The last mournful sigh faded, and the scene vanished.
Tang Sanzang’s fierce expression also gradually disappeared, that final look of despair, unwillingness, and longing in Tang Seng’s face brought him an inexplicable wave of heartache.
Had sothing terribly frightening happened after he left that space-ti, causing all the acquaintances from that world to die?
Even the world itself shattered?
Tang Sanzang thought of the planet he was on, this tiny place the size of a palm, yet it held the Purple Bamboo House from the realm of Earth Immortals, which was definitely not moved there by soone—it must be part of the original Earth Immortals Realm!
The original Earth Immortals Realm must have been truly shattered!
At this thought, Tang Sanzang’s heart trembled…
Images of old friends flashed through his mind, the Guanyin Bodhisattva who liked to hit people with a bottle, the Lingji Bodhisattva who was always searching for his dog, and the fat Buddha with a head full of bumps…
The timid Green Ox, the scheming Roaring Dog, and Jie Dian who always asked him out for drinks but repeatedly stood him up. Explore stories at .Côm
Scene after scene flashed by, and mories from the journey to the West began to erge.
But soon, he realized there was a major problem with his mory.
He rembered that he had rescued soone from under Five Fingers Mountain, but who was he? What was his na? What did he look like? He couldn’t rember any of it!
He rembered eting soone at Gao Laozhuang who seed important to him, but still, he could not recall.
Eagle Sorrow Cliff, Flowing Sand River…
And that woman who sat with him on the rooftop at night watching the starry river, arguing incessantly, who were they?
He couldn’t rember, not a single one!
"Damn it, who the hell are they? Who?!" Tang Sanzang scread to the heavens, clutching his head in anguish.
No matter how hard he tried, his mind was utterly blank of their mories, he could rember nothing!
But Tang Sanzang knew they were important!
If what Tang Seng had said was true, and that world had encountered a great crisis, and might even have been thoroughly obliterated, the Buddha himself having died.
Could they still exist?
If they were dead…
Tang Sanzang’s gaze gradually grew wild, his aura beginning to disperse outward, the aura of a demon from the prival era pressing down so fiercely that the entire planet trembled and shivered as if at any mont it was going to explode.
"Daddy, there’s an earthquake, I’m scared!" Just then, a cry startled Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang snapped back to reality and looked around, only then realizing that his rage had cracked the ground beneath his feet, he could even feel the stars underfoot trembling, ready to collapse and explode at any mont!
Seeing Tang Caiyi, who had been frightened into tears by the scene before her, Tang Sanzang quickly gathered his mind, his aura receded, and the world regained its calm.
In this mont, as Tang Sanzang looked at the Purple Bamboo House again, his resentnt towards Tang Seng dissolved, replaced by a complex mix of lancholy and regret.
Alas, he did not possess Divine Skills and could not travel through ti at will, nor could he return to the past…
He now couldn’t do anything.
Even a minor tantrum could potentially obliterate this small planet, which might be the last remnants of the Earth Immortals Realm!
Let alone anything else?
This tiny planet was his last lingering thought.
Tang Caiyi was also his last connection to that era...
In an instant, Tang Sanzang’s gaze toward Tang Caiyi changed, it was the genuine look of a father toward his daughter, gentle, tender, filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Gently stroking Tang Caiyi’s head and wiping the tears from her pretty face, Tang Sanzang said, "My girl, from now on Daddy will protect you! Anyone who dares to bully you, Daddy will make them pay!"
These words were spoken lightly, but if there were anyone familiar with Tang Sanzang present, they would be surprised to find that this was one of Tang Sanzang’s rare serious monts—he ant it!
Gurgle...
Just then, Tang Caiyi’s stomach rumbled.
Tang Caiyi’s cheeks turned red, "Dad, I’m hungry."
Tang Sanzang touched the walkie-talkie in his pocket, then smiled and said, "Dad’s going to take you for a big al!"
"Dad, I have to remind you, we’re out of money," Tang Caiyi reminded him.
Tang Sanzang laughed, picked up Tang Caiyi, then looked toward the oasis in the northwest, "Your dad here ate Buddha’s at without paying, why would eating a al cost any money?"
To the northwest of Nanfeng Village, there was a small oasis, not large, but it had everything from lakes to trees.
At that mont, three off-road vehicles were parked at the edge of the oasis, and about a dozen people were sitting inside around a lit campfire, roasting large chunks of at, and boiling a vegetable soup.
A bald man ate while complaining, "The boss is too stingy, not even a drop of alcohol."
"Shut up... A little girl has delayed us this long, and it’s good enough that the boss hasn’t kicked us all out yet. If we ss up again... we’ll all be packing up and getting lost," another person complained.
The bald man said, "Can you bla us? Isn’t it all because of that surna Tang making trouble? If it wasn’t for his desperate resistance last ti, nearly getting himself killed and bringing the police over, would we have been delayed this long? Now Tang Sanzang is already dead, just a little girl left. Luo Zi and the others taking her down, isn’t it a cinch? Co on, everyone, toast with the soup instead of alcohol, let’s drink up!"
As the bald man finished speaking and was about to down the soup in his lunch box, he caught a glimpse of a reflection from the forest.
He furrowed his brow and looked over, only to see a bald man slowly walking out of the forest, carrying a little girl.
The bald man was about to scold, but in the next mont, every hair on his shiny scalp stood on end as he scread, "You... aren’t you dead?"
The others heard him and looked over, also seeing Tang Sanzang and Tang Caiyi.
They all recognized Tang Caiyi’s father and had seen him before, leaving a deep impression.
After all, he was the toughest nut to crack in the whole Nanfeng Village, whom they had beaten many tis, and eventually, they had beaten him to a near death, then he died.
It could be said they watched Tang Sanzang die with their own eyes, and now a face looking exactly like him, holding Tang Caiyi, appeared!
In an instant, the bustling oasis fell deathly silent, as everyone collectively gasped, their bodies breaking out into goosebumps!
A myriad of thoughts raced through everyone’s minds.
"Did he die and then beco a Buddha? Or did he die and all his hair fell out?"
"Did Luo Zi kill his daughter too? Are these the vengeful spirits of father and daughter co to seek revenge?"
Everyone was extrely frightened and didn’t dare to move!
Tang Caiyi hadn’t expected to encounter these murderous ruffians here and instinctively hugged Tang Sanzang’s neck, whispering, "Dad, it’s those villains, let’s run... otherwise, we’ll be beaten again!"
Tang Sanzang was taken aback; he didn’t know the relationship between these people and Tang Caiyi.
He whispered back, "Do you know them?"
