After the Queen Mother stepped aside, Yu Linglong emerged.
Following behind Yu Linglong was the very same Cao Ziming who had "dazzled the audience" at the Mansion of Marshal Tianpeng.
However, Tang Sanzang only recognized Yu Linglong.
That was even after paying special attention to Great Mage Xuandu.
"Greetings, Junior Sister Linglong."
Tang Sanzang tried to establish a rapport.
Yu Linglong was a Direct Disciple of Great Mage Xuandu and the second one to be initiated.
He was Buddha Tathagata's Direct Disciple, also ranking second.
By that account, he and Yu Linglong were of the same generation.
Considering the relationship between the Human Sect and the Heaven Connecting Sect, he truly was Yu Linglong's senior brother.
But Yu Linglong did not return the courtesy, instead stepping back for Cao Ziming to take the stage.
Cao Ziming did not hold back.
"Tang Sanzang, your tax evasion has come to light. Will you submit to justice here and now, or will you resist obstinately?"
