Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Tang Monk: I Am Willing to Call You the Most Timid
“Mage, please don’t misunderstand, and don’t get angry!”
Jiang Liu got straight to the point, and Tian Boxun hurriedly spoke up, looking a bit flustered.
“Uh…” Seeing Tian Boxun hastily explaining, clearly afraid of him getting upset, Jiang Liu was taken aback.
What’s going on? Tian Boxun, as Ancestor Minghe’s disciple, with a cultivation level at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal, actually afraid of ?
No, that’s impossible, it must be a misunderstanding, I must be overthinking.
“Mr. Tian Boxun, this humble monk is not angry!” Jiang Liu shook his head inwardly and replied.
“Phew, not angry? That’s good, then. We can talk things over calmly, it’s best not to get angry!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s reply, Tian Boxun let out a sigh of relief and said.
“Mr. Tian Boxun? Are you very afraid of getting angry?” Seeing his reaction, Jiang Liu thought his previous speculation might not be wrong. After a mont of hesitation, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Well, Mage, you are our Netherworld Blood Sea’s most esteed guest. Of course, I wouldn’t want you to be upset, otherwise, it would suggest that we have no hospitality here in the Netherworld.” Tian Boxun hesitated a bit at Jiang Liu’s question, then explained.
“That’s a poor excuse, isn’t it?” Jiang Liu rolled his eyes inwardly, clearly not buying Tian Boxun’s explanation.
Since when did I beco the most esteed guest of the Netherworld Blood Sea?
“By the way, Mage, what brings you to our Netherworld Blood Sea today? If there’s anything you need, I’m willing to go through fire and water!” Tian Boxun seed unwilling to dwell on this topic and quickly changed the subject.
“Mr. Tian Boxun, what I want to know most right now is why everyone from the Netherworld Sect Master down to the ordinary Asura Clan mbers are avoiding ?”
Jiang Liu stared seriously at Tian Boxun and asked.
Without giving Tian Boxun a chance to make excuses, Jiang Liu continued, “You don’t need to say everyone’s busy and has no ti. You know well this humble monk is not so easily fooled!”
“This…” Jiang Liu’s words left Tian Boxun unsure how to respond for a mont.
After so hesitation, Tian Boxun sighed helplessly, “Since Master Xuanzang insists on knowing, I will not hide it from you. Actually…”
“Actually, Mage, you are right. Everyone in the Netherworld Blood Sea is indeed avoiding you, keeping their distance respectfully.”
“Why is that?” Jiang Liu frowned slightly, finding it hard to believe as he looked at Tian Boxun. “I don’t think I have offended anyone, so why are you all treating this monk this way?”
“Mage, please don’t misunderstand, you haven’t offended us at all!” Tian Boxun explained urgently upon hearing Jiang Liu’s words.
After a brief hesitation, Tian Boxun continued, “Actually, it’s because Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva have fallen…”
“Manjushri and Samantabhadra’s fall?” Jiang Liu was even more puzzled. “What does their fall have to do with your Netherworld Blood Sea?”
“It’s not that,” Tian Boxun shook his head and explained, “It’s mainly because the Netherworld Sect Master said that Manjushri and Samantabhadra were prominent figures just below Quasi-Saint level. Their fall at the hands of the Mage indicates that the Journey to the West calamity is entering its most lethal stage, so…”
So what?
Jiang Liu didn’t ask further but stared intently at Tian Boxun, waiting for him to continue.
Looking a bit embarrassed, Tian Boxun replied, “So, the Master said recently that if the Mage returned to the Netherworld Blood Sea, he wouldn’t et you anymore!”
“With the Master acting this way, naturally, we, his subordinates, follow suit…”
Jiang Liu: “…”
Tian Boxun’s explanation left Jiang Liu speechless but also enlightened. So, this is the reason?
In theory, the fall of two Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage figures does indeed symbolize the latter, and bloodiest part of the Journey to the West calamity.
But who is Ancestor Minghe?
As one of the listeners at Zixiao Palace, he’s one of the most powerful beings below the Saints, yet he’s intimidated because two Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage figures died?
He wouldn’t even et !?
