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

#2235 - First Ash Demon Emperor

The strength of the Demon Emperor, Chu Jin, to defeat dozens of powerful demons, including Maitreya, was undoubtedly unquestionable.

As for his wisdom, it was evident from the moment he appeared.

He didn't rush to reveal his identity upon arriving in the Demon Realm because he knew the Demon Race's ways. Even as a member of the Nine Nether Demon Clan, he wouldn't gain their trust without demonstrating his power.

Therefore, he directly provoked them, displaying his strength before all the Demon Race experts, and only then revealed his identity. This saved him a lot of trouble and directly secured his position as the Demon Emperor.

Another point was that Chu Jin saw the impending division within the Demon Race. He used the deterrence of force to restore the confidence of the Demon Race and re-establish cohesion through his arrival.

From these two points alone, Chu Jin's strength and wisdom were extraordinary.

"Please, Demon Emperor, take your seat!"

Maitreya and the group of Demon Race experts ushered Chu Jin to the seat of honor, while they took their places on either side.

"What is the current situation of the Demon Race?"

Chu Jin had just entered the world and was unfamiliar with the Demon Race's situation, so he asked.

"Demon Emperor, our Demon Race's situation is not good. In the several battles against Xitian, we have consistently suffered more defeats than victories. Our personnel losses are severe, and our strongholds have been lost one after another. Now, we can only hide and recuperate."

"The Tathagata Buddha of Xitian is highly skilled, and none of us in the Demon Race can match him. We have lost many powerful demons at the hands of Tathagata Buddha alone, severely damaging our Demon Race's vitality."

Maitreya and the Poison Dragon Demon King reported the situation to Chu Jin.

"Our Demon Race's style has always been to avenge every grievance. Without that, we cannot deter the Three Realms. Cautious development is not the style of our Demon Race.

As for Tathagata Buddha, I look forward to a battle with him. Now that I have entered the world, I will not allow Tathagata Buddha to continue to hold the title of the strongest in the Three Realms."

As Chu Jin spoke, his eyes revealed a fighting spirit, as if he couldn't wait to have a great battle with Tathagata Buddha.

Hearing Chu Jin's words, Maitreya, the Poison Dragon Demon King, and the many experts of the Demon Race were all filled with excitement.

"Trample Lingshan and kill Tathagata Buddha!"

The demons shouted slogans one after another, and everyone's fighting spirit was reignited.

"Although a battle with Xitian is inevitable, we cannot act rashly. We must have a comprehensive plan.

Moreover, the news of my arrival will soon be known by both Xitian and the Heavenly Court, and they will both be very wary.

Once the two sides join forces to deal with our Demon Race, our situation will become very passive."

Although Chu Jin greatly appreciated the rekindled fighting spirit of the Demon Race, he would not directly lead them to attack Xitian.

"Even with me here, the Demon Sect and the Demon Race have suffered considerable losses and may not necessarily be able to achieve a stable victory against Xitian.

Therefore, we still need to think of a perfect plan, preferably one that can catch them off guard, so that we can maximize our chances of winning."

After Chu Jin finished speaking, he looked at Maitreya and the Demon Race.
