The three demon kings of the City of Ten Thousand Demons are as unlucky as they could possibly be.
They originally thought that as long as they joined forces, they could at least have a chance against a powerful emperor like Yi Mie.
However, reality dealt them a harsh blow. If it weren't for the presence of the Boundless Buddha, the three of them would have perished long ago.
"I have met the Boundless King Buddha, and I have met the Eastern Emperor!"
The three city lords bowed to the Boundless Buddha and the Eastern Emperor.
Before today, they actually harbored resentment towards the Buddha King of the World.
After all, for the Buddhist sect to build a temple in their territory, the City of Ten Thousand Demons, is undoubtedly a slap in their face.
But now, they secretly rejoice that the Great Compassion Temple was built back then.
If it weren't for the Great Compassion Temple, the immeasurable Buddha could not have appeared here!
The Buddha of Immeasurable World glanced at the three disheveled demons, simply put his hands together, uttered "Amitabha," and said nothing more.
However, the Eastern Emperor stared at Ma Sanshui with great interest.
Ma Sanshui knew about the World Tree seeds.
Therefore, he only had two possible outcomes.
Either die, because only the dead can keep the secret forever.
Alternatively, one could become the mount of the Eastern Emperor.
Earlier, the Eastern Emperor mentioned that he lacked a mount.
If we can subdue this guy, he can keep our secrets.
Ma Sanshui felt the Eastern Emperor staring at him, scrutinizing him from head to toe, with the same gaze a customer would give a customer at a market looking at the pork they were about to buy.
He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, a sense of dread creeping up his spine.
"Does the Great Emperor have any orders?"
Ma Sanshui asked hesitantly and awkwardly.
"I happen to be missing a mount. I wonder if you would be interested?" the Eastern Emperor asked with a smile.
Ma Sanshui's pupils immediately contracted.
He knew that there must be a reason why the Eastern Emperor was staring at him.
However, at first, he didn't know what it was about.
To my utter surprise, the other party actually wanted to be his master!
"Your Majesty, I am willing! I am willing to be your mount!"
Before Ma Sanshui could even speak, Eagle King eagerly spoke up.
Are you kidding me? One punch from him could wipe out most of the hair on his body. (This is a reference to the Eastern Emperor's...)
Under attack, it couldn't even withstand two moves!
This is absolutely unbeatable!
After what happened today, Eagle King has become completely obedient, realizing that his strength is utterly insignificant in the face of a truly invincible powerhouse.
So now, before Ma Sanshui can even agree, they must agree first!
"Eagle King, you!"
Ma Sanshui was so angry that he could only stare blankly. He never expected that he had only been in a daze for a moment, and that the Eagle King, who had worked with him for many years, would be so unethical!
"King Horse, serving the Emperor is an honor for both of us, yet you are dawdling and hesitating, clearly showing your lack of sincerity. In that case, why not let me serve the Emperor?"
Seeing Ma Sanshui's life hanging in the balance, Eagle King not only didn't care, but also said something like this.
After hearing this, Ma Sanshui was so angry he almost vomited blood.
You not only stole my job, but you also said I wasn't devout.
Isn't this kicking someone when they're down?
This is absolutely outrageous!
He was so angry he almost exploded, and immediately said to the Eastern Emperor:
"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. The reason I didn't agree immediately was because happiness came so suddenly that I didn't react in time!"
"To be able to become Your Majesty's mount is an incredible stroke of luck, how could I possibly refuse?"
"Furthermore, I am also friends with Fellow Daoist Chen Kunkun, who is by your side, Your Majesty. I humbly request Your Majesty to take me in!"
Ma Sanshui immediately started trying to build connections.
"Chen Kunkun?"
The Eastern Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Chen Xuan and burst into laughter.
He knew that Chen Xuan was using a false name.
"Alright, from this day forward, you shall follow me." The Eastern Emperor spoke.
Ma Sanshui was overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times frantically. He excitedly said, "Thank you for taking me in, Your Majesty! I, Ma Sanshui, will certainly not let you down!"
After saying that, he gave Eagle King a provocative look, as if to say, "Little brat, trying to steal my job? Don't you know I have connections?"
As the saying goes, having connections in the imperial court makes things easier.
If the Eastern Emperor is the emperor, then Chen Xuan is Ma Sanshui's connection in the court.
"Your Majesty, what about me?"
Eagle King looked at the Eastern Emperor eagerly. He also wanted to find a backer. He had just volunteered himself and thought that as a powerful Great God Emperor, the Eastern Emperor should take him in.
"I only need one mount," said the Eastern Emperor. He could ride on a horse, but he couldn't ride on the back of an eagle; that would look rather incongruous.
"this……"
Eagle King's heart sank instantly.
He never expected that he was, after all, a Great God Emperor.
He actively tried to get close to them, but they didn't want him!
My heart turned ice-cold in an instant.
"Eagle King, come with me."
The Buddha smiled and said, "Since ancient times, our Buddhist sect has had the custom of raising eagles. I used to raise an eagle myself."
The eagle he mentioned was naturally the demon lord of the demon realm during the Three Thousand Provinces period.
The Demon Lord was a golden-winged roc, raised by the Buddha, but later, for some unknown reason, he betrayed the Buddha.
The Buddha had the power to kill him, but he never did.
Even now, the Demon Lord is still the boss of the Demon Realm.
"With you?"
The Eagle King glanced at the Buddha immediately. If it weren't for the presence of countless Buddhas in the world, he would have made a disgusted expression without any hesitation.
He, a powerful Great God Emperor, is going to follow a monk of the God Emperor level?
Are you kidding me?
"Don't look at me like that. I think you don't know my background. Immeasurable King Buddha is my uncle. Now that he has no successor, I will inherit his mantle in the future."
"You could say I'm a promising stock. Just because I'm not doing well now doesn't mean I won't be in the future, so you won't lose out if you follow me!"
The Buddha began to speak, patiently and persuasively.
Previously, he rode on the back of the Eagle King to Nangong City to find help. The speed was so fast that a single swing of his arm covered hundreds of millions of miles, as if he possessed the laws of time and space, which gave him a taste of the benefits.
So now, they want to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to subdue the Eagle King.
Upon hearing this, Eagle King's first reaction was whether Buddha was deliberately making empty promises.
And he also inherited the mantle of the Buddha King of the world?
The Buddha King of the World is just your uncle, not your master. He has his own disciples.
If anyone is to inherit his mantle, wouldn't it be his apprentice who does it?
