Journey to the West: After the Great Sage listened to the advice, the three realms were all confused

Chapter 716: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Yuanshi, who was in low spirits, was still a little confused when he heard Laozi's words.

After a while, I finally remembered what Laozi had said to me before.

"It's just...big brother, you have seen the teacher's attitude before. Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?" Yuanshi murmured.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to throw Hongjun, this hot potato, away.

The key point is that he threw this hot potato to me.

Can Laozi really subdue Hongjun, who has lost all his cultivation and whose behavior has also become uncontrollable?

If not, then isn't he creating trouble for himself?

Laozi's thoughts were unusually clear: "But you are also aware of Nuwa's current situation. Even her life is hanging by a thread. Do you think the Demon Ancestor will let me go?"

"If he accidentally learns that his teacher has lost all his cultivation, then I'm afraid the entire Chan Sect will face a huge challenge."

Yuanshi was silent.

According to Lao Tzu's thinking, it seems to be true.

Yuan Shi shook his head: "But if I leave the teaching to you, big brother, wouldn't that bring disaster upon you? That can't be allowed!"

It would be fine if he were to take responsibility for such a dangerous matter, but why did he involve me in this?

"How stupid! That's why the teacher had to let me take care of him in order to fish in troubled waters." Laozi sighed heavily.

He gave even more compelling reasons.

Compared with Yuxu Palace, Bajing Palace has a lower presence.

Moreover, he does not have many disciples, so if Luohou really comes to find him, it will be easier for him to escape.

Compared with the Chan and Jie sects, which have bigger goals, his is the safest one.

“…Only by combining the real and the fake can it be difficult for people to see through the subtleties. So, don’t think about anything else…” Laozi stared at Yuanshi with burning eyes.

He thought to himself that he had already said so much, and it would be impolite if Yuanshi still disagreed.

Yuanshi really wanted to refuse.

But before he could utter the words of refusal, he heard the White Crane Boy coming outside to deliver a message that the Demon Ancestor Rāhu was coming to challenge him.

Luohou's attitude was very clear. He asked Yuanshi to hand over Hongjun quickly to prevent the entire Yuxu Palace from being flooded with blood.

After hearing the news, Laozi relaxed slightly: Fortunately, he had already agreed on a cooperation with Luohou before coming here.

The Demon Ancestor challenged Yuanshi, but he was not afraid that Yuanshi would not realize that he was surrounded by danger and would not hand Hongjun over to him.

"Yuanshi, the demons are coming with great force. The most important thing now is the teacher's safety. What are you still hesitating about?" Laozi stared at Yuanshi anxiously.

However, looking at Laozi, whose face was filled with anxiety and worry, Yuanshi suddenly felt a little calm.

Yes, he calmly looked at Laozi, who seemed to be performing a monologue, and calmly asked the biggest question in his heart:

"I always feel, brother, that your concern for the teacher now... I mean, you didn't seem to care about the teacher this much before."

What he actually wanted to say was that his old man would at least agree with him in expressing his dissatisfaction with Hongjun.

But now, since the influence of the Fallen Saint Pill has been lifted, why does it seem like I care more about Hongjun?

Is the Laozi he knows so respectful to teachers?

Hearing Yuanshi's words, the expression on Laozi's face became stiff for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself.

Laozi said to Yuanshi earnestly, "That's because the previous teacher didn't lose all his cultivation and mind."

"Even if the past grudges still exist, the current teachers don't understand them, and I really can't bear to vent my anger on such teachers."

"Big brother, you are so kind-hearted." After listening to Laozi's long talk, Yuanshi praised with a forced smile.

My heart skipped a beat: Could it be that Yuanshi had seen something? Was his plan going to fail?

The next second, Yuan Shi said calmly, "However, since you care so much about the relationship between you and the teacher, then I leave the teacher's safety to you. I'll go meet this feared Demon Ancestor first."

After saying this, he flew out of the hall without even waiting for Laozi to react.

In front of the Yuxu Palace, Luohou, who was leading a large group of demon soldiers, saw Yuanshi coming and did not hesitate to invite him to go to Tianwai Tian for a battle.

If Yuanshi is afraid, then he can just hand Hongjun over to him.

"Why would I be afraid of your evil ways? It's just the Heaven Beyond Heaven, just go!" After Yuanshi said this, he instantly turned into a spot of light and followed Luohou to the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

……

Heaven and earth.

Luohu and Yuanshi, who each showed their magical weapons, did not start fighting right away.

Instead, he continuously released micro-pressure around his body to test the enemy's strength.

After the momentum reached a subtle level, just when Yuanshi thought that Luohu was about to start fighting, Luohu on the opposite side suddenly put down the weapon in his hand.

"What exactly is your conspiracy?!" Yuanshi frowned.

Could it be that Luohu knew he couldn't deal with him, so he planned to give up?

No, it's absolutely impossible. With the Demon Ancestor's cunningness, this must be a trick to confuse him. There is no way he would be fooled so easily.

Luo Hou smiled and said, "Conspiracy? Perhaps there is indeed a conspiracy! After all, I am only entrusted with this task."

He has now learned everything on his own and understood the hints given by his good brother.

Why must there be such violence? Wouldn't it be more interesting to see the Three Pure Ones become enemies?

"What do you mean?" Yuanshi's vigilance rose to a new level.

Luohou blinked somewhat suppressedly, as if he didn't expect Yuanshi to be so stupid, so he "kindly" explained.

He said, "What I mean is, whether it was the first attack on Nuwa or the current challenge to Yuxu Palace, it was all just a small ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."

Having said this, Luohou deliberately paused, staring intently into Yuanshi's eyes, and said seriously: "If you go back now, you might even be able to see your teacher's tail!"

"Your target is Hongjun?!" Yuanshi blurted out in disbelief after hearing Luohou's explanation.

"Ha, does old man Hongjun know that you call him by his name behind his back?" Luohou laughed.

Yuanshi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Luohou and went directly back to Yuxu Palace.

He originally thought that Luohu would stop him, but Luohu just watched him leave quietly without stopping him at all.

When Yuanshi returned to Yuxu Palace, Baihe Tongzi told him that he had secretly taken Hongjun away while the demon soldiers outside were not paying attention.

He was instantly relieved when he heard the news: It seems that Luohou and the person behind the scenes did not succeed in their purpose, and Hongjun's safety was saved.

Along with this came a sense of disdain towards Luohu.
