Chapter 74 The Crisis Is Not Over
Over the vast expanse of the celestial river in the sky.
Sun Wukong had not forgotten that he was still the overall supervisor of the martial arts tournament, and after releasing Bai He, he personally escorted the Jade Emperor to the seat of honor.
Meanwhile, according to the previously planned agenda, he instructed Ne Zha, Yang Chan, and Tian Peng to assign people to lead the followers of the Chan, Jie, and Buddhist Schools to their respective floating islands to take their seats.
As for the rest of the immortals, they had already taken their seats earlier. Although the order had been disrupted due to the previous conflict, no further arrangements were needed.
Just as the immortals thought that the awe-inspiring martial arts tournament was about to commence, another unexpected incident occurred.
"How could we, disciples of the Buddha, be seated in such a remote area? Is this the way the celestial court treats its guests?" a monk questioned.
These Buddhist monks who had followed Fearful to leave the Buddha were led by Tian Peng to a place far from the center of the martial arts tournament, only slightly higher in stature than the ordinary deities, which was not the case in previous years.
Hearing the commotion, Tian Peng came over to retort, "Hey, I’m curious now, doesn’t Buddhism preach the equality of all beings? Do you mean to say that there are ranks among those present?
And by your logic, the Buddhists are guests and not under the jurisdiction of the celestial court?"
The monk was taken aback, and the faces of the other monks changed as well.
