Chapter 809: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 35

"Haha, this formation was specially set up by the Buddha using his soul black lotus as a medium. It's wishful thinking for you to break it open with your golden hoop!"

The commotion caused by Sun Wukong rescuing the Three Holy Mothers would naturally alarm the White Elephant King who was in charge of guarding the Three Holy Mothers. He came out from the corner unhurriedly with a mocking smile on his face, completely disregarding his own safety. It was obvious that he had concluded that Sun Wukong did not dare to do anything to him if he wanted to rescue the Three Holy Mothers.

"It's you?!" When the Third Holy Mother heard the voice, she immediately recognized the White Elephant King, "It was you who pretended to be Nezha and deceived me!" The Third Holy Mother ignored her own injuries and wanted to rush over to take revenge when she saw the White Elephant King.

There was a flash of purple light, and the Third Holy Mother crashed into the barrier of the formation with a bang. The reaction force knocked the Third Holy Mother to the ground. The Third Holy Mother glared at the White Elephant King angrily, and turned to ask Sun Wukong for help.

"Great Sage, this is the man. He disguised himself as Nezha and tricked me into going to Lingshan. Please help me, Great Sage."

Sun Wukong had already been enemies with Wu Tian, ​​so he was not afraid of killing one more of Wu Tian's men. Without the Three Holy Mothers' continued requests, Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel and attacked the White Elephant King.

The White Elephant King really didn't expect Sun Wukong to be so reckless, and he quickly said, "You can't kill me. If you kill me, you will never find a way to unlock this formation!"

"Do you know how to unlock the formation?" Sun Wukong stopped, looking a little doubtful, "Hurry up and tell me how to unlock the formation, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"I can help you break the formation, but I have a condition." Even at this time, the White Elephant King was still thinking about bargaining.

Sun Wukong sneered and didn't want to agree, but then he thought, it's not impossible to fool the White Elephant King first to get the method to unlock the formation and then kill him, so he pretended to agree to the White Elephant King's conditions and put down the golden hoop in his hand, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

"I, I want the Precious Lotus Lantern." The White Elephant King had brought San Sheng Mu to Lingshan on a whim just for the Precious Lotus Lantern in her hands, but the Precious Lotus Lantern was an innate treasure and had the spiritual energy to recognize its master on its own. As long as San Sheng Mu did not cancel her recognition of the master, no one else could use the Precious Lotus Lantern.

The Precious Lotus Lantern was not Sun Wukong's, so he naturally had no say in the matter. He just looked up and asked the Three Holy Mothers, the owner of the Precious Lotus Lantern, with his eyes whether she was willing to agree.

The Third Holy Mother naturally did not want to agree, but she had been imprisoned in Lingshan for so long and knew nothing about the situation outside. She really wanted to go out and see how Erlang Shen Yang Jian and her daughter Chenxiang were doing.

The Third Holy Mother thought silently. Seeing this, the White Elephant King began to get impatient. In order to make the Third Holy Mother honestly break the ties with the Precious Lotus Lantern, he directly told her the connection between the formation and the Precious Lotus Lantern, urging the Third Holy Mother to make a decision as soon as possible.

"You better make a decision quickly. If you don't make a decision now, it will be too late when the transformation formation time comes."

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Wukong frowned and asked directly. The White Elephant King chuckled and began to explain to the two, "I have said before that this formation was set up by the Buddha using his soul black lotus as a medium. So do you know why the Buddha's soul black lotus can also trap the Three Holy Mothers who possess the Precious Lotus Lantern in the formation?"

“That’s naturally because the Precious Lotus Lantern and the Black Lotus are both innate treasures, and will also be contaminated by the evil spirit in the Black Lotus!” As a demon, King White Elephant cannot touch the Precious Lotus Lantern, let alone use it. The reason why he asked for the Precious Lotus Lantern now is just because he calculated that the Precious Lotus Lantern has been contaminated by evil spirits under the blessing of the formation.

"If you wait any longer, I'm afraid that even if you don't hand over the Precious Lotus Lantern, the Third Holy Mother won't be able to use it anymore." If the White Elephant King hadn't been afraid that by the time the formation was completely transformed, the Precious Lotus Lantern would have turned into the Magic Lotus Lantern and fallen into the hands of other people, he wouldn't have secretly stayed by the Third Holy Mother's side.

"What? How could this happen?" The Third Holy Mother was unwilling to believe it. She took out the Precious Lotus Lantern to check, and saw that the originally pure and flawless lotus heart of the Precious Lotus Lantern had turned dark purple. As the formation operated, the dark purple color continued to spread from the lotus heart to the outer petals of the Precious Lotus Lantern.

The Third Holy Mother put her spiritual consciousness into the Precious Lotus Lantern, and after a careful examination, she was sweating profusely and said with a pale face, "It's demonic energy."

Obviously, what the White Elephant King said was true, and now the Third Holy Mother was really anxious. Sun Wukong didn't care much, because to him, it was just a white elephant monster. It didn't matter if he gave it to him first. At worst, he could just take it back. But it wasn't his thing after all, so Sun Wukong couldn't say anything.

The Third Holy Mother tried to use her spiritual consciousness to remove the evil spirit from the Precious Lotus Lantern, but her spiritual consciousness was already close to the evil spirit in the Precious Lotus Lantern, just like a drop of water dropped into ink. Apart from adding a tiny amount to the ink, it had no way to change the concentration of the ink, let alone turn the ink back into clear water.

"No, there is no way to remove the evil spirit from the Precious Lotus Lantern." The Third Holy Mother finally gave up and nodded in agreement to the White Elephant King's request. The White Elephant King was so naive that he actually thought that the Third Holy Mother's nod meant that Sun Wukong also agreed to his conditions, so he honestly told Sun Wukong the way to unlock the formation on the spot.

Sun Wukong signaled to the Three Holy Mothers to get out of the way, and then began to destroy the formation one direction at a time according to the method given by the White Elephant King. This time, the golden cudgel finally did not cause the Three Holy Mothers to be backlashed by the formation. After hitting 49 key locations in a row, the magic formation that trapped the Three Holy Mothers finally completely dissipated in front of her eyes.

"Great! I'm finally out." The Third Holy Mother was really scared this time. She was very excited after being released, but she didn't forget her agreement with the White Elephant King. She actually handed the Precious Lotus Lantern, which had turned into a Black Heart Lotus, to the White Elephant King.

The White Elephant King took it with joy in his eyes, feeling that he would soon become the next Buddha. He was fantasizing that in the future he would use the Precious Lotus Lamp to refine a treasure like Wujitian's Black Lotus, and his status would rise steadily in front of the Giant Scorpion, the Black Robe and others, when he heard a familiar voice calling him.

"and many more."

The White Elephant King turned around and asked in confusion: "Third Holy Mother, you have been rescued. I did not lie to you. Our deal is over." So, why did Sun Wukong stop him?

"Are you planning to go back on your word?!" The White Elephant King covered the Precious Lotus Lantern in his arms with his hands. "How could the dignified Monkey King be such a treacherous person? This is really..."

"What do you mean by going back on your word? I, Old Sun, never promised to let you go!" The Third Holy Mother only promised to hand over the Precious Lotus Lantern to him, but she did not promise to let him go.
