Chapter 155: Leveling the Lion Camel Ridge, Declaring War on Spirit Mountain

Just as the White Elephant's attack was about to land, a mocking smile appeared on the face of Lei Zhenzi.

In the next instant, a massive amount of lightning suddenly erupted from Lei Zhenzi's body, wrapping around him and transforming him into a ball of thunder.

When the White Elephant's long trunk landed on Lei Zhenzi, it was immediately met with a counterattack from the lightning, and a burnt, charred smell instantly reached Lei Zhenzi's nose.

Soon, the others also smelled this charred scent.

Following the smell of burning came the White Elephant's shrill scream. Although the White Elephant's trunk was his most powerful offensive weapon, it was also his most vulnerable part; when encountering an attack far exceeding his own strength, this was the inevitable result.

Lei Zhenzi did not give the White Elephant a chance to react. Almost at the same moment the White Elephant screamed, Lei Zhenzi arrived at his side and smashed the Wind-Thunder Staff in his hand heavily onto his head.

With another loud boom, the White Elephant followed in the footsteps of the Green Lion.

Seeing the fates of the Green Lion and the White Elephant, Huang Feihu let go of the worry in his heart, and subsequently led an army of two hundred thousand toward the Lion Camel Kingdom.

This eight-hundred-mile Lion Camel Ridge was divided into two parts: one was the Lion Camel Ridge here, and the other was the Lion Camel Kingdom, which was the place where Jin Peng resided.

This Jin Peng was not the Golden-Winged Great Peng, but a golden eagle possessing the bloodline of Kunpeng. During the Great War of the Lich, this Jin Peng accidentally obtained a drop of Kunpeng's essence blood. After cultivating, he became Jin Peng, and later, upon leaving the mountains, he encountered the Tathagata who was about to attain Buddhahood and swallowed him into his belly.

After the Tathagata broke out of this Jin Peng's belly and finally attained Buddhahood, he regarded this Jin Peng as the Buddha-Mother. In reality, this Jin Peng was following the same path that Kong Xuan had taken in Pan Huang's past life, but the Tathagata did not confer a Buddha position upon Jin Peng, so he spent his days idle.

Finally, as the Journey to the West Great Calamity approached, the Tathagata thought to have Jin Peng add a tribulation to the scripture-seeking journey, and from then on, he never bothered with Jin Peng again.

When Huang Feihu arrived at the Lion Camel Kingdom, the scene before his eyes actually gave him an impression of prosperity, yet the city was filled entirely with demons. It had to be said that this was truly a form of irony.

"Kill!" Because there were no humans in the city, Huang Feihu did not hesitate and directly issued the order to slaughter.

Upon receiving Huang Feihu's order, those Holy Court soldiers rushed into the Lion Camel Kingdom in a swarm.

After rushing into the Lion Camel Kingdom, the Holy Court soldiers carried out an indiscriminate massacre, for the city was filled with demons, and there was simply no need to show any restraint.

Were there any good demons in this city? There certainly were, but once, this city had also been filled with good people, yet they had still died.

Jin Peng knew the moment the Holy Court warriors rushed into the city, which caused his expression to instantly turn gloomy.

"How bold! To actually dare to attack this King's Lion Camel Kingdom." Jin Peng snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he had already donned his armor and taken up his weapon.

The next second, Jin Peng appeared on the city wall of the Lion Camel Kingdom. When he appeared on the wall, the first thing he saw was Huang Feihu; his heart tightened for a moment, but then it returned to normal.

"I wondered who it was; so it's people from the Holy Court. Why aren't you staying properly in the Holy Court, and instead running to this King's Lion Camel Kingdom?" Jin Peng looked at Huang Feihu with a relaxed expression, a faint smile rising on his face.

"I hope you can maintain this state in a moment." Huang Feihu said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with rage.

During the time Jin Peng and Huang Feihu were speaking, the Holy Court warriors had already gone on a killing spree in the Lion Camel Kingdom, and they were currently advancing toward the direction of the royal palace.

Seeing this scene, a flash of anger crossed Jin Peng's eyes. The royal palace was Jin Peng's residence and also the seat of his face; if he let the Holy Court soldiers enter the royal palace, there would be no need for him, Jin Peng, to continue mixing in the Primordial World.

"Want to leave? Have you asked this General?" Seeing that Jin Peng wanted to leave, Huang Feihu snorted coldly, and with a flash, he blocked his path.

"Get lost. Others might fear your Holy Court, but I do not." Jin Peng snorted coldly, brandishing the long spear in his hand, preparing to beat Huang Feihu back.

But was Huang Feihu so easily beaten back? The two of them were equal in strength, but Huang Feihu possessed combat experience far exceeding Jin Peng's; Jin Peng was simply no match for Huang Feihu.

After one or two hundred rounds, Jin Peng fell into a disadvantage and was defeated by Huang Feihu. However, Huang Feihu did not kill Jin Peng, but instead bound him up.

