saints, you’ve all been deceived by his facade! Ever since he entered the sect, he’s never followed the rules, frequently backstabbing, and making enemies of his fellow disciples. As for the Heavenly Demon, I’ve now begun to doubt whether Bai Jin is in collusion with the Demon Clan, coordinating both inside and out, laying the foundations for the Demon Sect to invade the Three Realms, all so he could one day rule over them.

Tongtian nodded in satisfaction, saying, "That is also my perspective, well put by Primordial, deserving of reward!" He flicked his finger, and a spinning Gold Coin flew out towards Primordial Venerable.

Primordial’s gaze sharpened, the Merit Coin vanished into thin air, his eyes filled with anger. That Tongtian always needs to be taken care of.

Zhunti said with a smile, "Duo Bao, why don’t you give us the details?"

Duo Bao Tathagata put his palms together and reverently said, "Ever since the Westward Journey began, Bai Jin has repeatedly intervened. First, he placed the Tightening Spell on Tang Sanzang, then he guided Tang Sanzang to struggle with money, and now he is secretly supporting the Bull Demon King to be an enemy of Buddhism, plotting schemes. As a result, the Blood Sea Nether River Sect Leader, Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage, Heavenly Emperor, and Kunpeng Demon Master all attacked Buddhism together, almost bringing an end to the Westward Journey."

Zhunti said in surprise, "Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn’t even know Bai Jin had done so much!"

Turning to Tongtian he earnestly said, "Brother, the Westward Journey is of great importance. Bai Jin’s continuous meddling could result in disastrous consequences for all living beings. If we don’t punish him, how can we gain everyone’s support? Being lenient towards him is negligence towards the countless creatures of the Primordial World."

All the Saints frowned subconsciously; if Bai Jin really did interfere, it would indeed be troublesome. Now in the midst of the Calamity, with the Heavenly Secrets in chaos, even the Saints can’t know everything, let alone that Bai Jin’s actions are concealed by five other Saints, so they are truly unaware of what Bai Jin has been up to.

Tongtian Sect Master looked down at Jieyin and Zhunti with a humorous glance and chuckled, "Bai Jin acted on my orders to sabotage the Westward Journey. If you wish to blame someone, by all means, let’s discuss it amidst the Chaos."

Jieyin and Zhunti were speechless, here to accuse and reason, but what if the other party didn’t play by the rules?

"Ahem—Tongtian, hold back your words for a moment."

Taishang Saint said kindly: "These are all one-sided claims from Buddhism; let’s hear what Bai Jin has to say about it as well!"

The other Saints all nodded in agreement.

Within the space, ripples suddenly emerged, and Bai Jin abruptly appeared amidst the void. Upon seeing the various Saints, his heart jolted, and he quickly bowed, "Disciple Bai Jin, pays respects to Master, to Eldest Uncle, to Second Master, to the two Ladies, and to both Uncles.

What instructions do you have for summoning your disciple here?"

Taishang smiled and said, "Don’t panic, it’s just that Buddhism has come to accuse us of wrongdoing."

Bai Jin responded in confusion: "Accuse of wrongdoing? What wrongdoing has your disciple committed?"

Tongtian laughed heartily and said: "Bai Jin, the Buddhist Sect Leader claims that the tribulations encountered during the Westward Journey were all orchestrated by you in secret, you nearly sabotaged the mission to obtain the scriptures. I must say, well done."

Bai Jin’s expression froze, and he quickly exclaimed in panic: "Master, all Uncles, I’ve been wronged! A grave injustice!

At the start of the Westward Journey, both Eldest Uncle and Second Master, as well as the two Ladies, all warned me about the perils of the journey to obtain the scriptures. Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to disrupt the schemes of All Saints."

Taishang turned to Zhunti, chuckling as he said, "Did you hear that?"

Primordial Venerable also stated: "Bai Jin has always been very obedient."

Upon recalling the sorry state of Spiritual Mountain, and his own humiliating beatings that were known throughout the Three Realms, The Buddha felt a surge of anger rise within but spoke with restrained respect, "May I, the humble monk, be allowed to say a few words?"

The voice of Taishang echoed in Bai Jin’s mind: "Buddhism has no evidence, no matter how they pressure you, do not admit to anything."

In his heart, Bai Jin replied: "Eldest Uncle, I really didn’t do anything!"

"That’s right, just like that."

Bai Jin was utterly speechless.

The Buddha set aside all other thoughts, and in the blink of an eye, the clues in his mind began to connect, forming a flawless chain of evidence.

The Buddha spoke calmly: "Kui Niu was once a Jie Sect Disciple, and Kui Niu’s son, Red Boy, could also be considered a half-disciple of the Jie Sect. Bai Jin, as the elder brother of the Jie Sect Outer Disciples, has the authority to command Jie Sect Disciples. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel★fire.net

So he secretly ordered Red Boy to capture Tang Sanzang and then sent him to a place hard to find by any deities of the Three Realms, which is an independent space created by Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage.

Then he had the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan publicly admit to the abduction of Tang Sanzang, thereby creating two leads, one overt and one covert, to confuse the Saints of the Primordial World and Buddhism.

I too was deceived by him, having dispatched Buddhist Cultivators to attack Jilei Mountain and Cuiyun Mountain, suffering heavy losses. Just as he predicted, this drew out the Blood Sea Nether River Sect Leader, and even had the Law Enforcement Team block the approach of the Buddha Bodhisattvas from Spiritual Mountain, culminating in the tragedy of the Blood Sea flooding Spiritual Mountain.

If things continued to develop , Buddhism and the Blood Sea would be locked in endless conflict, and Tang Sanzang would completely vanish without a trace, putting an end to the Westward Journey."

The Tongtian Sect Master said with satisfaction, "Bai Jin, well done, Kui Niu also did well, your Master is quite pleased.

What a pity you did not also rally the armies of the Heavenly Court? It would have been an opportunity to annihilate Buddhism’s Spiritual Mountain."

Bai Jin broke into a cold sweat, thinking to himself: Master, please don’t stir up more trouble. Isn’t my life comfortable enough for you? He hurriedly explained, "Master, I didn’t do this. Instead, it was by inviting Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad that we stopped the strife between the Blood Sea and Buddhism."

The Buddha, with a look that seemed to see through everything, said: "This step is exactly where Bai Jin’s cleverness lies. By doing so, he has completely moved from darkness into the light, transforming himself into a Heavenly Emperor who appears reasonable and understands the bigger picture, which would cause no one to doubt him again."

Bai Jin blinked his bewildered eyes. Is this really something I did? Nonsense! Aside from stealthily snatching—no, picking up some items in the commotion, what did I do? I’m accusing you of slander!
