Chapter 647

"But what about the Crocodile King and the Giant Pig King..."

The method was very simple, but both places were guarded by Demon Kings.

For ordinary disciples to go in would be no different from delivering food.

Are you saying he had to personally go and greet these two Demon Kings?

But how would he say it? "My Buddhist disciples are coming to hunt your demon beasts, so you two kings should just pretend you don't see them"? Is that even possible?

However, it was clear that Until Hong Zun had long thought of this. As for the method, it was even simpler.

"Just kill them."

"What did you say?"

Hearing Until Hong Zun wanted to kill these two Demon Kings, Juexin was stunned. No, after our many years of cooperation, are you asking me to be a traitor?

With a look of reluctance, seeing this, Until Hong Zun wasn't in a hurry. He even leaned back and said faintly:

"Abbot Juexin wouldn't have actually developed feelings for these Demon Kings, would he?"

"Nonsense! How could this poor monk associate with demon beasts?"

"That's fine then. You lure them out, and we'll take them down in one fell swoop."

"But... but..."

"Since Abbot Juexin is so troubled, I won't force you. However, ingredients are limited, so the Putuo Temple disciples should probably stop coming in the future."

A threat—a naked threat. Watching Until Hong Zun's look of certainty, Juexin was so angry his teeth itched, but he had no other choice.

Moreover, the Crocodile King and the Giant Pig King were still useful to him, and they were very convenient to use.

To suddenly take action against them, Juexin really couldn't bring himself to do it.

But to not let him eat—that was also impossible; he couldn't resist.

Full of conflict, watching Juexin like this, Until Hong Zun didn't urge him, as if talking to himself:

"Demon Kings, where aren't there any? Not eating because of this is an unwise choice. Besides, having cooperated for so long, those two Demon Kings should know quite a few secrets. If we don't silence them, what are we keeping them for?"

"Being able to silence them to keep secrets while also being able to eat—why not do it?"

Hm???

Hearing Until Hong Zun's self-talk, the expression in Juexin's eyes changed constantly, while Ye Changqing, Xu Jie, and the others on the side were full of admiration.

As expected of Master; this "bamboozling"... no, this way of speaking is truly reasonable and well-founded, making one have to be convinced.

"Let's do it. Fellow Daoist Until Hong Zun, tell me how this poor monk should cooperate."

Sure enough, in the end, Juexin gritted his teeth and agreed.

Seeing this, Until Hong Zun smiled slightly, with an expression that said it should have been like this all along.

"Very simple. The Abbot just needs to lure them out one by one."

"Good."

Since he had made the decision, Juexin didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Afterward, the group set off that very day, leaving the Buddha Kingdom. Of course, Ye Changqing and the others didn't go; only Until Hong Zun, Qingshi, and the others did.

The group arrived at the Tooth Crocodile Pond first. Juexin entered alone and, without receiving any obstruction, easily met the Crocodile King.

The Crocodile King, with a tall, sturdy figure and a mouth full of steel teeth, smiled when he saw Abbot Juexin:

"Haha, Abbot Juexin, you haven't come to find this King for a long time. What is it? Is there another big move? This time, you must give this King a bit more time to collect blood food."

He thought Juexin had come to cooperate with him, and a big cooperation at that.

Otherwise, Juexin wouldn't have come personally.

Watching the Crocodile King's enthusiastic appearance, Juexin remained calm on the surface, but sighed secretly in his heart.

"Amitabha, Crocodile King, don't blame me. This old monk sees that you are fated to face this tribulation; you cannot escape it."

Until Hong Zun and the others are guarding outside right now. As long as you walk out of this Tooth Crocodile Pond with this old monk, there will only be one outcome.

A scene like old friends meeting—who would have thought that the Abbot of the Putuo Temple, the leader of the Eastern Continent's Buddhist sect, could chat so happily with a Demon King?

Moreover, from their conversation, it wasn't hard to hear that they had cooperated many times before.

After some idle chatter, seeing that the time was about right, Juexin found an excuse to lure the Crocodile King out of the Tooth Crocodile Pond.

"Abbot Juexin, are you really giving me those few villages to the east?"

"Naturally."

"Haha, then this King thanks you. Although those few villages don't have many people, a grasshopper is still meat no matter how small. Rest assured, if the Abbot has any business in the future, just send word to this King; this King will never refuse."

"Hehe, good."

"Future," my ass. See if you can make it through today first.

Just as the Crocodile King was laughing loudly, a large hook suddenly flew out from the side and back, precisely hooking into its waist.

"Hm?"

Stunned for a moment, before the Crocodile King could react, a massive force dragged it directly into the bushes.
