Chapter 347 - 345: The Buddhist Sect Takes Action!
There are many things that may not be handled well if handled by oneself, especially when a whole 1.8 billion Human Race suddenly reenters the current society.
Not only will they find it hard to adapt, but even those who have long become accustomed to the current society will not be able to reintegrate them in a short time.
Therefore, rather than making a mess of it myself, it’s better to let my master handle it.
Thinking of this, Su Mo directly said, “If the Spirit Race can solve this matter, that would be best. I wonder how long it will take you to call them over here.”
If it were before, Su Mo might have gone there himself.
However, since someone is willing to help, Su Mo certainly won’t be polite.
The main thing is, if he goes himself, he might end up in a big fight or even threaten the other party.
Rather than that, it’s better to let these people help.
Beiji Celestial Venerable didn’t speak, but instead turned to look at the current Palace Master of Beiji Celestial Palace.
After all, such a matter did not require him, a Daoist Venerable, to take action, and the Spirit Race didn’t have a Daoist Venerable level expert.
If the Spirit Race had a Daoist Venerable level expert, perhaps it would still require him to mediate, and it would even be possible that the other side wouldn’t show him any respect.
But just mentioning Su Mo’s name, whether the other party is willing to show face or not, they must obediently come over and treat this big shot.
However, since they don’t even have a Daoist Venerable, there’s naturally no need for him to take action.
The Palace Master of Beiji Daoist Palace thought for a moment: “The least is 7 days, the most is half a month, and I will bring all the people of the Spirit Race here.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo nodded: “Good, if that’s the case, then I’ll trouble you all. I still need to make a trip to the Western Heaven. Master, how about coming along?”
Chu Tian naturally knew the purpose of Su Mo’s trip to the Western Heaven, not only to retrieve that shameless old friend of his, but more importantly, it’s about time to settle the feud of the Human Race!
Thinking of this, Chu Tian didn’t hesitate at all and immediately said, “Alright!”
Just this simple word already declared Chu Tian’s determination.
However, Beiji Celestial Venerable was slightly pondering at this time, before finally saying, “If it were before, going to the Western Heaven would only require a piece of Space Stone, but now it probably requires a trip to the Void, and then directly entering the Western Heaven from the Void is the fastest route.
If fellow Daoist doesn’t mind, I can lead the way ahead.”
A moment later, three figures entered the Void, preparing to head to the Western Heaven.
…
Time went back to two months ago, and the Buddhist Sect in the Western Heaven didn’t know where they got the news that everything that happened earlier was all because of Su Mo.
Even a world was destroyed because of it!
And a Daoist Venerable level expert fell.
Such news was akin to the sky falling for the Buddhist Sect.
Originally, they didn’t care about the previous upheaval, after all, their Buddhist Sect had such a large foundation here, and as long as the entire Buddhist Sect wasn’t irreversibly damaged, it wouldn’t take long to return to the peak again.
Although the previous anomaly did affect them a bit, it wasn’t a significant issue.
But if the blame for this matter is placed on Su Mo, then the problem becomes immense.
Why didn’t they occupy the nearest Great Cyan Heaven back then, and why did they run all the way to the remote barren Great Western Heaven, wasn’t it all because of that person named Su Mo?
Now Su Mo has returned, and they already knew this before.
Although the power Su Mo had displayed before was indeed strong, destroying the entire Western Heaven, especially when they were already prepared, was still somewhat difficult.
They even boldly pondered, if they had the chance, they wanted to capture Su Mo.
However, what happened not long ago made it impossible for them to sit still any longer.
Not only did it shatter a world, but it also annihilated a Daoist Venerable.
The current Buddhist Sect doesn’t even have a Daoist Venerable, and even if they did, it probably wouldn’t be enough for Su Mo to deal with with one hand.
Thus, under the discussion of the three World Honored Ones, Nine Great Bodhisattvas, and Eighteen Arhats, the Buddhist Sect directly abandoned their massive legacy and fled.
Such a thought couldn’t escape the notice of Tu Hongwu, who had always been watching this side.
However, Tu Hongwu had indeed become much more honest during this period.
Previously he blocked the entrance of Buddhism just to pass out the message, telling Su Mo to find him later.
But now that Su Mo has found him, others will naturally know his location, so the matter at the Buddhist gates is no longer necessary.
Not only that, but it’s better to keep a safe distance away.
Especially after Su Mo did this thing, Buddhism also understood that they were simply no match for Su Mo, so under such circumstances, who knows what actions they might take.
Whether they would flee directly or kill Tu Hongwu with a knife before leaving, or even tie him up and take him along, were all potential scenarios.
So during this period, Tu Hongwu only kept an eye on the Buddhist Sect’s movements, but didn’t dare to go out or even show his face.
He would think this way, and the Buddhist Sect naturally thought this too, and even when Tu Hongwu hadn’t thought of it, the people of the Buddhist Sect had already begun planning how to handle Tu Hongwu.
Whether to kill him quickly or just tie him up or directly ignore him.
These three ideas corresponded to the three schools of thought within the Buddhist Sect, with the extreme choosing to kill, the moderate choosing to kidnap, and the last more timidly choosing to ignore.
According to the thought of the extreme faction, if Su Mo showed up, they wouldn’t be able to escape anyway, so they might as well drag someone down with them, and Tu Hongwu was the best candidate for that.
The moderate thought was, killing him was definitely out of the question, if they killed him, they wouldn’t even have the most basic bargaining chip, so they might as well tie him up and discuss when Su Mo arrived.
As for the last faction’s thought, it was to eat and drink well, and if Su Mo came, no one would be able to run, so there was no need to do anything, just live each day as it comes.
Instead of worrying about all these messy things, it’s better to live a carefree and enjoyable life.
Such an idea caused a dispute within the Buddhist Sect.
Even because of this plan to escape, the entire Buddhist Sect was directly divided into three forces, except for the south, the other three directions each split into one.
Why not choose the south, mainly because Profound Nether Heaven was just to the south of the Western Heaven, and whether it was the will of heaven and earth or some reason, the Buddhist Sect appeared in the east, west, and north, but the south was conspicuously absent.
It really came true as they recited the Buddhist title, Namo Amitabha.
However, before they left, an operation targeting Tu Hongwu also began.
