"This humble monk has just received news that Marquis Wu'an, for personal grievances, disregarded the law and massacred all the monks of the Bright Temple. I ask Your Majesty to punish Marquis Wu'an."
The plea for help from Miao Jue and the news of the destruction of the Bright Temple reached his ears almost simultaneously, leaving him no time to meet with Great Governor Xiao Jing of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau!
Chen Yuan serves as the Heavenly Divine Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, governing the Three Southern States with immense power. However, his power formally falls under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Thus, originally, he intended to leverage Xiao Jing's authority to suppress Chen Yuan's murderous intent.
Yao Xin's death was inevitable, as he had voluntarily resolved the cause and effect himself, and could not blame others. However, Bright Temple was presently the strongest foothold of the Buddhist faction in the South and could not be lost.
