Section 907: Dealing with Funeral Matters
After the great battle, Asura Xue was in a state of devastation. She was not happy at all. Although the battle ended with her victory, she had lost too many Asura clansmen, which made her very unhappy.
However, even though Shura Xue was in a bad mood, the others were not. They were all in high spirits. They were extremely excited. Even when they were cleaning up the battlefield, they were especially energetic.
After this battle, the Buddhists left behind a lot of spoils. These Buddhists were the confidants of Dipankara Buddha. Each of them was filthy rich and carried a lot of treasures with them. This time, the Heavenly Court's troops benefited.
In addition, although the pagodas were destroyed, their skeletons were still there. The materials on them were all top quality and very precious. Especially the various gems and jewels embedded in them, they were all rare treasures. The Heavenly Court's army would not be courteous. They directly rushed up and stripped them clean.
Just like that, the huge battlefield was quickly cleared by the ferocious troops. Of course, they would not take it for themselves. These things would be collected and distributed according to their contributions. Without a doubt, the Asura Fleet, which had suffered the most losses and played the most important role, would get the biggest share.
As for the most precious part of these spoils of war, it was undoubtedly the Dipankara Buddha. As one of the three giants of the Eastern Buddhist World, his status was simply too high. Using him to bargain with the Buddhist Sect would definitely cause the other party to hold back.
As a matter of fact, Song Zhong and Shura Xue were indeed planning to do so. As soon as the battle ended, Song Zhong sent someone to inform the Buddhist Sect, asking them to come to the celestial heavens to explain why the Buddhist Sect's army would appear in the celestial heavens.
And several days later, Song Zhong's old friend, the Glaring Vajra, came to the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms to meet with Song Zhong.
Song Zhong respected Glaring Guardian Deity. After all, he had helped Song Zhong before. Therefore, Song Zhong politely led him to the backyard and met him in a beautiful courtyard.
Song Zhong wore a purple dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne. As he slowly sipped his tea, he secretly observed the glaring Vajra opposite him.
They hadn't seen each other for a few years, but the Glaring Guardian Deity still looked the same. He sat upright on the chair, as steady as a mountain. However, at this moment, there was a hint of helplessness on his face. It seemed that he also felt that this matter was very troublesome.
The two of them were silent for a while. In the end, it was the angry Vajra who could not hold back his anger. He said with a smile, "Oh, I knew that the flower demons under your command were powerful, but I did not expect them to be so powerful. Just thirty-six flower demons were able to capture Dipamkara Buddha alive. That's amazing!"
"Hehe!" Song Zhong smiled and said, "I was just lucky!"
"Hehe, if you can catch Dipankara Buddha by luck, then this world is too ridiculous!" Glaring Vajra shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Song Zhong didn't answer. He just smiled and didn't say anything.
When Glaring Vajra saw this, he immediately knew that Song Zhong was no longer who he used to be. If he didn't show some real ability, there was no way to fool him.
In desperation, Glaring Vajra could only ask honestly, "What about this misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Song Zhong was angry when he heard this. He directly interrupted him and said, "Your army of millions charged into the territory of the Heavenly Court. Is this a misunderstanding? Don't you think you're being too unreasonable? "
"This …" Glaring Vajra's face turned red when he heard this. He hurriedly explained with a wry smile, "It's really a misunderstanding. Those Buddhist disciples were just chasing after the demons and accidentally crossed the line!"
"Hmph, hundreds of thousands of my Heavenly Court army were killed by them. Is this a misunderstanding?" Song Zhong sneered.
"Isn't that a mistake? You also know that many of the subordinates of the North Star Emperor are demons. So, it's reasonable for a mistake to be made! "Glaring Vajra explained.
This time, Song Zhong was speechless. He could only laugh angrily and said, "So, it's us who are making a fuss over nothing?"
"This, haha!" Glaring Vajra laughed and said, "Of course, it's not your fault. Anyway, this incident is completely a misunderstanding. We can ignore the deaths of those disciples, but you have to return Dipankara Buddha!"
"Ha, what a big heart you have! After coming to our territory to burn and loot, you can still generously say that you don't want to hold us accountable. How touching! "Song Zhong sneered.
Glaring Vajra was not stupid. Of course, he could tell that Song Zhong was mocking him. Although he felt guilty in his heart, he could only pretend that he did not understand for the sake of Buddhism's reputation.
Seeing him like this, Song Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense with Glaring Vajra. He said directly, "This time, you Buddhists are looking for trouble. I don't care what you think. Anyway, you killed my disciples and destroyed my fleet. So, you have to compensate!" Song Zhong said, "Otherwise, you can use Dipankara Buddha to pay for your debt!"
