Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1684 - I'm such a clever little ghost

Amidst his loud sobs, Gu Yang was utterly alone, appearing deeply distressed.

The various demons of the Interdimensional Purgatory couldn't bear to step forward and offer comfort.

After all, everyone knew how much their Shadow Demon General valued and cared for Gu Yang. Now, the Shadow Demon had taken the initiative to come to this dangerous place to remind Gu Yang, and in the end, had sacrificed himself to save Gu Yang, which was why he was taken away by the Dipankara Buddha.

And the demons had witnessed for the first time the Shadow Demon's astonishing and terrifying supreme comprehension—even the Dipankara Buddha was made to vomit blood by a few words from Gu Yang.

The Demon race desperately needed a general with wisdom like the Prison God and a deep understanding of the Western Heavens, one who could directly become the Demon race's Little Prison God.

But now, their greatest hope had been personally extinguished by the Dipankara Buddha. The Shadow Demon had been taken away, and it was highly likely that he would never return!

As the demons were overcome with grief, the Buddhist light before Gu Yang suddenly brightened.

This was the voice Guan Yin Bodhisattva had left behind before leaving. Words that could not be spoken face to face, Guan Yin Bodhisattva spoke using the method of leaving a voice recording, but no one knew why.

Gu Yang casually touched it, and he heard Guan Yin Bodhisattva's voice in his ear,

"Great Marshal Gu Yang, please be at ease. Our Western Heavens are by no means a group that slaughters the innocent. Our Buddha is merciful and saves all living beings.

Lord Shadow Demon is also a hero, and we will never make things difficult for Lord Shadow Demon, nor will we harm his life. The Western Heavens and the Demon race get to know each other through fighting, and we should understand each other and strive to resolve conflicts and move towards peace."

Gu Yang and the group of demons were stunned for a moment upon hearing Guan Yin Bodhisattva's recorded message.

Guan Yin Bodhisattva's meaning was vastly different from what Dipankara Buddha had said earlier. Dipankara Buddha almost buried the Shadow Demon directly, so what did Guan Yin Bodhisattva mean? Backstabbing Dipankara Buddha?

"Great Marshal, could this be their trick?" a demon general asked from the side.

However, Gu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, the sadness in his eyes slowly receding, replaced by his usual wisdom, as he carefully analyzed,

"No, this doesn't sound like a deception, or rather, this is the true intention of the Western Heavens.

Although Dipankara Buddha was hysterically crazy just now, it seemed to be just a defensive outburst. With the Western Heaven's thoughts, it is impossible to be so crazy, after all, this kind of life-and-death situation is harmful and unprofitable to the Western Heavens.

Guan Yin Bodhisattva's words should not be a delaying tactic. The benefits of Shadow Demon being there as a hostage far outweigh the benefits of him being killed directly."

Gu Yang's wise analysis immediately made everyone understand.

As expected of Gu Yang, even in despair, he could maintain his composure. No one knew how much experience it took to develop such a mind.

But a demon asked:

"But how should we rescue General Shadow Demon?"

Gu Yang's eyes were deep, and he pondered for a moment,

"I don't know."

The crowd: "…"

Because Shadow Demon had already been taken to the Western Heavens, and now the Demon race's reach was too short, it was impossible to touch Shadow Demon at all.

Gu Yang did not give up, and he started his little brain, suddenly thinking of a crucial figure—Nine-Headed Insect!

"Order Nine-Headed Insect to come see me!"

With Gu Yang's order, Nine-Headed Insect was brought before Gu Yang.

In the next second, Nine-Headed Insect was seen being escorted by the demons to Gu Yang.

Gu Yang stared at Nine-Headed Insect, the boundless demonic energy and majesty causing Nine-Headed Insect to prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

"Raise your head."

Gu Yang's voice was indifferent and cold.

Nine-Headed Insect trembled in fear, but very carefully raised his head,

However, in that one glance, he saw something very wrong.

Or rather, Nine-Headed Insect saw something extremely terrifying. He suddenly realized that the general who usually stood beside Gu Yang was gone.

Nine-Headed Insect couldn't help but feel terrified, after all, Nine-Headed Insect had seen very clearly before that that general could be said to be the most core existence in the entire Demon race,

Now, for Nine-Headed Insect, not seeing that Shadow Demon, did it mean that something unreasonable had happened?

Nine-Headed Insect had always had an extremely keen sense, and his sense saved his life at this moment.

He knew that the matter was probably related to that Shadow Demon.

Nine-Headed Insect trembled, but only dared to say timidly,

"Lord Gu Yang, may I ask what instructions you have for me? As long as you have an instruction, I, Nine-Headed Insect, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Nine-Headed Insect's face was full of determination. He was very clever, and he did not ask about the Shadow Demon's matter first, preventing Gu Yang from directly attacking him,

Nine-Headed Insect came up and directly expressed his loyalty, letting Gu Yang believe that he was definitely on the side of the Demon race and could not be treated as an enemy.

However, Gu Yang did not buy it,

He heard Gu Yang sneer,

"Nine-Headed Insect ah Nine-Headed Insect, you can be considered a smart person. I'll give you a chance, think carefully again, do you have anything else to say?"

Nine-Headed Insect's heart skipped a beat. Good fellow, Gu Yang's words were accusing him.

In this way, Gu Yang had directly included himself in the ranks of those being questioned.

It could be seen that this was not a good sign.

Moreover, under such questioning, it was not good for Nine-Headed Insect to say anything. What if he said the wrong thing and further confirmed the resentment in Gu Yang's heart?

Nine-Headed Insect pondered for a moment and said directly:

"Great Marshal Gu Yang, this little demon will speak frankly. Nowadays, the Western Heavens are rampant, and they are probably coveting that relic, and may even launch a sneak attack on the Demon race.

The Western Heavens have never had any bottom line, so it is normal for them to use deception, kidnapping, and extortion, so this little demon dares to speak out, please all the demon generals must pay attention to self-protection.

Oh, right, speaking of which, where is that General Shadow Demon? Why haven't I seen him?"

Nine-Headed Insect secretly praised himself for being witty. Good fellow, he didn't expect that he was so powerful. Starting from the level of concern, he indirectly approached Shadow Demon!

Now, it was just right to guide all the topics to Shadow Demon, so that Gu Yang could easily pick up whatever he said. I was really too witty!
