When Kongchan Arhat's voice fell, Tao Qian suddenly fully realized the reason why Demon Buddha Temple had boosted his fame earlier and given him five evil lands and five Buddha Treasures for free.
The main reason was, of course, to win him over, and this current event was a secondary cause.
"Those three old thieves probably had already predicted that Free Temple would come seeking trouble and had made arrangements in advance, drawing me into their schemes."
"It's also because I showed too much formidable power, making those three crafty bald heads convinced that I could defeat Shenxiu."
"Indeed, even with the Master intervening to trick them, it's not easy to take advantage of those old schemers."
While Tao Qian was cursing inwardly, Kongchan Arhat's telepathic message suddenly came.
"In haste, there was no time to discuss this properly with my wise nephew."
