Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha were led before Wei Chen.
Wei Chen looked at Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha, and calmly asked, "Why have you surrendered?"
Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha quickly replied, "You are the god of the Demon Realm, right? We know about your methods in Jade Emperor Palace. Who would dare to resist someone like you?"
"That's right, Deity. We are all people who know the times. It's clear that Thunder Sound Temple won't last much longer. If we don't surrender now, are we just waiting to die?"
"Deity, the Western Buddha is not a decent being. He indulges in wine and women while pretending to be a virtuous person. It's truly disgusting!"
"Deity, please believe in our sincerity. We four disciples do not aspire to hold any important positions under you; we only wish for a quiet place to cultivate. If you can see our worth and have any tasks for us, we will do our utmost."
Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha took turns flattering Wei Chen, their attitude as respectful as possible.
Wei Chen was quite interested in these four legendary figures.
He examined Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha with a calm gaze and said lightly, "When you went on your journey for scriptures back then, I never understood why you didn't just fly there. It seemed like such a simple task; why did you make it so complicated?"
"My lord may not know this, but it was all designed by the Western Buddha to have us spread his teachings along the way. In reality, it's all nonsense—it's fake. Those so-called teachings are just superficial things that offer no real benefit to anyone."
"Yes, my lord. I wanted to fly there too, but that dead woman Guanyin insisted on hooking my master up and made him promise to walk instead. Later on, Guanyin turned her back on him; my master never got anything from her..."
Tang Seng and Demon Monkey Kong spoke in turn.
Hearing Demon Monkey Kong's words made Wei Chen want to laugh; however, Tang Seng looked as if he had eaten something unpleasant—he felt like crying but couldn't! What was this Demon Monkey Kong thinking?
Wei Chen clapped his hands and laughed, "I will take you in now. You can cultivate well in my Demon Realm. However, I have a task for you."
Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha asked in unison, "What is it?"
"Once you arrive in the Demon Realm and settle down, you should start writing a book titled 'Journey to the West but Heading East,' to let the world know that what you did back then, the so-called Buddha, is all a lie. The so-called cultivation is also a lie," Wei Chen said calmly.
Tang Seng nodded and replied, "Deity, you are correct. The path of cultivation may differ, but ultimately they all lead to the same destination. Cultivating Buddhism and Daoism are merely different methods of practice; they are not as noble as portrayed in myths. We will certainly fulfill the task you have assigned to us."
With Tang Seng's response, Wei Chen felt quite pleased and instructed his people to take Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha into the inner chamber of Shenzhou for their accommodation. It was more of a soft confinement and surveillance than actual accommodation.
After they left, Demon Lotus Emperor emerged and asked, "Child, are you really that at ease with them? Tang Seng, Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha are not exactly harmless!"
"Demon Lotus Emperor, do you not trust my basic judgment? Perhaps they have some differences with me, but they have already lost hope in Thunder Sound Temple; it's safe to say they've turned to the light," Wei Chen replied calmly.
"I was born in Thunder Sound Temple; I know these four well. They are quite cunning, so we must be cautious," Demon Lotus Emperor said.
"Demon Lotus Emperor, do you think that no matter how cunning they are, they can outsmart me? My methods are not something mere tricks can resist. The Demon Realm is my domain; within my world, a single thought can determine their lives or deaths," Wei Chen said with a grin.
"Tang Seng and Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha clearly harbor resentment towards Western Buddha and no longer wish to serve under him. Beyond that, there’s nothing much to worry about. What kind of waves can such people create in the Demon Realm? Demon Lotus Emperor, you seem to be growing increasingly timid and overly cautious."
Wei Chen looked down on Demon Lotus Emperor for a moment. The latter chuckled bitterly and said, "I know I might be overthinking it; it’s just that I caught a whiff of Nuwa Stone's presence and got a bit excited."
"Child, you must have a way to deal with this, right? The defense shield of Thunder Sound Temple is supported by Nuwa Stone; surely you have a method to break through this defense?" Demon Lotus Emperor scrutinized Wei Chen.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "Regardless of whether I do or not, just wait patiently."
"Then give me some assurance—can you really break through Thunder Sound Temple's defense?" Demon Lotus Emperor pressed.
Wei Chen said lightly, "I merely want to see how many people inside Thunder Sound Temple will surrender when they are cornered. That defense shield can be shattered with a wave of my hand. What I despise most in life is the so-called Buddhist practices; those things have deceived many people and hold no real significance. I am very clear about how meaningless they are, but many others are not. Therefore, I want to force the people inside Thunder Sound Temple out and make them surrender. Tang Seng and his companions are just small fish; the real big fish are still behind."
"Big fish? Are you hoping for Western Buddha to come out and surrender?" Demon Lotus Emperor asked.
Wei Chen shook his head. "Not Western Buddha; he won't come out to surrender since he feels secure with Nuwa Stone in his possession. The big fish I refer to is Guanyin."
