Zhao Gongming was a little confused.

They in the underworld are not soft persimmons.

The two saints from the West alone can’t do it!

Could it be that they think that Empress Pingxin and my good corpse have been silent for too long and would not care about such things?

Or do they have other reasons, and Sun Wukong’s rampage in the underworld is a test for them?
Perhaps only the two saints in the West know the answer to this question.

Zhao Gongming was too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, no matter what conspiracy the other party has against the underworld, they in the underworld will not be afraid!

He had heard from his master that Niangniang Pingxin was far more powerful than the two saints of the Western religion!
Any conspiracy or trick will be vulnerable in the face of absolute strength!
What’s more, if Niangniang Pingxin really encountered trouble, their master would not sit idly by!

Then, Zhao Gongming looked at Yunxiao and asked, “Second sister, what do you think about this?”

Yun Xiao heard this and analyzed slowly: “We, the Wuyin lineage, have no great grudges with the Western Church. Since Saint Zhunti has come to us for help, we can’t afford to offend him.

A saint is a saint after all, so it is better not to offend him if you can.

What do you think, brother?”

Zhao Gongming heard this and thought about it in his heart.

He felt that there was some truth in what Yunxiao said.

Although their master’s strength is comparable to that of Daozu, there is no guarantee that he will not leave the prehistoric world one day!
If their master left the ancient world, how would they deal with themselves after offending the saint?
Being targeted by a saint and plotted against secretly is extremely bad!
Therefore, after the analysis, Zhao Gongming also felt that this matter should not be overdone.

For the sake of Bodhisattva Cundi, let’s give that monkey another chance!
Of course, if the monkey does not repent and comes to the underworld to cause trouble again in the future, or if the Western religion dares to use conspiracy and trickery to plot against the underworld again, he will not show mercy!

As the eldest disciple of the Wuyin lineage, he is not a kind-hearted good man!

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming said to Yunxiao: “Second sister, this is what I think, do you think it’s okay?

Sun Wukong can be released, but not now.

The news of his causing chaos in the underworld has spread throughout the three realms.

There must be an explanation for this.

If we let him go like this, where will the reputation of our underworld be?

Therefore, Sun Wukong must be punished in the underworld for at least a hundred years!
This is to tell all living beings in the world that the majesty of the underworld cannot be violated!
In addition, if one wants to exchange Sun Wukong, two innate spiritual roots are not enough. At least one lotus seed of the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit is needed!
If Saint Zhunti does not agree, then let this matter drop and do not bring it up again.”

After hearing the two conditions proposed by Zhao Gongming, Yun Xiao nodded and smiled, “Brother, there is absolutely no problem with your request. It is not excessive at all! I believe that Saint Zhunti will understand!

So, my little sister is going back to report like this?”

Zhao Gongming was surprised to hear Yunxiao was in such a hurry to leave and asked, “Second sister, it’s rare for you to come back to Penglai, why don’t you stay here for a while?”

Yun Xiao heard this, shook his head and smiled, “No need, it’s the same wherever you stay.

I will report back to Haotian as soon as possible so that I can continue my cultivation.”

When Zhao Gongming heard Yunxiao say this, he no longer forced it.

Afterwards, Yunxiao turned into a stream of light and left Penglai Island.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gongming shook his head and continued his retreat.

After returning to heaven, Yunxiao immediately found Haotian and told him Zhao Gongming’s request. Haotian nodded and said to Yunxiao: “Thank you for your hard work on this trip. I will convey Zhao Gongming’s request to Saint Zhunti.”

After Yunxiao left, Haotian immediately told Zhunti about the matter.

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared on Zhunti’s face.

Zhao Gongming’s requirements were not low at all. Whether it was the innate spiritual roots or the golden lotus seeds, they were both of great value!
Judging from the surface value alone, two innate spiritual roots, plus a golden lotus seed, are worth far more than a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
But that’s not how it works. Sun Wukong is a disciple of a saint, and his own value is incomparable to that of an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Plus what he did, it was a huge mistake!
Even if Zhao Gongming didn’t let Sun Wukong go, he could do nothing about it.

Now that the other party is willing to let go is already the best outcome, it is nothing more than raising the requirements a little bit,
Compared with releasing Sun Wukong, this small request is nothing.

So, Zhunti didn’t hesitate for long and agreed.

As for Sun Wukong being suppressed in the underworld for another hundred years…

So what if it’s just a hundred years? It won’t affect the overall situation.

Afterwards, Zhunti asked Kong Xuan to go to Penglai Island in person with two innate spiritual roots and a golden lotus seed.

After arriving at Penglai Island, Kong Xuan’s eyes suddenly revealed a complex look, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Millions of years have passed and everything has changed.

The pride he had when he first came to Penglai Island had long since disappeared.

Sometimes he wondered, if he had agreed to Master Kirigakure’s request, what would the outcome be now?

Unfortunately, the past is gone and can only become a memory, and cannot be rewritten.

He shook his head in his heart, put away his distracting thoughts, and said loudly: “The Western Buddhist Peacock King Bodhisattva Kong Xuan wants to see fellow Taoist Zhao Gongming.”

Not long after Kong Xuan finished speaking, a passage emerged from the formation of Penglai Island.

At the same time, a voice came from the formation: “Daoyou, please come in.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan walked into the passage without hesitation.

Led by a Taoist boy, Kong Xuan was brought to Zhao Gongming’s side.

After the two of them greeted each other politely, Zhao Gongming said with a look of regret: “I didn’t expect that fellow Taoist would join the West. The world is unpredictable.”

Kong Xuan heard this and responded with a tone that was neither sad nor happy: “Everything is fate.”

Kong Xuan didn’t want to say more about this matter, so he took out the two innate spiritual roots and a golden lotus seed and handed them to Zhao Gongming, saying, “Daoyou, this is what the Saint Zhunti told you to do, please keep it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming took the innate spiritual roots and golden lotus seeds.

Afterwards, Kong Xuan didn’t stay long and just said goodbye and left.

Looking at Kong Xuan’s departing back, Zhao Gongming shook his head and murmured, “Kong Xuan, I hope we won’t become enemies in the future.”

Kong Xuan is extremely powerful, and even he is not absolutely sure that he can avoid the opponent’s five-colored divine light.

If the two sides become enemies in the future, there is only one possibility – the Western religion will confront the Penglai lineage.

Although this possibility is not high, the two saints in the West have always been ambitious, so it is not completely impossible.

Shaking his head, Zhao Gongming didn’t want to think about it too much. He would deal with the future later. His top priority was to kill the two corpses as soon as possible!

When his cultivation breaks through to the middle stage of Quasi-Sage, he will be able to better protect himself even if there are uncertainties in the future! (End of this chapter)
