Chapter 739: Chapter 739

The Buddha spoke in a low voice, "The most cunning part is Bai Jin actually had Red Boy hide Tang Sanzang in the independent Space created by Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage. Bai Jin was set on this plan - even if he managed to dissuade Buddhism and the Blood Sea, we would still be unable to find Tang Sanzang’s whereabouts, thus the Westward journey could not proceed.

But to his surprise, this monk managed to locate Tang Sanzang with the power of the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus, though it also meant offending Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage."

Taishang Saint asked, "Bai Jin, is all of this true?"

Bai Jin hurriedly exclaimed, "I’ve been wronged, it’s a huge injustice!"

Tongtian Sect Master laughed heartily, "Wronged about what? My Jie Sect Disciples act with integrity and sit upright; what’s there to not dare to admit? Bai Jin, you’ve done very well."

Bai Jin was speechless. Who would want a Master who sets up his Disciple ? I certainly do not wish for it.

Tongtian Sect Master asked with interest, "What else did Bai Jin do?"

The Buddha said sorrowfully, "During that time, Bai Jin learned from a certain pudgy Buddha of our Buddhism that we intended to use the Merciful Pill against the Demon Clan of Jilei Mountain.

Hence, he secretly commanded Jiang Ziya to also poison them with an Enchanting Soul Pill corresponding to the Merciful Pill, creating a potent toxin that killed many Demon Kings of Jilei Mountain, making the Demon Kings of Northern Continent view Buddhism as an enemy, leading Kunpeng Demon Master to attack the Western Continent."

Bai Jin was dumbfounded. All of this was my doing? How am I this formidable? Jiang Ziya is clearly Jade Emperor’s man, what does that have to do with me?!

"Of course not!" Bai Jin cried out, jumping up.

"Haha~ Bai Jin, well done, your Master is very comforted, you have the essence of my younger days."

Zhunti and Tongtian exchanged glances, facing each other with a smile. It seemed the Buddha had prepared well and was stable.

Bai Jin felt a chill in his heart; in the vast Primordial World, had the trust between Immortals disappeared? He looked at Tongtian Sect Master with grievance.

Tongtian Sect Master calmed down his excited mood with a cough and asked: "Is it really not you?"

Bai Jin’s eyes suddenly widened, hanging on his face like two large Pearls, blinking with watery big eyes, he pleaded, "Master, do you see my sincere little eyes?"

"I’ve seen it, it’s not you! I, Tongtian, have always been honorable and upright in my life, with deeds that leave me no cause for shame. How could a disciple of my sect be a despicable schemer proficient in conspiracies?"

"Cough cough~" Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad coughed twice. Without the third junior brother of the Jie Sect, it was becoming increasingly hard to fathom.

Lord Lao Zi telepathically asked, "Is it really not you?"

"Master Uncle, really, it’s not me!"

Lord Lao Zi had an inkling in his heart and said with a chuckle, "Since All Saints have gathered, it’s simple to clarify things. Please invite Ming He Sect Master and Red Boy over for a meeting!"

All the other Saints nodded. The Buddha, like a warrior, stared down Bai Jin, determined to expose your true face this time.

The peculiar void rippled, and out of the ripples, Ming He Sect Master stepped out with Red Boy in tow.

Ming He Sect Master saluted with a fist-clenched greeting, "I greet all my fellow senior brothers and sisters."

Many Saints also nodded and smiled in response.

Red Boy also dutifully saluted with a fist-clenched bow, "Disciple Red Boy pays respects to the Saints!"

Ming He Sect Master stood up and asked, "May I know why my senior brothers and sisters have summoned me here?"

He glanced at the Buddha from the corner of his eye, with a series of murmurings in his heart, ’Oh you, little baldy, you resort to tattling when you can’t win.’

Taishang Saint smiled and said, "I summoned the junior brothers here just to ask Red Boy one thing."

"Please speak, elder brother."

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad looked at Red Boy and said, "I will ask you a few questions, you must answer honestly."

