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

#2342 - Xitian becomes public enemy

Tang Sanzang and his disciples had already proven their innocence and were now helping the old magistrate and the people of Diling County, which earned their trust.

"Venerable Tang, what do you think this official and the people should do to deal with the venomous Western Paradise should they attack again?"

The old magistrate asked Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

"Your Honor, the best course of action now is to find a backer who can contend with the Western Paradise. Otherwise, how can the strength of mortals compare to that of the Western Paradise?"

Tang Sanzang said to the old magistrate.

"Indeed, the only ones who can contend with the Western Paradise are the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court. The Demon Clan has just suffered heavy losses, and their strength is probably diminished.

That leaves only the Heavenly Court capable of protecting the safety of Diling County and resisting the Western Paradise's next attack."

Sun Wukong also said to the old magistrate, as this was indeed the only option.

"My boss, Chu Hao, is the Three Realms Prison God of the Heavenly Court, and he has the desire to protect Diling County. Only he can protect Diling County."

Pigsy also said to the old magistrate.

"In that case, we will follow the arrangements of the Prison God. Please, Venerable Tang and your disciples, help us contact the Prison God."

The old magistrate nodded. He had met Chu Hao before.

Compared to the Western Paradise, Chu Hao's attitude was undoubtedly very friendly. Even if the old magistrate was a bit senile, he knew how to choose.

In fact, Chu Hao had clearly seen everything that happened in Diling County. It was he who controlled the ten thousand divine souls of Diling County, allowing the people of Diling County to be resurrected infinitely.

Thus, he drove away the Tathagata Buddha and the people of the Western Paradise. All of this was due to Chu Hao's efforts.

"Next, I will make sure the Western Paradise is preoccupied and has no chance to fully deal with Diling County."

All of this was within Chu Hao's plan, including the Western Paradise's setback in Diling County.

"Ksitigarbha, Three Demon Venerables, follow my instructions."

"Make sure all the forces know that everything was done by the Western Paradise."

"I will make the Western Paradise the enemy of the Three Realms."

Chu Hao said, contemplating and making arrangements.

"As you command!"

Ksitigarbha and the others received their orders and immediately acted separately according to Chu Hao's arrangements.

Previously, many forces from the Three Realms gathered in Diling County and engaged in a great battle with Ksitigarbha's army. This matter had already spread throughout the Three Realms.

In the end, the elites of the major forces of the Three Realms and Ksitigarbha's army all disappeared without a trace, which shocked the entire Three Realms even more.

In fact, in the eyes of the major forces of the Three Realms, this incident was definitely the work of the Western Paradise.

Within the Demon Clan, various demons gathered and were holding a meeting to discuss.

"Our three Demon Ancestors and the Demon Ancestor's elites must have been harmed by the Western Paradise."

"The Western Paradise has humiliated our Demon Ancestor in such a way. This hatred cannot go unavenged!"

"Avenge the Three Venerables, avenge the elites of our Demon Ancestor!"

The demons were all indignant and wanted to avenge themselves against the Western Paradise.

Within the Demon Clan, Chu Jin, who had been injured, had recovered a lot and was gathering the remaining Demon Clan elites to discuss.

Maitreya Buddha was fortunate enough to avoid being controlled by the Soul-Seizing Formation because he was injured and did not participate in the battle with Ksitigarbha's army.

However, five or six tenths of the Demon Clan's elites were taken away in that Soul-Seizing Formation, and only four of the Ten Demon Kings remained.

"This time, our Demon Clan suffered heavy losses. It must be a conspiracy by the Western Paradise."

"Yes, we must not let it go like this. We should show the Western Paradise a thing or two."

"Although the strength of our Demon Clan has been damaged, we can unite with other forces to deal with the Western Paradise together."

Maitreya Buddha and the Four Demon Kings suggested to Chu Jin.

In fact, Chu Jin was also very angry about the loss in Diling County.

"Immediately gather my Demon Clan army. You will contact the major forces separately. If we can form an alliance, we will directly attack the Western Paradise's Vulture Peak and make the Tathagata Buddha pay the price."

Chu Jin nodded and said, making a decision.

Not only the Demon Clan and the Monster Clan, but also those small and medium-sized forces had the same attitude.

Just when the forces in the Three Realms were all targeting the Western Paradise, Ksitigarbha and the Three Great Demon Venerables appeared according to Chu Hao's arrangements.

However, they did not appear in the Prison God Hall, but near the Western Paradise's Vulture Peak.

Guanyin and the others said to the Tathagata Buddha.

"Well, I will go there myself. You will accompany me. It is best to capture these four people together, so we can interrogate them clearly."

Ksitigarbha and the Three Great Demon Venerables are all top-ranked experts in the Three Realms. If the Tathagata Buddha does not take action himself, no one in the Western Paradise can deal with these four people.

After making a decision, the Tathagata Buddha led the people of the Western Paradise and immediately went to capture Ksitigarbha and the Three Great Demon Venerables.

Ksitigarbha and the Three Great Demon Venerables were not surprised by the arrival of the Tathagata Buddha and the people of the Western Paradise.

In fact, they were here deliberately to lure the Tathagata Buddha to come.

"Ksitigarbha, what's wrong with you?"

"Why don't you pay homage to the Buddha when you see him?"

"Are you going to rebel against the Western Paradise?"

Guanyin and the others shouted at Ksitigarbha.

But the current Ksitigarbha is no longer the Ksitigarbha of the past. He is now the Protector of the Prison God Hall.

"What is the Tathagata Buddha? This protector doesn't recognize any Tathagata Buddha."

Ksitigarbha replied proudly.

This answer made it clear to the Tathagata Buddha and the people of the Western Paradise that Ksitigarbha had completely betrayed the Western Paradise.

"Ksitigarbha, what exactly happened to you? Where exactly are the ten thousand divine souls of Diling County now?"

The Tathagata Buddha asked Ksitigarbha sternly.

"Why should I tell you this?"

Ksitigarbha did not answer the Tathagata Buddha's question.

"Since you have chosen to associate with demons, don't blame me for being impolite."

The Tathagata Buddha knew that Ksitigarbha could no longer be persuaded and could only attack Ksitigarbha.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Ksitigarbha and the Three Demon Venerables were already prepared, and the four of them jointly faced the Tathagata Buddha.

Ksitigarbha and the Three Demon Venerables were all Quasi-Sage peak cultivators. The combined strength of the four of them was difficult for even the Tathagata Buddha to easily defeat.

"Amitabha."

The Tathagata Buddha recited a Buddha's name and stretched out a single palm at the same time.

The power of the Tathagata Buddha's palm was like a mountain and a sea, with endless pressure, pressing down on Ksitigarbha and the Three Demon Venerables like a dark cloud.

"Break!"

Ksitigarbha and the Three Demon Venerables attacked at the same time, and the four of them formed a combined force to meet that palm.

The attacks of both sides intersected and collided. The Tathagata Buddha's palm collapsed, and the offensive of Ksitigarbha and the Three Demon Venerables also dissipated instantly.

The combined strength of the four of them could barely compete with the Tathagata Buddha.
