All they were concerned about was whether the Buddha would punish them.
"Since the Buddha already knew that the Great Emperor Ziwei was going to strike against the Netherworld, why not stop Sun Wukong and the others? If we could occupy the Netherworld for a long time, it would greatly benefit our Buddhist Realm."
The Master of the Black Nest asked bewilderedly.
As high-ranking officials of Mount Ling, they were well aware that Mount Ling's strength was far more than what met the eye.
Only the Buddha himself knew exactly how much power he had accumulated over the years.
Tathagata Buddha had always adhered to one principle: he would never destroy those who could be subdued, no matter how serious their crimes were.
This was also why the Green Lion, White Elephant, and the Golden-Winged Roc made such grave mistakes, yet they still did not receive any punishment.
