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

#1840 - The Blue Lion and the White Elephant counterattack Lion Camel Ridge

The Jade Emperor's words were more of a prevarication, which the Tathagata understood, so he didn't ask further. Right now, the priority was to resolve the Journey to the West matter. As for Chu Hao's side, he would leave it for now.

With that thought, the Tathagata had no choice but to depart.

A day later, the time for Qing Shi to attack Lion Camel Ridge finally arrived.

The Tathagata specifically arranged for Namo Merit Buddha to go and supervise, after all, Guanyin and谛听 still had to keep an eye on Tang Sanzang and his disciples, to prevent them from being truly eaten by the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird.

After all, even the Tathagata himself wasn't confident he could control the current Golden Winged Great Peng Bird.

Namo Merit Buddha arrived at the mountain range where Qing Shi and Bai Xiang were located. In that vast mountain range, entire armies of demons were joined together, yet they were distinctly divided, each led by Qing Shi and Bai Xiang.

It seemed these two brothers were still at odds.

Namo Merit Buddha thought to himself, then concealed himself in the void, quietly watching the army.

He saw Qing Shi standing before the army, directly shouting loudly: "Little ones, today we will reclaim Lion Camel Ridge, do you have confidence?"

His voice was as heavy as thunder, reverberating throughout the mountain range, but only half of the demons echoed loudly, because they belonged to Qing Shi.

In contrast, the demon army on Bai Xiang's side was silent, and their expressions even appeared somewhat listless.

"What do you mean by this?" Qing Shi immediately said angrily.

"They are my subordinates, of course they listen to me," Bai Xiang immediately said coldly.

"I am the elder brother, everyone must listen to me," Qing Shi was filled with anger.

"We have already broken off our brotherhood, so I, including my subordinates, don't need to listen to you. We just need to attack together," Bai Xiang retorted.

"Are you courting death?" Qing Shi brandished the weapon in his hand, his demonic aura erupting.

"Then let's try," Bai Xiang also picked up his weapon, his expression resolute.

A great battle seemed imminent.

This scene made Namo Merit Buddha in the sky feel alarmed. Now was not the time for infighting. If these two demons fought, the plan would be completely ruined.

He immediately descended into the field: "What do you think you're doing?"

His angry voice directly shocked Qing Shi and Bai Xiang, his displeased expression and heavy Buddhist might were like mountains pressing down on them.

"Buddha, you saw it too, this guy doesn't listen to me," Qing Shi took the lead in saying.

"Buddha, I think we just need to attack Lion Camel Ridge together. Other than that, there's no need to listen to him," Bai Xiang explained.

In any case, both of them had their own reasons.

Namo Merit Buddha naturally couldn't let the two of them quarrel. If they really faced the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, they would have no chance of winning.

So Namo Merit Buddha directly said: "From now on, everything will be under Qing Shi's command, and Bai Xiang, you must not disobey."

This was considered forced intervention. Bai Xiang's face revealed dissatisfaction, but he had no choice but to accept.

After resolving this matter, Namo Merit Buddha returned to the sky again.

And after confirming the command, Qing Shi also led the army out mightily.

After all, it saw that the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird was not worried at all, and even had the leisure to drink tea and sleep, so it couldn't help but feel worried.

"What's the rush, let's wait until they come," the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird was still not in a hurry.

He got up and walked towards the depths of the cave, arriving at the room where Tang Sanzang and his disciples were imprisoned.

Although he shouted about eating them, so many days had passed, and the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird had been providing Tang Sanzang and his disciples with good food and drink.

"Great Sage, I wonder if I can ask you for a favor?"

Seeing that there was no one else around, the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird stopped acting.

"What favor?" Sun Wukong knew that this Golden Winged Great Peng Bird was Chu Hao's mount, so his tone was also very gentle.

"Please, Great Sage, help me put on a show," the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird said with a smile.

"A show? Old Pig is good at it, call me, I will definitely act it out clearly for you."

Before Sun Wukong could speak, Zhu Bajie, who had been stifled, preemptively said.

He had been staying in this place for almost a few months. Although he was served with good food and drink, he couldn't go out all the time, and he was about to get moldy.

Now, there was a chance to go out and bask in the sun, so he naturally volunteered.

Seeing this, the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird said: "That's also possible."

"What are you doing, you idiot? Old Sun alone is enough."

Sun Wukong was also tired of staying. Back in Flower Fruit Mountain, he lived very freely. Later, he was called back and it was really boring, so naturally he was unwilling to give this opportunity to Zhu Bajie.

"Brother Monkey, you've already gone out several times, let Old Pig do it, Old Pig can endure hardship anyway," Zhu Bajie retorted.

"Such a hard work must be done by me, the eldest brother, don't say anything, let Old Sun go," Sun Wukong pretended to leave.

"This benefactor, this monk can also act."

Just then, Tang Sanzang's voice leisurely sounded from the corner.

It turned out that even Tang Sanzang couldn't sit still, he also wanted to go out and see.

The Golden Winged Great Peng Bird didn't expect that Tang Sanzang and his disciples all wanted to go out, so he told the four of them his plan, and finally decided to let Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie go out to act.

After arranging these, the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird found the people from the Law Enforcement Hall again.

When Chu Hao left, he still left some people for it, and these people also listened to the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird's command.

Under the arrangement of the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, these dozen or so immortals from the Law Enforcement Hall quietly left the cave.

In the sky, Guanyin and谛听, who had been silently paying attention to the movements of Lion Camel Ridge, naturally saw this scene.

"Great Master Guanyin, what does this Great Peng Bird want to do? Instead of preparing to gather an army, he is letting the immortals from the Law Enforcement Hall go out in advance,"谛听 asked doubtfully.

Guanyin was also not very clear, she just said: "It seems that the Great Peng Bird should already have a plan, and the immortals from the Law Enforcement Hall are probably variables."

They naturally knew the Spirit Mountain's plan, and also hoped that the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird would lose.

"Didn't they say that Spirit Mountain prepared a lot of treasures this time? Even to allow that Bai Xiang to break through, they also took out the Merit Divine Water,"谛听 said.

"Yes, this tribulation has been delayed for too long, it's time to end it," Guanyin nodded.

"When will we take action?"谛听 asked.

"After Qing Shi and Bai Xiang defeat that Great Peng Bird, we will take the opportunity to sneak into the cave and then rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples," Guanyin said.

In fact, she could have done this long ago, but the Tathagata deduced that this tribulation was not yet complete, so there was this scene again.

In the end, the tribulation must involve the three demons, and there must be a great battle, and finally bring in the Western Heaven to take action.

It's just that previously, although this was the plan, the power of Qing Shi and Bai Xiang had not really disappeared, so the tribulation had not ended.
