Chapter 218 Buddha and the Demon
When leaving hell, Sun Wukong glanced at the verdant Cuiyun Palace on the banks of hell, this trip had made it somewhat difficult for him to discern the stance of Ksitigarbha.
Previously, when the Mosquito Daoist transformed into the likeness of Ancestor Ming He to deal with him, Ksitigarbha actually appeared and exposed the Mosquito Daoist’s identity, which helped him out.
However, when he confronted Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha, also of the four great Bodhisattvas of the Buddha Sect, did not show the slightest intention of coming to their aid, deliberately entangled with the Mosquito Daoist instead.
"Heh, old Sun is flattering himself," Sun Wukong inwardly scoffed.
The greatest likelihood was that Ksitigarbha and Ran Deng were not of the same faction, and there was also a dispute between them.
Ksitigarbha probably knew long ago that Ran Deng was recruiting people from the Asura tribe, faced with such sudden events, he knew he could not hide, nor could he refrain from taking action; after all, the Buddha Sect had to show a united front externally, so he simply tangled with the Mosquito Daoist.
At this time, Zhao Gongming and others bid farewell to Sun Wukong.
Zhao Gongming said, "Sun Wukong, let’s find an opportunity for a real fight next time. This was all thunder and no rain, not satisfying at all, especially that old lamp, Ran Deng. I want to take action every time, but never get the chance."
Sun Wukong laughed, "There’s plenty of time in the future, opportunities will abound."
Yun Xiao, Bi Xiao, and Qiong Xiao bowed to Sun Wukong.
