Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Chapter 2350 Pressure (Subscription Request)

The reason why Meng Zhao asked this question was only out of a cautious idea and style.

If Zhao Ruling really regarded the Beitang royal family as his own masters and protected them with all his strength without any reservation, then the assassination of the two emperors would never have happened.

Previously, he rescued Zhao Ruling and helped him recover from his spiritual injuries. Zhao Ruling's attitude towards him was too good and too cold towards the Beitang royal family.

Although Meng Zhao seemed very close on the surface, he actually still had reservations in his heart. He would never really think that he had the domineering power to easily force an old man who had lived in the Beitang royal family for nearly a hundred years to come to his side.

Moreover, this kind of cautious, vigilant and alert mentality can never be easily dispelled. Even if he got this answer from Nagarjuna monk and confirmed his guess, Meng Zhao still couldn't maintain a certain trust in Zhao Ruling. Superficial trust and secret vigilance are already the maximum.

"I have one more question, or maybe the last one. Master Nagarjuna, why are you in such a hurry to select a successor to pass on the Mauryaprajna Sutra?"

This was also an important reason why Meng Zhao decided to come to Xiaohanshan Temple. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Since Longshu monk behaved so strangely, there must be an internal reason for it. He had no reason to just ignore it.

"This involves my recent practice. Whether it's the boy from the Feiyu clan that you transformed into or the boy from the Tianlang clan that turned into ashes, they were all vessels that I selected. It's a pity that they were destroyed by you at the last moment."

At this point, Nagarjuna really wanted to disregard everything and test the character of the person in front of him. If it were possible to kill him, he would show no mercy.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up the idea.

The reason is very simple and realistic. Meng Zhao is very powerful and his martial arts level is extremely high, maybe even above him. So, he naturally would not rashly go against such a powerful person just because of a little setback.

The celestial beings are those who have practiced martial arts to the limit of a certain stage and are about to reach the last level of practice in this world. They are all people with great supernatural powers.

For them, minor disputes, conspiracies, and even conflicts of interest are actually nothing.

Their only pursuit, or to put it more broadly, their greatest pursuit, is gods and demons, the supreme being, and the ultimate transcendence.

Of course, there are also those who are concerned about the country and the people, and there are also those who shoulder the rise and fall of the nation on their own shoulders.

But, there are very few such people.

Of course, Meng Zhao brought great trouble to Longshu monk, making his years of planning go to waste.

However, it was only a little bit of destruction. Although Nagarjuna did not have the Green Lantern Coffin, he could use other methods to continue to create a real peacock body as the residence of the Peacock God and become his own Peacock King Guardian.

Such losses are completely controllable and can be made up. Even if Xiaohanshan Temple is gone, he can build a Xiaomingwang Temple. It is not a problem at all. He has the confidence and strength to do so.

However, if he rashly went to war with Meng Zhao, the consequences would be something he could not bear.

As mentioned before, Longshu monk was not sure that he could kill Meng Zhao. On the contrary, there was a certain possibility that he would be killed instead.

Now that he's dead, isn't everything gone?

He absolutely did not want to see such a result.

Naturally, as long as Meng Zhao didn't go too far, Longshu Monk would try his best to avoid a fight.

Give him some time. If Nagarjuna monk can become the guardian Peacock King, then it won't be too late for him to come back and seek revenge on Meng Zhao.

This is not cowardice, it's just an attitude towards things.

I am not afraid of war, nor am I afraid of death, but I will never start a war recklessly, nor will I fight to the death without ability.

When Meng Zhao heard what Longshu monk said, he did not continue to ask. If he continued to ask, the possibility of war would be very high.

Meng Zhao had a similar idea to Longshu Monk, and he was not willing to fight Longshu Monk directly, and go for a life-and-death battle. In fact, he really wanted to do so, and he was certain that he might not be able to escape unscathed, but it was still worthwhile to kill such a powerful celestial being at the cost of minor injuries.

However, Meng Zhao could not guarantee what the attitude of the hundreds of tribes in the polar ice field would be if he killed Monk Longshu and made too much noise.

Will there be a top-level expert like Long Bo who performed the Sky Burial and took action to stop him?

This is his concern.

In fact, his original idea was to take advantage of Longshu's unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack on him. In this way, he might be able to eliminate the opponent at the lowest cost and with the least noise.

Now that Monk Longshu has discovered his unusual identity and is on high alert, it is difficult for him to take action.

As for why Nagarjuna was so wary of him, there was actually a reason for it.

It was not that there had never been any fighting between the two of them. On the contrary, with the help of the Heavenly Wolf Mummy, Meng Zhao had really fought with the monk Longshu.

Nagarjuna himself knew it very well.

Although the final result was that Longshu Monk burned the Heavenly Wolf's mummy to ashes with a flip of his hand, the Sun Fire Dragon was extremely domineering.

But in reality, it was Meng Zhao who used a little bit of his spiritual power to activate the Heavenly Wolf Corpse, first tearing its peacock image into pieces, and then colliding with it several times in succession before it was destroyed.

Monk Longshu really put in some effort, but Meng Zhao, to put it bluntly, was not even able to try his hand at it.

This is also the reason why Longshu monk was afraid of Meng Zhao. Did he really think that he was a coward who couldn't even figure out the other party's strengths and weaknesses, so he believed in the other party's unfathomable depth?

The reason why negotiations are possible is because of fighting.

"Master Nagarjuna, I have one last request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Nagarjuna nodded.

"Please tell me. If I can do it, I will do it. If I can't, don't bother me. At most, I'll just fight you. Although you are powerful, I am not powerless to fight back."

This was a sign of weakness in response to the pressure. Meng Zhao waved his hand.

“Not really. You are a powerful celestial being after all, and you may have some plans, but this is a matter of the Hundred Races and has nothing to do with me.

I am more concerned about the connection between you and the Beitang royal family inside Shenzhou Pass.

Let’s put it this way. I hope Master Longshu can hand over the person that Beitang Sheng sent to find you last time to me, or tell me his identity and whereabouts, so that I can feel at ease.

Otherwise, Master Nagarjuna, you will attain nirvana here today."

It can be considered an alternative form of pledge of allegiance.

Upon hearing this, the monk Nagarjuna became furious. With great momentum, an extremely majestic peacock leaped out from above his head, a hundred feet high and with an imposing manner that soared into the sky.

"You are so arrogant. If you are so arrogant, let's fight!"

This is really unbearable. You don't take me seriously.

However, Meng Zhao just smiled lightly and pointed in a direction. The originally surging momentum of Longshu monk suddenly deflated like a punctured ball.
