Sun Wukong and the other two could not help grumbling inwardly.
Although Zhen Yuanzi and the Buddhist School had never harbored any deep-seated enmity, neither crossing blades like the Interception Sect and the Chan Sect nor standing at daggers drawn like Gu Changqing and Hongjun.
Still, a little thought made it obvious...
Just who was Zhen Yuanzi?
An Ancient Mighty Expert at the peak quasi-saint realm. Though he was not among the very strongest in the Primordial World Heaven and Earth, he was still a towering figure in his own right.
The master and his three disciples were unquestionably juniors before him.
More importantly, he was a close friend of Hong Yun, the Interception Sect Deputy Leader.
Through countless ages, their friendship had remained deep and unbroken.
Zhen Yuanzi had already been on good terms with Hong Yun before the latter attained the Dao and became a Sage.
And with Hong Yun now in the Interception Sect, Zhen Yuanzi also shared karmic ties with the sect that could not be severed.
Their relationship was like tangled roots and interwoven branches, bound by a thousand threads.
One could say that although Zhen Yuanzi was not a member of the Interception Sect, few in the entire Primordial World could compare with him in the depth of his ties and the strength of his friendship with it.
How could someone so close to the Interception Sect treat these members of the Buddhist School as honored guests?
Forget honored guests. Merely refraining from shutting them out would probably count as showing consideration for the Buddhist School's dignity.
Sun Wukong carried his massive black staff over his shoulder, his golden eyes narrowing slightly as the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian exchanged a glance, each wearing a bitter smile.
