Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 510: Snatching the Golden Lotus

At this moment, Sun Wukong indeed felt somewhat awkward.

He had long been accustomed to summoning local deities to inquire about nearby demon creatures, so when he learned that his master might have been captured by a demon, Sun Wukong summoned the local deity to gather information about the surrounding demons.

Unexpectedly, the answer he received was this.

Right? Although these six demons of the Wood Immortal Hermitage were merely little demons in his eyes, by the standards of the mortal world, their strength was considered quite impressive.

And the gathering of six of them indeed constituted a significant force. Within a thousand-li radius, there were no other demon forces stronger than them, which seemed reasonable within the circumstances.

This made Sun Wukong feel a bit troubled; if the six demons of the Wood Immortal Hermitage were the strongest demon force within a thousand-li radius, then from where did a demon dare to come directly to the hermitage and abduct his master?

It's embarrassing, lately I've really been losing face left and right!

Protecting my master is, after all, my duty, but in these recent days, I've made errors time and again.

Even Xiaobai died once while protecting the master!

Just as Sun Wukong was silently fretting, suddenly, a dazzling Buddhist light appeared in the sky.

Then, the form of Bodhisattva Guanyin, seated upon the lotus platform, once again descended to Thistle Ridge from above.

"Greetings, Bodhisattva!"

Upon seeing Bodhisattva Guanyin descending, many disciples greeted her, especially the six demons of the Wood Immortal Hermitage, who knelt down and trembled.

For these little demon kings, an existence like Bodhisattva Guanyin was surely a formidable one—a being who could effortlessly destroy them all!

"Bodhisattva, have you come here for a reason?" Compared to others, Sun Wukong didn't have quite as much respect for Bodhisattva Guanyin, hopping beside her and asking.

"You rascal monkey, your master is missing again, right? And yet you come to ask me what the matter is?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Sun Wukong, shaking her head as she spoke.

"Well, I, Old Sun, was momentarily inattentive. I dare to ask, Bodhisattva, since you know my master has disappeared, please guide me on where I should search for him!" Scratching his head, Sun Wukong felt somewhat embarrassed, and at the same time, he asked Bodhisattva Guanyin.

"You..."

Shaking her head slightly, with an attitude of wanting to chide but not willing to scold Sun Wukong further, Bodhisattva Guanyin then said, "Travel about five hundred li north from here and you shall find your master."

"In that case, my thanks to the Bodhisattva!" Hearing the whereabouts of his master, Sun Wukong bowed with a fist and palm salute, and in the next instant, leapt up, turning into a streak of light, heading north.

A mere five hundred li was not too far for Sun Wukong; naturally, he arrived in the blink of an eye.

His eyes radiating golden light, Sun Wukong surveyed the area and quickly found his master's location…

...

Jiang Liu and Tingdi sat opposite each other, both perched on the edge of a cliff.

What needed to be said had been said, and what questions needed to be asked were asked, putting Jiang Liu's heart at ease somewhat.

Although his secrets had been discovered by the other, which was indeed troublesome, there currently seemed to be no danger, which might be considered fortunate amidst misfortune.

Finally, Jiang Liu once again addressed Tingdi, asking, "Then, why did you suddenly capture me and bring me here?"

At this point, Jiang Liu paused and said, "Logically speaking, if we were to form a united front, shouldn't you have helped me? By seizing me like this, aren't you just resolving a calamity on behalf of Bodhisattva Guanyin?"

"I am helping you!" Tingdi responded to Jiang Liu's inquiry.

"Helping me?"

Jiang Liu's eyebrows raised slightly and said, "I really don't see it. How does your current action count as helping me?"

"Everything I've done is for..." Jiang Liu didn't understand, and just as Tingdi opened his mouth to explain,

he suddenly turned his head and looked toward the horizon.

"Alright, Master Xuanzang, let's leave our conversation there for today. Your disciple has come to rescue you!" Gazing toward the horizon, Tingdi then stood and spoke.

Following Tingdi's gaze, indeed, Jiang Liu also saw a streak of light, which appeared instantly.

Subsequently, Sun Wukong lunged directly towards Tingdi, while his Ruyi Golden Cudgel was also raised, striking down decisively.

"Take that, you evil demon! How dare you lay your hands on my master! Today I, Old Sun, will crush you into dust!" Sun Wukong, feeling self-conscious about his embarrassment, took immediate action without any banter. He shouted loudly, without any intention of holding back, as the golden cudgel struck down towards Tingdi.

Tingdi's cultivation level was not weak, with Level 80's blue UI, which was also the realm of the peak of Taiyi True Immortals.

However, facing Sun Wukong's fierce attack, Tingdi was certainly no match, forced to retreat step by step under the pressure.

