Chapter 519 - 513: Buddha Conference
Upon hearing the words of the Medicine King Buddha, Bai Ze fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Ze slowly spoke, "Is it possible that it was done by the Peacock Great Ming King?"
"The Great Auspicious Buddha went to persuade the Black Dragon Heaven to surrender. With the appearance of the Great Auspicious Buddha, there are only two possible places: our own territory or the Silent Sea."
"We all know the situation in the Silent Sea, it’s a strategic buffer zone, and before Black Dragon Heaven occupied the Silent Sea, there weren’t any powerful figures there."
"As for the strength of Black Dragon Heaven, we are all clear, I don’t believe Black Dragon Heaven has the ability to trap the Great Auspicious Buddha."
"If it’s not Black Dragon Heaven, then it can only be the Peacock Great Ming King."
"Let’s not forget, the Peacock Great Ming King’s dojo hasn’t been moved, it’s still within our territory."
"Furthermore, the Peacock Great Ming King holds a grudge against us. He has both the reason and the motive to act against the Great Auspicious Buddha."
After saying this, Bai Ze didn’t forget to add, "Of course, these are just my speculations, without any substantial evidence."
No evidence, it’s indeed not good to speak recklessly.
However, in the absence of evidence, we have to first identify a suspect to then search for evidence, right?
After Bai Ze finished his speculations, he glanced around at the Medicine King Buddha, the Infinite Buddha, the Dingguang Buddha, and others.
Bai Ze’s intention was also clear; after I’ve spoken, it’s your turn.
As the saying goes, a brick is thrown to attract jade.
Bai Ze has thrown this brick; whether they can attract jade depends on the others.
Seeing that no one spoke after Bai Ze finished, Lady Ming King couldn’t bear it anymore.
Lady Ming King thought to herself, I called you all here not for you to play the silent-is-golden game.
"Everyone, we are all among our own people here, and people I can trust."
"Now, there’s no need to hold back, everyone speak your mind freely," Lady Ming King said with a gloomy expression.
After Lady Ming King finished speaking, the Medicine King Buddha also chimed in, "The Peacock Great Ming King has already betrayed the sect, and is no longer one of us."
"There’s no need for anyone to hold back, just say what’s on your mind."
Having said this much, it would be somewhat unreasonable to continue remaining silent.
Moreover, the small group gathered here has no ties with the Peacock Great Ming King, and are even at odds with him.
As expected, once the Medicine King Buddha finished speaking, the Infinite Buddha said, "The speculation of the Great Wisdom Buddha does make a lot of sense."
"Looking at it, there really aren’t many who can make the Great Auspicious Buddha vanish without a trace."
"At the very least, we present here don’t have that ability. Hence, the person who acted must be stronger than any of us here."
"The Peacock Great Ming King has this strength, and his dojo is the closest to us, making him indeed the most likely suspect."
The Infinite Buddha’s words were indeed correct.
The Chongming Bird is a Tier Two Peak Powerhouse, and they too are Tier Two Peak Powerhouses. Even if the Medicine King Buddha, Infinite Buddha, and Dingguang Buddha are stronger than the Chongming Bird, the difference is limited.
If the three of them were to act against the Chongming Bird, it would certainly be a fierce battle.
At the very least, they absolutely cannot make the Chongming Bird disappear without any commotion.
To achieve this requires overwhelming strength.
After some discussion, the group really did start to suspect the Peacock Great Ming King.
This blame, the Peacock Great Ming King has to bear, whether he did it or not.
Lady Ming King already disliked the Peacock Great Ming King, and now, after hearing everyone’s speculation, she believed it even more.
At this moment, Lady Ming King was already convinced in her heart that the Peacock Great Ming King was behind it.
Thinking of this, Lady Ming King immediately shouted angrily, "This Peacock Great Ming King is truly too excessive."
"Everyone, follow me to the Peacock Great Ming King’s dojo to demand our people."
When Lady Ming King said this, the Buddhas present fell into silence again.
The Infinite Buddha and the Dingguang Buddha exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, you really can’t tell the difference between Xiaowang and Peak, going to demand people from the Peacock Great Ming King, what are you thinking?
What kind of temperament does the Peacock Great Ming King have, and what is his combat strength?
If you go to him to demand people, if he did it, you’re delivering yourself right to his door, and he’d happily keep you there.
If he didn’t do it, then you’re wronging him, and he certainly won’t let you off the hook.
With the five Buddhas present, there might be a chance to overpower the Peacock Great Ming King.
But if the Peacock Great Ming King decides to go all out, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to take two or three of them down with him.
The Infinite Buddha awkwardly laughed, "This matter requires careful consideration."
The Infinite Buddha chickened out; this was evident to everyone present.
After all, he had little ties to the Great Auspicious Buddha and wasn’t willing to risk his life, which seemed reasonable.
Talking about the Peacock Great Ming King, the Medicine King Buddha was also a bit wary.
The Peacock Great Ming King being forced to betray the sect was his doing.
If he went to the Peacock Great Ming King to hold him accountable, the Peacock Great Ming King might risk his life to take him down.
After some thought, the Medicine King Buddha came up with an idea, "Whether or not this was done by the Peacock Great Ming King, we are still just speculating, without evidence."
"Rashly going to hold the Peacock Great Ming King accountable will not only fail to rescue the Great Auspicious Buddha, but will also exacerbate conflicts."
The Medicine King Buddha could be said to master the art of speech. He, too, feared the Peacock Great Ming King, but he expressed it very tactfully.
"Medicine King Buddha, what do you suggest?" Lady Ming King asked.
Since the Medicine King Buddha brought up the question, he naturally had a solution.
Only to hear the Medicine King Buddha slowly speak, "Guanyin Bodhisattva has a good personal relationship with the Peacock Great Ming King. I suggest sending Guanyin Bodhisattva to meet the Peacock Great Ming King first, to probe the situation."
"If it turns out the Peacock Great Ming King did it, Guanyin Bodhisattva can persuade him to release the person. If the Peacock Great Ming King is determined to oppose us, we can then reconsider our strategy."
The Peacock Great Ming King betrayed the sect, but Guanyin Bodhisattva has not.
Guanyin Bodhisattva must still follow their orders.
"Alright, let’s go with the Medicine King Buddha’s suggestion!" Lady Ming King, after some thought, agreed.
At this time, Bai Ze seemed to have thought of something, and he proactively said, "I think, when we send Guanyin to meet the Peacock Great Ming King, we should also send someone to the Silent Sea to meet Black Dragon Heaven."
"First, to see if Black Dragon Heaven has any issues. Second, by asking Black Dragon Heaven if they’ve seen the Great Auspicious Buddha, we can determine whether the incident happened before or after the Great Auspicious Buddha met Black Dragon Heaven."
