Chapter 484: Chapter 353: Guanyin’s Great Battle with Taichu Dao Court!—2

Without any twists or turns, they flew directly over Longevity Mountain and continued non-stop towards the Nanshan Continent.

At the moment Monkey King flew past.

Guanyin, the Five Hundred Honored Ones, and the Eighteen Arhats also arrived in the sky above Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

When she saw Monkey King not taking any detour but flying directly over

Longevity Mountain, she followed him without hesitation.

“Chase!”

However.

-You lot act so boldly, how dare you fly directly over my sacred grounds?”

A Taoist clad in a yin-yang Daoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk and exuding an immortal aura, stood in front of Guanyin and the assembled Buddhists.

At this moment.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan stared coldly at Guanyin and those with her.

He would have let Monkey King go earlier, as he was heading to support young friend Xuanqing after all. Although it was uncomfortable to have someone fly directly over his sacred grounds, he decided not to pursue the matter considering the urgency and Xuanqing’s connection.

But what did Guanyin and her people mean?

Without even a greeting, they led so many eminent Buddhist figures and Arhats straight across his Longevity Mountain.

Such arrogance, what did they think his sacred grounds were, and did they even consider him, the Earth Immortal Master, in their eyes?

At this moment.

Seeing Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the master of Longevity Mountain, blocking their path,

Guanyin reluctantly took a step forward and briefly explained:

“Master Zhenyuan, Tang Xuanzang has betrayed our Buddhist sect and fled.

May we pass through your territory?”

Hearing that.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan glanced curiously at Guanyin and replied indifferently, “So that’s how it is. Guanyin, you and I are both at the threshold of becoming a saint. Breaking the space in either of our grasps…”

-Why didn’t you directly pass through the space? Are you playing games with that impudent monkey?”

In the face of such words.

Guanyin’s face turned ugly as she gritted her teeth and said, “That impudent monkey, in order to protect Tang Xuanzang, exploded his merit inside the Golden Cudgel, binding me with causality. I am temporarily unable to grasp the laws of space!”

Upon hearing this.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan suddenly realized.

No wonder he had just seen Monkey King with his battered Golden Cudgel, so damaged that it had even broken down to barely half its length. It turned out that he had exploded its inner energy and merit.

“In that case, Guanyin, you and your people should go around!” Great Immortal Zhenyuan lightly bowed his hands and said indifferently.

Since the original script changed and Guanyin didn’t help the Ginseng Fruit Tree to survive its tribulation, Great Immortal Zhenyuan didn’t have the slightest courtesy for Guanyin.

After aU, Great Immortal Zhenyuan knew very well that Guanyin had often caused trouble for his close friend Xuanqing. Given the relationship between Zhenyuan and Xuanqing, doing superficial tasks like exchanging pleasantries was already pushing the limits.

“Whew well- We’ll take our leave!”

Guanyin did not rebuke, but just took a deep look at him before waving her hand to the Arhats and Honored Ones behind her.

At the next moment.

The huge Buddhist army marched around Longevity Mountain, chasing in the direction where Monkey King had escaped.

However, they all knew in their hearts that they wouldn’t be able to catch up to Monkey King since they’d been delayed by Great Immortal Zhenyuan just now.

It should be noted.

The Somersault Cloud, as a magical power specifically designed for traveling, was not inferior to the Transverse Earth Golden Light in the 36 Heavenly Gangs. And with Monkey King’s extraordinary talent, he could push the Somersault Cloud to an even greater extent.

Under such circumstances, even Guanyin might not necessarily catch up unless she used spatial laws to traverse.

In Longevity Mountain.

The commotion caused by the Buddhist group was immense, alarming all the disciples. After the Buddhists left, they gathered around Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

“Master, what happened?” As the most favored Qingfeng and Mingyue, they took the initiative to inquire.

All the disciples pricked up their ears.

“Tang Xuanzang betrayed the Buddhists and fled with Monkey King to the Black Wind Country to join the Master of the Primordial Beginning!” Great immortal Zhenyuan said in a gloomy tone, unable to help murmuring in a low voice.

“A busy season…a busy season…”

“Hiss-”

The disciples of Longevity Mountain, upon hearing their master’s words, all gasped in a cold breath.

