Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1023: If You Seek Revenge, You May Go to the Ming Sect

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: If You Seek Revenge, You May Go to the Ming Sect

"Empress, you’re really stingy. What kind of things can’t be shared with everyone? You even have to speak quietly..." Sun Wukong, seeing a fairy approaching and whispering to the Empress’s ear, couldn’t help but comment.

"You rascal monkey, we’re discussing women’s topics. Do you want to know as well?" Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Empress quickly responded and questioned him with a glance.

"No, I, Old Sun, don’t want to know about these topics!" Sun Wukong hurriedly waved his hand.

Topics among daughters? Just hearing it, Sun Wukong found it really troublesome.

Jiang Liu glanced at the Empress and didn’t say much, but secretly pondered in his heart.

Actually, this fairy coming over should be reporting to the Empress about the result of killing Long Eyebrow True Man in the mortal world, right?

Seeing the Empress’s appearance, she indeed seemed happy, so does this mean she feels her objective has been achieved?

Character board!

After glancing at the Empress, Jiang Liu then shifted his gaze to the fairy beside her, silently reciting in his heart ’character board’, and a semi-transparent character board appeared before his eyes.

Naturally, what Jiang Liu cared most about was the level information of this fairy.

The level displayed on the character board was surprisingly as high as level 83, just like himself.

"It seems that this fairy should be the most trusted confidant of the Empress? Level 83? Great Luo Golden Immortal level cultivation!" After looking at the character board of this fairy, Jiang Liu silently murmured in his heart.

According to Sha Wujing’s words, there were two people who attacked the Lower Realm, the first was a man, the second one did not speak, unknown if male or female.

So, despite having lured myself, Wukong, and Bajie away, the Empress still sent two Great Luo Golden Immortals to the Lower Realm?

Does the Empress view Long Eyebrow as a must-kill target? Or is the Empress always this thorough in her actions?

For the Empress, the reason for keeping Jiang Liu and the others in the Heavenly Court was to create an opportunity to kill Long Eyebrow.

Now, since the Empress believes that what she needed to do has been accomplished, naturally, she no longer had the mind to keep Jiang Liu and the others in the Heavenly Court.

After strolling around the Glycyrrhiza Garden and looking at the so-called Dreamlike Udambara Flower, Jiang Liu spoke to the Empress to take his leave.

It was only then that the Empress and others did not intend to keep Jiang Liu further.

As expected, Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong returned together, Zixia and Sun Wukong having been unaware of the real purpose of this Heavenly Court visit, so they had fun, and then Zixia returned to Guanghan Palace.

The master and disciple walked together, heading back to the mortal world, Jiang Liu standing on the auspicious cloud, naturally pondering over the implications of this incident and what he should do next.

Sun Wukong wasn’t so attentive, therefore, he didn’t notice anything unusual about Jiang Liu.

Instead, he engaged Jiang Liu in a detailed conversation about his impressions of the flowers and plants at Glycyrrhiza Garden.

Soon, the master and disciple returned to Long Eyebrow Temple, where they could see that Long Eyebrow True Man’s injuries were still severe, sitting quietly with a pale face.

"Master! It’s all my fault!" Seeing Jiang Liu return, Sha Wujing stepped forward with a guilty expression on his face.

With the master, the senior brother, and the second senior brother all gone, Sha Wujing felt he was obviously responsible for the Journey to the West for the Scriptures team.

Since Long Eyebrow True Man was killed right in front of him, Sha Wujing naturally felt it was his responsibility.

"Huh? Did something happen here?" Looking at Long Eyebrow’s severe injuries and the traces of fighting at Long Eyebrow Temple, Sun Wukong, who was slightly slow to realize, finally asked.

"It’s okay, you all did your best!" Hearing Sha Wujing’s words of self-blame, Jiang Liu shook his head and said.

With two Great Luo Golden Immortal level powerhouses descending to the Lower Realm, Sha Wujing and the others couldn’t stop them, which Jiang Liu found understandable.

"Senior brother, this is how things happened..." Hearing Sun Wukong’s inquiry, evidently unaware of what had taken place, Little White Dragon spoke up and briefly explained the start and end of the event to Sun Wukong.

Chirp chirp chirp...

Hearing Little White Dragon’s explanation, Sun Wukong’s face was filled with intense anger, scratching his ears and cheeks in frustration, and said, "So, this was all a Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain tactic? Someone intentionally drew us away to target you? It’s truly despicable to have plotted against me, Old Sun!"

Even with Sun Wukong’s slow realization, upon hearing that someone acted as soon as they left, he understood that they had fallen into a Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain trap.

As for who was behind it? After some thought, Sun Wukong had his suspicions.

