Chapter 2621 - 2619: Delivering Salvation to All Living Beings

Chapter 2621: Chapter 2619: Delivering Salvation to All Living Beings

The three major figures of the Nether Sea, along with Lady Diyong, stood up simultaneously, fixating their gaze on the newcomer.

A Bat Demon with wings, carrying a Blood Refining Divine Blade, arrogantly shouted towards the approaching Demon Clan, "Don’t move recklessly! My blade is blind to where it strikes!"

Someone recognized him and sneered, "Isn’t this the Plague Demon Monarch?"

"Oh, whose patron have you climbed on now? Your tone has gotten much bolder!"

Someone mocked from behind.

The Plague Demon Monarch was so furious that his sharp fangs showed, "What power is it to talk behind someone’s back? If you have the guts, come out and speak."

The Gluttonous Daoist roared angrily, "Where did this little rat come from? It’s not your place to shout around here!"

He raised his hand and forcefully pressed down, forming a handprint the size of a meditation cushion, smashing it towards the Plague Demon Monarch’s head.

The Plague Demon Monarch shouted in fear, "Master, save me!"

Zhu Yuchen acted, raising his hand to counter the Gluttonous handprint with his Blood Transformation Handprint.

The ground shook with a rumble, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear beneath his feet.

Both of their palms trembled simultaneously.

The Gluttonous Daoist was about to strike again when Zhu Yuchen intervened, "Hold on, we came to discuss a grand plan with you all."

The Gluttonous Daoist scoffed, "With just you guys?"

Zhu Yuchen replied, "To be frank, we’ve already had an encounter with Tang Sanzang and the others."

Everyone exchanged glances and looked at him, "So, you mean to say you failed?"

The Gluttonous Daoist laughed heartily, "With their meager skills, of course, they failed."

Zhu Yuchen said, "Precisely because we failed, we now have experience in dealing with them. If you don’t accept us now, you’ll lose a tenth of your assurance. Esteemed Demon Kings, opportunities are fleeting. If you miss this chance, next time you’ll face the Golden Cudgel of his eldest disciple, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

The Demon Kings shuddered, as if the Golden Cudgel was right in front of their eyes.

The name of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was a taboo in the Demon Clan.

Back then, a single Golden Cudgel paved its way to fame during the journey to obtain the scriptures.

The three major figures of the Nether Sea and Lady Diyong discussed among themselves, feeling they should consider their opinions.

The Gluttonous Daoist asked, "Alright then, what are your views?"

He waved his hand, dispersing the Little Demons, leaving only the three of them with Zhu Yuchen.

Zhu Yuchen said, "You all might not know, but I’ve fought Tang Sanzang personally. After becoming a Buddha, he’s not as weak as others claim; he possesses immense mana. To capture him, we need a foolproof plan."

The Gluttonous Daoist laughed arrogantly, "We’ve already devised a way to capture that monk, and have methods to deal with him, so no need for you three to worry."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuchen chuckled, "Is it that inviting the guest into the urn plan?"

"You?"

The Three Demon Kings of the Nether Sea all looked at Zhu Yuchen in surprise, not expecting him to know such a confidential matter.

They looked towards Lady Diyong.

Lady Diyong coldly said, "It’s none of my business; I’m not acquainted with them."

Zhu Yuchen chuckled lightly, "Indeed, the lady is not familiar with us; this information didn’t come from her. What I want to tell you is that your plan to invite the monk into the urn is indeed good, and that monk has fallen for it. However, he has three disciples protecting him. Even if you have magical treasures to deal with them, flaws are inevitable. We offer to help you patch these flaws."

The Kunpeng Demon King questioned, "After all this talk, what abilities do you have?"

Zhu Yuchen raised his hand, revealing a circle of blood-colored Long Banners before everyone.

The release of the Blood Banners filled the air with a strong stench of blood.

These sinister Blood Banners created a chilling atmosphere, making those within feel like they were about to be devoured by the banners.

Zhu Yuchen smiled proudly, "This is my life-bound magical treasure, the Minghe Blood Transformation Demon Banner Formation. Once this formation is activated, it can counter any righteous magical treasure and suppress the power of the Buddhist Sect. With this formation, you have greater assurance in capturing that monk."

"Not bad!"

The Demon Kings looked at the formation with appreciation.

The Gluttonous Daoist stared at Zhang Hengyu and the other two, "What do you have to offer to get a share of the spoils?"

The two shook their heads, "We are here to assist only, acting on the periphery. If you capture the monk, we won’t claim your share."

Zhu Yuchen said unexpectedly, "Precisely, we aren’t here for the monk, but for the blood feud between the Buddhist Sect and our Nether River Sect. In this encounter, we will only support from the outskirts and absolutely won’t compete with you for the monk!"

He presented himself earnestly, almost convincing himself.

Zhang Hengyu said, "Indeed, we are here for revenge and to build goodwill with you, not to claim your share!"

The Plague Demon Monarch opened his mouth, thinking that his masters had an impressively thick skin.

The Three Demon Kings of the Nether Sea and Lady Diyong conversed privately, agreeing that regardless of these three’s motives, they could let them assist from the periphery. Even if they were lying, they wouldn’t get a share anyway.

The four Demon Kings agreed with them and later that night made plans with them on the mountain, distributing tasks accordingly.

Zhu Yuchen and the others were placed at the outermost edge of the defensive array, with Lady Diyong, the Gluttonous Daoist, and the Green Pine Daoist stationed at the second line of defense against Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and the Little White Dragon.

Tang Sanzang would be dealt with by the Golden Turtle Daoist, using the Precious Lotus Lantern.

The other Little Demons would defend the entire mountain to prevent Tang Sanzang from bringing earthly forces to attack.

Having made thorough preparations, they awaited Tang Sanzang’s arrival on the mountain.

Early the next day, the entire Great Xiangguo Temple was buzzing.

Someone had released news that Tang Sanzang was heading to Mount Laojun to rescue monks and believers captured by the Demon Clan.

When "Tang Sanzang" emerged under the protection of his three disciples, followers and monks on both sides urged him to be cautious and not act recklessly.

Zhu Bajie also tried to dissuade him, having spent considerable effort explaining the situation.

However, "Tang Sanzang" refused to listen and was determined to go.

Outside the gate, the Little White Dragon knelt and gently exclaimed, "Since Master is resolved to save all sentient beings, I dare not stop you. I am willing to become a white horse again for you, to carry you forward."

There and then, he transformed into a white horse, allowing "Tang Sanzang" to ride on his back.

The four master and disciples set out alone, with followers and monks escorting them out of the city, followed by tens of thousands of people.

Under Mount Laojun, the Little Demons were on high alert.

News continued to flow in, even causing the Demon Kings on the mountain, who were already prepared, to feel a mix of anxiety and excitement, believing that immortality and longevity were within reach today.

They ordered the Little Demons to stop followers and monks, only allowing Tang Sanzang and his disciples to ascend the mountain.

The followers were blocked outside the mountain, while "Tang Sanzang," riding a white horse, proceeded into the mountain with his two disciples guarding from the front and back.

Bajie looked at the three layers of demons and said nervously, "Wow, there must be around a hundred thousand demons here, right?"

Sha Seng assessed the surroundings, "Indeed, that seems about right."

Bajie followed up, "Once we enter, aren’t we like fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others?"
