Mencius was taken aback, evidently not expecting Lin Heng to agree so readily.
He didn't even need to consult with the ministers of the Celestial Court.
He took a deep breath, respectfully clasped his hands, and said, "Meng Ke will not let the Celestial Venerable down!"
...
The news of Mencius, the Sub-Saint of the Confucian School, joining the Daoist Celestial Court, quickly spread across the Five Great Immortal Realms.
It caused an uproar.
"Even after the Saint Tathagata of the Western Heaven has regained control of the Buddha Country, Mencius dares to side with Daoism at this time?"
"Is he crazy?"
Many people were puzzled.
It must be understood that the Daoist Celestial Court has already been rejected by the Heavenly Dao.
First, Venerable Emperor Chong'en took action, and now an enemy of the Buddha Country's saints has returned.
Logically speaking.
At this moment, the beings within the Celestial Court should be breaking away in droves.
