Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"Buddha Wutian, no need for you to trouble yourself. I was just taking a stroll here when I had nothing else to do. But you, Buddha Wutian, seem to have quite the refined taste, still having the mood to wander around the Western Paradise at this moment." Buddha Tianlong replied indifferently. He didn't know why he had impulsively cooperated with Buddha Wutian, even though he knew it was a mistake.

Chapter 1000 Nezha Escapes the Underworld

It should be said that Tianlong Buddha could not control his emotions. It was as if there was an invisible force pulling him. A voice in his heart kept telling him not to act rashly and to wait for the right opportunity. That's why he has not fought with Wutian yet.

They both understood each other implicitly. Although they had never fought, they both had a feeling that they were evenly matched and that if they were to actually fight, neither of them would gain any advantage.

"Hmph, don't think I wouldn't dare kill you." Wutian Buddha threatened without any politeness. Although they all felt the same way, Wutian didn't know how to restrain himself at all, which was of course largely due to his personality.

"Tianlong wouldn't dare, but you can't kill me." Tianlong Buddha thought for a moment. He realized that he couldn't kill him even after five days of forging. He had also carefully studied the other's techniques before, and they seemed to be somewhat similar to his own. If he was careful, there wouldn't be any major problems.

Wutian was enraged by Tianlong Buddha, and the two began to fight in the Western Paradise. At first, they were both a little confused, but gradually they found each other's weaknesses and tricks. As a result, their strengths were evenly matched and neither could hurt the other.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, Ayinava and Nezha fought their way from the underworld to the outside, but neither could gain the upper hand.

"I'm not playing with you anymore, I'm leaving first!" Suddenly, Nezha summoned his Wind Fire Wheels and quickly left the underworld, leaving Ayinava stomping her feet in anger.

It turns out that all of this was planned by Nezha. He used Ayinava to leave the underworld and escape quickly. If he had relied on his own abilities to escape alone, it would have been quite difficult. Even if he escaped Ayinava's hands, he would not have escaped Wutian's hands. That's why he tricked Ayinava into taking him outside the underworld.

Ayinava was incredibly foolish. Knowing that Wutian had already given orders not to leave the Underworld, he still led Nezha to the outside of the Underworld. The gates of the Underworld had already been sealed off by the Buddha Wutian, and all the people of the Heavenly Court were vainly trying to escape through the barrier.

For their own people, they all possessed something that could actively dispel barriers. Nezha had already discovered this principle, which was why he took Ayinava away from the underworld. But he actually fell for it.

After Nezha left the underworld, he was discovered by Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun on the other side of the crystal ball. Of course, it was Bu Jingyun who discovered him first. Bu Jingyun has excellent intelligence and eyesight, so when he learned of Nezha's intentions, he asked Nie Feng to help Ayina.

"Nie Feng, hurry up and help Ayina send Nezha back to the Underworld. Remember, you must not let him leave the Underworld." Although Bu Jingyun's expression was very serious, Nie Feng was completely unaware of the crisis that was brewing inside.

Nie Feng thought that Bu Jingyun was retaliating against him because he had taken Bu Jingyun's position as his right-hand man. Actually, it wasn't really taking his position; rather, they were both Wutian Buddha's right-hand men.

He then said, "I'm not going, you go if you want to." Who knew if Bu Jingyun was telling the truth or not? Nie Feng was still observing the crystal ball, and nothing seemed amiss!

What appeared to Nie Feng was the intense passion between the two, but he didn't notice that Nezha and Ayinava were fighting at the entrance of the Underworld, nor did he consider what the consequences would be if the two left the Underworld.

Bu Jingyun glanced back at Nie Feng and felt there was no need to say anything more to him. Nie Feng was completely out of his mind and didn't know who he was anymore!

Why bother Nie Feng? I can handle this little thing myself. Bu Jingyun secretly encouraged herself. Although Nie Feng's magic power was slightly higher than hers, he was still quite capable and should be able to subdue Nezha.

