107: Chapter 107 Stubborn Female Immortal 5 Updates 107: Chapter 107 Stubborn Female Immortal 5 Updates With such hatred, with such contradiction, Sun Wukong helping the Buddhist Sect?

Only if his mind had broken.

“Why would Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva be within the Great Sage Sect?”

Fan Yao voiced the crux of the matter.

Sun Wukong glanced at her and retorted, “Could it not be that Ksitigarbha is doing work for Old Sun?”

“Ah?”

The immortals of the Daoist Sect were all shocked.

Even if they looked down on the Buddhist Realm, they dared not show the slightest disrespect to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Who was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

He was one of the four Great Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist Realm.

If one spoke of status, his was even above Manjusri and Samantabhadra, equal in name with the Bodhisattva Guanyin.

Even the Celestial Immortals of the Daoist Sect, upon meeting these two Great Bodhisattvas, would show great respect.

As for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva becoming a subordinate of Sun Wukong, they had never even considered such a possibility.

Though Sun Wukong was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, in their hearts he was nothing more than a figure with a fierce reputation.

In terms of status, they did not believe him to be higher than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Sun Wukong knew they did not believe him, yet he still said, “Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has now left the Buddhist Sect and followed Old Sun, helping Old Sun preside over the Great Sage Sect.”

“How can the Great Saint prove what he says is true?”

Zhuge Ming inquired.

Sun Wukong’s gaze settled upon him, his earth-shaking killing intent enveloping Zhuge Ming.

Zhuge Ming shivered, his face turned pale, as he knelt down in the void.

“Does Old Sun need to prove anything to you?”

“What are you, anyway?”

“Not even The Three Pure Ones dare to ask Old Sun for proof, do you think yourself mightier than The Three Pure Ones?”

Three consecutive questions scared Zhuge Ming nearly into fainting.

He too was a top-tier Celestial Immortal and a master in his own right.

But compared to the likes of Sun Wukong, a top-tier War God of the Three Realms, he was heaven and earth apart, simply incomparable.

Merely in terms of aura, Sun Wukong could suppress him.

The others were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to say anything.

When the Great Sage Sun became angry, they wished not to provoke Sun Wukong further, lest they all end up with a dire fate.

Fan Yao, taking a hard stance, stepped forward and said, “Great Saint, please quell your anger.

Mainly, this Immortal Friend Zhuge, like the Great Saint, also detests the Buddhist Realm.

One of his disciples was killed not long ago by a strong figure of the Buddhist Realm during a great battle in the Netherworld.”

Sun Wukong then retracted his qi.

He said coldly, “Since a disciple has been killed by someone from the Buddhist Realm, it’s even more crucial to discern right from wrong and identify the true enemy.

I remind you, that Great Protector of the Spiritual Sect is the Wind-Listening Great Sage, the Macaque King, and that Macaque King’s master is none other than Tathagata Buddha.

So you might guess who the Sect Hierarch of the Spiritual Sect really is.”

“What?”

All the immortals of the Daoist Sect were greatly alarmed.

According to Sun Wukong’s words, didn’t it mean that Tathagata Buddha was not dead, and the Spiritual Sect was actually established by Tathagata Buddha?

It was clear who belonged to the Buddhist Realm.

“How is that possible?

If the Spiritual Sect was founded by the Buddhist Realm, then how could Great Emperor Gou Chen decree to officially recognize them as a legitimate sect?”

River Immortal countered.

Sun Wukong glanced at him, and with a cold laugh, said, “My Great Sage Sect is even decreed by Great Emperor Ziwei.

You all still suspect that I am working for the Buddhist Realm, so why can’t you harbor suspicions about Gou Chen?”

River Immortal felt somewhat embarrassed, for he naturally wouldn’t reveal to everyone that his teacher served under Great Emperor Gou Chen.

“That being said, believe it or not is up to you.

Moreover, since Tathagata is still alive, if you’re thinking of troubling the Spiritual Sect, then weigh carefully whether you possess the strength to compete with him.

Don’t end up dead without knowing how it came to be.”

After patiently finishing his words, Sun Wukong turned and left.

The Heavenly General did not rush in; he bowed and said, “My fellows, you really need not doubt the Great Sage.

The Great Sage and Amitabha Buddha from the Buddhist Realm have bad blood, and two months ago he even severely injured Maitreya Buddha.

Soon after, he attacked Mount Ling, killed several experts from the Buddhist Sect, and then withdrew in an orderly fashion.

If you don’t believe it, you can verify it yourselves.”

