Chapter 475 - 474: Two Rakshasas Remain in the World, the Letter Has Arrived!
"Who exactly are you? Why are you saving us?" the Long-armed Ape couldn’t help but ask, his tone carrying a hint of entreaty: "Since you’re saving us, could you also save my lover..."
He had no choice but to place his hope on the owner of the Black Lotus.
However, the response was a voice devoid of any emotion.
"That’s not a question you should ask, and I didn’t intend to save you, nor will I help you save anyone else."
"I..." The Long-armed Ape was instantly at a loss for words.
Lin Heng, however, suddenly asked, "Are you, the Buddha of Wutian?"
He wasn’t just guessing; the Black Lotus before him greatly resembled the one he knew from films in his previous life.
Moreover, from his earlier conversation with the Great Ming King, it wasn’t hard to discern that he and the Tathagata of the Buddhist Sect were arch-enemies.
Adding the fact that this place belonged to the Demon Race.
With all these connections, Lin Heng surmised this title.
Although it seemed somewhat absurd.
But the familiar figures like Xu Changqing, Demon Venerable Chong Lou, and others had all appeared.
The existence of the Buddha of Wutian might not be impossible!
"Wutian?" The Long-armed Ape showed a look of shock when he heard Lin Heng mention the name and blurted out, "You’re the malevolent consequence cut off by Tathagata before he became a Saint?"
Lin Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, Wutian truly existed in this world!
The owner of the Black Lotus fell into a brief silence, and after a while, a voice filled with impatience resounded in the void.
"Are you leaving or not?"
"I’m not leaving!" The Long-armed Ape directly refused, his gaze fixed on the Buzhou Mountain Peak: "If she’s not here, I’ll stay!"
The Long-armed Ape showed his determination, preferring death over leaving.
Lin Heng spoke calmly: "Buddha of Wutian, could you assist us?"
"No." The refusal from the void was straightforward.
"Alright, farewell."
Lin Heng was equally straightforward, without further words, he summoned the Somersault Cloud, picked up the Long-armed Ape, and flew directly towards Buzhou Mountain.
The original location fell into silence.
After a long while, a faint chuckle echoed, and then the Black Lotus merged into the void and disappeared.
...
At that moment.
The four women were once again taken onto the altar.
The Great Ming King activated the Spirit Pearl of the altar, creating a halo that enveloped them once more.
Subsequently, the Feathers continuously shook down the Five-Colored Divine Light, forming an impenetrable barrier at the peak of Buzhou Mountain.
The Six-Eared Macaque frowned slightly, gazing at the mountain peak and said, "Bodhisattva, she’s guarding against you."
"It’s normal, understandable." Ksitigarbha remained calm and unhurried, seemingly not intending to compete with the Great Ming King.
This left Diting and the Six-Eared Macaque anxious internally, but not daring to say much.
They could only suppress their restlessness and wait for a change.
Meanwhile, over here.
The Long-armed Ape followed Lin Heng towards Buzhou Mountain, looking at the actions of the Great Ming King at the altar, he couldn’t help but ask:
"What should we do now?"
"No choice, we can only see if we can pull in external support," Lin Heng said.
"External support? Who else would help us?"
After realizing he was deceived by the Demon Ancestor, the Long-armed Ape found it hard to trust any Quasi-Saint.
"Look, those two."
Lin Heng directed his gaze towards Princess Iron Fan and the Nameless Quasi-Saint who had already ceased fighting.
"Impossible."
The Long-armed Ape shook his head and said, "That Quasi-Saint is a person of Demon Venerable Chong Lou, how could he help us?"
"As for Princess Iron Fan..."
"Sigh..." The Long-armed Ape sighed softly.
Although Princess Iron Fan had indeed saved him earlier, the Long-armed Ape understood that it was merely following the orders of the Demon Ancestor.
When he and the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts escaped, the cold glance from Princess Iron Fan clearly showed that she knew they couldn’t leave at all.
It’s safe to say,
After the fall of the three saints of the Demon Race, Princess Iron Fan not directly taking action against us was already considered benevolence and righteousness.
To expect her to help again, to hinder the altar’s proceedings, is simply a fool’s dream.
"Let’s at least give it a try."
Lin Heng made no guarantees, just piloting the Somersault Cloud towards Princess Iron Fan.
Princess Iron Fan, wearing a black gauze skirt that swayed elegantly, stood independently in the void, exuding utmost nobility.
As Lin Heng and the Long-armed Ape arrived, she remained aloof and indifferent, her face showing no change, addressing the Long-armed Ape coldly:
"You could have left, why come back to court death?"
The Long-armed Ape’s eyes were complicated: "So, it was all the Demon Ancestor’s plot, but why hasn’t he appeared yet? What exactly does he intend to do?"
"You’ll know before you die."
Princess Iron Fan’s demeanor was indifferent, her gaze fixed on the altar, completely ignoring Lin Heng beside the Long-armed Ape.
Lin Heng took a deep breath and spoke up: "Princess Iron Fan, the Ox Demon King and Red Boy are currently serving in my Immortal Court."
Princess Iron Fan showed no expression: "It has nothing to do with me."
She was like a calmed pool of ice water in the snowy mountains, unaffected by the flying snowflakes.
"What I mean is, have you never thought about reuniting with them? Red Boy misses you very much," Lin Heng said.
"That has nothing to do with you either." Her gaze remained on the altar, not sparing Lin Heng even a glance.
"Indeed."
Lin Heng nodded, then suddenly said, "I have news of your brother."
Hmm?
At these words, a ripple finally appeared in Princess Iron Fan’s eyes as she looked coldly at Lin Heng.
"My brother has long since passed, with only me, a Rakshasa, left in this world."
Her eyes were proud, yet somehow, the sentence that declared she was the only Rakshasa left in this world inexplicably evoked a sense of sadness.
"No, he’s still alive!" Lin Heng said.
Princess Iron Fan was taken aback, then let out a cold laugh: "I won’t help you."
Clearly, she believed Lin Heng was deceiving her in a bid for assistance.
However, Lin Heng directly retrieved an unopened family letter from the System Space.
"This is what the Black Rakshasa entrusted me to give you before my ascension."
With a flick of his finger, the letter fell near Princess Iron Fan.
Her elegant brows furrowed, skeptical, she reached out to touch it and suddenly widened her eyes, showing an expression of disbelief.
Lin Heng calmly said, "The Black Rakshasa, along with the fragmented Underworld, has descended to the Small Thousand World before my ascension."
These words caused.
The Long-armed Ape’s gaze to turn peculiar immediately.
Another Rakshasa in this world?
He was secretly puzzled and uncertain whether Lin Heng’s words were true or false.
On the contrary, after the letter landed in Princess Iron Fan’s hands, her heart was already deeply disturbed.
Princess Iron Fan gave Lin Heng a deep look, then suddenly disappeared into the sky, taking the letter with her.
"Wait, why did she leave?"
The Long-armed Ape was somewhat taken aback.
Even Lin Heng found himself at a loss for a moment, but quickly realized that Princess Iron Fan likely left to avoid other Quasi-Saints realizing something.
"What should we do now?"
The Long-armed Ape glanced at the altar, where the four women were once again enveloped by the halo, and the Power of Merit and Qi of Creation suspended in the sky began to fluctuate again.
The Great Ming King seemed to be performing some sort of Secret Technique, presumably attempting to use special means to guide the heavenly fortunes to descend.
