Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 327: Returning to Jade Column Cave

It was equivalent to throwing the trouble to him, and if he didn’t attend, he would inevitably be labeled as fearing the might of Buddhism, so he had no choice but to go!

Moreover, his hatred for Buddhism also made him unwilling to shrink back.

"Don’t worry, I won’t have any issues," Yang Jian assured.

No matter what, he was now a Daluo Golden Immortal and had awakened two heaven-defying Divine Skills from Shopkeeper Chen, plus his status as the Chief disciple of the third generation in the Chan School, backed by two Saints.

Who would dare to act tough? Buddhism?

A cold sneer formed in Yang Jian’s heart, when his cultivation reached its peak, he would definitely stir up trouble in Spirit Mountain, slaughter these Buddhas, and exact vengeance for the murder of his mother!

The former him neither had the aptitude nor the correct target, always believing that his uncle Haotian was the main culprit.

Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared, and the deficit in aptitude was simply remedied by Shopkeeper Chen with a bowl of beef noodles, elevating it to Twenty-Seven Grades of Blossoming!

Furthermore, by continually dining with Shopkeeper Chen, acquiring various Divine Skills, his future potential was far beyond what it was before.

Conquering Spirit Mountain was not an illusion!

Yang Jian collected his thoughts, calming his state of mind—this was not something he could achieve at present.

Suddenly, Yang Jian thought of something and asked, "Where did Xiaotian Dog go?"

"Who knows?" Yang Chan rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"He disappeared after you guys came back last time; maybe he’s off causing trouble somewhere again!"

Yang Jian: "..."

This Xiaotian Dog was never steady, and for some reason, Yang Jian always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The theft of Uncle Master Yun Zhongzi’s Magical Treasure, there must be some connection with Xiaotian.

After all, the evidence discovered at the scene was a dog paw print, and given that Xiaotian Dog’s current occupation involved treasure hunting in the Three Realms, suspicions could not be avoided.

When Xiaotian returns, he would definitely give him a thorough test!

Zhongnan Mountain, Jade Column Cave.

Yun Zhongzi, who had just sent off the Buddhist envoy, sat pondering deeply—he truly did not expect Buddhism to invite him?

Though, he did not want to go. Had it been any other time, he might have been interested in joining the merriment.

But now, his cave abode had just been burglarized, and he did not feel at ease!

If thieves were successful once more, how could he, Yun Zhongzi, hold his head up in the Three Realms?

As he pondered, inspiration struck Yun Zhongzi like a flash, and his eyes suddenly brightened—right!

He might not attend, but he could use this occasion to deceive these people!

After all, there’s an adage about thieves not being on guard all days, but victims can’t guard every day. If he could seize an opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop, wouldn’t that be splendid?

With this thought, Yun Zhongzi could no longer sit still; he left the cave, used his Great Magical Power to summon all the spiritual entities of Zhongnan Mountain before him.

Although Yun Zhongzi was a member of the Chan School, he had a mild temperament and was not as strict as his School with the standards of teaching Dharma, somewhat similar to Jie School’s indiscriminate teaching style.

However, he was not completely without discrimination; Yun Zhongzi would often preach on the mountainsides. He did not require aptitude, but he did expect a certain nature.

He would not allow murderers, tyrants, or arrogant people to listen to his teachings.

Looking at the gathered spiritual beings, Yun Zhongzi waved his horsetail whisk and announced loudly, "I am going to attend the banquet hosted by Buddhism and will be away for a few days. You must all concentrate on your cultivation and must not behave recklessly!"

"We will adhere to the Immortal’s Dharma decree!" The spiritual beings bowed repeatedly, and those that had refined the Transverse Bone spoke out loud.

They regarded Yun Zhongzi as a Saint in their hearts.

Without the blessing of Great Immortal Yun Zhongzi, they might still be oblivious wild beasts in the mountains.

Yun Zhongzi nodded his head and departed on a cloud. He intentionally exaggerated his actions to perform for the one lurking in the shadows.

