Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 251 - 151: The Arrogant Three Old Demons

A swig of strong liquor went down, and the green-furred lion sitting above glanced indifferently at the Arhat, saying, "Speak, what is it!"

The Arhat felt the oppressive aura lessen significantly, finally able to speak, he said respectfully, "I am here on the orders of the Buddha, to notify you three to quickly leave the Western Heaven path."

The green-furred lion frowned tightly and said, "He was the one who asked us to come here originally, and now he is the one telling us to leave, what sense does that make?"

The Arhat said, "Plans have changed. This Western Heaven path has been trespassed by a fake monk who popped up from nowhere, pretending to be Tang Sanzang and seeking to obtain the True Scriptures. This monk is extremely powerful, having killed who knows how many demons along the way... and he has a hobby, he specializes in eating big demons."

At this, the Arhat glanced cautiously at the three elder demons.

Sure enough, once these words were spoken, the three elder demons flew into a towering rage!

The old elephant with yellow tusks slammed his fist on the table, shattering the cup, and shouted angrily, "He specializes in eating big demons? Haha... The Buddha must be afraid that we brothers will be eaten! He really looks down on us too much!"

The Arhat hastily offered a placating smile and said, "Your Majesty, it’s not about looking down on anyone, rather, that monk is truly unrivaled in strength, absolutely terrifying. Even the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, and the Six-Eared Macaque have been suppressed single-handedly by him, meekly serving as his minions."

The old elephant with yellow tusks spat disdainfully and said, "A couple of monkeys that have yet to mature, what are they worth?"

Though he spoke nonchalantly, his eyes became somewhat grave.

Obviously, the stature of these two monkeys was not as negligible as he claimed.

That was when the Golden Winged Great Peng chuckled, "I know that Sun Wukong, just a wild monkey that sprang out of a rock, nothing remarkable. I was also there when the Buddha subdued him... too weak!"

Disparagingly, the Great Peng declared, "If I wanted, I could capture that monkey at any moment and knead him into a ball to perform for everyone tricks like smashing boulders against a chest or the Golden Spear Throat Lock."

Hearing this monkey-juggling trick, the other two elder demons immediately laughed.

The green-furred lion said, "Longbrows, if it’s just about this matter you speak of, you may leave.

How could we not know about the ruckus that baldy is causing on the Western Heaven path?

Regardless of how much others boast about how formidable he is, we brothers, have no fear!"

The old elephant with yellow tusks quickly followed up, "Indeed, no fear!"

The Arhat gave a wry smile and said, "Your Majesties, how much do you really know about him? Would you like me to enlighten you further?"

The green-furred lion snorted coldly, "Of course, I understand. His killing of Manjushri, his blackmailing of the three Bodhisattvas, his battle against Zhenyuanzi, we are all aware. But so what?

During the great war of gods, I had fought against Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun too. Had it not been for that time... Anyway, no fear!

As for Zhenyuanzi, they say he is the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals, but he has always been stuck in the Primordial Realm, not even as strong as my third brother, that’s all there is to it."

The old elephant with yellow tusks said, "I heard that during a major battle, Zhenyuanzi and that baldy fought deep into the starry sky for a long time before it ended. I reckon, that baldy’s strength must also be in the Primordial Realm... We three are at this realm too. Three against one, what is there to fear?"

The Golden Winged Great Peng said with an easy smile, "At first, we agreed to the Buddha; we would not kill Tang Sanzang, just put on a big show to scare him. Now... since it’s a fake, we really don’t mind seeing if this fake Tang Sanzang’s flesh tastes any good!"

Seeing such an attitude from the three, the Arhat knew further persuasion was futile, and could only bring his hands together in prayer, saying, "Amitabha, your Majesties, I shall take my leave now."

Having said that, the Arhat transformed into a beam of golden light and disappeared without a trace.

The Arhat returned to Mount Meru and went straight to seek the Buddha. Experience new stories on novelbuddy

Upon entering, the Long-browed Arhat said, "Buddha, the three refuse to return, insisting on battling with Tang Sanzang."

The Tathagata seemed not at all surprised, nodding slightly, "Originally, I had them descend to the world to act as demons in coordination with others, a grand act for the journey for the True Scriptures. They were meant to play the part of demons, not to actually become them. As it stands, the three have become old demons over the years, consuming lives within a million li... wrapped in karmic forces, they were fated to face this tribulation.

However, since they hail from our Mount Meru, we must at least notify them.

Now that they have severed their final lifeline, let them be."

Upon hearing this, the Long-browed Arhat’s countenance immediately eased, clearly disapproving of the old demons’ actions but saying little due to their high status.

Now that the Tathagata had spoken, letting them meet their demise was naturally the best result, in accordance with the Heavenly Dao and the cycle of rebirth.

Manjushri stepped forward and said, "Buddha, the Golden Winged Great Peng is your maternal uncle... If we do not intervene, is that not..."

The Tathagata glanced at him and said, "Would you like to intervene?"

Manjushri was immediately at a loss. Him, intervene?

How would he intervene?

The Golden Winged Great Peng possessed profound and terrifying power, holding the Yin-Yang Qi Pot, and was exceedingly mighty. It was only through the Ancient Buddha Dipankara’s personal effort that he was subdued and turned into a Dharma-protecting King of Buddhism. How could he, Manjushri, intervene with such a being?

The other two, the Green-haired Lion and the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant, were no ordinary beings either, both disciples of the Sect of Cut Teachings. Had it not been for the encirclement of numerous Saints in the Array of Ten Thousand Immortals against the Sect of Cut Teachings, the Coiled-horn Immortal and the Elephant Immortal would not have become the Buddha’s mounts. After all, these two old demons were beings of the same rank as the Bodhisattvas, and in single combat, the outcome would be uncertain.

As for the bald one on the other side, that was even less manageable.

Instantly, Manjushri forced a chuckle: "I wish them good fortune!"

...

Meanwhile, after the Arhat left, the three old demons looked at each other and saw the smile in each other’s eyes.

The Green-haired Lion said, "Since the Western religion was renamed Buddhism, it seems to be thriving, yet it deteriorates day by day. It is subservient to Heaven, a fate they cannot defy. But to have a baldy come and almost ruin our grand plan of millennia, it is truly laughable."

"Big brother is right," said the Yellow-fanged Old Elephant, "the Buddhism of today truly is laughable. What is there to fear about an unknown baldy? If he doesn’t come, then all the better, but if he does, watch me twist off his head and kick it around like a ball!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng also nodded, "Second brother is right, if the baldy doesn’t come, so be it; if he does, we’ll cook him!"

With that, the three continued to raise their cups, drinking and eating meat!

Simultaneously, Zhu Ganglie had also arrived in front of the Lion Camel Ridge, where he saw a stone stele halfway up the mountain drenched with human blood, with the inscription: "Eight Hundred Li of Lion Camel Ridge!"

Beneath it was another line in smaller writing: "Skulls pile the Ridge, bones like a forest, gods and Buddha retreat, demons and ghosts lurk!"

Zhu Ganglie climbed up a large tree to look around and saw that the mountain snaked and stretched at length, its side resembling a giant dragon. Seen from above, it was like an eight-clawed dragon, an octopus, and somewhat like a great cross with its hair splayed open, extending to the very edges of heaven and earth.
