Lin Tian headed back to Spirit Vine City. On his way, he spotted a Daoist approaching on a cloud. It was none other than Kunpeng.
Lin Tian immediately asked, "Where are you headed, Senior Kunpeng?"
When Kunpeng saw Lin Tian, profound jealousy flashed in his eyes. Then he said, "I never expected to encounter Vine Dao Venerable! I have some business to attend to!"
With a faint, knowing smile, Lin Tian said, "I see. Could it be that you have your sights set on the Great Dao Laws too, Senior Kunpeng?"
"You! Hmph! And what if I do?"
Lin Tian chuckled. "Even my grandfather failed. Do you think you can succeed, Senior?"
"Hmph, Minghe is Minghe, and I am myself. How can we be lumped together? Am I not allowed to try my hand? Even if I cannot get them, I can still extort some Spirit Stones!"
Lin Tian grinned. "Excellent. Then I can give Tathagata a loan when the time comes. Wouldn't that be splendid?"
Kunpeng burst into delighted laughter. "Ha ha, ha ha! Wonderful! Without you, I couldn't even carry out my plan. You're already the Seventh Saint. You won't snatch my fortuitous opportunity, will you?"
Lin Tian shook his head. "No, certainly not! Rest assured, Senior Kunpeng!"
"Good, very good!" Satisfied, Kunpeng bid Lin Tian farewell and flew toward the Western Lands, presumably to plot Tang Monk's capture!
Lin Tian could only shake his head helplessly. Leaving those matters aside, he returned to Spirit Vine City first.
When he arrived at Jiejiao's Formation Shop, he discovered that Yunxiao and Holy Mother Wudang had already returned.
Lin Tian walked in and asked curiously, "Martial Aunt Wudang, Martial... Aunt Yunxiao, how did your meeting with Saint Tongtian go? He must have been overjoyed, right?"
Hearing Lin Tian hesitate again
