As for the third type, it refers to those who initially do not wish to get involved in the situation, but due to some special reasons, are compelled to lend a hand.

The three from Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped them, alleviating the pressure for Peacock Great Ming King and gaining a favor from them.

Such a situation can be described as a win-win for all parties.

Thus, the three from Guanyin Bodhisattva reached the three Buddhas before the Little Monk.

Everyone understood each other, and upon seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva and others visiting, the Buddha immediately used the excuse of having a meeting to temporarily hold back the Little Monk, making him wait outside.

They neither refused nor agreed to meet, but simply stalled.

By the time the battle concluded, naturally, they would not have offended either side.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Sect was already in chaos.

Medicine King Buddha, Dingguang Buddha, and Infinite Buddha were being beaten back by the Peacock Great Ming King.

Just as the Peacock Great Ming King was about to win the battle, Treasure-Born Buddha and Lushana Buddha arrived to join the battlefield.

With the addition of these two reinforcements, the situation could temporarily be stabilized, preventing immediate defeat.

However, defeating the Peacock Great Ming King was no easy task either.

One must know that the Peacock Great Ming King's injuries hadn't completely healed yet.

Despite not being fully healed, he was already terrifying to this extent.

This battle had reached such a point that both sides were at a stalemate, seemingly neither willing to back down.

Lady Ming King had sent people to seek reinforcement, but only Treasure-Born Buddha and Lushana Buddha were called upon; it seemed that Lady Ming King's cards had been all played out.

However, this was not the case.

Lady Ming King still had three cards in her hand.

These three cards were Bai Ze, who was honored as Great Wisdom Buddha; Chongming Bird, as Great Auspicious Buddha; and Xiang Liu, as Pingjiang Dinghai Buddha.

Should these three Tier Two Peak experts take action personally, the current Kong Xuan might not be able to withstand it.

However, Lady Ming King was not willing to easily play these last three cards.

Because, these were her only three cards, and if she played them without subduing Peacock Great Ming King, she would perish.

Lady Ming King was stalling, hoping to drag the situation until Peacock Great Ming King truly reached his limits, and then use these last three cards to deliver the final blow.

...

...

Meanwhile.

The main body of the World Honored One, who was in seclusion in a hidden corner of the Mysterious World, suddenly opened his eyes.

Mysteriously, he seemed to have sensed something.

The main body of the World Honored One hurriedly began calculating, seemingly trying to figure out what was causing this sense of crisis.

After a round of calculations, the main body of the World Honored One deduced the cause and effect.

He frowned, cursing, "Foolish."

This foolish remark from the main body of the World Honored One was not directed at Peacock Great Ming King, but at his daughter, Lady Ming King, or perhaps at Medicine King Buddha, who was assisting her.

In the entire Mysterious World, besides the main body of the World Honored One, Peacock Great Ming King was the strongest.

The World Honored One had defeated Kong Xuan in the past, designing his allegiance and conferring him the title of Peacock Great Ming King.

Even though Kong Xuan rarely made any contributions after being conferred as Peacock Great Ming King, the World Honored One never said much, still granting him a status second to none.

Why did the World Honored One do this?

Was the World Honored One foolish?

Of course not, on the contrary, the World Honored One was very wise.

For a master like Kong Xuan, who was only under the World Honored One, there were only two ways to deal with him: either kill him or subdue him.

The World Honored One once tried to kill Kong Xuan.

In that battle, the World Honored One aimed to kill Kong Xuan; however, although he defeated Kong Xuan, killing him would require an enormous price.

The price was too great for the World Honored One to bear.

Out of necessity, the World Honored One chose to subdue Kong Xuan as an alternative.

He conferred Kong Xuan as Peacock Great Ming King, believing that such a strong man, even if raised in vain, should not be allowed to join the enemy.

If he fully aligned with the World Honored One's enemies, the World Honored One would be in severe trouble.

The World Honored One never imagined that his foolish daughter would join forces with Medicine King Buddha to force Peacock Great Ming King to their opposing side.

By harboring Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird, they clashed with Peacock Great Ming King, which, in the eyes of the World Honored One, was like losing a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

In the eyes of the World Honored One, talents like Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird were not exactly everywhere, but they were not completely lacking either.

However, a talent like Peacock Great Ming King was probably unrivaled.

In the eyes of the World Honored One, looking across the Mysterious World, only he and Peacock Great Ming King could be considered heroes.

However, things had developed to an irreparable state now.

How to handle this matter satisfactorily was a tough question for the World Honored One, resting deep in thought.

"Alas!" the World Honored One sighed heavily, murmuring to himself, "I should never have given her that Dharma Scroll!"

At this moment, the World Honored One deeply realized the consequences of a woman in charge—it was like the house collapsing.

The mess left by his foolish daughter was not something easily dealt with!

If not for the Dharma Scroll, and just a verbal conferment, the World Honored One could simply dismiss Lady Ming King's conferment, handing Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird over to Kong Xuan, and the matter would be resolved.

However, since Lady Ming King used the Dharma Scroll for the conferment, it was declared to heaven and earth, and could not be rescinded.

Another concern for the World Honored One was the growing deep ties between Peacock Great Ming King and Elder Bai and others, leading him to feel that perhaps one day, the Peacock Great Ming King would indeed stand opposed to him.

Then, rather than suffering later, it might be better to take decisive action earlier.

Could the World Honored One take action himself and eliminate Peacock Great Ming King to prevent future troubles?

As previously mentioned, the intention of the World Honored One's first life was to eliminate Peacock Great Ming King.

However, the price of killing Peacock Great Ming King was too high, something the World Honored One was unwilling to pay.

After nine reincarnations, the World Honored One grew stronger. Now, at an acceptable cost, could he kill Peacock Great Ming King?

If the main body of the World Honored One were to act, there was indeed a possibility.

However, just then, the main body of the World Honored One could not act.

Currently, at a pivotal moment of enlightenment, the main body of the World Honored One was in seclusion, attempting to comprehend the Enlightenment Method.

During this time, if the main body of the World Honored One were to step out to kill Peacock Great Ming King.

Once the main body appeared, regardless of others, Elder Bai's faction would immediately attack the World Honored One's main body.

If during this battle, the main body of the World Honored One were injured, or slightly showed weakness, it would immediately turn into a scenario where all the feudal lords rise against Dong Zhuo.

When a whale falls, life springs forth.

In this Mysterious World, those wishing for the demise of the World Honored One included more than just Elder Bai's faction.

Considering this, the World Honored One decided that under no circumstances could his true form appear.
