I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Shortly after.

Having lost the Golden Core of Ten Thousand Demons, the Long-Armed Ape was no longer able to resist the siege of the six masters. With a thud, it knelt down in front of the Crow Spirit, golden blood flowing continuously from its mouth.

Seeing this, the six experts stopped fighting. The crow spirit snorted, "What's the use of kneeling to me? The person who can truly decide your fate is behind you."

Long-Armed Ape: "..."

That crow spirit has an incredibly foul mouth. Who would want to kneel before you? I just happened to fall down in front of you!

"Master, what should we do with this guy?" Sun Wukong bent down to pick up the fallen Optimus Prime and turned to ask.

Qin Yao: "..."

Silly monkey, you usually seem pretty smart, so why are you acting so foolish now?

Is it possible that even the wisest person can make a mistake?
To put it bluntly, he certainly hoped that the Long-Armed Ape would be annihilated, but as Tang Sanzang, he couldn't just say, "Kill him once and for all, and let it all go away with once and for all."

That being said, if Sun Wukong had taken direct action and succeeded, there wouldn't have been any serious consequences.

Just like the monsters who were killed on the journey to the West, the Buddha of the East had no right to seek justice for them!
"Great Sage, Holy Monk, please have mercy!"

Shortly after, just as he was thinking about whether to give Sun Wukong a hint, a colorful cloud suddenly fell to the ground and appeared as the figure of a Buddha.

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting that this old guy would actually get involved in the rescue of the gibbon.

Ok……

It's also possible that they came to save Huangmei Patriarch. After all, Huangmei has done his part, even if he hasn't made any great contributions. If they don't save him, it will surely discourage people from joining the future Buddha lineage.

"Buddha of the East, what brings you here?" Before their last meeting, Sun Wukong had always respected this future Buddha, but ever since this fellow had tried to harm his master, he had turned against him and was even less likely to give him a friendly look now.

Donglai Buddha seemed unconcerned by his cold glare and said with a smile, "To be honest, I came here specifically for those two rebellious disciples."

Sun Wukong said with no small amount of sarcasm, "Your timing is really perfect. You didn't come when he was causing trouble, and you didn't come when he was feeling smug. You just happened to come after we subdued him."

The Buddha Donglai remained unfazed and said with a smile, "This is the test for your master. My two rebellious disciples are two links in the test. Eighty-one tests and eighty-one links are placed under Xuanzang's feet so that he can reach the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures for all people."

Sun Wukong was amused and said, "According to your logic, should we thank your two disciples?"

Donglai Buddha waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Just please return these two traitors, the Human Seed Bag, the Ten Thousand Demon Golden Pill, and other items to this old monk."

Qin Yao looked directly into his eyes and asked in a low voice, "On what grounds?"

Donglai Buddha smiled and said, "Wasn't what I just said clear enough?"

Qin Yao said, "I don't agree."

The Buddha of the East finally dropped his fake smile and said, "Xuanzang, I am, after all, the Buddha of the East. As a disciple of Buddhism and a pilgrim on the journey to the West, are you not even willing to give me this much face?"

"face?"

Qin Yao shook his head with a smile, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous: "In my understanding, the essence of giving face is respect."

Donglai Buddha, you personally came to stop me from cultivating, and you even risked breaking ties with me for it.

Later, your two disciples took turns causing me trouble, and you ignored it all. Now, you come to me asking for face? Have you lost your mind?

Under his questioning, Donglai Buddha's face quickly darkened. He slowly raised his right hand, his arm suddenly extending, his palm enveloped in golden light, and went straight for Qin Yao's throat:

"I originally intended to resolve this matter in a relatively dignified manner, but since you do not want that dignity, I will not care about such things anymore."

"Stop!" Sun Wukong shouted, and suddenly swung the pillar towards the arm of the Buddha of the East.

Donglai Buddha glanced at him, raised his right hand, flicked his finger, and a golden Buddhist light suddenly shot out, colliding fiercely with Optimus Prime in the air.

With a loud bang, Optimus Prime spun rapidly and flew backward, passing through a large tree and plunging deep into the earth, leaving only a hole in the ground.

"Amitabha."

Qin Yao clasped his hands together and fully activated the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra. Countless scriptures flew out of his body and condensed into a golden phantom of a Buddha in the void outside his body.

"boom!"

The Buddha's hand, which had come from the east, gripped the golden body of the Buddha, instantly tearing out five terrifying holes. Then, it pulled outwards fiercely, forcefully creating a large hole.

A large amount of celestial energy rushed out from the cave, causing the golden body to quickly become ethereal.

Qin Yao maintained his Buddhist posture and used all his spiritual power to repair the pit. However, at this moment, the Buddha of the East had already transformed his claws into fists and punched the golden Buddha phantom with all his might, instantly shattering the phantom.

