Chapter 2620 - 2618: Demons Gather at Mount Laojun

Chapter 2620: Chapter 2618: Demons Gather at Mount Laojun

The Vajra Buddha Hand Seal possessed boundless power, and when it pressed down, even the void emitted explosive sounds like firecrackers.

The blood shadow of the Black Robe Daoist was devoured, and Chi You’s Blade was seized. In a panic, he could only manifest a blood handprint and slap it against the Vajra handprint.

The two handprints collided in mid-air with a thunderous explosion, like a thunderbolt erupting inside the grand hall.

Even though the grand hall had been constructed with a Buddhist Sect’s Vajra shield to seal it.

The doors and windows were still shattered, and a hurricane-like wind surged, hurling the Black Robe Daoist outward.

The right arm of the Black Robe Daoist was crippled, and his physical body suffered severe injuries.

These injuries were temporarily irreversible, akin to an ordinary person’s wounds.

No matter how much Essential Qi he used to heal them, his right arm could not be restored.

The Black Robe Daoist didn’t expect this Great Monk to be so formidable, and he cursed inwardly, "Stinking monk, just you wait and see!"

He transformed entirely into Blood Qi and fled into the void.

When Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Little White Dragon returned and discovered the battle here, they hurriedly went into the grand hall to take a look.

Little White Dragon anxiously asked, "Emperor, are you okay?"

Long Fei shook his head and told them, "The thief has escaped. He won’t dare to come here to cause trouble for a while."

The three nodded, curiously asking him, "What is the origin of these people? We chased after them earlier, and one of the thieves actually knows the Buddhist Sect’s Reincarnation technique."

Long Fei said, "That thief became a Daoist at Kunlun Mountains and later betrayed his sect and wandered to this place."

"Kunlun Mountains?"

The three were astonished.

Zhu Bajie’s big ears perked up, and he complained loudly, "Grandfather, I thought the thief was that formidable. Turns out he’s a disciple of the Kunlun Mountains. If I get the chance, I must settle the score with those bull-nosed old Daoists."

Sha Seng glanced at him and suggested, "Second senior brother, you can’t be so impulsive when things happen. Fortunately, the Emperor is here to hold the fort. If it were our master, he might have already been eaten by demons."

"We’ve fallen for the demon’s strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

Little White was also a bit scared.

Zhu Bajie yawned indifferently and said, "What do you two understand? Actually, your senior brother had long seen through the demon’s tricks. If it were our master, I wouldn’t have chased after them!"

"Second senior brother!"

Sha Seng and Little White Dragon were speechless at his words.

Zhu Bajie continued boasting, "You all don’t believe me? I’ve heard that there are thousands upon thousands of demons gathered outside the city this time. But now, inside the city, how many demons have we seen? This is thanks to the fame of Marshal Tianpeng! Were it not for me, the demons would have already turned Great Xiangguo Temple upside down."

Long Fei did not argue with him, only ordered them to continue luring the enemies into the open.

The three withdrew and resumed guarding outside.

In the mountain forests outside the city, someone brought a Cow Demon King over to the Black Robe Daoist.

The Blood Qi on the Black Robe Daoist’s body transformed into a blood shadow, which suddenly enveloped the Cow Demon King and devoured him completely in a short while.

The Blood Qi on his body gradually calmed down, and his right arm emitted a series of clicking sounds, soon fully healed.

The two beside him were baffled, saying, "Brother Zhu, wasn’t that monk a literary monk? How is he so formidable?"

A monster with bat wings on its back also curiously asked, "Yes, master. People always say that Tang Sanzang is like a melon seed in the palm, to be squeezed at will."

The Black Robe Daoist glared at him and cursed, "What do you know? Since that monk has achieved Buddhahood, he naturally possesses great skills. I underestimated him. I shouldn’t have exposed myself so early."

The three were Zhu Yuchen and his companions.

After being defeated by Little Kylin and others at Dragon Head Mountain, they moved south to enter Yangzhou.

