Wang Yao was examining the wooden stakes on both sides of the road when he saw the Lord of Filling the Sea, his face ashen, wave his hand and unleash two lines of fire, setting most of them ablaze. He then sighed and used his Samadhi True Fire to help the Lord of Filling the Sea clean up the mess.
As he burned the wooden stakes bearing the divine head, Wang Yao looked up at the gate of the Decapitation Demon City. He saw a white flag hanging on the gate tower at the end of the road, like a surrender flag, but he didn't see a single demon.
He looked more closely at both sides of the road. The array of the Eight Gates Killing Array was still there. He guessed that this should be the south gate of the Decapitation Demon City, the location of the life gate of the Eight Gates Killing Array. He thought to himself that although the old woman was reckless, she was not completely clueless. She even knew to look for the life gate to break the array.
"...Alright, alright, you little rascal, you've eaten all the food I was planning to leave for the Gluttonous Celestial Venerable at home, and you even made me almost forget my important business. If you want to eat something delicious, come with me to the Heavenly Court. I can't take care of you right now."
The Queen Mother of the West finally finished feeding the Cloud-Ascending Beast. She pinched and squeezed the beast with one hand, and the celestial beast visibly shrank to the size of a mouse. She then casually tucked the Cloud-Ascending Beast into her bosom.
"It belongs to this humble monk, give it back to this humble monk..." Hui Shuo hurriedly shouted upon seeing this.
"Yours? Little monk, call it and see if it responds. You haven't established a master-pet contract with it, how dare you say it's yours? Besides, I've never seen anyone raise a pet like you. The Cloud-Ascending Beast is starving, do you know that?"
Upon hearing Hui Shuo's shouts, the Queen Mother of the West was displeased and frowned as she scolded him.
"Although this Cloud-Ascending Beast can go a hundred years without eating or drinking, it can't be kept starving. The best way is to feed it twice a month, on the first and fifteenth of each month, so that the Cloud-Ascending Beast can grow properly. Look at the state of your Cloud-Ascending Beast, it's stunted, you know?"
"You Buddhist monks don't even feed their pets? Are all monks living like immortals these days? I've never heard of such a thing! You don't even appreciate such a divine beast in your hands, what right do you have to keep it? It's more proper for me to take it to the celestial realm and release it..."
"Grandma, why did you bring Wang Xian here? You want to attack the Decapitation Demon City, and so do we, but those demon bastards have set up the Eight Gates Killing Formation. We need to plan carefully before we attack; we can't act rashly."
The Sea-Reclamation God had hastily cleared away most of the divine wooden stakes outside the array and within his field of vision. He then turned to the Queen Mother of the West and advised her.
"Oh, right, right, I almost forgot. Hurry up, let's go and take down the Demon City."
The Sea-Reclamation God's silence seemed to have alerted the old woman, causing her expression to change. With a swift movement, she subtly grabbed Wang Yao's arm again from between Lu Ban and the Twin Puppets.
Lu Ban's expression changed, and he was about to make a move, but he immediately stared intently at the Queen Mother of the West, his eyes twitching violently, and he managed to restrain himself from taking action.
"Grandma, even if you want to attack the Decapitation Demon City, can't you go by yourself? Why do you keep bothering me?" Wang Yao was pulled to the old woman's side, feeling extremely aggrieved, and couldn't help but shout.
"No way! I promised I would keep an eye on you as you conquer the Demon City. If I let you go, who will I keep an eye on?" the old woman said seriously.
"Staring at me? My goodness! You think too highly of me. How could I possibly conquer Demon City? To conquer Demon City, you would need to gather all the gods and ten powerful beings like yourself!" Wang Yao exclaimed hastily.
"All the gods? What's the point of bringing so many? It's just an attack on a demon city, not a dinner party. Except for my little Wei, all the gods have gone to the Tongtian Demon City. I heard the demon lords are there too. I can handle things here. The Supreme One said that my side is called support...?"
"The key to support is to launch an attack as quickly as possible, regardless of the consequences, to draw the attention of the Heavenly Demon City. If we can get one or two more of their main forces to come over, my mission will be more than accomplished... That's it, hurry, hurry, let's get going..."
The Queen Mother of the West muttered to herself, then grabbed Wang Yao and charged straight toward the gate of the Execution Demon City, where a white flag was hanging.
"Hey... sigh, Grandma, please put me down..." Wang Yao was about to call out "Wait a minute," but the old woman was too fast and had already dragged him into the Eight Gates Killing Formation without saying a word. Wang Yao saw that wisps of mist were inexplicably spreading out from the surrounding forest and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Damn it, he was just unlucky to run into this old woman he didn't know what grudge she had against him. Now he could only lose his life here. But anyway, he was just going back to the God and Demon Forging Ground. It was better than having a bunch of ghosts and demons die with him.
Moreover, now that we're inside the formation, we might as well fight those demon bastards and see just how powerful this Eight Gates Killing Formation, which Lu Bu has been boasting about, really is.
As soon as he entered the formation, Wang Yao felt that his vision was not very clear. Mist was spreading all around him, and the scenery around him soon became indistinct and shadowy.
He looked back and saw that the road still seemed to lead to the outside of the formation, but the burning wooden stakes and the gods and ghosts that had been standing on the road outside the formation, including Hui Shuo, were nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it, this is bad. If I go into the formation like this, Hui Shuo, Wu Ying, and Qin Su will most likely follow. Where are they? Why can't I hear a sound? At least Hui Shuo should be able to shout a few times, right?" Wang Yao worried inwardly.
"So that's how it is, tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect it, there are so many tricks involved..." The Queen Mother of the West put down Wang Yao and looked around, clicking her tongue repeatedly.
