Capítulo 1442: Chapter 1440: The Saint Makes a Move!

In the Void Realm, the true spirit of Randeng Buddha walks within this Void Realm!

I unexpectedly arrived in this Void Realm while entering meditation!

Being able to directly bring my true spirit into this Void Realm, Randeng Buddha surely knew who was behind this!

Indeed, after walking in this Void Realm for a short time, Randeng Buddha soon encountered Jieyin and Zhunti in this Void Realm!

“Greetings to the two Sect Masters!” Randeng Buddha bowed and said!

“Hmm, Randeng, we sent you to inquire Xuanzang, to seek the matter of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation…” Compared to others, Zhunti’s nature is more straightforward, directly asking.

“Reporting to the Sect Masters, I have already conveyed this message for both of you, but Xuanzang refused!” Hearing Zhunti’s question, Randeng Buddha lowered his head and replied.

“You just simply passed the message?” Hearing what Randeng Buddha said, a trace of anger appeared on Zhunti’s face.

“Furthermore, I also fought with Xuanzang and was defeated by him, nearly losing my life at his hands! Had I not fled using a thousand years’ cultivation level, I might have been killed!” Randeng Buddha continued with his head down.

Upon hearing this, even Zhunti had nothing more to say!

Having already fought, and nearly being killed, what else could they blame Randeng for?

“Hmph, Xuanzang is truly reckless!” Zhunti snorted coldly, with a tone full of anger!

As the Sect Master of the Buddhist Sect, I have already expressed my stance, wanting that Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, yet Xuanzang refuses to hand it over?

This was completely disregarding me, the Sect Master of the Buddhist Sect!

“Brother, calm down! Now Xuanzang is shouldering the Journey to the West for Scriptures, which is also the key to the prosperity of our Buddhist Sect!”

Having interacted over countless huiyuan, how could Jieyin not know Zhunti’s thoughts? After glancing at him, Jieyin spoke to remind.

“Brother!”

However, in face of Jieyin’s reminder, Zhunti’s face grew serious, and he asked, “Indeed, the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect is important, but can its prosperity enable us to resist Sect Master Tongtian?”

“No matter how prosperous the Buddhist Sect becomes, even if we join forces, we are no match for Tongtian; that’s a fact! However, if we have the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation…”

Zhunti may speak bluntly, yet his words aren’t without reason!

Listening to Zhunti, Jieyin also remained silent for a moment, then turned to Randeng, saying, “Randeng, what’s done here is not your fault, you may leave!”

After speaking, Jieyin waved his sleeve at Randeng Buddha!

Randeng suddenly felt a whirlwind, and his true spirit groggily left the Void Realm, returning to his physical body!

With his eyes open, Randeng Buddha’s face inevitably showed a shocked expression.

Though Sect Master Jieyin had sent him back at a crucial moment, Randeng Buddha still understood the meaning behind Zhunti’s words before returning!

Despite Xuanzang being a key figure in the Journey to the West for Scriptures and the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect, it seemed Jieyin and Zhunti had still decided to take action against Xuanzang!?

This truly was news that shook the core!

Yet, upon careful thought, it seemed their actions were logical!

After all, the Saints’ struggle was not exempt from the fate of countless tribulations, merely contending for appearance’s sake!

As important as the Buddhist Sect’s destiny is, could it surpass gaining strength that might even challenge Sect Master Tongtian?

“Namaste, a man without sin bearing a precious jade incurs sin; Xuanzang, possessing merely a Quasi-Saint’s cultivation level, yet wielding the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, an array coveted by Saints, can you truly guard it?”

Thinking of how Jieyin and Zhunti, both Saints, might act against Xuanzang, Randeng Buddha privately shook his head.

In truth, putting oneself in their position, if he were the two Sage Sect Masters, he would equally take action against Xuanzang, snatching his Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, wouldn’t he?

Nevermind the thoughts and feelings of Randeng Buddha!

With Randeng sent away, there were naturally no reservations between Jieyin and Zhunti in the Void Realm!

Whatever needs discussion, could be openly discussed!

“Brother, do you mean to act against Xuanzang?” Jieyin looked at Zhunti and asked.

“Since no matter the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect, it cannot change the fact we would join forces yet fail against Tongtian, why wouldn’t we prioritize the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?” Zhunti looked at Jieyin, speaking as if it were self-evident.

“Only, while your argument is reasonable, now the Journey to the West for Scriptures is nearing its final stage, why not wait a little longer?” Jieyin pondered for a moment before voicing his thoughts!

To Saints, even the passage of thousands of years is but a fleeting instant!

At most, two or three years more, and the Journey to the West for Scriptures would conclude, wouldn’t it?

If so, why not wait until its completion and speak after the Buddhist Sect’s prosperity?

