Chapter 215: Arguing with Ran Deng
Sun Wukong had never seen these two monks before, but just from their appearance and attire, he could tell that their standing in the Buddhist order was not low, possibly akin to that of a Bodhisattva or a Supreme One.
However, with his current strength and status, he was not inclined to show them any courtesy.
Just now, when the three Demon Kings and the three Asura Kings attacked him with the might of the Blood River Great Formation, these two monks did not step in to intervene.
Now, witnessing the enemy’s defeat and sensing an unfavorable turn of events, they finally stepped forward to preach about Heaven’s virtue of valuing all life.
Clearly there was an issue!
He had previously suspected that the Jing River Dragon King’s soul was hidden here, a sign that the Buddha Sect’s influence had already extended into the Asura clan.
Today, it seemed that these two monks were indeed part of that reaching hand.
At this moment, the three Demon Kings and three Asura Kings, along with many strong members of the Asura clan, and others like the King of Hell retreating to the edge of the underworld, were all watching Sun Wukong, as well as Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with fierce light as he stared coldly at the two, "And who might you monks be? Such lack of propriety — even Sakyamuni Tathagata would have to call me Ziwei Great Emperor when he sees me."
Manjusri Bodhisattva said with a smile, "I am Manjusri. In Buddhism, it is said that all sentient beings are equal."