Bu Jingyun prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Nezha, the Third Prince, had not used Ayinava to leave the Demon Realm. Wutian Buddha had instructed before leaving that Nezha could run around in the Demon Realm, but could not be allowed to enter the human world, otherwise a strange change would occur in the Demon Realm.

Bu Jingyun was truly intelligent. He never considered leaving the Five Heavens to seek refuge with anyone, because he knew that once he left the Five Heavens, no one in the Heavenly Court would genuinely help him, just like Ayinava, no one would truly consider him one of their own.

Because he would betray, and any betrayal, no matter when or how, is unacceptable. The look in Wutian Buddha's eyes before had already shown everything; the way he looked at Ayinava was like the look of someone looking at a corpse.

Bu Jingyun and the Saiyan Broly rushed to the exit from the underworld to the human world. At this time, the two were no longer seen at the entrance of the underworld, only the stones rolling on the ground testified to the fierce battle that had just taken place.

Bu Jingyun's heart skipped a beat. This was really bad. If Nezha escaped, then they would all be in deep trouble.

"Broly, let's go out and take a look." Bu Jingyun's eyes were icy cold, and he secretly resented himself for not discovering Nezha's intentions sooner, and for entrusting that idiot Nie Feng to help Ayinava.

"Wait for me, wait for me..." Nie Feng watched Bu Jingyun leave in a hurry, feeling uneasy. Fearing that something unexpected might have happened as Bu Jingyun had said, he chased after him with concern.

Bu Jingyun glanced at Nie Feng before leading his men out of the Underworld's barrier, where he happened to see the furious Ayinava standing at the Underworld's gate, cursing loudly.

"Ayinava, where is Nezha?" Bu Jingyun's heart sank instantly. Could this idiot have really let Nezha go?

"What Nezha? How would I know where he is?" Ayinava, afraid that Wutian Buddha would find out that he had let Nezha escape, dared not admit it. His eyes darted around, and he pointed the finger at Bu Jingyun:

"Oh! I know, it's you! Did you let Nezha escape? I'm going to tell the Buddha Wutian and have him punish you with death."

Ayinava was unaware that the others had witnessed his fight with Nezha from beginning to end, and even now he was still trying to argue his way out of it, attempting to pin the blame for letting Nezha go on them.

Chapter 1001 The Death of Ayinava

"Which direction did he go?" Nie Feng pondered for a long time before asking Ayina. Nezha couldn't escape. Wutian Buddha had said before that no one should be allowed to escape from the underworld, and no one should be allowed to see Sun Wukong.

Therefore, he had to find Nezha and bring him back, because he couldn't let Nezha go, as it was a major taboo of the Buddha Wutian.

"Ainava, you actually let Nezha go! Come and die!" Vegeta and Aininava engaged in battle. Aininava was ultimately no match for Vegeta and was defeated.

Vegeta's fist landed on Aiñava's face, and he drew the longsword from his back, holding it across Aiñava's neck, right at the location of the carotid artery.

"Vegeta, you can't do this! The Buddha of No Heaven will not let you get away with this!" Ainava lay on the ground, looking down at Vegeta in terror.

He didn't think about dying now; he couldn't die yet. He still wanted to trample the Buddha underfoot and tell him that he was stronger than him.

"Vegeta, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Buddha of No Heaven for doing this?" Aiñava tried to distract Vegeta so that she would have a chance to escape.

"Enough with the nonsense, come and die!" Vegeta remained unmoved, drew his long sword, raised it high, and brought it down with a powerful clang, accompanied by a gust of wind.

Cold sweat poured from Ainava's forehead. He was unwilling to die at Vegeta's hands. Driven by his own unwillingness, Ainava unleashed his power at the last moment, dodging Vegeta's sword with a sidestep.

Seeing this, Vegeta was displeased. He missed with his first strike, so he struck again, his longsword whistling as it came at him once more. This time, Aiñava was prepared. He fought Vegeta with the idea of ​​running away if he couldn't win, and only defended and did not attack.

