#1828 - The army gathers
Chu Hao's connection with the Azure Lion and White Elephant could be traced back five hundred years. At that time, Sun Wukong had not yet started his havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and the Azure Lion and White Elephant were kept as mounts in the Lion Camel Ridge of the Western Paradise.
That's right, the Azure Lion and White Elephant were far from being as powerful as they are now, and their status was naturally low. They were just like pets, with no dignity to speak of.
It was at that time that Chu Hao took action and saved them.
The so-called saving was actually enlightening them, allowing their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds in these short five hundred years, which is why they gained the appreciation of the Western Paradise.
Therefore, after arriving at Lion Camel Ridge, Chu Hao was not worried about the schemes of the Western Paradise, because they were all his own people.
After listening, the Golden-Winged Roc Bird was stunned in place.
Was he surrounded by insiders?
It obviously couldn't believe that the Azure Lion and White Elephant, who had such a deep friendship with it, had been concealing their identities all along.
But thinking about it, the Azure Lion and White Elephant didn't have such a powerful background as it did. They were also subjects of oppression in the Western Paradise, and they might have wanted to rebel long ago.
After digesting this news, the Golden-Winged Roc Bird's original worry for the Azure Lion and White Elephant was greatly relieved.
Its face lit up with joy and said, "I didn't expect that Master had already made plans. Then I don't have to worry."
"Yes, you just need to know that as long as it's good stuff, just bring it to the Law Enforcement Hall," Chu Hao instructed a few words before leaving with the Ancient Heavenly Hawk and other subordinates.
Only Black Bear Spirit and a dozen people from the Law Enforcement Hall remained here just in case.
On the other side, in the Tathagata's residence, he awaited news from Namo Water Heaven Buddha.
"I didn't expect the Demon Clan to have infiltrated so deeply?" Tathagata was also surprised that someone among the Buddhas of Mount Ling had already entered the Demonic Path, and it was right under his nose.
This was an extremely important matter, and it could even shake the foundation of Mount Ling.
A solemn expression appeared on Tathagata's face as he looked at Namo Water Heaven Buddha and said, "The White Lotus Child is right. If this matter is known to the Buddhas, it will inevitably cause panic."
Once this kind of thing is made public, everyone will inevitably be in danger, and it may even affect the unity of Mount Ling.
After saying that, Tathagata said to Namo Water Heaven Buddha: "This matter is extremely important and must be investigated secretly."
"Buddha, how should we investigate?" Namo Water Heaven Buddha had no idea either.
Tathagata pondered for a moment and said, "You can pretend to have a gap with the Western Paradise and reveal your dissatisfaction with the Western Paradise. The traitor will naturally come to you."
Namo Water Heaven Buddha's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "I will follow Buddha's instructions."
"At that time, I will pretend to reprimand you, so you must be prepared," Tathagata said.
Just then, a Buddha suddenly requested an audience from outside.
Tathagata stopped the conversation and allowed him to enter.
"Buddha, the Jade Emperor has agreed to let Chu Hao be the leader of the Demon Subduing Army," the Buddha said with a smile.
"Did that White Lotus Child bring the decree of the Saint?" Tathagata asked in confusion.
The Buddha shook his head and said, "No, the Jade Emperor said he investigated the situation in the Avici Hell before deciding to take action."
"Oh?" Tathagata was also slightly surprised, not expecting the other party's attitude to change so quickly.
At this time, the Buddha continued: "At this moment, Taibai Jinxing of the Heavenly Court is waiting outside."
"Let him in," Tathagata said.
