Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 731 - Jiang Liu Is it time to plant a mole beside Tathagata

731: Chapter 731: Jiang Liu: Is it time to plant a mole beside Tathagata?

731 -731: Jiang Liu: Is it time to plant a mole beside Tathagata?

“Hmm, I indeed know some unsettling news, but as for the specifics, I still haven’t a clue!” Jiang Liu nodded and replied.

Indeed, this feeling is the most difficult to bear.

There is a saying that one can be a thief for a thousand days, but can one guard against a thief for a thousand days?

I know that Tathagata is planning to make a move against me, but how exactly will he strike?

What method will he use?

I’m completely in the dark.

The sensation of a knife dangling over one’s neck without falling is most discomforting.

Previously, Maitreya Buddha plotted quite a bit against me, but because Yuanling was by Maitreya Buddha’s side, I could at least know Maitreya Buddha’s operational steps and thus, could prepare in advance.

“Alas, it seems that, if there’s a chance in the future, placing a spy by Tathagata’s side is most crucial!”

Thinking of Yuanling by Maitreya Buddha’s side, yet having no spy by Tathagata’s side, Jiang Liu quietly murmured to himself, a thought flashing through his mind.

Of course, inserting spies by Tathagata’s side isn’t a matter to consider now, but something for the future.

The most urgent task now is to quickly figure out how to deal with Tathagata’s plans against my healing potion.

“Although I do not yet know what means Tathagata will use, at least now I’m aware that Tathagata is going to act against me.

Forewarned is forearmed, after all!” he mused silently for a moment and then shook his head with a sigh. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Setting these troubling thoughts aside for now, Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong enjoyed a hearty barbecue meal, which they relished immensely.

…

Heavenly Court, Taiyin Star!

In Guanghan Palace, the calm was as usual, where silence remained its most distinct feature.

Fairy Chang’e, an exceedingly serene fairy and renowned as the foremost beauty in the three realms, preferred to speak less whenever possible, which lent her a tranquil aura.

Fairy Zixia also resided in Guanghan Palace.

Though somewhat more vivacious than Fairy Chang’e, she hardly had anyone besides Jade Rabbit to talk to, as talking to oneself isn’t quite the same.

Therefore, while the arrival of Fairy Zixia added some liveliness to Guanghan Palace, it didn’t really change much overall.

That day, Fairy Zixia was still playing with Jade Rabbit on the Taiyin Star.

After a while, feeling somewhat weary, Fairy Zixia sat down to rest properly.

Meanwhile, Jade Rabbit cozily nestled into Fairy Zixia’s embrace.

Holding Jade Rabbit in her arms and gently stroking its silk-like fur, Fairy Zixia’s mind wandered with myriad thoughts.

Apparently, Monkey hadn’t visited her for some days.

She wondered how far along his journey to the West he had progressed.

Had he encountered any danger on his way?

“Fairy Zixia, what are you thinking about?

Are you thinking about Sun Wukong?” Seeing Zixia deep in thought, Jade Rabbit in her arms asked.

“Jade Rabbit, ever since I came to Guanghan Palace, you particularly like playing with me.

What did you do when I wasn’t around?” Looking down at Jade Rabbit in her arms, Fairy Zixia deliberately changed the subject.

“Fairy Zixia, you have no idea!”

Hearing Zixia’s words, Jade Rabbit shifted within her embrace to get more comfortable and spoke, “When you’re not here, it’s just my master and me.

She hardly likes to talk, and I get so bored!”

With that, Jade Rabbit paused for a moment and then continued, “But thankfully, you came, Fairy Zixia.

Now I have someone to talk to and play with.

Plus, you tell me lots about the Holy Monk!”

“Right, Fairy, you haven’t told me about the Holy Monk for some days.

Could you talk about him again?” At the end of her request, Jade Rabbit’s bright red eyes gleamed with anticipation as she gazed at Zixia.

“What about it?”

Hearing Jade Rabbit’s words, Zixia shook her head slightly and said, “Haven’t you asked me about the Holy Monk numerous times?

What else is there for me to say?”

“Well, could you just repeat some of the stories you’ve already told me?” After thinking a moment, Jade Rabbit followed up.

Zixia: “…”

Zixia and Jade Rabbit talked quietly on the side, providing each other with company and alleviating their loneliness.

Elsewhere, a man who looked to be in his late twenties secretly appeared, watching from afar.

However, his attention wasn’t on Jade Rabbit and Zixia, but on Chang’e.

“You said before?

Your only target is Fairy Zixia, right?” After watching for a moment, the man turned his head to the empty space beside him and spoke.

