Unreliable Information
The Buddha Son Shigong never associated with any demons.
Although the humans and demons of Xiniu Hezhou are not irreconcilable enemies, humans are humans and demons are demons. Even if one is as powerful as the Peacock King, one is still inferior to humans and can only serve as the mount of the two leaders of the West.
No Buddhist disciple would place a mount in the position of a religious leader, bodhisattva, or similar figure, even if the Peacock King is more powerful.
Humans only subdue demons, then use them as mounts or tools to aid in combat, never treating demons as equals.
Without equality, it is impossible to become friends.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou getting along so well with the demon kings, the Buddha Son Shigong's mind was filled with a surge of thoughts.
Having been influenced by the Western Sect, he naturally couldn't possibly be on friendly terms with these demon kings. However, if these demon kings could cause great trouble for the Buddha's disciple, that would be an excellent thing.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou use the Buddha's disciple as a scapegoat in just a few words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that things weren't too bad. This might cause the Buddha's disciple a lot of trouble, so the beating he suffered wasn't in vain.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Buddha isn't afraid of being beaten; let him bear the brunt for now!"
The demon kings were filled with righteous indignation, the Buddha Son Shigong had one idea, and Zhang Xuezhou had another.
His only hope at the moment was to postpone the matter and then have the Buddha Son Shigong send him to Western Kunlun.
As for what will happen in the future, he will be in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent while these demon kings are in the Western Continent. They will never be able to connect in this lifetime, and there is no chance that he will be found by these demon kings.
If this is left to drag on, the matter will eventually pass.
"Buddha Son Shigong, where is Tathagata? Could you please summon him as well?" asked the King of Ten Thousand Foxes.
"The Buddha went to the East..."
"The Buddha's disciple is currently practicing a Secret Method. He went to the east, but he doesn't know exactly where in the east. He is also planning to go to the east to find the Buddha's disciple to see if they can negotiate. If they can negotiate and get a guarantee to do something, that would be best. If not, they will have to seek other methods!"
Just as Buddha Son Shigong was about to say that Tathagata Fozi had taken Wu Chao to the Eastern Land to seek the secret scriptures of the Yin-Yang School, he was quickly interrupted by Zhang Xuezhou.
When the elephant demon Nuxina translated again, the demon kings couldn't help but grumble that they also wanted to go east to cause trouble for the Buddha's son.
"Let's go, let's go find the Buddha's disciple in the east!"
If one wishes to travel to the Kunlun Sacred Land, one must inevitably head east.
After Zhang Xuezhou's efforts, the schedule finally returned to normal.
A white horse and a red horse were led out, and Zhang Xuezhou changed his mount.
The Buddha Son Shigong touched the blood-stained back of his robe, then lay down on the horse's back. He was both saddened and delighted, his emotions indescribable.
In short, he was one step closer to the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of Western Kunlun.
Once the demon kings have each gone to different locations in the east to search, this group of demon kings will have to disband.
The Buddha Son Shigong couldn't withstand being surrounded and beaten by a bunch of demon kings, but as long as these demon kings were scattered, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take down one or two. For example, without coordination, someone like the demon Nuxina would be a pure target and could be killed by him after dozens of rounds.
He mentally calculated his battles with various demon kings, while also pondering Zhang Xuezhou's Technique Method for suppressing and healing.
"With his body injured, how could the Buddha Son Shigong, possibly negotiate with the Buddha's disciple?"
Occasionally, during their journey, the King of Ten Thousand Foxes would inquire about the condition of the Buddha Son Shigong, out of concern.
But the fact that Buddha Son Shigong eastward is undeniable. Apart from the fact that the other party's body is currently a bit weak, King Wanhu cannot think of any other illogical reason.
"Besides persuading the Buddha's disciple, the Buddhist disciple also possesses a trump card of Divine Ability power. As long as you can subdue the Buddha's disciple, he will surely annihilate him with a single Divine Ability strike," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The Western Sect do not shy away from fighting, so you can rest assured that the Buddha Son Shigong will never let go of any opportunity to kill the Buddha's disciple!"
"If we could kill the Tathagata, that... that would truly be wonderful!"
