Chapter 707: Chapter 707

Jiang Ziya’s mouth twitched twice, thinking to himself that as an Inner Sect Disciple of the illustrious Chan Sect, he could not even match a mere mount of the Jie Sect. It was truly damaging to his pride!

Fear not, once I divide the profits, I’ll crush you with money. Not sure if the Ancient Demon Gods like money, but the thought flitted through his mind one after another.

The Bull Demon King said with gravity, "I do not need any assistance. Tang Sanzang is already in my hands, and no one can take him away."

Jiang Ziya came back to his senses, unfolded his prepared speech, and confidently said, "Your Majesty, you will need assistance.

Although you have Tang Sanzang in your possession, Buddhism has never ceased their efforts to rescue him. With Your Majesty’s vast Divine Skills, you can easily deal with the strong ones from Buddhism. However, your subordinates, including your wife, are no match for Buddhism.

And Buddhism will not care about fairness, just like today. If we had not stepped in, Jilei Mountain would have been littered with corpses."

A well-timed look of fear flashed in the eyes of the Jade-faced Fox as she drew close to the Bull Demon King, whispered softly, "Your Majesty, you must protect me!"

The Bull Demon King wrapped his arm around the Jade-faced Fox and patted her buttocks as a form of reassurance, then asked, "If they are inadequate, can you handle it? When the Buddha Army arrives, how will you resist?"

Jiang Ziya bowed and said with a smile, "That’s why Your Majesty needs to recruit wise talent now, gathering demons from all directions.

I happen to know the whereabouts of some Great Demons and can recruit them for Your Majesty. All you need to pay is some of Tang Seng’s meat."

The Jade-faced Fox immediately sat up straight and vociferously objected, "No way, Tang Seng is related to... our Majesty’s immortal body. How could it be given to others?"

Jiang Ziya chuckled and said, "Just a little bit is fine. His Majesty can fatten up Tang Sanzang a bit, then cutting out a piece will not result in too much loss."

The Bull Demon King nodded, laughing heartily, "Makes sense! Let’s go with what the Prime Minister suggested." Tang Sanzang and the like, Bull Demon King didn’t care at all. The notion of immortality was a sham, and what he needed to do now was to establish his prestige. On the one hand, to draw the attention of Buddhism, and on the other, to signal to Red Boy that you’re still green, kid! Hurry back, your old dad can protect you.

The Jade-faced Fox eagerly said, "But Your Majesty, that is Tang Sanzang."

The Bull Demon King nonchalantly patted the Jade-faced Fox’s waist and said, "It’s just a Tang Sanzang, don’t worry about it."

The Jade-faced Fox was discontent.

Jiang Ziya also laughed heartily and said, "Your Majesty, it’s a pleasure to work with you."

The Bull Demon King nodded with a big laugh, "Bring in the feast, to welcome Prime Minister Jiang."

At the banquet, Jiang Ziya drank and dined merrily with a group of Great Demons.

Jiang Ziya raised his cup to the Bull Demon King and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, may I know where you’ve hidden Tang Sanzang?"

Suddenly the table fell silent, everyone turned to look at the Bull Demon King, even the Jade-faced Fox looked on with expectancy. Where exactly was Tang Sanzang? I’ve searched every nook of the Sky Scraping Cave and found nothing.

The Bull Demon King lifted his cup and drank it in one gulp, as if oblivious to their expectant gazes, chuckled and said, "He’s naturally in a place safe enough. Don’t worry, he can’t escape. Once I have driven back Buddhism, I will take him out and share him with all of you."

Jiang Ziya beamed and said, "Then I thank Your Majesty in advance!

However, I must still remind Your Majesty to be very cautious about Tang Sanzang. He is no easy target to deal with."

"I’ve heard Tang Sanzang is nothing but an ordinary master, what’s so difficult about dealing with him? Could he really turn the heavens upside down?" The Jade-faced Fox spoke nonchalantly, her bright, watery eyes filled with tenderness and honey as she looked at Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard, speaking gravely: "I have crossed paths with Tang Sanzang and his disciples dozens of times and am very familiar with their methods. Sun Wukong isn’t difficult to handle, we can push him back, but after that we’ll have to face the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. These outcomes are predictable, with evidence to follow.

The real challenge lies with that mortal, Tang Sanzang himself.

Although Tang Sanzang is but an ordinary son of secular means, he is extremely wealthy. With wealth, he can purchase Magic Treasures and talismans in the Three Realms Mall, with wealth, he can find helpers. Otherwise, how do you think those Demon Kings who previously worked with me died?"

Jiang Ziya sighed and said: "My former fellow Daoists did not lose because they were less skilled, but because they were poor!"

At the dining table, everyone had a strange look on their faces. Can it be? This is the kind of person Tang Sanzang is.

Jiang Ziya clasped his fists and said, "I implore Your Majesty to be wary, don’t let Tang Sanzang turn the tables. It would be best to confiscate his Three Realms Mall."

The Bull Demon King nodded, laughing: "Thank you, Prime Minister Jiang, for the reminder. Rest assured! I have made complete preparations; he won’t be able to escape."

"As long as the Demon King is aware, that’s good."

After the banquet, everyone dispersed and returned to their Cave Mansions.

In a side hall, Jiang Ziya convened a meeting with three Demon Kings.

The Wuqi Demon King communicated telepathically: "Sect Leader Jiang, didn’t you say this place would become a battleground for the Heavenly Court and Buddhism, and that we should temporarily withdraw? So why have you suddenly brought us to Jilei Mountain?"

The other two Demon Kings also looked at Jiang Ziya, waiting for his explanation.

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and replied telepathically: "Because this is where we’re most likely to get our hands on Tang Sanzang."

Wuqi Demon King grumbled telepathically: "How is it the most likely place? I think it’s where we’re most likely to die. We can’t provoke Buddhism, and this Bull Demon King isn’t easy to mess with either."

The Shadow Demon King sent a telepathic message: "Because it’s chaotic here."

"What’s so good about chaos? Go on, explain!"

The Shadow Demon King didn’t speak again, remaining aloof.

Jiang Ziya explained: "In other places, even if we captured Tang Sanzang, we would be hunted down by Buddhism. But here it’s different. The Immortals of the Three Realms all know Tang Sanzang is in the Bull Demon King’s hands, and Buddhism’s attention is drawn to the Bull Demon King too. This allows us to covertly find Tang Sanzang’s location and then take him away without the Buddhists noticing. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel✶fire.net

But it’s not chaotic enough right now, so I’ve been helping the Bull Demon King by inviting other Demon Kings over to resist Buddhism. Ideally, the Western Continent would be thrown into total disarray. In the chaos is where we can best seize Tang Sanzang."

The Hidden Mountain Demon King communicated telepathically: "This is undoubtedly very risky, but I agree. Fortune favors the bold."

The Shadow Demon King sent a message: "I agree too, this is indeed a rare opportunity."

The Wuqi Demon King transmitted his thoughts: "Fine then! Since you all say it can be done, I’ll join you."

Jiang Ziya smiled and said: "I will surely not disappoint you all."

Why come to the Bull Demon King now? A great battle is about to erupt! It’s easier to strike in the chaos, eliminate some Blood Killing Demons, and coincidentally collect the corpses of the fallen heroes of the Demon Clan. Blessed Infinite Heavenly Venerable, I am simply too kind.
