Tathagata was momentarily at a loss for words. He couldn't say that if all of you didn't follow me, it would mean that he had abandoned the buddhist faith.
He had been the leader of the Buddhist Sangha for countless years. If he didn't have this bit of scheming in mind, he wouldn't have stayed in the position of leader for so long.
Medrofurazone shook his head as he saw this. He still had that honest smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with ridicule.
"Amitabha," Medrofurazone sighed. He looked at Tathagata and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you don't even know what you are persevering at. It seems that it is time for a change in the Buddhist Sect …"
As he said that, Medrofurazone's expression became serious. The usual honest smile on his face disappeared and was replaced with a cold expression.
"This humble monk supports Lamp-burning Buddha in the establishment of small Thunderclap Temple, and respects Saint Xuan Zang as the leader of the Buddhist Sangha!" Medrofurazone said word by word as he looked at Tathagata.
"I also support Lamp-burning Buddha!" The moment Medrofurazone finished, someone in the crowd spoke up.
Everyone followed the voice and looked over, and they noticed that the prostrate tiger, Arhat, had a calm expression as he stood up from the lotus throne.
The buddhist experts were not too surprised to see this. After all, the two arhats had always been linked by one another, and now that the Arhat Descended the Dragon had clearly expressed his support for Lamp-burning Buddha, it was only a matter of time before the Arhat Descended the Dragon and Tiger stepped forward.
Tathagata's face was gloomy as his gaze swept across the faces of the buddhist experts. Word by word, he said, "Anyone else who supports Lamp-burning Buddha, stand forward."
He was very clear that Lamp-burning Buddha and Medrofurazone, the two great buddhist powers, had stepped forward one after the other. Now that the splitting of the buddhist faith was inevitable, all he could do was to minimize the impact of the buddhist division.
It would be best if only Lamp-burning Buddha and Medrofurazone, along with the buddhist experts they had close relations with, could leave.
This way, the luck of the buddhist faith wouldn't be lost too badly. In this time's Infinitesimal Calamity s, the buddhist faith could still plunder a large amount of benefits to stabilize their own position.
Upon hearing Tathagata's words, the many buddhist experts at the Great Proud Palace immediately fell silent.
They weren't idiots, how could they not hear the threat hidden in Tathagata's words?
Lamp-burning Buddha and Medrofurazone were both very powerful, and the strength of the Arhat Descending Dragon was also one of the top in the Buddhist Sect. The three of them weren't afraid of Tathagata's revenge at all.
Even the somewhat weaker Arhat had a good relationship with the Arhat. Even if Tathagata wanted to make a move against the Arhat, he would have to think twice before doing so.
However, they were different. If they dared to openly support Lamp-burning Buddha, even if Tathagata didn't settle the deal with them right now, when the limelight passes, Tathagata would probably come to them one by one to settle it!
After all, the golden cicada's example was still there!
One could say that Tathagata was in charge of the Buddhist Sect and held the life and death of countless Buddha Arhats. Thus, even if some people were moved by Tathagata's deterrence, they would not dare to express their attitude.
When Tathagata saw this scene, his eyes flashed with a luster. He had been in charge of the buddhist faith for countless years and had a great reputation. His position in the buddhist faith was far from something that a few traitors could shake!
"Amitabha, it seems like no one is willing to leave with Lamp-burning Buddha," Tathagata said as he looked at Lamp-burning Buddha.
Although Tathagata had a calm expression, everyone could hear the pride in his words!
