Chapter 182: Hypocrisy and Compromise
The Emperor of Heaven sat in his seat, frowning as he listened to what Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun said. He was silent for a long time, then said, "Your guess is not unreasonable. Moreover, so many immortals in the academy were promoted because I asked Lei Gong and Dian Mu to cover up their ascension thunder tribulations."
Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun looked at each other with shock in their eyes. They didn't expect that the Emperor of Heaven had made preparations so early and had invested in the academy so early. Could it be that he wanted to use the academy as a backup for the fairy world?
It's a pity that the academy was wiped out by the Buddhist community.
No, the dean and his team don’t know where to evacuate to. Maybe those students are still alive in some corner of the world.
Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun thought of the key and felt much relieved.
When the Emperor of Heaven saw their expressions, he naturally thought of what they were thinking and then gave the order.
"Appoint Erlang Zhenjun and Taishang Laojun as patrol angels to inspect the world's events! To prevent Sun Wukong from destroying a city again! This is a token, which can be activated to send my clone to come in person!"
The Emperor of Heaven directly gave two tokens, one to Erlang Shen and one to Taishang Laojun.
"On the surface, you are patrol angels, your job is to inspect the world, but secretly, I give you a mission, you must find the dean and his men, they must have evacuated!"
Originally, Lei Gong and Dian Mu were sent by the Emperor of Heaven to send away thunder and protect Xu Shilin, but unexpectedly, Sun Wukong returned to the academy, which directly led to Lei Gong and Dian Mu, Erlang Zhenjun and Taishang Laojun returning to the Heavenly Palace to report, commonly known as a meeting.
In fact, there was a hidden meaning behind the Emperor of Heaven asking Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun to go find the dean.
First of all, it is to test whether those people in the Buddhist world will take action!
Once he makes a move, Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun each have a token that can summon his clones, and he will naturally know who the person is.
Secondly, giving one piece to Erlang Shen and one to Taishang Laojun respectively was naturally out of fear that they would be defeated one by one, so it was just an insurance.
Thirdly, finding the dean means that the backup plan he had prepared is a real backup plan, because they have truly broken off relations with the Buddhist world, and their feud is as deep as a sea of blood, so there is no need to worry that they will not join their camp.
Fourthly, Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun were already members of the academy, so going to look for the dean would not arouse their resentment and suspicion. Instead, it would increase their trust and also represent the attitude of the Emperor of Heaven.
The Emperor of Heaven has thought a lot, and this action can be said to be a win-win situation.
And on the surface, it seems like it's giving the Buddhist world a piece of face.
Because the Emperor of Heaven has acknowledged what the Buddhist world said and confirmed that it was Sun Wukong who said it, so he naturally won't blame the Buddhist world.
At the same time, letting two gods at the level of True Lords serve as patrolling angels to prevent such situations from happening again can also stabilize the country and the human world, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun took the token and began to patrol every corner of the world together.
They were going to search all over the world for the dean.
Buddha Realm
Guanyin coughed twice, and the jade bottle disappeared from her hand. The bottle had been smashed by Sun Wukong.
After his battle with Sun Wukong, his heart and lungs suffered some injuries and he has been coughing ever since. It will take some time for him to fully recover.
"Buddha..."
Before Guanyin could say his apology, Tathagata interrupted him.
"I heard that you were trapped by the sky-covering formation you prepared, so that's why you let them escape?"
Guanyin lowered her head and said, "Yes..."
Tathagata did not speak like Guanyin, but continued, "He was able to modify the base array and array pattern of the Heaven Covering Array, and thus control the Heaven Covering Array for his own use. It seems that he is not a simple person. In ancient times, there was no such person heard of. I think he was either a hermit or a person from an earlier period..."
"It's not easy to deal with such a person!"
Guanyin frowned, "But I feel that his strength is not that strong. Maybe he is particularly outstanding in terms of knowledge or formation?"
Tathagata nodded, "It's possible, but we have already made a move. If we can't solve it all at once, it will be difficult to find them next time."
As he spoke, he suddenly started counting with his thumb and the other four fingers of his hand.
"The Immortal Realm has sent out Erlang Zhenjun and Taishang Laojun as patrol angels, presumably to look for them. So send people to follow them from a distance. If you find them, don't act rashly unless you can create a situation where you must kill them."
Guanyin bowed and saluted, "Respect the Dharma!"
Long Pinxuan naturally didn't know about the actions of the immortal world and the Buddhist world. While the two groups of immortals outside were looking for him, he quietly came to the entrance of the Dragon World and waited quietly for the Dragon World to open. Then a series of events happened.
So when he saw the battle scene in the hall clearly, he was surprised, but he also did not forget to observe the movements of the dragons.
Because at this time he saw a figure standing behind those young dragons.
He said slowly, "Do you see it clearly?"
The young dragons were startled and turned around, took a few steps back, and actually walked into the hall.
"What a pity! If you hadn't walked in, I could have said something good for you..."
The figure slowly approached, allowing the young dragons to see his face clearly.
"Young Patriarch?"
These young dragons exclaimed in surprise, because the dragon in front of them was actually the next heir of the dragon clan, whom they called the young patriarch.
"Young Chief? No, you should call me Chief. That old immortal has a long life span and has always occupied the position of Chief. Now the whole Dragon Realm belongs to me. How do you feel?"
The young patriarch opened his arms in ecstasy.
A young dragon shouted angrily, "Aobai, you are wasting the patriarch's training on you! You are already the junior patriarch, and the position of patriarch will be yours sooner or later! Why do you do such a thing!"
Aobai lowered his arms and stopped explaining. Instead, he looked behind him and said slowly, "Capture them!"
"yes!"
A team of black dragon elites immediately ran in from the entrance of the hall, pointing their spears directly at the young dragons.
The leader of the Black Dragon team said coldly, "Just surrender! You can still save your life!"
The young dragons raised their heads and glared at each other with pride.
"There are only fighting dragons, no surrendering dragons!"
"I think Ao Qing was killed by you before! We must make this matter public! Let you get the punishment you deserve!"
But just as they finished their words, a powerful dragon breath rushed towards them, knocking them heavily against the wall and throwing them down heavily.
"Depending on you? Ao Qing just ran away because he accidentally saw it while standing outside the hall. That's how he escaped from Dragon Island. But you are in the hall now, how can you escape?"
The young dragons were horrified to see a row of black dragon elites standing at the entrance of the hall.
This way, they can't escape at all!
