Jiang Yunfeng naturally also disliked Monk Golden Light. But he still didn't quite understand, Gao Xuan dragged them here, was he going to kill Golden Light?

Although this monk's actions are despicable and treacherous, killing him like this seems somewhat improper.

Of course, Jiang Yunfeng only thought this in his heart, he would never plead for Golden Light.

Gao Xuan said to Monk Golden Light, "Monk, do you know your crime?"

Monk Golden Light fell kneeling before Gao Xuan with a thud, bowing his head deeply to the ground, "Disciple knows his crime."

This kneeling greatly surprised Tao Jun, Jiang Yunfeng, and Zuo Wentao.

Monk Golden Light is a dignified Arhat of the Buddha Country, a noteworthy strong figure of Wuyuan Country. Gao Xuan just asked a question and he knelt directly. This shameless display truly disgusted the three.

"Oh, speak of your crime so we can hear."

Gao Xuan wasn't in a hurry to kill Golden Light, a clear understanding must be reached, so Monk Golden Light would die knowing.

Monk Golden Light had utterly abandoned his honor, not feeling a trace of embarrassment. Upon hearing Gao Xuan wanted him to state his crimes, instead of being angry, he was pleased.

Since Gao Xuan was willing to speak with him, it was better than being killed with one palm. Perhaps, relying on his clever tongue, he might persuade Gao Xuan.

"Disciple should not have harbored jealousy towards the Celestial Master."

Monk Golden Light, without raising his head, spoke with his head against the green jade tiles, "Disciple, as a Buddhist disciple, committed the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, thus bore malicious intent, and tasked my senior to pass a message to Golden Horn, letting Golden Horn seek revenge from the Celestial Master…"

Monk Golden Light didn't know if Gao Xuan was aware. But at this point, he dared not conceal anything.

So he laid out everything truthfully, at least showing a candid attitude.

Tao Jun, Jiang Yunfeng, and Zuo Wentao were greatly surprised. They all suspected Golden Light might be causing trouble secretly, but to actually pass information to Golden Horn was exceedingly vile. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

If not for Gao Xuan's unparalleled divine techniques, easily removing the Golden Horn Demon King, who knows how much destruction the Golden Horn Demon King would cause to Wuyuan Country.

For his own selfish desires, Monk Golden Light disregarded others entirely, utterly despicable.

The more Tao Jun and the others thought about it, the angrier they became, and their eyes turned increasingly hostile towards Monk Golden Light.

Monk Golden Light, at this moment, was unconcerned with Tao Jun and the others' thoughts, he continued, "Disciple coveted wealth and glory, seeking ways to collect treasures..."

Monk Golden Light thus knelt and spoke for a full quarter of an hour, recounting all sorts of sins he committed.

Having lived for over two thousand years, Monk Golden Light committed no few evil deeds. Of course, he couldn't possibly tell Gao Xuan everything.

Monk Golden Light picked some deeds neither severe nor trivial to explain in detail, mainly to show himself as greedy and narrow-minded, envious of the virtuous.

In short, Golden Light tried his best to portray himself as a contemptible individual.

Yet, contemptible as it may be, the sins seemed hardly of deathly consequence.

Except for, except for betraying Gao Xuan, that deed.

Monk Golden Light knew, without resolving this matter, he wouldn't survive.

Without waiting for Gao Xuan to speak, Monk Golden Light spontaneously said, "Celestial Master, disciple knows his sins are grave. Disciple realizes his mistakes, disciple is willing to change."

Monk Golden Light said, rising to lift his head, he looked up at Gao Xuan, "Disciple vows a Heart Curse Great Oath to amend his ways, use all his knowledge to aid the world, and never commit a single evil deed."

Monk Golden Light paused for a moment here then said, "If I break this vow, disciple shall eternally fall into the Abyss, never finding release across generations."

Upon hearing this vow, Tao Jun and the others were slightly touched.

Reaching the level of Spirit Immortal, all understood the Abyss is far more terrifying than Hell.

Falling into the Abyss, the Divine Soul would completely decay, forever without possibility of transcendence.

Monk Golden Light, using a Buddhist Heart Curse to make such a vicious vow, indeed showed sincerity.

But who knows how Gao Xuan will decide?

Tao Jun and the others dare not venture suggestions. Monk Golden Light was no easy opponent, and the Western Buddha Country was even tougher.

In the Cyan Celestial Realm, the Zen Forests of the Western Buddha Country were sprawling, its influence vast. Stronger than the Daoist Sect by a clear margin.

Additionally, the Daoist Sect split into countless factions, dispersed internally.

The Western Buddha Country, although divided into several factions, remained extremely united within.

Precisely because of this, the Daoist Sect, though having a number of cultivators ten times that of the Western Buddha Country, could never gain any leverage against them.

Gao Xuan could kill Monk Golden Light easily, but would provoke the Western Buddha Country. But even though Gao Xuan could kill the Golden Horn Demon King, he might not gain advantage against Cyan Celestial Realm's Buddhist Sect strong figures.

Moreover, strong figures of the Buddhist Sect were very cohesive. Provoking one meant provoking them all.

Even if Gao Xuan ascended to the Upper Celestial Realm, the powerful figures of the Western Buddha Country would not let him off...

Because the Buddhist Sect is difficult to contend with, usually, no one wishes to provoke them. Only reckless demons don't care about such matters.

Ordinarily, Tao Jun should persuade Gao Xuan, at least clarify the consequences. But they loathed Golden Light too much, no one wanted to speak for him.

Monk Golden Light spoke at length, yet Gao Xuan did not respond, this made him quite anxious. He looked for help towards Tao Jun and the others, but they all lowered their eyes, pretending not to see.

This silence alone could exert enormous pressure on a person.

Unable to bear it, Monk Golden Light added, "Disciple has traveled extensively, possessing considerable wealth. Disciple is willing to offer all treasures to the Celestial Master."

"Oh, tell me about the treasures you have." Gao Xuan was indeed quite interested in these.

"So, he also has a greed for wealth..."

Monk Golden Light silently cursed, yet his face appeared increasingly respectful, drawing out several precious items from his sleeve.

"Xuan Guang Mirror, Vajra Relic, Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, Primordial Magnetic Divine Thunder Pill..."
