Don't Fight Anymore

Ksitigarbha, Maitreya.

These two major figures of the Great Thunderclap Temple had never appeared.

Yet in this world, there was no doubt that they existed.

When Tang Luo had gone to the Underworld and used the Mirror of Reincarnation to search for Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, the Ten Yama Kings' first reaction had been to summon King Ksitigarbha—so they could go out and get beaten up.

So who was the mastermind behind the scenes?

Tang Luo looked at Golden Cicada—*It's you,
