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

#1677 - Gu Yang's negotiation strategy?

This time, Gu Yang personally stepped forward!

He wanted to let the Western Heavens know that he, the Grand Marshal, was by no means a pushover!

Even without the Shadow Demon, Gu Yang would never let the Demon Clan's revival fall through.

I shall suppress all enemies and become the Supreme King!

Ambitious and high-spirited, Gu Yang once again arrived upon the ruins.

This time, he spoke for the Demon Clan, as their highest representative!

The Western Heavens also felt this sincerity from the Demon Clan and were unspeakably shocked.

This was the first time the Western Heavens had such a formal meeting with Grand Marshal Gu Yang; at least, meeting at the negotiating table was a first.

The Western Heavens also dared not neglect him, and after repeated discussions, they had Guanyin Bodhisattva and谛听 (Dìtīng, a mythical creature) present at the same time.

As for why it wasn't a Buddha who attended, it wasn't because they looked down on him, but mainly because the Tathagata Buddha felt that the other Buddhas were more or less mentally deficient.

Of course, the Tathagata Buddha didn't say this to their faces, only in private.

Now, for the Tathagata Buddha, the only one he could trust was Guanyin Bodhisattva's intelligence.

The Western Heavens looked like they had many people, but there were very few who were truly useful, and even fewer who were willing to come out and work!

White Lotus Child: White Lotus Child is willing to shed blood for generations to come, to raid homes and exterminate families for the Western Heavens!

Tathagata Buddha: You're just trash, get out of here.

If the White Lotus Child came, the Demon Clan might launch a full-scale attack the next day, attacking the Western Heavens with the most violent suicidal offensive.

At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva was somewhat nervous. Today, she was the spokesperson for the Western Heavens, the one facing Gu Yang.

At this moment, Gu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking down upon all living beings, his expression filled with coldness and arrogance.

"Guanyin, is it? The relic is in my hands. The fate of your Western Heavens is in my hands. Now, state your terms."

Guanyin Bodhisattva listened and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, and her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the Demon Clan was planning to use this opportunity to pressure the Western Heavens?

Guanyin Bodhisattva coughed lightly twice, and then said:

"Thank you, Demon Clan, for retrieving the relic. Our Western Heavens has already given you the bargaining chips. We hope that you can return the relic, and the friendship between our Western Heavens and the Demon Clan will last forever."

However, after Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, she found the scene to be deathly silent.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked up and saw Gu Yang staring at her coldly.

"You Bodhisattva, you sound very arrogant. I am the dignified Grand Marshal of the Demon Clan, and you dare to play with me like this?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart turned cold. She could feel a strange sense of fear, the pressure from the Grand Marshal of the Demon Clan!

Guanyin Bodhisattva shivered instantly.

"But, we have already given…"

Gu Yang slammed the table angrily and roared:

"You, Guanyin, I see that you really don't take me seriously! Do you know that it was because of your Western Heavens' negligence that my Shadow Demon brother almost died on the spot!

It is you who have made me have to make a trip. If you don't hand over double the treasures, I will never be done with you!"

At this moment, Gu Yang was like a lion, his roar scaring Guanyin Bodhisattva.

It must be said that this was completely genuine for Gu Yang. After all, the Shadow Demon's near-death experience had left Gu Yang with a bellyful of fire.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was startled by Gu Yang's roar. For Guanyin Bodhisattva, she took half a step back and comforted him:

"Calm down, calm down. I am also very saddened by General Shadow Demon's experience, but this is something that no one wants to happen. We really can't act arbitrarily. The Western Heavens has already shown our sincerity, and your Demon Clan should also…"

However, as Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, she suddenly saw a sword appear in Gu Yang's hand.

The Sword of the Demonic Path!

Gu Yang had none of the Shadow Demon's habit of talking nicely. Without saying a word, Gu Yang drew his long sword, ready to have a good chat with Guanyin Bodhisattva!

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face was full of panic. After all, she had never seen such a scene before and was taken aback.

Gu Yang was unrelenting.

"In any case, hand over the items and cede half of the Infernal Purgatory. Then, the relic will be returned. If you don't comply, our Demon Clan will fight the Western Heavens to the bitter end!"

Gu Yang's strategy was that simple and crude!
