Two Pieces of News

In short, it's all a misunderstanding!

Seeing that the Buddha Son Shigong and the demon kings were fighting in a chaotic manner, Zhang Xuezhou was overjoyed.

Even the most shameless demon kings wouldn't dare demand the Western Sect's Guardianship Order from the Buddha Son Shigong at this moment. Most demon kings simply thought that keeping the peace and avoiding trouble would be considered a complete success.

This change in attitude isn't particularly surprising.

If Zhang Xuezhou, relying on his past meeting with the Crown Prince, were to lead Rong Tianding and others to seek refuge, Rong Tianding would likely beat up the Great Han Dynasty.

The matter is easily understood through a simple comparison.

After the fight was resolved, Buddha Son Shigong looked dejected, feeling as if he had suffered an undeserved misfortune.

As for the demon kings, they looked at each other, then at each other again.

They were helpless. After the Buddha Son Shigong rushed out of the Mahabodhi Temple, he attacked ruthlessly, and the King of Ten Thousand Foxes was almost killed. Under such circumstances, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't fight back.

"It's all because Animus, the greeter in your secret realm, overreacted," the Fox King complained. "His shouting and yelling ruined everything!"

No one blamed Zhang Xuezhou. The Buddha Son Shigong overreacted; even the demon kings hadn't reacted in time, let alone Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Xuezhou was lucky to have arrived in time to break up the fight; he was quick enough to escape.

Ultimately, the one who took the blame was Animo, the middle-aged monk who had been frightened and screamed earlier.

If the middle-aged Tibetan monk hadn't panicked, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Damn Animo!

The Buddha Son Shigong pointed angrily at Animus, who was still somewhat dazed in the distance, and launched into a tirade of curses.

He knew perfectly well that the matter couldn't be blamed on Animo. Not to mention Fifth Realm cultivator like Animo, even the Buddha Son Shigong was quite frightened by the group of demon kings outside the Maha Bodhi Temple.

In the Northern Kuru Continent, there are Venerable Zhu Jiuyin and Yuansheng Nine Spirits as leaders of flying birds and beasts, and many demons obey their commands. However, the demons of Xiniu Hezhou are a disorganized bunch, each with their own territory, and have never had such a situation of gathering and cooperating.

Among the new generation of the Western Sect, Rulai can withstand it; everyone else must kneel before him, including the Buddha Son Shigong.

"We only have a handful of Buddhas here, such as Medicine Buddha, Peacock King, Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, who are capable of subduing these demon kings," the Buddha Son Shigong cursed, then whispered in Zhang Xuezhou's ear, "Where did you find so many demon kings?"

"I ran into them on the way, and they followed me," Zhang Xuezhou muttered to himself. "They want me to ask you for a life-saving token, like the one Kumarajiva had!"

"Where would I get that kind of badge?" Buddha Son Shigong gritted his teeth and said, "That badge wasn't issued by the Western Sect on their own initiative!"

"Passive?"

"I heard from a whistle that the cult leader had to give away the token, and only then did the Kumara Lineage, who didn't interfere with each other's territory, come into being!"

Zhang Xuezhou had previously thought that Kumarajiva and the Western Sect had a good relationship, but he didn't expect it to be so bad that the Western Sect had to send out the protection token out of desperation.

This kind of token cannot be obtained by simply asking for it, nor could the Buddha Son Shigong obtain it.

The two exchanged a glance, then looked at the demon king, who was only a few meters away.

The demon kings were somewhat at a loss, watching the two people discussing the matter with bated breath.

Although the demon kings knew that the life-saving tokens were likely to lead to their demise, if they didn't give a satisfactory explanation today, they would face considerable trouble.

Since these demon kings have already been defeated and offended the Buddha Son Shigong, they wouldn't mind killing Buddha Son Shigong to prevent him from bringing a large force to annihilate them.

"I should be fine keeping my life, but you..."

"I really can't produce that kind of badge. I'm just a Buddhist disciple, with no real power at the moment. I don't have the final say in matters within the sect!"

"Is there really no other way?"

"Non-Self become the leader, I won't give them any life-saving measures!"

The Buddha Son Shigong chanted softly.

He was clearly in a difficult position, even though it involved his life, but he simply couldn't do it.

Zhang Xuezhou overestimated his abilities. Even if he hadn't been beaten up, he still wouldn't have been able to produce anything.

"When will you become the leader?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice.

