Chapter 1322: A Monk Should Be Compassionate

The reason Venerable Kasyapa did this was to avoid a situation where their Fomen's Journey to the West plan succeeded, but the returns were diminished.

However, it was Tang Seng who was going on the pilgrimage, so although Venerable Kasyapa was dissatisfied with Tang Seng's stance,

he could only try to change Tang Seng's mind through negotiation.

As for force, that was something Venerable Kasyapa would only consider as a last resort.

After all, Tang Seng was the irreplaceable choice for the Western Fomen's pilgrimage.

If this matter caused Tang Seng to quit, then for the Western Fomen,

that would be a decision of picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon.

Thus, Venerable Kasyapa stared earnestly at Tang Seng and said:

"Sanzang, a monk should be compassionate."

"Do not blame others for such small matters."

"Besides, you are not unaware that there are many demons and monsters on the road to obtaining the scriptures."

"With the addition of Marshal Tianpeng, a Daluo Jinxian, won't your safety be greatly improved?"

Hearing this, Tang Seng was already wavering.

However, to agree just like that, after having just made such a harsh statement, would be extremely embarrassing.

Therefore, Tang Seng prepared to hold out for a bit, letting Venerable Kasyapa and Marshal Tianpeng say a few more nice things.

That way, he could at least salvage some of his face.

Consequently, Tang Seng deliberately closed his eyes and began chanting the Heart-Clearing Mantra.

"This~"

Facing this, Venerable Kasyapa was left in a state of confusion.

He did not expect that his words had reached this point.

He had even used his life as a threat, yet Tang Seng still remained unmoved.

Venerable Kasyapa was stunned, and Marshal Tianpeng was the same.

Facing such an unyielding Tang Seng, Marshal Tianpeng was like an ant on a hot pan, spinning around in agitation.

Sun Wukong also prepared to speak, ready to persuade his master.

After all, Marshal Tianpeng was his good friend, and also a good friend of Tang Seng's previous incarnation, Jin Chanzi. ===== CHAPTER 1324 =====
