Alert: Task "Revenge" completed, gained 400 million Experience Points, received an Epic Level Treasure Chest*1.
As Kunpeng and Maitreya Buddha flew away, it was impossible to catch up to them. After waiting for a while, suddenly, a system alert echoed in Jiang Liu's mind.
The sound of this voice made Jiang Liu slightly startled—had the revenge task been completed!?
What were the requirents of this revenge task?
Quite simple, it was because of the incident of Zhu Bajie's Golden Body being stolen—ticulously plan against Maitreya Buddha and avenge Zhu Bajie!
Now, it had been completed!?
Could it be that Kunpeng really had slain Maitreya Buddha? That would truly be an unexpected joy!
"Ah, that's not right!"
However, Jiang Liu quickly shook his head, feeling he had thought incorrectly.
If Kunpeng really had slain Maitreya Buddha, he should have received so Experience Points, right?
After all, if you can't form a team, the Experience Points obtained from killing are based on the Contribution Points toward the kill, and he had provided a Skill by casting a Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra for Kunpeng, which should count as his contribution, right?
"Yuanling, how are you now? Are you in any danger? Also, do you know what's going on over there?"
Finding it strange, Jiang Liu thought for a mont, opened his friends list, and sent a ssage 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 ssage was sent, Yanling promptly replied.
From the ssage, 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 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 rember 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.
Imdiately 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 overwheld 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 ant 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 imdiately being rciless, 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 ti 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 sothing from , 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 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.
"Hongng Purple Qi!"
Kunpeng's expression was serious as he stared at Maitreya Buddha and uttered these four words.
"Hongng 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.
"Hongng Purple Qi? How could I possibly have the Hongng Purple Qi? Are you mistaken about sothing?" Maitreya Buddha, wearing a bitter smile, looked at Kunpeng and spoke.
Well, it makes sense why Kunpeng would take action against him over sothing like the Hongng Purple Qi; it seed like a vendetta as serious as the killing of a father or the stealing of a wife.
If it were for Hongng Purple Qi, that would be understandable.
But I really don't have anything like the Hongng 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 Hongng Purple Qi?" Watching Kunpeng's action, Maitreya Buddha looked even more puzzled, his doubts only multiplying.
"What? Buddha, what is Hongng 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 Hongng 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 Hongng Purple Qi must be an extrely powerful object to cause such a life-and-death struggle between Kunpeng and Maitreya Buddha.
"Hongng Purple Qi!?"
However, Yuanling was overthinking; Jiang Liu not only knew what Hongng Purple Qi was but also understood it very well.
Thus, after hearing Kunpeng's words, Jiang Liu was even more shocked.
Hongng 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 Hongng Purple Qi now?
"Kunpeng, what are you talking about? How would I have sothing like Hongng Purple Qi?" Ignoring Yuanling's question, Maitreya Buddha focused instead on Kunpeng and asked incredulously.
Indeed, how could he possess sothing like the Hongng 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 ti, any further concealnt by Maitreya Buddha seed pointless, didn't it?
"Since you want to know, let explain clearly!" Seeing Maitreya Buddha's bewildered and inquiring gaze, Kunpeng paused for a mont before speaking.
"Back then, Ancestor Hongyun, carrying the last trace of Hongng Purple Qi, was coveted by countless individuals. Everyone knew that Ancestor Hongyun was killed, and that last trace of Hongng Purple Qi also disappeared without a trace, deed to have vanished..."
"However, few people knew that, at that ti, our Demon Clan successfully acquired that wisp of Hongng 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 Hongng Purple Qi, Eastern Emperor Taiyi could not beco a saint."
"At the mont of his downfall, Eastern Emperor extracted the Hongng Purple Qi from himself and gave it to his only remaining child!"
"After much investigation, I discovered that Ancestor Hongyun's body was transford into the appearance of a child, and the Hongng 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 soone who got there first!"
"Today, I have located that child. It is him; soone has used a thod akin to 'Borrow a Corpse to Resurrect the Soul' and has taken over this body. Naturally, the Hongng 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 seed to realize and stared at Yuanling with shining eyes.
He had never known that there was a clue related to Hongng Purple Qi connected to Yuanling!
