#3604 - Tushita Palace: Setting up the Bureau
If those two joined forces to deal with the Supreme Lord Lao, they could forcefully leave the Tushita Palace...
Being on someone else's territory, the Heavenly Court, just making a move already requires great courage.
Now that Haotian has personally appeared, the situation is fundamentally different.
Fighting... definitely can't happen.
Forget that the Supreme Lord Lao is here; even without him,
the two Saints, Receiving and Guide, didn't gain any advantage in the Hall of Universal Brightness before.
Unless one really wants to find trouble.
Otherwise, making a move at this time is just asking for discomfort.
Resolving this matter was already troublesome enough.
Can't keep adding fuel to the fire.
Now that the Supreme Lord Lao said to let Haotian preside over justice...
The Receiving Saint and Guide Saint naturally understood what was going on.
It was clearly a trap set by the two of them!
It was really hateful!
Since things have come to this, the Receiving Saint inquired, "Fellow Daoist Haotian, what do you think of this matter?"
Haotian pretended to ponder and said, "I think compensation should be given. Lord Lao spent so many natural treasures guiding you two to improve your alchemy skills, it's indeed a pity to have wasted them for nothing..."
The Guide Saint couldn't sit still upon hearing this, he roared angrily:
"Isn't this just a trick you two are playing!"
Haotian asked in surprise, "You say this is a trick we two are playing? What are you talking about?"
The Guide Saint pointed at the pills inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace and said, "Hmph, this is clearly just a pile of worthless junk, don't even think about us compensating anything."
Hearing this, Haotian not only didn't get angry, but instead looked at the Supreme Lord Lao.
Receiving Haotian's signal, the Supreme Lord Lao said, "If you two want to avoid compensating, that's fine. My furnace of pills will be ready in another hundred thousand years, as long as you wait here for this furnace of pills to be born."
The faces of the Receiving Saint and Guide Saint twitched slightly.
Listen to what he's saying, 'just' waiting for a hundred thousand years for it to be refined.
Isn't this pure nonsense!
Let alone a hundred thousand years, with the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation causing so much trouble in the Western religion,
if they don't return, the Western religion will definitely be in chaos.
Staying here for a hundred thousand years... everything will be too late!
The two Saints of the Western religion even had a premonition in their hearts.
If they really waited for a hundred thousand years, perhaps after leaving the Tushita Palace, it wouldn't even be certain if the Western religion still existed as a power within the Primordial World.
It's not that they lack confidence in their own power.
It's mainly that they are terrified of the Heavenly Court's various operations.
Don't doubt whether Haotian would do this.
There's only one answer, and that is he definitely would.
The Receiving Saint said meaningfully, "It seems the two of you aren't planning to let us leave just like that?"
Haotian nodded and said, "You can understand it that way!"
"If you two want to have a fight, then I'll accompany you!"
The Guide Saint looked at the Receiving Saint, "Senior Brother, what do we do?"
He felt extremely regretful in his heart...
When his Senior Brother came to the Heavenly Court, he had advised him, saying that they would definitely suffer a loss here.
Now his initial guess has become reality.
If he had been more firm in his attitude back then, wouldn't they have avoided this situation?
The Western religion's situation being difficult is one thing.
But they are still Saints!
Being manipulated like this... it's really upsetting.
The Receiving Saint didn't want to fight Haotian and the Supreme Lord Lao's combination at all.
If they could win, that would be one thing.
But knowing they can't win and still forcing a fight, isn't that just asking to be abused?
Thinking of this, the Receiving Saint directly chose to yield.
Isn't this just blatantly scamming people!
Who asked their side to be weaker?
As the weaker side, they can only silently endure being scammed.
"I wonder how much compensation Lord Lao needs to let this matter be over?"
When he said this, the Receiving Saint gritted his teeth.
Half an hour later.
The Receiving Saint roared, "That's impossible! You're asking for the moon!"
The compensation the Supreme Lord Lao was asking for was simply making things difficult for them.
The Western religion has the Merit Golden Lotus, and they actually want to take that as compensation...
Even if the Merit Golden Lotus was damaged after the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, it is still a top-tier treasure.
How could such a treasure be given away for nothing?
Moreover, being taken away in this situation is no different from being robbed.
The Supreme Lord Lao wasn't in a hurry. These things definitely can't be negotiated well in a short time.
Anyway, the initiative is on their side. It's clear who will be anxious in the end if they drag it out.
"Since Fellow Daoist doesn't agree, then it's fine for us to discuss this matter in detail." The Supreme Lord Lao said slowly.
The Receiving Saint and Guide Saint's expressions were already extremely ugly.
They had figured out what was going on. What detailed discussion!
Bullshit! It's clearly using the situation to manipulate them.
Three days later.