Vegeta and Aiñava were locked in a fierce battle, their swords flashing and neither gaining the upper hand.

Both were using all their strength; one wanted to kill the other, while the other wanted to escape.

"Buddha of the Five Heavens!" Suddenly, Aiñava shouted "Buddha of the Five Heavens" behind Vegeta, successfully tricking Vegeta.

Vegeta looked back but there was no sign of the Buddha of No Heaven. When he turned back with her, Aynava had already slipped away, leaving only his back view.

Bu Jingyun had been watching from the sidelines. He hadn't planned to participate and thought he could kill Aininava with Vegeta's help. But at the last moment, Aininava escaped!

With a flick of his wrist, Bu Jingyun unleashed a lightning ball that shot out from his palm, striking Ayinafa directly. Ayinafa was hit by the lightning ball and collapsed to the ground.

When Daibu Jingyun and Vegeta arrived, Ayinava was covered in black electricity, his hair and beard stood up straight, and he was barely clinging to life.

Vegeta stepped forward and delivered another blow, finally feeling satisfied. He had thought Aiñava was his prize, but the cunning fellow had tricked him at the last moment, making him lose face so badly. Even killing him wouldn't have been enough to vent his anger.

Aynava was killed by this sword. He was only half alive and had a sliver of hope that they would let him go. But Vegeta stepped forward and slashed him with a sword. This sword contained powerful spiritual energy and shattered his carotid artery.

Qiao Ling'er and Fairy Biyou, having failed to find the White Lotus, decided to grab a bite to eat and inquire about its whereabouts. They chose the busiest teahouse, "Bai Xian Lou," where information was always readily available. After a moment's thought, they went inside.

"Qiao Ling'er, who is Bai Lianhua?" Fairy Biyou had wanted to ask who Bai Lianhua was, but she was afraid of hearing something Qiao Ling'er didn't want to hear.

But now, it's obvious that Qiao Ling'er cares a lot about that guy called White Lotus. She doesn't know what happened between White Lotus and Qiao Ling'er during the days she disappeared, or why he's protecting her like this. A sense of crisis suddenly rises in Fairy Biyou's heart.

"Lianhua is... she is my savior, Biyou, don't overthink it!" Qiao Ling'er panicked when she heard Biyou's question, and in her haste, she grabbed Biyou's hand to explain.

For some reason, Qiao Ling'er was unwilling to let Fairy Biyou know about his relationship with Bai Lianhua. As for why he didn't want her to know, even he couldn't say. Was it love? If he loved Fairy Biyou, then what kind of feelings did he have for Bai Lianhua?

"I believe you, Ling'er." As Fairy Biyou was filling her cup with water from the kettle, she was suddenly gripped tightly by a large hand. Sensing the tension of the hand's owner, Biyou felt a ripple in her heart and blushed.

"Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to." Qiao Ling'er then realized that she had grabbed Bi You's hand in her haste. Seeing Bi You's embarrassed look, she felt a little shy herself and quickly let go.

Just then, Bai Lianhua stepped into the teahouse and happened to see Qiao Ling'er taking her hand away from Bi You's. Bi You looked shy and said softly, "It's alright."

Seeing this, Bai Lianhua was unsure whether to leave, so she stopped at the doorway and stared blankly in the direction of the two.

Qiao Ling'er and Fairy Biyou chatted and laughed incessantly. To Bai Lianhua, all of this felt like needles pricking her heart. Although she couldn't hear their conversation, it was easy to see the intimacy and happiness between them.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go in! You're blocking the way." Because Bai Lianhua stood at the entrance without moving forward or backward, the area behind her quickly became crowded with guests who wanted to enter "Bai Xian Lou". Some impatient guests couldn't help but curse when they saw that Bai Lianhua had no intention of moving.

...................

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Bai Lianhua was brought back to her senses by the man's shout. Fearing that she would make too much noise, she quickly apologized and turned to leave.

