Asan spoke, the scene instantly fell silent. After all, he was a Buddha Son, and his words had to be heard.
"Senior Brother, what do you mean by this? How can you slander your junior brother like this?"
Unexpectedly, Modi, at this moment, did not give Asan a chance to explain. He hurriedly spoke, his expression filled with indignation.
"Junior Brother admits that you wanted to bring Li Xiaotian into the second heaven before, and I stopped you, causing you to lose face in front of Li Xiaotian."
"But Senior Brother, you must know your identity. You are a Buddha Son of Buddhism. outsiders are forbidden to enter our Buddhist sacred ground. I stopped you for your own good! Li Xiaotian is ambitious. Who knows what his purpose in coming to our Buddhism is? Senior Brother, you slander me for this matter, and Junior Brother is not convinced!!"
After speaking, Modi's expression was a mixture of anger, grievance, and also some disappointment.
To those around them, it seemed as if Modi was wholeheartedly considering the sect and Asan, but Asan was using his identity as a Buddha Son to bully and slander him!
"What?!! Buddha Son, is what Modi said true? Li Xiaotian was brought by you? You also wanted to sneak him into our sacred Buddhist ground?!! Are all these true?"
As soon as Modi finished speaking, the Buddhist powerhouses present were all shocked. Their gazes towards Asan were filled with disappointment and anger.
"Entry into the second heaven and above of Buddhism is forbidden for all outsiders. Buddha Son Asan, what exactly do you want to do by bringing Li Xiaotian into the second heaven?"
"You are a Buddha Son of Buddhism, how can you collude with Li Xiaotian, sneak into our sacred Buddhist ground, and bully and slander fellow disciples?"
Some powerhouses loudly questioned Asan. They were furious. Asan wanted to bring someone like Li Xiaotian into the second heaven, this was playing with fire!
One must know that for outsiders, even they, the elders, needed to report before entering the second heaven on weekdays.
Yet, Li Xiaotian, an outsider, almost broke into the second heaven just because Asan brought him. Why?!! Was Li Xiaotian even worthy?!!
"Buddha Son, you have disappointed us too much. If Modi hadn't said all this, we would have been kept in the dark, and you might have made a grave mistake. Li Xiaotian coming to our Buddhism is clearly with ill intentions. Buddha Son, you have been deceived by him!"
An elder spoke, looking at Asan with disappointment, feeling that Asan's decision this time was not worthy of his Buddha Son status.
"Li Xiaotian!!! Why don't you confess? Honestly explain, what were your intentions in deceiving the Buddha Son and attempting to sneak into the second heaven? What unspeakable secrets do you have for coming to our Buddhism?"
Someone roared, staring intently at Li Xiaotian, believing that Li Xiaotian was the mastermind behind all of this.
Asan's face turned pale. He tried to speak several times, but others cut him off. His heart was filled with difficulty and disappointment at this moment. Was this how his fellow disciples saw him?
Li Xiaotian sensed the change in Asan's state of mind and frowned. He knew he had to act, as Asan could not handle this situation.
Boom!!!
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Li Xiaotian's body. The pressure of a Hegemon instantly suppressed everyone present, especially the Buddhist powerhouses, making their faces turn red and unable to speak.
Then, Li Xiaotian glanced at the Buddhist powerhouses and spoke coldly.
"All of you, shut up!!! A bunch of fools, you're being played like a fiddle without even understanding the truth! Asan is the Buddha Son, do you show him any respect?"
"He is the Buddha Son acknowledged by all of you Buddhist powerhouses. Do you think he would betray the interests of Buddhism? Be deceived by me? Slander his fellow disciples? If he were such a person, could he become the Buddha Son?"
"Li Xiaotian, you are audacious! How dare you be so presumptuous in our Buddhism at this stage!"
At this moment, Modi roared with excitement. In his eyes, Li Xiaotian stepping forward now was undoubtedly seeking his own death.
This was Buddhism. Although there were no Hegemons stationed in the outer sect, if they continued to be so presumptuous, the powerhouses residing in the second heaven and above would soon be alerted, and then, a powerhouse would deal with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaotian glanced over sharply. Instantly, a terrifying killing intent enveloped Modi, making him feel a chill all over his body, filled with fear.
And at this time, the other Buddhist powerhouses present were also enraged. Li Xiaotian was simply too presumptuous. However, as soon as their auras erupted, they were once again suppressed by Li Xiaotian.
"I told you to shut up, so shut up. Don't think that just because this is your territory, I dare not kill anyone!"
Li Xiaotian said coldly, his killing intent boiling.
For a moment, everyone in the Buddhist faction was both shocked and angry. He was too presumptuous, simply lawless! This was a provocation to their Buddhism!!!
However, Li Xiaotian's actions were very effective. No one dared to risk their lives to speak, because considering Li Xiaotian's various actions, they all knew that Li Xiaotian really dared to kill them.
However, they were not worried. Li Xiaotian was courting death. When the powerhouses from the second heaven and above descended, it would be Li Xiaotian's doom.
"Amitabha, esteemed elders, and fellow disciples of the outer sect, Li Xiaotian was brought by this humble monk, and I was planning to take him to the second heaven and above, but that is because an elder wants to see him. This humble monk is merely guiding him, nothing more."
Asan spoke. This was the truth. He never expected that such a simple matter would escalate to this point.
After Asan said this, the reactions of the people present varied – some were surprised, some were suspicious, and some found it hard to believe.
"May I ask the Buddha Son, which elder in the sect wants to see Li Xiaotian? Why are none of us aware of this?"
A powerhouse spoke, his eyes somewhat uncertain. If what Asan said was true, then everything could be explained.
"Amitabha, please forgive this humble monk for not being able to reveal the identity of that elder, but everything this humble monk says is the truth."
Asan replied, feeling a bit hesitant in his heart. If he were to reveal that Bodhisattva Ananda wanted to see Li Xiaotian, it would likely shock the entire Buddhism, and not only that, but the entire Buddha State would know about it.
One must know that outside Buddhism, countless powerhouses from various sects were constantly seeking to see Bodhisattva Ananda, and it was the same within Buddhism.
If these people were to know that Bodhisattva Ananda had specifically summoned Li Xiaotian, especially at a time when Li Xiaotian was at war with the Blissful Buddha Sect, if this were to spread, it would likely cause a huge uproar.
"Heh heh, Senior Brother, a monastic does not lie. Since an elder wants to see Li Xiaotian, why can't his identity be revealed?"
Modi spoke with a cold smile. He had initially believed Asan's words, but upon hearing Asan's response, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Asan could come up with such a flawed excuse?
Before Asan could respond, Modi spoke again.
"Even if an elder in the sect wants to see Li Xiaotian, why not inform our outer sect? The trivial matters of the sect are handled by the outer sect, so why are we unaware of this?"
"Moreover, with your status, Senior Brother, the only person in the sect who can command you is no one other than the Sect Master. However, the Sect Master is currently in seclusion, and there has been no news of the Sect Master emerging from seclusion."
