Chapter 731: Chapter 731

Ming He Sect Master nodded to Bai Jin with a smile, having vented all his anger, and knowing that killing Duo Bao outright was not truly an option, now was a perfect moment to stop.

Bai Jin is really finding a way out for me! How thoughtful of him. It’s great to have such a disciple, but why haven’t we recognized each other before?

Bai Jin also showed Ming He Sect Master a genuine, kind smile, baring a row of pure white teeth.

A great golden Buddha light flashed, shrinking into Duo Bao Tathagata, now with a swollen face and a blackened eye, looking very disheveled.

Tathagata Buddha touched his eye, hissing in pain and feeling a surge of rage in his heart. Did they think of the bigger picture or anxiety? This was a plot he orchestrated behind the scenes, deliberately pitting my Buddhism against the Blood Sea, that Bai Jin is really wicked.

Lord Lao Zi chuckled and asked, "Duo Bao Tathagata, what do you think?"

What can I think? I can only choose to end it, otherwise, I’ll get beaten up.

Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Duo Bao respectfully said, "It’s better to channel than to block. All things must conclude. Please, Eldest Uncle, be the judge and decide."

Lord Lao Zi stroked his beard, still beaming. "Well said, let’s head to Cuiyun Mountain!"

Ming He Sect Master also nodded in agreement, starting from Cuiyun Mountain and ending at Cuiyun Mountain too. What? Jilei Mountain? What does Jilei Mountain have to do with my Blood Sea lineage?

Bai Jin quickly said, "With Eldest Uncle presiding, happiness is sure to follow, bringing blessings to the Three Realms.

Since we’ve reached Chaos, I would like to take the chance to visit my Master and Eldest Uncle; I ask for Eldest Uncle’s understanding."

Lord Lao Zi nodded with a smile, "Go ahead! I’ll take care of things here."

The Blood Sea descended, igniting the wars within and beyond the Three Realms, sending murderous intent straight to Dou Niu. The Gods of Heavenly Court circulated the laws of Heaven and Earth to dissipate the malevolence and prevent harm to mortals.

The battle lasted for three days and nights. After three days, with a thunderous blast, a hole opened in the sky above Jilei Mountain, and three figures emerged.

The pristine Blood Sea Asura, Ming He Sect Master with a swollen face; a bruised and smiling Lord Lao Zi riding the Big Horned Bull.

On the now extinguished Flame Mountain, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing were still engrossed in playing cards, but the commotion at Cuiyun Mountain startled them, and they jumped to their feet.

Sun Wukong exclaimed, "Lord Lao Zi, Tathagata Buddha, and who’s the other one?"

Sha Wujing shook his head, "I don’t know him."

Zhu Bajie chuckled and explained, "Eldest brother, he’s the Lord of Blood Sea, also Princess Iron Fan’s father."

"So, was that ferocious Blood Sea his doing?"

"Definitely not by his direct involvement; it was his underlings, the Asuras, who stirred it up." Read complete versıon only at novel-fire.ɴet

Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie, amazed at his knowledge, truly deserving of someone who mingled in Heavenly Court. After obtaining the scriptures, I should also spend more time in Heavenly Court to inquire about the intricacies of the Three Realms and Primordial World.

Sun Wukong pondered, "Then, isn’t he very powerful?"

Zhu Bajie grinned, "Brother, didn’t you see the Buddha getting thrashed?"

Only then did Sun Wukong notice that Tathagata Buddha was still bruised, his face puffy and swollen.

Above the clouds, Ming He Sect Master calmly said, "Lord Lao Zi, we have now reached Cuiyun Mountain. Do you have any further instructions?"

Lord Lao Zi stroked his beard and said, "One of you is the Lord of Blood Sea, an Innate Demon God, and the other is the Sect Leader governing the world, to fight openly in the Chaos truly belies your status. Perhaps it’s best each of you take your disciples and disperse."

Ming He Sect Master snorted, looking towards The Buddha and said discontentedly, "Brother Master, I live reclusively in the midst of the Blood Sea, rarely interfering in the affairs of the Primordial World. My Blood Sea lineage seldom stirs troubles.

Yet there are those who deem us an easy target, forcefully suppressing my successors, truly thinking my Yuan Tu and Avici Dual Swords ineffective?

I can lead the Asura Clan to retreat, but I demand Buddhism to publicly apologize to my poor daughter."

Lord Lao Zi looked towards The Buddha helplessly and said, "That was indeed your mistake."

Duo Bao Tathagata pressed palms together in prayer, said with grief and indignation, "Lord Lao Zi, the Seven Saints were meant to journey westward as ordained by Heavenly Dao. However, influenced by others, Bull Demon King and his wife abducted Tang Sanzang. My Buddhist disciples tried multiple times to retrieve him, but they refused to return him, leading to their suppression, all in favor of the greater good of Heaven and Earth."

"Nonsense! My Yu Luocha has always been virtuous and intelligent, never seeking to cause karma. Not to mention a mere Tang Sanzang, even an Innate Treasure placed before her would not tempt her if it isn’t meant for her."

"Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan have both admitted it, how could it be false?"

"Since they’ve admitted, where is Tang Sanzang now?" Ming He Sect Master coldly stared at The Buddha.

Unable to hold back his anger, The Buddha shouted, "Ming He Sect Master, I shall retrieve Tang Sanzang now, and then see what you have to say!"

In the hands of The Buddha appeared a Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus, into which a whiff of Tang Sanzang’s Qi entered. The Buddha alone could not pinpoint Tang Sanzang’s location, but the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus, being a Saint’s Treasure and a fortune treasure of Buddhism, could locate him as long as he was within the Three Realms.

The Buddha tossed the Golden Lotus, which broke through the sky instantly.

All the Heavenly Gods watched attentively towards Cuiyun Mountain, as The Buddha accused the Blood Sea Princess of abducting Tang Sanzang, while Ming He Sect Master explicitly called The Buddha’s statements utter nonsense. An event that could shift the dynamics of the Three Realms was unraveling.

In the Five Elements Forbidden Zone, Kong Yi, Red Boy, and Tang Sanzang sat on a snowy mountain, amidst heavy snowfall.

In the gap between the seated trio, Earth Fire spurted outward, on which a hotpot bubbled and boiled, the three of them enjoying a meal.

"Burp~" Tang Sanzang, in an open fur coat and sweating profusely said, "It’s so hot! Princess, what kind of hotpot is this? It feels like there is a fire burning inside me."

"A Vermilion Fruit Hotpot."

Red Boy, putting down his chopsticks in dissatisfaction, said, "Little Yi, send this monk away! He’s interfering with our time together, and look he’s even getting fat."

Tang Sanzang touched his belly fat, seemingly noticing his weight gain. Sigh~I’ve been indulging too much recently!

Boom~ A thunderclap echoed in the sky, followed by constant colorful lights, a protective barrier emerged.

Kong Yi, Red Boy, and Tang Sanzang all looked upwards.

Bang~ The colorful protective barrier shattered, Infinite Golden Light shone down, and a spinning Golden Lotus emerged. Within the Golden Light, Kong Yi, Red Boy, and Tang Sanzang screamed as they were lifted into the air.

"Who dares to ambush me, my father is the Bull Demon King."

"Amitabha Venerable, save us!"

The three figures, waving their hands, all entered the Golden Lotus, which turned and disappeared into the void.

At Jilei Mountain, The Buddha was somewhat dazed, his face twitching, feeling a pang of pain and immense frustration. Isn’t it preached that Buddhism would thrive? Why has it come to this? This time he must... must make Ming He Sect Master apologize.
