#2065 - Do you have evidence?
In the Nine Demons Execution of Heavens formation, the remaining Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and the eighteen Arhats were already exhausted of their cultivation, and half of them had suffered injuries.
The attacks of the nine towering demonic figures descended once more, and they had no strength to resist or evade them.
"Amitabha, we are finished."
Guanyin despairingly chanted the Buddha's name.
"I don't want to die!"
"Had I known this would be the outcome, I would have preferred to stay in the Heavenly Prison."
"We shouldn't have plundered the Heavenly Prison, let alone impersonated the demons."
Regret filled the hearts of these Western Heaven bigwigs at this moment, but regret was useless.
As the attacks of the towering demonic figures were about to fall, Guanyin and the others waited in despair for their imminent fate of being turned into meat patties.
But at that moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed, directly attacking the formation from the outside.
This Nine Demons Execution of Heavens formation was like an iron wall and copper fortress for those inside, but it also had its weaknesses.
That was, it could be easily broken from the outside. Under the attack of that ray of light, the entire formation instantly collapsed.
The nine towering demonic figures also disappeared into nothingness the moment the formation collapsed, and Guanyin and the others had been spared.
"Audacious demons, how dare you intercept and kill people from our Western Heaven here!"
Dipankara Buddha, leading the Western Heaven's forces, quickly approached and shouted at Maitreya Buddha and the demons.
"Dipankara, you old thief, you've arrived quickly."
Maitreya Buddha, seeing Dipankara, was also filled with animosity upon meeting his enemy.
"It's the reinforcements from our Western Heaven!"
Guanyin, having escaped a disaster and seeing Dipankara Buddha and the Western Heaven's forces, was naturally overjoyed.
"Maitreya Buddha, you killed so many elites of our Western Heaven; you will pay the price."
Although Guanyin and the others were saved, more than twenty other elite Buddhas had died in the formation, which was also a significant loss for Western Heaven.
"You from Western Heaven actually impersonated our demons and committed heinous acts; such punishment is already lenient for you."
Maitreya Buddha was also somewhat unwilling that he hadn't killed Guanyin and the others.
Now that Dipankara Buddha and the Western Heaven's forces had arrived, the strength of the two sides was evenly matched.
"Humph, today I must make you pay the price so that I can report to Buddha."
Dipankara Buddha said, already attacking Maitreya Buddha.
"Dipankara, you old thief, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Maitreya Buddha was not afraid either and instantly attacked, fighting with Dipankara Buddha.
The Western Heaven's forces also began to clash with the demon army. Guanyin and the others had no strength to fight at this time and could only hide in the rear to recuperate and watch the battle.
The battle here was naturally very fierce, and at the same time, Tathagata Buddha also arrived at the Prison God Hall.
"Chu Hao, get out here!"
Tathagata Buddha shouted angrily as soon as he entered.
"Buddha, why are you here again?"
Chu Hao asked Tathagata Buddha, pretending to be confused.
"Chu Hao, what a good thing you've done. You promised to release people, but now most of my people are dead. How do you explain this to me?"
"Buddha, we reached a friendly negotiation, and I have released all the people as promised. I'm right about that, aren't I?"
Chu Hao asked Tathagata Buddha.
"Friendly negotiation? Released as promised, this..."
Tathagata was stunned. Chu Hao did release the people; that was indeed correct.
"Since I have released everyone as promised, why is Buddha still here to question me?"
Chu Hao asked Tathagata back.
"But most of my people are dead!"
Tathagata Buddha said through gritted teeth, but he was suppressed by Chu Hao's logic and could not act out now.
"That's not my responsibility. I'm only responsible for releasing people. Our Prison God Hall has no obligation to protect them on their way to Western Heaven, does it?"
Chu Hao smiled. In fact, Chu Hao had already protected them on their way to Western Heaven, but this Western Heaven was not that Western Heaven.
"You released people here, and the demons intercepted and killed them there. It's clear that you colluded with them."
Tathagata Buddha still questioned Chu Hao.
"Buddha, don't spout nonsense and slander me. Say I colluded with the demons; what evidence do you have?"
Chu Hao stretched out a hand to Tathagata Buddha, signaling him to produce evidence.
"This..."
Tathagata Buddha was speechless again.
Although the matter was obvious, and even a fool could guess it, it was difficult to find evidence.
The people of the Prison God Hall would not betray Chu Hao, and the demons would not be witnesses for Tathagata Buddha. Besides them, what evidence was there?
"Buddha, I would like to say that Guanyin and the others impersonated demons to plunder the Heavenly Prison, and the demons retaliated against them. That's perfectly normal.
Now that your people from Western Heaven have been killed by the demons, you don't blame the demons but come to my Prison God Hall to make trouble unreasonably. What's the logic here?
Or is Buddha deliberately trying to find an excuse to renege on the debt, afraid that you can't afford to repay what you owe me?"
Chu Hao's words made Tathagata Buddha's heart almost explode with anger, but he could not vent it because he really had no convincing reason.
"If Buddha still feels unwilling, we can let the Jade Emperor preside over justice. What do you think?"
Chu Hao said to Tathagata Buddha with a smile.
"No need!"
If the Jade Emperor were to preside over justice, Tathagata Buddha would only be more embarrassed, and he knew this.
Chu Hao left Tathagata Buddha speechless, while on the other side, the battle between the demons and Western Heaven was continuing.
Dipankara Buddha and Maitreya Buddha had fought more than a dozen rounds. In terms of cultivation and supernatural powers, the two sides were about the same.
However, Dipankara Buddha's overall strength was still slightly higher than Maitreya Buddha's, and the Western Heaven's forces also had a certain advantage in fighting the demon army.
"Maitreya, today we will definitely let you demons know the power of our Western Heaven."
Seeing that the situation was favorable to Western Heaven, Dipankara Buddha immediately ordered to intensify the attack on the demons, aiming to severely damage the demons this time.
"Dipankara, you're thinking too simply. Do you think you have victory in your grasp? Then you might as well open your eyes and take a good look."
Just as Maitreya Buddha said these words, another group of demons came from not far away.
Moreover, this group of demons was very strong. They approached and directly entered the Western Heaven's crowd, causing the Buddhas of Western Heaven to retreat steadily.
"How could this be? When did the demons have so many powerful combatants?"
Dipankara Buddha was full of surprise and doubt. The demons actually had a backup plan, which he had not expected.
