Chapter 3421

"Good. However, you need not be nervous. Whether you are the fourth or the first, you are my disciple. Later, you will protect me, and I will protect you; we shall support each other."

Tang Sanzang reached out his hand, and Wu Feng was suddenly struck by a chill.

Because, on Tang Sanzang's arm, many holes had appeared, and from within these holes, a liquid resembling asphalt was oozing out.

Seeing Wu Feng take a step back, Tang Sanzang withdrew his arm and hid it within his kasaya. He turned his head to look at the holes on his arm and sighed, saying, "The suffering in this human world far exceeds my own; even if I am like this, what is there to fear?"

Wu Feng did not understand what Tang Sanzang was saying, but he still cupped his hands, indicating that he was just caught off guard.

Then, Wu Feng asked with concern, "Master, what exactly is going on with your body? Has something gone wrong?"

Tang Sanzang shook his head and said noncommittally, "You need not ask. I am very clear about my own body. You should stay at Hongfa Temple for these few days. After I pay my respects to the Emperor, I will take you with me to the West to obtain the scriptures."

Wu Feng nodded. He knew that at this time, it was best to keep his mouth shut, lest this eccentric Tang Sanzang suddenly have a problem and launch all sorts of attacks at him.

If that were to happen, Wu Feng would be dead for sure.

And just as Wu Feng was settling in, in the Heaven Realm, within the Tushita Palace, in a room, a man and a young child stood watching the scene that Wu Feng had seen before.

The man was Erlang Shen, and the young child appeared to have the shadow of clear breeze and bright moon, yet also possessed a mysterious aura.

"Laojun, this kid is not bad. He knows how to use the banner to pull the tiger's skin; otherwise, he wouldn't even have been able to see Tang Sanzang, let alone be taken as a disciple by him."

If Wu Feng were here, he would be very surprised, because in his perception, Taishang Laojun should not have the image of a young boy.

Taishang Laojun looked at the screen and said indifferently, "I know what you are thinking. You hope this chess piece can play a significant role, but you are overthinking it. He is just an accident; we still need to rely more on Tianpeng."

"Marshal Tianpeng, I know he has ability, but his relationship with the Jade Emperor is very complex. Will he stand completely on your side?"

Erlang Shen said to Taishang Laojun.

Taishang Laojun shook his head and said indifferently, "Which side he stands on is not important. As long as he has entered the game and become a chess piece, many things will no longer be under his control."

"Very well, then I shall wait and see."

"Then how should this kid be dealt with?"

Erlang Shen sought Taishang Laojun's opinion.

Taishang Laojun suddenly revealed a slight smile and said, "Yang Jian, do you know that I can calculate almost everything about you, even the relatively stable future?"

Erlang Shen Yang Jian did not know why Taishang Laojun suddenly said this, but he still cupped his hands and said respectfully, "You are a Saint of this Primordial World; naturally, you can know whatever you wish to know."

Taishang Laojun laughed, "You need not flatter me so; I still know the boundaries of my own abilities."

"Now that the Great Tribulation is approaching, the heavenly secrets of many high-level cultivators will become disordered, even yours. The only reason I can calculate yours is simply because we are of the same origin."
