Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 714: The Truth Revealed

Finding it strange, Jiang Liu thought for a moment, opened his friends list, and sent a message to Yuanling.

"Holy Monk, I, I am not in any life-threatening danger right now, but, but Maitreya Buddha, his left arm has been chopped off!" As soon as Jiang Liu's message was sent, Yanling promptly replied.

From the message, Jiang Liu could clearly feel the shock in Yuanling's heart.

Maitreya Buddha's left arm had actually been chopped off!?

Kunpeng was indeed a man of few words but severe actions.

"What's your location now? Just give me a rough idea, don't worry, if you die, I can resurrect you!" Although also feeling shocked inside, Jiang Liu still comforted Yuanling, while he spoke.

"I, I am not very sure, I only remember that after leaving, we flew eastward, probably over ten thousand li…" Yuanling couldn't specify the exact location and could only provide a rough direction to Jiang Liu.

"Heading east, about ten thousand li? I got it!" Muttering silently in his mind and nodding, Jiang Liu responded to Yuanling.

While talking, Jiang Liu spoke to Sun Wukong, telling Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing to wait where they were.

Immediately thereafter, Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong rose into the air and flew toward Yuanling's location.

Of course, while flying, Jiang Liu also shot a video call to Yuanling's side.

One reason was to see as much as possible where they were currently located, and the other was to see what the situation was now like in the fight between Kunpeng and Maitreya Buddha.

After the video call was sent, it soon connected, and Jiang Liu could see Yuanling's current situation.

The destruction caused by the battle between two Quasi-Saints, was naturally beyond words.

From the video, it was clear to see that it indeed had the ferocity of the sky falling and the earth splitting.

Of course, from the situation, it was completely apparent that Kunpeng, with his 100-level, Blue Quality strength, completely overwhelmed Maitreya Buddha.

Even holding the Witch-Slaying Sword, Kunpeng was utterly dominant, leaving Maitreya Buddha in a state of utter exhaustion.

Although both were Quasi-Saints, the huge gap in levels meant that Kunpeng was thoroughly overpowering Maitreya Buddha, who, with an arm severed, was no match for Kunpeng.

In the end, several Dharma Treasures were directly shattered by the Witch-Slaying Sword.

Maitreya Buddha was naturally completely subdued.?

The Witch-Slaying Sword pressed directly against Maitreya Buddha's neck, causing him to stiffen like he was under an Immobilization Technique, unable to move at all.

The sharp, cold blade against his neck, the icy sensation, even made goosebumps appear on Maitreya Buddha's body.

However, although terrified, seeing that Kunpeng was just pressing the sword blade against him and not immediately being merciless, Maitreya Buddha's heart slightly relaxed.

"Hand it over!" The Witch-Slaying Sword pressing against him, Kunpeng coldly said.

"Hand it over!? Hand over what!?" Kunpeng's words still left Maitreya Buddha completely baffled.

This wasn't the first time Kunpeng had said this, but he really couldn't understand at all.

Out of nowhere, what was he supposed to hand over!?

"Hmph, still being stubborn at the doorstep of death?" With a cold snort, Kunpeng's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Given the situation, my life is in your hands. What do you want? How can I possibly refuse? But if you want something from me, please make it clear!" Clutching at his severed left arm, Maitreya Buddha, looking pained and weak, spoke to Kunpeng.

"Alright, if you insist on playing dumb, then let me put it straight to you!"

Seeing that Maitreya Buddha was on his deathbed yet still unwilling to admit the truth, Kunpeng's brows furrowed slightly. It wasn't in front of a crowd, so he could now speak openly.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

Kunpeng's expression was serious as he stared at Maitreya Buddha and uttered these four words.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi!?" Hearing Kunpeng's words, Maitreya Buddha's eyes widened, even forgetting the pain from his severed arm, and he looked shockingly at Kunpeng.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi? How could I possibly have the Hongmeng Purple Qi? Are you mistaken about something?" Maitreya Buddha, wearing a bitter smile, looked at Kunpeng and spoke.

