Chapter 829: Luo Fu, dear friend, please stay

The chaos is vast beyond measure; once Luo Fu enters chaos, even with the mark on him, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that they will find his location.

Therefore, Luo Fu must be intercepted the moment he enters chaos.

Chaos, without doubt, is the most suitable place to strike Luo Fu.

As long as the battle's aura is sealed off, even saints cannot perceive the conflict between Saint Zhunti, Saint Jieyin, and Luo Fu within a short time.

When deciding to act against Luo Fu, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had originally been troubled over where exactly to strike him.

Luo Fu is not without backing—he stands behind Saint Tongtian.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin have long since enraged Saint Tongtian; should they ever get the chance, Saint Tongtian will undoubtedly strike them without hesitation.

If Saint Tongtian intervenes, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's plans are likely to fail—they have no confidence they can capture Luo Fu while Saint Tongtian is acting.

After all, Luo Fu's strength is not weak.

Even if a saint unleashes full power, they cannot necessarily overcome Luo Fu within a short time.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin have confidence they can capture Luo Fu because they plan to strike him together.

With two saints attacking simultaneously, no matter how strong Luo Fu is, he can only be suppressed.

In the Three Realms, only Ancestor Minghe fears no saintly suppression.

Within the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, Ancestor Minghe is immortal and indestructible.

No matter how many saints come, it makes no difference to Ancestor Minghe.

Aside from Ancestor Minghe, all other peak quasi-saints fear saintly suppression.

Yet, peak quasi-saints all possess the confidence to escape from a saint's grasp—even a saint finds it hard to suppress a peak quasi-saint.

But if two saints act together, it is different.

With two saints striking simultaneously, even a peak quasi-saint has no chance of escaping suppression.

This is why the peak quasi-saints in the Three Realms detest Buddhism, yet none dare truly offend it.

Among the many great powers of the Three Realms, only Buddhism has two saints.

Under normal circumstances, saints value their dignity.

It is nearly impossible for a saint to join forces against a mere ant beneath a saint.

But Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin of Buddhism are different—they are infamous for their shamelessness.

Thus, the few peak quasi-saints in the Three Realms hold deep vigilance against Buddhism.

With two saints striking simultaneously, apart from Ancestor Minghe's type of peak quasi-saint, no other peak quasi-saint can escape suppression.

This point, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin understand clearly.

Precisely because of this, they have confidence they can suppress Luo Fu.

The moment Saint Zhunti activated his awareness to sense the mark on Luo Fu, Luo Fu immediately knew that Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin were truly probing him.

In fact, ever since Saint Zhunti left the mark, Luo Fu had already noticed his sneaky actions.

Whether in Dao comprehension or Primordial Spirit strength, Luo Fu far surpasses Saint Zhunti.

All of Saint Zhunti's sneaky moves are transparent to Luo Fu; the invisible mark he left is naturally transparent too.

Yet Luo Fu did not expose this—he pretended not to know.

After all, the greatest purpose behind Luo Fu's creation of the Journey to the West wager was to lure Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin into attacking him.

With this goal about to be realized, how could he possibly stop it?

Even this journey into chaos was deliberately chosen by Luo Fu.

Like Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, Luo Fu also believes chaos is the most suitable battlefield.

Fighting in chaos can minimize interference from outsiders to the greatest extent.

If they can suppress or kill Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin within chaos, Buddhism will lose its backing.

Without its backing, with the power Luo Fu now commands, destroying Buddhism will be effortless.

Once Buddhism is destroyed, the so-called Journey to the West calamity and Buddhism's great flourishing become a joke.

Thus, the Journey to the West calamity will be completely reversed.

Seeing that Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had taken the bait, Luo Fu immediately stepped forward into chaos.

The very next second after Luo Fu entered chaos, the forms of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin appeared at Luo Fu's original location.

They exchanged a glance and stepped directly into chaos without hesitation.

The moment they entered chaos, they saw Luo Fu's figure.

"Luo Fu, dear friend, please stop!"

Now that they were in chaos, there was no need to conceal their intentions any longer; Saint Zhunti immediately summoned Heavenly Dao power, flashed forward, and blocked Luo Fu's path.

Saint Jieyin followed closely behind, appearing behind Luo Fu and cutting off his retreat.

Clearly, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had already decided to strike.

"I never expected to encounter two saints in chaos. What is your purpose in calling out to me? Are you here in chaos specifically to find me?"

With his path blocked by Saint Zhunti ahead and his retreat cut off by Saint Jieyin behind, Luo Fu showed no sign of panic—his expression was utterly relaxed, smiling as he asked Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin their purpose.

Any normal person, upon seeing Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, would immediately understand their intent.

Yet Luo Fu wore a smile and asked them politely why they had called him out.

The only possible reason he did this was that he intended to toy with Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

"Luo Fu, dear friend, the ninth-rank World-destroying Black Lotus is of vital importance to us. Would you be willing to part with it? If you agree, we are willing to offer you a spiritual treasure of equal rank as compensation."

Saint Zhunti did not choose to attack immediately—he first asked whether Luo Fu would be willing to exchange the ninth-rank World-destroying Black Lotus.

The ninth-rank World-destroying Black Lotus was Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's most important goal.

After losing the Journey to the West wager, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin cannot easily gather enough fortune and merit within a short time to repay their debt to the Heavenly Dao.

Now, the only possible solution is to obtain the ninth-rank World-destroying Black Lotus from Luo Fu and fully restore the Western Paradise.

Fully repairing the Western Niuhe Continent would inevitably yield vast amounts of qi fortune and merit, more than enough to repay the Heavenly Dao's debt.
