Chapter 498: Chapter 438: This Time I Will Make Cutting Teachings Sect Have No One to Use_2

After the words from Saint Taiqing, the disciples below, even though eager for battle, all ceased.

"Elder brother, Buddhism has gone too far, from now on, the Three Realms shall have no need for Buddhism!"

After the disciples left, only a few Quasi-Saints remained in the hall. Yuanshi Celestial Venerable said to Saint Taiqing.

"Buddhism gathers faith and merits, not to be underestimated."

Saint Taiqing said, "This time, only Great Luo and Taiyi are participating in the battle, and the number of Buddhist Quasi-Saints is also considerable. It will be very difficult to completely eliminate them!"

"Even if it’s difficult, I want to try!"

Since the battle for divine enthronement, Yuanshi Celestial Venerable had no longer taken the Cutting Teachings Sect seriously.

Although Tongtian has now emerged, what of it? The disciples of the Cutting Teachings Sect have been listed in the Investiture of the Gods for so many years, which counts for nothing.

Now with how Buddhism is treating him, he naturally despises Buddhism intensely.

...

Elsewhere, Sun Wukong had already gone far, and on a hillside, he spotted a figure.

Sun Wukong hurriedly descended.

"Brother!"

Wang Yang nodded and said, "From the look of you, it seems you have succeeded!"

Sun Wukong’s expression could deceive others, but not him; clearly, Sun Wukong had succeeded this time.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong chuckled.

"Brother, I feel somewhat guilty for dragging you into this!"

Wang Yang felt somewhat embarrassed; originally, Sun Wukong was just supposed to protect Xuanzang well, but he had called him here to provoke a great battle between Expounding Teachings Sect and Buddhism.

"What are you talking about, brother? If it weren’t for you, I would have been schemed against without even knowing it!"

Sun Wukong genuinely appreciated Wang Yang from the bottom of his heart.

"Besides, seeing them fight like dogs amongst themselves, I am only too happy to watch!"

Laughing, Sun Wukong continued.

...

Later, Wang Yang instructed Sun Wukong to hide and keep calm.

Even though he was allied with the Cutting Teachings Sect, he still needed some strategies of his own.

Sun Wukong naturally agreed.

Wang Yang returned to the Cutting Teachings Sect’s camp, where, after learning what had happened, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

"It seems even the heavens are favoring our Cutting Teachings Sect. This calamity of the Three Realms should rightfully put us ahead."

"After the battle of various sects, let’s see who dares to underestimate our Cutting Teachings Sect!"

The Sect Leader was pleased and looked at Wang Yang with a friendly expression.

He was grateful to have Wang Yang as an ally, who not only helped him retrieve the Investiture of the Gods but also gave them a chance to win.

Without Wang Yang, it would not be easy for the Cutting Teachings Sect to achieve victory.

"This tactic can only be used once. Next, we just need to hide and watch them tear each other apart, then gather the fruits of victory at the end!"

Wang Yang said with a smile.

Letting them fight each other without expending a single troop, while the Cutting Teachings Sect remained an inconspicuous and seemingly weak sect.

In the end, they would prepare a huge surprise for them.

Empress Nuwa and the Sect Leader had no objections to Wang Yang’s proposal.

Now Bei Ju Luzhou could be said to be just a chessboard to Wang Yang, and the matters of Wa Huang Palace and the Cutting Teachings Sect were left to Wang Yang, whom both the Sect Leader and Empress Nuwa deeply trusted.

Thus, they rested for two days, which were also days of preparation for Buddhism and the Expounding Teachings Sect.

Just as Wang Yang had predicted, when both parties gathered in the center of Bei Ju Luzhou, they did not bother with idle chatter and began fighting immediately.

Vajra Hand Bodhisattva took advantage of the Six-Foot Golden Body, pressing Daoxing Celestial Venerate relentlessly from the start.

True Person of the Yellow Dragon, seeking revenge, single-handedly held off the Eight Divisions of Divine Protectors of Buddhism.

In the chaotic clash, the first battle of the great war of various sects erupted fiercely, with both sides unleashing real fury and cursing continuously, completely unlike immortal beings who have attained the Dao.

"You Expounding Teachings Sect might as well wait for death! Where are Nezha and Yang Jian? Aren’t they very arrogant? Let them come out!"

Zhun Ti and Jieyin, along with other Quasi-Saints, stood above the clouds, but when they looked at Yuanshi Celestial Venerable and others, their faces were hostile.

"Isn’t Sun Wukong very powerful? Why doesn’t he come out and fight?"

Yuanshi Celestial Venerable and the South Pole Elderly Immortal were together, looking at Zhun Ti and Jieyin; if not for the restriction that Quasi-Saints could not act,

both would have loved to give them a beating.

