Chapter 1468: Chapter 656: Buddha and the Vessel (Part 2)
...
Boom!
The Thunder Cloud cast a flickering light on General Pan standing on the city wall.
What his eyes saw was the maddened scene of the entire Thunder City.
"General."
The strategist calmly reported: "All artifacts have been delivered, the Ten Pillars of Thunder City are connected, the array is complete."
"Hmm."
General Pan merely responded with a sound, not even glancing at the person beside him.
Awaiting behind was Jinfang Zai, feeling extremely apprehensive.
Since the appearance of the red thundercloud over Thunder City, the general had suddenly leapt onto the city wall to observe the situation inside. But he, a Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, could do nothing, could say nothing, merely waited quietly beside to minimize his presence.
"Is the General concerned for the city dwellers? As long as the General gives the command, we are willing to fight for the General, risking our lives, slaughtering all demons within the city!"
The strategist continued speaking, but General Pan merely glanced sideways at him calmly.
"You know what I am thinking, and you know what I can do and cannot do."
Saying so, he did not wait for the strategist to speak again, as he already jumped from the city wall, landing on the Pig Demon mount.
"Come down, we should set off."
The strategist smiled slightly, also jumping down from the city wall, returning to the army.
"That largest Buddha Body Demon already has the semblance of a true Buddha, doesn’t the General worry?"
The rotund General coldly watched him, turning the Pig Demon towards the city wall.
"In this remote place, it’s good enough for a demon to understand the Buddha Finger. They cannot even cultivate the Buddha’s Hand which connects the hearts of ten fingers, yet dream of soaring to the heavens, how laughable."
"Does the General mean... to ignore it?"
"You don’t understand. It cannot become a Buddha, nor is it possible! Every Great Demon transforms step by step into a human in their cultivation, then reverts back to their true form as a true Buddha. The cultivation of mind alone is not something these twisted fast-track creatures can compare to; self-destruction is just a matter of time. Let alone those existences, throughout the Da Xia Dynasty, they are few and far between. The monsters within Thunder City, relying on the Sky-reaching Pillar to defy the heavens, are simply delusional!"
The strategist’s realm was far inferior to the General, naturally not as thoroughly understanding as the General, yet understood vaguely that the Buddha Demon in Thunder City was not a true Buddha Demon.
As for the calamity from Thunder.
Having followed the army for years, he was accustomed to life and death, having experienced city massacres once; the mere chaos of demons did not concern him.
Furthermore, exhausting the army’s power here would diminish their chances in the Demon Capital’s battle!
One of the deputy generals within the army, at this time holding an artifact, spoke with a smile: "The strategist is kind-hearted, unable to bear the suffering of the people. Yet, in the vast world, those we can save are ultimately few. If the demon monsters in the Demon Capital rise, it would not be just one Thunder City at stake, but ten, a hundred Thunder Cities, massacred by demon monsters, countless people dying at the hands of demon monsters. Therefore, true benevolence lies in following the General, leveling the Demon Capital, ridding the world of great harm!"
The strategist shot a sidelong glance at the deputy general but said no more, only issuing the order for the entire army to start off facing away from Thunder City.
He was not truly good, merely someone has to play the "good cop" while someone plays the "bad cop."
The General liked to be headstrong but also needed a reputation, and he was just a pawn dancing in the General’s hand.
Snap!!
Only to see General Pan slapping heavily on the Pig Demon’s body.
The Pig Demon then galloped forward frantically, suddenly coming to the forefront of the army, turn their back on Thunder City, racing ahead.
And beside him, the deputy generals holding five artifacts raised their artifacts high, resonating with the one brought from the Capital held high by the strategist.
Rumble!!
Behind, the thunderclouds over Thunder City roared, as if attracted by something.
The entire thundercloud emitted intense crackling sounds, booming thunder, followed by a gathering power, continuously glowing clouds, brewing immense thunder, directly striking into the army outside the city.
"Are you ready! Soldiers!"
General Pan shouted sharply.
"Kill!!!"
His response was the synchronized roar of the entire army.
"Good! Then follow me... to Tianyuan Town!!!"
Rumble!!!!
Rampaging thunder suddenly struck the entire army.
Six artifacts instantly shone with blinding light, resonating with the thunder, outlining a complex array, instantly covering the entire army.
In the stunned gaze of Jinfang Zai on the city wall.
Whistle!!!!
In an instant, the army outside the city, covered by the Thunder Light Array, vanished in the blink of an eye... the entire army gone!
"What... just happened?"
Jinfang Zai stared at all this, mouth agape.
That vast army, so numerous it could level the entire Thunder City, vanished without a trace in an instant!
Rumble...
Accompanied by the weakened rolling of thunder behind him, Jinfang Zai noticed the thundercloud over Thunder City shrank by half, as if drained of a lot of power, the thunder sound emitted seemed no longer so threatening.
...
Tianyuan Town.
Or rather... Demon Capital.
With Lord Lan ascending to the Demon Emperor’s throne, the entire Demon Capital progressed in a promising direction.
More and more demon monsters flooded into Demon Capital, the demon monster power grew stronger, expanding, and growing restless!
Yes, with more demon monsters, their thoughts became increasingly complex.
The Demon Capital enshrines such a massive demon monster quantity, merely expanding the Demon Capital can no longer satisfy their needs!
