Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 265: Manjusri is ridiculed

After dealing with Han Rong, Manjusri Bodhisattva walked to the front of the two armies.

The slanting sunlight shone on his flowing Taoist robe with a layer of golden glow, making him look even more like a sage.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Huang Feihu and others opposite him. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the battlefield, carrying a majesty and power that could not be ignored.

"I am a disciple of the Jade Purity Saint of the Chan Sect - Manjusri Bodhisattva. The Ning Sheng you captured earlier is my disciple."

"Today, I will not embarrass you. You just need to let the people who arrested Ning Sheng come out to accept punishment."

Manjusri Bodhisattva continued speaking, his words revealing an indescribable compassion and tolerance.

Huang Feihu and others were angry when they heard this.

They didn't expect that Manjushri Bodhisattva was so thick-skinned.

"Humph, this is ridiculous! On the battlefield, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is the first time I have heard that after capturing an enemy general, he still has to come out to be punished."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Huang Feihu's words, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Upon hearing this, the deputy generals around nodded in agreement, with the same anger and unwillingness flashing in their eyes.

"What the prince said is absolutely true!"

A deputy general stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "This Taoist, who talks about morality and virtue and boasts of being noble, ruthlessly killed our general of Sishui Pass in front of our army."

"How can such behavior not make people feel chilled? Why doesn't he come out to be punished and give us an explanation?"

"that is!"

Another deputy general could not hold back his anger and said bluntly, "As a cultivator, you should be pure-hearted, cultivate your mind and cultivate your character, and be compassionate."

"But this Taoist is here making a lot of high-sounding remarks, saying that if his apprentice is captured, he must come out and be punished."

"Humph, I think he just relies on his high level of cultivation to act recklessly and not care about the lives of others."

"How can such behavior convince people?"

His words were like a sharp blade, pointing directly at the hypocrisy and selfishness of Manjusri Bodhisattva.

After hearing this, the surrounding soldiers responded one after another. Their anger erupted like a volcano, enveloping the entire battlefield in anger.

After hearing what the Shang army soldiers said, Manjusri Bodhisattva remained calm, but his eyes revealed disdain.

"I will say it again, whoever captured Ning Sheng should come forward. If not, don't blame me for being merciless."

The voice of Manjusri Bodhisattva echoed over the battlefield, carrying with it unquestionable majesty and a hint of barely perceptible chill.

At this time, among the Shang army, Yu Hua rode his mount, the Fire-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, slowly walked to Huang Feihu's side, bowed respectfully, and then said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I, Yu Hua, am willing to take full responsibility for this matter."

"That Taoist's disciple, Ning Sheng, was captured by me after fighting hard on the battlefield."

"Since that Taoist wants me to go out and fight him, in order to prevent him from disrupting the morale of the army, I will ask for your permission to fight for the Shang Dynasty!"

Huang Feihu's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this.

However, he also knew how powerful Manjusri Bodhisattva was, so he naturally did not want to let his subordinates go out to die.

So, he shook his head, looked at Yu Hua with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"General Yu, your courage is commendable and I admire you. However, this person's skills are very advanced and you cannot handle him."

Having said that, Huang Feihu sighed softly, his eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

"Since we know there is no chance of winning, why let the soldiers sacrifice their lives in vain? Are we just throwing our heads away?"

When Yu Hua heard this, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but more of it was respect and understanding for Huang Feihu.

So he nodded slowly, put away his weapon, and stepped aside.

Huang Feihu felt relieved when he saw this. He turned to face the entire army and said in a loud voice:

"All officers, listen up! Return to the city immediately and hang up the banner of no war!"

As Huang Feihu's order was issued, the Shang army soldiers acted quickly and retreated in an orderly manner.

Although their pace was fast, they did not seem panicky at all and were obviously well-trained.

Manjusri Bodhisattva stood where he was, looking at the retreating Shang army, and was stunned.

He originally thought that there would be people in the Shang army camp who would launch a desperate challenge, but he did not expect that they would choose to retreat so decisively.

"Humph, you are a man who knows the current situation."

Manjusri Bodhisattva snorted coldly, his tone was full of both sarcasm and disdain, "But do you think that if you order them to withdraw, I won't dare to take action?"

Huang Feihu did not get angry when he heard this, but laughed instead. That smile contained both contempt for Manjusri Bodhisattva and a calm confidence.

He brushed off the dust on his robe, stared at Manjusri Bodhisattva with a sharp gaze, and said in a steady and powerful voice:

"Oh, it's not that I look down on you. If you are really brave enough to attack a mortal, then I will take your last name."

He paused and continued to mock:

"Although this king has limited knowledge, he does know some cause and effect relationships. All things have spirits, and cause and effect are cyclical."

"If a cultivator attacks a mortal, what kind of consequences will he face? I believe you know better than me."

Huang Feihu's words were so powerful that Manjusri Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly.

He had not expected that this tiny human being before him would have such insights.

Manjusri Bodhisattva didn’t know whether the times were changing too fast or he had experienced too little.

Things here are actually developing outwards somewhat out of control.

"Huh, what a causal cycle."

Manjusri Bodhisattva snorted coldly, but his tone was less arrogant than before. "Although you are a mortal, you have such insight, which is rare."

He waved his sleeves, then changed the subject, his tone became firm and cold:

"But I will naturally seek an explanation for what happened today."

"I will not attack a mortal soldier without any reason. However, I will not show mercy to the Jiejiao disciple beside you."

After saying that, Manjusri Bodhisattva's gaze suddenly turned to Yu Hua, who was riding on the fire-eyed golden-eyed beast beside Huang Feihu.

Huang Feihu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly turned around to look at Yu Hua.

At this time, Yu Hua saw that the verbal exchange involved him, so he took a step forward, looked at Manjusri Bodhisattva with a sharp gaze, and said sarcastically:

"Manjusri Bodhisattva, one of the twelve golden immortals of the Chan school, actually wants to bully the weak."

"As a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, you actually want to fight me, a fourth-generation disciple of the Jie Sect."

"No one else would act this way. No wonder the three generations of disciples taught by the Chan Sect are so useless."

When Manjusri Bodhisattva heard the sarcasm in Yu Hua's words, he could no longer maintain a calm expression.

The corners of his mouth turned down, his expression visibly sank, he looked at Yu Hua and said coldly:

"How dare you! The disciples of Jiejiao are really lawless. How dare you speak to me like this? It shows that your master is not a good teacher."

"Humph, today, I will teach you how to be polite on behalf of your master!"

Having said that, a faint sense of oppression began to spread around Manjusri Bodhisattva, and the vast spiritual power in his body was about to burst out.

Seeing this, Yu Hua couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart, but he was also a disciple of the Jiejiao after all, so he would not show weakness easily.

He straightened his back, met Manjusri's gaze with a firm gaze, and said in a cold voice:

"If you want to bully the weak, just say it directly. Why bother talking nonsense? People from your Chan sect all act like this. I have known this for a long time!"

Yu Hua's voice was calm and powerful, and every word was like a carefully carved sword, pointing directly at the intention of Manjusri Bodhisattva.

He paused and continued:

"Besides, you want to teach on behalf of my master, but you don't even think about your own status. Are you worthy of it?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around them froze instantly.
