Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!
Chapter 129 The Clever Lion
Hearing this, everyone was stunned!
The Mount-Removing Sage was one of the few among the seven Great Saints who excelled in both letters and arms, he hardly took action, but his strength was recognized by all; he was also a wise advisor.
The Mount-Removing Sage continued, "The situation was special before, and I couldn''t speak up. Now what I want to say is, don''t you think that person came a bit too easily? And also at an inopportune time? The Celestial Realm is high above us; if they really disapproved of that bald man, would they need us to take action? The Celestial Realm is not lacking in experts!"
The Vanguard Officer said, "Big brother, just speak frankly."
The Mount-Removing Sage replied, "All right, I''ll speak frankly then. Do you remember the incident with the monkey? When the monkey made trouble initially, the Jade Emperor wanted to send someone to suppress him directly. It was only after Taibai Jinxing intervened to save him that he was invited to the heavens to become Bi-Ma-Wen. Later, when he caused more trouble, the Jade Emperor''s intention was to suppress him directly again! He even sent him to the Immortal Slaying Stage, he truly had the intention to kill.
The monkey''s background, as you all know, is one of the four monkeys of Chaos and was born from the Five-Colored Stone; his origin is significant, and he has formidable backing...
And his master is mysterious and inscrutable, no one among the heavens can deduce his identity, which has already revealed the other party''s background.
With such a background, would the Jade Emperor kill just like that? Would such a Celestial Realm really care about a bald man?"
The Demon King Jiaomo of the Covering Sea Great Saint said, "I''ve considered this as well. But that royal decree..."
The Lion Camel King shook his head and said, "That royal decree, if you say it''s precious, it is the hand-written script of the Great Emperor, supremely dignified; if you say it''s worthless, it''s just toilet paper. As long as you are not afraid of death, forging one isn''t too hard."
The Macaque King exclaimed, "Lion, are you saying that royal decree is fake? But that Taoist shadow earlier, that was the authentic Qi of Western Geng Metal!"
The Lion Camel King said, "I don''t know if it''s true or fake, I''m just analyzing the situation.
The Celestial Realm being so powerful yet asking us scattered demons to take action, isn''t that strange?

There are only two possibilities that could lead them to make such a choice, one is that they are inconvenient to act, and the other is that they dare not act.
If it''s inconvenient to act, it means that the other party has a strong backer, the kind the Celestial Realm doesn''t want to provoke karma with, so they want us to take the fall.
As for not daring to act but still letting us do it, then it''s not the bald man they want to kill, but us!"
Hearing this, a group of Demon Kings immediately broke out into a cold sweat.
The Demon King Jiaomo said, "Continue your analysis."
Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of all the Demon Kings, their robes soaked through...
The Jiao Demon King said, "Lion, since you saw this early on, why not speak up sooner?"
The Lion Camel King shook his head, "Back then, when everyone had arrived, what was I supposed to say? Should I tell them they were here just for some excitement? Besides, Buddhism must have been watching that spot, and if I''d stood up... I''m afraid they would''ve had ways to deal with me too. Plus, there was that aura similar to that of the Western Celestial Emperor from the Taiji Palace of the West...
Such a convincing aura, none of you could tell real from fake, and I should''ve jumped out to argue?
Damn it, the first one who would''ve beaten me up would probably have been you guys!"
The few Demon Kings suddenly looked embarrassed, and thinking back on that scenario, they probably would''ve given him a beating indeed.
"Big brother, now that the situation has come to this, is there any way to remedy it? You can''t just watch your brothers fall into a trap, right?" the Macaque King asked.
The Yu Rui King said, "Big brother, since you''ve spoken, surely you must have a solution, right?"
The Lion Camel King said, "To break this game is not difficult, later, let''s do this!"
After the Lion Camel King finished speaking, the eyes of the Demon Kings lit up, "Good, let''s do exactly that! Ha ha ha... offend neither party!"
However, the Yu Rui King suddenly said, "The plan is good, but I still want to challenge Sun Wukong."
The Lion Camel King laughed, "That''s fine!"
Just then, the Jiao Demon King muttered, "The Rampaging Demon King, as the Vanguard Officer, has been gone for so long, why haven''t we seen him return to report? We can''t even feel his presence from afar... He was supposed to find a good place to set up camp and wait for us to converge, could he have run away?"
"That... could that be the Rampaging Demon King?" The Macaque King, shading his eyes, pointed towards the distant opposite side, where a giant crab lay.
The Jiao Demon King looked closely and muttered, "He looks like it, but the color is wrong. Why is he red? And he''s steaming..."
As they approached, they finally saw clearly, it was indeed the Rampaging Demon King, only he seemed to have been cooked!
The crab''s empty shell was placed on the ground, and inside the shell sat several people, cooling off.
Those people were precisely the disciples of Tang Sanzang whom they were looking for!
The expression on the Jiao Demon King''s face darkened instantly: "This... Is this the work of humans?"
