The scene froze completely in an instant, everyone's face was filled with tension, swords drawn and bows bent.
The Jade Emperor coldly looked at the Tathagata Buddha, slowly raising the Haotian Sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Daoist Duobao, you falsely accused me of disrupting the heavenly secrets and also recklessly raised troops, bringing them to the city. Now that nothing happened, you want to pat your butt and leave? You don't take me seriously, do you!"
The Tathagata Buddha glanced at his severed finger. Although he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, he still prioritized the overall situation.
Daoist Duobao had learned to be flexible early on in the Jie Sect, and he knew the importance of the overall situation. Otherwise, he would not have endured until Lao Tzu transformed the barbarians, allowing him to become a Buddha and ancestor.
Now that he was in the wrong, the Tathagata Buddha also knew that if he didn't handle it properly, it would definitely lead to very bad consequences, and it might be detrimental to the Journey to the West.
Immediately, the Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth, turned around, and deeply bowed to the Heavenly Court.
His teeth were almost crushed, and the voice was forced out from between his teeth:
"I'm sorry, I acted rashly and offended the Heavenly Court. I apologize to you!"
Seeing that the Tathagata Buddha actually bowed and apologized in person, the faces of all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats turned as black as ink.
They didn't expect that the Tathagata Buddha would be so unyielding, or directly say cowardly, coming to question with great fanfare, but now he has to apologize to others?!
This is probably the first time since the establishment of Western religion that a leader has apologized to others.
Especially, in front of the gods of the Heavenly Court, the Buddhas of the West, and the incarnations of the three saints, he bowed and apologized.
Maitreya Buddha behind the Tathagata Buddha also stopped smiling, with a black face, and snorted.
The Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha, Fearful Leaving Sun Buddha, and Mahavairocana Buddha secretly clenched their fists.
Everyone in the Western Paradise felt as if a palm was slapping them in the face, making everyone feel ashamed and red in the face.
The Jade Emperor's mouth curled up in a relieved smile. After fighting with the West for so long, this was the first time he had won so thoroughly, and it was also a victory that was so satisfying.
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but look at Chu Hao next to him with relief. The Prison God is still powerful, doing things without leaving a trace, even the saints can't find any clues, it's simply too amazing.
Ah, why didn't such a good young man appear earlier?
After the Tathagata Buddha apologized, he turned his head angrily and turned to leave.
And the three saint incarnations also thought that things were finally coming to an end, so they were about to leave on their own.
Even the Jade Emperor felt that this time he had already made a fortune.
But at this moment, a cold voice sounded.
"If apologies were useful, what would we need the Law Enforcement Prison God for?"
The Tathagata Buddha and the Western Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who were about to retreat were stunned and turned their heads stiffly.
They saw Chu Hao with bright eyes, pointing at the Tathagata Buddha without flinching,
"Yes, I'm talking about you! You, surnamed Ru, come back here!"
Tathagata Buddha: Am I surnamed Ru?
Tathagata turned around, his eyes filled with murderous intent, staring at Chu Hao, and said in a gloomy voice:
"What? Do you have any objections?"
The Jade Emperor was frightened and frantically winked at Chu Hao, calm down, Prison God, take what you can get!
For the Jade Emperor, this was already the best situation. The Western offensive had already failed, and for a long time, the Heavenly Court's prestige would greatly increase. This was already a huge profit for a large force!
Calm down,大佬, that's Tathagata...
However, Chu Hao didn't know how to calm down at all, and shouted at Tathagata with his hands on his hips:
"Is the Western world so arrogant? Do you think you can come here with great fanfare and waste so much of my Heavenly Court's financial and material resources?!"
Chu Hao ignored him and continued to speak frankly and directly:
"Do you think this is your broken Western Paradise? My Heavenly Court is worth every inch of land, and everyone knows its preciousness."
"Not only did you block my Heavenly Court's transportation hub, but you also occupied such a large area. You don't pay attention to hygiene, and you defecate everywhere. Who will clean up after you? Isn't it our hardworking Heavenly Court workers?!"
This time, not only was Tathagata angered to the point of vomiting blood, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were also angered to the point of high blood pressure.
What the hell do you mean by defecating everywhere?
I am the Buddha and Bodhisattva, not the chickens, ducks, and geese!
The Tathagata Buddha felt that his heart was about to explode with anger, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists,
"What exactly do you want?!"
Chu Hao slowly and calmly said:
"This time, in order to deal with your unreasonable troubles, my Heavenly Court has consumed a lot of manpower, and the Great Heavenly Venerable has even turned white because of this, right, Your Majesty?"
Jade Emperor: "Um... um... probably..."
The Jade Emperor had a painful expression on his face. The Nantian Gate probably hadn't had anyone go out for more than ten years. Charging a traffic jam fee was already outrageous enough. When did my hair turn white? Why don't I know?
Chu Hao said to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas without any politeness: "To put it simply, compensation."
Here it comes, Chu Hao's passive skill, extortion!
The Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth in anger. After saying so much, it was actually just for extortion?
"Do you think I'm a fool? I'll give you compensation so easily!"
The Taishang Laojun's face instantly turned ugly...
Tathagata, you bastard...
I am the fool...
Thinking of the few Nine Revolutions Golden Pills of Great Luo and Great Return Pills that were extorted by Chu Hao, Taishang Laojun felt a pain in his liver.
Chu Hao waved his hands and leaned back tactically,
"Okay, so there's nothing to talk about?"
The Tathagata Buddha coldly looked at Chu Hao and scolded in a sinister voice:
"You evil creature, you are unfilial. I am the ancestor of all Buddhas in the West, with supreme majesty. How can I submit to you, an evil creature! Wouldn't I, the dignified Tathagata Buddha, lose all face?"
"If you continue to pester me, be careful with your dog life!"
The Jade Emperor couldn't sit still and was about to stand up.
However, Chu Hao seemed to suddenly stop being reckless and returned to the ranks.
The Jade Emperor smiled with relief, good, good, it's good for young people to know how to restrain themselves, don't always think about extortion, that's too inhuman.
The Jade Emperor thought that Chu Hao had seen the light.
Even all the gods and Buddhas present, and the three saint incarnations, felt that Chu Hao had retreated.
However, suddenly a sentence popped out of Chu Hao's mouth,
"Go back and deep-fry cicadas, the larvae of golden cicadas must be very fragrant and nutritious!"
Then Chu Hao turned around and was about to leave.
The Tathagata was stunned for a moment and ridiculed loudly:
"You really know how to find an excuse for yourself, you've lost face, haven't you, Prison God?"
"Hmph, you dare to say anything. Eating deep-fried cicadas is something only ordinary people would do, and you're still complacent about it. You're getting worse and worse."
"And golden cicadas, are they very powerful? Very power... Wait, golden cicadas..."
The Tathagata Buddha suddenly had a flash of inspiration,
Cicada = Chan
Golden Cicada = Golden Chan
The larvae of golden cicadas...
He lowered his head and calculated with his fingers, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with endless horror, and roared:
"Stop right there!!!"
"You, you, you, you caught the Golden Chanzi!!!"
