Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1728: The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s Departure

"So, they are not traitors and should not bear this reputation. If there is guilt, then it is mine, not theirs."

"As for their accomplishments, they are the direct lineage of the Mystic Sect, this is merely their duty. Since it’s part of their responsibility, how can we speak of merit?"

Being able to defend his disciples is commendable. As for petitioning for their merits, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign won’t do such a thing.

Reality doesn’t allow him to do this either. Now, he uses his own reputation as a backer, firmly claiming that Ci Hang, Puxian, and others were sent by him to join the Western teachings.

No matter the actual truth, this matter can only be as he says it is, even if Jiang Chen harbors dissatisfaction in his heart, he wouldn’t question this matter.

But if he petitions for their merits now, who would agree? A good fellow, this group of traitors who fled the teachings now out of options, finding a convenient excuse would return brilliantly to the Mystic Sect as heroes.

If this spreads, the Mystic Sect wouldn’t be turned upside down internally?

Ultimately, it’s still Ci Hang, Puxian, and others whose stances are truly problematic; why otherwise would they need the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign as their guarantor? Why couldn’t they speak for themselves?

For Great Divine Transcendents, discerning authenticity is not difficult.

Perhaps, back then they truly followed the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s orders and thus relied on the Western teachings. But now, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, they have long forgotten their original intent and truly betrayed to the other side.

If not for significant issues within the Buddhist doors today, they wouldn’t want to return.

With their own stance being problematic, under the shadow of guilt, they naturally dare not refute Jiang Chen’s words themselves and can only let the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign step in as guarantor.

With the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign present, even if others harbor doubts, they wouldn’t employ the method of "Heart Questioning" against them.

Otherwise, if an answer utterly opposed to what the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign said is questioned, that would be falling out with the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign completely.

"Hum!"

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s words could be countered by Jiang Chen, yet he couldn’t utter a single word.

Not that he’s afraid to offend the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, but the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign merely mentioned his own disciples, yet their prior explanations awkwardly dragged in the Buddha. This left Jiang Chen with nothing to say.

He certainly couldn’t call the Buddha a traitor. Anyone can say this, except Jiang Chen.

Because Buddha is his senior brother, he as a junior brother may say anything privately, but in front of everyone, he simply cannot accuse his brother.

"Take your disciples and leave!"

Speechless, Jiang Chen angrily ordered the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign to take his people and depart. Since they are no longer part of the Buddha Realm, there is no reason for them to remain there.

The forthcoming conflicts in the Buddha Realm are no longer related to them.

"In the establishment of the Buddha Realm, they contributed to some extent; surely they cannot leave empty-handed?"

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign didn’t move, the Buddha Realm is so tempting, he too wants a share of it.

However, Jiang Chen did not intend to let him have his way.

"For how long they infiltrated the Buddhist door was precisely to establish the Buddha Realm for it, to enhance the Buddhist door’s foundation, and to contend with the Mystic Sect, isn’t that right?" Jiang Chen said maliciously to the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

"Now that they’ve restored their true selves, henceforth everything in the Buddhist door is unrelated to them. I will take them away now."

Whether Randeng, Ci Hang, Puxian, and others are willing, upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign directly took them away.

Jiang Chen’s intention, he understood.

I gave you face, acknowledged your reason, let them go. In return, shouldn’t you also give me face and withdraw from this Buddha Realm contest?

This is Jiang Chen’s intention, which the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign comprehended, hence he left directly. Of course, he could have pretended not to understand.

But having done this, regardless of whether he can get a share later from the Buddha Realm, Randeng, Ci Hang, Puxian, and others, he cannot protect them; Jiang Chen will surely cause them to die as traitors.

Understanding these, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign who is unwilling to abandon his disciples certainly cannot stay.

After "persuading" the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign to leave, Jiang Chen turned to Taiyi and directly said to him: "Why aren’t you leaving with this evil presence yet, do you truly want to force me to make a move and execute him?"

The evil presence naturally refers to the Great Sun Buddha. In the Ancient Era, as one of the initiators of the Ten Suns in the sky, the Great Sun Buddha undoubtedly fits the term heinous.

