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

#1330 - The elixir is here! Are the demons welcoming me?

The saying goes, 'A military defeat is like a mountain collapsing.' The Buddhas, who initially had a firm resolve to stop these demons, ultimately chose to let them go after a period of intense psychological struggle.

It wasn't so much that they were afraid the demons would kill them, but more about showing compassion.

When Guyang led the demons to their first victory against so many pursuing Buddhas, even they were surprised.

It was a true case of 'When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens before you!'

Just moments ago, they were worried that being caught by the Buddhas meant certain death, filled with dread.

"Let's go!"

However, just as Guyang was about to lift his foot to leave, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

What if he left now, and the Buddhas turned back to hunt down the Shadow Demon?

The thought stopped Guyang, who had been about to flee, in his tracks.

No, the Shadow Demon brother bears the great responsibility of reviving the demon race, and he can only operate within these Three Realms, making the danger a hundred times greater than his own.

He could escape by jumping into the Abyss Gate, but how could the Shadow Demon avoid the Buddhas' pursuit within the Three Realms!

Thinking of this, Guyang's conscience began to ache.

He had already let the Shadow Demon brother down once. If he couldn't shield him from the storm this time, what face would he have to live in this world as a Grand Marshal?!

With that thought, Guyang turned and said in a solemn voice to the demons:

"I originally intended to flee back to the Abyss Gate to save myself, but it suddenly occurred to me that the Shadow Demon brother is currently bearing the great responsibility of reviving the demon race. He can only be in the Three Realms, with no way to escape."

"Therefore, if we leave like this, the Shadow Demon brother will likely face endless difficulties, and even the emergence of the Demon Lord will be affected."

"We cannot let our comrade down! I have decided that we must buy him time. Do you agree?"

This time, Guyang didn't command the demon army in an authoritative manner, but rather sought their opinions.

Guyang thought that the demons' survival instincts would make them retreat.

However, as soon as Guyang finished speaking, he suddenly saw all the demons raising their arms and shouting, their expressions excited and firm.

"We agree!"

"We agree!"

At that moment, even Guyang was stunned.

Guyang looked at everyone with emotion, his face filled with excitement.

"You… you haven't disappointed me!"

"'The wind howls, the Yi River runs cold.' Now that the Shadow Demon brother is in danger, your awareness is truly righteous!"

"Without further ado, I, Guyang, will live and die with you all today! Charge!"

The demon army excitedly raised their arms and shouted.

"Charge!!!"

Immediately, under Guyang's leadership, the demon army not only did not flee, but even arrogantly charged in the opposite direction,

Towards the Western Heaven's base camp,

The Western Heaven's Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!

Guyang knew that although the Buddhas were timid, cowardly, and selfish, they were also very clever.

If he simply stayed in place, they would probably immediately guess his intentions.

So Guyang used a trick within a trick, directly flying towards the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, using attack as defense, and advance as retreat!

This was the strategy of 'Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao,' and 'Secretly Crossing the Chencang Pass!'

The demon army quickly arrived at the Western Heaven's Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Since most of the Buddhas had already left, it was undefended.

However, with the demon race's current strength, it would still be difficult to go in and cause a big disturbance. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse; who knows how many strong individuals were hidden inside.

Guyang couldn't help but frown. Could they only do some meaningless destruction?

That wouldn't do. The demon race wouldn't stoop to the level of plowing fields for others.

If only there was an opportunity to create a big problem for the Western Heaven.

However, such opportunities are always rare and hard to come by. Guyang also felt that he probably wouldn't be so lucky…

However, many times, things are just that coincidental.

At that moment, Guyang suddenly saw a Buddha figure rapidly flying outside the Western Heaven's Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

The Buddha seemed to be rushing with all his might, so he didn't notice the demon army at first.

The Buddha shouted from afar:

"My Buddha, the elixir is here!"

This shout made Guyang, who was originally very disappointed and helpless, light up his eyes!

The opportunity has come!

Immediately, Guyang waved his hand and ordered:

"Capture him!"

The Holy Light Demon in the team rushed over in the first instant and grabbed the Buddha.

Although the Buddha was powerful and had the cultivation of a Half-Step Quasi-Sage, he couldn't turn the tables in front of the powerful Holy Light Demon.

In just a few moves, the Buddha was brought before Guyang.

Guyang's intuition was very keen. Even after capturing this Buddha, Guyang didn't order the destruction of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

He felt that this thing was definitely an important figure.

Guyang stared coldly at the Buddha.

"What is the elixir you were shouting about just now?"

This Buddha was under the command of Dipankara Ancient Buddha, an extremely powerful existence, and a Buddha who was extremely loyal to the Western Heaven and Dipankara Ancient Buddha.

At this moment, being questioned by Guyang, the Buddha straightened his neck and said arrogantly:

"You evil demon, I am a dignified Buddha of the Western Heaven, appointed in a time of defeat, and ordered in a time of crisis. What I bear is the important task of the Western Heaven's revival. How can I reveal secrets to you?!"

"Even if you kill me today, you will never know the secrets of my Western Heaven!"

This Buddha was indeed tough. He was truly tough, after all, he was under the command of Dipankara Ancient Buddha, acting upright and sitting correctly, and he was very loyal to the Western Heaven.

However, Guyang sneered. The clever Guyang had basically guessed the truth even without any torture!

Guyang stared at the Buddha indifferently, his voice calm and mocking.

"Even if you don't say it, I know."

"Now that Tang Sanzang has been killed by the Great Sun Tathagata with a single punch, the Western Heaven is anxious to restore Tang Sanzang's physical body, and the elixir to restore Tang Sanzang's physical body can only be the Great Reviving Pill refined by the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu within the Three Realms and Six Paths."

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid you just asked for the elixir from the Heavenly Court, right?"

As soon as Guyang finished speaking, he saw the Buddha's face turn pale, unable to suppress his panic!
