Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1048: Kunpeng Left

Awkward, helpless.

At this moment, within the Ming Sect, the feelings of several Quasi-Saints were all like this.

Originally, they were here tracing the mystic figure, aiming to find him to see if the rumors were true, and whether the last Hongmeng Purple Qi was indeed in his possession.

However, at this moment, Xuanzang and Gaoyang have started to argue.

Even after their argument, Xuanzang couldn’t glean any information about the mystic figure’s whereabouts from Gaoyang, making the Quasi-Saints feel rather awkward.

If even Xuanzang couldn’t get it out of Gaoyang, could they themselves find out if they asked?

That’s an impossible thing.

But what should be done if they don’t ask? Should they really resort to confronting Gaoyang?

Furthermore, with Xuanzang nearby, would he stand idly by while they made a move? Just the thought of Gaoyang holding the Green Duckweed Sword makes them hesitate.

Otherwise, Sect Master Tongtian might retaliate against them.

Especially Kunpeng, who was pushed to the bottom of the North Sea by Tongtian’s astonishing Sword Qi.

Helpless, asking calmly wouldn’t bring out any answers, yet forcing Gaoyang to reveal the mystic figure’s whereabouts was impossible. What should be done next?

At this moment, the several Quasi-Saints gathered in the Ming Sect were deeply troubled, with no idea how to proceed.

At this moment, Jiang Liu’s gaze also fell on Randeng Buddha and the others, waiting to see their next move.

Yet Randeng Buddha and the others made no move nor did they intend to leave, causing Jiang Liu’s mind to tense slightly.

"May I ask, Buddha, if there are any other inquiries you wish to make?" Since Randeng Buddha and the others had nothing to say, Jiang Liu spoke directly, inquiring.

"This..." Hearing Jiang Liu’s inquiry made Randeng Buddha’s face show hesitation, feeling at a loss.

Surely he couldn’t say he still wanted to know the mystic figure’s whereabouts, hence his reluctance to leave?

"Apparently it concerns Hongmeng Purple Qi, so none of them are willing to let it go easily!" Seeing Randeng Buddha’s silent refusal to leave, Jiang Liu inwardly pondered.

"Amitabha, if Buddha still wishes to know anything, this disciple can handle it!"

Jiang Liu muttered a Buddha’s name softly, without showing any intention of urging Randeng Buddha to leave, yet he expressed his own thoughts: if Randeng Buddha did not leave, he would remain at the Ming Sect as well.

"This..." Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Randeng Buddha’s face turned more unpleasant.

Xuanzang is a core figure in the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, would it be acceptable if he delayed the progress due to this?

If the progress was delayed, getting Hongmeng Purple Qi would be one thing, but the fear was failing to acquire it yet unnecessarily hindering the Journey to the West for Scriptures.

"Xuanzang, I have no other questions anymore, when you find out the mystic figure’s whereabouts, do not forget to inform me!" After a brief silence, Randeng Buddha spoke to Jiang Liu.

After saying this, Randeng Buddha had no intention of speaking further, and with a movement, he left the Ming Sect.

Of course, while he had left, Randeng Buddha’s Divine Sense still enveloped the Ming Sect area.

He would not leave empty-handed in the struggle for Hongmeng Purple Qi while others remained there.

Thus, he had to observe the actions of others.

"Phew..." Seeing Randeng Buddha finally driven away by himself, Jiang Liu inwardly let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterward, he turned his gaze to Master Zhenyuan.

After a brief silence, Jiang Liu spoke: "Brother, we haven’t seen each other for some time, you came tracing the mystic figure’s tracks, but now that Gaoyang is unaware of his whereabouts, why not join me for a few rounds of Mahjong?"

"Hmm, that would be good!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, inviting him to play Mahjong, he thought for a moment, realizing he couldn’t discover the mystic figure’s whereabouts now, Master Zhenyuan nodded slightly in agreement.

With Master Zhenyuan’s nod, naturally, his situation was resolved, and Jiang Liu’s gaze shifted to Ancestor Minghe.

Smiling secretly, Jiang Liu spoke: "Hierarch, it’s rare for my daughter to return, would you let her stay a few days longer? Hierarch, would you also stay and witness the Ming Sect’s grandeur?"

"Hmph, I won’t stay!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, beside him, Xueyu snorted coldly, expressing his stance.

Considering the earlier argument between Jiang Liu and Gaoyang, even nearly coming to blows, Xueyu still harbored anger towards Jiang Liu.

As for Minghe? Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, he shook his head like a rattle, saying: "There are still many matters to handle in my Netherworld Blood Sea, I won’t be staying. Let’s talk another time!"

