Chapter 3424

~3 min read 502 words

After passing a few days in such a muddled state, Wu Feng followed Tang Sanzang to the Imperial Palace.

It was the Emperor who sent people to pick them up, and Wu Feng being able to follow was also requested by the Emperor.

Clearly, even in Hongfa Temple, the Emperor had some informants.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know Wu Feng's current identity.

Wu Feng, in the capacity of Tang Sanzang's disciple, followed Tang Sanzang into the Imperial Palace and arrived at a high platform.

This platform was a full hundred meters high, and Wu Feng had pulled Tang Sanzang up by flying.

Tang Sanzang did not offer any opposition.

After going up, Wu Feng saw that only one person was standing on the platform.

However, this person actually had a human body, a yellow dragon's head, and stood a full five or six meters tall.

This left Wu Feng somewhat shocked.

This man with the yellow dragon head was dressed in luxurious clothing; clearly, he was the Emperor.

Tang Sanzang seemed completely unsurprised by the Emperor's appearance, simply pressing his palms together in a salute.

The Emperor opposite opened his hands and said to Tang Sanzang, "Master, if you can obtain the scriptures on this trip to the Western Heaven and save the people of my country, I am willing to gift my entire dynasty to you, Master."

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng was even more surprised; the benefits this Emperor was offering were overly profound.

Wu Feng began to examine the Emperor carefully and started to notice that there were some wounds on the Emperor's body; there were traces of being gnawed at the neck, and the trachea was even exposed.

This caused a sense of horror in Wu Feng's heart.

"Wu Feng, do not look at many things casually."

Tang Sanzang's voice reached Wu Feng's ears, which left Wu Feng with no choice but to lower his head slightly and stop looking at the very strange Emperor opposite.

The Emperor seemed indifferent and said to Tang Sanzang, "Master, I know my own situation. Now, the only thing I can rely on is your scriptures."

Tang Sanzang chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, you need not be like this. My journey to the West to seek the true scriptures is for the sake of saving all sentient beings, not for anything else. You are the Emperor, so you will always be the Emperor."

When Wu Feng heard this, he actually felt somewhat displeased. What does "the Emperor will always be the Emperor" mean? Does that imply that ordinary people will always be ordinary people who are bullied by others?

If that is the case, what is the significance of obtaining the scriptures for the common people?

Wu Feng was displeased, but he was not a fool; he knew there was no need to debate this with Tang Sanzang at this time.

It was just that his filter for Tang Sanzang had diminished significantly.
