234: Chapter 234 The West's Great Prosperity is in Sight, Fearing that Sun Wukong and his Five Men Would Enter the Tiger Clan

Upon hearing this, Zhunti also revealed a trace of disdain, shaking his head as he said: "Master Huanglong... to think he doesn't have even the slightest bit of ambition; he is rotten wood that cannot be carved!"

He paused, his gaze becoming sharp again as he looked at Randeng and said: "Forget about Master Huanglong for now. Disciple Randeng, within ten Yuan Epochs, incite Daoist Cihang, Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa, and Golden Immortal Samantabhadra—three Disciples dissatisfied with Yuanshi Tianzun—to defect to the Western Sect."

"Once the ten-Yuan Epoch silence order ends, Revered Master shall bring you back to the West!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Randeng's eyes, and he respectfully said: "Rest assured, Revered Master. Disciple has been in the Chan Sect for many years and knows the temperament of these three like the back of my hand. I guarantee I will complete the mission, and it shall serve as my pledge of allegiance for joining the West!"

Zhunti nodded with satisfaction, a genuine smile appearing on his face once more: "Good Disciple, you are truly the Disciple I value the most. Keep at it; once you successfully incite the three of them to defect and return, Revered Master shall personally forge an Indestructible Golden Body for you, so you may enjoy the Luck of the West forever."

"Disciple will certainly not fail Revered Master's expectations!"

Randeng's Primordial Spirit bowed deeply, and then the seven-colored clouds gradually dissipated, and Zhunti's Dharma form vanished along with it.

Daoist Randeng opened his eyes; there was no longer any hesitation in them, only intense ambition and the fire of revenge remaining.

He looked in the direction of Yuxu Palace and sneered: "Yuanshi Tianzun... the humiliation the Chan Sect has given me, I will repay tenfold!"

After speaking, his figure flickered, and he silently left his Daoist temple, heading towards the Eastern Lands to begin his "carefully planned scheme of defection."

Western Mount Sumeru.

Zhunti's true body said excitedly once again to Jieyin beside him: "Senior Brother, good things come in pairs! Randeng says Daoist Cihang, Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa, and Golden Immortal Samantabhadra have long been dissatisfied with Yuanshi Tianzun and can be poached to the West!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of uncontrollable joy crossed Jieyin's eyes, and he confirmed with Zhunti again: "Junior Brother, is this true? Can Daoist Cihang, Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa, and Golden Immortal Samantabhadra... really leave the Chan Sect and join our Western Sect?"

Zhunti laughed loudly and nodded excitedly: "Absolutely true! Randeng has been in the Chan Sect for many years and understands the temperament of these three perfectly. The three of them have long been dissatisfied with Yuanshi Tianzun's preferential treatment but have been enduring it for the sake of the sect's reputation. Now that our West has extended an olive branch, they will naturally be tempted!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin let out a long sigh and turned to look at the flourishing Western lands below Mount Sumeru.

A flash of emotion crossed his eyes as he murmured: "Hardship has ended, and sweetness has begun... The West has been barren for countless kalpas, and now it is finally about to usher in the day of true prosperity."

Zhunti also stood up and walked to Jieyin's side, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his Senior Brother while looking at the Western Sect below, whose Luck was like a rainbow. His voice carried uncontrollable excitement: "Senior Brother, if we can successfully poach the three of them—Daoist Cihang and the others—this time, the strength of our Western Sect will rise to another level! By then, our West will surely rise!"

After finishing his lament, Jieyin turned and looked seriously at Zhunti, reminding him: "This matter concerns the great prosperity of the West; as we two are unsealed, we must absolutely not let Yuanshi Tianzun notice any flaws."

"Rest assured, Senior Brother!" Golden light flared in Zhunti's eyes. "I have already had Randeng lay the groundwork; within ten Yuan Epochs, there will surely be results!"

Eastern Lands. The five, led by Que Liusun, headed majestically toward the Tiger Clan's territory.

