Chapter 1502: The enemy of an enemy is a friend

Besides, this time, sending Venerable Kasyapa to help

Get Tang Sanzang to accept General Juan Lian as a disciple would only cost their Western Fomen a bit of lip service.

And the main resources expended would be General Juan Lian himself.

Therefore, in this situation, once General Juan Lian could become Tang Sanzang's disciple, he would also owe their Western Fomen a favor.

In this way, Maitreya Buddha could further strengthen the causal relationship between the Western Fomen and Tang Sanzang's party through this matter.

So, facing such a good opportunity to take advantage easily, Maitreya Buddha naturally wouldn't miss it.

Venerable Kasyapa, hearing Maitreya Buddha's words, began to think silently.

It wasn't that Venerable Kasyapa couldn't see through what Maitreya Buddha was thinking.

It was just that for Venerable Kasyapa, the things he considered didn't need to be from such a high perspective.

For Venerable Kasyapa, the most important thing was that going this time, not to mention whether he could gain benefits,

At least it didn't require him, Venerable Kasyapa, to pay any price.

After thinking carefully,

Venerable Kasyapa also realized that the price to be paid for going this time was basically nothing.

Unless some accident occurred, but that possibility was very small.

As for the benefits, Venerable Kasyapa didn't care.

It was just a matter of moving his lips; even if there were benefits, they wouldn't have much to do with him, Venerable Kasyapa.

But there was one thing Venerable Kasyapa knew very well.

That was, the relationship between Venerable Kasyapa and Maitreya Buddha was currently tense.

Because of the Yellow Wind Ridge incident, he had finally found an opportunity to flatter Maitreya Buddha,

And Maitreya Buddha had begun to change his view of Venerable Kasyapa.

Therefore, in this situation, Maitreya Buddha let Venerable Kasyapa go.

For one, Maitreya Buddha also hoped to use this matter to ease the relationship with Venerable Kasyapa.

After all, there were not many Quasi-Saints left in the Western Fomen now.

Especially the Quasi-Saints that he, Maitreya Buddha, could command; currently, there was only Venerable Kasyapa.

If the relationship with Venerable Kasyapa were completely broken,

I fear that by then, he, Maitreya Buddha, would have no one under his command.

As for the Eighteen Arhats, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the like,

Maitreya Buddha didn't put them in his eyes at all.

After all, although their strength was not weak, the troubles Tang Sanzang was encountering now

Were not things that this group of people could solve.

Especially since this group of people was not loyal to him, Maitreya Buddha,

But loyal to the position of Buddha.

Today he, Maitreya Buddha, was the Buddha of the Western Fomen.

Therefore, in this situation, the Eighteen Arhats, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and others could follow his, Maitreya Buddha's, orders.

But if tomorrow he, Maitreya Buddha, was no longer the Buddha, I fear this group of people would turn a deaf ear to his, Maitreya Buddha's, orders.

Secondly, in Maitreya Buddha's eyes, Venerable Kasyapa was an object that could be won over.

Back then, Venerable Kasyapa was exiled by the hand of Daoist Randeng Ancient Buddha.

And this also led to the fact that although the relationship between Venerable Kasyapa and Daoist Randeng Ancient Buddha couldn't be called water and fire,

They were mutually hostile.

In this situation, Maitreya Buddha, holding the belief that the enemy of an enemy is a friend,

Hoped to use this move to release his goodwill.

Thereby being able to pull Venerable Kasyapa onto his chariot.

In this way, even if Daoist Randeng Ancient Buddha wanted to deal with him, Maitreya Buddha,

With Venerable Kasyapa's help, Maitreya Buddha's chances of winning would correspondingly be much higher.
