He wore an expectant look, hoping the items were still there.
He immediately swept his consciousness over it, only to see emptiness.
No, there was one thing.
It was a voice recording Jade Scroll, triggered as the Asura Saint Son’s consciousness delved into it.
"Thank you for keeping these treasures of the Buddha for me. No need for thanks between brothers."
"Next time we meet, I’ll treat you to a good meal!"
"See you again, fate willing."
Buzz buzz buzz—
The Asura Saint Son’s hand trembled, pinching the Yang Fish until it buzzed continuously.
Finally, with a snap, it was crushed into pieces.
The Asura Saint Son trembled all over, his eyes bulging, bloodshot threads covering his eyeballs, making his sinister face even more ferocious.
"Jiang Fan!!!"
The Asura Saint Son roared at the sky, "You bastard... puh..."
Overwhelmed by rage and already injured by the Buddha Lord, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Then his vision went black, and he collapsed onto the asteroid.
A hero, fainted from sheer anger.
Hell Realm, Buddha Domain.
Jiang Fan nonchalantly tucked the Yin Fish into his bosom, preparing to sneak away, saying, "My esteemed seniors, the Buddha Domain has suffered severe casualties, and you are busy with affairs. I won’t disturb you any further."
"Farewell."
The Buddha Lord glanced at the Boundary Master’s corpse, surveying briefly between its legs, in his palm, and over its forehead.
He couldn’t help but recite a Buddhist chant: "Sin, sin, we have failed to protect our teachings, allowing the Buddha Holy Land to be defiled."
The other Buddha Venerates flared up:
"The Asura Saint Son is a sinner of Buddhism!"
"He will descend to Avici Hell, never to reincarnate!"
...
Feeling guilty, Jiang Fan condemned, "Exactly! The Asura Saint Son is despicable and shameless, an enemy of both realms!"
"If I meet him again, I will flay him, strip his flesh, tear his bones, and avenge the Buddha!"
Huh?
Several Buddha Venerates looked over, surprised.
Why was this Central Earth Person more outraged than they were?
Yue Mingzhu also snorted, "That hateful Asura Saint Son, stealing so many treasures, may he be cut off from offspring and—hmm hmm..."
Her small mouth was promptly covered by Jiang Fan.
Clearing his throat, Jiang Fan said, "Girls shouldn’t use foul language."
He cupped his hands towards the Buddha Lord again, saying, "I, the younger generation, will take my leave now."
The Buddha Lord nodded slightly, raising his palm, and the Yin Fish reappeared in it.
"Uncle Master Jiang came empty-handed, and perhaps you will leave without a cloud in the sky either."
What the...!
Jiang Fan was speechless, yet the Buddha Lord still sensed it.
Not surprising though.
He hadn’t had time to cleanse the Buddha’s aura from these items, so with the Buddha Venerates’ cultivation, detecting them wasn’t difficult.
He cleared his throat, awkwardly saying, "Don’t misunderstand, Buddha Lord."
"The Asura Saint Son plundered the Buddha’s possessions, and I had no choice but to salvage them protectively."
The Buddha Lord turned towards him, clasped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Master Jiang."
"West Spirit Mountain temporarily closes its doors. Master Jiang, you may go..."
Suddenly, the Buddha Lord’s eyebrows twitched, and he hastily clasped his hands, lowering his head.
A moment later, his aged body trembled slightly, looking at Jiang Fan with surprise.
"What’s wrong? I don’t have any of your Buddha Domain’s items on me!"
Jiang Fan quickly shielded his Heavenly Thunder Stone.
He still had some items from Buddhism, but they were from Central Earth’s Buddhism, unrelated to the Hell Realm Buddha Domain.
Yet, to Jiang Fan’s surprise.
