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

#2155 - Or suffer the consequences of one's own actions?

The Western Heavens were defeated and fled, and the Demon Clan gained victory, intending to seize the Jinping Prefecture area in one fell swoop. However, at this moment, Chu Hao returned to Jinping Prefecture with his heavenly soldiers and generals.

After the battle with the Western Heavens, the Demon Clan had already suffered nearly half their losses. At this time, even if they were unwilling, they dared not confront Chu Hao and the Heavenly Army.

Maitreya Buddha could only order the Demon Clan army to retreat to their original camp to rest and reorganize, and not to have any conflict with Chu Hao.

In this confrontation between the Western Heavens and the Demon Clan, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Demon Clan lost nearly half of their forces, and the Western Heavens suffered even greater losses.

Of the ten thousand Buddhas under the command of Dipankara Ancient Buddha, only less than four thousand followed them back to the Western Heavens. Fortunately, Guanyin and other elite forces did not suffer any losses.

"We should have had a great victory, but now we are extremely frustrated."

Dipankara Ancient Buddha and Guanyin were naturally very aggrieved and also harbored some resentment towards Tathagata in their hearts.

Returning to the Western Heavens, they arrived at the Great Hall of Thunderclap Monastery to meet Tathagata Buddha.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing their words, Tathagata Buddha was so angry that he jumped up from his throne and flew into a rage.

"You still have the nerve to say that!"

Seeing Tathagata Buddha like this, Guanyin and the others were all frightened and trembled.

"What do you mean by this, Buddha?"

Guanyin asked somewhat tremulously.

"Did you release the demons in the Eye of the Sea?"

Tathagata Buddha sternly rebuked Guanyin.

"Yes, releasing the demons in the Eye of the Sea was to deal with Chu Hao."

Guanyin explained to Tathagata Buddha. She had explained this matter to Tathagata before, and she didn't know why Tathagata would be like this.

"Deal with Chu Hao? Take a look now, where are those demons? They have all been driven by Chu Hao and the Heavenly Army to our Western Heavens."

"Currently, the areas under our Western Heavens' jurisdiction are all suffering from attacks by demons. I have sent all available manpower to subdue the demons, but it has not been effective, and the situation is already somewhat out of control."

Tathagata explained the current situation to Dipankara Ancient Buddha and Guanyin.

Those demons in the Eye of the Sea are all very powerful. Although Tathagata sent many Buddhas to deal with them, it did not have much effect.

Instead, many Buddhas were killed and eaten by the demons, and the demons are still wreaking havoc everywhere, and the situation in the Western Heavens is already chaotic.

Guanyin and the others released the demons from the Eye of the Sea, and in the end, the Western Heavens suffered the consequences themselves. This is why Tathagata was furious.

"This… how could these demons have come to our Western Heavens?"

Guanyin was also a little dumbfounded. She had originally thought she had succeeded in her plan.

But now it seemed that Chu Hao not only did not fall for the trick but instead used it against them.

"Regardless of how Chu Hao brought these demons to the areas under our jurisdiction, these are no longer important."

"What is important is to immediately subdue the demons, otherwise the areas under our Western Heavens' jurisdiction will be in complete chaos, and the foundation of our Western Heavens will be severely damaged."

Tathagata Buddha continued to say to Guanyin and the others that subduing the demons was their top priority at the moment.

"We will immediately rush to the surrounding areas and lead the Buddhas to launch an operation to clear the demons. Buddha can sit in the Western Heavens."

"As long as Buddha is in the Western Heavens, those demons will not dare to wreak havoc near Mount Meru, and will not directly threaten us."

Dipankara Ancient Buddha said to Tathagata Buddha. This arrangement was naturally the most reasonable.

"That's the only way. Be sure to eliminate the demons!"

Only then did Tathagata's expression ease, and he sat back down.

Dipankara Ancient Buddha and Guanyin, these big shots of the Western Heavens, immediately began to rush to various parts of the Western Heavens, leading their Buddhas to launch an operation to clear the demons.

However, after all, there were tens of thousands of demons, and they were spread across most of the Xiniu Hezhou. Such a vast area, let alone these Western Heaven experts and big shots combined, even if there were ten times more of them, they would not be able to handle it.

The time required to clear tens of thousands of demons would naturally not be short.

These demons were not a group of reckless beasts who only knew how to act blindly, but a group of cunning and insidious villains.

Since coming to Xiniu Hezhou, they would fire a shot and change locations.

Although the Western Heavens could be on par with the Heavenly Court in terms of power, they were not as rich in manpower as the Heavenly Court.

When Chu Hao subdued demons in the North Sea, he could mobilize gods from all directions, loose immortal earthlings, adding up to hundreds of thousands.

That was because the Heavenly Court was the official organization of the Three Realms, controlling the gods and immortals of the heavens and the earth. When Chu Hao spoke in the name of the Prison God, those people had to obey orders.

But the Western Heavens were different. The Western Heavens were just a Buddhist organization and had no command over those gods and earth immortals.

They could only rely on the Buddhas, disciples, and monks under their command. Among these Buddhas, disciples, and monks, there were not many people who had the strength to subdue demons.

At this time, Chu Hao was naturally paying attention to the situation in the Western Heavens and briefly explained the situation to Tang Sanzang and the others.

"Immortal Chu Hao is truly brilliant. This time, the Western Heavens will have enough to drink."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but give Chu Hao a thumbs up.

"Brother, the Western Heavens are suffering the consequences of their own actions. This move of yours is enough to drive Tathagata crazy."

Sun Wukong seemed even more admired by Chu Hao.

"Boss, although those demons have been driven to the land of the Western Heavens, with the power of Tathagata Buddha and the Western Heavens, they will be able to clean them up."

Zhu Bajie asked Chu Hao. Relying solely on those demons would only give the Western Heavens a headache for a while, but it would not cause any fundamental harm to them.

"That's right. Relying on those demons alone is indeed not enough, so we have the next step in our plan."

Chu Hao nodded to Zhu Bajie and also said his next arrangement.

After hearing Chu Hao's next arrangement, Tang Sanzang and the others were all overjoyed.

"Boss is brilliant. This time, the Western Heavens will probably suffer a big loss."

Zhu Bajie laughed loudly, admiring Chu Hao's ingenious layout.

Chu Hao turned around and said to the divine general under his command.

"Go to the Demon Clan's camp and tell Maitreya Buddha that I want to talk to him."

The divine general obeyed the order and immediately went to the Demon Clan's camp.

At this time, in the Demon Clan's camp, Maitreya Buddha and the big shots of the Demon Clan were also discussing the current situation.

"Although the Western Heavens have been defeated at this time, Chu Hao is even more difficult to deal with than the Western Heavens. This person is meticulous in his thoughts, strong in strength, and also controls the power of the Heavenly Court."

"So, I mean, we must not antagonize Chu Hao, otherwise, it will bring great trouble to our Demon Clan."

Maitreya Buddha said his thoughts to the big shots of the Demon Clan.

"But even though we have won, we are still unable to occupy Jinping Prefecture. This victory seems meaningless."

"Our Demon Clan has paid so much, and it is not justified if there is no reward."

"That is, we can't explain it to our subordinates!"
