Chapter 543 - 537: Setting a Trap for the Medicine King Buddha
"Guanyin, it’s me..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva was drinking and discussing the Dao with Duomu Arhat, when suddenly, the voice of the Peacock Great Ming King sounded in his mind.
Upon hearing the Peacock Great Ming King’s voice, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn’t help but feel delighted.
According to Elder Bai’s plan, if the Peacock Great Ming King sought him out, it meant that the situation at Silent Sea was in full swing.
It’s time for them to act.
Ever since Manjushri Bodhisattva and Pengji Bodhisattva were imprisoned in Buddha Prison, Guanyin Bodhisattva had been full of worry.
He feared that something would happen to Manjushri Bodhisattva and Pengji Bodhisattva in Buddha Prison, and only by rescuing them could Guanyin Bodhisattva breathe a sigh of relief.
"Great Ming King, can we proceed on our side now?" Guanyin Bodhisattva transmitted his voice to ask the Peacock Great Ming King.
"The plan has changed; I’ll go to Buddha Prison myself."
"You go to Silent Sea, and here’s what you need to do..." Peacock Great Ming King transmitted detailed instructions to Guanyin Bodhisattva on what to do next.
After hearing the Peacock Great Ming King’s instructions, Guanyin Bodhisattva replied, "Alright, I understand."
Once the instructions were given, the Peacock Great Ming King left Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Dao field and secretly approached Buddha Prison to prepare for the upcoming actions.
In Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Dao field, after the Peacock Great Ming King left, Guanyin Bodhisattva continued drinking and discussing the Dao with Duomu Arhat.
As Guanyin Bodhisattva drank, he seemed to have drunk too much. He pulled Duomu Arhat over and asked, "Duomu, do you think Manjushri and Pengji could be traitors?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Pengji Bodhisattva held higher positions in the sect than Duomu Arhat.
Moreover, both Manjushri Bodhisattva and Pengji Bodhisattva were friends of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so Duomu Arhat certainly couldn’t say they were traitors in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Therefore, Duomu Arhat hurriedly shook his head and said, "They can’t be, absolutely not!"
"Crash."
"Bang." As soon as Duomu Arhat spoke, Guanyin Bodhisattva flipped the table over, causing the dishes and wine vessels to smash on the ground.
"Outrageous, outrageous!"
"If they aren’t traitors, then why imprison them in Buddha Prison?"
"Lady Ming King is a woman with long hair and short knowledge; how can she manage the sect!" Guanyin Bodhisattva cursed at Lady Ming King.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was a tier two peak expert, and he dared to curse Lady Ming King.
But Duomu Arhat did not dare.
At this moment, as Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared to be in a drunken rage, Duomu Arhat also dared not oppose him.
"Sigh!" Duomu Arhat sighed heavily, thinking that this task was indeed difficult!
He couldn’t offend Guanyin Bodhisattva or Lady Ming King, so he dared not say anything, only offering a wry smile.
After scolding Lady Ming King, Guanyin Bodhisattva pulled Duomu Arhat over again and asked, "Duomu, where did you say Lady Ming King was just now?"
Duomu Arhat: "????"
Duomu Arhat was perplexed, not understanding what Guanyin Bodhisattva meant.
Duomu Arhat thought, if you want to curse someone, just do it. Why care about where the person being cursed is?
Duomu Arhat stood there, not answering, and Guanyin Bodhisattva shouted, "I’m asking you, where is Lady Ming King."
Startled by Guanyin Bodhisattva’s shout, Duomu Arhat’s body shivered, his mind blank for a moment, but his mouth opened first: "Lady Ming King led armies to Silent Sea to annihilate Black Dragon Heaven."
As soon as Duomu Arhat spoke, he sensed something was wrong.
Then Duomu Arhat hastily asked, "Bodhisattva, why do you inquire about Lady Ming King’s whereabouts?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva pushed Duomu Arhat away and said angrily, "I’m going to find Lady Ming King and make her release Manjushri Bodhisattva and Pengji Bodhisattva."
"If she refuses, I’ll kill her!"
After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva flew straight towards the direction of Silent Sea.
Duomu Arhat saw this and thought, this is a disaster, truly a disaster!
He rushed forward, clinging to Guanyin Bodhisattva’s arm and shouted, "Absolutely not, absolutely not!"
"Bodhisattva, if you kill Lady Ming King, it will lead to big trouble!"
"Trouble, what trouble?"
"At most, I’ll sacrifice for her!" Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed completely undaunted.
However, Duomu Arhat held tightly onto Guanyin Bodhisattva, refusing to let him leave.
"Do not stop me, or I will not hesitate to retaliate!" Guanyin Bodhisattva shouted angrily.
Duomu Arhat gripped Guanyin Bodhisattva’s arm tightly, refusing to let go: "No way, if you want me to release, you’ll have to kill me!"
"Alright!" Guanyin Bodhisattva agreed promptly.
Duomu Arhat: "????"
Seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva agree so swiftly, Duomu Arhat was bewildered.
Duomu Arhat thought, we just had drinks and discussions, and promised to be good friends, didn’t we?
Yet...
You’re incredibly fickle.
Before Duomu Arhat could react, Guanyin Bodhisattva had already struck out with a palm, sending Duomu Arhat flying.
With a loud "boom," Duomu Arhat was sent flying by Guanyin Bodhisattva and crashed into a mountain.
Duomu Arhat was embedded into the rock face, unable to be pried loose.
Finally extricating himself from the rock face, when Duomu Arhat went to look for Guanyin Bodhisattva again, Guanyin Bodhisattva had vanished.
"It’s over!"
"This time, it’s completely over!" Duomu Arhat muttered to himself, standing there in a daze.
After being stunned for a while, Duomu Arhat realized the sheer difference in strength between Guanyin Bodhisattva and himself.
Trying to stop Guanyin Bodhisattva was akin to a mantis trying to stop a carriage.
"Call for help!"
"I must seek help and inform Medicine King Buddha so he can quickly aid Lady Ming King!" With this thought, Duomu Arhat hurried off to find Medicine King Buddha.
If Guanyin Bodhisattva really intended to kill Lady Ming King, he could have simply killed Duomu Arhat, not giving him the chance to alert anyone, catching Lady Ming King off guard.
However, the palm strike Guanyin Bodhisattva just delivered was actually restrained, deliberately sparing Duomu Arhat.
Leaving Duomu Arhat was precisely for allowing him to report to Medicine King Buddha.
Guanyin Bodhisattva intentionally staged a drunken frenzy, claiming to kill Lady Ming King, as a trap for Medicine King Buddha.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, as a tier two peak expert, should he want to kill Lady Ming King, Medicine King Buddha would need to dispatch tier two peak experts from the sect to save Lady Ming King.
This way, Elder Bai’s strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain would succeed.
According to Elder Bai’s prediction, the success rate of this luring strategy was at least seventy to eighty percent.
Unless Medicine King Buddha ignores Lady Ming King’s life.
However, that’s absolutely impossible.
Lady Ming King is the daughter of the World Honored One; if she were to die, Medicine King Buddha would have no way to answer to the World Honored One.
