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

#2119 - Heaven's reinforcements

Just as Tang Sanzang and his companions were once again luring the three demons in preparation for an attack on the western lighthouse, Guanyin arrived with Buddha and monks.

"Stop! You have already destroyed three lighthouses. Do you intend to destroy the last one as well?"

Guanyin heard from the Buddhas that Tang Sanzang and his companions had destroyed the lighthouses while fighting with the three demons, and she was naturally extremely angry.

At this moment, she naturally wanted to question Tang Sanzang and his companions.

"Bodhisattva, what do you mean by this? We didn't destroy the lighthouses."

"The three demons destroyed the lighthouses. What does it have to do with us?"

"If you say so, then we won't bother with these three demons."

Tang Sanzang and his companions naturally had words to respond with, pretending to be aggrieved as they complained to Guanyin.

"You… In any case, you must eliminate these three demons."

Guanyin couldn't blame Tang Sanzang and his companions too much.

After all, she had sought their help to eliminate the demons, and the lighthouses were indeed destroyed by the three demons, so it seemed that it really didn't have much to do with Tang Sanzang and his companions.

Even if Guanyin could guess something, what evidence did she have?

Moreover, the existence of these three demons posed a threat to the Western Paradise. If they were not eliminated, it would be even more impossible to deal with the Demon Clan.

"It's not that we don't want to eliminate the demons, but these three demons are too powerful."

"Yes, we have been fighting desperately."

"These three demons have powerful magic, and we are powerless to deal with them."

Tang Sanzang and his companions pretended to fight bitterly with the three demons while complaining to Guanyin.

Fortunately, at this time, the Demon Clan's attack stopped.

The Demon Clan had already invaded Jinping Prefecture, occupying most of the area, and the purpose of the siege had been achieved.

With the western lighthouse still standing, the Demon Clan would not gain any advantage by continuing the attack. Their own losses were also not small, and they needed to rest and reorganize.

Of course, the Western Paradise suffered even greater losses. Three or four out of ten Buddhas of the Western Paradise were injured or killed, and even Manjusri and Samantabhadra were wounded.

"As long as we eliminate the three demons, I will immediately ask the Western Paradise for reinforcements, and we can still take back Jinping Prefecture."

Guanyin had no choice but to comfort her subordinates.

Then, turning to Tang Sanzang and his companions, she said that they must get rid of these three demons as soon as possible.

"The nemesis of these three demons is the Four Constellation Lords among the Twenty-Four Constellation Lords of the Heavenly Court. You can seek help from the Heavenly Court."

Guanyin told them this information, naturally wanting them to quickly seek help and subdue the demons.

"Since the Bodhisattva knew, why didn't you say so earlier, and let us fight so bitterly?"

Sun Wukong took the opportunity to complain to Guanyin.

"This is a test for you. How could I directly say it?"

Guanyin was so angry that she was speechless.

"Since that's the case, then this old Sun will go to the Heavenly Court for help. Master, you guys deal with these three monsters for the time being."

As Sun Wukong spoke, he rode his somersault cloud and headed towards the Heavenly Court.

At the same time that Sun Wukong went to the Heavenly Court, Chu Hao also returned to the Heavenly Court, but his speed was much faster than Sun Wukong's.

Chu Hao returned to the Heavenly Court, naturally to explain the situation to the Jade Emperor.

"The Western Paradise is actually so vicious, acting like this in Jinping Prefecture?"

The Jade Emperor, after listening to Chu Hao's description of the situation in Jinping Prefecture, couldn't help but reveal his anger.

The Western Paradise used human corpses to refine lamp oil in Jinping Prefecture, and even trampled on human lives, fooling and poisoning the people, turning Jinping Prefecture into a land of sin.

Such actions had already violated the Heavenly Dao and were a great sin against the heavens.

"Very good. Such a sinful Jinping Prefecture should not exist in the Three Realms and should be directly erased.

Since the Prison God has such a good plan, then everything will be done according to this plan, and all the gods of the Heavenly Court must fully cooperate!"

Chu Hao made arrangements here, waiting for Sun Wukong to come.

Sun Wukong entered the Southern Heavenly Gate and went straight to the Hall of Universal Brightness.

"Jade Emperor, how have you been lately?"

Sun Wukong walked into the Hall of Universal Brightness and greeted the Jade Emperor.

"Wukong, what brings you to my Hall of Universal Brightness?"

The Jade Emperor actually understood in his heart, but he still had to put on a show.

"We encountered three powerful monsters in Jinping Prefecture and have come to the Heavenly Court for help. Please send someone to capture the demons with us."

Sun Wukong also knew that Chu Hao had already made arrangements here, but the necessary formalities still had to be followed.

"Good, subduing demons and eliminating monsters is a good thing. I will immediately send someone to go with you."

The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement, pretending to call for generals and send troops.

"Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva said that only the Four Constellation Lords among the Twenty-Four Constellation Lords can restrain and subdue the monsters. She asked you to send the Four Constellation Lords to go with me."

Sun Wukong said to the Jade Emperor, emphasizing that this was Guanyin's idea.

"Guanyin? Guanyin belongs to the Western Paradise. How much can she know about my Heavenly Court? How can we send whoever she says to send?

The Four Constellation Lords still have important duties to attend to. I will send other people to go with you. All the gods of my Heavenly Court are capable of standing alone.

Since those three monsters can freeze, breathe fire, and create wind, then I will send Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, along with the Star Lord of Water Virtue, the Star Lord of Fire Virtue, and the Wind Hag to go with you."

The Jade Emperor said to Sun Wukong, and summoned Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

As soon as Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately felt delighted in his heart. The Jade Emperor's arrangement was clearly intended to anger Guanyin to death.

"Understood!"

Li Jing immediately summoned the Star Lord of Water Virtue, the Star Lord of Fire Virtue, and the Wind Hag, and also mobilized ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals.

"Very well."

Sun Wukong naturally pretended to be confused, anyway, he was just waiting to watch the show.

Sun Wukong led Li Jing and his three subordinate generals, as well as the heavenly soldiers, to the sky above Jinping Prefecture in the lower realm.

"Bodhisattva, I have brought the reinforcements."

Sun Wukong shouted to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"These are the reinforcements you brought? Didn't I ask you to bring the Four Constellation Lords? Why are they the ones who came?"

Seeing the Star Lord of Water Virtue, the Star Lord of Fire Virtue, and the Wind Hag, Guanyin's nose was almost crooked with anger.

How could they subdue those three demons by sending them here? Wouldn't this just add to the chaos?

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, this is the Jade Emperor's decree. We are only acting on orders. We will naturally do our best to subdue the demons."

Li Jing replied to Guanyin unceremoniously.

"How can those monsters' fire skills compare to my Star Lord of Fire Virtue?"

"In my Star Lord of Water Virtue's eyes, mere freezing spells are just petty tricks."

"When it comes to creating wind, I, the Wind Hag, am the best in the Three Realms."

The Star Lord of Water Virtue, the Star Lord of Fire Virtue, and the Wind Hag also said to Guanyin very proudly.

"This… then you can try."

Guanyin didn't know what to do anymore. Since the Jade Emperor had sent them here, she could only let them try.

"Great Sage, you and your master can just fight with the monsters, and we will naturally look for opportunities to help."

Li Jing said to Sun Wukong.

"In that case, let's begin."

Sun Wukong joined Tang Sanzang and his companions, and once again formed a confrontation with the three demons.