At this moment, she hesitated. She dared not go in, dared not listen to Qiao Ling'er's conversation with the girl from earlier, so she could only suppress her inner pain and flee in panic.

Chapter 1002 Biyou is Jealous

Qiao Ling'er, if you don't have me in your heart, then I'm willing to let go.

Bai Lianhua thought for a long time. If she were still the same as before, she might still have the confidence to compete with that girl. She wasn't the kind of person who was afraid of losing. It was just that with her current appearance, she really didn't have the confidence to try.

So, Qiao Ling'er, farewell forever. I hope you will be happy.

When Qiao Ling'er heard the noise and looked outside, Bai Lianhua had already turned and run away. She only saw a corner of her clothes and her back. Watching the fleeting figure, Qiao Ling'er frowned. That figure seemed familiar.

"What are you looking at?" Fairy Biyou waved her hand in front of Qiao Ling'er's eyes and found that the person in front of her was staring blankly in the direction of the door.

Following Qiao Ling'er's gaze, one must have glanced outside. Apart from customers coming and going, there was nothing special about it!

"It's nothing! I just thought I hit someone I knew, so I was a little dazed." Qiao Ling'er looked away and gazed gently at Fairy Biyou.

Looking at Bi You in front of him, so gentle, kind, understanding, and generous, there was nothing about her that wouldn't move him. Qiao Ling'er felt an urge to pull her into his arms.

There were just too many people here, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only think about it in his heart, really wanting to hold that woman in his arms.

"Have you heard? I heard that the bandit leader, White Lotus, was rescued by two monks," an old man said mysteriously.

"Have you heard about it too? I have too. Apparently, there's a monk who looks like a monkey and another who looks like a pig. I heard they're really scary-looking!" Another burly man said heartily, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a wine jug in the other, with his feet on a stool.

"Yes, yes, I heard that Bai Lianhua is a good person! My aunt's second cousin's third cousin's fourth uncle was there at the time, and I heard that everyone present knelt down and begged to let Bai Lianhua go." A burly woman joined in after hearing the discussion.

"What do you know! I was saved by that female bandit Bai Lianhua. Although Bai Lianhua is a woman and a bandit, she is a very good person! If it weren't for her help, almost all of the more than one hundred people in Shanghe Village would have starved to death."

For a time, thanks to the old man's introduction, everyone was talking about this White Lotus, and everyone praised her. It turned out that many people here had been helped by White Lotus, and she was truly a good person who robbed the rich to help the poor.

An old man sincerely expressed his respect for Bai Lianhua. While Bai Lianhua was considered a villain by the court officials, she was their provider and savior in the eyes of the common people.

Qiao Ling'er and Fairy Biyou were originally preparing to leave "Hundred Immortals Pavilion". However, they overheard the words "white lotus" and decided to stay there for a while.

For a time, everyone in the building was discussing Bai Lianhua's goodness, which showed how popular she was.

Of course, some uninformed people also subtly criticized the "white lotus" for trying to win people's hearts by giving them small favors, which made these people stand up for her.

Of course, this voice was quickly suppressed by the die-hard fans of the White Lotus. As soon as they heard someone say bad things about the White Lotus, everyone in the "Hundred Immortals Pavilion" was unhappy.

"Qiao Ling'er..." Fairy Biyou looked at Qiao Ling'er, who was deep in thought, and felt a little flustered. She hadn't expected that the girl called "White Lotus" would be so highly regarded by others!

Qiao Ling'er is so kind, and Bai Lianhua is also so kind. Could she fall in love with her? Just thinking about this made Biyou Fairy very uncomfortable. Her heart suddenly ached, and she clutched her heart. What was wrong with her? Why had she never felt like this before?

Fairy Biyou wondered if she was injured. Otherwise, why would her heart hurt? If she was injured, how did she get injured without any warning?

"What's wrong? Biyou?" Qiao Ling'er came to her senses and saw Biyou looking pained. She quickly supported her and looked at Biyou with concern.

"It's alright, let's go back!" Biyou said.
