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

#2406 - Chu Hao is doing something bad

Just as Tang Sanzang and his disciples were feasting in the Demon Clan, Sun Wukong began to act according to Chu Hao's plan.

He stepped forward and said to the Jade Emperor:

"Jade Emperor, my master and two junior brothers have been captured by the Demon Clan. I implore you to send people to rescue them quickly."

Originally, the Peach Banquet was nearing its end and was extremely lively, but Sun Wukong's words immediately silenced the scene.

The Jade Emperor frowned and replied to Sun Wukong:

"Isn't Chu Hao in charge of the Journey to the West? Let Chu Hao lead people to rescue them."

Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, Chu Hao put down his wine cup and shook his head at the Jade Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this time, it is not demons who captured Tang Sanzang and his disciples, but the Demon Clan, which is very different from the past.

The Demon Emperor Chujin is extremely powerful, and even I cannot defeat him. Therefore, I do not have the ability to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Please, Your Majesty, choose someone else."

The Jade Emperor looked at Chu Hao, seemingly understanding Chu Hao's intention, and then looked at the gods of Heaven.

"May I ask which of you ministers can lead troops to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples?"

Hearing the Jade Emperor's question, the gods of Heaven lowered their heads one by one, their faces awkward.

In Heaven, in terms of strength, Chu Hao can now be ranked first.

If even he does not have the strength to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples, who else in Heaven has such ability?

"That Demon Emperor Chujin is indeed powerful; we are no match for him."

"Besides the Prison God, who else has the ability to contend with Demon Emperor Chujin?"

"We are far behind the Prison God. If he doesn't have the ability, we are even more incapable."

The gods of Heaven shook their heads and whispered among themselves.

"What? Is there no one in my Heaven who can defeat the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan?"

Seeing the reaction of the gods of Heaven, the Jade Emperor was clearly displeased.

"Your Majesty, the Prison God is the only one who can contend with Chujin."

"We should still ask the Prison God to take action to have a chance of victory."

"The Prison God is the strongest in our Heaven. We are willing to cheer for the Prison God!"

Seeing the Jade Emperor's displeasure, the gods of Heaven spoke one after another, pushing the problem back to Chu Hao.

In fact, they had no choice but to do so. Apart from Chu Hao, there was really no one who could compete with Chujin.

"Prison God, in my opinion, you should handle this matter."

The Jade Emperor then looked at Chu Hao and said.

"If I must handle this matter, then I have a condition."

Chu Hao also knew that this would be the result, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Prison God, just speak your mind; we will definitely cooperate."

"Prison God, whatever you command, we will do our best."

"Our Heaven should provide the Prison God with every convenience."

Before the Jade Emperor could say anything, the gods of Heaven answered on his behalf.

"Yes, Chu Hao, you can bring up any conditions you have."

The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement and said to Chu Hao.

"I need an item to be confident in defeating Chujin and rescuing Tang Sanzang and his disciples from the Demon Clan. This item is the Nine Dragons Golden Staff of the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

If the Dao Ancestor is willing to give me this item, then I will immediately lead people to the Demon Clan to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples, guaranteeing their safe return."

In fact, Chu Hao's real purpose was to take this opportunity to obtain the Nine Dragons Golden Staff from Taishang Laojun.

Taishang Laojun's reaction was within Chu Hao's expectations, so Chu Hao did not say anything.

Because Chu Hao did not need to speak himself; now, everyone present would put pressure on Taishang Laojun on Chu Hao's behalf.

"I say, old man, you are a bit too stingy. Are you unwilling to lend me a magic weapon to save my master?"

Sun Wukong glared at Taishang Laojun first.

"Dao Ancestor, you must prioritize the overall situation!"

"Dao Ancestor is the spiritual symbol of our Heaven; you must not ruin your image because of this!"

"Prison God is borrowing your magic weapon only to save Tang Sanzang and the others. Why are you so stubborn?"

The words of the gods of Heaven made Taishang Laojun very embarrassed, but he was still unwilling to give up the Nine Dragons Golden Staff.

"Taking my Nine Dragons Golden Staff is absolutely impossible."

Taishang Laojun replied with a firm attitude, refusing to budge.

At this time, only the Jade Emperor could speak. The Jade Emperor looked at Taishang Laojun and began to persuade him:

"Dao Ancestor, this matter is not trivial. Tang Sanzang and his disciples are related to the Journey to the West plan, which is very important to our Heaven.

Dao Ancestor is the mainstay of our Heaven. It is necessary to make some sacrifices at this time.

Moreover, Chu Hao is only temporarily borrowing the Nine Dragons Golden Staff to deal with Chujin. He is not demanding it without returning it. Dao Ancestor, do not be petty."

In fact, the Jade Emperor had basically understood Chu Hao's intention, but he still had to say so.

Firstly, Chu Hao had already obtained the Jade Emperor's Heaven Sealing Talisman and the Queen Mother's Undying Spiritual Root. It would be too unwilling if only they suffered losses. It would be good to drag Taishang Laojun along.

Secondly, the Jade Emperor had a bet with Chu Hao. The Jade Emperor had promised to cooperate with Chu Hao, and now Chu Hao's intention was clearly to have the Jade Emperor cooperate.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor spoke, ostensibly persuading Taishang Laojun, but actually putting pressure on him.

Of course, Taishang Laojun was not a fool. He also knew that Chu Hao must be playing tricks, all for his Nine Dragons Golden Staff.

However, Chu Hao's excuse was very reasonable, which was to save Tang Sanzang and defeat the Demon Emperor Chujin, leaving him unable to voice his grievances.

At this time, everyone in Heaven, from top to bottom, supported Chu Hao. Even if he wanted to refuse, he could not withstand the pressure.

Otherwise, how could he maintain his reputation as the Dao Ancestor in Heaven? Wouldn't he be ridiculed and laughed at behind his back by the people of Heaven?

However, he was really reluctant to part with his Nine Dragons Golden Staff. Chu Hao's plan had put Taishang Laojun in a dilemma.

After some thought, Taishang Laojun seemed to have finally made a decision. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and said to the Jade Emperor:

"In my opinion, that Demon Emperor Chujin is nothing special. Why not let me lead the troops of Heaven to the Demon Clan to rescue people?"

Taishang Laojun was unwilling to suffer public criticism and unwilling to lose the Nine Dragons Golden Staff, so there was only one path he could take.

That was for him to replace Chu Hao and lead the troops of Heaven to the Demon Clan to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

Hearing Taishang Laojun's words, Chu Hao couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect Taishang Laojun to make such a decision.
