Chapter 1388: Simply a Pitfall

After all, unlike the vast majority of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Western Fomen whose fates were already bound to the Western Fomen,

he, Venerable Kasyapa, had a way out.

Even if the Journey to the West plan failed, even if the Western Fomen went bankrupt, couldn't he, Venerable Kasyapa, defect to the Jie Sect and defect to his master, Daoist Duobao?

Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud was not slow.

It hadn't been long before Sun Wukong had arrived at Western Lingshan.

"Maitreya Buddha, I have come uninvited this time because I have something to ask of you."

Maitreya Buddha looked at Sun Wukong, and in his heart, he thought it was mostly about the Yellow Wind King.

But even so, Maitreya Buddha still played dumb.

"A rare guest, Great Sage Sun, what wind blew you here?"

Although he was extremely unhappy with the Western Fomen's ways, Sun Wukong was the one asking for help now.

Therefore, even if Sun Wukong was unhappy, he could only force himself to endure the displeasure in his heart.

'Wasn't the matter of Yellow Wind Ridge arranged by your Fomen?'

'Although there was the incident of the invaders from another world, if you hadn't planted a Yellow Wind King here, would we, master and disciples, have been blocked?'

Sun Wukong could only complain in his heart, while on the surface, he had to put on a smiling face and look at Maitreya Buddha, saying:

"To tell you the truth, Maitreya Buddha, we, master and disciples, have encountered trouble in Yellow Wind Ridge."

Subsequently, Sun Wukong began to recount the events that he and his group of five had encountered in Yellow Wind Ridge in front of Maitreya Buddha and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan.

Maitreya Buddha naturally was not prepared to let Sun Wukong know that the Yellow Wind King was one of the eighty-one tribulations they had planted in the Journey to the West kalpa.

After all, it was they who asked Tang Seng to come to the West to obtain the scriptures, and it was also they who arranged for people to block him and even eat Tang Seng's meat.

If Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, and the others knew, I fear it would cause them to harbor resentment toward the Western Fomen.

However, what Maitreya Buddha did not know was that Sun Wukong had long since learned about these things from the *Journey to the West* in Senior Wu Feng's grocery store.

And he also knew that everything about him, Sun Wukong, was under the calculations of the Western Fomen.

Therefore, Sun Wukong was so hostile toward the Western Fomen.

However, Sun Wukong did not expose these things; let alone Maitreya Buddha, even the two Western Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, did not know.

Under these circumstances, hearing Sun Wukong's account, Maitreya Buddha feigned shock and said:

"There is such a thing?"

"That demon named Yellow Wind King actually has such strength?"

"Bodhisattva Lingji, is this true?"

Maitreya Buddha, in order to make the act realistic, deliberately asked Bodhisattva Lingji.

"It is indeed so!"

Bodhisattva Lingji also cooperated very well with Maitreya Buddha's performance.

However, this scene, falling into Sun Wukong's eyes, only made him want to laugh.

After all, how could Bodhisattva Lingji return to Lingshan without informing Maitreya Buddha of what happened in Yellow Wind Ridge?

But for now, Sun Wukong did not care about this matter.

The most important thing at the moment was to have a Western Fomen expert step in to resolve the Yellow Wind King in Yellow Wind Ridge.

Otherwise, the five of them, master and disciples, would not be able to continue their journey to the West.
