As long as these ascetic monks have not been wiped out, the Buddhist Sect will never disappear.
And as for these individuals, the Jade Emperor had no effective method to deal with them, but now with Mara taking the brunt, it had nothing to do with the Heavenly Court.
After all, compared to others in the Buddhist Sect, these ascetic monks lacked such grand ambition, their days focused on how to comprehend Buddhist Law, and generally, they would not retaliate unless provoked.
"Let's not bother with them anymore," the Jade Emperor set the tone, "let Mara handle them properly."
After this turn of events, the Buddhist Sect was greatly weakened, especially at the middle and lower tiers, suffering severe losses. It would not be easy for the Buddhist Sect to recover its vitality.
Moreover, with a Demon King like Mara watching hungrily from the sidelines, the pressure on the Heavenly Court was greatly reduced, freeing the Jade Emperor to deal with Luzhou in the North.
