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

#1803 - Give me some face, Tathagata regrets

Chu Hao nodded and then left the palace.

While he was in closed-door cultivation breaking through, only one night had passed in the lower realm. Seeing the commotion in the cave last night, the Western Heaven was naturally guessing who won between Chu Hao and the Demon Clan.

"Venerable Guanyin, go and see how Chu Hao is doing," Tathagata ordered.

Guanyin descended to the mortal realm and arrived in front of the cave, but did not dare to go deep inside.

Just then, Chu Hao returned from the Heavenly Court. Seeing Guanyin, he walked forward to greet her, "Little Guanyin, what's wrong?"

Guanyin nodded: "That's good. Then have the gods of the Law Enforcement Hall prepare to take action. When the time comes, we'll cooperate from the inside and outside."

This was the original planned strategy.

But Chu Hao suddenly said: "My subordinates? They've already gone back."

"Ah?" Guanyin looked surprised.

That's not how the plot is supposed to go! Shouldn't both sides cooperate from the inside and outside to kill the enemy? Why have your subordinates left?

"Chu Hao, didn't you say you would help us? You even took away three million merits of divine water and ten innate spiritual treasures," Guanyin said in a deep voice, thinking that Chu Hao had gone back on his word.

"Yes, I am going to help you, but what does that have to do with my subordinates?" Chu Hao asked rhetorically.

"This…" Guanyin didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She looked at Chu Hao and simply said: "Whatever, you go and talk to the Buddha."

"Alright," Chu Hao said with a smile and returned to the Western Heaven camp with Guanyin.

Inside the camp, Tathagata looked at Chu Hao calmly and said: "Jail God, you should be ready, right?"

"Always ready," Chu Hao nodded.

However, these words made Tathagata frown. He looked around at the surrounding void and said: "Where are your subordinates? Could they be in that cave?"

"No, they've gone back. We don't need them," Chu Hao repeated again.

These words immediately surprised all the Buddhas.

"Chu Hao, what do you mean?" Baoyue Guangfo said angrily, thinking that Chu Hao was going to go back on his word again.

Even Tathagata frowned: "Without your subordinates, how can the Western Heaven easily take down the Demon Clan army?"

"This is easy. Watch me," Chu Hao said confidently, and then flew out.

The Buddhas were puzzled and had no choice but to look at him.

They saw Chu Hao come to the high altitude and shout towards the cave: "Where is Maitreya Buddha!"

The next second, Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Clan general Yue Shan walked out and looked at the high altitude.

"What do you want, Jail God?" Maitreya Buddha asked with a smile.

"Give me some face and withdraw your troops," Chu Hao said.

"Alright," Maitreya Buddha nodded.

Then he directly ordered the Demon Clan army to leave.

That's right.

They left.

Without any reason, the mighty Demon Clan army disappeared before everyone's eyes, fully interpreting what it means to follow orders and leave when told.

This scene left the Buddhas of the Western Heaven dumbfounded and unable to react.

Tathagata was also shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

"Solved," Chu Hao came back and said to Tathagata.

After speaking, he turned around to leave.

"Wait a moment," Tathagata immediately called out to him.

"What's wrong? I've finished my task. If you want me to do more, you have to pay more," Chu Hao asked.

"Just this?" Tathagata said.

"Of course. Didn't you say you wanted me to help you repel the Demon Clan? Well, they've been repelled," Chu Hao said.

These words made all the Buddhas want to vomit blood.

Repelled? You call this repelled? Are you kidding us?

"Chu Hao, we said to eliminate the Demon Clan army," Tathagata said in a deep voice.

He originally thought he would see a great battle between the Demon Clan army and the Law Enforcement Hall, and then the Western Heaven would reap the benefits, but he didn't expect the Demon Clan to just leave like that.

And it was only because of a word from Chu Hao.

This made Tathagata feel a little frantic, feeling like he had been cheated.

Therefore, Chu Hao explained: "As the saying goes, subdue the enemy without fighting. The Demon Clan probably saw my heroic posture last night, so they fled in panic."

Are you kidding me?

Was that a panicked escape? Tathagata even suspected that Chu Hao had already made a deal with the Demon Clan.

He quickly sent Guanyin to the mortal realm to investigate.

After Guanyin descended to the mortal realm, she entered the cave and saw all three demons there. When they saw Guanyin, they changed their previous arrogant attitude and quickly said: "We were threatened by the Demon Clan."

Guanyin ignored them and only asked: "Where is Tang Sanzang?"

"He is locked up in the back," Qing Lion said.

Guanyin immediately went to take a look and found that Tang Sanzang and his disciples were indeed locked up. What was somewhat unexpected was that Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were also locked up there.

She didn't want to alert the enemy. After leaving the cave, she informed Tathagata of this matter.

Learning that Tang Sanzang had not been taken away, Tathagata breathed a sigh of relief.

"Buddha, I'll go first if there's nothing else," Chu Hao said.

Now that the Demon Clan army has retreated, and Tang Sanzang and his disciples have been captured, according to the Journey to the West tribulations, it's time for the Western Heaven to take action.

But Tathagata always felt that something was wrong.

That's right, his Western Heaven spent three million merits of divine water and ten innate treasures to get Chu Hao to take action.

In the end, this guy just moved his mouth and it was over.

How could Tathagata be willing to accept this? He stared at Chu Hao and said in a deep voice: "Chu Hao, the three million merits of divine water and ten innate treasures were for you to join forces to suppress and kill the Demon Clan army. Now that they have run away, you must hand them over."

Obviously, Tathagata was unwilling to let his things go to waste, and immediately wanted to go back on his word.

"What are you talking about? Didn't I help you drive away the enemy?" Chu Hao immediately retorted.

"Just driving them away is not worth this price. Hand them over quickly," Without the Demon Clan army, Tathagata was not afraid of a mere Law Enforcement Hall.

These words made Chu Hao's face sink, and he said coldly: "What? Does the Buddha want to go back on his word?"

"You didn't complete our agreement. Hand them over quickly," Tathagata's body shone with golden light, and the Buddha's power was vast, rolling towards Chu Hao.

He wanted to suppress the other party with his own powerful strength.

Chu Hao sneered: "The dignified Lord of the West is so unrighteous. You want me to hand them over? I'm telling you, no way."

Saying that, he swept his gaze over the Buddhas and said sternly: "I'm leaving today, let me see who dares to stop me."

Saying that, he turned around and planned to leave.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

At this time, Tathagata suddenly shouted loudly.

He stretched out his right palm, and the Buddha's light bloomed, and endless rays of light spread out in all directions. The vast power enveloped down, and within that palm, the surging Buddha's intention surged out.
