Perhaps because today's Sun Wukong, after his revival, has regained the rebellious nature of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, or perhaps he has perceived the harm of Mahayana Buddhism, thus this Victorious Battle Buddha particularly despises the enlightening of people through Mahayana Buddhism.

This might be the reason Sun Wukong chose to help the Awakened.

If he didn't want to, even the Awakened couldn't force him to do anything.

"Let's go."

The pitch-black sparrow spoke, about to flap its wings and take flight once more.

With his eye power, he could already see large clouds of smoke rising in the distance, heading toward the city center.

Jiang Li also looked over, seeing under the smokey haze, colorful towers being erected along the streets, with thick candles burning from afar all the way to the near.

Outside the colorful towers hang the seven treasures of the Buddhist sect, making a crisp and melodious sound as the breeze blows.

In the rising incense smoke, monks hold banners, split left and right, with two bronze statues being carried by monks in the center, slowly moving forward.

The Bodhisattva statue in front has a solemn treasure-like appearance, bearing a compassionate look, holding a Pure Bottle with a willow branch inserted, truly the image of Guanyin. The Bodhisattva statue behind is pure and sacred, hand pinching a Dharma Seal, smiling while standing, representing the Lifeless Mother.

The sound of chanting scriptures comes distantly, and it grows louder as the two Buddha statues approach. Believers kneeling on both sides of the street also start chanting the scriptures; for the people of Buddha Country, this is basic operation.

Soon, half of the city resonates with scripture chanting.

The current situation suggests that people in the city are welcoming the statues of the two Bodhisattvas into the temple.

Sun Wukong simply doesn't want to witness this scene, so he wants to leave directly.

"I thought the Great Saint would directly smash those two bronze statues." Jiang Li observed, transmitting his thoughts.

"What use is it to smash two bronze statues? I, Old Sun, can smash two, and then those believers can make twenty more. In the end, it would only trouble them more."

The black sparrow glanced downward, slightly raised its head, saying: "Besides, who do you think I, Old Sun, am? My violent temper has long changed, and I won't expose my whereabouts because of a momentary impulse."

They transformed into birds and flew for half a day just to evade Tan Wuwei's divine skills detecting them.

To expose their whereabouts for meaningless anger would render the previous half day's flight meaningless.

As Sun Wukong flew up, suddenly chaotic sounds erupted below.

"Bodhisattva!"

A middle-aged man dressed in brocade loudly exclaimed, "Pray for Bodhisattva's mercy, help believers attain Ultimate Bliss."

As he shouted, he grabbed a mass of gold foil and scattered it.

This act was like a fuse, instantly igniting the fervent atmosphere.

"Bodhisattva's mercy, believers are willing to expend all wealth to enlighten people, merely asking to proceed to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Another wealthy middle-aged man imitated the first, taking handfuls of gold notes from his sleeve and tossed them into the sky.

"Bodhisattva's mercy."

All the wealthy present tossed out their possessions, be it gold, silver, jade, some even threw their brocade clothing away.

The rest, consumed by joy, gathered the money or succumbed to the fervor, kowtowing in worship, not caring if their forehead bled from hitting the ground. Those impoverished tried to emulate the donation, yet having no wealth, some, driven by sentiment, pulled out small knives and cut off fingers, imitating the Buddhist legend of offering flesh to eagles.

This was another fuse, many frenzied individuals resorted to self-harm to show their devoutness.

Fervor destroys reason, leading to giving for the sake of giving, offering for the sake of offering, at the cost of self-harm.

This scene, causing Sun Wukong, who originally planned to avert his eyes, to land once more, his golden eyes coldly watching below, especially the few who led and stirred the frenzy.

"Devil's Child and Devil's Grandson have started wearing human skin." The black sparrow sneered.

The so-called Devil's Child and Devil's Grandson refers to the devil disciples of Devaputra.

There is record in the Buddhist Scripture where Devaputra said to Tathagata: During the End of Dharma, my descendants shall be monks, wear your kasaya, destroy your Buddhist law, act devilishly in the name of Buddha.

Sun Wukong, worthy of being a cultural monkey, effortlessly quoted the Buddhist scripture.

Now, during the End of Dharma period, this scene is so similar to what Devaputra stated.

Buddha Country's Buddhist law has eight major origins, fundamentally orthodox, while beyond orthodoxy lie three thousand heterodox, not joining proper law. When Fire House Buddha Hell raised its momentum, besides Karma Tathagata's assets split from Buddha Country, heterodox also followed suit.

Now Buddha Country faces chaotic times again, Fire House Buddha Hell rises, and three thousand heterodox are stirring the winds and rains.

Currently, those leading below are either followers of Fire House Buddha Hell or heterodox.

As Sun Wukong spoke, bright light emerged from his eyes, flame light descended from the sky, ruthlessly devouring those evil heterodox. Moreover, fiery meteors struck down, shattering the two Buddha statues, leaving the surrounding monks either dead or wounded.

The black sparrow suddenly let out a satisfied sigh.

While Jiang Li turned to the sparrow and asked, "Great Saint, didn't you change your violent temper?"

How is it that you expose your whereabouts?

"This is Heaven's Punishment, it is heaven being furious, what does it have to do with Old Sun?"

Sun Wukong snorted lightly, flapped his wings to take off, "Let's go, let's go, we are birds now, where would birds not flee when seeing this scene?"

'Too late to flee now.' Jiang Li murmured softly, also flapping his wings to take off, already prepared to strike.

After Tan Wuwei and Guanyin enlightened this city, they left part of the monk crowd to continue westward. According to Sun Wukong's previous words, she shouldn't be far, now should have sensed the anomaly.

Perhaps in the next moment, these two Great Masters of Buddha Country will arrive.

At that time······

'Perhaps just go all out and join forces with Sun Wukong to slay the two.'

Jiang's killer instinct arose.

Even if there is Yellow Heaven as a backbone, even standing on the same ground as Taibai True Monarch, these two would not fare well against Jiang Li and Sun Wukong.

One man and one monkey using transformation as a disguise, they do not want to expose Jiang Li's whereabouts, it is not due to fear.

However, Tan Wuwei seems to have sensed that a strong enemy is arriving, knowing the situation is not good, thus they flew over a hundred miles without enemy appearance. Even on the way, there were no signs of mass movement.

'Strange, where could these two with tens of thousands of monks go?'

Jiang Li, intrigued, was about to probe Qi Fortune once more. But this time, what he saw in his eyes was only chaotic Pure Land and various types of alien energy, rendering him incapable of clearly seeing Qi Shu changes.

Jiang Li was drawn into the situation, also trapped in the imminent chaos.

Reluctantly, Jiang Li had to abandon the idea of observing Qi.

Later seeing they have flown over a thousand miles, the two simply reverted to their original forms, heading toward the Mountain of Mind and Heart.
