Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings
Chapter 489 - 483: Lady Ming King’s Decision—Siege on Kong Xuan
Lady Ming King had just received a harsh slap from the Peacock Great Ming King, and at this moment, harbored deep resentment towards him.
Lady Ming King now wished nothing but the death of the Peacock Great Ming King, so when the Medicine King Buddha offered two suggestions, she chose the latter without hesitation.
In the name of her father, the World Honored, she gathered all the Tier Two Peak experts within the sect to act against the World Honored.
With determination in her heart, Lady Ming King gritted her teeth and said to Medicine King Buddha, "Medicine King Buddha, you need to act as well, hold him off for now."
"I will immediately send people to invite other Buddhas to come and suppress him together."
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, even with the combined efforts of Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha, they were still no match for the Peacock Great Ming King.
This was simply because the Peacock Great Ming King's injuries from the battle at Ten Thousand Mountains had not yet fully healed.
If these injuries had healed, Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha would have already been defeated.
Although the Medicine King Buddha was reluctant to fight the mad Peacock Ming King, he knew very well that if he did not act, Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha alone would be no match for the Peacock Great Ming King.
By then, other Buddhas might not have arrived and Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha would already suffer defeat.
Thinking of this, despite his reluctance to join the battle, Medicine King Buddha had no choice but to participate.
Before joining the battlefield, Medicine King Buddha urged Lady Ming King, "Quickly go and invite other Buddhas, with just the three of us, we cannot hold Kong Xuan for long."
After being viciously beaten by the Peacock Great Ming King, the Medicine King Buddha became quite obedient; now, he dared not underestimate the Peacock Great Ming King.
Seizing the moment when Medicine King Buddha, Dingguang Buddha, and Infinite Buddha joined forces to hold off the Peacock Great Ming King, Lady Ming King hurriedly summoned her trusted followers, instructing them to swiftly seek help from other Buddhas.
The entire conspiracy by Lady Ming King and Medicine King Buddha was witnessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Seeing Lady Ming King send people to seek aid, they immediately sensed something amiss, understanding that there was an attempt to unite against the Peacock Great Ming King.
As good friends of the Peacock Great Ming King, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva could not provide any assistance.
The Great Ming King dared to fight openly within the sect, showing no fear.
That's because the Peacock Great Ming King had both the strength and status needed.
In terms of strength, the Peacock Great Ming King was the top below the World Honored; even without the World Honored's direct intervention, he wasn't a match for him.
In terms of status, without the World Honored, and with Wu Nengsheng dead, the Peacock Great Ming King held the second highest position within the sect.
With such identity and status, how could he not act without fear?
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva did not have such strength and status.
In terms of status, they were mere Bodhisattvas, a level below Buddha.
In terms of strength, only Guanyin Bodhisattva had reached Tier Two Peak, and that recently.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva were still a crucial step away from Tier Two Peak.
Due to their identity and status, they could not directly aid the Peacock Great Ming King.
If they couldn't directly help, then they could only assist discreetly.
Guanyin Bodhisattva tugged the sleeves of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva, giving them a look to convey his thoughts.
The three of them were old friends after all.
With just a glance from Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva immediately understood.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva promptly followed Guanyin Bodhisattva out of the great hall.
At this moment, the battle within the great hall reached a fever pitch.
All attention was focused on the two opposing sides, so the departure of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other two did not attract any notice from the people inside.
"The worst outcome has arrived!" After leaving the great hall, Guanyin Bodhisattva frankly said, with his lips trembling slightly.
"Clearly, it's Lady Ming King and Medicine King Buddha colluding to ostracize the Great Ming King, Bai Ze and the others are just a catalyst!" Manjushri Bodhisattva said indignantly.
The actions of Lady Ming King and Medicine King Buddha were clear to the discerning eye.
Now, the only mystery was whether this was Medicine King Buddha and Lady Ming King's independent decision, or if it was prompted by the World Honored from behind the scenes.
The three had a good relationship with the Peacock Great Ming King, but ultimately wouldn't betray the sect for him.
They could discreetly aid the Peacock Great Ming King, but an outright intervention was impossible.
"Alas!" Manjushri Bodhisattva sighed heavily, and said gravely, "I don't know if the Great Ming King can get through today."
Just then, Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, "I saw Lady Ming King just sent several Little Monks away, obviously to call for Buddhas to fight against the Great Ming King."
"I think we can't just stand by and watch."
They had to do something for their good friend, the Peacock Great Ming King, even if they couldn't openly help, they wouldn't shy away from aiding him from the shadows.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva exchanged a glance, then said in unison to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Whatever you decide, we'll follow your lead."
Actually, this was not an easy matter.
At face value, Lady Ming King only sent a few Little Monks, seemingly easy for the three to kill, preventing any message from being delivered.
But would they really kill them?
The sect's regulations strictly prohibited internal strife.
Guanyin Bodhisattva and his companions did not possess the defiance towards sect rules that the Peacock Great Ming King did.
Since they couldn't kill the Little Monks, they could only handle it another way.
After some contemplation, Guanyin Bodhisattva said solemnly, "Even though Lady Ming King gave orders in the name of the World Honored, it wasn't a direct command from him, so those willing to help are very limited."
"Thinking it over, those capable of lending a hand, all things considered, are just a few."
"Manjushri Bodhisattva, you hold off Huawang Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, you hold off Treasure Light Buddha, I'll hold off Golden Wheel Buddha."
"Our help to the Great Ming King by holding off three Buddhas is the least we can do."
Guanyin Bodhisattva's choice was indeed a clever one.
In the sect, those who could intervene in this battle were essentially divided into three types.
The first type was those determined to join the battle against the Peacock Great Ming King.
The second type was those adamant not to join the battle, observing quietly.
These two types were beyond the control of Guanyin Bodhisattva and his companions.
To stop the first type, they would have to start a fight, something Guanyin and his companions dared not publicly attempt.
As for the second type, they didn't need to concern themselves.
Therefore, the three Buddhas that Guanyin and his companions planned to intercept belonged to the third type.