Seeing this, Jin Peng thought Huang Feihu was wary of the power behind him, and he became even more arrogant.

"Hahaha, if you have the ability, kill me? Otherwise, once I am free, I will recreate the scene of the ancient Demon Court slaughtering the human race." Jin Peng remained as defiant as ever.

"Very good, I hope you keep this state forever." Seeing Jin Peng like this, Huang Feihu said with a smile.

Not long after Jin Peng was captured, the entire Lion Camel Kingdom was slaughtered by the Holy Court. Seeing this, Jin Peng's eyes were filled with rage. He thought to himself that once the reinforcements from Spirit Mountain arrived, he would definitely make these people witness his methods.

"Retreat!" After annihilating the Lion Camel Kingdom, Huang Feihu said, and then headed straight for Spirit Mountain.

Seeing this scene, a cold sneer appeared on Jin Peng's face. Going to Spirit Mountain? Spirit Mountain was his backyard; even the Tathagata had to call him Buddha-Mother. Who in the entire Spirit Mountain wouldn't give him some face?

On the way, Huang Feihu met Lei Zhenzi and Nezha. Seeing the Green Lion and White Elephant in their hands, Huang Feihu nodded.

"How is the eight-hundred-mile Lion Camel Ridge now?" Huang Feihu asked.

"We have already sent the souls of those humans to reincarnation; from now on, there is no more eight-hundred-mile Lion Camel Ridge." Nezha looked at the three of them—Jin Peng and the others—and said coldly.

"Hmm! Then next is Spirit Mountain." Huang Feihu nodded.

When they arrived at Spirit Mountain, Wen Zhong was still in a standoff with the Tathagata and the others. Seeing Huang Feihu and the others, a smile appeared on Wen Zhong's face, but the expressions of the Tathagata and the others changed drastically, because they saw the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and Jin Peng.

"Something big is going to happen!" The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face instantly vanished.

Regarding Jin Peng's temperament, no one knew it better than the people of Spirit Mountain. This Jin Peng was originally just an ordinary golden eagle demon. By a stroke of luck, he obtained Kunpeng's essence blood, and immediately went into seclusion.

When he came out of seclusion, he met the Tathagata and was then conferred the title of Buddha-Mother. His mindset inflated rapidly after being conferred as Buddha-Mother, to the point where he didn't even put the Tathagata in his eyes. This time, it must have involved something, otherwise, the Holy Court could not have mobilized such a large force. The troops behind Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu had already reached one million. Since the establishment of the Holy Court, this was the first time they had dispatched soldiers of such a scale.

"Do you recognize these three demons?" Huang Feihu looked at the Tathagata and asked coldly.

"Tathagata, save me, save me! Kill them all, I order you to kill them all." Upon seeing the Tathagata, a flash of surprise crossed Jin Peng's face, and then he shouted out.

Upon hearing Jin Peng's words, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Spirit Mountain lowered their heads in unison. Shameful, this was truly too shameful. Did this Jin Peng not understand the situation? Still wanting to kill them? They had a million-strong army behind them, and with Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and others leading them, leveling Spirit Mountain would be quite easy.

"It seems you recognize them, then let me tell you the purpose of our arrival here today." Huang Feihu said, squinting his eyes, the cold light in his eyes undisguised.

Next, Huang Feihu described the scene at the eight-hundred-mile Lion Camel Ridge, and then recounted the words Jin Peng had said to him earlier.

"Since the destruction of the ancient Demon Court, there are actually still demons who dare to wantonly slaughter the human race, and even imprison their souls. You tell me, should such demons be killed?" Huang Feihu looked at the Tathagata and the others.

Upon hearing Huang Feihu's words, the Tathagata and the others gasped, followed by anger—anger toward the three of them, Jin Peng and his companions.

How stupid must one be to do such a thing? Well, this Jin Peng was indeed quite stupid.

"You all know the reason now; do you have anything to say?" Wen Zhong stepped forward, looked at the Tathagata and the others, and asked indifferently.

"Tathagata, hurry and save me. Wasn't this something you told me to do? You told me that doing this would earn merit, otherwise I would never have done it. Hurry and save me, I order you to hurry and save me." Before the Tathagata could speak, Jin Peng spoke again.

His words caused the Holy Court members, led by Wen Zhong, to immediately release killing intent.

"Very good, so the root cause is here! Then there is nothing left to say. Let the war begin!" Huang Feihu said indifferently.

"All generals, take orders!" Wen Zhong directly raised his right hand.

The next second, the sound of countless armor plates rubbing against each other reached the ears of the people on Spirit Mountain.

"A misunderstanding, there is a misunderstanding here." Seeing this scene, the Medicine Master Glazed Buddha shouted out in terror.

In reality, they did not fear the Holy Court's soldiers at all, but just because they weren't afraid didn't mean the others on Spirit Mountain weren't!

