Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 117: Desiring to Show Holiness in Front of Others

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Desiring to Show Holiness in Front of Others

Having put on the guise of the Buddhist faith, the subsequent matters became much easier.

All he needed to do was have everyone believe in Jiang Chen’s Buddhist Law, that he possessed demon-slaying and demon-suppression abilities, then he could almost start his preaching plan.

As for how to make everyone believe?

That was even more simple - just manifest divinity in public.

As long as everyone witnessed the power of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, even if Jiang Chen did not speak, there would be people crying and begging for him to impart his Divine Ability.

That’s just how people are - what’s easily gained is often overlooked, only things that are hard-earned will be highly valued.

So, if Jiang Chen were to preach, he definitely could not be proactive. He needed to maintain a lofty image and only reluctantly bestow the Divine Ability after the crowd’s heartfelt begging.

Having roughly outlined the plan, Jiang Chen began to act. He was seen to be moving swiftly, scurrying round and about the Xiniuhe Continent.

He was looking for demons, man-eating demons. Preferably, ones that had just breached the human city walls and intended to feast on humans.

Imagine, the Human Race, whose homes were destroyed, about to be turned into food for the Demon Clan, how desperate they must be.

If, at that moment, Jiang Chen appeared, using unparalleled means to suppress and eliminate the demons, saving the masses from dire straits, his image would be deeply imprinted in the hearts of the hopeful Human Race.

That’s what it means to manifest divinity in public.

At that time, all Jiang Chen needed to do was to wave the flag of Buddhism high, wouldn’t preaching then be a piece of cake?

...

Having wandered through Xiniuhe Continent for several months, Jiang Chen had encountered quite a few man-eating demons and evil spirits. However, they were all attacking small villages - the scale was too small and fell far short of the conditions Jiang Chen required to publicly display his divinity.

So, Jiang Chen simply killed them off casually, and continued to amble aimlessly around the Xiniuhe Continent.

One day, Jiang Chen happened upon a large city, intending to rest and also sample some of the unique local delicacies.

However, as soon as he landed, he encountered a major demon siege of the city.

Wow!

Jiang Chen was excited and quickly hid, lurking in the shadows, waiting for when the city’s practitioners couldn’t hold on. Then, he could step in and help, realizing his plan of displaying his divinity in public.

Normally, big cities would definitely have Buddhist practitioners stationed in them, in case of foreign aggressions. Even though the Human Race’s situation was not promising, it’s not an easy task for the Demon Clan to attack a large city.

Yet, this time, the situation was different.

This was because the Demon Clan who arrived were highly powerful. There were hundreds at the very least, each one not inferior to the Earth Immortal Realm, and leading the lot were three Golden Immortal Realm Great Demons.

These Demon Soldiers were outfitted in high-quality equipment and moved uniformly, highly trained. Moreover, the demonic aura on them was extremely pure, clearly having a lineage.

These were the underlings of Bull Demon King!

Don’t question how Jiang Chen knew, the answer simply was that he saw the leading great demon to be a Bull Demon. The bulls of Xiniuhe Continent, how could they not be related to the Bull Demon King?

While still some distance away from the city, the three great demons started chatting. One of them, a Ram Demon, said,

"Tell me, what’s so good about the Heaven Court? The Seven Kings abandoned their great positions as Demon Kings to serve in the Heaven Court, it truly boggles the mind."

The Horse Demon beside the Ram Demon complained, "Indeed, indeed. If the Seven Kings hadn’t insisted on venturing to the Heaven Court, the other Great Kings wouldn’t have been driven into exile. Maybe we’re still enjoying ourselves in the Eastern Sea."

The leading Bull Demon frowned upon hearing the ramblings of the two demons and said with slight displeasure, "Enough of that chatter, the matters of the Great Kings are not for us to discuss."

"If the Great Kings heard your complaints, they would certainly use you to offer a tooth sacrifice."

Hearing this, both the Horse and Ram Demon seemed to recall something terrifying, their faces turning scared and immediately they shut their mouths, walking silently towards the human city.

Tsk, so Sun Wukong has gone to Heaven Court to become Stable Manager? The injuries on him healed pretty quickly, I thought that he would have to rest for at least a hundred or so years to recover."

"The Buddhists do spare nothing for the monkey!"

Jiang Chen, who had been closely following behind the three demons, couldn’t help but shake his head after listening to their conversation.

Sun Wukong’s injuries were severe, with half his body gone. If it were someone else, recovery would take at least tens of years.

But he managed to bounce back in just a few days time, running eagerly to Heaven Court to tend horses.

Clearly, it was a result of the Buddhists’ actions. Otherwise, the injuries caused by the righteous aura and the Innate Coldness couldn’t have been healed so easily, right?

At this time, Sun Wukong was being treated like a favored son by the Buddhists, enough to engender envy in others.

...

After a short walk, the three demons arrived outside the human city. The lead Bull Demon looked around and said, "Everything’s good about the Eastern Sea except how brutal the humans there are, they actually eat demons."

"What kind of world is this, it’s simply outrageous."

"It has always been demons eating humans, when did it become the humans eating demons?"

"They are truly a bunch of brutal creatures."

"The humans in Xiniuhe Continent are better, they don’t know how to resist."

Saying this, the Bull Demon abruptly turned back, glaring fearsomely at the demon horde and yelled, "Boys, put on a good show later, try to capture the city as quickly as possible. I’ve been eating fish in the Eastern Sea until I reek of fish."

"As soon as the city is captured, I must have a good feast. Amongst all creatures, human meat tastes the best."

As he talked, the Bull Demon seemed to have made himself hungry, and couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, licking his lips which made him look disgustingly horrifying.

"Little ones, follow me and kill!"

His round, bulging eyes wide open, the Bull Demon waved his long spear, issuing the attack order.

"Charge!"

Receiving orders, the lesser demons immediately brandished their weapons and charged forward.

Instantly, an overwhelming demonic aura surged forth like incoming tidal waves rushing at the human city in front.

"Enemy attack..."

Seeing the Demon Clan invasion, the Buddhist practitioners inside the city emerged, some maintaining the battle formation, while others guarded the city walls, they all looked prepared for a tough battle.

The reaction was indeed quick, but their strength was just too weak. The huge city only had a single Mysterious Immortal stationed, how could they resist the Demon Clan’s invasion?

Roar!

A loud roar erupted from the Bull Demon and the magnificent Buddha’s Light that had just risen within the city was immediately shattered.

The Buddha’s Light was formed from the city’s defensive array. The shattering of the Buddha’s Light indicated that the city’s defensive array was broken. The city’s populace was now fully exposed to the Demon Clan’s slaughter.

"Kill!"

In a blink of an eye, the Demon Soldiers breached the city, about to direct their slaughter blades at innocent civilians.