Sun Wukong, of course, pressed on with his attack, wielding the iron rod with each move stronger than the last.

Jiang Liu at the side pondered for a moment.

```

Logically, Tingdi and Ksitigarbha should somewhat be on the same side as me, and I ought to have asked Sun Wukong to stop.

However, since this relationship couldn't be made public, Jiang Liu didn't speak up.

Moreover, after some thought, Jiang Liu felt he should actually join in to help Sun Wukong; otherwise, it just wouldn't be right!

With a thought, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the Colored Glaze Staff appeared as he said, "Wukong, let me lend you a hand!"

"Sorry, Tingdi, but today I'm going to secretly farm some of your Experience Points!" Jiang Liu thought to himself. At the same time, he raised his hand and cast the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and the Strengthening Body-Protection Spell, both Buffs, onto Sun Wukong.

Already with a high Cultivation Level and a UI one level higher, Sun Wukong had been pressing down on Tingdi. Now, with the effect of Jiang Liu's Buffs, Sun Wukong had an even more overwhelming advantage.

With the Jingu Bang in his hand, mighty and powerful, Tingdi couldn't fend off the attacks, as every strike made him stagger backward.

"Not bad, your cultivation level isn't too shabby. But I, Old Sun, don't believe you can withstand this strike!" Despite overpowering Tingdi, Sun Wukong hadn't actually caused him any real harm, which irked him, prompting him to shout out.

A strange glow began to flicker on Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop.

Originally, after applying the Twin Essence Oil, the tips of Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop Rod had turned red and blue.

But now, the blue end had also turned red, making the rod appear even more aggressive.

With the effect of the Twin Essence Oil, all Attack Power and Defense could be completely swapped. At this moment, Sun Wukong had abandoned all his Defense and converted it into Attack Power.

Hoisting the Ruyi Golden Cudgel high, Sun Wukong's next strike was infused with an indescribable might as he ruthlessly smashed it down on Tingdi.

This move showcased the formidable strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"This is bad!" Feeling the terrifying power behind Sun Wukong's strike, Tingdi's face turned pale with horror.

All of a sudden, the force within Sun Wukong's strike seemed to have doubled. How could it be withstood?

Shocked, Tingdi raised his hand, and immediately, a golden lotus appeared.

This Golden Lotus floated directly above Tingdi's head and turned into a golden light, tightly enveloping him within.

With a loud thud, Sun Wukong's strike landed fiercely on the golden light, causing ripples on the light screen.

But he was unable to shatter the golden radiance.

"What is this thing? How is it so tough!?" Staring at the Golden Lotus above Tingdi's head, Sun Wukong's eyes widened in disbelief.

That last strike, Sun Wukong knew, was his strongest attack. He had turned all his defense into attack, but still, it failed to break through!?

"Merit Golden Lotus! As expected of a Divine Level Treasure, amazing!"

Having just seen Sun Wukong use the effect of the Twin Essence Oil for the attack, Jiang Liu had realized it as well, but even so, he couldn't break through the defense of the Merit Golden Lotus, causing him to feel inwardly shocked.

"Is this turtle shell so hard? Can I, Old Sun, really not get through?!" Frowning, although surprised inwardly, Sun Wukong remained unresigned and once again raised his Golden Hoop, assaulting Tingdi with a barrage of blows like a tempest.

Yet, facing Sun Wukong's assault, Tingdi still continued to maintain his defense.

If Sun Wukong's barrage of rod shadows resembled a tsunami, then the defense of the Merit Golden Lotus was like a rock.

No matter how the waves raged, it remained steadfast and immovable.

Half an hour passed in this battle.

Under Sun Wukong's relentless attacks, Tingdi dared not retract the defense of the Merit Golden Lotus and could only maintain it for self-preservation.

And Sun Wukong? He had a stifled anger in his heart and was determined to break through this defense.

So, for a full half hour, despite using all sorts of Divine Skills, he couldn't breach the defense of the Merit Golden Lotus.

"No good, I've got to find a way!" Jiang Liu had been observing quietly for half an hour and, watching this scene unfold, murmured contemplatively to himself.

The Merit Golden Lotus was indeed a treasure, all the more so because it shared the same origin as his own Black Lotus!

If he could snatched it, he happened to have a roll of Universal Adhesive Tape at hand...

But with the defense of the Merit Golden Lotus being this strong, how could he take it for himself?

This doesn't seem to be a problem, does it?

With a thought, Jiang Liu pointed his finger lightly toward Tingdi.

At the same time, he whispered in his heart: Silencing Zen!

As the Silencing Zen Skill was activated, it was cast onto Tingdi who instantly felt the strength within his body become stagnant, unable to be mobilized.

Naturally, he then lost the ability to summon the defense of the Merit Golden Lotus.