By then, with both the Buddhist Sect’s prosperity and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?

“Brother, where in the world are there so many best of both worlds, ensuring you get everything?”

“Coveting the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation isn’t only shared by us two brothers! If we’re late to act and it’s seized by Laozi or Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable, by then, we would have no place to cry!”

“For the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect, do you think it’s worth taking such a big risk, senior brother?” Listening to Jieyin’s suggestion, Zhunti earnestly stared at Jieyin and asked.

This question left Jieyin speechless for a moment!

Indeed, Zhunti was right; which Saint isn’t envious of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array?

Moreover, to maintain his position as the strongest Saint, Sect Master Tongtian might take action!

At that time, what if someone else got there first? Is it really worth taking such a risk?

“However, Xuanzang is part of our Buddhist Sect now. If we directly take action against Xuanzang, wouldn’t that be…”

After pondering for a moment, Jieyin still voiced his concerns.

Saints vie for reputation, and naturally, they cherish their face in ordinary times!

“At this point, can we afford to worry about such things? If we don’t act, the others certainly won’t have such scruples!” Zhunti remained very straightforward, speaking seriously!

From his senior brother’s words, Zhunti could also tell that his senior brother agreed with his viewpoint but was just concerned about face.

“I think it’s better to approach this matter with a bit more subtlety!” Indeed, after a moment of silence, Jieyin also spoke up.

“Oh? What good strategy do you have, senior brother?” Hearing this, Zhunti’s eyes brightened slightly, and he asked.

“Your words just now, junior brother, actually gave me a good idea!”

“Other Saints will also covet the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array! When we take action, it won’t be to seize it, but to protect it, and then taking the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array is merely to keep it safe for Xuanzang!” Jieyin’s face revealed a smile as he spoke.

“Huh?”

However, upon hearing this, Zhunti’s face turned somewhat unsightly and said, “As the saying goes, how can you be a thief for a thousand days, but there’s no logic in guarding against a thief for a thousand days? Are we to wait until the other Saints make a move on Xuanzang and then we act? Wouldn’t that be entrapping ourselves?”

“No, junior brother, think about it, if a Saint acts against Xuanzang, how can he resist, and how can he know which Saint is acting against him?”

Jieyin’s face had a sneering expression!

“Senior brother, you mean that the two of us brothers, one pretends to be another Saint and attacks Xuanzang?”

Having spent many a Huiyuan together, Zhunti naturally understood Jieyin’s intention from his subtly mocking words, and his eyes brightened.

With a slight smile, Jieyin neither confirmed nor denied but merely offered an indifferent smile!

“Good idea, that’s indeed a good idea!” After some thought, Zhunti nodded in strong agreement!

Soon, the two brothers began discussing the strategies and details of how to implement this plan in low voices!

After discussing everything, it was naturally decided that one would play the role of the good man and the other the villain!

Such a ploy had been well-practiced by Jieyin and Zhunti since the beginning of Heaven!

With a lift of his hand, a Divine Sword appeared in Zhunti’s hand!

After all, as a Saint, Zhunti had many treasures, and though this Divine Sword was far inferior to the four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the Witch-Slaying Sword, it was of considerably good quality!

Then, with a lift of his hand, Zhunti unleashed a stunning Sword Qi, pressing toward the direction of Jiang Liu in the Mortal World!

At this time, Jiang Liu and his companions were on the road of the Journey to the West for Scriptures, when suddenly, the heavens and earth changed color!

A terrifying Sword Qi appeared, pressing straight towards Jiang Liu’s direction!

“Who goes there?” On the road, suddenly attacked, Jiang Liu’s face changed drastically!

Simultaneously, the Godslaying Spear in his hand rose, and a tremendous killing aura erupted as Jiang Liu thrust the spear toward the Sword Qi in the sky!

Immediately, an indescribable pressure came as Jiang Liu was forced to the ground by the Sword Qi!

Meanwhile, the ground also split open as Jiang Liu’s form was pushed into the earth below!

“Master!?”

Seeing the sudden appearance of the tremendous Sword Qi that directly pressed Jiang Liu into the ground, Sun Wukong and the others were shocked and shouted in disbelief!

Just who is it that dares to ambush Master?

Moreover, they could actually press Master into the ground?

Pu!

Under the pressure of this stunning Sword Qi, Jiang Liu involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood as his internal organs were jolted!

Without looking at his Health Bar, Jiang Liu could guess that his Health Point had at least halved!

Whoosh!

It wasn’t over yet; as Jiang Liu was pressed downward by the stunning Sword Qi, suddenly, a giant hand covering the sky appeared from the Void, directly enveloping Jiang Liu!

“In the Three Realms and Six Paths, who else is qualified to wield the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array!”

Between heaven and earth, a male voice echoed!
