Chapter 497

Inside the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, all decorations had vanished, leaving the space completely empty.

Half of the Arhats and Jieti were gone.

Several Bodhisattvas and Buddhas were missing.

Of those remaining, half were either missing an arm or a leg.

"World Honored One, what shall we do next?"

The group of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas turned their gazes in unison toward the Tathagata Buddha, whose expression was as gloomy as water.

"Tathagata, your strength has earned our recognition. How about we join forces for a surprise raid on the Tianzhu Sect next time?"

"We will help you slay at least one of the Trimurti; that way, you can return to Tianzhu."

Just then, Li Shimin's voice transmission rang out in the Tathagata Buddha's ear.

"The identity of the thieves is unknown; investigate them first."

"If Mount Ling continues to fight them, the losses will surely be heavy."

The Tathagata Buddha's expression remained unchanged as he commanded.

"Retreat!"

On Mount Ling, Li Shimin used his True Qi to lift a mountain-like pile of treasures and, without any hesitation, flew toward Dongying.

The reason he sent the voice transmission to the Tathagata Buddha was entirely to stall the Tathagata Buddha's actions.

As for which divine faction to raid next, heaven only knows.

"I am the Heavenly Court's special envoy, Taibai Jinxing, acting under the order of the Heavenly Emperor—"

Just then, an immortal riding on clouds appeared before Li Shimin with a smile on his face.

Clearly, the Heavenly Court did not want to go to war with Li Shimin, Daoist Master Daoxuan, and the others.

After all, it was Mount Ling that was raided, not the core power of the Heavenly Court.

"I wonder which faction these people belong to?"

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor and a group of high officials were observing the interaction between Taibai Jinxing and Li Shimin through the Haotian Mirror.

"Seal!"

Li Shimin's expression brightened, and without any hesitation, he directly sealed Taibai Jinxing.

This was an immortal resource delivered right to his doorstep.

At almost the same moment, Daoist Master Daoxuan, the Old Heavenly Master, Beimingzi, and others also sealed the envoys of the various divine factions who were attempting to contact them.

They sealed and took them all away!

They were already preparing to leave, and yet there were immortal envoys delivering themselves.

It was simply resources being delivered voluntarily.

The Jade Emperor, God, King Zeus, and other deities: "???"

These are damn bandits!