Red Boy nodded continuously and honestly said, "Saint, please ask. I will be forthcoming with all I know, sparing no details."

"The Buddha stated that your kidnapping of Tang Sanzang was by the decree of Emperor Gouchen. Is there any truth to this?"

Red Boy was dumbfounded and said, "Emperor Gouchen? Who’s that? Why would I act on his orders? I, Red Boy, aspire to become the Great Demon King. Why would I listen to any emperor?"

The Saint could tell at a glance that he was telling the truth, which slightly twisted his expression into something peculiar.

Bai Jin exclaimed excitedly, "Master, Masters, Uncles, what Red Boy said is indeed the truth. Finally, I am exonerated."

The Buddha hurriedly said, "Red Boy, if it wasn’t someone else’s instigation, how could you have hidden Tang Sanzang in a Space established by the Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage? How did you know to hide from Buddhism’s investigation there?"

Red Boy said indignantly, "Hide from investigation? I have no clue about that!

I took Tang Sanzang there because Little Yi was there. If I gave Tang Sanzang to Little Yi, she agreed to be the Demon King with me."

Ming He slapped Red Boy’s head lightly and said irritably, "Cause me less trouble in the future. Stay away from that girl, or you won’t even know how you end up dead."

"Oh~" Red Boy responded dejectedly, his dreams of becoming the Great Demon King ending before they even started. Little Yi, ah! In the end, I have failed you.

The Buddha was taken aback, how could it be ? Kids these days are so young and already looking for a Daoist couple? I, the poor monk, don’t even have a Daoist couple yet!

A lightning bolt flashed through The Buddha’s mind, and he immediately exclaimed, "No, that’s not right! Red Boy kidnapped Tang Sanzang but didn’t go to Jilei Mountain or Cuiyun Mountain. Why would Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan admit to kidnapping Tang Sanzang? There must be someone plotting and instigating behind the scenes."

Ming He Sect Master chuckled and said, "I can tell you about that.

After the Holy Infant kidnapped Tang Sanzang, he left a line of writing in the Cave Mansion."

With a wave of his hand, a line of text materialized: "Dear uncle, Tang Sanzang has been taken by me. My parents are fighting, and my family is shattered. I am in immense pain. Now I intend to use Tang Sanzang to create a new family for myself. Thank you for your help, uncle."

Ming He said, "Sun Wukong thought that Red Boy delivered Tang Sanzang to Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan to reconcile them. Therefore, Sun Wukong went to my daughter Iron Fan first and then to Bull Demon King at Jilei Mountain.

Touched by Sun Wukong’s belief and concerned for Red Boy’s safety, both Iron Fan and Bull Demon King admitted to capturing Tang Sanzang as a cover to protect the Holy Infant, drawing Buddhism’s forces."

The Buddha was perplexed. No, none of this was right. It was all different from what he had deduced. He felt entirely dizzy.

Bai Jin suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is!"

The Buddha snapped to his senses, exclaiming excitedly, "There’s also Jiang Ziya! Jiang Ziya’s movements are mysterious, and he has intricate connections with Heavenly Court. Every Demon King that has collaborated with him has ended up as a corpse in the Three Realms Mall, which is founded by Bai Jin. There’s definitely some secret connection between them."

Bai Jin said tactfully, "You’ll have to ask the Jade Emperor about this."

Ripples spread through the void, and the Jade Emperor, clad in Dragon Robe, emerged from the ripples.

The Jade Emperor, paying his respects with a bow and a smiling face, said, "I greet all my teacher brothers and sisters. May I inquire the reason my teacher brothers and sisters have sought me?"

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad smiled and said, "Great Venerable, The Buddha has stated that Jiang Ziya, on Bai Jin’s orders, poisoned the Demon Clan of Jilei Mountain, killing many Demon Kings, leading to the Northern Continent Demon Clan’s hostility towards Buddhism.

Bai Jin said that you are more familiar with this matter, thus we have invited the Great Venerable here for a meeting." Follow current novᴇls on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