Hold on, since the Primordial tis, Ancestor Minghe has never revealed his true form, always hiding in the Netherworld Blood Sea, using his 480 million Blood God avatars to act?
He’s a super elite, yet surprisingly so cowardly!?
Considering this, Jiang Liu found it both amusing and bewildering!
I would call you the most cowardly in the Primordial tis, wouldn’t I?
This seems accurate?
With Ancestor Minghe being so cowardly, it makes sense for his subordinates to follow suit.
“Mage, what brings you to the Netherworld Blood Sea? Please do tell,” Tian Boxun said, nearly thumping his chest, indicating he would handle everything.
Tian Boxun’s thoughts were simple: avoid as much contact with Master Xuanzang as possible.
If it couldn’t be avoided, find out what he needs, address it quickly, and get him to leave!
“Actually, it’s nothing important. I ca today for two reasons. First, to check on my daughter’s status, and second, to ask so questions to the Netherworld Sect Master,” Jiang Liu replied.
“Then, Mage, please wait a mont while I report to the Master,” Tian Boxun said.
“Thank you, Mr. Tian Boxun!” Jiang Liu nodded.
Tian Boxun stood up and quickly left, disappearing from sight.
Jiang Liu sat quietly in the empty hall, waiting.
After a while, a very tall and muscular Asura appeared, carrying a cup of tea to Jiang Liu.
With obvious nervousness, he carefully placed the tea before Jiang Liu.
“Thank you!” Jiang Liu accepted the tea courteously, showing no airs.
“N-No problem…” Despite Jiang Liu’s friendly deanor, the Asura seed startled, stamring in response.
Then, he swiftly turned and dashed away.
Jiang Liu: “…”
Finding it amusing and bewildering, Jiang Liu wondered if everyone in the Netherworld Blood Sea saw him as more than a plague?
More likely, they saw him as a thousand tis more terrifying than the plague?
To ordinary people, the Asura Clan is very frightening. Yet now, these Asuras find even scarier?
So, have I beco the Demon King among Demon Kings?
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As Jiang Liu sat alone in the hall, his thoughts wandering, the sound of footsteps approached. Soon, a figure stepped through the door.
The figure was a young girl with a blood-red rune on her forehead, looking very malevolent and ominous, with a fierce look in her eyes.
Zoom!
Upon entering the hall, the girl wasted no ti, raising her hand to reveal a delicately crafted dark red gun, which she then thrust toward Jiang Liu.
With this attack, the hall was filled with a bloody wind and killing intent.
“Junior Sister, stop quickly!”
As the girl made her move, Tian Boxun, who entered just after, was startled and urgently shouted.
Facing the oncoming attack, Jiang Liu appeared unconcerned, casually raising his hand to grab the little gun.
With a snap, he caught the gun, rendering it immobile.
“Hmm, not bad. The speed and power of this attack are pretty good!” Catching the attack, Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction.
With such short ti, Blood Rain has acquired such skills, as expected of the Netherworld Sect Master’s personal training?
Swoosh!
At that mont, a change occurred.
From the gun Jiang Liu held, countless blood-red tendrils surged out like a tide, attacking Jiang Liu.
Unprepared, it was too late for Jiang Liu to retreat, so he instinctively cast Vajra Mantra for defense.
As the blood-red tendrils covered him, they had no attack power but clung tightly to him.
Feeling like he was encased in sticky cent, Jiang Liu’s movents beca very slow.
Moreover, waves of negative emotions like killing intent, hatred, and anger flooded over him.
“Is this? ntal attacks and physical control effects?” Caught off guard, Jiang Liu felt he had suffered a minor setback.
Blood Rain pulled her gun back and, seeing Jiang Liu restrained, attacked his throat without hesitation.
Dispel Curse!
Casting Dispel Curse, the blood-red aura around Jiang Liu dissipated like a tide.
Then, Jiang Liu’s aura exploded outward.
Wrath of Vidyaraja!
A powerful aura burst forth, seemingly very aggressive.
The impact sent Blood Rain flying back, her health bar dropping significantly.
“Oops, hit too hard?” Seeing Blood Rain’s health bar drop by half, Jiang Liu was startled.
But, her health bar only dropped by half under his skill?
Aren’t I level 74 now?
Character panel!
