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

#2091 - The Demon's Holy Fire

The three demon generals, Wolf Head, Unicorn, and Blue Face, were defeated by Guanyin, each sustaining injuries, with Blue Face being the most severely wounded.

"I really didn't expect that we would fail after leading over ten thousand demon soldiers to attack the city. That Guanyin is even more detestable!"

Blue Face, with a thick bandage wrapped around one arm, gnashed his teeth and said.

"This Jinping Prefecture is not simple. The lamps in their possession have the effect of protecting and suppressing, allowing even ordinary people to fight against our demon soldiers."

Wolf Head, evidently the most intelligent, analyzed the reasons for this failure.

"If we cannot take Jinping Prefecture, how will the three of us be able to hold our heads high in the Demon Clan in the future?"

Unicorn slammed the table in anger, his temperament naturally very volatile.

This failed attack on Jinping Prefecture resulted in the loss of many demon soldiers, infuriating all three of them.

"Don't worry, I have already requested reinforcements. Tomorrow, we will receive replenishment, and Red Robe and Long Arm will also arrive.

At that time, with the combined strength of our five demon generals, we should be able to cope with Guanyin. As long as we defeat Guanyin, are we still afraid of not being able to conquer Jinping Prefecture?"

Wolf Head said to Unicorn and Blue Face, signaling them not to be impatient.

"Moreover, our goal this time is not simply Jinping Prefecture, but the sacred fire of the Demon Clan."

Wolf Head continued to say to Unicorn and Blue Face, making them clear about their purpose.

At this time, Chu Hao and Sun Wukong had already infiltrated the demon camp, and they naturally heard their conversation clearly.

"The sacred fire of the Demon Clan?"

Sun Wukong did not know what the sacred fire of the Demon Clan that Wolf Head was talking about actually was.

"The sacred fire of the Demon Clan is the symbol and emblem of the Demon Clan. It is said that this sacred fire burns the evil between heaven and earth.

It can only continue to burn in places full of evil, and the burning of the sacred fire will be of great help to the Demon Clan's cultivation."

"So they have chosen Jinping Prefecture as a place to cultivate the sacred fire of the Demon Clan. Could it be that Jinping Prefecture is a gathering place of evil?"

Sun Wukong became even more puzzled after listening to Chu Hao's explanation.

The sacred fire of the Demon Clan can only continue to exist in a place of evil, and the Demon Clan has chosen Jinping Prefecture to cultivate the sacred fire, which means that Jinping Prefecture must be a gathering place of evil.

However, Jinping Prefecture, on the surface, looks like it is decorated with lanterns and colored banners, with songs and dances, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It seems that there is no evil present.

"There must be reasons we don't know about here, but I would like to see this sacred fire of the Demon Clan."

Although Chu Hao had heard of the sacred fire of the Demon Clan, he had never seen it.

According to what the demon general Wolf Head said, the sacred fire seed of the Demon Clan seemed to have been brought to this camp.

"It should be in the camp behind."

Sun Wukong guessed, since the sacred fire seed was something they valued, the guard must be extremely tight.

Chu Hao and Sun Wukong turned to the camp behind and indeed found an unusual location.

That was a huge camp, with dozens of guards at the door, which shows how tight the security was.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chu Hao said to Sun Wukong, and the two figures flashed towards the camp.

Although the guards here were tight, for Chu Hao and Sun Wukong, it was basically like they didn't exist.

The demon soldiers guarding were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Chu Hao and the others, and they didn't need to pay attention to those demon soldiers, they could transform into flying insects and enter.

Just after entering the camp, Chu Hao and Sun Wukong felt a burst of green light flickering.

"The sacred fire of this Demon Clan is actually like this."

The faint green light was the flickering sacred fire. The seed of the sacred fire was only the size of a candle flame, but it could produce an unusual pressure.

"The reason why the light of the sacred fire produces such pressure is because it can form fluctuations of spiritual energy."

Chu Hao naturally saw through the mystery at a glance. This sacred fire burns evil and then produces a violent spiritual energy.

This violent spiritual energy can be directly absorbed, which will help in cultivation.

It's just that absorbing this violent spiritual energy will also make the cultivator's personality become violent and cruel, of course, this is not a problem for the Demon Clan.

However, after seeing through the essence of this sacred fire, Chu Hao discovered an even more shocking doubt.

"The lamp of Suhe lamp oil seems to have the same effect as the sacred fire of this Demon Clan, but it lacks a little bit of violence."

Chu Hao said to Sun Wukong with great certainty.

"How is this possible?"

Although Sun Wukong believed Chu Hao's judgment, this result shocked him too much.

The lamp of Suhe lamp oil is so similar to the sacred fire of the Demon Clan. The sacred fire of the Demon Clan is to burn evil. Is the Suhe lamp oil also like this?

"We still need to unravel all of this step by step."

Although Chu Hao cannot be sure of anything at the moment, he already has some speculations in his mind.

"It seems that they will soon attack Jinping Prefecture again. That will be our chance."

The three demon generals have already requested support, and the demon reinforcements will arrive soon, and the second attack will come soon.

"Let's go back for now and wait for the Demon Clan to attack the city."

Chu Hao nodded. The purpose of their investigation of the Demon Clan was to find out the time of the Demon Clan's attack.

Chu Hao and the others returned to Ciyun Temple and explained some of the investigation to Tang Seng and others. The second attack of the Demon Clan will be in a day or two.

In the following time, Tang Seng and the others did not take any action in Ciyun Temple. Seeing them like this, Guanyin took the initiative to come.

"Tang Seng, why are you staying in Ciyun Temple?"

Guanyin questioned Tang Seng and the others. The meaning was obvious, which was to urge them to hurry on the road and continue their journey to the West.

"I and others appreciate the stability, beauty, and unity of this Jinping Prefecture. We want to stay for a few more days to record it and use it for promotion."

Tang Seng found a suitable reason.

For this reason, Guanyin could not say anything, but urged them to hurry on the road. The demon clan's affairs here have nothing to do with them.

It's just that Guanyin's urging also made Tang Seng and the others more certain that there must be some major secret in this Jinping Prefecture.

Guanyin's surface is urging the journey to the West, but in fact, she is afraid that Tang Seng and the others will stay here for a long time and find some clues, exposing the prosperous mask of Jinping Prefecture.

Consistent with the results of Chu Hao's investigation, only one day passed, and the demon army reassembled under Jinping Prefecture and began the second attack on the city.
