Honghuang: Oh no, the Witch Clan Chief has lost his mind!

Chapter 274 I need to go into seclusion.

The two fought from the surface of the river to the air, and then from the air to the bottom of the river, causing the river water to churn and mud and sand to fly everywhere. Dali took a mud bath right there on the side!

Of course, no matter how exciting the fight is, it's still just acting.

The two continued fighting while chatting about random things.

After the two launched a dozen more fierce attacks, seeing that they had performed enough, Sha Wujing suddenly ran out of strength and was knocked back onto the river surface by a blow from his staff.

Before long, Sha Wujing climbed out of the river again and praised him generously:

"Wow, that's amazing! Who are you?"

Sun Wukong stood tall and proud, a broad smile on his face:

"I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"

Escort Chen Dali to the Western Paradise to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures!

If you know what's good for you, get out of the way right now!

Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing's eyes darted around:

"On a pilgrimage? Is it to the Western Paradise, Mount Ling?"

"Exactly!"

"Then take me with you!"

Sha Wujing suddenly put away his magic staff, cupped his hands, and said...

"I'm tired of being stuck in this shifting sands for a long time, and I'm looking for a future!"

Chen Dali watched in stunned silence:

"They've already surrendered? Are their bones so soft?! Only the human race has the hardest bones!"

Seeing Chen Dali hesitate, Zhu Ganglie explained in a low voice:

"Dali, this guy should be one of us too. Let's take him and continue on our way!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dali carefully examined the beast head hanging around Sha Wujing's neck, frowned, and asked:

"That doesn't look like a human head hanging around your neck, does it? Wasn't that more telling than saying you eat passersby?!"

Sha Wujing quickly said, "These are all demonic beasts that harm the human race. I dare not actually eat people; I only kill demonic beasts to satisfy my hunger."

Humans are my eternal allies!

These heads are hung here to warn other demons not to approach human tribes.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dali's eyes lit up:

"Since you're protecting humanity, then we're brothers! From now on, follow us!"

"Okay, okay, from now on we're best buddies!"

Sha Wujing nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, "If anything happens in the future, brother, you'll have to take the fall for me!"

And so, the last member of the pilgrimage team arrived.

And so the entire pilgrimage team was assembled:

Team Leader: Sun Wukong, peak Great Luo level strength, Chaos Dao Foundation, responsible for fighting and breaking through all obstacles.

Member 2: Chen Dali, a pragmatic and capable official, responsible for investigation, surveying and planning the route.

Member 3: Little White Dragon Ao Lie, in charge of transportation and water conservancy projects.

Member 4: Zhu Ganglie, skilled in cooking, is in charge of food for the rest of the journey. Even if they have to beg for food, he is the one who goes.

Member 5: Sha Wujing, an environmentalist, is responsible for handling food ingredients and clearing road obstructions.

Looking at the whole picture, this hardly seems like a pilgrimage group.

This is definitely a long-distance hiking trip!

......

Lingshan, the newly built Great Thunder Temple.

Guanyin is reporting the details of the journey to the West to the Buddha.

"...At this point, Sun Wukong, the White Dragon Horse, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Wujing have all joined the team."

The pilgrimage team has assembled and is now heading towards Xiniu Hezhou.

The guide sat upright on the lotus platform, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said:

"What's happening to the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi now?"

Guanyin hesitated for a moment and said:

"By informing Buddha, Chen Dali is diligent and pragmatic, recording the geographical conditions and the distribution of living beings along the way daily. He also has some exchanges with various races, but the things exchanged are mostly human thoughts, and he rarely discusses Buddhist teachings!"

"What about the four who were with him?"

"Sun Wukong's strength is unfathomable. Although he is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I feel that his actual combat power has already touched the level of a Quasi-Saint who has severed one of his corpses!"

Little White Dragon, Pigsy, Sandy... it's a bit hard to say! I'm not sure either!

Guanyin knew that these people seemed fine overall, but she could tell that they were definitely connected to the Jie Sect and were blatantly discrediting Buddhism!

But you can't really find fault with them, since apart from Sun Wukong and Ao Lie, everyone else has already reincarnated once.

None of them outwardly showed that they knew each other!

Guanyin pondered for a moment, carefully choosing her words before continuing.

"For example, Sha Wujing wears a demon beast's head around his neck, supposedly to warn the demon race and protect the human race. This..."

Jieyin slowly opened his eyes:

"You mean, they don't seem like resentful, banished immortals, but rather... they were prepared in advance?"

"This disciple dares not speak presumptuously, but I feel there is a problem."

Receiving silence.

After a long silence, he slowly said:

"The Journey to the West is a predetermined destiny, its fate has begun and cannot be reversed. Even if there are some strange things going on, we can only continue for the time being."

Continue to observe secretly, and report any unusual activity immediately. If there is an opportunity to guide Jin Chanzi, put in extra effort!

"Yes."

After Guanyin withdrew, Jieyin looked eastward, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of space, landing on the small group on the westward journey.

He calculated with his fingers, but the secrets of heaven remained a mystery, and he had no idea what changes would follow!

Not only was there interference from the aura of the Great Calamity, but he also sensed another force interfering.

"Humanity...the underworld...the ancestral witches..." the guide murmured to himself.

"What exactly are you plotting? Could it be that you intend to sacrifice a portion of humanity's destiny to quickly overcome the Great Tribulation?!"

Can we in the West really obtain this wave of luck and merit from the Journey to the West so easily?!

But he couldn't deduce it, nor could he figure it out!

Or perhaps he has already figured it out, but he's gambling.

It's a gamble that the other side is genuinely willing to sacrifice some interests in exchange for future peace!

......

Pingxin Hall.

Tianqi stood in the center of the hall, with a huge map of the Journey to the West floating in front of him.

The map is densely covered with various symbols—green represents "our own people," and red represents "Buddhist traitors."

However, the red area is very small and mostly located in the western region.

"The acting in these scenes was quite good; there seemed to be absolutely no problem."

I noticed that Guanyin, who was secretly watching from the side, didn't seem particularly excited; the effect was remarkable!

Pingxin smiled and said,

"The key is that Chen Dali believed it."

Dijiang also smiled and said,

"His thoughts are now perfectly pure, he adheres to the fundamental principles of humanity, and shows absolutely no sign of straying from the right path!"

"That's for the best." Apocalypse was also very satisfied.

"Pure people are the hardest to be swayed."

It will be difficult for Buddhism to guide him on his journey!

Apocalypse reached out and tapped a few red dots on the route map, then continued:

"These places are the real tests planted by the Buddhist sect—Yellow Wind Ridge, Fire Cloud Cave, especially Little Thunder Temple and Lion Camel Ridge, are all tough nuts to crack, enough to keep Wukong busy for a while!"

"Should we keep an eye on things secretly?"

Gonggong asked excitedly.

"No need," Tianqi shook his head.

"Wukong is currently at the peak of the Great Luo realm, with a Chaos Dao Foundation, plus his three fellow disciples..."

As long as you don't encounter any beings who have severed two or more of their bodies (quasi-saints), you can handle them.

"And I've also left myself a backup plan, so I can make it even if I have to go at the last minute!"

After saying this, Tianqi paused and said:

"Besides, I need to go into seclusion."