Upon hearing about Tang Sanzang, they decided to stay here, planning to eat Monk Tang’s flesh.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t eat Tang Sanzang’s flesh and almost lost their lives instead.

Zhang Hengyu pondered beside them, saying, "It seems we need to change our approach."

Zhu Yuchen looked at him and asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you suggest?"

Zhang Hengyu told him, "Brother Zhu, you might not know, but around Yangzhou City, all the Demon Clan members are eyeing this place. Moreover, on Mount Laojun outside Yangzhou City, tens of thousands of Demon Clan members have gathered. Led by the disciples of Kunpeng Ancestor of the Nether Sea, they’ve occupied the mountain for days. If we inform them of Tang Sanzang’s whereabouts, let them cause chaos at Great Xiangguo Temple, we can benefit from the chaos."

"Tens of thousands of Demon Clan?"

Zhu Yuchen swallowed hard and said, "If I could refine all these Demon Clan members, I could immediately restore my strength."

Zhang Hengyu said, "Exactly. Regardless of the outcome, we won’t lose."

Zhu Yuchen laughed, "Brother Zhang is truly like Zhang Liang of our age. So why wait? Let’s go to Mount Laojun to meet them."

Zhang Hengyu nodded with him and headed to Mount Laojun at once.

On Mount Laojun, the Demon Clan members were already creating chaos.

Yesterday, Buddha light flashed in the sky above Great Xiangguo Temple, and the Demon Clan at Mount Laojun were not blind; any Great Demon could sense this immense Buddha light.

The demon kings were anxious to eat Monk Tang’s flesh, constantly urging the four leaders here to attack Xiangguo Temple and capture Tang Sanzang alive.

The Little Demons followed suit, thinking that they could drink a cup of hot soup by the time.

Of the Four Great Demon Kings, besides Lady Diyong, the other three demon kings were quite troubled.

This is Capital City’s vital area, with various sects entangled in complex interests.

If they dared to lead the Demon Clan in a blatant attack, not speaking of the secular power, just the fury of various sects could swallow them.

They weren’t unthinking beings. After deliberation, they decided to devise a plan to lure the enemy into a trap!

Since this was to trap the enemy, there had to be bait.

This bait was the Buddhist Sect’s followers and various Buddhist children arriving in Capital City from different places.

The demon kings had already ordered for the Little Demons to ambush all the roads leading to Capital City in the coming days.

They would capture anyone with a bald head.

Now, just on Mount Laojun, they had captured three to four thousand monks.

Some people in the prison complained loudly, claiming they were naturally bald and not monks.

The demons didn’t care about that. Whoever shouted loudly was dragged out, beaten harshly, and then thrown back in.

If they kept shouting and making noise, they would be killed and eaten.

Today, the three demon kings, seeing there were enough people, sent Little Demons to deliver a message to Great Xiangguo Temple in the city.

The message said that if Tang Sanzang did not come to the mountain.

These three thousand monks and followers would meet their end with Tang Sanzang.

In the afternoon, they received a reply.

As they anticipated, Tang Sanzang actually agreed.

Green Pine Daoist laughed, "I’ve long heard that Tang Sanzang is exceptionally pedantic. Just a few laymen are enough to make him fall into our trap!"

Gluttonous Daoist ground his teeth and said, "This time, we not only get to kill Long Fei but also gain a great fortune!"

Only Golden Turtle Daoist wore a solemn expression, sensing something amiss.

Everything seemed too easy.

Lady Diyong sat beside them, smiling without speaking, but inwardly sneering, wondering who would die tomorrow?

She had already received Long Fei’s instructions to act at tomorrow’s opportune moment.

While they were discussing, a Little Demon announced from outside, saying three Daoists had arrived, wanting to report an important matter to the leaders.

Gluttonous Daoist chuckled, "Look at that, all these people have caught the scent of meat!"

"No meeting, no meeting, let them scram!"

Green Pine Daoist coldly ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Little Demon was flung towards them, landing heavily on the ground.

Three people arrived through the air, their pressure radiating all around, coldly surveying the surroundings and said, "Is this how the demon kings treat their guests?"