With a reach into his ear, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was in his hand. By his appearance, it seemed he was ready to charge into Lingxiao Hall.

"Alright, Wukong, easy now!" Seeing Sun Wukong’s impatient demeanor, Jiang Liu spoke, stopping Sun Wukong’s action.

Immediately, Jiang Liu looked over, noticing Long Eyebrow True Man’s health point was only half, and the White Mouse Demon’s health point was around halfway too. Clearly, both sides were injured.

Jiang Liu raised his hand and cast the Healing Holy Hand skill, with a holy object descending from the sky, invisible waves spreading out, making the injuries of White Mouse Demon and Long Eyebrow True Man rapidly heal.

Following the Healing Holy Hand skill, the wounds of the two were mostly recovered.

Jiang Liu then sequentially cast the Guanyin Mantra skill on both Long Eyebrow and the White Mouse Demon.

Finally, Jiang Liu’s gaze fell onto Long Eyebrow, saying, "True Man, my apologies, after you fell unconscious, it was my duty to protect your safety, yet an assassin struck!"

"Speaking of that, I must thank you, Master, had it not been for your friend’s intervention, bringing me back, I would undoubtedly have faced death," Long Eyebrow True Man expressed gratitude instead of blame towards Jiang Liu.

After all, Jiang Liu had long given him ten drops of blood, and by rights, the transaction should have ended.

With his divine soul injured, Xuanzang caring for him was out of sentiment and not duty.

After his death, Master Xuanzang efficiently resurrected him, naturally needing proper thanks.

"True Man, do you have any plans ahead?" Jiang Liu did not respond to Long Eyebrow’s gratitude but, after brief silence, questioned Long Eyebrow.

"Well..." Upon Jiang Liu’s inquiry, hesitation marked Long Eyebrow’s face, momentarily unsure of how to answer.

Perhaps, concerning what to do next, Long Eyebrow hadn’t fully considered it.

"True Man, heed my words, the Empress holds high power, while your cultivation level is indeed extraordinary, yet you are solitary, so it’s inadvisable to become rivals..." Jiang Liu inwardly wished to recruit Long Eyebrow True Man, but such words couldn’t be spoken directly, hence he used kind advice to probe Long Eyebrow.

"Hahaha..."

Yet, after hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Long Eyebrow laughed aloud, shaking his head and saying, "Master, your words are utterly meaningless. The situation has reached this point, even if I don’t seek revenge on the Empress, do you think she would spare me?"

Long Eyebrow’s eyes fixed on Jiang Liu, analyzing as he spoke, "The grudge between the Empress and me was formed long ago. Previously, she didn’t act only because my lifespan was low, making action unnecessary."

"But now, knowing I’ve extended my life, especially when she contributed a part to this longevity, accepting is impossible, thus she opted for assassination!"

"Yet, although the attempt was successful, I resurrected! Since the mask is off, even if I claim not to seek revenge, the Empress wouldn’t believe it!"

"Moreover, the death of Immortals and Buddhas leaves lost souls in Ksitigarbha’s hands, and resurrection is many times harder than ordinary people. Even the Jade Emperor, alleged to be the Three Realms’ lord, cannot casually resurrect individuals."

"However, I resurrected against all odds. Even without personal vendetta, surely, the Empress would want to discover how I resurrected!"

"Thus, Master, though your kind advice may truly be meant for my good, it doesn’t serve any purpose for me!"

Upon saying this, Long Eyebrow paused slightly, earnestly regarding Jiang Liu, "But, Master, rest assured, whatever the future holds, I will never disclose matters connecting my resurrection to you!"

Long Eyebrow True Man’s analysis was intricate and elaborate. Listening to his reasoning, Jiang Liu had no intention to interrupt.

Certainly, within his analysis, Jiang Liu understood Long Eyebrow’s intent—this feud wouldn’t be simply forgiven.

"Amitabha, so True Man’s intent is to fight against the entire Heavenly Court, alone?" As Long Eyebrow’s words ended, Jiang Liu followed up with a question.

"The Heavenly Court’s power is indeed vast, more than a lone person can contend against, but being alone has its advantages. If I only aim for revenge and to bring trouble to the Heavenly Court, I believe not just anyone could stop me!" Long Eyebrow True Man replied.

"So, you’re planning to wage a one-man guerrilla warfare against the Heavenly Court?" Upon hearing Long Eyebrow’s words, Jiang Liu understood Long Eyebrow’s thoughts.

"Actually, True Man, if you are truly determined to struggle against the Heavenly Court, I have a place to recommend!" Jiang Liu spoke to Long Eyebrow.

"Oh? Where might that be?" Long Eyebrow inquired curiously.

"Ming Sect!"
