Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#766 - Shut up, you evil disciple, it's all because of you

For a fleeting moment, the Tathagata Buddha truly wanted to rush over, grab Chu Hao, and angrily scold him,

"Do you even have a conscience?!"

"Tell me, what do you call 'working'! Is your 'work' to come and ransack homes and exterminate families, taking advantage of the chaos?!"

"You killed so many people in my Defiled World, and you still want me to pay you, a whole million sets of top-grade magical artifacts?!"

"My entire Western Paradise couldn't produce ten thousand sets of that stuff in an entire epoch!"

"And you also want twenty thousand drops of meritous divine water? I only get thirty thousand drops of meritous divine water in ten epochs! Are you trying to bleed me dry?!"

The Tathagata Buddha's rage was almost about to erupt.

He was about to go mad!

This is a sin! I don't want to be this Buddha anymore!

Amitabha, standing beside him, was also momentarily unable to accept the cruel reality, and could only raise his empty neck, looking forlorn.

But then, Amitabha suddenly transmitted a message to the Tathagata Buddha:

"One million sets, acceptable!... But, tell him that this includes the price of restoring the Journey to the West, and not a single bit more!"

The Tathagata Buddha's eyes widened as he looked at Amitabha.

"Teacher, this... this isn't right! Our Western Paradise..."

"Silence, you wicked disciple! Isn't it because of you that things have fallen to this irreparable state?!"

Amitabha interrupted the Tathagata Buddha's words very impolitely, his words full of blame.

The Tathagata Buddha's eyes widened slightly, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Blame me?

The Tathagata Buddha originally thought that he was already Teflon, but he didn't expect that Amitabha, who hadn't said a word the entire time, could still shift the blame onto him!

The Tathagata Buddha was enduring the anger of the Defiled World and the Hall of Law Enforcement, and now he also had to endure Amitabha's resentment.

At this moment, a small change occurred in the Tathagata Buddha's mentality.

Of course, the Tathagata Buddha was also wise.

In fact, things weren't as aggrieved as he imagined. Anyway, everything that was being compensated was from the Western Paradise. As long as he didn't care about the Western Paradise, then the Tathagata Buddha wouldn't feel so aggrieved.

Moreover, the Tathagata Buddha also knew Amitabha's position.

As a Sage, he established the Western Sect. He didn't really care about all the magical treasures and Buddhas of the Western Paradise.

Sages only ever look at merit.

All the magical treasures, all the Buddhas and Arhats, Amitabha didn't really care about.

It wasn't that he didn't know what a million sets of top-grade magical artifacts meant.

If that were given to the Western Paradise, it could at least create a force with a basic strength stronger than the Hall of Law Enforcement.

And if it were given to the Hall of Law Enforcement, the strength of the Hall of Law Enforcement within the Three Realms would skyrocket, almost to the point of being unstoppable.

Amitabha knew all of this, so he didn't care.

Because he was carefree outside the Three Realms, he only needed the Western Sect to generate merit for him. This was the purpose of his creation of the Western Sect, and nothing else.

Therefore, no matter what was said or what was paid, as long as the Journey to the West could proceed smoothly and end quickly, Amitabha could agree.

Therefore, Amitabha was wholeheartedly focused on restoring the Journey to the West as quickly as possible, even at the expense of wrongly accusing the Tathagata Buddha and the Defiled World.

Of course, perhaps other thoughts were involved in this, but what Amitabha sought was the merit brought by the Journey to the West, and this would never change.

The Tathagata Buddha took a deep breath. There was no other way; he was living under someone else's roof.

Even if the Tathagata Buddha was willing to rack his brains for the Western Paradise, he could only obediently give up this huge fortune.

He would shift all his work focus to the Journey to the West, regardless of cost, regardless of humiliation. It could only be so.

Everything was for the Teacher!

The Tathagata Buddha sighed, turned his head to look at Chu Hao, and said in a deep voice:

"Prison God Chu Hao, listen well! My Buddha is merciful and willing to value harmony, and will not pursue the past!"

"One million sets of magical artifacts can be given to you, and twenty thousand drops of meritous divine water can also be given to you! But, you must restore the Journey to the West and restart it!"

"This is our bottom line in the Western Paradise, and my Western Paradise will never budge!"

When the Tathagata Buddha humiliatingly surrendered, Ksitigarbha was almost suspicious that he had misheard. He turned his head and looked at the Tathagata Buddha in astonishment.

So, does that mean all our people died for nothing?

Not only did they die for nothing, but now the Western Paradise has to pay the Hall of Law Enforcement a large reward, rewarding them for killing so many people in our Defiled World?!

Are we really going to be grateful to the Hall of Law Enforcement for killing so many Ksitigarbhas, and send gifts with smiles?

I'm going to explode right here!

It wasn't just Ksitigarbha who felt that his worldview had been refreshed; even the people in the Hall of Law Enforcement were stunned.

The Black Bear Spirit scratched his head, his face full of astonishment: "I just said it casually..."

The Yellow-haired Weasel swallowed.

"The boss took it seriously! Not only did he take it seriously, but he also did it, making the Western Paradise apologize and gratefully send us away thousands of miles away?"

"Boss is mighty!"

The people in the Hall of Law Enforcement felt an incredible feeling from the inside out.

It was a refreshing as eating a watermelon in the middle of summer!

So refreshing that they were about to take off!

Especially Nezha and Bi Fang, etc., the grievances that had been pent up in their hearts for days were completely relieved at this moment!

That day, the Hall of Law Enforcement was incited to riot, and the entire Zhiyuan Tongyuan Cave was stained red with blood. At that time, everyone felt extremely aggrieved.

Especially after knowing that this was the work of the Defiled World, they felt even more uncomfortable.

At that time, they still felt that they couldn't get revenge. After all, the Defiled World was so tyrannical, and the Hall of Law Enforcement had just been built, so it was impossible to take revenge with their own hands.

However, all of this was overturned!

Chu Hao was furious and directly led the Hall of Law Enforcement to kill the Defiled World. In front of the two Buddhas and Ksitigarbha, he killed more than two million Ksitigarbhas on the spot!

He even slaughtered half of their remaining four Ksitigarbha Envoys!

Not only that, but he also demanded appearance fees from them, and it actually worked!

One million sets of top-grade magical artifacts is already the most awesome weapon below the Innate Spiritual Treasure. Generally speaking, only True Immortals are worthy of owning it.

It's not uncommon for even many Golden Immortals to still use top-grade magical artifacts.

And the Hall of Law Enforcement should only have about 800,000 people left now.

That is to say, the magical artifacts that were originally standard for Golden Immortals are now available to everyone. The Hall of Law Enforcement now has top-grade magical artifacts for everyone!

The comfort in the hearts of the people in the Hall of Law Enforcement is naturally indescribable.

Chu Hao also knew that he couldn't push his luck too far. It wasn't because he had a change of heart, but because he couldn't fleece them all at once.

If you touch the bottom line, you have to know how to retreat.

Only then can you touch a deeper bottom line next time.

The foot-in-the-door effect is something Chu Hao is familiar with.

The corners of Chu Hao's mouth raised in a sinister smile, which disappeared in a flash, but he looked at the Tathagata Buddha with a serious face and said:

"Okay! I promise to help you restore the Journey to the West!"

Chu Hao smiled slyly in his heart, hehe...
