The Golden Winged Dapeng was taken aback and utterly shocked, greatly astonished. He glanced at Tongtian Hierarch and, noticing that the Sect Hierarch was still calmly preaching to Green Lion and Bai Xiang, heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was annoyed with himself for having misspoken. Mentioning Tathagata in front of Tongtian Hierarch—isn't that seeking death? Tathagata was once Tongtian Hierarch's most prized disciple, yet he ran off to Buddhism to become a Buddha. Tongtian Hierarch must be furious. I could have mentioned anyone else, but bringing up Tathagata is like slapping Tongtian Hierarch in the face. Sha Chen probably wouldn't even need to act; the Sect Hierarch himself might kill me, he thought.
The Golden Winged Dapeng hurriedly said, "Sha Chen... River Lord, River Lord, don't kill me! Please, don't kill me! I know I was wrong."
"You've forgiven my two brothers, so please let me go. As long as you spare me, I'll do anything."
