Chapter 520 - 514: Medicine King Buddha’s Targeting
As Bai Ze spoke, Lady Ming King, Medicine King Buddha, and others fell into deep thought.
Indeed, Bai Ze’s suggestion was quite good.
Sending someone to Silent Sea to inquire at Black Dragon Heaven could indeed provide more accurate information about the birth time of the Great Auspicious Buddha.
But the question now is, who should be sent to inquire?
The last time Great Auspicious Buddha went to recruit Black Dragon Heaven, he disappeared without a trace.
Although everyone believes that this matters little concerning Black Dragon Heaven, who dares take this risk?
What if, after going there, they disappear like Great Auspicious Buddha; what then?
Thinking about these, after Bai Ze proposed the suggestion, everyone fell into silence.
Medicine King Buddha, Infinite Buddha, Dingguang Buddha were reluctant to go; Bai Ze and Xiang Liu, naturally didn’t want to go either.
In this crucial moment, it was still up to Medicine King Buddha.
"We as sect Buddhas going to inquire at Black Dragon Heaven, it’s quite beneath us."
"I suggest sending two Bodhisattvas to inquire at Black Dragon Heaven would suffice!" Turning the conversation here, Medicine King Buddha continued, "I think sending Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva is enough."
As Medicine King Buddha finished, Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha thought, in the sect, the most scheming has to be you, Medicine King Buddha!
In the sect, it’s well known that Peacock Great Ming King has three friends, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Demon King Buddha first proposed sending Guanyin Bodhisattva to test Peacock Great Ming King, then sending Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva to inquire at Black Dragon Heaven.
This is wanting Guanyin Bodhisattva and Peacock Great Ming King to fall out; if Black Dragon Heaven has any issue, then Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva must also face joint annihilation.
Medicine King Buddha wasn’t just forcing Peacock Great Ming King to leave the sect but was also taking the opportunity to intimidate those who were friends with Peacock Great Ming King.
No, this isn’t merely intimidation.
This is clearly wanting to cut off Peacock Great Ming King’s allies!
It must be said, Medicine King Buddha’s idea was indeed crafty.
However, Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha didn’t object because they had little relationship with Peacock Great Ming King.
"Medicine King Buddha’s words make sense, we have no objections," Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha were the first to express their views.
"We also support!" Bai Ze and Xiang Liu quickly voiced their support.
For Bai Ze and Xiang Liu, as long as they weren’t sent, it didn’t matter who went.
Since everyone present showed their support, this matter was decided.
Medicine King Buddha said to Lady Ming King, "This matter requires Lady Ming King to issue the decree in World Honored’s name to Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva."
For Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva, being Tier Two was significant.
In terms of power, they were still inferior compared to Medicine King Buddha.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva was different, although labeled as Bodhisattva, she possessed the strength of a Buddha.
Being on the same level as Medicine King Buddha, he wasn’t confident he could command Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Thus, the best approach was to have Lady Ming King issue it under World Honored’s name.
Once issued, it became an unavoidable decree for Guanyin Bodhisattva and others.
Unless they dared to betray the sect like Peacock Great Ming King.
Lady Ming King was inherently indecisive yet bold.
Medicine King Buddha’s instructions were followed without hesitation.
"Okay!"
"I will issue the decree in my father’s name immediately," Lady Ming King agreed.
...
...
After Lady Ming King issued the decree in World Honored’s name,
Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva soon received it.
Having received it, they gathered at Guanyin Bodhisattva’s domain to discuss counterstrategies.
At Guanyin Bodhisattva’s domain.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva sat opposite each other, each holding their decree.
"Fellow comrades, I received a decree from World Honored."
"I received it too!"
"Me as well!" The three Bodhisattvas exchanged glances and announced in unison.
Then, Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke, "The decree I received was to inquire at Black Dragon Heaven about the Great Auspicious Buddha’s presence and time of appearance."
As soon as Manjushri Bodhisattva finished, Manjushri Bodhisattva followed, "So was mine."
Only Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head, saying to the two, "My decree is different than yours."
"Mine is to meet Peacock Great Ming King and probe if he’s captured Great Auspicious Buddha."
The Bodhisattvas were undoubtedly intelligent individuals.
From the decree contents, they speculated on the situation.
They exchanged looks, with Guanyin Bodhisattva saying, "It seems Great Auspicious Buddha was intercepted by Peacock Great Ming King on his way to Black Dragon Heaven?"
After Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva nodded, saying, "This..."
"This surely seems like something Peacock Great Ming King would do."
See?
Not only did Medicine King Buddha suspect Peacock Great Ming King, but even his three friends suspected it.
Thus, it was evident Peacock Great Ming King wasn’t unjustly accused.
It’s mainly because this act aligns so well with Peacock Great Ming King’s style.
In the sect, everyone knew Peacock Great Ming King was known for avenging promptly.
Upon gaining a rough understanding, Manjushri Bodhisattva asked, "Are we going to do this?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva replied immediately, "With the decree issued, we have no choice but to go!"
Hearing this, Manjushri Bodhisattva retorted angrily, "Silly decree, clearly Lady Ming King’s nonsense, issuing decrees indiscriminately."
"In the past, this nonsense led to Peacock Great Ming King’s departure from the sect."
From their dialogue, it’s evident Manjushri Bodhisattva had a more volatile temperament.
At this moment, the strongest, Guanyin Bodhisattva, spoke, "In the sect, there are many formidable people, stronger than us, weaker ones even more plentiful."
"Yet the decree specifically targets us three; do you know what this implies?"
What does it imply?
"Is Lady Ming King, Medicine King Buddha targeting us?" Manjushri Bodhisattva, being sharper, responded first.