It was utterly humiliating; at their level of cultivation, almost nothing else mattered, but the dignity of their sect was truly important, and they wouldn’t allow anyone to insult it.

"Sun Wukong?"

"Yang Jian, Nezha?"

After the three names were spoken, both parties were momentarily stunned.

"Sun Wukong is not one of ours!"

"Yang Jian and Nezha are both in the Celestial Court, they did not participate in the battle of the Various Sects!"

Yuanshi Celestial Venerable and Zhun Ti said simultaneously.

At that moment, a feeling of being tricked enveloped the hearts of the Quasi-Saints on both sides.

Confusion flickered through their minds.

Only Saint Taiqing remained calm, seemingly having known this all along.

"Stop, everyone stop!"

"Cease!"

The Saints from both sides came forward, calling for their disciples to cease fighting.

However, the disciples who were already fighting fiercely continued to sneak attacks even as they ceased, leading to a reduction in the number of people on both sides.

After the two groups separated and saw the reduced number of their disciples, the faces of both Zhun Ti Jieyin and the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable darkened.

"Let us end today’s matter here, Fellow Daoists, if it’s not too much trouble, would you join us at the Great Hall in the East!"

Yuanshi Celestial Venerable watched as his disciples were reduced by thirty percent, the Taiyi Golden Immortals by eighty percent, and even a dozen Daluo Golden Immortals were lost.

He could only suppress his anger and still spoke to Zhun Ti Jieyin.

Buddhism also suffered, they had many at the Taiyi tier, but even more didn’t even reach the peak of Taiyi tier, and the losses in this battle were even more severe.

Not to mention, among the Eight Divisions of Divine Protectors, only Garuda was still capable of fighting, the others were all demolished.

The Fourteen Heavens were drained, and only about twenty of the Thirty-six Buddhas remained.

However, since they understood that all of this was orchestrated by Wang Yang, they naturally would not continue fighting.

"Fellow Daoist, after you!"

Letting their people return to ground, Zhun Ti Jieyin prepared to accompany Yuanshi Celestial Venerable to the Eastern part of Beiju Luzhou.

The battle started quickly and ended just as swiftly, those defeated Saints of both sides were already ordered to leave Beiju Luzhou, but many were already unable to leave.

"Fellow Daoists, now that our sides have both suffered losses in this battle, it appears all because of the Cutting Teachings Sect."

"Since that’s the case, why don’t we collaborate, seize the fate of the Cutting Teachings Sect, and then dispute our standings?"

Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, speaking bluntly as only representatives of the Three Teachings were present, suggested; if it wasn’t them, it surely had to be the Cutting Teachings Sect.

Yet, he never considered why he hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

Like the fact that while he had summoned his disciples for the battle, aside from a few exceptions, the rest from the Celestial Court did not come.

Moreover, those who came were marginal figures in the Celestial Court, influential figures like Yang Jian, Nezha, and Li Jing did not appear at all.

However, this did not affect his resolve to destroy the Cutting Teachings Sect.

Yuanshi Celestial Venerable knew clearly that it was he and Saint Taiqing who had joined forces to suppress the Cutting Teachings Sect before, causing their fate to plummet.

If the Cutting Teachings Sect truly rose, his Expounding Teachings Sect would certainly suffer dire consequences.

"I wholeheartedly agree!"

Zhun Ti Jieyin also nodded in agreement.

They and the Cutting Teachings Sect had old grievances, and after the Journey to the West’s Calamity of Measurement, the Cutting Teachings Sect had their mounts returned to them.

Since the Cutting Teachings Sect was also in the Eastern Sea, they could not approach too closely.

Furthermore, it seemed that this time, Wang Yang had also allied with the Cutting Teachings Sect, leading Sun Wukong, a perfect protector for Buddhism, astray.

Now that both parties shared a common target, they reached an agreement immediately.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist, why not return to reorganize your disciples, after a rest, we shall jointly seek out the Cutting Teachings Sect!"

Yuanshi Celestial Venerable directly stated, not leaving any room for further discussion.

He was anxious, only thinking of quickly clearing the Cutting Teachings Sect out.

To avoid prolonging the issue.

However, he also understood that both sides had just undergone a major battle and, apart from pacifying their disciples, those who were injured also needed time to recover.

Otherwise, he was unsure how many could be brought along.

"We take our leave!"

Zhun Ti Jieyin did not linger; this matter had indeed severely pent up frustration in both sides.

If they could clear the Cutting Teachings Sect sooner, they would naturally be delighted.

Besides, Sun Wukong had also appeared here, participating in the battle of the Various Sects, they had to act.

"South Pole, have Guangchengzi and the others prepare; this time, I want to make the Cutting Teachings Sect unusable!"

After Zhun Ti Jieyin left, Yuanshi Celestial Venerable sat in the principal seat, his voice cold as he spoke.