If someone still had the intention to steal, they would definitely be watching from the dark, but he would only find a place not too far away to rest temporarily.

He had already added an extremely concealed trigger formation in his cave abode; if any thieves dared to come again, they would definitely not be able to escape.

Just as Yun Zhongzi had thought, a pair of thieving eyes was staring at the concealment formation and watching from the bushes.

Seeing Yun Zhongzi ride the clouds away, the figure hurriedly stood up, a chubby black face, clothed in a yellow daoist robe—it was Xiong Daoren.

Xiong Daoren hurried to a cave, stepped right in, and shouted at the silhouette inside, "Peng, Yun Zhongzi has left!"

"He left?" Tian Peng was taken aback, "Do you know where he went?"

"I just saw him talking to the spirit beast of Zhongnan Mountain about attending a Buddhist banquet!" Xiong Daoren replied truthfully.

So that was it, Tian Peng nodded.

As a marshal, he knew about this Buddhist banquet, which was something Buddhism had created to compete with the Heavenly Court’s Flat Peach Banquet.

So, did this mean an opportunity had arrived?

A joy rose in Tian Peng’s heart.

He had thought it would take a long time to find an opportunity, but he hadn’t expected such a fortuitous coincidence!

Turning his head, he looked at Xiaotian Dog, still sound asleep and snoring beside him, and Tian Peng’s face was lined with irritation as he kicked him twice.

"Aren’t you going to get up?"

"What? What’s happening? Is it mealtime?!" Xiaotian Dog suddenly woke up, saliva splattering everywhere as he rose.

He had been dreaming of eating at the Chaos Residence!

Shopkeeper Chen was about to serve that fragrant roasted lamb leg right in front of him; he was so tantalized!

"Mealtime? I think you look more like the meal!" Tian Peng rolled his eyes, "We’ve got work! You just lie around and do nothing all day here."

"Was it you who found us, or us who found you?" Tian Peng was utterly speechless.

He had never seen a dog lazier than Xiaotian Dog, who had actively proposed stealing treasures from Yun Zhongzi’s cave abode, yet did nothing and left all the worrying to him and Daoren!

Xiaotian Dog grinned sheepishly, "Isn’t it all the same?"

"We’re a team, right? Why split hairs?"

"Give me a break," Tian Peng’s mouth twitched, "When it’s time to divide the treasures, I don’t see you talking like that."

Xiaotian Dog chuckled and didn’t continue the thread.

He quickly changed the subject, "Tian Peng, what were you talking about just now?"

"Yun Zhongzi has left, we can make a move now!" Tian Peng declared.

Upon hearing these words, Xiaotian Dog’s sleepiness vanished completely, and he eagerly stood up.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s steal!" Xiaotian Dog kicked off, ready to dash out.

But after running a couple of steps, he realized no one was following him; puzzled, he turned around, squinting at Tian Peng, "What are you all waiting for? Let’s go!"

Time to snatch the treasures!

"Do you think it’s that simple?" Tian Peng scoffed lightly, "After being stolen from once, do you think Yun Zhongzi wouldn’t take some precautions?"

Xiong Daoren nodded and interjected at the right time, "Before I left, I saw a bunch of spirit beasts around the cave entrance; if we go now, wouldn’t we be stealing right under their noses?"

"So what do you suggest we do? We can’t just keep waiting, can we?" Xiaotian Dog shook his head; he didn’t want to miss this chance.

When a powerful being goes into closed-door cultivation, it could easily be for a hundred years; if they missed this time, who knows how long they would have to wait!

"Yun Zhongzi has just left, and we sneak in?" Tian Peng looked at Xiaotian Dog like he was looking at a fool, "He hasn’t even gone far! If anything goes wrong, we’d have nowhere to run!"

That could be a Quasi-Saint we’re dealing with!

"At the very least, we should wait a day. Yun Zhongzi is only going to prepare today; the Buddhist banquet doesn’t start until tomorrow!" As a marshal, Tian Peng had a good understanding of these kinds of events.

He hadn’t returned to his abode recently, and he wondered if he would be invited.