As members of the Wuzhuang Temple of Longevity Mountain, they naturally had heard about the calamity of the Western Journey of the Buddhists and knew that Tang Xuanzang was the absolute protagonist of this calamity, followed by Monkey King.

Now things had taken a turn, as Tang Xuanzang had taken Monkey King with him to betray the Buddhists, leaving the remaining members of the pilgrimage team to belong to other forces.

Bai Longma was from the dragon clan, who was later taken away by the Master of the Primordial Beginning, along with the fact that the West Sea had joined the Black Wind Country. So, Bai Longma was essentially a member of the Primordial Beginning’s Daoist sect.

As for Zhu Bajie, he was Master Xuandu’s top disciple, wielding the Nine-Tooth Rake, personally crafted by Taishang Laojun.

As for Sand Wujing… he was General Juanlian in his previous life, a high official responsible for the Jade Emperor’s travel arrangements, akin to a driver, and was one of the Jade Emperor’s confidants.

“Oh my, I bet the Buddhists are going crazy!”

“This isn’t just madness; earlier, Guanyin even wanted to fly over our heads!”

“Tsk tsk, the Three Realms will be bustling now.”

The disciples went into an uproar.

Seeing this,

Great Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head and scolded the gossiping disciples, “Have all of you made progress in your cultivation? Stop chattering and go practice quickly!”

Immediately,

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts!

At the border between Nanshan Continent and the Western Niuzha Continent.

Black Wind Country, Border Sand City.

All the high-ranking members of the Taichu Daoist Court gathered here.

Their expressions were extremely serious.

It was because outside the border in the sky, there were hundreds of illustrious golden figures standing on Buddhist clouds, revered Arhats.

At the forefront… was the greatly compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, clad in a white robe, with a sacred and dignified face, standing on a lotus platform, and holding a bamboo basket, her reputation known throughout the Three Realms!

“Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, hand over Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King! Do you Taichu Daoist Court wish to wage war with the Buddhist sect?”

Guanyin’s voice was cold, and the bamboo basket in her hand emitted a faint radiance, as if the next moment, she would summon treasures and take action. Behind her, five hundred Honored Ones and the Eighteen Arhats released their own auras, pressing down on the Taichu Daoist Court’s people in Sand City.

At this moment,

On the city wall of the Border Sand City.

Facing Guanyin, the late-stage quasi-saint, and the imposing aura of the Eighteen Arhats at the very least in the Honored realm, Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, Qingwan, Bai Ling’er, and others trembled slightly, their faces turning pale.

By their side were the unconscious Monkey King and the guilt-ridden Tang Xuanzang.

“Fellow Daoists, how… What did I, Jiang Liu’er, do to deserve this?”

Tang Xuanzang’s eyes were somewhat moist, and looking at the unconscious Monkey King beside him, he said with a low voice:

“The Buddhist sect just wants my body and soul, just let me leave, and hand me over to them.”

However,

Gentleman Bai She shook his head and said solemnly, “The Master has instructed us that if one day you betray the Buddhist sect and join the Black Wind, we must protect you!”

Hearing this,

Tang Xuanzang was stunned and couldn’t help but look in the distance at the towering Black Wind Sacred Mountain that seemed to reach the clouds. Shock filled his eyes.

So… So the Master of the Primordial Beginning had already foreseen this day for me?

“Sigh!” Tang Xuanzang could only take a deep breath and closed his eyes, no longer speaking.

Meanwhile,

In the sky outside the city,

Guanyin was furious after witnessing that no one from the Taichu Daoist Court had responded to her words or flexing authority.

Is she, the greatly compassionate and merciful Guanyin, to be treated like mud?

With this thought,

She decided to take action.

However,

Before doing so, her gaze unconsciously looked towards the void as if someone important was there and needed their permission.

The next moment,

Guanyin seemed to have received a response and immediately waved her hand, no longer hesitating. She sternly ordered the Honored Ones and Arhats behind her:

“Strike!”

In an instant,

The wind and clouds changed.

The previously pitch-black night sky was illuminated by the boundless golden light, like countless suns hanging above.

As the people of the Buddhist sect took action,

In the city,

Starting with Gentleman Bai She and the four sacred beasts used to suppress the Qi Luck of the Taichu Daoist Court, they all deployed defensive measures i unison..
