Chapter 679 - 673: Wa Huang’s Empty Promises
As for this eloquence, don’t say one Demon Lord, even ten Demon Lords would be absolutely no match for the Buddha.
The Buddha’s eloquence is as if he could make lotuses bloom with his words.
Initially, the Demon Lord did have his little schemes and plans.
However, after the Buddha’s persuasion, he became hesitant.
Everything has its priorities, and now, his opponent is clearly not the Buddha, but Wa Huang!
Indeed, as the Buddha said, if the Buddha were truly eliminated, the winner would definitely not be him, but Wa Huang.
Not to mention, Wa Huang at least has Xi Huang’s assistance.
Under the Demon Lord’s command, those few followers are nowhere near being a match for Xi Huang.
What’s more, Wa Huang has now taken Peacock Great Ming King as a general.
Back then, under the Demon Lord were the Four Great Demon Kings, who died at the hands of Peacock Great Ming King, didn’t they?
Although the Demon Lord is reckless, he is no fool.
He can clearly discern what is more important.
After the Buddha finished speaking, he stared intensely at the Demon Lord for a long while.
Seeing the Demon Lord say nothing for a long time, the Buddha directly spoke: "Since you, my friend, are unwilling, just consider I never said anything."
"From today onwards, I will retreat to cultivate, and no longer meddle in any affairs of heaven and earth. I will also no longer seek the Power of Faith in the universe."
"In the future, let you and Wa Huang, my friend, compete for this opportunity, just consider me automatically withdrawn."
After saying these words, the Buddha gave the Demon Lord no time to speak and turned to leave.
As soon as the Buddha stood up, the Demon Lord immediately panicked.
If the Buddha really withdrew, it would not be a good thing for him.
In a head-on confrontation, he is no match for that lousy woman Wa Huang.
Besides, the relationship between the Demon Lord and Wa Huang has always been bad.
If the Demon Lord loses to Wa Huang, who knows how Wa Huang will insult him.
As the Buddha rose, the Demon Lord grabbed him, quickly saying: "Friend, what are you doing?"
"We have been allied for so long, when have I not followed your words?"
"It has been this way in the past, naturally it is this way now, and it will not change in the future."
"I was just thinking, this time we suffered losses, and additionally, when we targeted the Void Race, we did not invite Wa Huang."
"Now that we suffer losses and troubles arise, can Wa Huang be willing to help us?"
"Friend, you know Wa Huang, that woman is not easy to deal with!"
"If we go there and Wa Huang doesn’t help, what should we do?"
Originally, the Demon Lord wanted to scheme against the Buddha.
But upon seeing the Buddha change his expression, he immediately diverted the crisis toward Wa Huang.
Clearly hesitating himself, he turned his reason for hesitation into a thought on whether Wa Huang would refuse.
When the Demon Lord expressed his stance, he told the Buddha that he was willing to help, but what if Wa Huang doesn’t help?
If Wa Huang doesn’t help, going to her would just be a wasted trip, wouldn’t it?
The Demon Lord is in conflict with Wa Huang, and this is attempting to leverage the Buddha to pressure Wa Huang.
Speaking of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, they’ve lived for countless years, none of them are easy to handle.
The Demon Lord gave the Buddha his stance, and so in reciprocity, the Buddha must also give the Demon Lord a response.
What if Wa Huang is unwilling to act, then what should be done?
After deliberating repeatedly, the Buddha spoke solemnly: "Yin Celestial Son’s reach has extended to the Void!"
"I think Wa Huang should not be unwilling to act."
"The Void is our stronghold; no one can remain unaffected, and anyone who wishes to stay uninvolved, watching predators fight from the sidelines, is my enemy."
This was a statement from the Buddha, clearly stating if Wa Huang doesn’t act and wants to remain uninvolved...
Then the Buddha will directly turn against her.
One should know, the Buddha has always played the white face, being the nice guy.
This time, being able to openly declare turning against, it already indicates the Buddha is indeed anxious.
Facing the circumstance of being almost eliminated, the Buddha has reached a point where the bare-footed are not afraid of the well-dressed.
The Buddha’s words indeed made the Demon Lord very satisfied.
For a long time, it was he and Wa Huang turning against each other, with the Buddha acting the nice guy.
When he clashed with Wa Huang, the Buddha never stood firmly by his side.
This time, the Demon Lord is taking the opportunity to push the Buddha to stand firmly by his side when he turns against Wa Huang.
"Good!"
"Since it’s like this, let’s go to Wa Huang’s Palace now!"
"Friend, this loss cannot be taken in vain!"
"Whether it’s the Yin Celestial Son or the Void Race, they all need to pay the price!" the Demon Lord hurriedly said.
After the Demon Lord and the Buddha reached a consensus, the two had another discussion, with a rough plan in mind, they headed straight for Wa Huang’s Palace.
...
...
Wa Huang’s Palace.
"What, the Great Burial Heaven Temple was burned by a third?"
"The Buddha suffered a huge loss, his disciples almost entirely dead or wounded?" Upon hearing this news, Wa Huang was shocked: "That Yin Celestial Son is indeed bold, reaching far enough."
"Just proven his path, yet dealt such a blow to the Buddha, even the Human Emperor back then was no better than this."
Wa Huang has Xi Huang’s assistance, which of course is an advantage compared to the Buddha and the Demon Lord.
Xi Huang daily probes information within the Void, keeping hidden cards.
Not long after the Buddha suffered a major loss, Xi Huang quickly uncovered the causes and informed Wa Huang of the matter.
In the Void, Wa Huang is indeed more informed than the Buddha or the Demon Lord.
Following Wa Huang’s words, Xi Huang spoke gently, "Sister, this matter is not bad news for us."
"Such ingenious tricks are often used only once; the Buddha suffered losses, and we won’t suffer again!"
"After the Buddha’s major loss, he is almost out of the game. What remains of the Demon Lord isn’t much of a concern."
"In my opinion, we should remain uninvolved and continue watching from the sidelines!"
"When the Demon Lord, the Buddha, and Yin Celestial Son are fiercely battling, attracting Yin Celestial Son’s focus, we then seize the opportunity to play the Peacock Great Ming King card."
"At that time, the last one laughing will surely be you, sister!"
Xi Huang’s words made Wa Huang quite pleased.
Wa Huang seems to have already envisaged herself advancing further, becoming the Common Lord of the Void and Heaven and Earth.
At that time, whether Buddha, Demon Lord, or Yin Celestial Son, all would submit to her.
The Void, Heaven, and Earth would all be within Wa Huang’s grasp.
Thinking of this, Wa Huang’s mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards.
"It’s all thanks to Big Brother’s help, Big Brother, rest assured, once I advance further, I will surely assist you in achieving Tier One!"
"By then, with us siblings joining forces, whether it’s Heaven, Earth, or the Void, it will all be our domain."
"All future profits will include your share without fail!" At this time, Wa Huang also didn’t forget to promise big rewards to Xi Huang.
