Chapter 1649

Of course, this was also because the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi only used his divine ability, Qiankun in the Sleeve, to trap Tang Sanzang and his disciples, Sun Wukong and the others.

If they had been enemies of life and death, they would likely have lost their lives the moment they were taken into the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's Qiankun in the Sleeve.

"Amitabha, greetings to Maitreya Buddha, greetings to Venerable Kasyapa!"

"I am deeply grateful to you both for your help this time; this poor monk is eternally indebted."

As soon as Tang Sanzang came out, he saw Maitreya Buddha and Venerable Kasyapa, and combined with the fact that the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi had released them,

The current Maitreya Buddha hated the mastermind behind Wuzhuang Temple to the core; if not for him, why would he, Maitreya Buddha, have had to pay such a heavy price?

If he could only discover the identity of this mastermind, Maitreya Buddha would love to swallow him alive, bite by bite.

Only in this way could he vent the resentment and anger in his heart!

Now that the matter was resolved, the gaze the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi cast upon Tang Sanzang softened.

At this moment, the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi looked at Tang Sanzang and apologized with a sincere expression:
