#1881 - Shocked, all the Buddhas were amazed
In Mount Ling, within the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Tathagata Buddha naturally learned of the events at Lion Camel Ridge.
His face was somber as he looked down at Chu Hao below, remaining silent.
Chu Hao, however, said with a leisurely expression, “Tathagata, I'll be taking Lion Camel Ridge then.”
These words caused the Buddhas to glare at him, their eyes fixed on Chu Hao as if they wanted to devour him alive.
“Was all of this a scheme set up by you?” one of the Buddhas stepped forward and loudly questioned Chu Hao.
Chu Hao shook his head slightly, “How could that be? I am the Law Enforcement Prison God of the Three Realms; how could I do such a thing?”
He looked serious, as if he were ashamed of such behavior.
However, none of the Buddhas believed a single word of it.
That's right, not a single word.
In any case, the entire Western Paradise had thoroughly learned that nothing Chu Hao said could be trusted.
What angered them even more was that this guy dared to come directly to the Great Thunderclap Temple; he was clearly here to provoke them.
“What do you want?”
The Tathagata in the lotus throne above finally couldn't help but ask.
Regarding the loss of Lion Camel Ridge, the Tathagata had already prepared himself mentally when he made the bet with the Peacock King.
He simply hadn't expected the Peacock King to be so careless, and more importantly, that everything from Lion Camel Ridge had been taken away by this guy in front of him.
Taking it was one thing, but the key was that he took it in a reasonable and justified manner, making it impossible for Mount Ling to find a reason to get it back.
Most importantly, this guy had come to their doorstep.
However, Chu Hao suddenly changed the subject, “Tathagata, the matter of Lion Camel Ridge was a last resort, and besides, I did it for Mount Ling.”
Hearing this, the Tathagata really wanted to roll his eyes on the spot.
If he could, he would have liked to repeat his actions from back then and suppress this guy under the Five Finger Mountain.
Unfortunately, he couldn't, so he could only say in a deep voice, “You plunder the foundations of my Buddhist sect, do you really think I don't know?”
“How can you call what a scholar does plundering? It's borrowing.” Chu Hao immediately retorted.
“Hmph, borrowing, then when will you return it?” The Tathagata sneered.
“Wait until the Journey to the West tribulation is over; anyway, you in the Western Paradise still have more important things to do, right? When the tribulation is over, I'll return it immediately.” Chu Hao smiled.
Now, the Tathagata could see it.
This guy wasn't here to provoke them, but to seek peace.
It was the first time he had seen Chu Hao lower his posture, and he immediately said with a haughty air, “What if I refuse?”
“How can you refuse? This was all brought about by you.” Chu Hao said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” The Tathagata frowned slightly.
“If you hadn't let the Golden-Winged Great Peng join my Law Enforcement Hall, how would the other two demons of Lion Camel Ridge have followed suit?” A hint of a smile appeared on Chu Hao's lips.
Hearing these words, the Buddhas all fell silent.
Especially the Tathagata, his face remained unchanged, but his heart was a little uneasy.
What he said was indeed true; originally, he wanted the Golden-Winged Great Peng to act as an inside agent, but he didn't expect it to lead to the situation today.
Just as the Buddhas were silent, outside the Great Thunderclap Temple, a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth.
A dazzling seven-colored divine light spread out, and a majestic figure slowly emerged, arriving in the arena.
“Chu Hao!”
An emotionless voice echoed, carrying great majesty, startling the Buddhas.
Chu Hao, however, looked calm, gazing at the figure with a glimmer in his eyes.
The person who came was none other than the Peacock King, who had been repeatedly thwarted along the way.
Seeing the culprit at this moment, she looked furious and immediately rushed over.
Seeing this scene, the Tathagata did not stop her; he even hoped that the Peacock King would attack him, preferably punishing him severely.
Just then, Chu Hao suddenly shouted, “Buddha, save me.”
As he spoke, he rushed towards the Tathagata.
The Tathagata looked astonished.
He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen someone so shameless.
He watched Chu Hao rush over, his speed like lightning, and he arrived behind him in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the Peacock King had already attacked.
Looking at her imposing manner, the Tathagata knew that if he didn't act, his position would be destroyed.
Therefore, he quickly said, “Buddha Mother, calm down.”
The Peacock King stared at him, and when she thought about how he had secretly let the Golden-Winged Great Peng join the Law Enforcement Hall without telling her, and then thought about her bet with him, she couldn't help but suspect that this might be the Tathagata's plan.
Thinking of this, her voice turned cold, “Get out of the way.”
The Buddhas were also frightened by this scene and couldn't move.
They didn't expect the Buddha Mother to directly provoke the Buddha; this was a rhythm that would cause chaos in the Buddhist sect.
Faced with the Peacock King's performance, the Tathagata immediately stretched out a palm.
Instantly, golden light shone brightly, and a rich Buddhist intent enveloped it, forming a huge light curtain with a majestic force, blocking her.
The light curtain was extremely large, carrying vast Buddhist power, barely blocking the Peacock King's figure.
Seeing this scene, a smile crossed Chu Hao's lips, and then he said to the Tathagata, “Buddha, I am the Law Enforcement Prison God of the Three Realms; are you planning to start a war by suddenly attacking me?”
Being labeled with such a big hat, the Tathagata naturally couldn't respond.
He looked at the Peacock King and transmitted his voice, “Buddha Mother, let's talk things over; so many Buddhist disciples are watching, don't cause turmoil in the Western Paradise.”
At this time, the Peacock King also became much more sober.
This was, after all, Mount Ling, the sacred land of Buddhism, and there were so many Buddhist disciples watching.
Only then did she withdraw the majestic aura from her body.
The Tathagata then scanned the Buddhas and said, “That's all for today; you may leave.”
The Buddhas actually didn't want to leave.
After all, they still wanted to see what would happen between the Buddha Mother and the Buddha.
But seeing the Buddha's unquestionable gaze, the Buddhas could only leave helplessly.
After the Buddhas left, Chu Hao also leisurely walked out and stood in the void next to the Tathagata.
The Peacock King stared at Chu Hao, then looked at the Tathagata, and directly asked, “Why did you send the Golden-Winged Great Peng to the Law Enforcement Hall?”
Before the Tathagata could speak, the fire-stoking prince Chu Hao preemptively said, “That's right, it's because of the Buddha's trust that the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge trusted my Law Enforcement Hall.”
Hearing these words, the Tathagata felt like he was going to vomit blood.
He pretended to be calm and explained, “This matter was not well considered by me.”
After speaking, he looked at Chu Hao and said in a deep voice, “Prison God, how do you plan to resolve the matter of Lion Camel Ridge?”
“What resolution? I finally managed to snatch Lion Camel Ridge back from the hands of the Demonic Path; the Buddha wouldn't ask me to hand it over, would he?” Chu Hao said seemingly aggrieved.
