#1721 - Jade Emperor: Capture Chu Hao? Sure, go and capture him yourself

Chu Hao left in a carefree manner, completely disregarding the Buddhas' feelings, as if he were just taking a stroll around his own home.

The Buddhas' expressions changed slightly, and they all looked towards their leader, Buddha Tathagata.

At this moment, Tathagata also had unspeakable suffering. Feeling everyone's gaze, he pretended to be profound and said calmly, "This Chu Hao is deceiving the Buddha way too much. Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely find a way to punish him."

He said it with utmost sincerity, hoping to kill the other party in his heart.

However, everyone remained silent upon hearing this.

Because they knew that Tathagata was just saying it. If he wanted to do it, he would have done it already. He was probably just talking big.

Tathagata didn't care what the Buddhas thought. Faced with Chu Hao's threat, he would still decide to do something.

Otherwise, the Western Heaven affair set by the Saints would definitely be ruined.

So he pondered and said, "Guanyin, where is谛听 (Dìtīng)?"

Guanyin was still immersed in Chu Hao's voice when she was suddenly called upon. She immediately reacted and walked in front of Tathagata.

Beside her,谛听 (Dìtīng) looked respectful and bowed slowly.

"You two go to the Heavenly Court and tell the Jade Emperor about today's events, and let him decide," Tathagata said.

He couldn't deal with this Chu Hao, but could it be that the Jade Emperor, the co-lord of the Heavenly Court, couldn't deal with him?

"We respectfully obey the decree!" Guanyin and谛听 (Dìtīng) bowed and then left.

Watching the two leave, Tathagata put on a profound look and didn't forget to say, "A mere狱神 (Yu Shen), can't I deal with you?"

...

Soon, Guanyin and谛听 (Dìtīng) arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, just as the Jade Emperor was listening to his subordinates' work reports, so they walked straight in.

The appearance of the two surprised the Jade Emperor slightly, and then he said, "Goddess Guanyin has come, I wonder what for?"

Guanyin did not answer. She glanced around and was a little disappointed when she didn't see Chu Hao's figure.

Seeing this,谛听 (Dìtīng) on the side had no choice but to say, "Jade Emperor, do you know that Chu Hao actually broke into my Spiritual Mountain and even openly insulted the Buddhas, completely disregarding my Western Heaven?"

"Is there such a thing?" The Jade Emperor was slightly surprised, thinking that Chu Hao was too bold, and he didn't take the Saints seriously. But on second thought, Chu Hao had been like this for more than a day or two.

"That's right, Guanyin, wouldn't you say so?"谛听 (Dìtīng) asked Guanyin next to him.

The Jade Emperor was planning to take it lightly, and Guanyin and谛听 (Dìtīng) were also very helpless about this.

Then Guanyin said again, "Let's put Chu Hao's matter aside for the time being, we are here for the Little Thunderclap Temple."

"Little Thunderclap Temple? Isn't that Western territory, what's wrong?" The Jade Emperor pretended not to understand.

Then Guanyin explained, "The Little Thunderclap Temple was originally the territory of the Future Buddha, but the Future Buddha has fallen into a demon. Now, he has even taken away Tang Sanzang and others."

As soon as this was said, the expressions of the immortals present changed slightly.

The Heavenly Emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he quietly looked at the two Western visitors.

Previously, he had an agreement with the West, knowing that this was Tang Sanzang's tribulation, and their Heavenly Court needed to send gods to rescue him, and then be defeated, so that the West could clean up the mess.

Obviously, Guanyin and谛听 (Dìtīng) were here for this matter.

But the agreement was an agreement, whether to do it or not was another matter.

Especially since Chu Hao had made a scene in Spiritual Mountain not long ago, completely disregarding the Buddhas.

Now the entire Heavenly Court was on Chu Hao's side, so naturally they had to consider his thoughts.

The Jade Emperor thought about it, deliberately waited for a long time, and then nodded, "This matter is indeed important. How about this, you go find the Twenty-Eight Constellations and let them help you."

Obviously, the Jade Emperor was trying to shirk responsibility.

