However, regretting it now was far too late; he had no choice but to bite the bullet and press on, lest he end up entirely isolated.
After forcibly reassuring himself, Rulai turned to Venerable Manjushri and said, "Venerable Manjushri, from this moment on, the matters of the Journey to the West are in your hands.

We cannot afford to lose."
