Chapter 155: Chapter 147, Suppressing the Western Sect

Ten Yin Heavenly Sons stepped out of the King’s Palace, stood in front of the ten palatial gates, clad in Dragon Robes, their faces dark and somber. Within the Underworld, these ten Yin Heavenly Sons could borrow the power of the Underworld. At this moment, they all existed at the level of Daluo Golden Immortals.

King Qinguang stretched out his hand and shouted, "Suppress!"

A Qing Guang King Seal flew out, pressing down towards Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha hurriedly sat down cross-legged, a Lotus Platform emerged beneath him, emanating Buddha Light all over.

Boom~

The Qing Guang King Seal pressed above Ksitigarbha, instantly sinking him a hundred meters; a yellow pillar of energy erupted from the Lotus Platform, firmly supporting the Qing Guang King Seal.

King Chujiang, King Yanluo, Reincarnation King, and other Yin Heavenly Sons also simultaneously gestured and shouted, "Suppress!"

Nine Ghost King Seals suddenly appeared, pressing down on the disciples of Buddhism.

Mile felt a heavy pressure above him, looked up, and ahead of him, darkness fell—the silhouette of a massive mountain rested within the Underworld.

Boom~ A Ghost Emperor Seal pressed Jin Naluo into the soil of the Netherworld.

Boom~ A Ghost Emperor Seal pressed Pharmacist into the soil of the Netherworld.

Boom~

...

Seal after seal, turning into mountains, descended; the high-ranking Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Western Sect were suddenly nowhere to be found, while the rest of the disciples were engulfed in panic.

...

In the garden of Pingxin Palace, Zhunti suddenly stood up, his usually gentle smile disappearing completely, frowning, he said, "Bai Jin~"

Ping Xin raised an eyebrow and responded, "Senior Brother, he’s here at my invitation."

Helplessly shaking his head, Zhunti said, "Junior Sister, since these ten incarnations of Taiyi have joined the Underworld, they shouldn’t intervene in the disputes between the Western Sect and the Chan Sect. The Underworld should remain neutral!"

"Following that logic, Ksitigarbha should no longer be involved with the Western Sect either?"

"Ha ha~ Just kidding, just kidding.

Junior Sister, please sit for a moment, I’ll go and get closer to nephew Bai Jin."

Ping Xin’s eyebrow quirked up as she said, "Senior Brother might as well stay. Bai Jin still has his own affairs to tend to."

"It’s fine, I just need to give him some guidance." Zhunti’s figure vanished in an instant.

The next moment, ripples appeared exactly where Zhunti had been sitting, and a figure emerged, flickering within the ripples.

Zhunti’s ethereal voice drifted out, "Junior Sister, what do you mean by this?"

"Bai Jin is here to help at my request, Senior Brother should refrain from interfering."

Zhunti’s figure gradually solidified, and with a wry smile, he said, "Junior Sister, are you guarding against me? Don’t Saints even have that little bit of trust between them? I assure you, Senior Brother has no ill intentions towards him."

"He’s still too vulnerable to accept your kind intentions."

Ping Xin picked up a cup of tea and said, "This is the Taiji Tea that Senior Brother Taishang sent over, Senior Brother, please have a taste."

Zhunti also picked up his tea cup, took a sip, and said with appreciation, "Delicious tea!" then continued to look outside, the Western Sect has really lost face this time.

Above the chaotic battlefield of the Netherworld, Bai Jin coughed and said, "The fighting is over, the disturbance has passed, and everything should come to an end now. Each Underworld Yin God, please return to your stations and maintain the balance of Yin and Yang."

"Yes!"

The ten Yin Heavenly Sons, as well as all the Judges, Ghost Commanders, and Ghost Messengers, all respectfully responded, bowing towards Bai Jin and then drifting towards their respective palaces.

Inside the Qing Guang King Palace, the silhouette of King Qinguang surfaced upon his throne; he stretched his hand and struck the surface in front of him, boom~ the Qing Guang King Seal instantly appeared.

The Qing Guang King Seal that had been suppressing Ksitigarbha vanished at the same time, Ksitigarbha panted heavily, his face looking extremely grim, why can I only summon so little power from the Underworld?! This is not normal at all.

