Chapter 198 There Is a Kind of Cruelty Called Kindness.

Three days later.

In a market place, a fat Taoist priest with an immortal demeanor was shaking his head and telling people's fortunes.

Suddenly, a sharp sword light flew from the sky, as fast as thunder, piercing the fat Taoist priest's eyebrows.

With a "bang", his huge body fell down, the light flashed slightly, and a single golden hair was placed on the ground.

First, the words "Jade Emperor, but nothing like this" appeared on the ground, and then there was a loud shout that shocked all directions.

When the people around him saw this, the birds were frightened and the fish dispersed, fearing that it would bring disaster to the fish.

A place deep in the mountains and old forests.

Suddenly, a burst of Sanskrit sounds suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a Buddhist swastika appeared above the lush old forest.

As the golden halo of the swastika continued to reverberate, with a chirp, in a bird's nest on a big tree, the body of a certain baby bird exploded with a "bang".

Then, as if some switch was turned on, various animal bodies suddenly exploded in the forest.

After a while, a patch of monkey hair was left in the forest, forming the characters "Tathagata" and "general person" in mid-air, followed by laughter and sarcasm, echoing throughout the thousands of miles around.

Immediately, as if not wanting to give anyone a chance to have an attack, the monkey hair in the air suddenly lost its magic and scattered in the wind.

The swastikas above the forest also disappeared, and the Sanskrit sounds fell silent.

In the Three Realms, temple blessings, many temples, and golden bodies in Taoist temples will often have a flash of sword light or a sudden sound of Sanskrit.

The same is true for the three mountains and five mountains, the five lakes and seas, and the rivers and rivers.

Whenever the sword light and the Sanskrit sound disappear, there is always a monkey hair falling to the ground.

There were various loud shouts mocking the Jade Emperor and Tathagata.

For example, Jade Emperor, you are weak, why is this sword slowing down, Tathagata, it is useless, it is useless, and other strange words.

Moreover, these sarcastic words seemed to be deeply afraid that others would not hear them, so they always resounded throughout the sky.

Even if the Jade Emperor and Tathagata used their means in advance to isolate the world, they could not interrupt these sarcastic voices.

Therefore, in just a few days, not only the cultivators knew that the Jade Emperor and Tathagata were dealing with the newly promoted golden immortals in the demon clan.

Even ordinary people roughly understand that the Jade Emperor in heaven and the Buddha in Buddhism are trying to capture a daring monster monkey.

One month later.

On Mount Tai, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata stared at the sky, silent and speechless.

A blue light flashed, and Yang Jian appeared beside the two of them:

"Your Majesty, there has been no trace of demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom since Wutian escaped. For more than a month, Wei Chen led the heavenly soldiers and generals to search the three realms, but found nothing."

"I think he used Taoist magic to take away all the demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

The Jade Emperor nodded, without a trace of surprise on his face. From these days of continuous pursuit, he knew how he could ignore the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom based on his relationship with the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons.

After a while, the Jade Emperor saw that it would be useless to leave Yang Jian and the heavenly soldiers and generals in the human world, so he asked him to lead his troops back to heaven.

After Yang Jian retreated, Tathagata lowered his eyelids and said slowly:

"Wutian, since you are here, why not show up and see him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white cloud in the sky flashed with green light, revealing Yang Jiao's figure. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said casually:

"Aren't you going to continue to capture and kill me with great fanfare? Are you still going to let Yang Jian look for traces of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and lead out my true identity?"

"Wutian, I admit that in countless years, you are the first person who has made me somewhat helpless, so don't be a good boy while getting an advantage here."

The Jade Emperor looked cold and stared at Yang Jiao:

"Do you really think I can't find your true identity?"

"Haha." Yang Jiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said word by word:

"Really? I don't believe it."

The two people were talking head-to-head, and the atmosphere suddenly condensed and fell into a state of tension.

"Amitabha."

Suddenly, a burst of peaceful Buddhist sounds appeared, easing the tense atmosphere in the venue.

"Wutian, Your Majesty, he does have a way to find out your true identity, or..."

Before Tathagata finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Jiao:

"Perhaps it can be found, but there must be a price that he is not willing to pay."

Yang Jiao had served as the ruler of the three realms in the White Snake World, so he knew that if he was willing to consume his luck and the power of heaven, he could capture traces of his true body.

But now that the numbers are obscure and unclear, the amount of luck and power of heaven required to forcefully deduce a strong person in the same realm should be unbearable by the Jade Emperor.

After all, the previous luck in heaven has been greatly reduced. Not only the Twenty-Eight Constellations and the Eight Immortals, but also the immortals and gods who are the mainstay of heaven have all died.

Even important officials like Li Jing and Nezha were not spared.

Moreover, there is a Tathagata who seems to be compassionate, but is actually watching with covetous eyes. How could he be willing to pay such a high price?

At the same time, the Jade Emperor also knew that even finding traces of him was so troublesome, and it was still unknown whether he could be completely eradicated once he was found.

The best result is just suppression and imprisonment, so how could the Jade Emperor lose a big thing because of a small thing.

Desperately consuming a lot of heavenly power and risking the collapse of heaven's fate, he went to suppress a fellow countryman who was far from his opponent.

The main reason is that there is a kind of ruthlessness, which is called kindness with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. The principle that the snipe and the clam quarrel, and the fisherman will benefit has been passed down through the ages.

"Jade Emperor and Tathagata, looking at your posture, you don't want to lose both sides. If this is the case, then so be it."

Yang Jiao looked at the two people's silent expressions and spoke first:

"Tathagata, I have completed my journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. I will no longer hinder you. Therefore, the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures can still continue, and Buddhism can still gain merit and luck from it."

"Jade Emperor, although I destroyed your heavenly army before, you have killed countless of my clones these days, so you must have vented enough anger."

"Who in the three realms doesn't know now that you and Tathagata are chasing me until I have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth,"

"Now, with the power of Heaven, I have given you an explanation to the gods in heaven."

When the two heard this, a trace of unspeakable expression appeared on their faces.

Although this is true on the surface, in the hearts of people who truly understand, their face is completely lost.

After this battle, the prestige of World Honored One Wutian may have been directly equated with theirs, but on the contrary, it made him the monkey head.

Yang Jiao obviously saw the deep meaning of their expressions:

"Jade Emperor, I let Yang Jian go back then."

"You must also know that a mere monk in the Celestial Immortal Realm has no resistance to the people in the Golden Immortal Realm, let alone being able to escape unscathed."

"Don't do anything wrong so that we can meet again in the future. Do you accept this principle?"

When he said this, he looked at Tathagata again:

"Maitreya Buddha is my master. No matter how you say it, I can be regarded as a member of the Buddhist sect. The lives of the four masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang in the Great Thunder Sound Temple that I established were just a matter of my thoughts. Now they are not harmed. Do you accept this principle?"

"Should you accept my favor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the venue was extremely quiet. After an unknown amount of time, the Jade Emperor calmly uttered one word:

"Can."

Immediately, Tathagata put his hands together:

"It's good, it's good, it's just what the donor said."

Yang Jiao touched his palm and chuckled:

"Okay, from now on, the two of me and I will not be in conflict with each other."

At this moment, the three of them knew that the verbal promises were nothing but false promises. When the time came, they would eventually have to make a pass.

In an instant, three rays of light flashed away on Mount Tai.
