Chapter 1317

Although Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li and the others did not use their full strength and even showed some restraint, they were, after all, cultivators and gods of the Heavenly Court.

Their strikes were extremely extraordinary, and even though Marshal Tianpeng had broken through to Daluo Jinxian, he was still unable to withstand such attacks.

Not to mention that Taishang Laojun had also secretly made a move.

Even though Marshal Tianpeng had fought Yang Jian to such a state earlier without getting injured, he was now bleeding in the Hall of Divine Might of the Heavenly Court.

As for Maitreya Buddha, he stood to the side, quietly watching.

Maitreya Buddha did not know of Senior Wu Feng's existence at all, so as for why the one hundred thousand Heavenly River naval forces appeared in Gao Laozhuang...

In Maitreya Buddha's view, there was only one reason: someone in the Heavenly Court had authorized it.

As for who it could be, did that even need to be said?

Not to mention the appearance of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir later.

Without Taishang Laojun's support, how could a Golden Elixir, and a Nine-Turn one at that, be leaked out!

Therefore, in Maitreya Buddha's eyes, all of this was a play being put on by the Heavenly Court.

However, since the Western Fomen had re-formed an alliance with the Heavenly Court and could even insert disciples back into the Netherworld,

it could be said that although they had paid a certain price, the gains were still good.

Therefore, regarding what was happening before him, Maitreya Buddha maintained an expression of seeing through it without saying it.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

"I was wrong, isn't it enough that I admit I was wrong?!"

Emperor Haotian, hearing this, spoke once again.

"Marshal Tianpeng, I will ask you one last time: is this matter entirely your own doing!"

Hearing Emperor Haotian's question, Marshal Tianpeng naturally understood what was in his mind.

Emperor Haotian simply wanted him to take full responsibility for this incident.

That way, the Western Fomen would not question too much, thereby avoiding the exposure of Senior Wu Feng's existence.

Although Marshal Tianpeng really did not want to be the scapegoat,

looking at his colleagues on the side who had been beating him with ill intent,

Marshal Tianpeng knew that if he did not admit to it, he would likely be beaten up again.

In the end, Marshal Tianpeng had no choice but to admit it.

Thinking of this, Marshal Tianpeng directly confessed.

"Yes. Your Majesty, this matter was entirely due to my own selfish desires."

"That Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was also stolen by me from Taishang Laojun's furnace."

Since he had to admit it anyway, why should he get beaten up again?

Consequently, Marshal Tianpeng readily admitted that everything was his own doing.

The reason was his own selfish desire.

Hearing Marshal Tianpeng's words, Maitreya Buddha almost rolled his eyes.

Marshal Tianpeng was only a Taiyi Jinxian at the time; that he could enter Taishang Laojun's alchemy room and steal treasures,

was something Maitreya Buddha would never believe.

After all, if nothing else, Taishang Laojun's mount, the Green Ox, was an obstacle Marshal Tianpeng could not overcome.

Not to mention that there were two alchemy boys beside Taishang Laojun's furnace.

If you ask why Maitreya Buddha was so clear about the layout of Taishang Laojun's alchemy room... ===== CHAPTER 1319 =====