Having said this, the Heavenly General paused for a moment before continuing, “The Great Sage claims that the Spiritual Sect was created by the Tathagata Buddha himself, which I am unaware if it’s true or not.

But given the Great Sage’s pride, it seems unserious of him to lie.

And the conflict between the Great Sage Sect and the Spiritual Sect is to destroy Tathagata’s conspiracy.

Once the Spiritual Sect grows stronger, the Buddhist Sect will invade the Eastern Continent.

Even if you don’t help the Great Sage, please do not hinder him and create trouble for him.”

With that, the Heavenly General also turned and left.

The crowd exchanged looks, unsure whether to believe Sun Wukong’s words.

Fan Yao’s eyes shone with keen light as she said, “Fellows, if you wish to know whether the Great Sage’s words are true or false, we’ll know once we visit the Spiritual Sect.”

“Indeed, let’s go to the Spiritual Sect.”

Zhuge Ming said as well.

The River Immortal also spoke up, “I definitely do not believe that Great Emperor Gou Chen and the Tathagata are in cahoots, but I also feel that the Great Sage wouldn’t possibly aid the Buddhist Sect.

Let’s go to the Spiritual Sect to seek the truth.”

“Right.”

“The Immortals have spoken wisely, let’s go see for ourselves at the Spiritual Sect.”

Hundreds of Immortals from the Daoist Sect set off for the Spiritual Sect.

The Macaque King’s ear twitched slightly; he sensed the arrival of these people instantly.

With furrowed brows, the Macaque King felt his master had made a foolish move.

Revealing themselves now was completely untimely, and once the Daoist Immortals arrived, they would see through their ruse.

How to stop these Daoist Immortals from coming?

The Macaque King scratched his head, unable to think of a solution.

Just then, he showed a look of surprise.

The hundreds of Daoist Immortals were stopped, and the person blocking them was none other than a Dharma Protector God of the Daoist Sect, Heavenly Venerate Taiyi Zhenren, the Heavenly General Wang Shan.

He wore an imposing expression and commanded, “What are you all doing?”

In the presence of this Heavenly Venerate, the fervor of the Daoist Immortals quickly diminished.

Stepping forward, Zhuge Ming said, “To report to the Heavenly Venerate, we’ve heard that the Spiritual Sect was established by the Tathagata Buddha of Mount Ling and wished to investigate.”

Heavenly General Wang Shan coldly retorted, “Are you all courting death?

The Spiritual Sect is sanctioned by Great Emperor Gou Chen.

How could it possibly be established by the Tathagata Buddha?

Moreover, the Tathagata is dead, which is known throughout the Three Realms.

Have you been in seclusion for several hundred years?”

Zhuge Ming and the others looked at each other in dismay.

“Do you think your actions have gone unnoticed by this Heavenly Venerate?

You caused trouble in Huaguo Mountain, which is tantamount to provoking Great Emperor Ziwei.

But Great Emperor Ziwei is benign and will not blame you.

If you now go to the Spiritual Sect, with Great Emperor Gou Chen’s temperament, do you think you will fare well?”

A shiver ran through the crowd.

Great Emperor Gou Chen was far more strict than Great Emperor Ziwei.

If Great Emperor Gou Chen felt challenged, he would likely not let them off.

Any minor reason could be grounds for their demise.

Even the most powerful Celestial Immortals among them could not compare to a powerhouse like Great Emperor Gou Chen.

Yet Fan Yao looked puzzled.

She stared at Heavenly General Wang Shan and couldn’t help but ask, “Why do I feel that the Heavenly Venerate is preventing us from investigating the Spiritual Sect?

Could it be that something is indeed wrong with the Spiritual Sect, or is it true that Great Emperor Gou Chen is colluding with the Tathagata to allow the Buddhist Sect to spread to the Eastern Continent?”

Heavenly General Wang Shan’s face turned dark with anger as he shouted, “How dare you question this Heavenly Venerate?”

As he spoke, a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Fan Yao directly.

Pfft.

Fan Yao trembled as she was hit, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Heavenly General Wang Shan take action, Fan Yao’s fearlessness was not only undiminished, but her inner stubbornness was stoked further.

“Even if the Heavenly Venerate strikes me, you cannot dispel the doubts in my heart.

Instead, it makes me believe the Great Sage’s words even more.

Could it be that the Heavenly Venerate has also colluded with the Tathagata Buddha?

As a Dharma Protector God of the Daoist Sect, are you not afraid that The Three Pure Ones will mete out punishment for such actions?”

“Insolent, do you wish to die?”

The eyes of Heavenly General Wang Shan flashed with a fierce glint.
