438: Unworthy of God

Boom!

With a violent explosion, the already ruined Great Khan's tent erupted from the ground. A middle-aged man with a blood-red complexion, dressed in Turkic clothing, suddenly leapt out. He glared at Tang Ku with angry eyes and shouted sharply, "Where did this wild monk come from? You dare to beard the lion? You must be tired of living!"

Behind him stood a row of men and women, all looking at Tang Ku with expressions mixed with shock and anger.

Tang Ku sneered, "What? You destroyed the Xi Liang Womens Kingdom. Do you not know whose territory that is, or who protects it?"

The eyes of Luo Hou Star Lord were almost filled with blood-red color. He said coldly, "You are... Tang Sanzang?"

"Heh!"

Tang Ku cast a disdainful glance at him and sneered, "Finally remembered, have you? It's good that you're here. And that one behind you, is it Yinghuo or Ji Du? Heh, today, you are the only one I intend to kill... If the rest of you don't want to die, get out of here!"

A powerful Killing Intent instantly pressed down upon the two of them. Luo Hou Star Lord was furious. Although this man was usually quite calculating, someone had suddenly launched a sneak attack from the shadows, destroyed his residence, and then spouted wild words about killing him. How could he endure such rage?

But, endure it he must!

Jidu Star Lord, who had just floated up a moment ago, tugged at his sleeve from behind. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Jidu Star Lord signaling him to look down.

Luo Hou looked down, and his expression changed instantly. He stared at Tang Ku with eyes full of terror and fury, saying incredulously, "This... did you do this?"

Tang Ku sneered, "What do you think?"

Luo Hou was almost frightened into retreating by Tang Ku's gaze. He had originally assumed that the tent's destruction was due to another faction attacking. Who would have thought it was done by a monk? And it wasn't just the tent that was destroyed; that single strike had actually reduced the entire city to ruins.

Not to mention that his power was currently damaged, even during his prime in the Heavenly Court, he did not possess such strength!

This monk's offensive power was simply too terrifying!

Swallowing hard, he drifted slightly backward and said in a deep voice, "Tang Sanzang, did you come here to avenge the Daughter's Country?"

Tang Ku sneered, "What do you think?"

"However, as far as I know, Lunar Star Lord and her guards have already been wiped out. I assume you were responsible for that as well. Since you have already taken your revenge, why do you still come looking for me?"

Luo Hou frowned and said, "Do you think I, Luo Hou, am easy to bully? Or is it that you think Gouchen the Great Emperor is easy to bully..."

Tang Ku flicked his sleeve, cutting him off directly, and shouted sharply, "Shut up! Stop with the excuses, and don't try to scare me with that Gouchen the Great Emperor. Do you dare say you don't know why Lunar Star Lord went to cause trouble for the Daughter's Country? Heh, how does that old saying go? If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place!"

Luo Hou instantly understood that his plan to incite Lunar Star Lord to retaliate against Tang Sanzang and deal with the Daughter's Country had been completely exposed.

In other words, Tang Sanzang had already been in contact with one of the other factions, and the one most likely to have told him about this was that old guy who supports the original Jade Emperor!

Luo Hou swallowed again. He had no idea how strong Tang Seng was now, but according to the scouts who reported back, his killing of Lunar Star Lord was essentially an all-around crushing and slaughter. Although he was a bit stronger than Lunar Star Lord, as for whether he could beat Tang Sanzang... he had absolutely no confidence.

Jidu Star Lord suddenly pulled Luo Hou to his side and bowed to Tang Ku, saying, "Master Sanzang, you say you want to use us to pay tribute to the souls lost in the Daughter's Country. May I ask you, since the culprit has already been brought to justice, why must you implicate innocent people like us?"

Jidu Star Lord appeared to be a young man, but he looked like a schoolteacher with a three-strand black beard, appearing quite refined.

"Heh, still putting on an act? Why did Lunar Star Lord go to the Daughter's Country? Why did she slaughter the city? Do you not know who incited her?"

Tang Ku's anger had reached its peak, but he had promised Great Immortal Zhenyuan that he would not implicate the innocent, so he had not yet made any move to strike.

However, Jidu Star Lord's sophistry almost made him change his mind. He forcefully suppressed his rage and asked three questions, restraining himself repeatedly.

"Heh, this is truly ridiculous. You have no solid evidence, and secondly, no witnesses to corroborate. How can you be sure that it was us who incited her to destroy the country? We dare not accept such an accusation!"

Jidu Star Lord slightly raised his head and sneered, "For you to come and slander us without any evidence is truly chilling!"

"No evidence, you say? Hmm, I indeed have no evidence in my hands!"

Tang Ku suddenly turned his head to look at Great Immortal Zhenyuan and calmly transmitted his voice, "Great Immortal, you have seen and heard it too. What are your thoughts?"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan was speechless for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Forget it. For such shameless people, I... I can no longer protect them!"

Tang Ku smiled, a very bright smile. He turned to look at Luo Hou and his group and said calmly, "Hmm, I don't have evidence, but cultivators can swear an oath to their conscience. As long as you point to the sky and swear that none of you incited Lunar Star Lord to attack the Daughter's Country, to seize the Luck of another country, or to slaughter another's nation, I will let you leave. My, Tang Sanzang's, word is as good as gold. If I break my promise, may I suffer the Heavenly Tribulation of thunder and fire, and never be reincarnated... Do you... dare to swear as I have said?"

Hum... Boom!

A sudden clap of thunder erupted in the sky. Tang Ku's oath had reached the ears of Heaven and was constrained by the Laws of the Universe.

Luo Hou, Ji Du, and the others opposite all took a step back. Even the eloquent Jidu Star Lord was left speechless!

Tang Ku had already sworn his oath. Did they dare?

As cultivators, even if they had already reached the Realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, once they swore an oath, they would certainly be constrained by the Heavenly Dao. If they violated the oath, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They chickened out, because they dared not swear. After all, those with guilty consciences dare not swear.

Tang Ku sneered as he looked at the grim-faced Divine-Grade powerhouses before him, as well as the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rising one after another from the ruins. As a True Buddha, Tang Ku could naturally see Karma. They were all entangled with deep-seated grudges. Although their bodies still radiated the light of immortal power, this light was dim, and they were faintly surrounded by black Qi. Clearly, this was the result of them having committed Possession of Mortals, and being entangled by their souls. Although the souls of the Mortals were fragile, they were still tenaciously entangling these demons who had killed them.

Looking at this group of people, Tang Ku sneered, "You guys are simply unworthy of being gods!"
