Several years later.
A vast procession appeared on the distant horizon.
It slowly approached India, which was no longer far away.
Upon the towering Spiritual Mountain.
Guanyin reported to Buddha with a solemn expression:
"World Honored One, Tang Sanzang is about to enter Spiritual Mountain's territory..."
"Although the demon army under his command has not slaughtered innocents indiscriminately, it has still caused no small amount of trouble for residents everywhere. Should we act in advance?"
After a brief silence, Buddha replied:
"Act. If he truly leads those demons into India, then the reputation we have cultivated for countless years will truly be swept completely down the drain..."
Having said that, he continued with his instructions:
"You will mainly deal with those demons, while Tang Sanzang will be dealt with by me. I want to see just how capable that unfilial disciple of mine truly is..."
Clearly, even with his temperament.
He could not help but harbor some grievances toward Tang Sanzang.
Even though he knew that the other party was being influenced against his will by Supreme Jade Heaven Void-Nether Mystical True White Emperor.
More or less, he still wanted to vent his anger...
However, he also understood.
With Supreme Jade Heaven Void-Nether Mystical True White Emperor's intentions unclear and him unwilling to communicate with them, not only had Spiritual Mountain's Journey to the West Plan already been completely swept down the drain, but even their remaining dignity—he did not know how much of it could be preserved...
Thinking of certain crucial points.
He could not help but secretly sigh inwardly.
What exactly is that being trying to do...
Why is he making things so difficult for us, yet never directly taking action...
As though he is testing something...
Then, unable to think of a reason.
His brows furrowed slightly.
