Boyue Cave.
Yellow Robe Monster's face turned ashen, and his heart leaped into his throat.
His life was now in the hands of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva Lingji.
"Give us a little more time to discuss this!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva said with a grim expression.
Yellow Robe Monster was a hot potato. Letting him live would offend Tang Sanzang, but killing him would entangle them in the karmic consequences.
They were caught between a rock and a hard place. Either way, they'd be in the wrong!
"Amitabha! Yellow Robe Monster urged Baihua Xiu to take my master's virginity, causing him to break his vow against sexual misconduct. Now the ominous rules are eroding the nine lifetimes of merit within him. Are you two Bodhisattvas really going to let Yellow Robe Monster get away with it?"
"If that's the case, there's no point in making this pilgrimage. We can all go our separate ways. Besides, my wife is still waiting for me at Gao Family Village..."
Zhu Bajie, the greatest master of verbal attacks, immediately grilled Manjushri Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva Lingji.
The two were left speechless, exchanging helpless looks.
Just then,
Tang Sanzang began foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
"Master, you can't die..."
Huanglong and Sha Heshang roared in unison. They held Tang Sanzang in their arms and channeled their magic power into him, but he was clearly exhausted and couldn't get past the hurdle in his heart. His Dao heart seemed to be crumbling.
Of course, this was all Tang Sanzang putting on an act on the spot.
"What are we going to do?"
"Alas..."
Zhu Bajie let out a long sigh, shook his hands, and flopped down onto the ground in dejection.
All five members of the pilgrimage were superb actors.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva Lingji exchanged a glance.
