Chapter 539 - 533: Attack from Both Sides
The woman, Lady Ming King, is a bit foolish.
But fortunately, she can still be persuaded.
With the advice from Guangzhi Arhat, Lady Ming King realized she couldn’t just launch a full-scale attack right away.
She needed to play her cards one at a time, otherwise, if she were to fail, how would she answer to her father, the World Honored?
Since she couldn’t attack on three fronts, she would initiate an offensive from one direction and conduct a pincer attack on Black Dragon Heaven.
"Guangzhi Arhat, pass the order to command Great Wisdom Buddha to attack as well."
This time, Lady Ming King did not consult Guangzhi Arhat’s opinion but directly commanded Great Wisdom Buddha, which was Bai Ze, to launch an attack from the south.
After sending Guangzhi Arhat to deliver the order, Lady Ming King whispered to herself, "Black Dragon Heaven, I want to see how many allies you have to assist you."
This time, Lady Ming King brought with her four Tier Two Peak Experts.
Currently, she still had Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha, who hadn’t been deployed yet.
If the battle turned unfavorable, Lady Ming King could still summon other Buddhas for support.
In Lady Ming King’s view, there was no reason for her to lose this battle.
On the southern side of the Silent Sea, Bai Ze was troubled.
Upon seeing the Golden-Winged Roc appear, Bai Ze already knew that behind Black Dragon Heaven, there was support from that old White Elder.
Speaking of Elder Bai, Bai Ze became so angry that his teeth itched.
If Bai Ze hated anything most, it would be the Peacock Great Ming King, followed by no one else but Elder Bai.
Back then, when the Peacock Great Ming King invaded the Ten Thousand Mountains, they mobilized a large force from the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it seemed like they were about to capture the Peacock Great Ming King.
Who would have thought that White Elder would suddenly intervene?
If Elder Bai hadn’t chosen to help the Peacock Great Ming King, the Ten Thousand Mountains wouldn’t have fallen, and they would still be reigning over the mountains!
They wouldn’t have had to join the World Honored and live under someone else’s roof.
"You white-headed one!"
"You just won’t let it go, I haven’t settled with you yet, and you’re plotting against us again?"
"Chongming Bird must be in your hands, don’t you dare fall into mine, otherwise you’ll suffer greatly!" Bai Ze said through gritted teeth.
Originally, among the old immortals of the Ten Thousand Mountains, Divine Beast Bai Ze was considered relatively gentle in temperament.
However, ever since the fall of the Ten Thousand Mountains, through this series of events, Bai Ze’s temperament had begun to twist.
Even to the point of becoming increasingly bloodthirsty, brutal, and venomous...
Bai Ze’s dark personality seemed to be growing wildly.
Perhaps, this wasn’t Bai Ze’s doing.
Instead, it was the side effect of entering the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool, beginning to manifest slowly.
Soon, Guangzhi Arhat arrived at the area overseen by Great Wisdom Buddha, which was Bai Ze’s responsibility.
Upon seeing Guangzhi Arhat approaching, Bai Ze spoke first, before he could explain, "Did Lady Ming King give an order to attack?"
Guangzhi Arhat: "?????"
Guangzhi Arhat thought to himself, no wonder Bai Ze is called Great Wisdom Buddha, he is indeed much smarter than that brute, Pingjiang Dinghai Buddha.
"Indeed!"
"Lady Ming King orders Great Wisdom Buddha to launch an immediate attack." Guangzhi Arhat reported truthfully.
"Good!"
"I’ll arrange it promptly!" Bai Ze nodded in agreement.
Bai Ze knew very well that the white-headed ones must be hiding in the shadows.
They had to be forced out into the open to be conveniently captured in one go.
"I want to see, which of you white-headed ones will you send to resolve this?"
"Will you come personally, or send that fox spirit?" Bai Ze murmured softly.
What Elder Bai had available at the Tier Two Peak level consisted of himself, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, the Golden-Winged Roc, and the Black Bear Spirit.
Bai Ze compared their strengths internally; Elder Bai and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder were stronger than him, the Golden-Winged Roc was of equal strength, while the Black Bear Spirit was weaker.
The Golden-Winged Roc had already been sent to handle Xiang Liu, so only Elder Bai himself and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder were left to deal with him.
"I want to see who you send to face me!"
"As long as I can hold on, let’s see how you deal with Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha!" Bai Ze pondered to himself.
Due to the information brought back by Guanyin Bodhisattva, saying that Peacock Great Ming King was undergoing trials in the Void, Bai Ze did not consider the Peacock Great Ming King.
Next, regardless of whether Elder Bai or the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder would confront him.
The weakest Black Bear Spirit would have to face either Infinite Buddha or Dingguang Buddha, and the Black Bear Spirit was certainly no match for either of them.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze no longer hesitated and immediately launched an attack towards the Silent Sea.
Once Bai Ze made his move, Elder Bai began his arrangements as well.
Peacock Great Ming King could not be moved lightly; he was Elder Bai’s key card in robbing the Buddha Prison.
If Peacock Great Ming King revealed himself now, it might affect the subsequent changes.
So, the individuals who could go against Bai Ze were only three.
Now, with the Silent Sea being surrounded on all sides, the enemies had activated the arrangements on the north and south sides, leaving the arrangements on the east and west sides untouched.
Elder Bai needed to remain seated and couldn’t act so early.
"I’ll go!" The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder volunteered.
Despite being a woman, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder had formidable strength.
In terms of power, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder was definitely stronger than Bai Ze.
After hearing the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s proactive offer, Elder Bai contemplated for a moment, then shook his head, "No, you can’t go."
The next moment, Elder Bai pointed at the Black Bear Spirit, saying, "You go!"
Black Bear Spirit: "?????"
Black Bear Spirit was utterly baffled, thinking, why is this on me all of a sudden?
Having pointed at himself, expressing disbelief, he confirmed again in surprise, "What, me?"
"What’s the matter, are you scared?" asked Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder.
Black Bear Spirit quickly shook his head, explaining, "I’m not afraid, I’m thick-skinned and sturdy; even if I can’t beat him, he can’t kill me!"
"It’s just, I’m afraid I can’t handle him. If I lose the battle, will it affect the morale?"
Black Bear Spirit and Golden-Winged Roc were two completely contrasting personalities.
The Golden-Winged Roc was excessively proud, always having a bizarre self-confidence.
While Black Bear Spirit was quite self-aware, even somewhat self-deprecating.
"No worries!"
"It doesn’t matter if you can’t beat him; as long as you can take hits!"
"Hold on for two hours; even if you lose, I’ll credit you with a merit."
"But if you don’t last for two hours..." Elder Bai slowly began to speak.
Before Elder Bai could finish, Black Bear Spirit interrupted him, saying, "Two hours is not a problem. My forte is defense; not just two hours, I could hold him for four hours without issue."
Black Bear Spirit confidently assured, having considerable faith in his defensive capabilities.