Bai Jin faced everyone, clasped his hands, and said, "Thank you very much for your enthusiastic support for the work in the Underworld. The recruitment meeting is now over, and everyone may return. If anyone is still very keen on taking a position in the Underworld and doesn’t care about the level of status, you may go to the Judge Hall to apply – the Judges will consider taking you in."

"The end? I don’t think so!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned towards the voice, wondering what this person was up to.

A big man with a twisted beard looked up excitedly and shouted, "By the Heavenly Dao above, I am willing to transform into the Great Sun, bringing light to the Netherworld. As long as the Netherworld endures, the Great Sun shall forever shine."

Boom~ A thunderbolt struck down.

"Ah~" The big man with the twisted beard screamed, his body emitting sparks of electricity as he fell downwards.

...

Within Pingxin Palace, Madam Pingxin’s gaze was deep as she said, "Lu Ya!"

Zhunti sipped his tea and said with a smile, "Your compassion should mean you won’t hold a grudge against a junior, right?"

"If I wanted to kill him, he would have died a long time ago, his Divine Soul utterly destroyed."

"How magnanimous of you, Madam!"

The rest of the Immortal Gods who were eager to try and swear a Heavenly Dao Oath like Ksitigarbha immediately clamped their mouths shut, recalling the lightning with trepidation. It seems it’s not as simple as just shouting out loud to succeed!

Bai Jin said, "Ksitigarbha, follow me! The rest disperse!"

Ksitigarbha hesitated for a moment before following Bai Jin flying down towards the Netherworld.

Guang Chengzi gazed at the members of the Western Sect and said coldly, "Let’s go!" He then left with the Chan Sect members.

Mile brought his hands together and said, "Jin Naluo, that Immortal struck down by the thunderbolt has a fate with our Western Sect. Go and rescue him, we’re leaving."

Jin Naluo brought his hands together and replied, "Yes!"

...

Bai Jin and Ksitigarbha flew towards the lower levels of the Netherworld, the two not exchanging a single word, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Bai Jin slowed down, and Ksitigarbha immediately caught up, looking somewhat anxious.

Bai Jin extended his hand and patted Ksitigarbha’s shoulder, saying, "Little Cangcang, you’ve been wronged."

"Cough cough~" Ksitigarbha’s eyes suddenly widened, looking incredulously at Bai Jin, wondering who he was calling ’Little Cangcang’.

Bai Jin said solemnly, "Don’t be so shocked, as a teacher, I know everything."

Ksitigarbha took two steps back, frowning as he said, "Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

"Body as the Bodhi Tree, mind like the clear and bright platform, always diligently wipe it clean, and do not allow dust to settle. Little Cangcang, do you still remember?"

Ksitigarbha suddenly recalled that he had once bowed in semi-discipleship under his Master’s guidance. Now looking towards Bai Jin, his expression turned awkward as if he had eaten something distasteful.

Bai Jin said languidly, "Little Cangcang, what should you call me?"

Ksitigarbha, feeling awkward, said, "T... Teacher."

Bai Jin coughed and said contentedly, "Good child, your teacher has not loved you in vain."

Ksitigarbha felt even more uncomfortable, thinking who is being called a good child? He kept his head down and hurried forward.

Bai Jin gracefully caught up and said, "I know you’re uncomfortable, and I know the helplessness you feel. You were forced into all this."

"Senior Brother, I did it of my own free will," Ksitigarbha said.

Bai Jin patted Ksitigarbha’s shoulder, understandingly saying, "I get it! The Western Sect wants to get involved in the Underworld, hence sacrifices are necessary. But why must the sacrifice be you?! Is it because your Master from the Western Sect mistreats you?!"

Ksitigarbha replied with displeasure, "Senior Brother, Master is very kind to me..."

Bai Jin interrupted directly, "Actually, among the Western Sect Disciples, there are only two that I truly saw potential in, and you are one of them."

"Who is the other one?"

"It’s that little chubby Mile."

Ksitigarbha paused, puzzled, "Shouldn’t it be Mahasthamaprapta? The one who received poetry from you before was both me and Mahasthamaprapta."
