Uchiha Shin flew all the way toward the Heavenly Court, thinking constantly about how he should speak to Taishang Laojun when the time came.
Although he still did not fully understand Taishang Laojun's intentions, Uchiha Shin knew that Laojun likely did not want the demon race to continue existing.
Otherwise, Laojun would not have been so hesitant and indecisive regarding the demon race.
He still had another question: why had Taishang Laojun allowed the demon race to emerge in the first place?
When the Buddhist Sect went to aid the demon race, Taishang Laojun had chances to stop them, yet he had done nothing and simply allowed the Buddhist Sect to act. It was truly strange.
Though Laojun later strengthened Yang Jian and Goku, allowing them to drive back the demon race, that did not solve the fundamental problem. The demons still had not retreated to the Netherworld.
Could Taishang Laojun have some other plan?
Lost in thought, Uchiha Shin arrived at the West Heaven Gate. Since he had come from the Western Ox-He Continent, entering the Heavenly Court through the West Heaven Gate was the shortest route.
As he neared the West Heaven Gate and was about to enter, Uchiha Shin suddenly stopped and swept his gaze around.
He sensed a strange power rippling through the air nearby, a power somewhat similar to that of the demon race.
"Has a demon secretly come to the Heavenly Court?" Uchiha Shin was startled.
Hongjun Island was surrounded so tightly by the Spirit Demon Clan that not even water could pass through. Even if demons had truly escaped, they should not have come to the Heavenly Court. Wouldn't that be courting death?
Following that trace of power, Uchiha Shin quietly headed south.
A thousand li from the West Heaven Gate, Uchiha Shin
