The Kunpeng Demon Master halted in his steps, speaking gravely, "Emperor Haotian, what brings you here?"
The Buddha gathered himself and quickly brought his hands together in prayer, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Emperor Haotian, for the rescue." His heart was deeply moved! Never did he expect his savior to be Emperor Haotian himself. He was truly touched, so much so that he decided, once Buddhism flourished, he would still leave a sliver of survival space for the Heavenly Court to repay today's kindness.
Emperor Haotian chuckled, "Buddha, don't be in a hurry to thank me."
Looking toward the Kunpeng Demon Master, he said, "Fellow Daoist, you've had your fight and let off some steam. How about handing this person over to me first?"
"Give me a reason!" the Kunpeng Demon Master calmly looked at Emperor Haotian, truly not wishing to clash with this Emperor Haotian if it wasn't necessary.
