Chapter 515: Bajie's Sacrifice

Beiming, Demon Master Palace.

On the black iron demon Hashira, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Xiaobailong had been tied up for over half a month; were they unable to move?

They had assumed Xuanzang would come to save his disciples soon, but they never expected that they wouldn't even see a shadow of him.

"Old Kun, is this your plan?" Dijun could not help but say.

Kunpeng's expression was awkward, and he said, "Lord Dijun, perhaps Xuanzang encountered something and was delayed on the road. You know how it is, those who have left the secular world are extremely dawdling in their actions."

"I hope so," Dijun snorted coldly.

"Is there a possibility that the old master won't come at all?" Zhu Bajie said loudly.

"What did you say?" Kunpeng looked over, his sharp gaze making Bajie's heart beat wildly.

"Kunpeng Old Ancestor, you might not know this. That Baigujing is a disciple the master took in just a few days ago, ranked sixth, and she was originally a great demon without much in the way of principles.

Now that we are all tied up, I reckon Baigujing is afraid of being blamed by the master and doesn't know where to hide. The master has no idea about this matter at all," Bajie explained.

It had to be said that Bajie's brain was still very sharp.

"Tang Sanzang doesn't know about this?" Kunpeng's eyes flickered; it seemed what Zhu Bajie said made some sense.

"So, let us go, Kunpeng Old Ancestor," Bajie pleaded.

"Let you go?" Kunpeng looked hesitant.

"That's right, let us go, and we will go find the master; wouldn't you be able to find him then, Kunpeng Old Ancestor?" Bajie said hurriedly.

"Bajie, what are you saying? I didn't expect you to actually want to harm the master."

Sun Wukong scolded him angrily; although he was tied up, he still struggled to lift his foot and kick Zhu Bajie in the rear.

"You dead monkey, if a pig doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. We can't just die here. I don't want to die; Cuilan is still waiting for me at Gao Village."

Bajie said loudly, and in turn, kicked Sun Wukong.

This made Sun Wukong explode with anger!

"Second Senior Brother, I am ashamed of you, ptooey!" Xiaobailong said seriously, and spat.

"Brother Bajie, although we aren't human, we should still have a conscience," Heixiong sighed.

"Conscience, what use is a conscience! We're all going to die, and we can't do anything!" Bajie scolded angrily.

Kunpeng found this scene very interesting, so he asked Dijun:

"Lord, what do you think?"

"Then let them go; these little demons are of no use staying here anyway," Dijun said.

"Fine."

Kunpeng slowly walked in front of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie and said:

"Lord Dijun wants to let you go; you are truly lucky."

"Is that so? Hurry up and let us go," Bajie said excitedly.

Kunpeng, however, shook his head and said, "Tianpeng, except for you, they can all leave."

"Why?" Bajie asked deliberately.

"In my life, I hate those who are treacherous, disloyal, and dishonest the most," Kunpeng said righteously.

"..."

Dijun looked up at Kunpeng, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi also opened his eyes; they were impressed by Kunpeng, this Diliu.

"So, Old Ancestor, you want to...?" Bajie said, trembling.

"The Old Ancestor wants you to go into the oil cauldron, place your Primordial Spirit in the depths of Beiming, and suffer the torment of yin energy devouring your body day and night," Kunpeng said.

Bajie panicked upon hearing this and retorted:

"Kunpeng Old Ancestor, I, Old Zhu, have not been treacherous, disloyal, or dishonest. On the contrary, it was you who betrayed the two Demon Emperor lords back then. As far as I know, if the Zhou Tian Star Formation had the River Map and Luo Book as the formation eye, it would have been impossible to lose.

It was you who defected in the face of battle; it was you who were treacherous, disloyal, and dishonest."

Kunpeng feared nothing more than others bringing up the past; he was instantly furious, murderous intent rose, and he raged:

"What did you say? Go to hell!"

Kunpeng Claw transformed into the sharpest divine weapon in this world and slapped toward Bajie's head. If nothing unexpected happened, in the next second, Bajie's head would be smashed to pieces.

"Bajie!" Sun Wukong widened his eyes.

But at the last moment, a golden light blocked the Kunpeng Claw, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Dijun both Teleported to the front.

Dijun said unpleasantly:

"Kunpeng, isn't what this Zhu Bajie said correct? Killing a pig to silence him, that's just like you."

Kunpeng was timid and said weakly, "Brother Dong, Brother Di, this is slander. I didn't flee from battle; I was preserving the seeds for our Demon Race to make a comeback, right?"

"Stop talking. If it weren't for you being a deserter back then, maybe the Three Realms would be ours now. Thinking of this, my mind is not at peace," Dijun said.

"Bind him, brother!"

Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi extended his arms, which transformed into Great Dao Locks, tightly binding Kunpeng.

And Dijun quickly beat Kunpeng, pummeling him until his face was bruised and swollen.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Xiaobailong were stunned seeing this scene?

"Stop hitting!"

"Oh... Awoo!"

"Brother Di, Brother Dong, don't!"

"Don't hit the face!"

"That's the chrysanthemum!"

Half a quarter of an hour later, under the ruthless ravaging of Eastern Emperor and Dijun, Kunpeng's aura was already withered.

"Ah Kun, don't blame us. You need to take responsibility for the sins of the Demon Race; what's wrong with getting a good beating? Right?" Dijun said.

"Yes, yes, yes," Kunpeng said hurriedly.

"Um, Lord Emperor, can you let us go now?" Bajie said.

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Bajie and said:

"They can leave, but you cannot."

"Why?" Bajie asked again, doubting his life.

However, Donghuang Taiyi did not answer and went back to closing his eyes to rest his mind.

With a wave of his large hand, Kunpeng made Sun Wukong, Xiaobailong, and Heixiong all disappear.

"Sigh," Bajie could not help but sigh.

"What, seeing your fellow disciples leave, are you feeling envious and regretful?" Kunpeng said with a sleazy grin.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Bajie said calmly:

"Grandmaster Kunpeng, although the longer one lives, the higher their magic power, wisdom does not necessarily increase."

"What do you mean by that, you pig-head?" Kunpeng said.

"Can't you tell, old Kun? He said that on purpose just now to stir up your curiosity so you would let Sun Wukong go," Dijun said.

"..." Kunpeng.

"Although I, Zhu Bajie, am not some great person, I am not so selfless as to sacrifice myself. But if I hadn't acted at that moment, everyone would have been finished, sigh," Bajie sighed.

He had not said those previous words on purpose. Rather, he had analyzed the personalities of Kunpeng and the others to attract their attention.

And to tell the truth, if Master did not come.

Capturing them here was truly useless; they had no value at all to the Three Demon Emperors.

Kunpeng knew he had been played, and although he was displeased, he still said:

"Tianpeng, do you think your master and Sun Wukong will come to save you?"

"Probably not. After all, in their eyes, I am a selfish pig who is afraid of death. It is not worth offending you Three Demon Emperors for the sake of such a person," Bajie said calmly.

"Tsk tsk, what a good scheme," Kunpeng praised.

He had not expected this Tianpeng to be full of blubber, yet also full of tricks.
