Chapter 1954: Chapter 1900–1901: The Bodhisattva Takes Action, Sudden Twists and Turns
“No one will let the same gutter trap them twice!” Contemplating Arhat said coldly.
Facing the sudden onslaught of powerful figures from the Heterodox Alliance, watching the reversal of the situation, he showed not the slightest worry, but rather an expression of ’as expected’.
“Do you think that after the lessons from last time, we would repeat the same mistake? You must be courting death!” Contemplating Arhat said disdainfully.
Last time, three Arhat Venerates including Riding Deer Arhat were sent along with Guardian Monster Gods to encircle and annihilate Alliance Leader of the Heterodox Path, Zhao Baiyang. Not only did they fail, but they also lost several powerful figures from the Buddhism School, allowing Zhao Baiyang to seize the opportunity to become a Taoist Monarch.
This incident was a great humiliation for the Buddhism School, something their many powerful figures could not easily swallow.
Some Arhat Venerates might have considered last time a momentary oversight, but Contemplating Arhat, as the leader of this fleet, was not simply an arrogant fool who underestimated his opponents.
Especially given the various actions of the Heterodox Alliance during this time, which have left the Buddhism School in an embarrassing position, he takes such opponents even more seriously.
Though outwardly appearing indifferent to everyone in the Heterodox Alliance, in truth, he had studied a few vice alliance hierarchs and their ways of doing things for who knows how long.
This time, even though he was sent to attack the three immortal sects, with his character, how could he not consider the possibility that both sides might join forces, or even try to trap them again?
However, after the experience of last time’s information leak, even if he had some preparations and responses in mind, he did not easily reveal them; at least none of the many powerful figures from the Buddhism School present knew he had prepared a backup plan.
Contemplating Arhat was prepared; if everything went as normal, it would be nothing more than the Buddhism School wasting some time and effort, but if indeed unexpected events occurred, it would be extremely advantageous for the Buddhism School.
Because he was prepared, at this moment, seeing the people from the Heterodox Alliance charge out, he was not surprised but rather somewhat delighted.
“Request Bodhisattva to Act!” Contemplating Arhat spoke loudly, directing his words towards a room inside the sixth-generation warship he was stationed at.
As the commander of the Buddhism School for this mission, Contemplating Arhat naturally commanded a sixth-generation warship to oversee the fleet.
And within this sixth-generation warship, there was a room regarded by him as forbidden ground, strictly prohibiting any powerful figures from the Buddhism School from approaching, with absolute prohibition against violation.
Many Arhat Venerates speculated in their hearts that perhaps a powerful divine weapon treasure or even a magical treasure of a Bodhisattva might have been requested by Contemplating Arhat.
But after Contemplating Arhat spoke at this moment, they were extremely shocked.
Requesting Bodhisattva to act!
Was there actually a Taoist Monarch strength figure inside that room?
Which Bodhisattva from the Buddhism School had stealthily accompanied them to this place?
Is it really necessary to have a Taoist Monarch-level Bodhisattva personally act just to deal with the three immortal sects?
Of course, looking at the current situation, it’s not a problem for a Taoist Monarch Bodhisattva to oversee matters.
The terror of a Taoist Monarch-level being is well-known; even if the Heterodox Alliance and the three immortal sects combine, they still cannot compete with the warships of the Buddhism School once a Taoist Monarch steps in.
Isn’t it currently disallowed for Taoist Monarchs to intervene? Wouldn’t this incite resistance from various quarters?
But the situation has already reached this point, the strengths of both sides have already been reversed, and even if the Buddhism School achieves a draw in this battle, it’s essentially a loss.
In the eyes of the Heterodox Alliance and the three immortal sects, they cannot afford to lose this time; once defeated, rebuilding the fleet and cultivating powerful figures anew, even with their resources, would not be feasible in a short time.
But from the perspective of the Buddhism School, their current situation is no different, and losing this powerful fleet is not an option for them.
Even though the Buddhism School is vast and substantial, the current situation is dangerous, with perilous undercurrents. If this fleet is lost, how will the Buddhism School suppress the stability within their domain, and won’t other forces take advantage to fish in troubled waters?
Large immortal sects are another matter, but what if a top immortal sect decides to carve a piece while Buddhism School is weak?
Do not think it impossible; in today’s Chaos Void, anything might happen.
Just like no one expected the top overlords of the Buddhism School and Jade Emperor to ally against a large immortal sect’s Heterodox Alliance.
Nor did anyone anticipate that the Heterodox Alliance of a mere large immortal sect would not only refuse to compromise or seek peace under the attacks of the two top overlords but would also mount a strong counter-attack.
Furthermore, no one expected the Heterodox Alliance to cause such a mess within the Buddhism School, leaving them in disarray.
Thus, anything could happen, and for the Buddhism School, no unanticipated events should occur as they are unwilling to gamble on such possibilities.
So, when Contemplating Arhat proposed this idea, Mahasthamaprapta considered it for a while and agreed.
If it were the Bodhisattva previously in charge of the Buddhism School’s affairs, they might have refused this plan, as they didn’t even want to send fleets to attack the three immortal sects, preferring to temporarily compromise.
But Mahasthamaprapta is the hawk of the Buddhism School; he is tough on the outside, and since he advocated suppression of the three immortal sects to set an example, naturally, he was willing to have a foolproof plan, which was also beneficial for him.
As for whether it would be risky, breaking the rules of Taoist Monarch intervention, Mahasthamaprapta had thought it through very clearly.
