Chapter 536 - 530: Robbing Buddha Prison Plan
Once Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, Elder Bai’s heart was filled with delight.
The three of them, Guanyin Bodhisattva, were originally from the World Honored One Sect. If they were to join forces and combine their strengths...
Then, it would mean their power increased, and the World Honored One Sect’s power decreased.
Under such fluctuation of power, their chances of winning greatly improved.
After the initial excitement, Elder Bai’s face showed a tinge of worry.
Guanyin Bodhisattva’s willingness to join them was indeed a good thing.
However, facilitating this alliance required something crucial.
And that was to rescue Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
This task was not easy!
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva are currently confined in the Buddha Prison, and rescuing them means they must rob Buddha Prison.
Buddha Prison is located in the headquarters of the World Honored One Sect, with Medicine King Buddha openly as the sole Tier Two Peak Expert on guard.
Privately, who knows how many other Tier Two Peak Powerhouses are at the post.
Even the Peacock Great Ming King himself would not have much confidence in robbing Buddha Prison on his own.
The only way to rob Buddha Prison is if they all go together.
But then again, the battle at Silent Sea is about to begin.
Lady Ming King has brought four Tier Two Peak Experts, and Elder Bai and the others, just enough to counter these four Tier Two Peak Powerhouses.
If they leave, Silent Sea could not hold for even a moment.
In the end, their forces are too thin; they cannot attend to one without neglecting the other.
"Alas!" Elder Bai sighed heavily and said solemnly, "Rescuing them is not easy!"
As soon as Elder Bai spoke, Guanyin Bodhisattva’s face sank.
With Elder Bai saying it’s difficult, does it mean they have to let Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva wait for death in Buddha Prison?
Initially, everyone hoped Elder Bai could come up with a strategy.
Upon hearing Elder Bai say the task is tricky, the Peacock Great Ming King’s impulsive spirit was stirred.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, here’s the plan: you four should take care of Silent Sea."
"When the battle begins here, I will seize the chance to rob Buddha Prison while the Sect headquarters is vacant," said the Peacock Great Ming King.
Elder Bai glanced at the Peacock Great Ming King and earnestly said, "Great Ming King, you’re the one most familiar with whether headquarters will be vacant."
The World Honored One Sect is the largest sect in the Mysterious World.
The experts within the sect can’t only be as they appear.
These hidden experts usually do not interfere with sect affairs, but if you, Peacock Great Ming King, intrude to rob Buddha Prison, they will not sit idly by.
At that time, the chances of rescuing them would be extremely slim.
Having served as number two in the World Honored One Sect for these years, Peacock Great Ming King surely understands this truth.
Of course he knows, but out of camaraderie, Peacock Great Ming King cannot turn a blind eye to friends in danger.
Therefore, even knowing the odds are slim for robbing Buddha Prison, he still wants to give it a try.
"Wait a moment!" At this time, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "I have a way to rescue them!"
Once Lin Yuan had spoken, everyone gazed at him with strange eyes.
Everyone thought, even Tier Two Peak Elder Bai has no solution, what can Lin Yuan, junior as he is, possibly offer?
Elder Bai looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "Lin Yuan, what is your plan?"
Lin Yuan asked, "Elder Bai, do you remember previously when I had you place people in the various temples of the World Honored One Sect?"
Elder Bai was surprised for a moment, then replied, "Of course I remember, those who could devour others and take their appearance."
"Even Tier Two Peak Powerhouses wouldn’t notice anything odd."
Lin Yuan referred to the first batch of Gourmands created by the dean, placed in the temples of the World Honored One Sect as insiders.
Currently, these Gourmands are remotely controlled by people from the Real World.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "This time, when the World Honored One Sect sends people out on a large scale, our insiders among them will act."
"In this battle, when they are injured, the wounded will undoubtedly return to the sect headquarters for treatment, and by then, they can create chaos from within."
"Then, the Peacock Great Ming King and Guanyin Bodhisattva can feign attacking the sect headquarters, drawing out the hidden Tier Two Peak Powerhouses from the sect, while these insiders infiltrate Buddha Prison to rescue them."
"Once these insiders infiltrate Buddha Prison and meet Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva, here’s what they can do..."
After Lin Yuan explained his plan, the people were startled and amazed.
No one expected Lin Yuan to come up with such a solution.
Indeed, if executed according to Lin Yuan’s plan, there would be at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of rescuing Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Moreover, it could throw the World Honored One Sect into chaos.
This plan is certainly a two birds with one stone approach!
"A seventy to eighty percent chance of rescue is already substantial!"
"Let’s proceed with this plan!" Elder Bai firmly decided.
Currently, Lin Yuan’s plan is the best option available.
The Peacock Great Ming King and Guanyin Bodhisattva had no objections to this either.
At this moment, a golden streak soared by, and the Golden-Winged Roc appeared in front of everyone.
"They’re here!"
"Lady Ming King is leading her people; given their speed, the time it takes to reach Silent Sea is just one incense stick’s duration," the Golden-Winged Roc reported.
Upon hearing Lady Ming King’s arrival, Elder Bai turned to Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, return to the dojo first to avoid alarming the enemy."
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and swiftly vanished.
Following this, Elder Bai instructed the crowd, "Let’s also leave Silent Sea and hide on the perimeter."
"When the time comes for inside-out coordination, it will ease our actions."
Black Dragon Heaven and their forces are within Silent Sea, using it for defense.
While Elder Bai and the others must stay on the outskirts of Lady Ming King’s troops, closely observing any movements to assist Black Dragon Heaven at a moment’s notice.
"Great Ming King, unless absolutely necessary, do not engage!" Elder Bai reminded the Peacock Great Ming King carefully.
...

Meanwhile,
Guanyin Bodhisattva had arrived back at the dojo, at this moment, a child was about to pour wine for Duomu Arhat.
Guanyin Bodhisattva took the wine pot from the child, waved to dismiss him.
Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva downed half a pot of wine, splashed the remainder over himself.
Finally, he collapsed onto the table, pretending to be in a deep sleep.
Shortly after, Duomu Arhat groggily awakened.
"Oh dear!"
"Drinking delays matters, drinking delays matters indeed!" Duomu Arhat regretted his behavior, nearly slapping himself but paused when seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva asleep across the table.
"I never thought Guanyin’s tolerance for alcohol is worse than mine!" Duomu Arhat secretly chuckled.