谛听 (Dìtīng) also heard the other party's meaning. He had resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to get angry at the co-lord of the Heavenly Court, so he had to say, "The Twenty-Eight Constellations will definitely help, right?"

"Well, since it's an agreement, we will naturally abide by it, but now the Heavenly Court also lacks manpower. You should go to the Twenty-Eight Constellations' palace and ask," the Jade Emperor did not give a definite answer.

"Okay, then we will go to the Twenty-Eight Constellations," Guanyin nodded.

The Jade Emperor's attitude made them helpless, and they could only follow his words.

The two left, and the Jade Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Just kidding, I am the dignified co-lord of the Heavenly Court, and I will act for you if I say so. Don't I need face?

Youth is good, not knowing who is the boss. How dare you people touch our狱神 (Yu Shen)?

Not long after, Guanyin and谛听 (Dìtīng) arrived at the residence of the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

As soon as they arrived, they saw 奎木狼 (Kuí Mùláng) Li Xiong about to go out.

Guanyin immediately stopped him and asked, "I wonder where阁下 (géxià) is going??"

"What?" 奎木狼 (Kuí Mùláng) Li Xiong pretended not to hear.

"I'm asking you where you're going!"谛听 (Dìtīng) said in a deep voice from the side.

"Oh, oh, I have something urgent to go out. You guys go ahead."

奎木狼 (Kuí Mùláng) Li Xiong said, immediately passed through the two, and left this place.

谛听 (Dìtīng)'s face sank.

He didn't believe that this 奎木狼 (Kuí Mùláng) Li Xiong was really deaf. He must be making excuses to shirk responsibility.

"I see if you Twenty-Eight Constellations are all deaf,"谛听 (Dìtīng) thought in his heart, and then followed Guanyin into the residence.

Inside the residence, 牛金牛 (Niú Jīnniú) Li Hong was playing chess with 亢金龙 (Kàng Jīnlóng) Li Daotong.

Seeing the two arrive, they immediately got up to greet them: "Goddess Guanyin has arrived, we are terrified."

Guanyin bowed slightly and then said, "The two of us are here for the Little Thunderclap Temple."

"Little Thunderclap Temple?" The two's expressions changed slightly.

Among them, Li Hong asked, "I wonder what Goddess Guanyin is looking for us for specifically?"

Before Guanyin could speak,谛听 (Dìtīng) immediately said, "The Heavenly Court once had an agreement with the West. Now that Tang Sanzang is suffering this tribulation, please, immortals, follow us to the Little Thunderclap Temple to eliminate the demons!"

"So that's the case, but the two of us have to guard the palace and cannot leave," Li Hong said with a helpless expression.

"Could it be that only the two of you are left in the Twenty-Eight Constellations?" Guanyin asked in confusion.

"Goddess Guanyin, you don't know, recently there are great demons causing trouble in the mortal world. We have received the Jade Emperor's decree to go and suppress them. Now only the two of us are left," Li Daotong explained.

"Is that so? Can't you all go?" Guanyin frowned slightly.

"Not really, like Li Xiong just went out, and other immortal friends have not returned yet. Why don't you two wait a while?" Li Hong said.

"Waiting is fine too," Guanyin did not refuse.

Then, after waiting for most of the day, they still didn't see anyone return.

This time,谛听 (Dìtīng) couldn't sit still. He said in a deep voice, "Anyway, no one dares to break into this Heavenly Court. It's enough to have one person guarding this palace. Let one person accompany us to the Little Thunderclap Temple first."

"That's not appropriate, the Jade Emperor has said that this palace must be guarded by two people to prevent the constellation from being in chaos," Li Daotong immediately refused.

However, these words made谛听 (Dìtīng) a little impatient.

He knew very well that both the Jade Emperor and the Twenty-Eight Constellations were shirking responsibility and didn't want to go to the Little Thunderclap Temple at all.

Thinking of Chu Hao's remarks in the Great Thunderclap Temple before,谛听 (Dìtīng), as a Seven-Turn Quasi-Sage, was a little angry: "Today, you Twenty-Eight Constellations must follow me to find that Little Thunderclap Temple, otherwise!"

Funny, I don't dare to provoke that Jade Emperor, am I afraid of you?