Are you kidding? If it weren’t for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Ancestor Minghe would have turned around and left upon his first glance at Jiang Liu.

Now that finding that mysterious person is extremely difficult, there’s no hurry for this matter. Staying in the Ming Sect? Spending some days with Xuanzang? Ancestor Minghe is naturally unwilling.

After throwing down such a statement, Ancestor Minghe turned his head and instructed Xueyu beside him to stay in the Ming Sect for some days and not to forget to return to the Netherworld Blood Sea.

After issuing this instruction, Ancestor Minghe bade farewell to Jiang Liu and directly sank into the Netherworld Blood Sea and returned.

Very decisive.

"Indeed, he’s truly the most cowardly in the Three Realms!" Watching Ancestor Minghe’s decisiveness in leaving, Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched slightly, and he murmured inwardly.

After secretly shaking his head, Jiang Liu’s gaze landed on Master Wuchao.

Randeng Buddha, Master Zhenyuan, and Ancestor Minghe have been persuaded to leave by me, so what about Master Wuchao?

I need to persuade him to leave too.

"Xuanzang, since Princess Gaoyang doesn’t know the whereabouts of that mysterious person, I won’t trouble you anymore!" However, before Jiang Liu could speak, Master Wuchao spoke proactively.

As he spoke, Master Wuchao exchanged farewells with Gaoyang beside him and then turned around and left similarly.

"Uh, he left so easily?" Master Wuchao’s decisiveness in leaving surprised Jiang Liu inwardly.

It seems he weighed the situation, knowing that staying would be meaningless, so he left voluntarily?

Though surprised, Master Wuchao’s voluntary farewell and departure was good news for Jiang Liu. Finally, Jiang Liu’s gaze landed on Kunpeng.

For the mysterious person’s trail, five Quasi-Saints came, and now only Kunpeng is left.

Kunpeng isn’t a fool, naturally seeing that everyone was persuaded to leave by Jiang Liu, leaving only himself. Must he also leave?

However, before Jiang Liu could speak, Kunpeng proactively spoke, eyes falling on Gaoyang, "Princess Gaoyang, your Ming Sect has Flame Cloud Entertainment City with various entertainment options. I’ve been bored these years, wanting to stay in Flame Cloud Entertainment City for some days. Would Princess Gaoyang welcome me?"

Kunpeng wants to stay in Ming Sect!?

Admittedly, this statement was secretly shocking for Jiang Liu and Gaoyang, unexpected.

However, after a brief internal consultation between Jiang Liu and Gaoyang, Gaoyang swiftly nodded, "Our Flame Cloud Entertainment City is open to everyone for fun. Since Senior Kunpeng is interested in these entertainments, of course, we won’t chase people away!"

"That’s great!" Hearing Gaoyang’s agreement, Kunpeng smiled, looking satisfied.

This way, he could righteously stay.

"Jiang Liu, what about you?"

After agreeing to Kunpeng staying, Gaoyang’s gaze settled on Jiang Liu, showing much colder demeanor, "Do you have any business staying here? If not, kindly leave!"

"Hmph!" Hearing Gaoyang’s words clearly as an order to leave, Jiang Liu discontentedly snorted and angrily turned around, leaving the Ming Sect alongside Master Zhenyuan.

With Jiang Liu’s departure, the matter of five Quasi-Saints visiting the Ming Sect reached its conclusion.

After Randeng Buddha and others left, they still left part of their Divine Sense to watch the Ming Sect, discovering Kunpeng actually stayed. Naturally, Randeng Buddha and others felt displeased.

Yet, they couldn’t say anything, only inwardly complaining about Kunpeng’s shamelessness.

To save face, Master Zhenyuan did sit with Jiang Liu and played a few rounds of Mahjong after leaving with him.

However, after a few rounds, Master Zhenyuan didn’t intend to stay longer with Jiang Liu, excusing himself as needing to handle affairs at Wuzhuang Mahjong Parlor, he got up, taking Taoist boys Qingfeng and Mingyue along, also leaving.

The matter of five Quasi-Saint-level big shots visiting the Ming Sect naturally attracted many people’s attention.

Although other Quasi-Saints didn’t personally arrive, they were naturally quite concerned about the situation here.

For instance, the Supreme Elder Lord, Tathagata, Great Jade Emperor, and even a few Quasi-Saints from the Demon Realm were paying attention to the Ming Sect’s happenings.

Seeing Randeng Buddha and the others return empty-handed, although these Quasi-Saints felt disappointed, they weren’t too concerned.

After all, the rumors may not be true.

However, because of these Quasi-Saints, it seems a crisis arose between Princess Gaoyang and Xuanzang?

This matter is worth noting...
