"You flatter me." Gandharva looked at Lin Zhu, her peach blossom eyes full of love. "If True Lord could enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss with me once, I might be able to lift the restrictions on them."

Lin Zhu chuckled. "You? You think you're worthy?"

"Alas!" Gandharva shook her head and sighed. "It is truly a pity. After you have your travel documents stamped, please leave Wuji Kingdom. This humble nun will continue to preach, so I will not see you off any further."

Pigsy scoffed, "What you call preaching? It's clearly lewd and evil magic."

The Gandharva said, "Marshal Tianpeng, you are mistaken. How can this be considered a lewd art? Look at them now, are they focused and no longer have any desire?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was indeed the case.

Gandharva laughed and said, "This method is the method of exhausting desires. It only requires releasing all of a person's desires in a short period of time, after which they can be without desires for a long time. Wouldn't such a world be just like the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?"

Lin Zhu's lips twitched. Is he in a state of enlightenment nationwide?

It must be said, this Gandharva is quite a talent.

Pigsy couldn't refute it, and only felt that the Gandharva was somewhat frightening.

Tang Sanzang immediately saw through the true nature of this method, saying, "Amitabha, you Gandharva protectors, this method is ultimately not the true path of our Buddha."

"What's the difference between righteous and evil paths? As long as it's beneficial, it's a good path." The Gandharva didn't care about anything else.

Lin Zhu said, "You're quite the schemer. You absorb their essence and spirit while they're releasing their desires, thereby enhancing your cultivation. You're harming others for your own benefit, and you still think you're doing a good deed?"

"It's just some vital energy, which they need to consume. What difference does it make if this nun absorbs it?"

The Gandharva continued his sophistry.

Pigsy said, “Look at them all, they’ve all gotten so thin they look like thunder gods, and they’re as skinny as my Monkey King. You’re probably sucking their life force every day. I’m afraid this Wuji Kingdom will soon become a city of bones.”

"So what? Since they have fulfilled my path, I will guide their souls to the Pure Land when the time comes."

Lin Zhu snorted coldly upon hearing this, "You Western Buddhist sect, taking advantage of us like this, come and get a beating!"

Suddenly, Lin Zhu made his move, showing no regard for the safety of the people in the city, which greatly alarmed Sun Wukong and his companions.

"Brother, don't be impulsive."

Chapter 1027 Jian in the Emperor's Heart

Lin Zhu moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was close to the Gandharva and reached out to grab her neck.

With the blessing of spatial laws, in the blink of an eye, they covered hundreds of millions of miles and appeared outside the Wuji Kingdom.

Before leaving, he said to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, go find the King of Wuji Kingdom and take care of those eighteen celestial maidens while you're at it."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. "I, Old Sun, understand."

He pointed forward and shouted, "Freeze!"

With a single immobilization spell, the eighteen celestial maidens were immediately rendered unable to move.

Hundreds of millions of miles away, Gandharva reached out and stroked Lin Zhu's hand, "Isn't True Lord a little too hasty? Let him prepare himself mentally!"

She was worried that Lin Zhu might impulsively break her neck.

She had only struggled slightly before Lin Zhu tightened his grip, his strength far beyond her ability to resist.

It was precisely because he was bound to the people of Wuji Kingdom that Lin Zhu dared not kill him easily.

Of course, her physical body is not important; even if she were separated from her physical body, her combat power would not be greatly affected.

But having a physical body is always better than not having one.

She turned to look at Lin Zhu, her eyes filled with seductive charm.

Immediately following was a fist enlarged.

Her eye socket was hit, and her eyes immediately turned into panda eyes.

Lin Zhu shouted, "Don't try that on me, it won't work."

The Gandharva was furious. "Damn it!"

The next moment, her entire body surged with magical power, and with a tearing sound, all her clothes were gone.

"Come on, try hitting it again?"

Lin Zhu was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected it to be like this.

"That's really despicable."

Without saying a word, he took out the Reincarnation Cauldron and stuffed the Gandharva inside, saying, "Stay here and behave yourself."

"Do you believe I'll die right now?"

"I don't believe it, go ahead and die!" Lin Zhu sneered. If the Gandharva dared to die, she would have died long ago.

She was speechless; she had never seen such an unromantic man.

Lin Zhu has already subdued Gandharva, and now they are just waiting for Sun Wukong to find the King of Wuji Kingdom so that the troubles of Wuji Kingdom can be completely resolved.

The Gandharva cannot die yet, but to prevent him from resorting to desperate measures, we have no choice but to take him millions of miles away.

In Wuji Kingdom, Sun Wukong went to see the king of Wuji Kingdom, only to find that this guy was not the king of Wuji Kingdom after all.

Therefore, it seems that the ruler of Wuji Kingdom is someone else.

But now they are wanted by the Kingdom of Wuji, so they can only leave the Kingdom of Wuji temporarily and go to a temple outside the Kingdom of Wuji.

They found the body of the King of Wuji Kingdom in the well of the temple.

Sun Wukong ascended to the Thirty-Three Heavens to obtain a Rejuvenation Pill from Laozi, which allowed the body and soul of the King of Wuji Kingdom to be reunited.

