Chapter 529 - 523: World Honored’s Decree Arrives
World Honored One Sect.
The Grand Hall.
Lady Ming King, Medicine King Buddha, and other Buddhas were all gathered here.
They were waiting, waiting for Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other two to return and report the situation.
The disappearance of the Chongming Bird, who was the Great Auspicious Buddha of the sect, was no small matter.
If this matter is not clarified, it will remain a hidden danger.
Especially Bai Ze and Xiang Liu, the two were truly in panic!
With Chongming Bird missing, they were afraid that they would be next.
Without understanding why Chongming Bird consistently disappeared, they were unwilling to separate from Medicine King Buddha and the others.
After all, Medicine King Buddha, Infinite Buddha, Dingguang Buddha, they were all veteran Tier Two Peak experts.
Staying together in this grand hall, if any accidents happen, they would have a few helping hands.
Just as Lady Ming King, Medicine King Buddha, and others were waiting for Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others to return.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light appeared.
And then, a dharma scroll emitting golden Buddha’s Radiance appeared out of thin air in the grand hall.
Seeing this scene, Medicine King Buddha and Lady Ming King exchanged a glance, immediately knelt on the ground, and shouted: "We welcome the dharma scroll of the World Honored."
Seeing Lady Ming King and Medicine King Buddha kneel down, Infinite Buddha, Dingguang Buddha, Xiang Liu, and Bai Ze also quickly knelt down.
This dharma scroll had the presence of the World Honored One.
Without a doubt, this was the World Honored issuing them a command.
After about three to five breaths, the golden light disappeared, and the dharma scroll fell into Lady Ming King’s hands.
"When my father left this time, he said that in this seclusion, he must successfully attain enlightenment. No enlightenment, no emergence."
"It seems that my father is currently at a critical stage of enlightenment and cannot meet us, thus issuing commands through the dharma scroll." Lady Ming King slowly said.
Medicine King Buddha also speculated that the World Honored was likely at the most crucial stage of closure this time.
In the past, the World Honored would still act with his incarnations, but this time, he didn’t even reveal his incarnations to the world.
It seems that the World Honored truly is on the verge of enlightenment.
"Quick, open the dharma scroll and see what commands the World Honored has!" Medicine King Buddha said to Lady Ming King.
Hearing this, Lady Ming King quickly opened the dharma scroll.
On the scroll were written a line of words.
"Annihilate the Silent Sea, kill Black Dragon Heaven."
Seeing this line, Lady Ming King’s pupils contracted involuntarily.
She knew that Lady Ming King and the Medicine King Buddha’s plan was to recruit Black Dragon Heaven.
Now, the World Honored One’s command was completely contrary to their plan.
"Medicine King Buddha, look!" Lady Ming King said as she handed the decree to Medicine King Buddha.
Sure enough, after Medicine King Buddha saw the writing on the decree, his expression also darkened.
Subsequently, Infinite Buddha, Dingguang Buddha, and others passed the decree around for viewing.
After reading the decree, Medicine King Buddha slowly said: "The World Honored One’s command cannot be wrong, it seems, our thinking was wrong!"
"This Black Dragon Heaven must have something strange, we must at all costs annihilate the Silent Sea and kill Black Dragon Heaven."
The World Honored One has supreme authority within the sect, and his decree must be executed unconditionally.
Lady Ming King nodded and also said: "Since my father issued the decree even in seclusion, ordering us to annihilate Silent Sea and eliminate Black Dragon Heaven."
"It is evident that this is a very important matter and cannot be taken lightly."
"In this battle, we shall no longer hold back, let us use the entire sect’s strength!"
While Lady Ming King and Medicine King Buddha were conversing, a little monk walked in from outside.
The little monk reported: "To Lady Ming King, to all the Buddhas present, the three Bodhisattvas have returned to report."
Upon hearing this, Medicine King Buddha’s eyes gleamed, unexpectedly, all three of them had returned.
"Just in time!"
"I was just going to see what they have found about Black Dragon Heaven, to know the enemy and oneself is to win a hundred battles." Medicine King Buddha said in a deep voice.
As soon as Medicine King Buddha’s words fell, Lady Ming King ordered the little monk: "Let the three of them come in."
Soon, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva walked in from outside.
As Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped into the hall, his heart involuntarily sank, giving birth to a sense of foreboding.
This feeling was a unique intuition of a Tier Two Peak expert.
Last time, when Black Dragon Heaven attempted to poison the Great Auspicious Buddha with toxic wine, the Great Auspicious Buddha’s intuition was what prevented him from drinking it.
Even though Guanyin Bodhisattva felt uneasy, he had already stepped into the grand hall, and it was too late to turn back now.
Standing before five Buddhas, five Tier Two Peak experts, he couldn’t escape.
Even if he could run, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva definitely couldn’t escape.
Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva had no choice but to brace himself and walk into the grand hall.
"Lady Ming King, Medicine King Buddha, we three have come to report!" Guanyin said towards Medicine King Buddha and Lady Ming King above.
Lady Ming King and Medicine King Buddha exchanged a look, with Medicine King Buddha asking: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, I sent you to meet Peacock Great Ming King, have you found out whether it’s him who attacked Great Auspicious Buddha?"
"I went to Peacock Great Ming King’s dojo, but I did not see him."
"However, I believe it wasn’t the work of Peacock Great Ming King." Guanyin Bodhisattva replied.
Upon hearing this, Medicine King Buddha immediately retorted angrily: "Absurd, Guanyin, listen to yourself, what are you saying?"
"First you say you didn’t see Peacock Great Ming King, then you say it’s not him. If he is not in the dojo, isn’t that exactly what indicates that he did it?"
Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva explained: "Medicine King Buddha may not know, I asked the mountain guardian divine beast at Peacock Great Ming King’s dojo, according to the divine beast, the Great Ming King left to search the Void for breakthrough opportunities on the day he defected from the sect."
"Peacock Great Ming King has not returned so far, so I speculate that this wasn’t done by the Great Ming King."
Guanyin Bodhisattva’s statements were all pre-arranged with Peacock Great Ming King and Elder Bai.
Everything Guanyin Bodhisattva said was true, only selectively so, which is why Medicine King Buddha didn’t detect anything amiss.
"If it wasn’t Peacock Great Ming King, then surely the problem lies with Black Dragon Heaven."
"No wonder the World Honored One issued a dharma scroll ordering us to annihilate Silent Sea and kill Black Dragon Heaven!" Medicine King Buddha mused internally, increasingly convinced of the issue with Black Dragon Heaven.
From Guanyin Bodhisattva’s words, Medicine King Buddha found no fault, next, it was time to question Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
"Manjushri Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, did you have any findings on this journey?" Medicine King Buddha continued to ask.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva exchanged a glance and the articulate Manjushri Bodhisattva was the first to speak: "As for Black Dragon Heaven, he holds no malice towards the sect, anything we inquired, he answered fully without reservation..."
"Regarding the Great Auspicious Buddha, Black Dragon Heaven said he never met him. I surmise that Great Auspicious Buddha met with trouble on his way to Silent Sea."
