#1859 - War Begins
The location of the Lesser Thunderclap Temple was extremely ingenious. It transformed the originally wide-open No Return Purgatory into an entrance accessible only to a select few, preventing tens of thousands of troops from entering together.
If the Demon Clan were to lie in wait at the entrance, the Demon Subjugation Army, even with twenty thousand soldiers, would be defeated one by one, ultimately leading to failure.
This was why Chu Hao insisted that Maitreya Buddha move the Lesser Thunderclap Temple.
It could be said that after both sides stated their bottom lines, it was inevitable that the negotiation would break down.
Unless someone was willing to back down.
Chu Hao wasn't the type to back down, but he was curious as to why Maitreya Buddha was so insistent, so he asked, "What exactly are you insisting on?"
Now that things had come to this, Maitreya Buddha no longer concealed anything from Chu Hao, and said directly, "The Lesser Thunderclap Temple hides my important trump card against Lingshan. If I move it rashly, all my previous plans will be in vain."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Chu Hao's face.
"Are you sure? What is it?" Chu Hao asked somewhat suspiciously.
Maitreya Buddha then put away his smile and said with a serious expression, "Lord Hell Warden, you know I have no need to deceive you."
"Then what about the Demon Clan army? Are you demonstrating?" Chu Hao asked.
"Not demonstrating, just increasing the bargaining chips," Maitreya Buddha said, emphasizing each word.
Chu Hao sized him up, listening to his firm tone, and sneered, "It seems you can't back down."
"I can't back down," Maitreya Buddha's words seemed decisive.
"Then I'm very curious whether the Demon Clan army can compare to the Divine and Buddha Allied Army under my command," Chu Hao said with a faint smile.
Seeing Chu Hao's insistence, a hint of displeasure flashed across Maitreya Buddha's face: "Lord Hell Warden, do you really want to do this?"
"There's no choice, so many eyes are watching," Chu Hao said in a low voice.
Seeing that Chu Hao didn't back down at all, Maitreya Buddha also became angry and said directly, "If you don't want to back down, then don't. I'll see if you can continue to extort Lingshan without me."
These words made Chu Hao's lips curl into a smile: "How about this, I can back down, but what are the benefits?"
"I knew it, as long as you back down, I can agree to any benefits," Maitreya Buddha said, as if he had seen through Chu Hao.
"It's very simple, I heard your 'Human Seed Bag' is quite good?" Chu Hao finally revealed his purpose.
Maitreya Buddha didn't expect that Chu Hao actually wanted his Human Seed Bag.
He hesitated, after all, if such a treasure was handed over casually, it would be a huge blow to his combat power.
Chu Hao also had his own thoughts on this. In his opinion, this incident was very important to Maitreya Buddha, so he was "asking for the moon."
Seeing the hesitant expression on Maitreya Buddha's face, Chu Hao knew that his request might succeed.
So he was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for Maitreya Buddha's answer.
"Are you sure you want my Human Seed Bag?" Maitreya Buddha confirmed again.
"Of course, you can also not give it," Chu Hao said with a confident look.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little quiet. Chu Hao was waiting, while Maitreya Buddha remained silent.
The two sides seemed to be deadlocked, and neither of them spoke.
About half a minute later, Maitreya Buddha finally chose to compromise: "I agree to your request."
Chu Hao quickly took it in his hand, weighed it, felt a surge of power, and put it away with great satisfaction.
"Now that you have obtained the Human Seed Bag, you can leave, right?" Maitreya Buddha said indifferently.
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing," Chu Hao said.
"What's the matter?" Maitreya Buddha's face, which was about to show a smile, suddenly froze. He thought the other party was going to go back on his word.
"Relax, it's nothing," Chu Hao smiled slightly, looking at Maitreya Buddha's nervous appearance.
Then, he continued: "If we suddenly retreat like this, Lingshan will not agree, so the war must continue."
"Ah?" Maitreya Buddha looked surprised.
Chu Hao walked up to Maitreya Buddha and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Tell the Demon Clan army, the acting must continue. Don't you want to weaken the combat power of the Buddhist Sect?"
These words aroused Maitreya Buddha's interest. The look in his eyes towards Chu Hao also changed, and he immediately asked in a low voice, "What's your plan?"
Outside, Baoguang Buddha and Nezha and other elites watched the two people being shrouded, completely unaware of what they were talking about.
"What do you think this Hell Warden is discussing with that Maitreya Buddha?" On the Buddhist side, Qingjing Buddha asked Baoguang Buddha.
"I don't know either, but now that the war is imminent and the Demon Clan is showing such momentum, I don't think that Hell Warden will back down."
"That's right, so many eyes are watching," Qingjing Buddha nodded.
Just as the two were talking, in the obscured place, the power dissipated, and the two reappeared.
"Chu Hao, since you insist on doing this, then don't blame me for being impolite," Maitreya Buddha suddenly said angrily.
"Humph, my Divine and Buddha Army will never be threatened, just come at us," Chu Hao shouted loudly, looking somewhat angry.
It's just that this anger, in the eyes of his subordinates, seemed more like acting.
"Look, the boss is acting again," Taikoo Tianying transmitted a voice to his companion next to him.
"Then are we still going to take action?" A god asked in a low voice.
"Of course not, we have to act again at that time, just wait," Taikoo Tianying transmitted a voice.
Nezha next to him also realized that Chu Hao's affected appearance was to inform the people of the Law Enforcement Hall, so he also quietly transmitted a voice to his subordinates, asking them to transmit it to the gods of the Heavenly Court.
As for Lingshan, Baoguang Buddha and others were overjoyed when they saw the two suddenly start scolding each other. They were worried that the two had no conflicts.
"Chu Hao, you're courting death," Maitreya Buddha shouted loudly, and then began to order the Demon Clan army: "Kill them for me."
"Humph, brothers, follow me and kill them," Chu Hao also ordered.
The mighty armies of both sides charged towards each other, as if two torrents collided together. Among this army, the gods of the Heavenly Court were obviously half a beat slower, but if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
There were also some experts who were good at long-range attacks, who stood in the distance and began to cast formations and some large-scale range divine powers.
Chu Hao didn't need to dispatch them at all. These experts were already familiar with the road and began to cooperate closely to meet the enemy.
Of course, those who took action were still some small fries. The real top experts, such as Baoguang Buddha and Chu Hao, were watching quietly, waiting for the arrival of the final battle.
After all, war is never accomplished overnight, it takes time.
