#2223 - Chu Hao becomes the host
Just as Buddha and the others in the Western Paradise were discussing matters, Chu Hao also began to busy himself. He first went to the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan, which had originally besieged Mount Ling, suffered a crushing defeat and fled due to Buddha's sudden return, with countless casualties.
Therefore, the current Demon Clan appeared even more miserable than the Western Paradise. Not only did they lose a large amount of the territory they had originally occupied, but they also changed their headquarters, setting it up in a hidden area, and the entire Demon Clan became much more low-key.
The people of the Demon Clan, including Maitreya Buddha, did not seem very welcoming of Chu Hao's arrival.
After all, Maitreya Buddha was not stupid. Their continuous battles with the Western Paradise all involved some of Chu Hao's tricks and provocations.
As a result, the Demon Clan and the Western Paradise fought to the point of bloodshed, and neither side gained any advantage. It was impossible that Chu Hao had no part in this scheming.
"Prison God, what brings you to my Demon Clan?"
Although Maitreya Buddha was somewhat indifferent to Chu Hao, his words were still polite. Chu Hao was, after all, the Prison God of the Three Realms, representing the Heavenly Court, and Maitreya Buddha was unwilling to offend such a person.
"I have naturally come because there are matters that need to be discussed with you, the Demon Clan."
Chu Hao said with a smile to Maitreya Buddha, and without waiting for Maitreya Buddha to offer him a seat, he sat down unceremoniously.
"Prison God, please forgive me for speaking frankly, you have indeed shown some favor to my Demon Clan, but the matters you discuss with my Demon Clan basically offer no benefit to us.
It is not that I am dissatisfied with the Prison God, but rather that I cannot explain this to the Demon Clan as a whole. Can the Prison God understand?"
Maitreya Buddha said directly to Chu Hao.
Chu Hao was not surprised by Maitreya Buddha's words. If the other party did not say this, he would have to consider whether the Demon Clan was beginning to scheme against him.
"I can naturally understand, but as the Prison God of the Three Realms in the Heavenly Court, I am not one of you in the Demon Clan. If there is something to be done, I will naturally prioritize the interests of the Heavenly Court.
I have never spoken falsely to you in the Demon Clan, nor have I ever asked you to do anything. Everything is based on your own judgment and decision, is it not?
Therefore, we were not cooperating before, so your gains have nothing to do with me, and your losses cannot be blamed on me."
Chu Hao said to Maitreya Buddha and the people of the Demon Clan. This was not an explanation, but the truth. The truth naturally has its reasons.
"What the Prison God says is indeed true. We can put aside the previous matters. I wonder what the Prison God wants to discuss with us this time?"
Maitreya Buddha nodded and asked Chu Hao.
"The reason I said so much is because next, I plan to cooperate with the Demon Clan.
It was only because of the existence of Buddha, the number one expert in the Three Realms, that the Demon Clan was very afraid of the Western Paradise and did not dare to easily attack them.
But based on the grievances and hatred between the Demon Clan and the Western Paradise, the Demon Clan would never give up any opportunity to take revenge on the Western Paradise, and Chu Hao had grasped this point.
"This plan still requires us to discuss it together."
Chu Hao began to tell Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Clan his general ideas.
After the two sides discussed, Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Clan people seemed very satisfied, smiles appeared on their faces, and their attitude towards Chu Hao also changed greatly.
"The Prison God is indeed intelligent, our Demon Clan will definitely cooperate."
Maitreya Buddha said on behalf of the Demon Clan.
"Then it's settled."
Chu Hao nodded and said with a smile.
After leaving the Demon Clan, Chu Hao went to the place where Tang Seng and the others were. Tang Seng and his disciples were, after all, the key to everything.
Therefore, this plan must be explained to them clearly, and Tang Seng and the others were needed as the core roles of the plan.
After listening to the plan that Chu Hao had said, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong all nodded.
"We will do everything according to Immortal Chu Hao's instructions."
"Brother, don't worry, we will definitely have no problem."
"Boss, please rest assured, Old Pig guarantees to complete the task."
After listening to Chu Hao's arrangements, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong all expressed their views.
"This time I need to act alone, I can't be with you. We can maintain contact between the two sides, but it must be done in absolute secrecy, so that the Western Paradise cannot discover it."
Chu Hao exhorted Tang Seng and the others.
According to Chu Hao's judgment, the Western Paradise's arrangements in Tianzhu Kingdom were extremely thorough, but in the end, they were defeated miserably.
Next, the Western Paradise would be even more cautious, and might even conduct all-round monitoring of Tang Seng and his disciples. They needed to be extra careful.
After discussing with Tang Seng and the others, Chu Hao went to the Heavenly Court to discuss the next step of the plan with the Jade Emperor.
Although Chu Hao's plan listed the Demon Clan and Tang Seng's disciples as implementers, the core link was still in the Heavenly Court and with the Jade Emperor.
Neither the Demon Clan nor Tang Seng's disciples had the strength to truly confront the Western Paradise head-on.
Therefore, when facing the Western Paradise, the Heavenly Court still needed to come forward to suppress them, and the Jade Emperor was the person to hold the line.
"Chu Hao, just tell朕 what plans you have, and朕 will definitely let the Heavenly Court cooperate with your actions."
The Jade Emperor now had a very favorable view of Chu Hao. Previously, he had caused the Western Paradise to lose troops and generals several times, causing Tathagata to lose face.
These were all things that the Jade Emperor wanted to do but could not easily do. Chu Hao had schemed his way into the Jade Emperor's heart.
"Previously, the Western Paradise was the one who dominated the Journey to the West, setting up tribulations for Tang Seng and his disciples, acting as a planner.
We were all in a passive link, but after the capital of Tianzhu Kingdom, the Western Paradise has obviously weakened, and this situation should also be changed.
We must take the initiative to arrange and dominate the Journey to the West, design and arrange tribulations for the Western Paradise, and let them also become chess pieces.
Only in this way can our Heavenly Court completely overwhelm the Western Paradise, and only then can we completely destroy their Journey to the West."
Chu Hao told the Jade Emperor his thoughts.
"Turning the tables and making the Western Paradise a chess piece, hmm, very good."
The Jade Emperor nodded repeatedly as he listened to what Chu Hao said. He also felt that it was time for the Heavenly Court to take the lead.
Next, Chu Hao roughly explained his arrangements to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor nodded repeatedly as he listened.
"Very good, this will definitely catch the Western Paradise off guard and make it difficult for them to resist."
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but smile as he listened, and he seemed very satisfied with Chu Hao's arrangements.
At this moment, someone suddenly came in from outside to report to the Jade Emperor.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Tathagata Buddha of the Western Paradise is requesting an audience outside."
Hearing that Tathagata Buddha had come, the Jade Emperor seemed a little puzzled, wondering why Tathagata Buddha would take the initiative to come at this time.