"Beep, beep."

Qin Yao staggered back three steps, his blood surging within him, and a trickle of crimson blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Donglai Buddha then transformed his fist into a palm and silently grabbed at his entire body.

Everything that needed to be said and could be said has already been said.

When the other party showed no mercy, he had no choice but to resort to force!

"Buddha from the East, are you a sore loser?"

At the critical moment, a slightly cold and mature female voice suddenly rang out, causing the Buddha of the East to abruptly stop his hand in front of Qin Yao.

The next moment, a white light arrived from the south, revealing a white lotus platform. On the platform stood an elegant figure dressed in a white dress, holding a jade bottle in her hands.

The Buddha of the East remained silent for a moment, then slowly withdrew his long arm: "It's not that I can't accept defeat, it's that Xuanzang doesn't care about the friendship between fellow disciples, and even wants to break the rules of the eighty-one tribulations."

Sun Wukong immediately retorted, "What utter nonsense about camaraderie? When you said those four words, didn't you blush? Didn't you feel ashamed? So only we can talk about camaraderie with your lineage, while your lineage has no taboos?"

Donglai Buddha said calmly, "Even if my two disciples wanted to talk about fraternal affection, they wouldn't have had the chance. From beginning to end, when did he ever gain the upper hand in your hands? Without gaining the upper hand, how can you talk about affection?"

"Alright, there's no need to argue about this anymore."

Guanyin raised her hand and said, "Buddha from the East, Huangmei and Long-Armed Ape have repeatedly jumped out to obstruct the westward journey, and even went so far as to kidnap the Six-Eared Macaque and forcibly perform a soul transfer. If they are not severely punished, how can we silence the public? It is fine if you don't want a good reputation, but the reputation of Buddhism cannot be lost."

After pondering for a long time, the Buddha of the East said in a deep voice, "Sun Wukong committed a heinous crime back then, and the Buddha Tathagata sealed him under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years to atone for his sins. This serves as a warning from the past."

Now, although my two unworthy and rebellious disciples haven't committed as serious offenses as Sun Wukong, in order to serve as a warning to others, this old monk is willing to put them into the Two Extremes Gourd, place them in the ocean, and suppress them for a full five hundred years. What does the Bodhisattva think?

"No!" Qin Yao said before Guanyin could speak.

"Why not?"

In front of Guanyin, Donglai Buddha finally restrained himself considerably and asked, barely suppressing his dissatisfaction.

Qin Yao said, "What kind of punishment is it to take your disciple into your magic treasure and let him stay there with good food and drink for five hundred years?"
Moreover, throwing them into the sea means they might break the seal, and then return with full of resentment, lurking in the shadows waiting for their chance to strike. Is that fair to us? The pilgrims are supposed to endure eighty-one tribulations, but they shouldn't die, should they?

Donglai Buddha was cornered by his words and had no choice but to promise, "I can guarantee that they will not break out of the seal for five hundred years."

Qin Yao said, "What guarantee do you have? Do you dare to promise that if they break free from the seal within five hundred years, you will immediately pass away?"

Donglai Buddha: "..."

"Tang Sanzang, don't push your luck!" On the ground, the long-armed ape's eyes widened in fury as it shouted fiercely.

"Snapped!"

Qin Yao slapped him again, knocking him to the ground, and said in a low voice, "You still have the nerve to talk? If you weren't so stubborn, your master and I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Donglai Buddha took a deep breath and said, "I cannot make this oath. The reason is simple: once I make this oath, many of my enemies will surely fight with all their might to shatter the Two-Pole Gourd, and then wait for me to fulfill the oath and pass away."

Qin Yao sneered, "Then what kind of guarantee do you keep talking about? Isn't that laughable?"

Seeing that their conversation was about to break down, Guanyin pondered for a moment and said softly, "How about this? I will build a pagoda, set up a five-hundred-year seal, and throw Huangmei and Long-Armed Ape into it. What do you think?"

Qin Yao said, "I have no objection, but I have one request."

That was done by the Buddha of the East himself, who restored the bodies of the Six-Eared Macaque and the Long-Armed Ape, and even made compensation to the Six-Eared Macaque.

After all, Liu Er had done nothing wrong, yet the Long-Armed Ape tore his soul apart and transferred his body, subjecting him to this suffering for no reason.

Donglai Buddha: "..."

You're quite the good guy!
In contrast, Guanyin felt that Xuanzang's suggestion was exactly what she wanted to hear, and immediately nodded and said, "That makes sense, Buddha of the East, you shouldn't have any objections to this, right?"

Donglai Buddha's cheek twitched, and his voice was low: "No objection."

Guanyin nodded and said, "Wukong, go and bring Liu Er here."

"Yes, Bodhisattva." Sun Wukong put his hands together, bowed, and then transformed into golden light and soared into the sky.

