725 -725: The Holy Monk is Too Selfless
Big Boss!
Upon hearing the news gathered by Master Leizhen, both Erlang God and Nezha involuntarily exclaimed in their hearts.
To be so superior even to the Tathagata?
Indeed, the master of the Great Nirvana Temple, Wutian Buddha, is a big boss.
In addition to being secretly astonished, Nezha was also hit by a wave of relief.
It was fortunate that the Holy Monk had stopped him earlier; otherwise, if he had rushed in rashly, wouldn’t that have been courting death?
“Brother Yang Jian, Brother Leizhen, we are not capable of dealing with the people from the Great Nirvana Temple.
I think we should give up on retrieving the Fire Tip Spear,” Nezha said, deciding to let it go.
Having truly realized Wutian Buddha’s fearsomeness, Nezha proposed giving up, as he felt uneasy about endangering the Holy Monk and others for the sake of the Fire Tip Spear.
“No, I think giving up now is a bit premature…” However, before Erlang God and others could respond, Jiang Liu hurriedly shook his head in disagreement.
He had made so much effort to bring them here; how could he just give up like that?
Wouldn’t that be a waste?
“Oh?
Holy Monk, do you have any objections?” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Erlang God glanced at him and asked.
“Think about it, with Wutian Buddha being so powerful, why would he covet the Crown Prince’s Fire Tip Spear?
Most likely, the one who stole the Crown Prince’s Fire Tip Spear belongs to someone else in the Great Nirvana Temple!” Jiang Liu analyzed.
“Hmm, that sounds right!” Nezha nodded in agreement to Jiang Liu’s words.
Yet, at this point, Nezha showed an expression of helplessness, adding, “But this place is after all a Demon Cave; even if it’s just one of the other demons here, if they act and the Great Demon Head more powerful than the Tathagata is alerted, we won’t stand a chance of escaping!”
“Therefore, we must locate the one with the Fire Tip Spear and then find a way to lure them out!” Jiang Liu said earnestly.
While speaking thoughtfully, he added, “Gentlemen, a thousand miles east of the Great Nirvana Temple lies a grand canyon.
Wait for me there.
I will find the target and lead them to you!”
“What!?
Holy Monk, you’re going to lure them?” The others were surprised at Jiang Liu’s plan, with Erlang God looking at him incredulously.
It seemed unbelievable, for among the four, Jiang Liu had the lowest cultivation level and was much less advanced than even Nezha, so how could he be the one to take such a risk?
“Holy Monk, let me do it.
The Fire Tip Spear is my responsibility; how can I let you take the risk?” Nezha, feeling even more embarrassed, offered himself.
“I say this because I have confidence in myself!”
Jiang Liu shook his head, his gaze meeting Erlang God and the others, “Think about it, to lead someone away, we first need to find the person who stole the Fire Tip Spear, right?”
At this point, he paused and then continued, “To find the person, we must first use the Treasure-Seeking Mirror; having the mirror makes me the most suited for the task!”
“And, even though the treasure mirror can point the way, we still need to find the person without making a sound, don’t we?”
“Your cultivation might be high, but you’re not familiar with the inside of the Great Nirvana Temple, so I have the greatest chance of locating the person!”
“Well, you have a point, Holy Monk!” Master Leizhen nodded slightly, agreeing with Jiang Liu’s words.
“Still, Holy Monk, with your cultivation level, it would be too dangerous if you were discovered, wouldn’t it?” Erlang God still expressed his concerns for Jiang Liu’s safety.
“Rest assured, if I say so, then I have the means to protect myself!” Jiang Liu reassured, shaking his head.
As he spoke, his mind subtly stirred.
The Eighteen-Petaled Lotus appeared before Jiang Liu, radiating a brilliant light.
Simultaneously, the Green Lotus Treasured Flag also emerged.
Lastly, Jiang Liu also took out the Nine-Ring Staff.
“Uh…” Seeing the multiple Supreme Treasures surrounding Jiang Liu, whether it was Erlang God, Master Leizhen, or even Nezha, all were taken aback, astonished.
So ostentatious, each of these treasures was valuable enough to provoke fierce battles, weren’t they?
“I always thought Nezha’s treasures were plenty, but it seems, Holy Monk, you have the most, and each is priceless!” After scrutinizing the treasures beside Jiang Liu, Master Leizhen turned his gaze to Nezha with a slightly twitching mouth, making his comment.
Erlang God felt Master Leizhen was speaking right to his heart. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Hearing this, Erlang God also nodded in agreement; it was indeed true.
“Since that’s the case, then please be careful, Holy Monk!” With a strange look at the treasures around Jiang Liu, Nezha also languished in silence for a moment, then spoke out.
