630: Who is threatening you?

"If you're here, then it's not strange at all!"

Tang Ku looked at the person appearing behind Li Chengqian with a look of sudden realization, then vigilantly asked, "Tell me, what are your intentions for the Great Tang?"

Compassionate Guanyin walked out with her arms crossed, looking composed. She looked Tang Ku up and down, then suddenly said helplessly: "If I say I have no intentions, would you believe me?"

Tang Ku shook his head, then nodded: "In the past, I wouldn't have, but now, I believe you... I didn't expect you all to have a day where you'd give in."

"There's no help for it. Since the Buddha hasn't been found, none of our factions are your match, so we can only give you some benefits!"

Compassionate Guanyin laughed, "Are you feeling surprised and pleasantly surprised?"

"Not pleasantly surprised, just scared!"

Tang Ku sighed helplessly, "How did you think of helping the Great Tang develop technological power? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?"

Compassionate Guanyin said: "If we intervened by force with technology, it would inevitably be counterproductive and plunge the whole society into chaos. But this is something I discussed with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng of the Si Tian Jian. We are intervening in the name of the cultivation world, creating new technology combined with the modern scientific principles I know. We can call it 'Cultivation Technology'! The common people will think this is a blessing brought to them by the Immortals, and these high-tech things will also be considered products of the Immortal Realm. Therefore, without any changes in ideology, there won't be any chaos!"

"The only thing giving us a headache is..."

Compassionate Guanyin rubbed her forehead and smiled bitterly, "Even after we've done so much, the credit is still counted on your head! The common people all think it was you who won against us during the religious debates, and that's why these perks exist... After working so hard for so long, this is the first time I've felt a sense of powerlessness!"

"What should I say... You truly have a selfless spirit!"

Tang Ku couldn't help but mock, "Alright, enough nonsense. Let's gather a few spiritual leaders and have a small meeting. A major event is about to happen!"

Compassionate Guanyin snapped her fingers: "I am currently the plenipotentiary agent for both the Immortal and Buddhist realms. As for the Netherworld, the one inside the Emperor of Great Tang's body should be enough. So, you can tell me anything!"

Tang Ku tilted his head and suddenly asked: "Tell me the truth, why are you all so kind, suddenly running over to show goodwill? I always feel like you are still hiding something from me!"

Guanyin smiled bitterly: "Are we that untrustworthy?"

"Heh..."

Tang Ku smiled and said nothing.

"Someone gave us an ultimatum, saying that before the final battle arrives, we must wholeheartedly help you become the Order Lord!"

Guanyin finally told the truth, saying helplessly.

"Who?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly.

"Your eldest disciple's other Master, the person who taught him the Eight Nine Arcane Art!"

Guanyin said.

"You mean Subhuti?"

Tang Ku suddenly remembered the Senior who had once given him a powerful technique, and suddenly had some guesses in his heart.

"That's right, it's him!"

Guanyin said, "We had originally selected several people, trying to find the most elite one among them to replace your qualification to become the Order Lord. But unfortunately, when we decided on a candidate, he appeared before us... Well, in fact, we also know that it wasn't the real Subhuti, but his strength was terrifyingly high. Basically, with just a single thought, he could make us unable to move... He said that if we continued to trip you up behind your back, he would kill us... Yes, that was his exact words, not a word of exaggeration... We all know that he really can do it, and he can do it easily!"

Tang Ku was silent for a moment: "I'll go talk to him. When I return, I will tell you everything I know... Perhaps when I return, there will be a further plan... Don't worry, I won't touch your interests, but there is one thing you must be clear about, and that is..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The Great Tang will be fine, I guarantee it!"

Guanyin said.

"I think... you can't guarantee it!"

Tang Ku said, "Those Pseudo-Saints are numerous and each has extraordinary strength, so... it's better not to be careless!"

Guanyin smiled lightly: "If I say I can guarantee it, I won't just be paying lip service!"

Tang Ku nodded, turned his head to look at Tang Xian and Tang Xuan and said: "You two... do you want to come with me to see this Ancestral Master Subhuti?"

Tang Xuan laughed: "I probably know who that person is... Xianxian, you are not allowed to say no!"

Tang Xian curled his lips, but ultimately didn't say the objection.

The three of them said goodbye to Li Chengqian, who was having fun, and then set off, flying in the direction of the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.

With their speed, it was just a matter of moments.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave. The mountain was still the same mountain, the cave was still the same cave, but things had changed. It had become somewhat desolate, even more desolate than when Tang Ku last came... Well, the peach trees on the mountain had all withered, and even the lush mountain forest had become sparse, as if it had suffered some great disaster.

"There are traces of a battle..."

Tang Ku frowned slightly.

"I can see it too... But Subhuti hasn't appeared for a long time, right? Who is he fighting with?"

Tang Xian said.

Tang Xuan laughed: "Let's go in and ask him, and we'll know!"

As she spoke, she had already walked in first. Tang Ku and the other had no choice but to follow. Anyway, there shouldn't be any major danger here. After all, Subhuti's reputation was there, and... it seemed like one could faintly feel the other party's aura...

Sure enough, there was indeed a person sitting on the futon in the main hall... Uh... to be precise, it was a corpse... To be more precise... That damn thing was actually a skeleton!

Although the Taoist robe and attire were definitely Subhuti's, this was too fake!

Sure enough, Tang Xuan walked up and pouted: "You look like this, who are you trying to scare!"

Two golden lights emerged from the skeleton's eye sockets, and then there was a clicking sound in its throat, mechanically saying.

"I don't intend to scare anyone, becoming like this is truly a last resort..."

As soon as these words were spoken, golden light radiated from the skeleton, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into Subhuti's Immortal-looking appearance.

The old man laughed: "How have you been, Tang Sanzang... or should I say, Tang Ku!"

Tang Ku touched his nose: "I guessed you should appear too!"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems you have already guessed who I am, right?"

"From Tang Xuan's attitude towards you, I can probably guess ninety percent!"

Tang Ku said.

"You guessed ninety percent?" Tang Xian said belatedly, "Who is this old man anyway?"

Tang Xuan and Tang Ku both looked at him with expressions of looking at an idiot, but then they heard a distinct "pop" sound on Tang Xian's head, and immediately after, he covered his head and squatted on the ground howling: "Dad, I was wrong!"