"Now that we've finished talking about the two of them, shouldn't we talk about the matter of returning the treasure?" Donglai Buddha suddenly asked as he watched the golden light disappear into the distance.

Qin Yao said indifferently, "Return the treasure? Return what treasure? Go find whoever took your magic weapon, why are you arguing with me?"

The Buddha from the East coldly said, "Xuanzang, your attitude and words are beneath your dignity!"

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "Don't flatter me. I don't have any status. In short, I just want to say one thing: as the loser, you can't expect the treatment of the winner."

A fierce glint flashed in Donglai Buddha's eyes as he said in a low voice, "You're too greedy. Do you know what trouble you'll bring upon yourself by taking what you shouldn't have?"

Qin Yao said without changing his expression, "Are you openly threatening me?"

“It’s not a threat, it’s a reminder, it’s a warning,” said the Buddhist monk from the East.

"Thank you for your warning, but I don't need your reminder. As long as you don't send anyone to cause me trouble again, I think there's no problem that my master and I can't solve," Qin Yao said neither arrogantly nor humbly.

Donglai Buddha was at his wit's end, so he turned to Guanyin, hoping she could come up with another compromise.

However, Guanyin herself is not a neutral figure, so how could she compromise on everything?
Therefore, facing his eager gaze, Guanyin remained calm and earnest, and said:
“The Buddha from the East said that everything revolves around the concept of reason. If you can persuade Xuanzang, but he still refuses to hand over the treasure, I can still offer him some advice.”

But now that you can't even win an argument with the other party, how can I speak up for you?
People say they'll side with their own family, not with what's right. I don't think our relationship is that close.

Donglai Buddha: "..."

Perhaps he shouldn't have shown up at all.

This is truly a case of losing both a treasure and a fortune.

"Bodhisattva, we're back!"

In the stillness, Sun Wukong, riding on golden clouds, arrived swiftly with the Six-Eared Macaque on his back.

Guanyin nodded slightly, chanted the incantation to remove the headband, and took the headband off the head of the gibbon in mid-air, putting it into her hand.

The Buddha from the East reluctantly performed a ritual to transfer the souls of the gibbon and the six-eared macaque back to their respective places.

The former was alright, letting out a long sigh of relief after returning to his place, while the latter was in a terrible state, after all, Liu Er's body had just been brutally beaten and was covered in injuries.

In response, Donglai Buddha waved his sleeve and released a burst of Buddhist light, which enveloped Liu Er's body. His injuries were quickly healed by the Buddhist light, and his complexion soon returned to its rosy state.

“This treatment doesn’t count as compensation!” Qin Yao suddenly said from the side.

The Buddha from the East glared at him rather unfriendly, then sucked the silvery-white pillar from the ground and pushed it through the air in front of the Six-Eared Macaque:
"Consider this divine weapon as an apology gift. As for the flooding of the Bohai Sea, I will take care of it later."

The Six-Eared Macaque subconsciously looked at Guanyin, its gaze seemingly asking if it could take the item.

Guanyin chuckled and said, "Since the Buddha from the East has said so, you should accept this pillar of heaven. Why don't you quickly thank Master Xuanzang?"

Donglai Buddha: "..."

I gave it to him, and you're asking him to thank Xuanzang?

Having learned what had happened from Sun Wukong, Liu Er willingly knelt before Qin Yao, repeatedly kowtowing: "Thank you, Holy Monk!"

Qin Yao smiled and helped him up, saying gently, "Between you and me, we have achieved mutual success, so there's no need for such formalities."

Donglai Buddha did not want to hear his voice again, so he said to Guanyin, "Please, Bodhisattva, perform the ritual to build a pagoda."

Guanyin nodded, looked around, and finally chose a mountaintop by a lake as the foundation. With a wave of her sleeve, she uprooted several large trees, used her magic as a knife and her creativity as the basis, and built a seven-story pagoda made of pure wood, which stood on the mountaintop, complementing the green mountains and the setting sun.

"Xuanzang, release Huangmei," Guanyin said gently after the pagoda was completed.

With a thought, Qin Yao flicked his sleeve and sent out a yellow-browed figure from within the divine realm, which crashed heavily beside the long-armed ape.

The moment he landed, Huang Mei thought of escaping on his phoenix feather robe, until he saw his master...

"Master."

"You have disappointed me greatly," said the Buddha of the East, sounding as if he were disappointed in his son.

Huang Mei wanted to say something more, but Guanyin didn't give him the chance. She tied the waists of the two brothers with a willow branch and threw them directly into the seven-story pagoda, finally sealing it with a seal that no one but herself could break...

With this, the possibility of the two demons reuniting was completely eliminated. Everyone in the westward journey team, including Qin Yao, was greatly encouraged and filled with joy.

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and in their eyes, this outcome is perfect... (End of Chapter)
