Chi Yao watched Tathagata Buddha leave with Tang Sanzang.
Then she looked at Hun Xiu.
She could not help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
The Buddhist Sect of today was no longer the Western Sect of the past.
Even the Heavenly Court did not dare to provoke it lightly.
In Chi Yao's view, Hun Xiu releasing Tang Sanzang was the best possible outcome!
This way,
it was good for both sides.
The current Three Realms were no longer the Primordial World of ancient times.
They could not withstand too much turmoil.
Tathagata Buddha brought Tang Sanzang back to Spirit Mountain.
Although Hun Xiu had released Tang Sanzang,
and he had briefly examined Tang Sanzang in Jade Pool Hall, finding nothing seriously wrong with him,
Tathagata Buddha was still uneasy.
Tang Sanzang was the key figure of the Journey to the West.
Nothing could be allowed to go wrong.
Hun Xiu had returned Tang Sanzang so "easily," and that made him very uneasy.
Tathagata Buddha examined him again and again.
From the outside in.
From the inside out.
Only after confirming that Hun Xiu had not tampered with Tang Sanzang did Tathagata Buddha finally let out a slight sigh of relief, his hanging heart settling back into place.
Could it be that I judged a gentleman by the standards of a petty man? Is Haotian really not that kind of person? Did he truly not tamper with Tang Sanzang?
Tang Sanzang was fine.
Tathagata Buddha took Tang Sanzang to Shuangcha Ridge and erased a portion of his memories. Tang Sanzang only remembered being captured by the Tiger Demon.
Then Taibai Jinxing descended from the sky like a Peerless Hero and saved him.
After that,
he continued westward.
As Tang Sanzang continued west, Guanyin Bodhisattva watched from the shadows.