Brows twitching, Taiyi restrained his anger and said to Jiang Chen: "Star Lord, isn’t this too domineering? My nephew too is one of the supreme of the Buddhist door; no matter what, he has a share in the Buddha Realm."

The matter concerns the opportunity of Primordial Chaos, and Taiyi certainly wouldn’t want the Great Sun Buddha to miss it, so he is resolute on staying.

"How is this domineering? Back when your nephew chased me, he was more tyrannical than this, forcing me to hide in the Netherworld."

"Compared to him, I haven’t even made a move, merely rebuking him with a few words; I am far from earning the name ’domineering’."

Jiang Chen has a grudge against the Great Sun Buddha, many in the Prehistoric World have grudges towards him, but few have actually chased him down, the Great Sun Buddha is one among them.

When the incident of him refining the Great Sun Golden Crow’s corpse exposed, it immediately caught the attention of the Great Sun Buddha, who pursued him. Fortunately, Jiang Chen fled swiftly, escaping to the Netherworld instantly, or else, there would be no later actions.

This matter has been buried in Jiang Chen’s heart for long, merely lacking an opportunity for revenge.

"It was you who first refined the relics of my other nine nephews, Lu Ya then took action against you, Star Lord, do not invert black and white."

Thoroughly angered now, Taiyi couldn’t believe Jiang Chen was so bold in his youth, daring to refine the relics of his nine nephews for cultivation.

"How is this inverting facts? Innate Divine Demons born of Heaven and Earth, upon death naturally return to Heaven and Earth."

"You didn’t wish to let them return to Heaven and Earth, then upon encountering me, I treated them as treasures to refine, isn’t this normal?" freewebnσvel.cøm

"Moreover, they are demons, while I am human; refining their relics isn’t this naturally rightful?"

Regarding the matter of refining nine small Golden Crow relics, Jiang Chen had no inclination to explain. When have humans ever needed explanation to kill demons? Isn’t this instinct?

"Your nephew committed grave errors, you Taiyi, being the supreme of Heaven and Earth, didn’t punish them; worse yet, you sheltered them."

"Thus, you’ve lost the heart of justice, violating the duties of Heaven and Earth’s supreme. The Demon Clan’s Heaven Court being destroyed is your retribution."

"If upon the Ten Golden Crows committing sins back then, you immediately executed them and integrated their original source back into Heaven and Earth as compensation, how could the subsequent events have happened?"

"You didn’t give justice to all beings, then someone will surely demand justice from you for all beings."

Jiang Chen gave no chance for Taiyi to speak further, swiftly criticizing him after speaking on the Great Sun Buddha’s matter.

That Witch vs. Demon clan war back in the day was actually entirely avoidable; if only Di Jun Taiyi had no selfish interests, treated the Ten Golden Crows fairly and justly, the Witch Clan would have no reason to revolt. Even if the Witch vs. Demon clan war did occur, it would have been postponed for many years.

Ultimately, it was Di Jun Taiyi’s excessive self-interest that provided a chance for the Saints, thus igniting the Witch vs. Demon clan war.

"Two Saints, we are truly allies; Taiyi, the Great Sun Buddha, they are outsiders. Since they refuse to leave, how about we join forces to drive them out first?"

"Afterwards, we’ll slowly discuss the ownership of the Buddha Realm among ourselves."

Seeing Taiyi’s attitude, it was clear he wouldn’t easily depart, Jiang Chen stopped persuading and sought out the Western Two Saints, ready to join forces to first drive Taiyi and others away.

"Two friends, do not forget the matter at Tanggu; my nephew was harmed so miserably by you, don’t you need to compensate him?"

Afraid the Western Two Saints would be swayed by Jiang Chen, Taiyi spoke up from the side.

The Great Sun Buddha was indeed severely victimized by Saint Zhunti; if it weren’t for encountering Saint Zhunti, he perhaps could have remained as a noble Demon Clan prince, instead of falling to today’s state of ruin.

Due to a single meeting at Tanggu, the Great Sun Buddha first lost nine brothers, then had his entire family left with only himself.
