Chapter 966 - 355: Preparedness Prevents Trouble – Wang Guiyuan 3
"I’m going to check on Senior Sister." Tang Xiaotang couldn’t sit still.
The Western monks from the Buddhist Sect are really annoying.
The East Sea Penglai also has something that piques her interest.
But it’s not Penglai itself.
It’s the Western White Emperor who she had driven away before, and who left her behind.
This trip might just lead her to find the opponent, and Tang Xiaotang immediately became interested.
She looked at Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan.
Wang Guiyuan shook his head directly: "Tang and Senior Sister, be careful."
Lei Jun exchanged a glance with him, and they both saw in each other’s eyes the same flash: "The situation in the west is unclear, and there are changes in the east which might also trigger changes in the west."
They were all very familiar with Xu Yuanzhen’s personal habits as fellow disciples.
While benefiting from her abilities, they also accepted that her capriciousness might create openings for their enemies.
Lei Jun and the others were quite adaptive in this regard.
Of course, if Taoists viewed monks with petty suspicion, then it was another matter.
Tang Xiaotang looked towards the west and sneered, "Although I am very interested in Penglai, the situation inside is still unclear, and I don’t know if I can find that scoundrel. But if there’s movement in the west, that would be much more concrete. If those bald thieves come to our doorstep, I’ll go back and deal with them first. I think Senior Sister won’t mind."
Lei Jun nodded: "I am also interested in Penglai, but I need to finish my current tasks first."
The Silver Cone left behind by Xu Yuanzhen was in its second stage of Warming and Nurturing, currently at a critical moment.
And the plan based on the two nine-tier Eclipse Lotus Seats also needed further improvement to achieve the desired effect.
"Okay, then I’ll be off." Tang Xiaotang, in high spirits, immediately descended the mountain.
New changes arose over the East Sea, and though the Penglai entrance was located at the deep sea bottom, the disturbances it caused were not small, with frequent tsunamis and cyclones.
Dragon Tiger Mountain had the first-hand news from Xu Yuanzhen.
A little later, other forces also sent people to investigate, obtaining a rough understanding of the situation.
The news was relayed back to the mainland, drawing attention from all sides.
The Qingzhou Ye Clan and Suzhou Chu Clan successively sent higher-level core members to investigate.
More detailed information was gradually reported back.
Various signs indicated that a great battle was happening underground at the entrance to Penglai in the East Sea Ocean.
One side was undoubtedly the Celestial Master Mansion’s Profound Heaven Extensive Mystery Guarding Master Xu Yuanzhen.
The identity and number of the other side were currently a mystery, but from a distance, their methods also seemed Taoist.
Ye Yan, the Clan Chief of Qingzhou Ye Clan, and Chu Xiuyuan, the old Clan Chief of Suzhou Chu Clan, decided to go overseas together after frequent correspondence.
Officially, it was to assist and cooperate with Master Xu of Celestial Master Mansion in responding to the opening of the Penglai portal.
The Tang Imperial Court was also concerned.
However, since State Master Tang Xiaotang had already gone to the East Sea, the Tang Court’s central hub did not dispatch senior officials, only sending a select group to accompany the State Master overseas, awaiting her commands while calming the tsunami disasters to prevent affecting coastal areas.
For a time, throughout the Great Tang, all eyes were on the East Sea.
In the Vajra Temple in the Western Regions, Vajra Sect Leader Garuda was similarly attentive.
However, what he focused on was not the event itself, but its impact on other matters:
"The timing could not be better, we must not seek perfection."
The Vajra Sect Leader looked at the beads in his fingers, rolling like flowing water, and softly said: "Begin."
He lightly waved his hand, and the colors continuously transformed from emerald green to colorless and back to emerald green, forming a wonderful light and shadow from which a spiritual nature different from Buddhist Mana emanated.
