Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Cheeky Monkey

If at first the king still harbored trust in the State Preceptor, then after this so-called “fear of guilt and escape”, he clearly had no trust left for him at all.

If it weren’t for the need to have him help concoct the Elixir of Longevity, perhaps the king would have had him killed by now.

But even if he wanted the State Preceptor to concoct the Elixir of Longevity now, the king still did not trust him.

He summoned a few fierce warriors to follow the State Preceptor step by step, ready to act without mercy at any sign of abnormal behavior.

Seeing the two warriors wielding weapons beside him, the State Preceptor naturally understood what was going on and sighed inwardly but helplessly, submitting to the king’s will.

If Master Xuanzang died at his hands, the consequences would be unimaginable, but if he didn’t follow the king’s orders now, he would meet his end immediately.

So, after the matters at the execution platform were settled, the State Preceptor appeared there with the king.

Because Jiang Liu’s reputation had been rising lately, many people gathered at the execution site.

When the king and the State Preceptor appeared, many of the people started to plead for Jiang Liu’s life.

“Great King, Master Xuanzang is a good man! Please show mercy and spare him!”

“Great King, please reconsider!”

“Great King, please don’t!”
