Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2156 - Negotiating with the Demons

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Maitreya Buddha also seemed very embarrassed. The Demon Clan was an existence that valued practical benefits.

If they won against the Western Heaven but didn't gain any advantages, then for the Demon Clan, it would be no different from a defeat.

If they wanted to obtain benefits, they would have to occupy Jinping Prefecture and create conflict with Chu Hao and the Heavenly Court army, which would also be an unwise choice.

Just as he was feeling troubled, someone came in from outside to report.

"Report, Chu Hao has sent an envoy, requesting an audience!"

"Let him in!"

Maitreya Buddha agreed immediately because he didn't want any conflict with Chu Hao. Being able to negotiate was naturally what he desired.

Maitreya Buddha led his Demon Clan core members to the Heavenly Court's camp to negotiate with Chu Hao.

After sitting down in the central military tent where Chu Hao was, Maitreya Buddha spoke first.

"I wonder why the Hell God asked us to come here? How do you want to negotiate?"

Chu Hao looked at Maitreya Buddha and said directly.

"I hope the Demon Clan can give up Jinping Prefecture!"

Chu Hao's words immediately made the faces of the Demon Clan members darken, because giving up Jinping Prefecture would mean giving up their benefits.

Even Maitreya Buddha couldn't help but shake his head at Chu Hao's words.

"Chu Hao, you also know the situation of our Demon Clan. Our Demon Clan has made huge sacrifices in Jinping Prefecture.

If we give up Jinping Prefecture just like that, not to mention that we won't agree, even if we do agree, we won't be able to explain it to our subordinates."

Hearing Maitreya Buddha's refusal, Chu Hao was not surprised. He naturally knew that the Demon Clan would not easily give up.

"You Demon Clan want Jinping Prefecture, firstly because it is a land of sin, and secondly because you want to occupy a long-term base in Xiniu Hezhou.

Am I right about this?"

Chu Hao said to Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Clan members. He naturally understood the Demon Clan's thoughts.

"That's right!"

Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Clan members all nodded.

"Now that Jinping Prefecture City has been destroyed and the people of Jinping Prefecture have severed ties with the Western Heaven and belong to our Heavenly Court, this land of sin no longer exists. Your Demon Clan's first goal cannot be achieved no matter what."

Maitreya Buddha and the others naturally saw this, and Jinping Prefecture had suffered successive disasters, leaving only one or two tenths of the population.

Therefore, the goal of using Jinping Prefecture to cultivate the Demon Clan's Sacred Fire had actually failed for them.

"But occupying Jinping Prefecture still has benefits for us."

Although Maitreya Buddha admitted that what Chu Hao said was true, he still didn't change his attitude.

"Then let's talk about the second point. Do you know why the Western Heaven suddenly retreated?"

Chu Hao asked Maitreya Buddha and the others.

In fact, Maitreya Buddha and the others were also very puzzled by the sudden retreat of the Western Heaven. It was clear that the Western Heaven was on the verge of victory, but the Tathagata Buddha suddenly sent people to order them to retreat, which was very illogical.

"If you don't know, I can tell you that a large number of demons have poured into the Western Heaven."

Hearing Chu Hao say this, Maitreya Buddha immediately understood.

The demons escaped from the North Sea Eye, and Chu Hao led his army to the North Sea. These were not secrets, and Maitreya Buddha and the others knew them very well.

The demons that poured into the land of the Western Heaven were naturally the giant demons and devils from the Sea Eye, and Chu Hao naturally had a hand in this.

"Now, the Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin are busy subduing demons. Isn't this a great opportunity for your Demon Clan?

Moreover, with me in Jinping Prefecture, your Demon Clan has no chance to occupy Jinping Prefecture at all. Instead of wasting time here, why not go and reap greater benefits?

You can think about it carefully, but I must remind you that if you don't seize this opportunity, you may not have it again in the future."

Chu Hao's meaning was very clear, and Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Clan members understood it.

This was indeed a great opportunity for the Demon Clan, and Maitreya Buddha couldn't help but look at the Demon Clan members.

"If the land of the Western Heaven is in chaos, it would be an excellent choice for us to take the opportunity to attack."

"Jinping Prefecture is only a corner of the world after all. We can reap more benefits in other places."

"The Western Heaven has killed so many of our people. This is a good opportunity for revenge."

The Demon Clan members discussed animatedly, but they had obviously all agreed with Chu Hao's words, and felt that attacking the Western Heaven at this time was a better choice.

"Hell God is indeed brilliant, turning the conflict between us into nothing with just a few words. We are willing to accept the Hell God's suggestion.

We can give up the land of Jinping Prefecture, so rest assured, Lord Hell God."

Maitreya Buddha said to Chu Hao.

"In this matter, your Demon Clan can be said to owe me a favor, because I provided you with this opportunity."

Chu Hao smiled and said to Maitreya Buddha and the others.

Maitreya Buddha and the others naturally knew very well that Chu Hao had helped them a lot by driving those demons to the Western Heaven.

If it weren't for this, the situation of the Demon Clan's war with the Western Heaven would not have been reversed, and the Demon Clan would not have had this great opportunity to attack the Western Heaven.

"Thank you for the Hell God's help. Our Demon Clan is clear about gratitude and grudges. We do owe you a favor. If the Hell God needs help, we can help."

Maitreya Buddha said to Chu Hao.

The other members of the Demon Clan naturally had no objections to this. If it weren't for Chu Hao, they were afraid that they didn't know what the Demon Clan would have been like in that battle, and it was possible that the entire army would have been wiped out.

After a negotiation with the Demon Clan, Chu Hao not only made the Demon Clan take the initiative to give up Jinping Prefecture, but also directed the Demon Clan's anger towards the Western Heaven.

He also made the Demon Clan owe Chu Hao a favor, so that he could use the Demon Clan's power for his own use in the future.

Chu Hao's was a triple win, and they gained a lot.

Maitreya Buddha led the Demon Clan army to withdraw from Jinping Prefecture, and began to gather the Demon Clan's strength, preparing to launch an attack on the Western Heaven.

And Chu Hao also began to carry out his next plan in Jinping Prefecture.

"Now that the Western Heaven can't take care of this place, and the problem of the Demon Clan has been solved, the next step is to rebuild Jinping Prefecture City."

Chu Hao discussed with Tang Seng and the others.

After the Western Heaven and the Demon Clan's turmoil, Jinping Prefecture is now basically a mess and full of ruins.

There are still hundreds of thousands of people here. If it cannot be rebuilt as soon as possible, the people's food and drink will become a problem, let alone their future survival.

And now is a great opportunity to rebuild Jinping Prefecture City, and the rebuilt Jinping Prefecture City will completely change this land of sin.
