Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 456 - 229 Trap

The Spider Demons looked resentfully at Tang Monk and his disciples for one last time before turning their heads and racing towards the direction of the Yellow Flower Temple.

Lu Yu hadn't stayed long in the Bilam Po cave when he heard the monkey's shouts from outside, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

When the monkey came in and saw Lu Yu sitting leisurely and sipping tea in the cave, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and asked, "Scholar, how come you're here?"

"I have some old scores to settle with that Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes, so I purposely waited here to resolve our karmic retribution," Lu Yu replied with a smile, seeing the monkey whom he hadn't met in a long time.

It turns out it's your nemesis. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have held back. I would have killed him and been done with it," the monkey said with regret. Although the Demon Lord's poison skills were first-rate, his combat strength was weak, hardly enough to stir the monkey's competitive spirit. Hence, he went with the flow to seek Bilam Po's help. If he had known it was Lu Yu's nemesis, he would have unleashed his full battle strength from the start.

"There's no need for that. I wish to resolve this segment of karmic retribution myself."

After exchanging pleasantries, they headed towards the Yellow Flower Temple. Bilam Po was a celestial fowl turned sage, naturally countering all insect-kind in the world, and the Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes stood no chance against her and had his divine skills broken.

"Tea Saint, I've broken this demon's divine skills. I shall not stop you from settling your karmic retribution with him," said Bilam Po with a smile.

At this moment, the Demon Lord's divine skills were broken, and he was suppressed by Bilam Po's bloodline power, enabling him to exert only a tenth of his abilities. Lu Yu found such an opponent hardly worth his interest, but thinking of the innocent human race that had died at his hands, Lu Yu's murderous intent erupted.

However, the bedraggled Demon Lord showed no fear in his eyes. Instead, his face twisted fiercely as he shouted, "It seems you really think you have me cornered, don't you?"

Suddenly, he threw a yellow cloth with some writing on it from his sleeve, and instantly, Buddha Light shone brightly, with an illusory Buddha towering in the air, extending a palm to strike at them.

Lu Yu drew out the Sword of state and lifted it towards the sky, sending endless Sword Qi cascading across like a galaxy, slicing through the Buddha's palm.

Under the chilling Sword Qi, the Buddha's figure began to crumble from the hand, disintegrating in no time and vanishing into the void.

"Where did this demon get such a Buddhism Treasure?" Bilam Po frowned upon seeing this.

Seizing the opportunity, the Demon Lord sprinted wildly towards the west. Seeing this, Lu Yu turned to Bilam Po with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'll chase him now. If there's a chance in the future, we shall sit and discuss the Dao together."

"Tea Saint, you go ahead. I'll go save Tang Monk and his disciples," Bilam Po replied.

Lu Yu nodded and rose on a cloud of mist, chasing after the escaping Demon Lord in the direction he was fleeing.

At this moment, the Demon Lord was running for his life, seemingly with a clear destination in sight, heading straight for a specific location in the west.

"Could this guy still have some tricks up his sleeve?" Lu Yu muttered to himself. He noticed the Demon Lord's abnormal behavior; the demon apparently had a purposeful escape plan, so he deliberately slowed down his pace, keeping a careful distance from the Demon Lord.

In no time, Lu Yu saw a surge of Demon Aura shooting into the sky, followed by the endless wails of human resentment, almost as if piercing through the heavens.

Lu Yu inhaled sharply at the horrifying scene. How many of the human race had to die for such a powerful wave of resentment to rise? Thinking of this, his anger raged, astonished that demons dared to act so brazenly in the three realms.

Suddenly, a location flashed through his mind: Lion Camel Ridge, and he seemed to have realized the reason behind it all. Upon recalling the Treasure from Buddhism that Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes had used before, he quickly recognized that this was a trap—a trap set specifically for him.

With this thought, he prepared to turn back. He was well aware of the strength of the three demons of Lion Camel City, but since they dared to lure him over, they must have something to rely on.

Just then, the ground suddenly lit up with an Array, and a blood-red Barrier abruptly appeared in front of Lu Yu.

Only then did Lu Yu discover that the ground was actually filled with densely packed Runic Inscriptions and Arrays; they were just concealed beneath the soil, and Lu Yu had failed to detect them at first glance.

"Lu Yu, don't even think about leaving this place alive," a robust voice came through, as the Green Lion looked at Lu Yu with hatred.

He lifted his newly regrown arm, the agony of the recent past unspeakable to others. That bone-deep Fortune and Destiny, the Green Lion had expended great effort to completely expel it, and even the memory of that pain caused him to shudder.

Therefore, for Lu Yu, who had cut off his arm, the Green Lion's hatred was bone-deep.

Soon after, Bai Xiang and Dapeng also arrived outside the Array. The three demons and Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes stood in the air, their gazes fixed on Lu Yu inside the Array, their eyes filled with hateful stares.

"I didn't expect you would actually join forces with those three," Lu Yu said, quite surprised.

The choice of the Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes stunned Lu Yu; he had indeed not anticipated this possibility.

He began to reflect on himself. Although he had warned himself many times in his heart that this was the real world, and he could refer to the memories of his past life but should not blindly believe in them, he still made this fatal mistake.

Because, whereas the dilemmas in "Journey to the West" were sequential, they essentially had no intersection. As a result, Lu Yu never subconsciously thought that the Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes would have any connection with the three demons of Lion Camel City.

Now that he thought about it, considering their proximity and the fame of the three Demon Kings of Lion Camel City in this region, it was easy for the desperate Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes to think of seeking refuge with them.

And for the three demons of Lion Camel City, who harbored a deep hatred and a grudge against Lu Yu, and wished nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood, it was a perfect match to set up this Barrier together to deal with Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu, you relied on controlling the minor world, humiliating my brothers and me. Today, we will make you pay with your blood for this blood debt," said Bai Xiang, his face full of hatred, and fire seemed to be spewing out of his eyes.

Last time, Lu Yu's actions forced him to use his own Holy Elephant Essence Blood to escape the Array, causing great damage to his Primordial Qi. Up to this day, he hadn't recovered, and the hatred in his heart was imaginable.

"Second brother, don't waste words with him. Now that he's within this Barrier, he can't use his Divine Skills. Hurry up and kill him," Dapeng said gravely.

The four demons exchanged glances and simultaneously launched an attack on Lu Yu within the Array, and a battle was about to erupt.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yu remained calm and composed. With the confidence he now had to deal with many emergencies, his mind stirred slightly as he attempted to connect with the Human Path Fortune and Destiny. Suddenly, a resounding dragon's roar illuminated the three realms, echoing through them all.

Those with extraordinary insight couldn't help but lift their heads and look up at the sky, murmuring to themselves, "This is the Human Sage mobilizing the Fortune and Destiny of the Human Path. It's unclear whom they are targeting."

In today's three realms, the human race was the true ruler. After countless years of propagation, it was unknown how many humans lived in this world.
