Chapter 742 - Threat from Tang Sanzang
Chapter 742: Threat from Tang Sanzang
The second stage of the plot quest was to save Sun Wukong.
He knew from what Sun Wukong had said that he needed to find Tang Sanzang if he wanted to save him.
Back on the Divine Dominion Continent, Tang Sanzang had already disappeared. It would be quite difficult to find him.
If he was still back in the Divine Dominion Continent, he could not return and find him there.
“Huff… Shifter Emperor? When did you get here?” Just as he was thinking about where to find Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie was heading straight toward him on a cloud.
When he saw Zhu Bajie, Jiang Feng then asked curiously, “I told you to come here and wait for me, didn’t I? Where did you go?”
He didn’t see Zhu Bajie earlier when he arrived. With Zhu Bajie’s speed, there was no reason for them to be so slow.
Zhu Bajie then said, “I was stopped by a crazy little monk when I was on my way here. He told me to tell you to find him in Nuer Nation when I see you!”
“Little monk? Tang Sanzang!” When Jiang Feng heard what Zhu Bajie said, he remembered something and said it in joy.
But that joy quickly turned into suspicion as his smile disappeared.
Tang Sanzang was not that powerful. How did he manage to get to Dragonquarry? Could it be that his power as the Golden Cicada had been awakened?
Impossible. There was no such thing as an awakening in the game. Not to mention, how was he able to know where Zhu Bajie was? How did he know that Zhu Bajie was going to meet up with him?
Could he really have some prophetic abilities?
Back on the Divine Dominion Continent, he had seen firsthand little Tang Sanzang’s ability to foretell things at work. If it was true, then it would be an extremely terrifying thing.
‘Nuer Nation? Why does he want me to go to Nuer Country to look for him?’ Jiang Feng was filled with suspicion.
But the moment he remembered the reward from the second stage, he was then prepared to make a move to Nuer Nation.
There was still some distance between Five Fingers Mountain and Nuer Nation. But he could easily make his way there with his speed.
When he thought of that, he then turned to Sun Wukong and said, “Great Saint, I will have Tang Sanzang come and release you.”
Sun Wukong then nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Jiang Feng then turned to look at Zhu Bajie, Nezha, and the others and said, “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”
With that, he then headed toward Nuer Nation with the Somersault Cloud under his feet.
Nuer Nation was a beautiful place with verdant mountains and clear rivers.
This was a paradise for men. Many NPCs and players wanted to find this place but could not. The main reason being that there was a large array in front of Nuer Nation. Heavy mist clouded the array, and there were many monsters within it.
Those who were weak would not survive if they were to enter.
However, the mist and the array were a waste of effort when used against someone like Jiang Feng.
Thanks to his mastery in the Space Demesne, he was able to ignore them using Space Fold as he flew into the mist and array.
Once he had managed to fly through the array and heavy mist, he had then arrived in Nuer Nation.
Nuer Nation was quite small, with a population of around 8,000. All of them were women, but they were all very quaint and beautiful.
As he was still in the folded space, no one could see him.
“Shifter Emperor, I shall wait for you next to the Zimu River!” As soon as he had reached Zimu, Tang Sanzang’s voice then entered his ears.
He frowned slightly and opened the map. He gave it a glance, confirmed where the Zimu River was, and quickly flew toward it.
The Zimu River was located at the back of Nuer Nation. It was said that those who drink from the Zimu River would become pregnant. While this was just a game, Jiang Feng did not know whether this setting existed or not. If the setting did exist, then he had to be careful. If he accidentally had a mouthful from the Zimu River, he would lose all his dignity.
There was a small pagoda near the Zimu River. Within the pagoda, a handsome little monk was sitting on a stone stool within the pagoda, playing with a teapot on the stone table.
Whoosh!
Jiang Feng then suddenly appeared and sat opposite of Tang Sanzang with a teleportation skill. He asked curiously, “Little Monk, how did your power increase so quickly? Also, how did you know that Zhu Bajie was going to the Five Fingers Mountain, and that he would be meeting me?”
Tang Sanzang smiled and gave him a cup of tea. “Would you believe me if I told you that I guessed it?”
He did not accept the tea from Tang Sanzang and stared right into his eyes. He said, “Tell me then. What must I do so that you would save Sun Wukong?”
It was of utmost importance for him to save Sun Wukong first. Since Tang Sanzang called him here, he must have wanted something from him. He did not have the time to play any mind tricks with him, and so he asked him directly.
Tang Sanzang sipped from a cup and then put it down. He said, “Since you went straight to the point, then I suppose I shall do so as well. I want the blood pool you took from Tathagata’s microworld!”
“How did you know about that?!” Jiang Feng was shocked.
Only Zhu Bajie knew that he had obtained the blood pool from Tathagata’s microworld, but he did not believe that he would tell Tang Sanzang about it. If it was not Zhu Bajie, then how did he know about it?
Also, why did he want the blood pool?
“The blood pool is the evilest of creation in this entire world. It is not safe in your hands. Leave it with me. If you are willing to give me the blood pool, I will immediately help you release Sun Wukong.”
“Hoho,” Jiang Feng laughed. He did not know why Tang Sanzang knew about the blood pool and did not know why he wanted it, but he knew that this Tang Sanzang in front of him was quite dangerous.
“You should know that in this world, other than Tathagata, only I can save Sun Wukong. If you give me the Blood Pool, you can do whatever you want after you save him. I will not stop you!” Tang Sanzang said.
“That means that if I don’t give it to you, you are going to stop me from attacking the Heavenly Palace?” Jiang Feng said with a cold smile.
“Something like that.” Tang Sanzang nodded with a smile of his own.
“You can try.” Jiang Feng stood up without showing any expression on his face. Just as he had stood up, he then remembered something and said, “Don’t think that Tathagata and you are the only ones that can save Sun Wukong. I can, too!” He then stepped on the cloud and flew away.
“Leaving? Not so soon!” Jiang Feng had just flown for a brief moment when a gigantic palm appeared right in front of him and shattered the space in front of him, stopping him.
“Shifter Emperor, we are friends after all. The blood pool is useless to you. If you are willing to give me the blood pool, I can give you some treasures!” Tang Sanzang then stepped into the air and walked toward Jiang Feng with an innocent smile.
Jiang Feng looked at him with a frown.
Tang Sanzang had easily shattered space itself with one attack. He could not even escape with his Space Fold. He was extremely powerful. He guessed that he must be at the same level as Tathagata.
If not, it would not be possible for him to make him stay.
But from the looks of how anxious he was to have his hands on the blood pool, it meant that it must contain a great secret.
The more he acted that way, the more Jiang Feng would deny him the blood pool.
“Oh? Treasure? There are very few treasures that are worthy of my time now. I wonder what kind of treasures you mean?” Jiang Feng did not immediately turn against him. He wanted to see what kind of treasure Tang Sanzang was talking about.
With a smile, he waved his hand behind him.
Next, the peak of a mountain next to the Zimu River cracked open from the center, and it slowly pulled open.
There were many thick chains in the middle of the mountain peak. They were all chaining a child with blood all over him. He was in the Fatigue and Severely Injured status, and he only had a little bit of Sacred Health left.
Jiang Feng instantly transformed into his red-eyes silver-haired form when he saw the child, his eyes instantly started bleeding!
“Modi!”