After Nezha finished speaking, the three of them reiterated their concerns for Jiang Liu’s safety and then finally left the Great Nirvana Temple.
“The Holy Monk truly is a selfless person!” As they departed, Nezha couldn’t help but reflect internally, with the guilt in his heart intensifying.
Once the three had left, Jiang Liu’s thoughts subtly shifted, activating the Severance of Corpses page and releasing his Good Corpse once again.
Cloaked in the Shadow Robe and toying with the Treasure Lotus Lantern in hand, the Good Corpse slipped into the Great Nirvana Temple to seek out Guanyin.
That day within the Great Nirvana Temple, Guanyin had just finished her tasks and was preparing to return to her Zen Room to rest.
However, as she reached the door of her Zen Room, she suddenly felt a slight stir in her heart and looked to the side.
There, she saw a figure standing quietly in the corner, their form completely shrouded in a black robe.
What caught Guanyin’s attention even more was that the person held a lantern in their hand.
“Treasure Lotus Lantern!?” Guanyin was secretly astonished at the sight of the small lantern in the figure’s hand.
She naturally understood the identity of the shadowy figure as well.
After all, the incident where Sect Master Tongtian’s mysterious disciple nearly severed the Empress and took away her Treasure Lotus Lantern was common knowledge.
Shrouded in a Shadow Robe, the Good Corpse made no attempt to speak upon realizing Guanyin had discovered him.
With a movement of his figure, he immediately turned to leave.
“Wait a moment…”
Watching the Good Corpse turn to leave, Guanyin reflexively called out, her figure immediately giving chase.
Back in the Demon Realm, she had clashed with him and was no match, sustaining severe injuries as a result.
Yet he had not killed her.
Though they had exchanged a few words at the time, Guanyin’s curiosity about the enigmatic shadow was still very strong, which led her to give chase immediately.
Guanyin could tell from his silent presence that he had purposely come to seek her out, even though he did not speak.
The Good Corpse swiftly left the Great Nirvana Temple and quickly flew towards the distance.
Guanyin naturally pursued him closely from behind.
In terms of cultivation level, the Good Corpse was just level 60, while Guanyin had reached the staggering level of 88.
Thus, when it came to flight, her speed was incomparably faster.
The Good Corpse was exceedingly quick, and with Controlling Qi Flight, Guanyin was even faster.
Before long, she caught up with him.
At this moment, they had not yet reached the designated meeting place, and the Good Corpse had no intention of stopping.
He infused his strength into the Treasure Lotus Lantern and shook it towards Guanyin.
A green beam of light shot out towards her.
Guanyin, surprised by the sudden attack from the mysterious shadow, tensed and promptly raised her hand to block it.
The light from the Treasure Lotus Lantern was effortlessly parried by Guanyin.
Seizing the moment, the Good Corpse increased his speed slightly and swiftly flew further into the distance.
However, Guanyin watched his figure with a slight frown, feeling perplexed.
Why did he suddenly attack her?
And the strength of the attack was very weak at that.
After pondering for a moment, she decided to continue the chase.
But this time, she chose not to catch up to the Good Corpse, instead trailing him from a distance.
Although unclear of his reasons, Guanyin could discern that he seemed to be leading her somewhere.
If so, she decided to see for herself.
He had not killed her the last time; surely, he would not harm her this time?
“Phew…”
As he flew, the Good Corpse internally sighed in relief upon realizing that Guanyin was not intending to catch up, merely hanging back instead.
Since Guanyin showed no sign of pursuit, the Good Corpse relaxed a bit and continued flying into the distance.
Thus, they proceeded, one chasing and the other fleeing, their figures streaking across the sky.
After expending an entire Chinese Hour, they covered a thousand miles, moving from the area of conflict to the valley above where they were scheduled to meet Erlang God and the others.
Once reaching their destination, the Good Corpse stopped flying and his figure halted mid-air.
“Honored One, why did you summon me here?” Guanyin asked as she halted as well, seeing that the Good Corpse had stopped.
However, instead of responding, the Good Corpse’s figure turned into an illusion and quickly vanished.
Naturally, this was because Jiang Liu had summoned him back from the Severance of Corpses page.
“What’s going on?
He left just like that!?” Guanyin was inwardly astonished at the sudden disappearance of the mysterious figure, finding the situation utterly baffling.
He had led her here and without a word, just left?
Whoosh!
But before Guanyin could understand what was happening, another figure flew towards her.
Guanyin turned her head and saw that the approaching figure was Xuanzang.
In his hands, he held a mirror with three arrows on it.
One of the arrows pointed right at her.
