But, would Amitabha Buddha really choose to intervene given his nature? Lu Dongbin wasn't sure.
"The matter is settled, then. Let us visit the Purple Forbidden Enclosure first."
Having made a decision, Sun Wukong was not inclined to wait.
The later he took control of the Netherworld, the more advantageous it would be for Tathagata.
If his guess was correct, by now, quite a few souls that had been converted were likely already reborn in the Eastern Continent.
Given Tathagata a little more time, even if the Netherworld was taken, even more souls would be reborn in the Eastern Continent.
Sun Wukong immediately grabbed Lu Dongbin and, riding his Somersault Cloud, flew towards the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.
"No, ugh..."
Lu Dongbin's scream came through, utterly pitiful.
Outside the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, Lu Dongbin's face was ashen; he retched, and his entire being was in disarray.
No matter how many times he rode Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud, he couldn't handle it.