The day after the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation killed another traitor of the Western religion who had defected to the Chaos Gods,
the Receiving Saint and Guide Saint were truly anxious.
Even if they were killing traitors, they couldn't do it so frequently!
Making a commotion every day was slapping the face of the Western religion.
And incidentally, the prestige of the Western religion was being constantly trampled on the ground because of the traitorous affair.
This was somewhat infuriating.
That day, the two Saints of the Western religion left the Heavenly Court with extremely pained expressions.
Only they themselves knew how much they had paid in the Tushita Palace to be able to escape...
The Guide Saint snorted angrily, "Receiving Senior Brother, are we just going to let this matter go?"
The Receiving Saint said, "Let it go for now, we'll find a chance in the future."
An arm can't twist a thigh.
At this time, don't even think about revenge or anything.
If things really get out of hand in the end, it will still be the Western religion that can't come down from the stage.
They just suffered a loss, they can't just leave the Heavenly Court's territory and not learn a lesson.
The Guide Saint whispered, "Senior Brother, I think we can attack the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation..."
The Receiving Saint said unhappily, "Are you crazy!"
After saying that, he ignored the Guide Saint and hurried towards the Western religion's territory.
This guy doesn't have a single reliable suggestion in his mouth.
Attacking the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation...
How crazy would one have to be to think of this stupid idea.
Unless they really want to fight the Heavenly Court to the death, it's best not to attack the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation.
Otherwise, there is a high possibility that the Heavenly Court will directly turn hostile!
Seeing this, the Guide Saint touched his nose and didn't say anything more.
The Western religion paid such a high price, and their dignity was completely lost.
Next, they will see if they can make up for it in terms of face...
If they can still make up for some face, perhaps the psychological gap won't be too big.
In the Tushita Palace.
Haotian and the Supreme Lord Lao looked at each other, seeing joy on each other's faces.
Then the two of them burst out laughing...
There are many times when the two Saints of the Western religion have been made to suffer.
But this is the first time they have been so relieved, with the two of them jumping into the trap themselves.
Haotian then sent a voice transmission to Qin Buyi.
Now the two Saints of the Western religion have returned to oversee the overall situation.
Their trap has also been completed.
It's not very meaningful for Qin Buyi to continue staying in the Western religion to cause trouble.
Everything must have a limit.
The Receiving Saint and Guide Saint have just suffered such a big loss, so don't continue to provoke them.
If something goes wrong and these two Saints are provoked to the point of desperation, it won't be very good.
After receiving Haotian's voice transmission, Qin Buyi decisively left the Western religion's territory.
The creatures and great powers of the Primordial World saw the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation leave the Western religion and at the same time received the news of the Receiving Saint and Guide Saint's return.
They immediately understood what was going on.
In their opinion, this must be some agreement reached between the Western religion and the Heavenly Court.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Receiving Saint and Guide Saint to return just like that...
Similarly, it was impossible for the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation to leave so easily.
"I said that no matter what happens between the great religions of the Saints, it's impossible to cause the kind of situation we imagined. If things really get out of hand, they will be the ones who suffer in the end. We just need to watch the excitement. It's funny that you were worried about whether they would fight because of this before."
"Don't you think this matter is really funny? I have to say that this matter can't be ignored. The Western religion and the Heavenly Court have accumulated a lot of grievances over the years. Now it's just a lack of a key fuse. As long as the conditions are met, I think it will definitely explode completely!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You are very clear about the Heavenly Emperor's battle power. The Receiving Saint and the Guide Saint combined are not enough for the Heavenly Emperor to fight. Unless the Western religion really can't survive in this land of the Primordial World, otherwise the situation between them will not develop to the point you said."
"That's what I think too. Is the Heavenly Emperor really going to remove the Western religion from our Primordial World? The probability is not high! Even if the Western religion offended the Heavenly Court before, now it's just a slight punishment. It hasn't developed to the point where the Western religion must be destroyed, so your worries are meaningless."
......
The Receiving Saint and Guide Saint's ugly expressions improved slightly upon learning the news of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation's departure.
The Guide Saint muttered, "It's good that the Heavenly Court is sensible..."
In fact, whether the Heavenly Court is sensible or not, they both know very well.
If they hadn't paid such a high price in the Tushita Palace, how could the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation have left so quickly?
Understanding it from another perspective, paying such a high price in the Tushita Palace is also equivalent to quelling this matter.
On the surface, the Western religion is in the right, but as things develop, in the end, they didn't get any benefits at all.
In the Heavenly Court's Hall of Universal Brightness.
After returning, Qin Buyi found Haotian and said, "The Receiving Saint and Guide Saint shouldn't just stop like this..."
Having suffered such a big loss, the Receiving Saint and Guide Saint, as small experts in causing trouble, will naturally have to make up for it on other levels.