Then, Sun Wukong revealed the fact that the current ruler of Wuji Kingdom was a monster. After a battle of magic, he successfully made the ruler of Wuji Kingdom reveal his true form.

It is a blue-maned lion spirit.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva arrived just in time and rescued the green-haired lion demon.

This guy still has a role to play later, so he can't die so early.

"You Bodhisattva, how dare you condone your beast's evil deeds!" Sun Wukong shouted at Puxian.

“Amitabha.” Samantabhadra smiled. “You mischievous monkey, you don’t know this. Back then, the king of Wuji Kingdom was disrespectful to me. I only made him suffer for five years to settle the karmic debt. As for the matter of the Gandharva, I know nothing about it.”

He was telling the truth. Although he knew that the Gandharvas were involved in the journey to the West, he did not know that they would be involved in this ordeal he had arranged. It was just too coincidental.

Sun Wukong snorted disdainfully; Buddhism held zero credibility with him.

Back then, Buddha tricked him, and not long ago he even tricked him into wearing the golden headband. No wonder he can't believe Samantabhadra's words now.

Puxian looked at Sun Wukong's expression and was also displeased, but he still had to put on a smile, after all, after the journey to the West, this mischievous monkey's rank would be higher than his own.

"If you don't believe me, you impudent monkey, then so be it. I'm off." He sat on the golden back of the blue-maned lion and turned to leave.

Sun Wukong looked at his back and really wanted to hit him with his staff.

Hundreds of millions of miles away, Lin Zhu had been paying close attention to the development of Wuji Kingdom. Seeing that the King of Wuji Kingdom had returned to his throne, he had nothing to worry about.

In a flash, he arrived outside Wuji Kingdom, a jade pipa appearing in his hand. With a single chant of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, he instantly severed the spiritual connection between the people of Wuji Kingdom and the Gandharvas.

Finally, he released the Gandharva.

The Gandharva, already sensing it within the Reincarnation Cauldron, bowed to Lin Zhu and said, "True Lord, let's begin."

She showed no intention of resisting.

Lin Zhu was taken aback. "What happened?"

The Gandharva laughed and said, "It's all for the journey to the West."

Lin Zhu thought for a moment, then understood and said, "The Buddhist sect really goes all out!"

The Gandharva smiled but remained silent.

Finally, Lin Zhu took action, placing the Soul-Suppressing and Evil-Releasing Seal on the Gandharva's head.

Although the Gandharva did not resist, it does not mean that she is a good person. She is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals and will use anything.

With her forehead stamped, the Gandharva had no time to regret it.

The innate malevolent energy entered his body, and in a short while, his aura reached the Hunyuan realm, but he still did not want to resist.

"True Lord Lin Zhu, grant this humble nun a quick death."

Lin Zhu nodded, and with a single swing of his Ghost-Slaying and Evil-Exterminating Sword, boundless sword energy surged forth.

This sword strike may seem casual, but its power is considerable.

The Gandharva had no defenses and was reduced to ashes with a single sword strike. The remaining power of his body after death seeped into the earth.

The ordeal in Wuji Kingdom was quite easy for Lin Zhu.

But this is not good for the Jade Emperor.

He saw this scene in the Haotian Mirror and asked the civil and military officials in the hall, "The Buddhist sect has already added its own interpretation. What do you gentlemen think?"

"How can you interpret it? Does Your Majesty intend to send people to their deaths like the Buddhists do?" Nezha scoffed, noting that the Heavenly Rules hadn't been strictly enforced lately.

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "Of course not, but since Buddhism is making moves, my Heavenly Court cannot remain indifferent."

Venus, the planet of Venus, chimed in, "It seems His Majesty has already made a decision."

"Indeed." The Jade Emperor nodded. "I intend to assign another person to the pilgrimage team so that we can provide assistance at any time. I wonder which of my beloved ministers would be willing to volunteer?"

"This humble general is willing to go!" In the next moment, dozens of people stood up in unison, including Zhao Gongming, who was at the Hunyuan Realm.

The Jade Emperor looked at the people who had stepped forward; most of them were disciples of the Jie Sect.

The Jie Sect already wields considerable power in the Heavenly Court. If they were to gain access to the merits of the Journey to the West, it would severely disrupt the balance.

Seeing that Nezha was among those who stepped forward, he said, "I think the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas is the most suitable. He has a certain relationship with Lin Zhu Zhenjun, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Tianpeng, and Juanlian, so it will be easier for him to integrate into the pilgrimage team. What do you gentlemen think?"

Li Jing glanced at his mischievous child, thinking to himself, 'Why is Nezha gaining favor with the Emperor lately?'

Chapter 1028 Rakshasa Kingdom

Since the Jade Emperor had spoken, what could the assembled immortals and gods say? They could only agree!

Venus asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask what reason the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas joined the pilgrimage team?"

The Jade Emperor said, "Under the arrangement of the Goddess Houtu, the difficulty of the pilgrimage mission has increased by more than one level, and the merit gained upon successful completion will be even greater. Since the Laozi lineage has Tianpeng, it is not impossible for the Heavenly Venerable lineage to add one as well; the Buddhist sect will agree."
