Chapter 207 Thousand-Headed Asura King
The Western Buddhist world.
A man stepped forward and said respectfully, "Amitabha, my Buddha, all the people we arranged in the underworld have entered nirvana, and their Buddha lamps have all gone out."
"Amitabha, good, good."
For a moment, countless Buddhist chants with a hint of compassion rang out in the Xitian Buddhist Temple.
"Who dares to kill a member of our Buddhist sect? The underworld has already fallen into our grasp. How could this happen?"
"That useless Western Ghost Emperor, my Buddhist sect has cleared most of the obstacles for him, but he can't even handle this little thing. He is really incompetent."
"With just this little ability, you dare to spy on the position of the King of Fengdu. You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
"Buddha, what should we do next? Should we send someone to explore the underworld again?"
Xitian Buddha beads looked at the person in front of him with a pair of eyes that contained endless Buddhist mysteries, and slowly said: "You can't do this. The previous battle has already consumed a lot of our Buddhist foundation. We can't cause any more trouble in the short term. We should recuperate and then plan for the prosperity of Buddhism in the future."
"Amitabha, there is no need for us to personally take action on this matter. The Shura Clan has always coveted the location of the underworld. Why not let them go and explore the underworld for us?"
"Amitabha, good."
On the other hand, the underworld is seriously short of manpower, and there are not enough ghost messengers to go out and collect souls.
There was also a vacancy in the position of Yama Luo. Lai Yang pondered for a while and finally asked someone to contact the Wu clan.
Let all the members of the Wu clan go into the underworld to help.
Previously, the underworld was infiltrated by Buddhist forces, and Goddess Wu Tu did not dare to let the Wu clan enter the underworld, for fear that the Wu clan would be plotted against by Buddhism again.
Now that Buddhism’s influence in the underworld has been eradicated, there is no need to worry anymore.
Furthermore, the Witch Clan has become powerful now, but it has also caused countless people to be wary and fearful, and they are surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards. It would also be beneficial for the Witch Clan to take this opportunity to enter the underworld.
In the underworld, because of the relationship with Wu Tu Niangniang, other ghosts dare not make things difficult for them.
Upon hearing that Lai Yang wanted to let the witch clan enter the underworld, the twelve ancestor witches discussed it for a while and then agreed.
However, in order to conceal their tracks, the Witch Clan did not mobilize a large force, but instead quietly carried out the transfer operation in secret.
Transfer in batches, giving priority to the talented members of the tribe, followed by the old, young and women.
Under the cover of the treasure of the underworld, everything is going on quietly. Even a powerful sect like Buddhism cannot deduce any clues.
Asura tribe.
The Thousand-Headed Asura King looked ferocious and terrifying. He lowered his head and looked at the tiny Buddhist disciple in front of him with three parts of disgust and three parts of contempt.
The purifying aura of Buddhism on the other person made him feel uncomfortable.
The Shuras are warlike and brutal, with a strong sense of hostility. They are born with karma and have to go through countless baptisms of slaughter.
Forces like Buddhism are inherently incompatible with each other.
If it weren't for the suppression of the Thousand-Headed Asura King, I'm afraid that some of the Asuras would have stepped forward and torn the monk in front of them into pieces.
“…Amitabha, I have conveyed the message that Buddha asked me to convey to you. Please make your own decision. I will take my leave now.”
Feeling the undisguised malice and murderous intent coming from all around him, the Buddhist disciple was terrified. Only by constantly chanting the meditation mantra in his heart could he barely keep himself sane and calm, and not fall into a crazy and bloodthirsty mood.
"Now that you have finished speaking, you are of no use to me." The Thousand-Headed Asura King looked at the Buddhist disciples coldly and waved his hand.
Seeing this, the Shura clan, who had been ready to take action, immediately pounced on the Buddhist disciples.
The Buddhist disciple's face turned pale and he was terrified. Facing the fear of death, he could no longer maintain his outward composure and he collapsed to the ground.
"No, you can't kill me. I am a Buddhist. Stop it. No! No! Help, let me go! Ahhhh!!!"
Amidst a series of shrill and creepy screams, the disciple sent by the Buddhist sect to deliver the message was immediately cut into pieces by the Shura tribe, leaving no intact body.
From the moment he stepped into the Shura's territory, he was destined to never leave the Shura alive.
If I hadn't wanted to hear what he wanted to say, he would have died the moment he stepped into the Shura tribe's territory.
