#1796 - The Buddhas descended, and the real purpose was revealed
Inside the cave dwelling, Tang Sanzang and his disciples were still bored in their room.
"Monkey, what do you think the boss is planning this time?" Pigsy leaned forward and asked Sun Wukong.
"Who knows? My brother Chu Hao is always full of ideas. I, Old Sun, can't compare. Let's just stay here peacefully." Sun Wukong sat on the chair with his arms crossed, speaking casually.
"But this is too boring," Pigsy said speechlessly.
"What do you want to do, you blockhead?" Sun Wukong glanced at him.
At this moment, Pigsy whispered in his ear, "Monkey, since the demons aren't guarding against us, let's sneak out."
"Sneak out to do what?" Sun Wukong asked back.
"To watch the fun! I reckon there'll be a big show this time," Pigsy winked.
"Really?" Sun Wukong looked doubtful.
"If there's no fun, we'll just come back," Pigsy said.
"Alright, if there's no fun, watch out for Old Sun's fist!" Sun Wukong nodded and transformed into a mosquito, flying out.
"Wait for me, Monkey!" Pigsy shouted, then said to Sandy beside him, "Sandy, keep an eye on Master!"
With that, he transformed into a fat mosquito and flew out of the room.
...
After an unknown amount of time, in the sky above Lion Camel Ridge, the cloudless sky suddenly burst with Buddhist light. Many Buddhas appeared, each bathed in the light. A vast Buddhist power descended from the sky, making the small demons of the entire mountain range unable to move.
Maitreya Buddha led his demonized Arhats and Buddhas out of the cave dwelling, looking at the tall and holy figure in the sky, his smile still present: "Tathagata, I didn't expect you to come personally."
Within the Buddhist light, Tathagata's figure emerged, sitting on a lotus platform, his whole body emitting a heavy Buddhist power. His voice drifted down from the sky: "Eastern Buddha, since you have entered the demonic path, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Hypocrite! If it weren't for you, would I have become a demon?" Maitreya Buddha put away his smile and said coldly.
"Nonsense! Release Tang Sanzang and his disciples, then return to Mount Ling with me," Tathagata said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, you seem to be telling a great joke," Maitreya Buddha sneered.
Tathagata's face was solemn, his precious appearance shining with golden light. He no longer looked at Maitreya Buddha, but instead looked at the three great demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge: "Are you three wicked beasts still going to stubbornly cling to your delusions?"
"You are the wicked beast! Your whole family are wicked beasts!" Dapeng completely disregarded Tathagata's pressure and directly cursed.
His background was extraordinary. Even in Buddhism, he had an unusual status. Moreover, his backing was extremely strong, unlike White Elephant and Green Lion, who were fearful.
"Impudent! How dare you be rude to the Buddha! Are you seeking death?" A Buddha stepped out, it was Manjusri Bodhisattva.
He looked at Green Lion and said angrily, "Wicked beast, why don't you quickly return!"
Green Lion was his mount. His master's words immediately brought pressure. Green Lion's body shook, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Soon, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, White Elephant's master, also stepped out. He stared at White Elephant and said sternly, "Wicked beast, follow me back to Mount Ling, or your life will be in danger!"
White Elephant looked conflicted, especially when he saw so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, his heart wavered.
After all, he joined the demonic path because he was forced by the power of the demon race. When he encountered an even more powerful force, his instinct drove him to choose to submit.
"Interesting, interesting. Does Western Paradise always call its own people 'wicked beasts'?" Suddenly, Chu Hao walked out of the cave dwelling, looking at the Buddhas in the sky with a smile.
"The Prison God is right. This Western Paradise is completely rotten. They think they are high and mighty, with no one in their eyes," Maitreya Buddha nodded with a smile.
These words made Green Lion and White Elephant, who were originally wavering, suddenly come back to their senses.
Being addressed directly by their Daoist names, the two Bodhisattvas were instantly furious, and they each extended their right palms.
In an instant, Buddhist light shone brightly, and terrifying Buddhist power swept in all directions. The right palms burst forth with a beam of Buddhist light, enveloping the two demons.
The two demons were intimidated by the Buddhist power and could not move. Just as the Buddhist light was about to fall, they suddenly saw a demonic aura rise up. It was Maitreya Buddha who had made a move.
He waved his right hand, and spiritual power mixed with demonic light shot out, instantly shattering the opponent's offensive.
"If you want to attack my demon race, you must first pass my test," Maitreya Buddha said, taking out the golden cymbal.
Seeing the supreme treasure, the expressions of Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas changed slightly. They knew the power of this treasure and dared not compete with it, retreating back.
In the high sky, Tathagata said indifferently, "All Buddhas, prepare to follow me to destroy the demons."
"Wait a moment." At this moment, Chu Hao suddenly spoke.
He looked at Tathagata and said, "Tathagata, are you putting on this posture because you plan to destroy me as well?"
Tathagata looked at Chu Hao, his expression calm, and said leisurely, "Prison God, since you want to collude with the demonic path, then don't blame me."
His words left Chu Hao no room for retreat, and he was obviously planning to settle both old and new scores together.
Chu Hao frowned slightly and replied, "Tathagata, what do you mean?"
"You are stubbornly clinging to your delusions, so go to the Western Paradise along with the demonic path," Tathagata's voice came from all directions, carrying a strong Buddhist power, stirring up great power.
This time, he was full of momentum, personally taking charge, determined to suppress the demonic path of Lion Camel Ridge, and at the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Chu Hao.
Just as Maitreya Buddha said, Tathagata, who always held grudges, was going to take the initiative this time, and he certainly did not plan to let him go.
Hearing these words, Chu Hao was immediately furious and said in a deep voice, "Tathagata, if you dare to attack me, you must be prepared."
"Hmph, you have repeatedly provoked my Mount Ling, and you must have colluded with the demonic path long ago. Even if I kill you, the Heavenly Court will not say anything."
Now that things had reached this point, with the Buddhas present, Tathagata was naturally fearless, and his words became very arrogant.
Moreover, he repeatedly accused him of colluding with the demonic path, obviously wanting to put a black mark on Chu Hao and then take the opportunity to kill him.
"Interesting, interesting." Chu Hao laughed in anger and looked at the Buddhas of Western Paradise. He directly mocked, "Have you forgotten the shame of the past?"
These words made the smile on Maitreya Buddha's face stagnate.
He really wanted to say, can you not mention that matter? Do I still need face?
Hearing this, Tathagata did not speak, but Baoyue Guangfo in the Buddhist light said, "Chu Hao, there is no need to say more. Today, the Buddhas of my Mount Ling are mobilized. Even if you and the demonic path join forces, you cannot be our opponents."
The last time in Zhu Zi Kingdom, the statue of Baoyue Guangfo was destroyed, and he had always remembered this matter.
Today, he naturally wanted to take revenge and take the opportunity to kill Chu Hao.