Western Sect have their own rules and regulations, which maintain a balance between the strength and weakness of their followers.
Not only could the Buddha Son Shigong, not defeat the Buddha's disciple, but he also could not challenge the Buddha's disciple at will. However, if the Buddha's disciple was bound and restrained by the demons, there was nothing he could say about being inferior in skill.
He didn't need to kill the Buddha's disciple outright; he could simply pretend to save the Buddha's disciple and then deflect the attack with his Divine Ability, thus eliminating a major threat.
Just thinking about it from a slightly negative perspective Buddha Son Shigong feel a little pleased. He even imagined how he would handle such a situation.
"Brothers, let's get moving!"
"We must find the Buddha!"
"Once we get rid of this eyesore, we'll have the security detail in our hands!"
"Buddha Son Shigong said he would do it himself and wouldn't let us bear the reputation of killing a disciple of the Western Sect!"
"We'll just beat him up and tie him up. It's not hard to do!"
"This is easy to discuss!"
Apart from the Fox King, who was a bit more complicated, the other demon kings didn't have any twists and turns in their minds.
Once the King of Ten Thousand Foxes had made up his mind, all the demon kings agreed, and for a moment they pondered how to subdue the Buddha after their encounter.
How many demon kings are there in our Xiniu Hezhou?
"Probably a few hundred to a thousand!"
Zhang Xuezhou chatted quietly with the Buddha Son Shigong.
At this point, things were starting to take a general direction, and Zhang Xuezhou inquired about the situation on this unfamiliar land.
The sheer number of monsters in Xiniu Hezhou was beyond Zhang Xuezhou's ability to even begin to describe.
While not all of the demon kings have attained sainthood, they are mostly at or around the Divine Ability Realm. With such a vast number of demon kings, plus the lesser demons, the number of demons in this land is terrifyingly large.
If many demon kings gather together, it would be enough to establish a demon dynasty or Sacred Land for the Demon Race.
"These demon kings are a disorganized mess, with no top-tier or powerful ones among them," the Buddha Son Shigong said in a low voice. "Don't be fooled by my being ganged up on and beaten; this kind of gathering of demon kings is actually very rare!"
"Right?"
"The demons of the Eastern Land have lineages and are governed by laws, while the demons of the West each rely on their own demonic Divine Ability and are Qi Ingestion anyone else, each establishing their own territory as king!"
Why don't you Western Sect do anything about these demons?
"Firstly, we need to give some face to certain Sacred Land; secondly, the rewards for killing the Demon King are too meager; and thirdly..."
The Buddha Son Shigong did not continue speaking.
The Heavenly Court's many top-tier demons are no longer significant, and top demon kings like Zhu Jiuyin have not yet taken control of Xiniu Hezhou. However, the Western Sect's failure to eradicate demon kings in various regions seems to have deeper reasons.
"There are some things I need to ask the leader, or I'll only know when I become the leader," the Buddha Son Shigong said in a low voice. "I have some unreliable information that seems to suggest the demon has a top-tier backer, and if he goes too far, he'll face retaliation!"
"There aren't many demons left in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent, and we haven't seen any demon kings causing trouble," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Who knows when they'll be in trouble?" the Buddha Son Shigong muttered. "It's better to be safe than sorry. As long as these demons aren't in the way, we can let them pass!"
Buddha Son Shigong mentioned that he would encounter many demon kings on his journey to the Western Kunlun Holy Land, but these demon kings were disorganized and incompetent, Buddha Son Shigong would have no problem passing through.
This put Zhang Xuezhou at ease.
However, the mention by the Buddha Son Shigong that the demon had a top-tier powerful backer made Zhang Xuezhou think for a long time.
Excluding top-tier demons like the Venerable One and the Nine Spirits Primal Sage, and also eliminating powerful demons in the Western Kunlun who were not involved in affairs, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there seemed to be no truly top-tier demons in the world. If a sect leader were to be so cautious, the sheer power of such a demon would be unimaginable.
"Um?"
When Zhang Xuezhou finally came to his senses, he suddenly remembered the 'white' under Feng Xize.
