Chapter 285 - 251: Laojun Takes in a Mount_2
From the side, the Buddha couldn’t help but snicker to himself, shaking his head in amusement, "This monkey is quite interesting."
The Tathagata wore a solemn expression, calculated with his fingers, and said, "So that’s how it is."
Wukong then asked, "So that’s how it is? Could it be that you, Buddha Ancestor, know this fellow? In the past, there were a few troublesome mounts of Bodhisattvas that nearly met their end at my hand, could it be that this Rhinoceros King is also the mount of a Bodhisattva?"
The Tathagata didn’t want to admit that this was Laojun’s mount because if Wukong just went to Doulu Palace like that, it would be bound to end in failure; Laojun would surely avoid him and not show himself.
"This bracelet is so formidable that even if I went myself, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle it! I’ll have the Eighteen Arhats go with you to take a look; if they can beat him, then beat him, if not, we’ll have to find another way," said the Tathagata.
The Green Ox Demon wielding the Vajra Bracelet would probably leave even the Buddhas battered and bruised if they went to face him. That was an ultimate Magical Treasure of the Human Teachings, capable of capturing even Innate Magical Treasures! Moreover, the Tathagata didn’t have any Primordial Magical Treasures in his possession; those were all held by The Two Saints of the West.
The Tathagata inwardly cursed Laojun for unleashing his own mount to cause havoc, but he was also out of options. With the return to the Nine Heavens imminent, he didn’t dare do anything contrary to heaven’s mandate, for if his karmic force grew too great, the Nine Heavens would find an excuse to strike him down. A barrage of Divine Thunders would then descend, and the Nine Supreme Beings arriving would reduce him to ashes in an instant!
Those Nine Supreme Beings were like nine Saints; who could withstand the combined assault of nine Saints? Even the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch arranging the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation would taste bitter defeat on the spot!
Wukong was a clever man who didn’t need any guidance; he went straight to the Tathagata.
