Chapter 1371

"Truly strange, too strange."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Western Lingshan, upon hearing Maitreya Buddha's words,

were all stunned.

That's right!

Bodhisattva Lingji had been in a stalemate with the Yellow Wind King until now, and any discerning eye could see signs of his defeat.

Why, as a Quasi-Saint and the executor of the Fomen Westward Journey plan, had Venerable Kasyapa not taken action even when things had reached this point?

Could he have been entangled by some other demon or powerhouse?

Thinking of this result, Maitreya Buddha found it more and more likely!

After all, the person behind the Yellow Wind King could give away treasures that directly allowed one to break through to Great Luo Jinxian; if he let Venerable Kasyapa take action,

wouldn't his arrangements have been wasted in vain?

Therefore, for the sake of the plan's success, this person must have taken action to intercept Venerable Kasyapa, a Quasi-Saint, so that he had no way to target the Yellow Wind King.

Thereby ensuring the mastermind's plan could succeed one hundred percent.

However, in reality, Venerable Kasyapa was currently not far from Yellow Wind Ridge and could even clearly see the battle between Bodhisattva Lingji and the Yellow Wind King.

As a Quasi-Saint, Venerable Kasyapa naturally could see that if Bodhisattva Lingji dragged this on, there was a risk of defeat.

But even in this situation, Venerable Kasyapa chose not to take action.

Although this move would inevitably cause their Fomen to lose face in the Primordial cultivation world, Venerable Kasyapa didn't care.

What Venerable Kasyapa cared about was that the entire Westward Journey plan had been handed over to him by Maitreya Buddha.

The Fomen Westward Journey plan, a plan plotted for thousands of years, was even the key to the Westward Journey Kalpa Tribulation.

Such a good thing falling on Venerable Kasyapa's head could be said to be an excellent opportunity.

Once he achieved results, he would inevitably be valued by the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti.

But if it were just that, Venerable Kasyapa wouldn't be slacking off.

Nominally, the Westward Journey plan was still under Maitreya Buddha's control, meaning Venerable Kasyapa had to put in all the effort to ensure the Fomen Westward Journey plan succeeded,

while the final benefits would all end up in Maitreya Buddha's pockets.

If it were just that, Venerable Kasyapa would have endured it; after all, Maitreya Buddha was the current Buddha of the Western Fomen.

But the only way Venerable Kasyapa could earn benefits—helping Tang Seng escape and skimming some profit—was now opposed by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Fomen.

Under these circumstances, it was simply impossible for Venerable Kasyapa to wholeheartedly take charge of the Fomen Westward Journey plan.

Therefore, this time, Venerable Kasyapa was not prepared to be the honest man in the Western Fomen.

Everything was left to him, Venerable Kasyapa, to handle, while others could slack off and still receive plenty of merit rewards. ===== CHAPTER 1373 =====