"Your Majesty, I think there might be something fishy about this matter. With the sinister and cunning style of those Buddhists, how could they give such a big piece of fat meat of the underworld to our Shura clan for free? The Buddhists deliberately let the underworld fall, and the news of the injured and sleeping person told us. I suspect they want to use our Shura clan to find out the truth about the underworld. If we send troops to attack the underworld, even if we succeed in the end, it might be to help others." The confidant of the Thousand-Headed Shura King spoke.
"Humph, how could this king not know the calculations of those thieves in the Buddhist sect? Do they really think that my Shura clan is so easy to use?"
The Thousand-Headed Asura King snorted coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"King, what should we do?"
"Send someone to the underworld to investigate the situation first. Don't fight with the people in the underworld rashly. Report any situation truthfully and then make the next plan."
The Thousand-Headed Asura King did not want to become a knife in the hands of Buddhism, but if it was true as they said, the underworld had become empty and extremely weak, he would not mind swallowing this piece of fat meat.
If you can successfully seize the underworld, even if you cannot take it over in the end, you can still gain a lot of benefits from it.
But the most crucial point is that the person was really injured and fell into a deep sleep as the Buddhists said. Otherwise, once the person who controls the tunnel in the underworld wakes up, their Shura clan will probably suffer a devastating disaster when they invade the underworld.
Even though the Thousand-Headed Shura King boasted that he was invincible in the realm of the Immortal Emperor, he did not dare to fight against an authentic supreme being.
In the eyes of the Supreme Lord of Tao, even the peak Immortal Emperor is just like an ant who can be killed with a wave of his hand.
Strictly speaking, although they are both Immortal Emperors, their strengths are no longer in the same dimension.
"yes."
On the other hand, the reconstruction of the underworld is in full swing.
There are always some scoundrels who take this opportunity to disrupt the order of the underworld and try to gain benefits.
Lai Yang will not tolerate them. Anyone who attempts to harm the underworld will be killed!
On this day, strong men from the Chu family descended on the underworld, led by Chu Xiao.
During this time, Lai Yang sent a message to the Chu family, telling them what he was doing at the moment and that he could not go back for the time being.
So, Chu Xiao came here in person with his people.
Seeing this, the ghost guarding the gate of hell suddenly became nervous and shouted: "The hell ahead, no one is allowed to approach, leave quickly!"
"I am Chu Xiao, the young master of the Chu family. Today, I heard that the underworld is in trouble, so I specially sent people from my clan to help the underworld and do my best."
Chu Xiao ignored the ghost's scolding. His voice, wrapped in immortal power, spread out and echoed in every corner of the underworld.
Feeling the powerful imperial power of Chu Xiao, the strong men in the underworld were immediately alarmed.
Faced with an Immortal Emperor, they did not dare to be negligent.
The figure of the Eastern Ghost Emperor suddenly appeared in front of the gate of hell, looking at the people of the Chu family with a vigilant expression.
"We in the underworld appreciate your kindness, but the underworld is in a time of trouble right now, so we are sorry that we cannot receive outsiders. Please return the way you came."
At this moment, a voice came from the depths of the underworld: "Let them in, the Chu family is my friend, don't worry."
Chu Xiao immediately recognized that it was Lai Yang's voice.
The Eastern Ghost Emperor was slightly stunned, then his tough attitude softened and became somewhat friendly.
"So you are friends of Lord Fengdu. Please come in, and don't be polite."
"Thank you." Chu Xiao bowed politely.
"I have something else to do, so I won't entertain you." After saying this, the Eastern Ghost Emperor looked at the ghost guarding the gate and said, "Take them in."
"Yes, Lord Ghost Emperor." The ghost hurriedly shouted nervously, "Everyone come in."
In this way, with the help of Lai Yang, Chu Xiao and others successfully entered the underworld.
Soon, Chu Xiao and others saw Lai Yang who was busy.
On the desk in front of him, all kinds of things were piled up like a mountain, almost suffocating him.
With higher status and power comes more obligations and troubles.
"Master, are you okay?" Chu Xiao called out tentatively.
"Do I look fine to you? The underworld is being rebuilt now, and there is a shortage of manpower in various places. There are also these documents piled higher than the mountain, which makes my head hurt." Lai Yang sighed helplessly and looked up at Chu Xiao. "You came at the right time, just in time to share some of the pressure with me."
"By the way, how is Ruyan doing in the Chu family?" Lai Yang asked casually.
"Master's wife is in the process of a breakthrough, so she didn't come with us this time. She will probably come after she completes the breakthrough." Chu Xiao replied.
"Well, this King of Fengdu is not even a dog. If I hadn't promised fellow Taoist Wu Tu to help her rebuild the underworld, I would have resigned after I was done with this. Whoever wants to take over can take over."