When Glaring Vajra heard this, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "That won't do. Why should we pay for your losses? Don't tell me that our losses aren't losses? You have to know that the thousands of pagodas we lost are much more valuable than your broken fleet! "
"Because the battlefield is in the Heavenly Court!" Song Zhong said angrily, "It's clearly you who invaded. What's there to quibble about? If the battlefield was in your Western Pure Land, I wouldn't talk nonsense. I would immediately kowtow and apologize! But now, how did you deal with it? "
"This …" Glaring Vajra was suddenly speechless by Song Zhong's question!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Song Zhong sneered and said, "If you Buddhists want to start a full-scale war, then I welcome you. The Thirty-three Heavens beyond Heaven is yours to roam! But if you don't have the ability, then you'd better obediently compensate me for my losses. "
"What if we don't compensate?" Glaring Vajra said solemnly.
"I've already said that if you don't compensate, I'll use Dipankara Buddha to pay for my debt!" Song Zhong sneered and said, "An Emperor-level expert, no matter how much I squeeze, I can compensate for this account!"
"But Dipankara Buddha is the guardian Vajra of our Buddhist Sect. If you treat him like this, where will our Buddhist Sect's face be?" Glaring Vajra said coldly, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will really cause a great war!"
"Hehe!" Song Zhong sneered and said, "I'm not afraid. Anyway, you are now fighting with the Demon Race. You have no strength to conquer our Heavenly Court. If you really want to fight on two fronts, then I can fulfill your wish. Tomorrow, I will announce a war with the Buddhists. How about that? "
"This … Absolutely not!" Glaring Vajra panicked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "We've all been friends for millions of years. How can you rashly start a war?"
"This is not that I want to fight. It's really that you've gone too far!" SongZhong said, "You came to my territory to fight and kill, and you still don't want to compensate me? Where do you want my Heavenly Court to put their face? How can I control the troops of the 33 Heavens in the future? Have you thought about all this? "
"Alright, alright!" Glaring Vajra finally gave in. He said helplessly, "We can compensate, but don't ask for too much. You must know that our losses this time are not small!"
"Haha, don't worry about this. We won't make things difficult for you!" After Song Zhong finished speaking, he handed a jade slip to Glaring Vajra and said, "The things we lost are all on it. After you've paid, I'll return Dipankara Buddha to you!"
The Angry Vajra took the jade slip and read it with his Divine Sense. He immediately flew into a rage and said, "Song Zhong, you've gone too far. These things are enough for us to rebuild thousands of pagodas. How did you lose so much?!"
"How powerful are your pagodas? It's not like you guys aren't powerful. With thousands of pagodas attacking together, more than two-thirds of my wife's Asura Blood River Fleet was wiped out. Of course, this loss is huge!" Song Zhong said unhurriedly, "In short, we have already stated our conditions. These are the things we want. You can take them back and discuss with them slowly!"
"Alas!" The furious Guardian Deity sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll go back and discuss it!" As soon as he finished speaking, he left with a lonely expression on his face!
Not long after the Angry Guardian Deity left, Shura Xue came to Song Zhong's side and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Buddhists won't be willing to be slaughtered if you report their losses tenfold!"
"Then I'll seize the opportunity to detain Dipankara Buddha!" Song Zhong said with a smile, "I'd like to see if the Buddhists can afford to lose face like this!"
"But what if the Buddhists fly into a rage out of humiliation and declare war on us?" Shura Xue frowned.
"Don't worry. The Buddhists won't act rashly before the Demon Race is pacified." Song Zhong said with a smile, "You should know that the Divine Parasol Mountain is full of talents now. With the Chaos Giant Spirit Race's Grand Elder in charge, it can be said to be impregnable. If the Buddhists dare to declare war on us, then the Demon Race's army will stir up trouble behind our backs. The Buddhists will definitely die! As long as they aren't idiots, they won't take this risk! "
"Ah, I see. Then I'm relieved!" Shura Xue nodded and said, "In that case, should I go prepare the warehouse and wait to receive the compensation from the Buddhists?"
"Yes." Song Zhong nodded and said, "That's enough. They won't let Dipankara Buddha suffer here. They'll definitely send something over soon. You should make preparations. This time, all the compensation will be yours so that you can rebuild an even more powerful fleet! "
Shura Xue was instantly excited when she heard that. The heartache from the loss of the fleet dissipated a lot. She couldn't help but hug Song Zhong's neck happily and said coquettishly, "My husband is the best!" If you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com.
