Chapter 1636: Landed in Maitreya Buddha's hands

After all, those were high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, which were rare throughout the entire Primordial World.

Moreover, this was only regarding the compensation for Wuzhuang Temple; they hadn't even factored in how to deal with the sentient Ginseng Fruit Tree.

If the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi did not have Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, and the others in his hands, and wanted the Western Fomen to pay such a price,

given the thickness of the Western Fomen's skin, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi would never get the compensation he deserved, even after the Journey to the West ended.

Simply put, without leverage in the hands of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, Western Lingshan would definitely act like a deadbeat.

Therefore, faced with such a situation, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to capture Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, and the others to coerce Western Lingshan into paying the price.

Of course, another reason was that the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi was venting his anger against Sun Wukong and Fahai for having his dojo uprooted.

Inside the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi's "Universe in the Sleeve," Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, and the others saw their master, Tang Seng, also being captured. They felt quite surprised, as destroying the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi's dojo, Wuzhuang Temple on Mount Wanshou, had nothing to do with their master, Tang Seng.

However, right now, the five of them on the pilgrimage were all captured within the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi's "Universe in the Sleeve."

There was no way to call for help.

But neither Sun Wukong nor Marshal Tianpeng felt any worry about this.

After all, in Sun Wukong's view, although the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi was furious when he acted, he did not take their lives immediately.

This meant that the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi intended to use their existence to demand conditions from a certain faction.

And Sun Wukong deduced that the faction the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi was targeting was most likely the Western Fomen.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong became even less worried. Inside the "Universe in the Sleeve," Sun Wukong simply chose a good spot.

He lay down, squinted his eyes, and waited for the actions of Maitreya Buddha from the Western Fomen!

After all, watching the Western Fomen bleed, let alone Sun Wukong, anyone present would be very happy to see this scene.

On Lingshan.

Maitreya Buddha saw that Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, and the others had all been captured by the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi.

He also understood in his heart that sending the Eighteen Arhats again would be of no use.

So at this moment, on Lingshan, in front of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Maitreya Buddha spoke:

"It seems that I, the Buddha, need to make a trip to Wuzhuang Temple for this matter!"

"Listening to what the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi said, I fear that if this calamity at Wuzhuang Temple does not satisfy him,"

"our Western Fomen's Journey to the West plan might just have to stop here."

It was not that Maitreya Buddha had not thought about informing the two Quasi-Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti; after all, with the two Quasi-Saints stepping in,

even if they negotiated terms with the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, he would not dare to make exorbitant demands.

But once that happened, it would mean that there had been a major error in the execution of the pilgrimage plan, and it had almost landed in his, Maitreya Buddha's, hands. ===== CHAPTER 1638 =====