Master Lingbao and Venerable Daoxing, acting as Que Liusun's left and right Protectors, followed closely behind. Daoist Cihang and Golden Immortal Samantabhadra were behind the three of them, forming an inverted trapezoid formation.

As time passed, the five finally flew into the core territory of the Tiger Clan.

No sooner had they entered than they were blocked by a White Tiger with a powerful aura at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

The White Tiger transformed into a white-robed Daoist, warily eyeing the five people before him.

Sensing that Que Liusun's aura was far superior to his own, he cupped his hands and asked: "This Senior, may I ask what brings you to our Tiger Clan's territory?"

To this, Que Liusun merely glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

It was Master Lingbao who, with the superior attitude of someone in a high position, stepped forward and said indifferently: "We are Disciples under the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect. Under Revered Master's orders, we have descended the mountain to assist a fated clan and help them compete for the status of the Four Tribes of the Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this, the white-robed youth's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed: "So it is Fellow Daoists from the Chan Sect who have arrived; this poor Daoist will go and report to the Clan Chief immediately."

After speaking, he turned into a streak of white light and left swiftly.

Master Lingbao watched the figure leaving and chuckled: "The Tiger Clan... their arrogance is quite high these days. I hope they don't fail to appreciate favors."

Venerable Daoxing immediately chimed in, his tone carrying a trace of arrogance: "Exactly. If they are sensible and willing to treat us as honored guests, we will lend them a helping hand and assist them in competing for the status of the Four Tribes of the Heavenly Dao. If they are not sensible... hmph! Then don't blame Senior Brother Que Liusun for showing them a thing or two."

Master Lingbao turned to look at Que Liusun and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, your strength is heaven-reaching. If the Tiger Clan dares to be ungrateful, I ask that you take action, Senior Brother, and let them know what the methods of the authentic Xuan Sect are."

Golden Immortal Samantabhadra also nodded in agreement: "That is correct. The Tiger Clan has annexed too many small and medium-sized clans over the years and is entangled in Karma. If they do not know etiquette and hierarchy, we can take this opportunity to act on behalf of Heaven and collect their illicit gains."

Daoist Cihang also chimed in with a few words at this moment.

The four sang in harmony, flattering Que Liusun both openly and covertly, while simultaneously devaluing the Tiger Clan as worthless.

Que Liusun stood to the side, listening to these words, his mouth curling up unconsciously, a flash of smugness in his eyes, yet he still maintained a high-and-mighty posture, saying indifferently: "Junior Brothers, there is no need to say more. If the Tiger Clan truly has the foresight, that is naturally for the best. If not... this Seat will make them experience... the profound mysteries of the Yuqing Immortal Technique."

At this moment, although Que Liusun's Realm was only in the Early Stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, and his corpse-slaying Spirit Treasure was only a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Binding Immortal Rope. But... as a Disciple of a Saint, he was certain that the Tiger Clan would not dare to offend him. Just because he was a Disciple of a Saint, and just because he was one of the only two Quasi-Saints in the Chan Sect.

Venerable Daoxing and the other three, upon hearing this, began to flatter Que Liusun again.

Not long after, the Tiger Clan Chief, Clan Chief Bai Huang, arrived with the aforementioned Grand Unity Golden Immortal Tiger.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands to Que Liusun: "Clan Chief Bai Huang greets Fellow Daoist... and..."

He turned to look at Venerable Daoxing and the others: "...you young friends!"

To this, the five gave a light "mm" and returned the salute with perfunctory gestures.

Seeing this, a flash of cold light, difficult to detect, crossed Clan Chief Bai Huang's eyes, but he maintained his smile and said: "It is a great honor for the entire Tiger Clan that you have come from afar. Please, everyone, move to the White Tiger Palace, so that I may host a banquet to entertain you and also discuss the matter of cooperation in detail."

Que Liusun stood with his hands behind his back and said in an indifferent tone: "Lead the way."