"We currently have a major threat named Rulai. His body is impervious to swords and blades, and Technique Method cannot penetrate Law Treasure," said the Buddha Son Shigong through gritted teeth. "He has cultivated for far longer than any of us. Only by breaking through to the Sole Self Realm of Selflessness can I fight him head-on. Only after winning will I have a one-in-three chance of becoming the sect leader!"

"The success rate is a bit low!"

"If you can take me to Western Kunlun this time, I definitely will..."

The Buddha Son Shigong gritted his teeth softly.

They currently have a high probability of being able to target the Rulai, but to ultimately prevail, at the very least, the Buddha Son Shigong needs to possess the cultivation of the Sole Self Realm.

Xiniu Hezhou is a barren land with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and the two sect leaders, being old, consume nearly 80% of Xiniu Hezhou's Heaven and Earth resources in order to maintain their health.

The resources that could fall into the hands of the Buddha Son Shigong were few, so they could only rely on their own efforts.

Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, whose cultivation had reached the Divine Ability Realm, the Buddha Son Shigong was so envious he almost vomited blood.

They put in a lot of effort and worked hard to cultivate themselves, but it couldn't compare to Zhang Xuezhou's ability to simply pile up resources.

Although cultivators like Zhang Xuezhou are certainly not as powerful as them, their cultivation level has risen to their level in a short period of time. If they could use the same resources, they would be even more powerful.

The Buddha Son Shigong, longed to go to Western Kunlun as soon as he thought about it.

But as he thought, if he actually took Buddha Son Shigong Zhang Xuezhou and fled for his life, he would have no chance of shaking off the pursuit of these demon kings.

If they want to go to Western Kunlun, they first need to solve the problem of the Demon King.

The Buddha Son Shigong all thought of rushing into the Mahabodhi Temple as quickly as possible through the Sacred Land, and then returning to the secret place to ask the high-ranking officials for help.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was better than being surrounded and attacked.

However, the Buddha Son Shigong was not confident that he could surround and kill the many demon kings. After all, these demon kings were not fools; they would have run far away long ago after he had gone back and forth for so long.

The most troublesome thing is that Zhang Xuezhou failed to fulfill his promise, and he might be beaten or even killed by the demon kings.

The brains of demons are different from those of humans. You can't expect demons to fully understand human reasoning. These demons don't have as many twists and turns in their minds; they are more straightforward.

Zhang Xuezhou promised these demons, so Zhang Xuezhou.

After the Buddha Son Shigong explained in a low voice, Zhang Xuezhou realized that the trouble was more than he had imagined.

When a scholar encounters a soldier, reason is useless; Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, encountered an even more unreasonable demon king, especially since he was using Western Sect guarantee as a pretext to deceive people.

"Everyone, I have already communicated with the Buddhist disciple!"

After discussing it for a while, Zhang Xuezhou jumped up.

"I have good news to share," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The Buddha has agreed to our request for the token!"

"If we get the warrant, the Western Sect won't kill us, and then we can do whatever we want from now on," the Roc Demon King said with great joy.

"Me too!"

Me too!

"This is really good news!"

Is there some bad news?

When the elephant demon Nusina translated a rough version, the demon kings were overjoyed, feeling that their long journey of thousands of miles had not been in vain.

Then, the Fox King, with his calm and collected mind, asked another question.

"There's bad news too," Zhang Xuezhou nodded gravely. "That is, Buddha Son Shigong's attempt to obtain the token from the Western Sect Rulai will sabotage his plans, and might even cause the sect leader to punish Buddha Son Shigong, making it difficult for him to leave!"

"Rulai is utterly despicable!"

"Rulai!"

"Can we kill this Buddha Son Rulai?"

"I've heard that the Buddha Son Rulai is not to be trifled with!"

"Even if they're not easy to mess with, we still have to mess with them. We finally got to know Buddha Son Shigong, and Buddha Son Shigong's even willing to give us a protection token!"

"That's right!"

"We won't even talk about killing the Buddha Son Rulai; even just binding Buddha Son Rulai so he doesn't get in the way would be good!"

Nusina translated again, which enraged the demons. They Yao Qi and cursed, some even rubbing their fists, ready to fight.

"Um?"

The Buddha Son Shigong looked up at the demons and listened to the demon kings shouting that they wanted to kill the Buddha Son Rulai. For a moment, he felt that these demon kings all looked handsome and refined, and even the injuries he had been beaten earlier did not hurt so much.
