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

#2370 - The clever Tathagata

Buddha arranged things this way with a certain cleverness, but ultimately, it was just petty cleverness.

Moreover, Chu Hao and Chu Jin were not simple characters either, so Buddha's actions would naturally sow the seeds of future trouble for the Western Paradise.

Of course, Buddha's subordinates, like Guanyin, always flattered him, so naturally, they wouldn't say anything else to Buddha.

"The Buddha's plan is truly brilliant!"

"The Buddha's arrangement can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"No one is smarter than the Buddha; we admire you!"

Guanyin and the others all said with smiling faces, unaware of how cruelly they smiled now, and how miserably they would cry later.

On the Blood Demon's side, after the last great battle with Chu Hao, Buddha, and Chu Jin, three saints, the Blood Demon returned to the Sea of Blood to recover.

In this Sea of Blood, the Blood Demon not only recovered extremely quickly but could also devour Blood Fiends, so in just a few days, he had recovered to his original state.

The number of Blood Fiends in this Sea of Blood was impossible to calculate because Blood Fiends were constantly condensed and born in the Sea of Blood.

However, simple Blood Fiends were weak; even if there were many of them, they were not to be feared. Without the Blood Demon's leadership, they could not break out of the underground Sea of Blood.

"Since they have joined forces to deal with me, then I must strike first."

"I will first attack Mount Ling, then seize the Heavenly Court, and finally exterminate the Demon Clan, so that the Three Realms will be under my control."

The Blood Demon's repeated unfavorable actions made the violence in his heart even greater, and he was planning his plan to unify the Three Realms.

At this moment, Buddha had already led the many big shots of the Western Paradise and thousands of elite backbone Buddhas towards the underground Sea of Blood.

Buddha came to the Sea of Blood and, according to the plan, provoked the Blood Demon to battle.

"Blood Demon, why don't you roll out for this venerable one? You are a Blood Sea monster who dares to disrupt the Three Realms. This venerable one has specially brought my Western Paradise monks to subdue you."

The Blood Demon was naturally furious upon hearing Buddha's scolding.

His huge body quickly emerged from the Sea of Blood and came before Buddha.

"Bald donkey Buddha, do you think you can really subdue me?"

"Three saints couldn't do anything to me and let me leave easily. Are you here to die by coming here alone?"

"Since you don't take the road to heaven and barge into the gate of hell, then today, your Western Paradise will be destroyed here."

As the Blood Demon spoke, he attacked Buddha, and his huge blood-colored body turned into streaks of blood light towards Buddha.

Buddha was not flustered when he saw the Blood Demon attacking but chanted scriptures quietly. As Buddha chanted, a yellow light rose up.

Within the light, there were also Buddhist mantras mixed in, forming a huge yellow barrier.

Not only Buddha, but Guanyin and the others, as well as thousands of Buddhas, were also chanting scriptures.

The backbone combat power of the Western Paradise gathered here was also an extremely powerful force. They chanted scriptures together, displaying the suppression power of Buddhism.

Immediately, yellow light covered the Sea of Blood, forming a layer of enchantment, and even the Blood Demon's streaks of blood light were blocked by the barrier.

Of course, the Blood Demon was not alone. Seeing this situation, he naturally did not dare to be negligent.

"Come out!"

With the Blood Demon's shout, the originally calm Sea of Blood began to churn.

One by one, Blood Fiends emerged from the Sea of Blood. Although the strength of these Blood Fiends varied, the highest was only at the Golden Immortal level.

They naturally could not compare with the big shots of the Western Paradise like Guanyin, but their numbers were extremely large.

As for how many Blood Fiends came out of the Sea of Blood, it was already difficult to calculate; almost all the Blood Fiends in the entire Sea of Blood emerged.

The number was more than hundreds of thousands, probably more than millions when added together.

Seeing so many Blood Fiends, not to mention Guanyin and the others, even Buddha couldn't help but feel a little scalp tingling.

"There are too many Blood Fiends; retreat!"

Buddha and the others were not here to fight the Blood Demon head-on. Seeing the Blood Fiends swarming out, Buddha immediately ordered a retreat.

Buddha led the Western Paradise monks to flee, and the Blood Demon naturally led millions of Blood Fiends to pursue.

In fact, those brought by Buddha were the backbone combat power of the Western Paradise. If they wanted to escape, they would escape extremely quickly.

But they could lure, basically deliberately slowing down their speed, fighting and retreating with the Blood Fiends, so that they could lure the Blood Demon and the Blood Fiend army out.

The Blood Demon's hatred for the Western Paradise was actually the deepest. Seeing Buddha being defeated at this time, he naturally pursued fiercely all the way.

From the depths of the underground Nine Netherworlds, he chased all the way to the ground, and then to the air, already chasing relentlessly.

While Buddha was luring out the Blood Demon and Blood Fiends, Chu Hao and Chu Jin were also paying attention to the situation with their respective troops.

Seeing that Buddha had succeeded, the two were also preparing for their respective actions.

"Chu Hao, look, the Western Paradise troops led by Buddha number only a few thousand. Obviously, he has not mobilized the Western Paradise army."

Chu Jin said to Chu Hao. In fact, without him saying it, Chu Hao knew it very well.

"Buddha wants to preserve the strength of the Western Paradise and also wants to seize the credit. Since that's the case, we might as well fulfill him."

Chu Hao gave Chu Jin a strange smile.

"Since Buddha is like this, then we can't be blamed."

"Let him pay the price for his petty cleverness."

Chu Jin naturally understood and led the Demon Clan and Monster Clan armies to follow behind the Blood Demon and countless Blood Fiends.

Chu Jin's task was to block the Blood Demon's retreat. After Chu Hao completed the seal, he would join forces with Buddha and the Western Paradise army to attack the Blood Demon.

Seeing Chu Jin leading the Demon Clan and Monster Clan armies to follow the Blood Demon, Chu Hao led the Underworld God Hall's troops towards the Sea of Blood in the depths of the underground Nine Netherworlds.

Coming to the Sea of Blood, Chu Hao looked at the few Wu Clan elders.

"Can this Sea of Blood be sealed with the Wu Clan's sacred artifacts?"

Chu Hao asked the Wu Clan elders.

"Our Wu Clan's sacred artifacts do have Pangu's power, but it is not yet known whether it will have an effect on the Sea of Blood."

"We can only do our best, and it will take a long time to seal such a vast and complex Sea of Blood and Styx with sacred artifacts."

"Moreover, we need the help of the Underworld God and the many celestial immortals of the Underworld God Hall; otherwise, we will not have enough strength to complete it."

The Wu Clan elders replied to Chu Hao.

"Well, this Underworld God and all the troops of the Underworld God Hall will do their best to cooperate with you."

"You must complete the seal as soon as possible; otherwise, it is estimated that the Western Paradise and the Demon Clan will not be able to hold on."

Chu Hao said to the Wu Clan elders.

"Activate the power of the sacred artifacts and prepare to seal the Sea of Blood."

The twelve elders immediately took their positions and began to offer the twelve Wu Clan sacred artifacts.