Seeing Lai Yang's expression of despair, Chu Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh.
It was the first time he saw Lai Yang show such an expression.
Yes, considering my master's character of being lazy and idle, it is understandable that he can't stand such complicated work.
"Master, if there's anything we can do to help, just let me know. If we're short of manpower, I can ask the family to send some people over to help."
“That’s a good feeling.”
Lai Yang was not polite to Chu Xiao and immediately arranged for everyone in the Chu family to join the reconstruction work.
With the addition of the Witch Clan, and now with the addition of the Immortal Emperor Chu Xiao, as well as a group of experts from the Chu family, the restoration of order in the underworld will be much faster.
Due to the battle between the underworld and Buddhism, mainly affected by the battle between Wu Tu Niangniang and the two Buddhist emperors, most of the underworld collapsed, and the laws and space were in chaos. It is not an easy task to complete the repair, and it takes a lot of time.
Destruction takes only a moment, but reconstruction requires ten thousand times more effort.
Suddenly, a ghost messenger entered Lai Yang's work area and said, "Lord Fengdu, we found spies from the Shura tribe nearby. They seem to be sneaking around and have bad intentions. Should we send troops to capture them?"
"The Shura tribe?"
Lai Yang was slightly stunned. Wasn't the Shura clan the ally that formed the previous alliance with the Witch clan, but the ally that didn't even show up when the danger came?
I heard that the Shuras are warlike, bloodthirsty and cruel by nature. Are they eyeing the underworld just to get a piece of the pie?
Lai Yang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said calmly: "Catch them and interrogate them clearly."
"Yes, sir." The ghost responded and left quickly.
Soon, under the leadership of a judge from the Golden Immortal Realm, all the Shura spies were captured alive.
After some soul-searching and listening to his men's reports, Lai Yang also learned the Shura clan's purpose.
However, what he didn't expect was that there were shadows of those Buddhist guys behind this.
"It's the Buddhist sect that's fanning the flames from behind. Those guys are really lingering around." Lai Yang sighed.
"Lord Fengdu, what should we do with those people from the Shura tribe?"
"Let them go back, and let them tell their leader that as long as the Shura clan is willing to submit to the underworld, I have a way to resolve the karma of the Shura clan. If they are unwilling to submit, the day when I, the emperor, personally visit them will be the day when the entire Shura clan will be destroyed." Lai Yang said in an unquestionable tone.
Hearing this, the ghost couldn't help but shudder. He could feel the murderous intent contained in Lai Yang's words.
Then he recalled that the King of Fengdu appeared out of nowhere and slaughtered nearly one-third of the evil spirits in the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
He had no doubt that he was really capable of destroying the entire Shura clan.
In order to practice cultivation, others dare not commit the sin of killing, for fear of being burdened with endless karma.
This lord has no taboos and seems peaceful, but in fact, there is a terrifying madness in his bones.
However, the most outrageous thing is that he killed countless lives. Logically, his karma should have been unable to suppress him long ago, but the heaven has not yet punished him and killed him. This is very intriguing.
He is worthy of being the King of Fengdu appointed by the Goddess of Wutu.
Of course, these are not things that a little errand boy like him should think about. He just needs to follow orders and do whatever the adults say.
Following Lai Yang's instructions, the ghost messengers let the Shura spies go, and after relaying Lai Yang's words, they let them leave.
Several people from the Shura clan had expressions of relief. They all thought they were going to die in the underworld, but they didn't expect that the other party would let them go.
Soon, they returned to the Shura tribe and told the Shura leader, the Thousand-Headed Shura King, exactly what Lai Yang said.
Hearing that Lai Yang had a way to solve the karma problem of the Shura clan, the Thousand-Headed Shura King's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. He slapped the huge stone seat under him and said coldly: "How dare you say that you want to destroy my Shura clan. You are such an arrogant and arrogant guy. I want to see what ability he has to say such a thing."
The Thousand-Headed Asura King slowly stood up. His huge body was like a towering mountain. A terrifying aura emanated from his body, making people feel frightened and terrified involuntarily.
"The previous Fengdu Emperors of the underworld never dared to declare that they would subjugate my Shura clan. I hope the new Fengdu Emperor will not disappoint me."
"If he wants my Shura clan to surrender, then that's fine. As long as he can defeat me, I will lead the Shura clan to surrender to him. What does that mean? The Shura clan has always only worshipped the strong."
"Go, tell someone to tell the underworld that I am in the Shura tribe waiting for the arrival of the Emperor of Fengdu."
