Chapter 3899 Everything went smoothly...?
"You...who are you?!"
Faced with the Arhat soldier who suddenly appeared in front of them, the magic masters were all terrified... some even drew their weapons!
Although they are only spellbreakers, it doesn't mean they have no ability to protect themselves at all.
Suddenly, Di Qinglong pressed his hands down, saying, "Masters, don't be nervous. I mean no harm. I just believe that we can indeed cooperate once."
Master Wang frowned. "You won't even reveal your identity, so why should we believe you?"
"You gentlemen are already at your wits' end," Di Qinglong chuckled. "If you can't resolve the Buddha's problem, then I suppose... I don't need to elaborate on the consequences, do I? Since you gentlemen are already planning to take a gamble, why not increase your stakes?"
"You...you wait a moment." Master Wang pondered for a moment.
He then gestured to the other masters, and then they walked aside in tacit understanding and began to discuss in hushed tones... Di Qinglong waited patiently, and even turned his back to show his sincerity.
……
"Old Wang... what do we have to say? Are we really going to cooperate with this guy of unknown origin?"
"Do we have any other choice? Can you think of another way in three hours... no, in two and a half hours?"
"How about this, if it doesn't work out... if it doesn't work out, let's take a gamble!"
"My life is in danger..."
……
The masters' discussion didn't last long. Master Wang, as their representative, approached Di Qinglong again and asked directly, "How do you plan to cooperate with us?"
“It’s not me…it’s us.” Di Qinglong said with a smile, “Come out, let the masters meet us.”
Then, from the shadows around the room, three more Arhat soldiers emerged one after another... The masters' expressions changed slightly.
"You...you guys?" Master Wang suddenly felt that the situation seemed to be getting out of control.
Di Qinglong said calmly, "Master, please don't mind. After all, even within the Central Spiritual Mountain, there isn't only one voice... As for the Buddha's echelon, there are actually some people who are dissatisfied with the Buddha's daily behavior."
The masters fell silent.
They had witnessed the brutality of the "Three Buddhas"... It seems reasonable that some subordinates would be dissatisfied with the unpredictable Buddha.
As for whether this involves factional strife within the Central Spiritual Mountain... it seems like an extremely dangerous vortex. If their lives weren't in imminent danger, they genuinely wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.
"How...how do you plan to cooperate?" Master Wang suddenly asked, his heart pounding with fear.
"Of course, we hope that the masters can cooperate well." Di Qinglong blinked. "Don't worry, as long as the plan goes smoothly, the masters will definitely be able to leave the palace safely... and perhaps, they will even receive a generous reward."
Master Wang said calmly, "It's good enough that I can save my life, let alone talk about compensation."
Di Qinglong smiled but remained silent.
……
……
"Oh? Those old guys really came up with a solution?"
In the palace where the Buddha Prince rested, facing the bald man in white robes who came to report, the Buddha Prince's tone clearly carried a hint of surprise, "Indeed, people need to be pushed a little to show their potential... Bring them all up!"
In her candy-like form, Lord [Three Buddhas' Son] doesn't want to change for even a moment... not even a second!
Soon, a bald man in a white robe, with his head down, led several Arhat soldiers in—each of whom was escorting a magic-expelling master.
The Three Buddhas were oblivious to the subtle abnormalities of the bald man in white robes—all its attention was focused on the exorcism masters. "I heard you've come up with a solution?"
Master Wang was about to speak when he found himself being tightly held by the Arhat soldiers behind him, so he struggled a few times in protest.
The Three Buddhas said calmly, "Be polite to the master."
Then the Arhat soldiers hurriedly and respectfully released Master Wang... The other masters were also freed at this time.
"Speak," said the [Three-Life Buddha's Son] indifferently, "Don't keep this Buddha's Son waiting any longer."
Master Wang hesitated for a moment and looked around at the people—there were not only them in the room, but also many white-robed servants who originally served the [Three Buddhas].
“Master Buddha, may we dismiss your attendants first?” Master Wang said, his forehead slightly damp. “This matter is of great importance. This matter can only be known to a few of us, Master Buddha, and you alone. This is the only solution we can think of right now.”
[The Three Buddhas] did not respond immediately.
No one knew who the Buddha was looking at—after all, he was currently only in the shape of a blue candy.
“Your Excellency, we must protect you! This is inappropriate!” The men in white robes beside them quickly said, “What if they have malicious intentions…”
The blue candies slowly floated up.
The surroundings immediately became quiet.
