Chapter 493 - 487: World Honored’s Compromise
The betrayal of the Peacock Great Ming King has placed the World Honored under intense pressure.
At this moment, the World Honored is faced with a dilemma.
The Medicine King Buddha looked at the Peacock Great Ming King, then at the World Honored, and roared, "Peacock Great Ming King, how dare you betray the sect? I urge the World Honored to execute him."
"I urge the World Honored, to kill this beast."
"Please, World Honored, execute the Peacock Great Ming King!" Infinite Buddha, Dingguang Buddha, and others echoed.
Since even the Peacock Great Ming King intends to betray the sect, these people naturally won’t be polite; they want to utterly destroy the Peacock Great Ming King.
"From today onwards, there is no longer a Peacock Great Ming King, only Kong Xuan!" declared the Peacock Great Ming King proudly. "You think you can detain me? It won’t be possible with just your strength."
The World Honored looked at the scene before him with great helplessness.
Should the Peacock Great Ming King be detained?
According to the current situation, if he utilizes the full power of the sect, even if he doesn’t personally intervene, there’s still a certain hope of capturing the Peacock Great Ming King.
Of course, it’s only a possibility.
Because the restless factors like Elder Bai have to be considered.
Once these factors are mixed in, the odds of success become difficult to measure.
If Elder Bai and others intervene, it would mean that the final showdown arrives early, which is not what the World Honored wanted.
The World Honored has realized that the Peacock Great Ming King probably had intentions of betrayal for a long time, but today, he happened to find a reason for his betrayal.
The World Honored closed his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said to the Peacock Great Ming King, "Go ahead!"
"Father, you must not release the tiger back to the mountain!" Upon hearing this, Lady Ming King immediately intervened.
The World Honored glared fiercely at Lady Ming King, and she instantly fell silent, not daring to say another word.
Now that things have developed to this point, Lady Ming King, this fool, has to bear the brunt.
Luckily, she is the World Honored’s daughter; otherwise, given her status, it would’ve been more than just a glare—she might’ve directly faced dire consequences.
The Peacock Great Ming King also knew that since the World Honored had appeared, it was impossible to kill Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, Chongming Bird today.
Without a word, the Peacock Great Ming King transformed into five-colored light and left the scene.
...
...
After the Peacock Great Ming King left, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely awkward.
The World Honored stood there with a steely expression, remaining silent, and with the World Honored silent, the others dared not speak either.
For a moment, the entire hall was so quiet that the drop of a needle could be heard.
However, it wasn’t a solution for this stalemate to continue.
After a long time, Lady Ming King approached cautiously and asked, "Father, should the reincarnation ceremony continue?"
Continue?
Continue for what?
Following today’s chaos caused by the Peacock Great Ming King, the World Honored’s mind was in turmoil.
"It’s over!"
"Everyone disperse!" The World Honored slowly uttered.
Upon hearing the World Honored’s words, the sect members below the hall felt like a heavy burden was lifted.
This matter was irrelevant to them; they were merely spectators. The oppressive atmosphere earlier was extremely uncomfortable.
After the sect members dispersed below, the Medicine King Buddha mingled with the crowd, wanting to sneak away.
As the saying goes, a clear conscience leads to no fear of ghosts knocking at the door.
The key point is, the Medicine King Buddha had indeed done something he wasn’t proud of, so he naturally feared the consequences.
The Medicine King Buddha knew that remaining any longer would bring misfortune.
At this moment, escape was the best strategy, to flee quickly.
If the Medicine King Buddha wants to escape, it depends on whether the World Honored will allow it!
"Medicine King Buddha, stay."
The World Honored’s voice sounded in the Medicine King Buddha’s ear, causing his body to freeze.
Being singled out?
No way to escape now!
Helplessly, the Medicine King Buddha could only stay with a mournful expression.
Lady Ming King cast a sympathetic glance at Medicine King Buddha, then quietly withdrew.
The World Honored did not ask Lady Ming King to stay; he let her leave.
Just as Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird were about to leave, the World Honored spoke again, "Great Wisdom Buddha, Great Auspicious Buddha, Pingjiang Dinghai Buddha, you three stay as well."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird’s hearts skipped a beat.
Since the World Honored injured them with a single palm strike, they no longer hoped to enter the World Honored’s Eight Treasures Reincarnation Pool to repair their damaged foundation.
They only hoped the World Honored would spare their lives.
Once everyone else left, only the World Honored, Medicine King Buddha, Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird remained in the hall.
"Smack!"
The World Honored dealt a hard slap to Medicine King Buddha’s face, angrily scolding, "Lady Ming King is ignorant, and you are too?"
"Peacock Great Ming King’s betrayal today suits your intentions."
As soon as the World Honored spoke, Medicine King Buddha fell to his knees with a thud, repeatedly pleading, "I know my mistake, I know my mistake!"
In fact, sheltering Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird was Medicine King Buddha’s move to disgust and sideline Peacock Great Ming King.
Medicine King Buddha originally only wanted to squeeze the Peacock Great Ming King out of the sect’s power center to directly replace him.
However, Medicine King Buddha hadn’t anticipated such a strong reaction from the Peacock Great Ming King.
He actually directly betrayed the sect?
This betrayal from the Peacock Great Ming King was like overdosing on medicine.
Looking at the kneeling and begging Medicine King Buddha, the World Honored restrained himself from excessive punishment.
With the situation having reached this point, even killing Medicine King Buddha wouldn’t change anything.
"This mistake is noted for now; if there’s a next time, I’ll make sure you cannot live nor die!" The World Honored said coldly.
After reprimanding Medicine King Buddha, the World Honored turned his gaze to Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird.
Under his sharp gaze, Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird could not help but shiver.
The entire Mysterious World knows that the World Honored is ruthless.
They come to rely on the World Honored, aiming to divert trouble and provoke conflict.
No one knew if the World Honored would end their lives because of this.
However, after staring at Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird for a while, the World Honored slowly asked, "Would you three join my sect? In the future, you must give your all for the sect; in times of difficulty for the sect, there is no refusal."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The tone of the World Honored’s words implies no intention of taking action against them.
Their previous initiation ceremony was conducted by Lady Ming King.
Today, after hearing the World Honored’s words, it was considered a tacit approval of their inclusion in the sect.
For the World Honored, since the Peacock Great Ming King has betrayed the sect, gaining three Tier Two Peak Combat Power is quite a gain.
"Please rest assured, World Honored, we will surely give all our efforts for the benefit of the sect!" Bai Ze sincerely promised.
After Bai Ze’s promise, Xiang Liu and Chongming Bird also repeatedly echoed, expressing their agreement.
In Bai Ze’s view, whether they can fulfill it in the future can be discussed later, but for now, they certainly need to agree.
