Tang Sanzang's expression was extremely ugly.
He was not prostrating himself, he had just accidentally fallen.
Moreover, he was Emperor Taizong's younger brother, so why would he need to kowtow to the ruler of a small country?
Chen Fan's words made him feel embarrassed.
Tang Sanzang wanted to get up, but he found that there seemed to be a huge mountain falling on his body. His body was out of his control and he could not move at all.
The Goat Immortal laughed loudly."This foreign monk is quite polite. He saluted first, and he even prostrated himself in the most respectful manner of the Buddhist Sect. It seems this foreign monk truly admires Your Majesty."”
"Are you repenting for what happened at the Three Purities Taoist Temple yesterday?”
"Paying respects isn't enough!" the Deer Immortal said through gritted teeth."You have to pay with your life!"”
"How can we just forget about disturbing the Three Purities Temple, tarnishing Lord Three Purities, and humiliating the three of us?”
The Tiger Immortal's killing intent surged, and then he changed his tone."However, this Penniless Priest saw that you had a heart of repentance and prostrated yourself in front of His Majesty when you met him. Therefore, I pleaded for mercy for you in front of His Majesty. I will only kill the three culprits behind you and spare your life.”
The soldiers on both sides of the road laughed mockingly. They looked at Tang Sanzang and his men with disdain and mockery in their eyes.
The laughter was extremely ear-piercing, and Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sand's faces turned red.
Yesterday, they had caused a ruckus at the Three Purities Taoist Temple and humiliated the three Imperial Advisors of the Che Chi Kingdom.
In the end, their master prostrated himself on the ground before the king of Che Chi Country, throwing back all the face they had earned back.
It wasn't that Sun Wukong and the others hadn't been taking good care of him. From the moment they had ascended the stone steps, he, Pig, and Friar Sand had been carefully protecting Tang Sanzang. They were only worried that the Tiger Immortal and the other two would be angered and attack them in public.
Thus, Sun Wukong's attention was mostly on the Tiger Immortal and the others, with only a small portion on Tang Sanzang.
Seeing that they had walked through the dozens of steps safely, the vigilance of Sun Wukong and the other two was greatly reduced. Who would have thought that Tang Sanzang would actually trip on the last step?
If the other party was highly respected and loved the people like their own children, promoting the Buddhist Dharma and forming a Buddhist affinity, there would not be too much of a problem. It would be acceptable on the surface.
However, the other party was a young boy in his early twenties. During his reign, he allowed the three Imperial Preceptor to bully the Buddhist Sect, kill monks, and despise the Buddhist Dharma.
As a Buddhist disciple, Tang Sanzang would be a joke if he went to Chen Fan's place.
"Ding! The host has successfully made things difficult for the Buddhist Sect disciples. The reward is mid-stage Human Immortal!”
"Ding! The host has successfully suppressed the prestige of the Buddhist Sect. The reward is 30 million acupuncture points of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Force!”
Chen Fan's eyes lit up and he quickly accepted the reward.
Tripping over the stone that Tang Sanzang was using to immobile him was, of course, a trick he was playing in the dark.
Just now, he had only been on a whim and wanted to weaken Tang Sanzang's prestige.
He did not expect that he would trigger a reward.
His cultivation instantly broke through to the intermediate stage of the Human Immortal realm.
Moreover, the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force technique automatically circulated, and in a moment, he had cultivated 30 million acupuncture points.
His strength had increased by a large margin. Although he was only a mid-stage Human Immortal, he could still compete with an Earth Immortal.
"Making the Buddhist Sect lose face and suppressing their prestige is also making things difficult for the Buddhist Sect.”
Chen Fan smiled happily.
Tang Sanzang, who had just stood up, was in a terrible mood. He held back his anger and said,"Your Majesty, may I ask what crime we have committed? To the extent that he wants to kill us?”
" You offended the Grand Tutor, caused a ruckus in the Three Pure Ones Taoist Temple, and insulted the Three Pure Ones Saint!" Chen Fan snapped.”
Tang Sanzang saw Sun Wukong and the others smiling cheekily from the corner of his eye. He immediately understood everything and didn't pay much attention to it. He said calmly,"We are monks from the Tang of the East who went to the Western Heaven to get scriptures. We have just come to your country.”
"This…"
Chen Fan looked at the Tiger Immortal awkwardly."State Preceptor, since they came from the Tang of the East, is there a misunderstanding?”
He smiled disdainfully in his heart. He knew that Tang Sanzang wanted to use the name of Tang of the East to intimidate him.
The Great Tang's prestige had reached its peak, and Emperor Taizong was respectfully addressed as Heavenly Khan by the foreigners of the small countries.
If the ruler of a small country dared to provoke the Great Tang, it would be equivalent to cutting off his own path and easily leading to the destruction of the country.
If his predecessor had heard the name Tang of the East, his legs would have gone weak.
However, Chen Fan wasn't afraid at all. The news might not reach the Tang of the East.
Even if the news really got back and Emperor Taizong sent troops out in anger, it was still hard to say who would kill who when the troops arrived at Che Chi Country.
However, Chen Fan couldn't act too intensely. He had to put on a full show and throw the main problem to the three Karami under him, letting them take the blame.
The Goat Immortal hurried forward, his rage soaring."Your Majesty, they let go of the monks who worked for us and caused a ruckus in the Three Purities Taoist Temple.”
"Yes! Your sins are unforgivable!"
"We must behead them and kill them!”
The Tiger Immortal and the Deer Immortal snapped in agreement.
"Your Majesty, since his crime is unforgivable, we should catch him on the spot."
Sun Wukong hopped forward and sneered,""Your state preceptor said that we let the monks who were working run away and caused trouble in the temple. Why didn't he catch us on the spot? In my opinion, it was clearly nonsense.”
"Brother Monkey is right!"
Zhu Bajie stuck out his big belly and said,""There are too many fake names. How do you know it's us?”
"I saw it clearly at that time. It was you!”
"Nonsense! Where is the evidence?"
For a moment.
The Tiger Immortal and the other two blamed each other, neither of them backing down.
Chen Fan looked at the noisy crowd in shock, but he was not worried because he saw a group of people from Che Chi Country coming to the Five Phoenix Pavilion.
Very quickly.
A personal attendant came forward and reported,
"Your Majesty, there are many commoners praying outside. Please pray for a spring rain to help the people.”
Chen Fan was overjoyed.
The matter had finally come.
