Leaving Them to Die
His sinister smile made Gu Li's scalp go numb.
Why had they escaped?
Why had the Buddha released them as well?
Gu Li's mind raced. As he did, the four figures appeared in front of them.
They were none other than the four Zombie Progenitors Gu Li had mercilessly pushed away.
"Brother Gu Li, what a coincidence. We came out on the same day."
Jiangchen's eyes were rimmed with dark circles. His pupils were pitch-black and filled with faint resentment. His lips curled into a smile as he looked at Gu Li playfully and cruelly.
Every time he closed his eyes, he recalled how Gu Li had mercilessly pushed them away from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
Back then, he'd sworn that if he ever got the chance, he'd seek revenge.
Fortunately, the Buddha hadn't killed them outright. Instead, he'd taken them into the Buddhist Domain and made them eat vegetarian meals and chant sutras.
To vicious beasts like them, living like this was worse than death.
But whenever he couldn't hold back any longer, he'd imagine Gu Li betraying them.
They really had to thank him. If it weren't for Gu Li, they might've been tortured to death already.
Anyone could sense how tense the atmosphere was, especially Gu Li. His lips kept wriggling, and his mind kept spinning as he tried to think of an excuse to say it.
"What, Brother Gu Li, are you unhappy to see us?" asked Jiangchen.
"Brother Jiangchen, you must be joking. Of course I'm happy to be able to see you all," blurted Gu Li. Gu Li blurted this out, then smiled. "We're allies who advance and retreat together. Now that I see you're all safe and sound, I'm finally able to breathe a sigh of relief."
"Then we really have to thank you, Brother Gu Li."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Gu Li smiled sheepishly, but his gaze never left their surroundings. It would be wonderful if a Bodhisattva appeared.
"Actually, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to endure the pain of chanting sutras."
"Of course we couldn't," said Jiangchen, his expression darkening. Jiangchen's expression darkened. "But it was Brother Gu Li who helped us endure that inhumane torture."
"So it was me?" Gu Li arched his brows in surprise. "That's really ….."
From Jiangchen's tone of voice, he could already sense the deeper meaning behind his words. However, he still had to play dumb. Every second counted. Maybe the Bodhisattva was already on his way.
He kept trying to think of something to say, but then he realized …
He could no longer say anything.
"That's true ….." Jiangchen tilted his head, his eyes filled with mockery. "Brother Gu Li, what do you want to say? Just say it. We couldn't have imagined what you were thinking. It's just like how you betrayed us without the slightest hesitation back then. We really couldn't have imagined it! "
Boom.
Jiangchen's body immediately released a frightening, murderous aura. This kind of murderous aura was extremely repelled by the Buddhist Domain. But even so, streams of red air still appeared around his body.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense with him? Just kill him directly." The shirtless Ying Gou snorted.
"I agree," said the lolita. The ugly Hanba with the lolita voice also spoke. Her gloomy face made her look even uglier. "He betrayed us without hesitation, and even made us eat vegetarian and chant scriptures in this wretched place. This kind of torture is all thanks to him!"
"I have no objections," said Houqing with a sinister smile.
Four streams of shocking murderous aura locked onto Gu Li. They could sense his hatred …..
"The Buddhist Domain's sacred land isn't a place for you to behave atrociously."
A thunderous roar shook the sky. Gu Li knelt to the ground, trembling in fear.
"Amitabha. Bodhisattva, your disciple is willing to convert to the Buddhist Path."
This was the only place that could save his life. He clutched at his last straw of hope and prayed devoutly. The Zombie Progenitors' expressions flickered.
If Gu Li converted to the Buddhist Path, they'd never have any hope of revenge.
Jiangchen steeled his resolve. Ignoring the roar, he slammed his right hand into Gu Li's head.
Gu Li knelt on the ground, unwavering. He firmly believed he'd be saved.
"Impudent!"
As expected, just as Jiangchen's hand was about to land on Gu Li's head, an enormous hand appeared in the sky and slammed towards him.
The Great Strength Bodhisattva instantly appeared in front of Gu Li. He frowned and roared, "The Buddhist Path doesn't tolerate blood.
"Buddhists don't see blood. You actually want to commit murder here?"
Jiangchen forcefully endured the Great Strength Bodhisattva's attack. He tasted sweetness in his throat, then coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Swallow it back!"
The Great Strength Bodhisattva roared, then slammed his hand down again. Jiangchen forcefully swallowed the blood that was about to reach his mouth.
"You've been chanting sutras in the Buddhist Domain for a long time, yet you still refuse to repent. It seems I have no choice but to ….."
As he spoke, the Great Strength Bodhisattva mobilized the surrounding spiritual power. The Zombie Progenitors' expressions changed. They hurriedly tried to resist.
"Great Strength, stop!"
At that moment, the Bodhisattva floated over.
"Why are you here?" the Great Strength Bodhisattva frowned.
The Bodhisattva said nothing. He simply took a few steps forward. When Gu Li saw him, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and crawled forward.
"Bodhisattva, your disciple is willing to convert to the Buddhist Path. Please allow me to stay."
The Bodhisattva glanced coolly at Gu Li, then helped him to his feet.
"I already said that the moment you left the ancestral hall, you ceased to be a disciple of the Buddhist Path. That means you've severed all ties with us."
Then, he looked at the Zombie Progenitors and said.
"You're the same. However, the Buddhist Path is peaceful. This isn't a place for you to fight. If you have grievances, go outside and settle them. "
He waved his right hand, and the Zombie Progenitors and Gu Li disappeared.
The Great Strength Bodhisattva frowned in confusion. "Great Compassion, aren't you just sending that Gu Li kid to his death? Buddha is merciful. Are you going to stand by and watch? Besides, those vicious beasts are truly stubborn. If we let them go, won't we be bringing disaster to the world? "
"Don't worry about it so much. The Buddha must have his own plans. Let's go back!"
After a moment's hesitation, Great Strength followed Guanyin and left.
But Gu Li and the others …..
"Hah, what merciful Buddha? Bullshit."
The Zombie Progenitors spat into the air. Not far from them, Gu Li knelt on the ground, his eyes brimming with terror.
"Brother Gu Li, it seems the Buddha doesn't want to save you either."
Jiangchen narrowed his eyes and sneered. He licked his lips and strode forward.
Gu Li's eyes flashed as he watched them. Then he pulled a crystal from his pocket and gestured as if he were going to break it.
