Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 542: Jiang Liu: I Want to Break Off Relations with Him!

Jiang Liu and his companions walked out of the great hall and indeed saw the figure of Tathagata.

Equipment: …

"Another level 100 being!" Jiang Liu internally marveled at the level information of Randeng Buddha.

In terms of level, this Randeng Buddha, like the previously encountered Demon Master Kunpeng, was among the highest level beings Jiang Liu had seen, both having reached the max level of 100.

Given that Randeng Buddha had such a high level, upon reflection, Jiang Liu found it within the bounds of reason.

After all, who was Randeng Buddha? He was formerly a Listener in the Zixiao Palace, and even during Ancient Times, served as the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Interpretation Sect.

Such status was indeed extraordinary.

"This humble monk pays respects to Ancient Randeng Buddha..."

Although he gave Tathagata due respect, Randeng Buddha merely stood behind him; however, whilst Wutian Buddha spoke, he bowed, not to Tathagata, but to Randeng Buddha alone.

"Amitabha, Gandharva Bodhisattva, it has been a long time!" Randeng Buddha's face seemed to carry many sighs and sentiments as he softly chanted a Buddhist invocation, seeing Wutian Buddha's demeanor.

"This humble monk is now known as Wutian! I am no longer called Gandharva..."

Hearing Randeng Buddha's words, Wutian corrected him, emphasizing his identity and firmly clarifying his stance.

Wutian's statement left Randeng Buddha silent, with no further reply.

After having greeted Randeng Buddha, who stood behind Tathagata, Wutian's attention finally turned to Tathagata himself. His face bore no trace of respect as he bluntly said, "Tathagata, I knew you would come, but I didn't expect you to bring Randeng Buddha along!"

"Amitabha..."

Hearing Wutian Buddha's words, Tathagata had yet to speak when the merry Maitreya Buddha's expression stiffened slightly, his face turning somewhat unsightly.

What the devil? Am I not one of the Three-World Buddhas? Wutian greeting Randeng Buddha first was something I could understand, and him addressing Tathagata was also acceptable to me.

But Wutian's words completely ignored me? Mentioning only Randeng and not me?

Putting aside Maitreya Buddha's thoughts for a moment, following Wutian's declaration, Tathagata's gaze swept over Jiang Liu and the others. Seeing that none of them were harmed, he let out a sigh of relief before turning back to Wutian.

"Wutian, since you were aware of my arrival and that I have come with Randeng and Maitreya, we wish to take Xuanzang and his group away!" There was no need for idle chatter or pleasantries between Tathagata and Wutian; Tathagata was straightforward in revealing his intentions.

"Hahahaha, Tathagata Buddha? You indeed have quite the audacity!"

However, upon hearing Tathagata's statement, Wutian erupted into laughter, speaking mockingly, "But no matter how significant you, Tathagata, believe yourself to be, in my Demon Realm, your reputation carries no weight. The people are in my hands; do you think I should just hand them over because you say so?"

"Amitabha, we are aware of your profound and unfathomable cultivation level, but we three have come together in good faith and I urge you to carefully consider!" Tathagata's voice deepened a bit.

Although he spoke of true sincerity, the message carried an undeniable threat.

The Three-World Buddhas fully represented the will of the entire Buddhist Sect and their joint visit was not merely about their individual strength but also reflected the unity of Buddhism's entire influence.

"Sincerity?"

Wutian offered no answer to Tathagata's words, yet from the horizon, a domineering voice echoed, and soon after, a figure became faintly visible in the sky.

"The coalition of the Three-World Buddhas in the Demon Realm truly shows great sincerity, but naturally, the Demon Realm has its own way of hosting guests. Wutian, by receiving the Three-World Buddhas alone, are you not disregarding me?"

This figure, appearing obscurely in the sky, did not reveal itself fully, but with his arrival, the entire space felt as if it were contorting, creating an eerily bizarre sensation.

While ostensibly chiding Wutian, the newcomer also made clear where his allegiance lay—he was on Wutian's side.

Although the powers of the Demon Realm seemed fragmented like a multitude of feuding states, when faced with the arrival of the Three-World Buddhas, they naturally needed to unite their forces to counter them.

"Quite right..." In the wake of this new appearance, another huge entity appeared in the sky, seemingly suppressing the entire firmament. Amidst peals of thunder revealing glimpses of its form, a reverberating authoritative voice arose, "I had long sensed the Three-World Buddhas' visit to the Demon Realm. How could I, in good conscience, not offer the hospitality due?"

