Chapter 2795 - 2794: Who Has the Thicker Skin

Chapter 2795: Chapter 2794: Who Has the Thicker Skin

Shameless!

The Witch and Demon Tribes berated in unison.

Now they were all seriously injured, and even if united, they couldn’t defeat this fat-headed, big-eared fellow.

At this moment, the sound of wind howled from the horizon.

A person stepped upon the void, gracefully appearing before everyone, gazing across at Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun.

The joy on Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun’s face disappeared, and he immediately tightened his expression and said, "What, has the Eastern Emperor also joined this affair?"

"Whether I have or not, the Patriarch Buddha knows well!"

Long Fei smiled faintly, releasing Qingfeng and the Young Servant Mingyue.

The two, upon seeing Wuzhuang Temple razed to the ground, screamed out in shock and sorrow, "What, what happened here?"

Long Fei told them, "We came too late, Brother Zhen Yuanzi has already transcended this mortal realm."

"What?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue cried out in grief, "Our master had the body of a Quasi-Saint, imperishable even in a myriad calamities, how could he transcend so easily?"

Long Fei said nothing, only asking them, "When Wuzhuang Temple was besieged just now, who all were there?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue wiped their tears, pointing at the Witch and Demon Tribes on the ground and cursing, "It was them, surely they killed our master!"

"Who else?"

Long Fei looked at Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun, curling his lips.

Qingfeng and Mingyue also looked at him, pointing and shouting, "It was this Great Monk, he sent people to invite our master to preach and discuss doctrines. Master didn’t go, so these thieves followed to attack!"

Long Fei nodded, "Indeed, he intended to lure your master out, aiming to steal the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Unfortunately, your master didn’t go, and these thieves joined forces to kill him."

Qingfeng and Mingyue cried in great sorrow, cursing at Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun, "Great Monk, our master was always on good terms with your Western Heaven, why did you treat him like this?"

"What an eloquent Eastern Emperor!"

Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun, unmoved, maintained his countenance, bringing his palms together, "Amitabha, Qingfeng and Mingyue, you have both been deceived by him. Emperor, are you here for the Ginseng Fruit Tree?"

Long Fei calmly replied, "I naturally came for this fruit tree. The orthodoxy of Wuzhuang Temple remains, and I won’t let Brother Zhen Yuanzi’s lineage vanish. I will take this Ginseng Fruit Tree to Liangshan Island for care. One day, when Wuzhuang Temple is rebuilt, the tree will be returned. I advise the Patriarch Buddha not to err further; matters here aren’t for you to govern."

Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun focused on Qingfeng and Mingyue, "Young Servants, I was always on friendly terms with your master. Since he is now a transcendent, it is my duty to protect Wuzhuang Temple from external disturbances. If you wish, I can leave the Ginseng Fruit Tree here, rebuild Wuzhuang Temple, and let its orthodoxy continue. Do you want the Ginseng Fruit Tree to leave with the Eastern Emperor or stay here? Wuzhuang Temple’s future is for you to decide."

Qingfeng and Mingyue felt a dilemma, as their master had entrusted them to the care of the Eastern Emperor.

But the Eastern Emperor intended to take the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and they doubted if Long Fei truly had no interest in such an incredible Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure.

If he took it and never returned it, wouldn’t they be sinners of Wuzhuang Temple?

However, if they left it here, they would inevitably fall under the control of the Buddhist Sect.

Against their power, they were in no way a match for the Buddhist Sect.

They hesitated for a while, but during their deliberation, the Kunpeng Ancestor suddenly made a move below.

A golden light flashed, the Sky-Rending Claw gleamed with golden light, appearing before the Ginseng Fruit Tree, ripping upwards with a tearing sound.

Though protected by a membrane, the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Sky-Rending Claw still opened a crack, clawing at the Ginseng Fruit Tree to take it away.

This Spiritual Root lived by consuming earth meridian energy.

It particularly liked consuming Golden Elemental Power, hence it grew here in the Western Direction of Geng Metal.

After Zhen Yuanzi passed away, a remnant thought merged into the tree.

When the Kunpeng Ancestor extended his claw, the branches of the Peach Tree whipped at it like a horsetail whisk.

With a bang, the impact shattered the Kunpeng Ancestor’s claw.

Pulling back his fingers, repeatedly injured, he knew this opportunity was no longer his to seize.

He grumbled towards Long Fei and the Great Sun Golden Crow with a muffled tone, "You two treacherous fools, this ancestor will not play with you any longer."

He revealed a Dharma Laksana of golden wings, disappearing instantly from the spot.

He knew he had been used as a pawn this time.

The cause was his, but the benefit went to others.

Though unwilling, survival was paramount.

The Ancient Demon Clan glanced at Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun; they couldn’t contend with their Demon Emperor over this.

After a moment’s thought, they too followed the Kunpeng Ancestor’s departure.

Jiufeng stared at Long Fei, ultimately choosing to forgo, gifting this opportunity to Long Fei.

She also realized they had been schemed against by these people.

Whether it was Long Fei or Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun, they had long anticipated their arrival to compete for the Ginseng Fruit.

Yet even so, they made no move, allowing them to kill Zhen Yuanzi, only appearing to pick the Fruit of Victory.

Jiufeng thought to herself that she was still too young, already becoming a pawn on Long Fei’s chessboard.

They left indignantly, leaving the arena to Long Fei and Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun.

Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun continued to speak to Qingfeng and Mingyue, "Young Servants, did you see just now? A remnant thought of your master merged into the Ginseng Fruit Tree; perhaps after a great change in heaven and earth, he will be reborn into the world. If you let him take away the Ginseng Fruit Tree, that hope of rebirth may be cut off."

Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately decided they couldn’t let their master’s spirit be taken away!

They politely said to Long Fei, "Many thanks for coming to help, Emperor, but our master’s spirit already inhabits the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and it is not suited to be transplanted elsewhere. We have decided to rebuild Wuzhuang Temple here!"

"Amitabha!"

Tathagata Buddha brought his palms together, smiling slightly at Long Fei, "Emperor, you won’t force others, will you?"

Long Fei smiled faintly, "Since Qingfeng and Mingyue insist on staying here, I wouldn’t force them. But I want to ask the Patriarch Buddha, even when Brother Zhen Yuanzi was around, he couldn’t ensure the Ginseng Fruit Tree’s safety. Are you planning to meditate and cultivate at Wuzhuang Temple, never leaving?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue thought, indeed!

A single word from Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun couldn’t deter other demons and witches from harboring intentions!

Those Witch and Demon tribes that left didn’t say they wouldn’t return.

Tathagata Buddha gave them his assurance, "If necessary, this humble monk sitting here is not out of the question! Brother Zhen Yuanzi and this humble monk had deep ties, and I am willing to guard his path until he emerges again from the Ginseng Fruit Tree by slaying the mortal shell to achieve enlightenment."

Long Fei smiled faintly, "Then Wuzhuang Temple should change its name, perhaps to Wuzhuang Temple Shrine!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue’s expressions changed, remembering their master’s words, immediately growing wary of Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun.

Compared to this Great Monk, they still had more trust in Long Fei.

After all, Long Fei was their master’s sworn brother and likely wouldn’t have designs on the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