Well, it makes sense why Kunpeng would take action against him over something like the Hongmeng Purple Qi; it seemed like a vendetta as serious as the killing of a father or the stealing of a wife.

If it were for Hongmeng Purple Qi, that would be understandable.

But I really don't have anything like the Hongmeng Purple Qi in my possession.

"Hmph, are you still trying to argue? This is the evidence!"

Holding Yuanling by one hand, Kunpeng was incredulous that Maitreya Buddha was still arguing even at this crucial point, and thus he threw Yuanling beside Maitreya Buddha.

"Evidence? What evidence? How could Yuanling possibly be related to Hongmeng Purple Qi?" Watching Kunpeng's action, Maitreya Buddha looked even more puzzled, his doubts only multiplying.

"What? Buddha, what is Hongmeng Purple Qi?" Now beside Maitreya Buddha, Yuanling, still very respectful, helped the fallen Buddha up and asked him in confusion.

Firstly, Yuanling genuinely didn't know what Hongmeng Purple Qi was.

Secondly, Yuanling also thought Master Xuanzang might not know, so he took it upon himself to ask, which can be considered as asking on behalf of Master Xuanzang.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi must be an extremely powerful object to cause such a life-and-death struggle between Kunpeng and Maitreya Buddha.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi!?"

However, Yuanling was overthinking; Jiang Liu not only knew what Hongmeng Purple Qi was but also understood it very well.

Thus, after hearing Kunpeng's words, Jiang Liu was even more shocked.

Hongmeng Purple Qi, wasn't that divided up by six saints even before the ancient battle between witches and demons?

Why? Why bring up the issue of Hongmeng Purple Qi now?

"Kunpeng, what are you talking about? How would I have something like Hongmeng Purple Qi?" Ignoring Yuanling's question, Maitreya Buddha focused instead on Kunpeng and asked incredulously.

Indeed, how could he possess something like the Hongmeng Purple Qi? Maitreya Buddha was truly puzzled as to why Kunpeng would think that way.

"He really doesn't know? That's impossible, right?" Seeing that Maitreya Buddha still appeared clueless even at this point, indicating total ignorance, even Kunpeng internally felt astonished.

At this time, any further concealment by Maitreya Buddha seemed pointless, didn't it?

"Since you want to know, let me explain clearly!" Seeing Maitreya Buddha's bewildered and inquiring gaze, Kunpeng paused for a moment before speaking.

"Back then, Ancestor Hongyun, carrying the last trace of Hongmeng Purple Qi, was coveted by countless individuals. Everyone knew that Ancestor Hongyun was killed, and that last trace of Hongmeng Purple Qi also disappeared without a trace, deemed to have vanished..."

"However, few people knew that, at that time, our Demon Clan successfully acquired that wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi from Ancestor Hongyun!"

"Unfortunately, fate is cruel, and destiny decreed that our Demon Clan would perish in the great catastrophe; naturally, how could it allow the Demon Clan's Emperor to attain the status of a Venerable Sage?"

"Thus, even after obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Eastern Emperor Taiyi could not become a saint."

"At the moment of his downfall, Eastern Emperor extracted the Hongmeng Purple Qi from himself and gave it to his only remaining child!"

"After much investigation, I discovered that Ancestor Hongyun's body was transformed into the appearance of a child, and the Hongmeng Purple Qi was also sealed within that child's body, completely encased in an ice cave on Zhongnan Mountain!"

"But that child was snatched away by someone who got there first!"

"Today, I have located that child. It is him; someone has used a method akin to 'Borrow a Corpse to Resurrect the Soul' and has taken over this body. Naturally, the Hongmeng Purple Qi must have also ended up in your possession!"

As he spoke his final words, Kunpeng naturally pointed his finger at Yuanling!

"This, so that's what happened!" Hearing Kunpeng's explanation, Maitreya Buddha suddenly seemed to realize and stared at Yuanling with shining eyes.

He had never known that there was a clue related to Hongmeng Purple Qi connected to Yuanling!