"Who are these two big shots?" Jiang Liu murmured to himself as he looked at the figures in the Demon Realm's sky that twisted space itself, and the dragon that occasionally revealed part of its scales and claws.

Clearly, these two figures that appeared out of nowhere both had the cultivation level of Quasi-Saints; otherwise, they would have had no right to chime into the conversation.

But apart from Wutian Buddha, what other big shots in the Demon Realm had the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint?

He seemed to have no clues at all.

Leaving aside what Jiang Liu was thinking, at that time, the Three-World Buddha and the three Quasi-Saints of the Demon Realm were conversing. Such a display of power shook the three realms and six paths.

Six Quasi-Saints had gathered together, and it was very likely that they would take action.

This move naturally attracted the attention of countless big shots.

Watching the two figures that appeared in the sky, the expressions of Tathagata and the others also became more serious.

However, even though they were serious, they did not feel surprised.

After all, if other supreme beings of the Demon Realm didn't react to the arrival of three Quasi-Saints, that would be impossible.

"Amitābha, Wutian..."

Although two Quasi-Saints had appeared and were implicitly supporting Wutian, the main focus remained on Wutian himself. Tathagata's gaze fell upon him and he said, "We are here to receive our Buddhist Disciple and take him away. The importance of the Journey to the West to our Buddhist Sect is well-known to all! I hope you will not persist in your delusion!"

"What if I just refuse?" Wutian stared directly at Tathagata, showing not the slightest hint of retreat, and answered calmly.

"If so, next time, it will not be just us three coming here, but the entire Buddhist Sect will mobilize!" Tathagata replied.

At these words, the figures in the clouds paused slightly.

Tathagata's words showed an unprecedented level of determination; he was willing to risk even a war between Buddha and Demon for this cause.

"Very well..."

Wutian Buddha's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was no fear on his face as he said, "I too would like to see just how much power the current Buddhist Sect holds. If you are willing to come out in full force, we are even more ready to wait at our leisure!"

The words of Wutian Buddha were still calm, but his brief response filled countless people with shock!

So resolute!

This was too sturdy!

To face the scenario Tathagata described, of the entire Buddhist Sect coming out, he didn't show the slightest weakness?

"Awesome, that's the way to do it!"

Putting aside what the many big shots thought of Wutian's domineering response, Jiang Liu, who was nearby, silently gave Wutian his approval.

Indeed, this was a big shot who walked the talk.

The Three-World Buddha has arrived!? Not intimidated!

The entire Buddhist Sect mobilizing!? Not intimidated!

Said to keep him for three hundred years, and he will keep him for three hundred years!

What a good person!

Nothing like Master Zhenyuan, who was all talk and no action!

It must be said, Wutian's resolute response completely exceeded everyone's expectations, and even Tathagata was slightly taken aback.

"Amitābha..."

At that moment, Randeng, who hadn't said much and allowed Tathagata to speak, suddenly stepped forward and said, taking a few steps forward.

"Wutian, in the rules of the Demon Realm, strength is respected. Today, how about we proceed according to your Demon Realm's rules?" Randeng Buddha's gaze fell on Wutian.

"Does Ancient Randeng Buddha intend to fight with this young monk?" Wutian's gaze, heavy, focused on Randeng.

Facing Tathagata, Wutian had some confidence.

But facing Randeng, Wutian felt even less sure.

"A level 100 blue UI versus a level 99 golden UI? Between these two, who is stronger, who is weaker?" Upon hearing that Randeng Buddha intended to take action against Wutian, Jiang Liu was inwardly surprised.

It seemed like either could win? The odds were even?

Unending fortune and blessings!

However, before they could agree on the terms of combat, another voice rose from the void.

Suddenly, the figure of Master Zhenyuan emerged from the emptiness, standing beside Tathagata and the others, clearly allying with them.

Without hurry to greet Wutian, Master Zhenyuan's gaze fell on Jiang Liu: "Younger Sworn Brother, I've come to take you home!"

As sworn brothers, Master Zhenyuan's personal intervention to save someone demonstrated his utmost righteousness and loyalty.

With the sudden appearance of Master Zhenyuan, the various powers stirred again, clearly surprised that Master Zhenyuan had actually gotten involved in this conflict between Buddha and Demon.

But thinking about it, considering that Master Zhenyuan and Xuanzang were sworn brothers, him showing up seemed to make sense, didn't it?

Yet, the corner of Jiang Liu's mouth twitched.

If possible, he thought he would like to sever ties with this sworn brother.

He thought he was coming to save himself, but in reality, wasn't this stabbing him in the back...
