Chapter 2071: Chapter 2071
The Beigong War God took action, as did Qi Zhishan and Second Young Master Zhang, all preparing to summon the Divine Artifacts within them to rescue Mahakaya.
But just at this tense moment, before they could act, an unexpected situation occurred.
Monk Wunian, who had been standing behind Mahakaya, suddenly rushed in front of him, shielding him from the Buddha's fatal blow.
The Buddha originally intended to kill Mahakaya with one strike, but never expected Monk Wunian to intervene, causing his plan to fail instantly.
He hesitated, glaring at Monk Wunian, angrily shouting, "Wunian, what are you doing? He deceived our Buddha Domain's people and stole our Jade Bottle, and you're planning to save him? Are you planning to betray the Buddha Domain as well?"
The other members of the Buddha Domain also looked unfavorably at Monk Wunian. In their hearts, there was only the mission of the Buddha Domain, no other feelings.
They all saw Mahakaya take the Jade Bottle, so they naturally needed to kill Mahakaya to retrieve it. Now that Monk Wunian was preventing the Buddha from killing Mahakaya, he was protecting Mahakaya, disrupting the Buddha Domain's mission. In their eyes, Monk Wunian was also their enemy!
Monk Wunian frowned, speaking in a deep voice, "If he didn't do it and you kill him, wouldn't that be killing the wrong person?"
"How could we kill the wrong person?" the Buddha shouted, "We all saw clearly; it was him who deceived our Buddha Domain's people and took the Jade Bottle. Now you still want to defend him, Wunian, could it be that you're in cahoots with him?"
At this point, the Buddha's voice suddenly rose, "Now I remember, Wunian, explain to me how he knew about our Buddha Domain's mission? Why did he directly steal the Jade Bottle? Why did he choose to deceive us when we were about to succeed? Wunian, dare you say that you two aren't colluding, trying to steal from our Buddha Domain?"
As these words came out, the other members of the Buddha Domain changed their expressions one after another. The Buddha's words led them to many suspicions.
If it weren't for Monk Wunian leaking the Buddha Domain's mission, how would Mahakaya have known to seize the Jade Bottle? Also, with Monk Wunian helping Mahakaya, doesn't that further prove that they're colluding together?
Monk Wunian's expression was ice-cold, speaking in a deep voice, "I've said, I didn't leak the Buddha Domain's mission, nor did I collude with anyone."
"Then why are you stopping us from killing him?" a member of the Buddha Domain shouted.
"I'm stopping you from killing him because I think it might not be him who did this!" Monk Wunian shouted, "I just don't want you to kill the wrong person!"
"Is whether or not we've killed the wrong person something for you to worry about?" a Buddha Domain member shouted, "What you should do is to advance and retreat together with our Buddha Domain. Since we know he did this, then kill him to retrieve the Jade Bottle, not stop us from killing him and making excuses for someone who betrayed the Buddha Domain!"
"And who should decide whether the wrong person was killed?" the Beigong War God shouted in anger, "If you kill the wrong person this time, then what will you do?"
The Buddha glanced at the Beigong War God coldly, saying, "We will not kill the wrong person!"
"What if you're wrong?" the Beigong War God shouted.
"I've made it very clear, our Buddha Domain won't kill the wrong person!" the Buddha roared, "Are you deaf or dumb that you can't understand what I'm saying?"
"Such arrogance from the Buddha Domain, such conceit!" the Beigong War God laughed, looking skyward, "Since you're so confident, then I'll wager with you. If Mahakaya took your Jade Bottle, I, Beigong War God, am willing to end myself, joining him in recompense. If not, what will you, the Buddha Domain, do?"
"Then go ahead and end yourself!" the Buddha replied directly, "He did take our Jade Bottle, Beigong War God, how do you plan to die?"
"Fu** your mother!" Qi Zhishan couldn't help but curse, "We're wagering here, and you don't even say what you'll do if you're wrong, just insisting you're right? Are you mentally ill? Can't you understand words?"
"You're the one who doesn't understand words. I made it very clear that Mahakaya took the Jade Bottle. This matter is very clear; is there even a need for doubt?" the Buddha shouted.
At this moment, Yang Wudi's expression changed suddenly. He hastily struck Qi Zhishan back with a palm and turned to flee.
"Don't let him escape!" Second Young Master Zhang called out in alarm. Although he didn't know what was happening, Yang Wudi's actions certainly had a reason.
Qi Zhishan and Beigong War God also sensed something amiss and rushed to intercept Yang Wudi, stopping him together.
Yang Wudi was extremely anxious, as if encountering something particularly terrifying, desperately trying to break out. But indeed, when faced with the trio of Beigong War God, he was slightly outmatched.
Now, with Beigong War God's trio desperately stopping him, he truly couldn't escape!
Seeing the battle becoming more intense, the Buddha and his group frowned. They didn't know what was happening, but the Buddha didn't idle.
"Come, kill Mahakaya. I don't believe he can still resist to what extent!" the Buddha waved a hand, shouting coldly, "Wunian, either step aside or you are also betraying the Buddha Domain!"
The members of the Buddha Domain aggressively surrounded, about to attack Mahakaya with their full might.
Mahakaya sat cross-legged on the ground, hands clasped, his body covered in blood, already without the strength to resist.
Monk Wunian looked at Mahakaya, then at the aggressive members of the Buddha Domain. Suddenly, he clenched his teeth and slowly stepped forward, standing directly in front of Mahakaya.
Seeing this, the Buddha was secretly delighted, yet his face was full of anger, "Wunian, you dare commit treachery. This is betrayal of the Buddha Domain!"
The other members of the Buddha Domain looked at Monk Wunian with cold eyes, full of contempt and anger.
Monk Wunian clasped his hands together, speaking softly, "I will not betray the Buddha Domain; I simply believe my uncle would not do such a thing, nothing more!"
"Everyone saw it with their own eyes, and you are still obstinately clinging to your course. I see you truly deserve death!" the Buddha shouted furiously, "Wunian, if you don't step aside, I will kill you too!"
Monk Wunian stood quietly, unmoving, "I advise you once more, what you see with your own eyes may not be true. If you kill the wrong person, who will bear the consequences?"
"This matter is not mistaken!" the Buddha shouted furiously, aggressively charging forward.
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from afar, "If you're wrong, I will have all of you in the Buddha Domain pay with your lives!"
Hearing this voice, Beigong War God and others couldn't help but rejoice. It was Su Yang's voice, Su Yang had finally arrived!
