To be honest, Jade Pond Ancestor has been through enough shocks today.

First, while hidden in the sky, she heard Golden Toad's scheme.

At that time, she couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly, her emotions rippling, which exposed her to the other party.

Although she had long known about the collaboration between the Bodhi Sect and demons, it didn't require the Three Immortals Sect to be involved. Besides, they used the Great Calamity as an excuse...

The Great Calamity must not be defied.

Everyone simply turned a blind eye, deceiving themselves in their hearts, and let it pass.

But now, the Bodhi Sect had even pierced this pretense and intended to directly intervene in the mortal world.

Jade Pond Ancestor, having cultivated for many years and reached this stage, could not deceive her Dao Heart. She found it difficult to bear, struggling to justify her actions in the face of the calamity.

But soon after, she heard about the monks attacking the True Gods and then even planning to kill her fellow cultivators from the Three Religions.

Could it be that being in the Southern Continent, far from the Sect Hierarch,

they hadn't truly comprehended the evolution of this calamity and were still facing the matter with a theatrical mindset?

By now, Jade Pond Ancestor was utterly astonished.

Not only was there infighting within the Three Religions, but even the disciples of the same lineage were killing each other over the Great Calamity's fortune?

Even more exaggerated was that the newly appeared Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, by his words,

seemed to completely disregard them, the Immortal Venerable Bodhisattvas.

"Impertinent!"

Golden Toad Bodhisattva's face twitched. Ever since this lad was brought into the sect by the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva and took over the scripture protection duty that should have been his, becoming famous after a battle outside the North Flow River, there were rumors within the sect, mostly about a contest between two tigers, with uncertain outcomes.

Although he knew not to be influenced by others, recognizing it could make him vulnerable to manipulation, he would not allow his position in Southern Sumeru to be challenged.

Everyone knew he, Golden Toad, was the disciple of the Future World Venerable.

But only a few knew that the Future Buddha held two inheritances, one of which, the top-rated Golden Cicada, had never been granted, while he, Golden Toad, was of the low rank.

Like a mortal dynasty with a vacant crown prince position, it's no wonder people would speculate.

Shen Yi's words undoubtedly struck a chord within him.

It turned out he wasn't being overly jealous.

This wild cultivator, who joined halfway, was truly audacious enough to challenge his position!

"Arrogant and presumptuous! Dare to ruin my plans for Southern Sumeru, seize him, and take him to the Pure World Bodhisattva for punishment!"

"This time, I will strip you of your position!"

In just two sentences, Golden Toad pinned the blame on Shen Yi.

Although the other Bodhisattvas knew it was a sect rivalry between the two, after a brief hesitation, even the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva, the highest in cultivation, chose to side with Golden Toad.

In terms of sect background, Dragon Subduing's foundation was too shallow. In terms of conduct, he was not any better than Golden Cicada and appeared even worse.

Moreover, having disclosed so much to the Three Immortals Sect, they couldn't let those two leave. Under such circumstances, how could they allow Dragon Subduing to cause trouble?

"Please surrender and let the Pure World Bodhisattva decide."

Seven Treasures Bodhisattva slightly bowed towards the distant youth, then the trapping Seven Wheel Treasure Light surrounded the other party as well.

Meanwhile, amid thunderous roars, the other Bodhisattvas manifested their Dharma Aspects.

Mighty and solemn, the golden bodies stood with heads reaching the sky, feet upon mountains and rivers, holding a ritual in one hand, slowly gazing down. Their golden eyes devoid of any sentient emotions, only filled with intense severity.

Low Buddha tones spread out, the radiance from their bodies gradually blending together, forming an insurmountable barrier.

The several golden bodies simultaneously extended another hand, collectively reaching for the figure.

It was as if boundless mountains had fallen from the sky, obstructing all visions and plunging the earth into darkness.

Unlike the solitary fighting style of the Three Immortals Sect, the Bodhi Sect, from walkers to the exalted Bodhisattvas, specialized in mysterious cooperative techniques, their strength exponentially increasing with numbers.

"Hiss!"

The two ancestors looked at the overwhelming giant palms coming at them, instinctively fleeing in trepidation.

If not for the sudden appearance of the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, they would be the ones facing such capture measures.

This bunch of monks had no fancy spells or Hundred Arts, but when it came to subduing demons and monsters, they were extremely proficient.

Upon reaching the edge of the radiance, their figures were forced to halt.

Even if they weren't the main targets of these Bodhisattvas, breaking through this barrier was impossible for the moment.

"..."

Jade Pond Ancestor gritted her teeth and looked back: "If you have no objections, the three of us working together have at least an eighty percent chance of success!"

If the two of them found it this troublesome, what about the youth enveloped by the giant golden palm?

Being taken down one by one by these Bodhisattvas, even with magic treasures for protection, escaping seemed unlikely.

However, it was this glance that left Jade Pond Ancestor momentarily dazed in the sky.

The several giant palms, without leaving any space for evasion, strangely suspended in midair, with the youth within showing no reaction, only radiating the same glow from his body.

Seven Treasures Bodhisattva sensed something wrong, just as he was about to speak up, it was already too late.