"Kill! Leave none alive!" Wen Zhong ignored the Medicine Master's words entirely, and after speaking, he lowered his hand.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" After receiving the order, the Holy Court warriors behind them rushed toward the people of Spirit Mountain with bloodshot eyes.

Seeing this scene, the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and Jin Peng were all dumbfounded, especially Jin Peng.

"It's not like this, it's not like this at all. Isn't Spirit Mountain the number one power in the Primordial World? Doesn't Spirit Mountain have two Saints? Why? Why has it become like this? Tathagata, save me, save me! I am the Buddha-Mother, the Buddha-Mother!" Jin Peng was finally afraid at this moment, shouting loudly, but currently, no one would pay him any mind.

"Prepare for battle!" Seeing that the Holy Court warriors had already charged up, the Tathagata roared.

At this time, any explanation was futile; only after fighting a battle could they speak properly.

Just as the war between Spirit Mountain and the Holy Court began, Xuanzang, who had just come out of the Wuji Kingdom, suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at him with confusion.

"The fortune of Spirit Mountain has changed." Xuanzang looked at the crowd and said.

Although Xuanzang was hostile toward Spirit Mountain, in the end, he had not yet left Spirit Mountain, and he was still a key figure in the westward journey; he could still perceive the changes in Spirit Mountain's fortune.

"The change in Spirit Mountain's fortune shouldn't be a big deal, right? After all, Manjusri Bodhisattva died. He was one of the five great Bodhisattvas. Without Manjusri Bodhisattva, it is normal for Spirit Mountain's fortune to be turbulent." Yang Jian said.

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant that Spirit Mountain's fortune is showing signs of destruction." Xuanzang shook his head and then said.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became curious. Is there a possibility of Spirit Mountain being destroyed?

Just as everyone was curious, Yang Jian and Dapeng received a message from Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, saying that they were currently attacking Spirit Mountain and asking Yang Jian and Dapeng to go and help.

"I know the reason now." Dapeng said with a smile.

"The Holy Court is attacking Spirit Mountain. We don't know what's going on either, but the Holy Court has sent us a message, and we are preparing to go and see." Yang Jian said with a smile.

"Go!" Xuanzang nodded.

Then they stopped here. If Spirit Mountain were destroyed, there would be no need for them to seek the true scriptures. Thinking of this, Xuanzang felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, in addition to joy.

"It's a pity, you didn't die by my hands." Xuanzang looked toward the west and muttered to himself.

The Dark Abyss.

"No, the Tathagata can only die by my hands. No one else has the right to decide the Tathagata's life or death." After sensing the situation at Spirit Mountain, Kinnara roared.

However, he did not make a move. He was waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike. As long as the Tathagata was not dead, the others had nothing to do with him.

In Chaos, within the dojo of Jieyin and Zhunti, the two who were cultivating suddenly opened their eyes.

"What is going on? The fortune of the West has actually produced such intense turbulence." Jieyin asked with a frown.

Just as Zhunti was about to speak, they received news from Spirit Mountain.

"Saints, Saints, save me! The Holy Court is leading a million soldiers to attack Spirit Mountain. Spirit Mountain is about to be unable to hold on." The Tathagata's anxious voice reached the ears of Jieyin and Zhunti.

The two of them didn't even think, and directly projected their avatars onto Spirit Mountain.

When the phantom images of Jieyin and Zhunti appeared, some Holy Court soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were directly turned into flying ash.

"How bold, to actually dare to touch my Spirit Mountain orthodoxy, you deserve to die!" Zhunti looked at the Spirit Mountain stained red with blood, and the fewer than one hundred Bodhisattvas and Arhats remaining, and was instantly enraged.

"Saint Zhunti, you had better understand the situation here before choosing to act. We humans are not without Saints either." Wen Zhong looked at Zhunti and said coldly.

"Are you threatening this monk?" Zhunti laughed out of extreme anger.

"Not at all!" Wen Zhong shook his head.

Hearing Wen Zhong say this, Zhunti dissipated his magic power. Their true bodies were not in the Primordial World, but Pan Huang's was truly in the Primordial World. If they dared to act recklessly, Pan Huang would not only strike down their phantom images, but might also come directly into Chaos to fight them.

Therefore, Zhunti prepared to endure for now, and wait until he understood the situation before deciding.

After a few breaths, Zhunti knew the ins and outs of the matter, and Jieyin also knew the ins and outs. This made the expressions of the two of them very ugly.

Wantonly slaughtering the human race had not happened since the destruction of the ancient Demon Court. Unexpectedly, such a thing was being staged again, and it was led by people from Spirit Mountain. They simply had no justification at all.

"Saint Zhunti, do you still choose to act?" Wen Zhong looked at Zhunti and asked.

"This matter was indeed done incorrectly by my Spirit Mountain, but you humans have a saying: only punish the chief culprit. You can deal with the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and Jin Peng yourselves. You have already killed many of my Spirit Mountain people, so stop while you are ahead." Jieyin spoke at this moment.