The voice of the Three Buddhas rang out again, “These are my most loyal subordinates. There is nothing they cannot know. If you want to speak, then speak; if you don’t, then you will never have to speak again… There are more than just a few of you who can dispel magic in the world.”
Upon hearing this, the bald men in white robes around them showed obvious signs of being moved and proud... Although the Buddha was cruel in private, he still loved people like them!
Master Wang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling as he said, "Your Excellency, after our research, we and several other masters have found that it is indeed impossible to break the curse on you in a short time..."
"Hmm?" [The Three Buddhas] suddenly spoke with emphasis.
In an instant, dozens of laser beams converged on Master Wang's body... This was the room's built-in defense system—the [Three Buddhas] wouldn't really rely solely on the protection of the white-robed bald men around him.
“My lord! Although we can’t solve this in a short time… there might be a compromise!” Master Wang hurriedly said, “We can use our unique secret technique to cast a new transformation spell on you… Although this would mean you have two spells on you, at least you can be restored to your former appearance…”
"You bunch of worthless bastards deserve to die!" The bald man in white robes who had been so eager to improve at the beginning roared, "Add another transformation spell? How could you even come up with such a stupid idea! In your opinion, wouldn't it be better to use holographic simulation technology?"
"Sir, holographic technology is just an optical change after all, it's easy to spot... Ours, ours is different!" Master Wang hurriedly explained, "This is a high-level Transfiguration Charm, which allows the transformed object to possess nearly 70% of the target's abilities... It's just that, it'll be more troublesome to undo it later..."
The bald man in the white robe, eager to make progress, suddenly widened his eyes like an angry Vajra, and quickly stepped forward, about to speak... but the Buddha's disciple suddenly spoke.
"How troublesome is it?" [The Three Buddhas' Son] said in a deep voice, "Can it be more troublesome than this spell I'm currently using?"
“This…this won’t happen.” Master Wang shook his head. “This advanced transformation spell was originally developed by me. Although the method to undo it is complicated, it only requires more materials, but we can still find them…as long as we have enough materials, the spell can be broken immediately.”
Seeing that the [Three Buddhas] remained silent, Master Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Buddha, given your current condition, we need more time to study this... We are truly powerless in the short term and can only devise this method to buy time! If you can accept this, that's good. If not... well, then there's nothing more I can do. Do as you see fit!"
After saying that, Master Wang generously stretched his neck forward, looking like he was waiting to die.
The surroundings were eerily quiet... Master Wang was actually in a panic at this moment—he hadn't expected that the first step in his cooperation with Di Qinglong would be for the other party to ask him to partially reveal his plan to fish in troubled waters!
They even said something like "sincerity is the ultimate weapon"...
This is practically gambling with your life...
"You... are honest enough."
Finally, the [Three Buddhas] slowly began to speak.
The masters subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief... Had this self-destruction truly succeeded in gaining the trust of the "Three Buddhas' Son"?
"Can it really give me 70% of the ability to transform?" [Three-Life Buddha Child] suddenly asked.
Master Wang wiped away a bead of cold sweat. "Seventy percent is the ideal state... I, I guarantee I will go all out! It will absolutely not be less than fifty-five percent!"
"Then let's begin," [Three-Life Buddha Child] said calmly.
"Huh?" Master Wang was taken aback. He had thought it would take some more time.
At this moment, the Three Buddhas said again: "Everyone except these masters, leave this room... No one is allowed to step into this room without my permission."
"Buddha's disciple?!" The bald men in white robes around them exclaimed in surprise.
However, the Three Buddhas seemed determined to go their own way and directly dismissed everyone, leaving only Master Wang and a few others... But no one noticed that when Di Qinglong, who had transformed into an Arhat soldier, turned to leave, he secretly left behind a hidden card.
The card slipped from Di Qinglong's hand and vanished instantly, silently settling onto the floor...
……
On the golden silk cushion, the blue candy remained motionless, and no one knew what state the [Three Buddhas' Son] was in at this moment.
Master Wang originally planned to keep Di Qinglong and the others behind under the pretext of needing help... but unexpectedly, the "Three-Life Buddha" suddenly dismissed everyone, disrupting their initial plan.
Given its current state, they can only improvise—after all, they were originally going to give this blue candy a makeover anyway.
"Don't even think you can deal with this Buddha's disciple." The Three Buddhas Disciple suddenly said, "If you have any evil intentions, you will be pierced through the body immediately."
