Chapter 2390 - The Guardian of the Hall of Mourning in Yellow Sands City
Treasure Leaf had joined his enemies’ camp in order to avenge a departed friend.
He’d paid an enormous price to do so. He’d endured for countless years, hiding his fangs and claws, all the while waiting for an opportunity.
No one knew how Treasure Leaf had gotten on all these years, nor did anyone understand why this dazzling demon ancestor who’d once intimidated the Endless Ocean would endure so much.
But now that the Dipankara Buddha had revealed all his cards, all of his forbearance had come to naught! All of his long years of waiting had been in vain, and all of his time and effort had gone to waste.
That wasn’t all. In the end, the Dipankara Buddha was using him to do something sure to end in tragedy.
All of this came as an unquestionably heavy blow to the Treasure Leaf Demon Ancestor. How could he accept it all at once?
His expression shifted, and he stood there in silence.
After a while, he let out a long breath. “I should have followed Yan Chizhen’s example back then. Even if I’d died in battle... I could have at least slain a few bastards first.”
The Dipankara Buddha remained seated, eyes closed. He didn’t say a word.
Treasure Leaf stared at him for a moment, but in the end, he said nothing. He just turned and left.
After he’d vanished from view, Gu Huaxian reappeared and asked, “You’re just letting him go?”
"The Paired Heart-Guiding Worms might be unseemly, but oftentimes, unseemly little tricks like them are unbelievably useful for controlling someone,” said the Dipankara Buddha, slowly opening his eyes. “Even if he tries to play tricks to avoid killing Demon Venerate Five Desires, I’ll naturally seize control of his awareness and help him finish the job.”
