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

#2344 - The West Returns

Within Diling County, Tang Sanzang and his disciples were assisting the old County Magistrate with a plan.

"County Magistrate, if you want to protect Diling County, you must arrange things in this way. We have already sent a message to Immortal Lord Chu Hao.

Immortal Lord Chu Hao wants us to lure out the Western Heavens, to make the people of the Western Heavens expose their crimes, so that he can take the opportunity to capture them," Tang Sanzang said to the old County Magistrate.

"I will leave everything to Tang Sanzang and his disciples. I will issue an order that everyone in Diling County will listen to your commands."

The old County Magistrate nodded in agreement. If Diling County was not freed from the control of the Western Heavens, trouble would likely continue to arise.

"Wukong, how is your preparation going?" Tang Sanzang asked Sun Wukong and the others.

"We have already divided the people of Diling County into four teams. If the Western Heavens' forces come again, our master and disciples will each lead a team.

Then we will take turns fighting the Western Heavens. The people of Diling County have the advantage of infinite resurrection, and we can exhaust the Western Heavens' forces to the point of being half-dead."

Sun Wukong replied to Tang Sanzang.

"Moreover, as long as we can hold back the Western Heavens' forces, Boss will take action immediately. We don't need to hold them back for too long," Zhu Bajie also said to Tang Sanzang.

Just as they were discussing, Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra, along with tens of thousands of Buddhas, were approaching Diling County.

"This time, our mission is to conquer Diling County, capture Tang Sanzang and his disciples, and bring them back to Mount Ling to forcibly brainwash them.

We have tens of thousands of troops. How can a rabble of unruly people from Diling County be a match for us? They can only kneel and submit."

In Guanyin's view, the hundred thousand people of Diling County, even with the ability of infinite resurrection, were nothing more than a group of蝼蚁 mortals.

With tens of thousands of Buddhas arriving, they could easily flatten Diling County, and those people would surely be frightened out of their wits and beg for mercy on their knees.

As for Tang Sanzang and his disciples, they were still trapped in Diling County, like turtles in a jar. Capturing them was an easy task.

"This matter is a reward delivered right into our hands."

"If we complete the mission, the Buddha will surely reward us handsomely."

Manjushri and Samantabhadra agreed with Guanyin's thoughts, so the three of them looked confident.

After a while, Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra led tens of thousands of Buddhas into Diling County.

This time, they entered Diling County without encountering any resistance. Even when they arrived in Diling County City, they didn't see a single person.

"Those unruly people must have been frightened away by seeing our large number of troops."

"They are probably scattered and hiding at this moment. That's fine, let's capture Tang Sanzang and his disciples first."

"After capturing Tang Sanzang and his disciples, we will then deal with this group of unruly people and make them kneel and worship us for seven days and seven nights," Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra discussed.

However, they sent people to search the city of Diling County, but they didn't find any trace of Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

"Tang Sanzang, I know you are here. Don't hide, you can't escape from the hands of our Western Heavens.

Just come out obediently. As long as you listen to the arrangements of our Western Heavens, the Buddha will surely not mistreat you," Guanyin said to Tang Sanzang, using the art of telepathy.

She knew that Tang Sanzang could definitely hear her words in Diling County.

Just as Guanyin finished speaking, Tang Sanzang's voice came from the city gate.

"Guanyin, I am here. Don't you want to capture me? I'll give you a chance."

Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra heard Tang Sanzang's voice and immediately flew towards the city gate.

They saw Tang Sanzang alone, riding the White Dragon Horse, laughing at Guanyin and the others as if provoking them.

"Tang Sanzang, you are so bold, daring to be so arrogant."

The White Dragon Horse understood and immediately galloped away, running towards the rear.

"Tang Sanzang, don't run!"

How could Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra let Tang Sanzang escape? They immediately used their magic and chased after him with all their might.

However, what they didn't know was that Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng had been observing in secret.

"Do you think Master can lure them in?"

"This place is not far from the Huaguang Temple, and Master also has the White Dragon Horse to help him."

"As long as we lure Guanyin and the others into the Huaguang Temple, half of our plan will succeed."

Just as they were talking, Tang Sanzang, riding the White Dragon Horse, had already arrived at the entrance of the Huaguang Temple.

At this time, Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra were about to catch up.

"Guanyin, come and catch me!" Tang Sanzang turned around and smiled, provoking Guanyin and the others, and at the same time drove the horse into the Huaguang Temple.

Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra were so provoked by Tang Sanzang that they were all furious.

"We must capture Tang Sanzang."

In their anger, the three of them didn't think much and chased directly into the Huaguang Temple.

At the same time they entered, Tang Sanzang drove the White Dragon Horse and jumped out of the broken courtyard wall on the other side of the Huaguang Temple.

"Guanyin, you've been fooled!" Tang Sanzang laughed loudly.

Hearing Tang Sanzang say this, Guanyin and the others realized that the situation was not good.

The three of them hurriedly tried to leave the Huaguang Temple, but they found that a layer of energy barrier had appeared around the Huaguang Temple.

"Not good, there is a formation here."

"Tang Sanzang deliberately lured us here, using a formation to trap us here."

"We were careless and fell for Tang Sanzang's trick!"

Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra immediately used their magic, trying to break the energy barrier and destroy the formation.

However, the combined offensive of the three of them, when it landed on the energy barrier, didn't even cause a ripple.

"What a powerful formation."

"This formation was probably set up by Chu Hao."

"We can't break the formation set up by Chu Hao with the power of the three of us."

Guanyin and Manjushri and Samantabhadra shook their heads helplessly.

This formation was indeed set up by Chu Hao. Chu Hao set up the formation firstly to allow Tang Sanzang and his disciples to hide in the Huaguang Temple.

Secondly, it was to leave Tang Sanzang and the others with a bargaining chip to deal with the strong, everything was in Chu Hao's plan.

"Guanyin, the three of you should repent well in the Huaguang Temple. Our master and disciples are going to deal with your Buddha army," Tang Sanzang rode the White Dragon Horse and headed towards Diling County City.