Instantly, each master was covered by at least thirty laser beams... One of them was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"I dare not...I dare not..." Master Wang bowed and scraped, "Buddha's disciple...how about we begin to restore your former glorious beauty right now?"
"No rush." [The Three Buddhas] suddenly asked, "After the Superposition Transformation Spell, will I be able to use cards to transform?"
“Of course.” Master Wang nodded without hesitation. “After all, it’s still you at heart. The cards that were originally compatible with you can naturally continue to be used… It might not be as smooth as before, but the impact shouldn’t be significant!”
"Very good." [The Three Buddhas] suddenly laughed a few times, and then a beam of light shone down from the crystal chandelier in the room. "You will cast a new shapeshifting spell on me, based on this person's appearance!"
“This…what is this?!”
Master Wang's eyes widened instantly... The other masters also gasped – because they were all too familiar with the template requested by the [Three Buddhas]!
—Xuanzang!
—The highest bounty on the [Traveler's Creed]!
"You just need to follow this template." [Three-Life Buddha] said calmly, "Don't be curious about anything else... if you shouldn't ask."
"Yes, yes, yes... let's begin!" Master Wang took a deep breath. "Buddha's disciple, cast the spell. A few of us... a few of us need to get close to you."
"Hmm." [The Three Buddhas] responded faintly.
"I apologize for the intrusion, Venerable Master!" Master Wang took another deep breath, gestured to his old companions, and slowly approached the location of the golden silk prayer mat.
However, the laser spots scattered on them did not disappear at all, and they continued to move with them.
They silently surrounded the golden silk cushion, stretching out their hands... The phantom cards representing the abilities of the spellcaster gathered above each person's head.
Then, streaks of silver light began to illuminate the blue candy inside the golden silk cushion!
Just then, the invisible card stuck to the floor suddenly flew out... Then a ripple like water spread out, and a Luohan soldier appeared out of thin air in the room.
"What are you doing here?!" [Three-Life Buddha Child] was the first to react. "Step back... No, this is... [Exchange Card]? Who are you?!"
Di Qinglong quickly took out a brand new card, "[Cave Heaven Card]...Activate!"
In an instant, an orange spherical light shield enveloped everything within a ten-meter radius... The laser beams that had been locked onto the masters instantly lost their targets and began to spin erratically like flies!
Meanwhile, within the spherical light shield, Di Qinglong was already sitting cross-legged on a golden silk futon... In his hand, he held a semi-transparent crystal box, inside which was a blue candy—[Three-Life Buddha Child]!
The blue candy, in a fit of rage, thrashed wildly inside the crystal box, but to no avail... it couldn't even make a sound.
“Master Buddha, save your energy. This was prepared especially for you.” Di Qinglong smiled slightly. “After all, no matter how strong a person is, once they can no longer use the [First Element]… they are truly powerless.”
The sudden appearance of Di Qinglong and the subsequent imprisonment of the [Three Buddhas] left Master Wang and the others completely dumbfounded... How did this guy get such an extremely rare card as the [Replacement Card]?
Shouldn't this thing be under the control of the Central Spiritual Mountain? And this current Cave Heaven Card is also...
"Alright, Lao Wang, stop watching... Time to get back to work." Di Qinglong put the crystal box away. "After all, there's not much time. The surveillance in the room is only affected by the [Cave Heaven Card], but it will be removed soon."
"...What kind of work?" Old Wang asked blankly.
Di Qinglong pointed to himself, "Of course, it was to give me plastic surgery... to make me look like the [Three Incarnations of the Buddha]."
"What?!" Master Wang gasped in shock.
The Three Buddhas' Sons are to be transformed into Xuanzang, the most wanted criminal in the "Traveling Troops".
This guy wants to be transformed into a "Three Incarnations Buddha"... You guys, are you all going to go this far?!
Master Wang and his old friends turned ashen-faced. Now they'd all been branded as traitors...
……
The plastic surgery is in progress... Di Qinglong is conscious.
"Oh? The [Three Buddhas' Son] actually plans to have you help him transform into [Xuanzang]?"
This made Di Qinglong fall into deep thought... [Three-Life Buddha Son] Why waste this effort?
A thought struck him, and he suddenly smiled and said, "I think I know why only a few of you were left behind by the Three Buddhas."
"Why?" Master Wang asked instinctively.
"So that it's easier to just get rid of you all later..."
--hiss!
Looking at the masters whose faces were clearly showing signs of fear, Di Qinglong was thinking about something else: From the moment they infiltrated until now, had everything gone too smoothly... or been too easy?