As he spoke, the void slightly distorted.

Soon, a figure resembling a water stream appeared, semi-transparent in form.

Simultaneously, a male voice resonated.

“You resent Fairy Zixia for being here, hindering your private time with Chang’e.

Luckily, my target is Zixia.

Our cooperation is mutually beneficial!”

“Alright, let’s see what you can do!

Regarding your coming to Taiyin Star, I can turn a blind eye!” Nodding, the shadowy figure spoke.

“Alright, let’s go back!” On the other side, after Zixia had spoken to Jade Rabbit for a while and had rested sufficiently, she stood up and said.

Jade Rabbit was placed on the ground, looking lively, and hopped away.

As for Zixia?

She followed behind Jade Rabbit as she walked back.

However, she had not gone far when suddenly, Zixia felt her legs tighten, as if something had bound them.

She looked down, but there was nothing on her legs.

“What is happening?” She looked at her legs, found nothing, and felt very shocked and bewildered.

Whoosh!

But before Zixia could understand what was happening, suddenly, a great force came upon her, and she felt the world spinning as she quickly moved away from the Taiyin Star.

Ahead, the hopping and jumping Jade Rabbit seemed to sense that something was amiss and turned around to look.

But she only saw the figure of Fairy Zixia quickly vanishing into the distance.

“Hey, Fairy, where are you going?!” Jade Rabbit called out loudly to Zixia, utterly baffled.

Though Fairy Zixia had left the Taiyin Star before, she always explained herself each time, right?

Why, then, did she leave this time without even a greeting?

“This is bad, something is wrong!

Could Fairy Zixia have been kidnapped?!” In the midst of her confusion, Jade Rabbit quickly sensed that something was amiss, and panic set in.

In her panic, Jade Rabbit ran into Guanghan Palace: “This is terrible!

A serious issue!

Fairy Zixia, she’s gone, she seems to have been kidnapped!”

In Guanghan Palace, Chang’e’s face slightly changed when she heard this news.

Naturally, she took Jade Rabbit aside to carefully inquire about the matter.

Jade Rabbit then told everything about the incident to Fairy Zixia.

“Indeed, if Fairy Zixia wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have left without any notice.

Her departure is too abnormal!”

After learning of the circumstances from Jade Rabbit, Fairy Chang’e nodded in agreement, feeling that something was very amiss.

“Fairy, has something happened?” Just then, a male voice chimed in.

Suddenly, Wu Gang, holding a large ax, ran over, having just heard Jade Rabbit’s shouts.

“Wu Gang, you are responsible for the defense of the Taiyin Star, but it seems that Fairy Zixia has been abducted.

Please, think of something quickly…” Chang’e urgently spoke to the man.

“Okay, I understand.

I will definitely find Fairy Zixia!” Wu Gang nodded earnestly, showing a serious demeanor.

With that, he turned and left, seemingly to search for Zixia.

Although Wu Gang verbally agreed cheerfully and turned immediately to find her,

in reality, once he had left, he didn’t go to search.

Instead, he found a secluded spot and lay down to sleep.

…

In the sky, Fairy Zixia felt as if her limbs were bound by something, and moreover, her body was flying forward uncontrollably.

She screamed, trying to struggle, but she couldn’t break free from her restraints.

In the sky, Fairy Zixia’s form flew uncontrollably toward the distant horizon, quickly descending from the Heavenly Court to the Mortal World.

Not far away, in mid-air, the four Heavenly Kings flew calmly.

This time, the Heavenly Kings had descended to the Mortal World to execute a Demon Immortal that had troubled the human beings, a mission they had successfully accomplished; now, they were preparing to return to the Heavenly Court to report.

“Eh?

Brothers, look, isn’t that Fairy Zixia!?”

Just then, suddenly, one of the Heavenly Kings, Mo Lishou, spoke up and pointed ahead.

The other three looked in the direction where Mo Lishou was pointing.

Indeed, Fairy Zixia screamed as she flew past.

“Fairy Zixia, what happened to you?!” Mo Lishou called out loudly.

“Heavenly Kings, help me, I’ve been captured…” Seeing the Heavenly Kings there, Fairy Zixia immediately cried out for help.

“Let’s help!”

Hearing Fairy Zixia’s cries for help, the Heavenly Kings exchanged glances and immediately rushed to assist.

In the Heavenly Court, everyone knew about the relationship between Zixia and the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

After all, the Star Monarch of the Warring States was once slain by the Great Sage Equalling Heaven because of Zixia.

If they could rescue Zixia, it could perhaps count as a favor in the eyes of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