“Guanyin?” The Demon Lotus Emperor was taken aback, looking at Wei Chen with a strange expression. “Child, didn’t you already win over the most beautiful woman in the Nine Immortal Realm? How is it that so soon, you’ve grown tired of her?”
“You’re overthinking it. Do you really think I would like someone else’s discarded shoe?” Wei Chen shot a disdainful glance at Demon Lotus Emperor. “What I want is for the Western Buddha to be abandoned by everyone, to fall into despair. Don’t you think it’s meaningless to directly break through the barrier and snatch the Nuwa Stone?”
“I don’t think so. I hope for a decisive battle. You’ve brought the Three Hundred Million Demon Army, and their needs are a huge problem. The longer they stay in the Nine Immortal Realm, the more resources we consume. The consumption of such an Army is an extremely terrifying number; how much can you sustain?” Demon Lotus Emperor countered.
Wei Chen laughed, “When we came, the Demon Realm Army prepared supplies for three months. It hasn’t been long at all. Don’t worry, I can afford the supplies. The Nine Immortal Realm is just the first step; next, we will march relentlessly towards the Hua Xia World to fulfill your aspirations.”
Demon Lotus Emperor sighed, “So you do know how to help me achieve my aspirations? Then hurry up! Continuing to waste time here is not beneficial for us. Don’t just indulge yourself and exhaust the supplies for three hundred million Army!”
“Finally revealing your thoughts, huh? You just want to finish this quickly so you can go to the Hua Xia World. I know you well,” Wei Chen teased as he looked at Demon Lotus Emperor.
Demon Lotus Emperor shrugged, “You’re not wrong; I do hope for that. But doing so would also benefit you!”
“True, but there’s no need to rush. Once the people from Thunder Sound Temple have mostly surrendered, this game of cat and mouse will come to an end.”
Wei Chen approached this with a cat-and-mouse mentality; otherwise, he would have destroyed the Thunder Sound Temple long ago. Even without the Reprint, the Thunder Sound Temple wouldn’t withstand an attack from the Boundary God.
Within the Demon Realm Army, there was no sense of panic; they understood that if Wei Chen was holding back and continuing this way, there was a reason behind it—it wouldn’t be aimless.
Under Wei Chen’s orders, the Three Hundred Million Demon Army split into three hundred teams, taking turns attacking the Thunder Sound Temple.
Despite the attacks from the Demon Realm Army, the Thunder Sound Temple remained unharmed. However, within its walls, confidence in the methods of the Western Buddha was dwindling.
As Tang Seng and his companions—Demon Monkey Kong, Pigsy, and Demon Monk Sha—surrendered and rebelled, several other Buddha, who had volunteered to fight afterward, also switched sides. The atmosphere within the Thunder Sound Temple became increasingly tense and oppressive.
At such times, anything seemed futile; only engaging in battle with the strong from the Demon Realm could alleviate their distress.
Unfortunately, with Tang Seng and his companions leading by example, those who followed suit boarded the Shenzhou, flattering the Dark Mage, speaking ill of the Western Buddha, and ultimately becoming captives of the Demon Realm.
No matter the circumstances, they had surrendered. In name, they were captives, and according to both moral standards and the rules of captivity, they were entitled to proper care and treatment. This meant that although they were prisoners, their lives would not be too harsh.
Inside the Thunder Sound Temple, anxiety filled the air. After the previous two who volunteered to fight had been killed in a fit of rage by the Western Buddha, no one dared to step forward again.
The Western Buddha felt helpless. At this point, he had no way of knowing who genuinely wanted to battle the forces of the Demon Realm and who was merely seeking to surrender. After all, those who had fought before had surrendered, leaving the Western Buddha with no choice but to feel disheartened.
Thus, despite expressing unwavering loyalty a thousand times over, the two unfortunate souls had met a cruel fate at the hands of the Western Buddha.
Of course, whether those two truly wished to engage in battle with the forces of the Demon Realm remained a mystery known only to them. They would never have the chance to prove their intentions.
Within the Thunder Sound Temple, the atmosphere was oppressive and cold. Countless attacks were constantly bombarding the defensive barrier. Although it appeared safe inside the temple, everyone felt severely threatened; no one believed they were truly secure.
Who knew how long that barrier could hold?
The best option seemed to be surrender.
However, they couldn't just approach the Western Buddha and declare their intention to surrender. The only choice left was to volunteer for battle. The problem was that those remaining lacked foresight; it was too late for them to step forward. At this point, it seemed there was no opportunity left. Anyone volunteering for battle now would likely be eliminated by the Western Buddha.
The Western Buddha's face was cold and devoid of humor. Within the Thunder Sound Temple, he was the ultimate authority; no one could hope to gain any advantage over him. The methods he displayed when he executed those two volunteers made it clear that his power had reached a level beyond what anyone dared to imagine.
But just as everyone fell silent in fear, a Buddha stepped forward, kneeling on the ground and bowing towards the Western Buddha. In a deep voice, he declared, "Buddha, I am willing to fight!"
Upon seeing this individual, a spark of interest lit up in the eyes of the Western Buddha.
