#1813 - A strategy that kills two birds with one stone
Rulai's delaying tactic left Sun Wukong with no way to refute, and Rulai even told him not to make a fuss and return first, in order to prevent him from running to the Heavenly Court for help again.
Sun Wukong returned without success. After leaving, a look of disgust appeared on his face: "This Western Paradise is indeed as Brother Chu Hao said, everyone is just thinking about scheming, completely disregarding Master's safety."
As the saying goes, Sun Wukong still followed Chu Hao's plan and returned to the cave.
In the cave, the White Elephant and Green Lion also received instructions from the Western Paradise, asking them to delay taking action against Tang Sanzang and others and wait and see what happens.
It was already a few days later when the arrangements were properly made.
Just as the Western Paradise was wondering whether the Golden-Winged Great Peng had gained Chu Hao's trust, he finally returned to Mount Ling to reply.
"Buddha, I have already gained the trust of that Chu Hao," the Great Peng said to Rulai with a confident face.
These words made the Buddhas feel relieved. Seeing the plan succeed, they were also very proud.
For a long time, they had been suppressed and aggrieved by Chu Hao's behavior, and there was a lot of resentment in their hearts. Now that they had finally successfully planted a chess piece, they would not be too passive.
Moreover, according to the Great Peng, after Chu Hao tested him, he entrusted him with important tasks and even arranged for more than a dozen gods to follow him, making him look like a high-level figure.
This made the Buddhas very happy. If the Great Peng was still just a bottom-level figure, it would take a lot of time to climb up. Now that he had become a high-level figure in the Law Enforcement Hall, their plan would be smoother.
At this time, White Lotus Child suddenly thought of something and immediately asked: "Are you sure that the Prison God didn't suspect you?"
Although the Golden-Winged Great Peng didn't know the identity of the White Lotus Child, seeing that he could sit with the Buddha, he nodded without hesitation: "That's right, although the Prison God was a little suspicious at first, he accepted me after confirming that I wasn't lying."
Seeing this, the White Lotus Child immediately transmitted a voice to Rulai next to him: "Buddha, I already have a plan in mind."
Rulai was immediately interested.
He only heard the White Lotus Child continue: "Since this Great Peng Bird must participate in the tribulation, why not also pull the Law Enforcement Hall into it..."
According to the White Lotus Child's plan, since this Golden-Winged Great Peng had already controlled part of the power of the Law Enforcement Hall, it would be better to use this power to make him participate in this tribulation, and then take the opportunity to turn this power into his own.
He planned to have the Great Peng Bird and the two demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge stage a scene of brotherly betrayal, and then take the opportunity to let Tang Sanzang and his disciples escape in the chaos, which would be a win-win situation.
Not only would it strengthen the power of Lion Camel Ridge, but it would also complete this tribulation. Furthermore, all of Chu Hao's efforts would be in vain. At that time, the Great Peng Bird could also gain Chu Hao's trust and prepare for provoking conflicts with the Demon Clan in the future.
After listening to the White Lotus Child's plan, Rulai immediately felt that this was a good plan.
After all, after the intervention of the Demon Clan, although Lion Camel Ridge now belonged to Mount Ling, he couldn't guarantee that the Demon Clan would not take action again in the future. If Lion Camel Ridge fell into the hands of the Demon Clan again.
After all, the combat power of Lion Camel Ridge could not be underestimated, and the demons there were also very powerful. It would be unacceptable for Mount Ling if they became the Demon Clan's helpers.
Right now, it was a good opportunity to support the Golden-Winged Great Peng to become the king of Lion Camel Ridge, and then take the opportunity to solve the two demons who dared to disobey Mount Ling, reshuffle and reorganize the original forces of Lion Camel Ridge, and become the subordinates of the Western Paradise again.
That's right, don't look at the fact that the Western Paradise has seemingly forgiven the Green Lion and White Elephant, it's actually because of this tribulation.
Rulai would naturally not let go of these two guys who dared to confront the Western Paradise in such a way.
Therefore, Rulai agreed to this plan and immediately told the Golden-Winged Great Peng his arrangements.
After listening, the Golden-Winged Great Peng didn't expect that the Western Paradise would have such thoughts, and even wanted him to betray his brothers, the Green Lion and White Elephant. Such a sinister plan made his heart turn cold.
But on the surface, he still did not object and chose to obey.
"You go back and persuade Chu Hao first," Rulai ordered.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng nodded and left.
Rulai then looked at the Buddhas and said slowly: "This plan must succeed. Everyone needs to cooperate more and not reveal the slightest bit."
The Buddhas agreed.
"Buddha, although the Law Enforcement Hall is powerful, Chu Hao will definitely not send a large number of gods. Lion Camel Ridge has many demons. If they really fight, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to the Great Peng Bird," Namo Water Heaven Buddha said with concern.
These words made Rulai fall into deep thought.
At this time, the White Lotus Child immediately said: "That Great Peng Bird also has his own forces. We can encourage the surrounding demons to join his camp, take the opportunity to strengthen his strength, and increase his capital."
Rulai nodded: "What the Child said is very true. Water Heaven Buddha, go and arrange it."
Namo Water Heaven Buddha nodded.
Obviously, the Western Paradise has put a lot of effort into this plan.
It's just that they probably never expected that the Golden-Winged Great Peng had already reached a contract with Chu Hao and become his servant.
On the other side, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, who was arranged by Chu Hao to return to the Western Paradise, immediately informed Chu Hao of this plan.
"What else can we do? Just follow their plan and give them a little surprise at that time," Chu Hao showed a mischievous smile.
At the same time, Namo Water Heaven Buddha also came to the lower realm and began to build momentum for the Great Peng Bird.
He first instigated a group of demons, promising them gold, silver, treasures, and many benefits to join the Golden-Winged Great Peng's camp. Then, he boasted about his powerful strength, saying that even the Western Paradise was very afraid of him. He even said that the Golden-Winged Great Peng was the Buddha's uncle.
These words reached Rulai's ears, making him feel depressed.
He thought that this Namo Water Heaven Buddha was reliable in his work, but could such things be said outside? Even if everyone was half-believing, it wouldn't be good for his reputation.
It's just that Rulai has no way to retreat at this moment and can only let him mess around. When the plan is successful, it will be worth his efforts.
Under the momentum created by Namo Water Heaven Buddha, some demons near Lion Camel Ridge also moved upon hearing the news.
After all, if they followed such a promising king, they would definitely be able to eat and drink well, so they all chose to join.
When the Golden-Winged Great Peng returned to his kingdom, he was stunned to find a bunch of younger brothers.
He didn't expect the Western Paradise to create such a huge momentum. The dark mass of demons was shocking.
But this was also good, letting the Western Paradise work for him, he was also very happy, and he saved himself from having to make a name for himself.
