Chapter 348: with translation of chapter title

I thought this was my chance to defy heaven and change my fate, to soar to the skies, but when I heard the words 'Dao Yi Sect' and 'Hong Zun', Sha Hu's face froze instantly.

All hope shattered in an instant.

It was just joking, wanting to cling to the Clan Chief's thigh, but never imagined it would be going to its death.

Given its understanding of the Dao Yi Sect, those people are absolutely not to be provoked—touch them and you die.

In the past, it couldn't even escape the Dao Yi Sect, fleeing all the way from Black Tiger Abyss to Huling.

Last time, Zhi Hu Demon King had me go for the handover; that time I was lucky and managed to escape, so Sha Hu swore never to have anything to do with the Dao Yi Sect again.

But now, the Clan Chief still wants me to go for the handover, and it's to the Buddhist realm, not Huling.

In Sha Hu's view, this is no different from letting me go to my death.

Seeing Sha Hu remain silent, Ba Hu furrowed his brows and said.

"How come, you're not willing?"

Hearing that, Sha Hu hurriedly replied respectfully.

"No, I just feel this matter is of great importance; wouldn't it be more appropriate to send a Demon King? After all, I'm merely a lowly primordial demon, I'm afraid..."

Wanting to shirk responsibility, but before he could finish speaking, a group of Demon Kings angrily shouted at him.

"Impudent, how dare you disobey the Clan Chief's order?"

"I think this person has no place for our tiger clan in his heart; just kill him."

"Exactly, making obstacles over such a trivial matter."

All the Tiger Demon Kings instantly became agitated, each shouting to give Sha Hu a hard time; seeing this, Sha Hu stood there dazed.

"No, I didn't say anything; why are you all acting like you've had your tail stepped on?"

"Indeed, it's like stepping on your tail; after all, if you don't go, are we really supposed to let them go?"

As for this matter, the Demon Kings are obviously unwilling to go; otherwise, it wouldn't be Sha Hu's turn.

"I had you come here precisely for this; now you're saying you won't go?"

Fearing Ba Hu might change his mind, the Demon Kings grew increasingly agitated.

Fortunately, with Zhi Hu Demon King present, Ba Hu did not change his mind.

"Alright, everyone shut up."

With a low growl from Ba Hu, the Demon Kings finally shut their mouths, their gazes once again falling on Sha Hu.

"Rest assured about this matter; I've already spoken with Hong Zun—you just go to receive the demons, there won't be any danger."

Heh..........

Hearing this, Sha Hu snorted coldly inside: "No problem? You and Hong Zun have already settled this?"

With Hong Zun's slippery, greedy character, can his words be trusted? Whoever believes him will die.

Not much danger? This trip will surely be a near-death experience.

However, Ba Hu didn't give Sha Hu another chance to refuse, and directly made the decision.

"This is settled then; get ready and depart. If you need to bring how many demons, just tell Zhi Hu."

"If you can handle this matter well, I'll give you a chance to enter the Ancestral Pool."

It wasn't all oppression; Ba Hu also promised benefits.

The Ancestral Pool, for all tiger clans, is a place they dream of.

Because this place not only allows rapid cultivation advancement, but also purifies the tiger clan's bloodline, enabling ordinary bloodline tiger clans to evolve into higher bloodline tiger clans.

Even among the tiger clans there is a saying that whoever can enter the Ancestral Pool, as long as they don't die afterward, will surely become a Demon King.

Not all Demon Kings have entered the Ancestral Pool, but those who have entered it eventually became tiger clan Demon Kings.

Unfortunately, the Ancestral Pool is precious and rarely opens; only those who have rendered great merit receive such a reward.

Such a great reward even made Sha Hu's eyes light up; the Ancestral Pool—if he succeeds, he can enter it, giving him a chance to become a Demon King.

But this brilliance was only a fleeting flash, soon dissipating.

Seems tempting, but one also needs to have the life to enjoy it; whether one can return from this trip is unknown, especially if falling into the hands of the Dao Yi Sect.

Never mind the Ancestral Pool; even if it were the Heavenly Pool, it would be useless.

Unfortunately, Ba Hu didn't give Sha Hu another chance to refuse; once his words fell, he let the demons disperse.

Sha Hu followed Zhi Hu Demon King to its Dong Fu; seeing Sha Hu already looking deathly, Zhi Hu Demon King calmly said.

"Speak up, what help do you need, and how many demons do you want to bring?"

Hearing that, Sha Hu glanced at Zhi Hu Demon King and weakly said a sentence.

"Ten Demon Kings?"

"If you want to die, I can grant that right now."

Bringing ten Demon Kings? Heck, if you had ten Demon Kings, what would you need to go for? This is nonsense.

Sha Hu himself knew it was impossible; in the end, he merely brought over a hundred demon beasts and set out.

Watching Sha Hu's party depart, Zhi Hu Demon King secretly sighed.

"Bai Hu probably won't come back."

Earlier, Zhi Hu Demon King indeed wanted to save Bai Hu, but as time passed and with understanding of the Dao Yi Sect...

Zhi Hu Demon King's hope grew ever slimmer; retrieving what fell into the Dao Yi Sect's hands is extremely difficult, especially since it's that Hong Zun.

If it were any other peak of the Dao Yi Sect, it would be easier to say, but it's that Divine Sword Peak.

Unaware of the tiger clan's actions, at this moment, Putuo Temple, the Dao Yi Sect's station, after Awakened Heart successfully reforged the Buddhist heart, immediately joined the Mighty Eating Army.

Seeing him eat with oil dripping from his mouth, yet his Buddhist heart utterly unaffected, Ye Zhangqing also admired him greatly.

The Buddhist heart of this Fomen high monk was so easily reforged, which is also unexpected.

Also, the disciples of Putuo Temple—even the abbot joined the Mighty Eating Army; they naturally became even more reckless.

The number of people coming kept increasing, while the cattle in the cowshed kept decreasing.

This left the few Menial Disciples in the cowshed frantic, but there was nothing they could do.

They told the steward, but the steward couldn't handle it; they reported to the elder, and the elder only said one sentence: everything remains as before.

That's easy to say, but can you actually come to the cowshed and take a look yourself?

These disciples, these elders—today one, tomorrow two—the cattle in the cowshed are about to run out.

No one knows where they've taken these cattle; anyway, it's just like a bottomless pit—once you lead them away, they never come back.

After eating, Hong Zun and a few others were chatting in the backyard; among them were Abbot Juexin and Monk Jueming, these two monk brothers, whom Hong Zun had invited over.

Ye Zhangqing and the others beside him looked at Hong Zun and knew he was up to something again; after all, if you want to eat at the Dao Yi Sect, you have to contribute something—how could it be otherwise?

All they heard was Hong Zun looking at Abbot Juexin, smiling, as he said:

"Congratulations, Abbot Juexin, on recasting your Buddha-heart."

"Friend Hong Zun, you're too polite."

"Ah, this is a joyous occasion, naturally worthy of congratulations; besides, from now on the abbot can come to our Dao Yi Sect to eat without any scruples."

"Thank you, Friend Hong Zun."

"The abbot's coming, our Dao Yi Sect will surely welcome him; but there are too many people, the daily consumption of provisions is not small, and besides this is Putuo Temple—our Dao Yi Sect disciples find it hard to move around, so regarding provisions, Abbot, you..............."

You don't even need to finish speaking; anyone can tell what Hong Zun means—since even Abbot Juexin has been dragged in, ordinary plough oxen certainly won't satisfy his appetite.
