Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 359 Turning the corner into safety
Afterwards, Tang Xuanci took him to the most upscale Lotus Pond Water Club in Lingshan.

But Zhu Wuneng was so distraught that he couldn't taste clams for three days.

Tang Xuanci then told him that he and Gao Cuilan had not actually consummated their relationship, and that he could immediately make the decision and persuade Gao Cuilan to marry him.

But Zhu Wuneng remained heartbroken, saying that although Gao Cuilan's body had not transformed into his shape, her heart had always been his shape. What was the point of forcing her to agree?

Seeing that his energy was low and could potentially affect the battle, Tang Xuanci conspired with Beaker again and came up with a plan. He sighed to him:

"Actually, I know that what you lack is not people, but love."

"But to be honest, your looks are not even a fraction of mine. To find true love is like trying to grow a lotus in fire or catch the moon's reflection in water—it's practically impossible."

"Even if most women have you in their bodies, they will still have me in their hearts, or other men who are even one in a billion as good-looking as me."

"However... anything is possible."

"In my opinion, there is a woman who truly loves you."

"Even if I am standing next to her, she will steal glances at me because she is amazed by my beauty, but I can tell that she has no improper thoughts."

"I think she's the one who's truly right for you."

Ah this?

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Zhu Wuneng's eyes, and a figure immediately came to mind, but he still asked knowingly who it was.

Tang Xuanci was overjoyed and immediately pointed out that the person was his adopted daughter, A Yao, whom he had rescued from the clutches of that old scoundrel Tianyou.

Zhu Wuneng's expression changed, and he became more talkative, speaking with righteous indignation, saying that she was his adopted daughter whom he had raised since childhood. Isn't that nonsense? Does he think everyone is like you, you rogue monk?

Tang Xuanci cupped the back of his head once more, looked directly into his eyes, and resonated with his energetic gaze, saying:
"Is this a problem? It's not acceptable to those who gave you life, nor is it acceptable to those you gave life to, but for the rest... anything is possible!"

So he directly made the decision for his disciple, Zhu Ti, who had a good relationship with A Yao, to contact her, who was commanding troops in the Thunderstruck Mountains, to bring up the marriage and find out her feelings.

Zhu Wuneng, who witnessed everything from the sidelines, cursed and swore, but his heart was gradually filled with joy.

It turns out, after searching high and low, I suddenly turned around and there she was, in the brightly lit place.

That night, Zhu Wuneng, with a completely new perspective, chatted with A Yao via cloud messaging all night long, fully restoring his energy.

The next day, he changed into a handsome suit, with the top-quality jade ring prepared by his cheap master in his pocket, and a sour smell he had never experienced before emanating from him. Full of energy, he headed to the northern front.

The sky was gray, as if it had been crying, but in his eyes, everything was filtered through a pink lens.

But when he arrived at the Thunderstrike Mountains, the sky was already filled with rolling thunder and the earth was ablaze with fire.

It turned out that after the Jade Emperor sent out his little lover, he saw no sign of success for a long time, so he knew that the scheme had probably failed.

However, the Ziwei Emperor, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, discovered that Zhu Wuneng seemed to be away from the front lines. Therefore, he ordered Tianyou, who had been reinstated as the Grand Marshal of Demon Subduing, to launch a fierce offensive.

Fate plays tricks on pigs.

Although the Thunder Mountain Range successfully defended against the first wave of attacks, A Yao tragically died in battle while trying to hold the line for him, her body and soul destroyed.

Holding up a charred, mangled body without hands, Zhu Wuneng's eyes lost all color and his reason.

The following day, the Thunder Mountain Range fell.

Zhu Wuneng fought to the death without retreating, devised an ambush, and killed Tianyou's two sons and one grandson with a ball lightning strike. He also killed 3,600 soldiers and generals by himself, and used the Treasure Golden Rake to tear half of Tianyou's body apart.

He was later severely injured by the arriving Emperor Ziwei, and almost died.

Fortunately, Tang Xuanci contacted Yinyin after hearing the bad news, just in case.

Guanyin managed to scare away the Ziwei Emperor in time and rescued the unconscious Zhu Wuneng, bringing him back to Mount Ling.

But when he awoke, he was completely drained of energy, and no matter how Tang Xuanci tried to resonate with him, it was to no avail. His weight plummeted from 10,000 kilograms to 2,000 kilograms, and he couldn't even focus his eyes on the Guanyin clam in front of him; he was utterly ruined.

Tang Xuanci had no choice but to personally assume the position of Army Commander and persuade Si Xuange to serve as his deputy commander, leading troops at the front to deal with the dire situation.

But less than a month later, the situation deteriorated again.

The True Martial Emperor, who is known as the Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Demon Slayers, suppressed the North Sea Demon Clan and turned his attention to the All Beings Gang.

In an instant, the northern defense line collapsed completely, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals pressed down on Lingyun Ferry.

Guanyin was overwhelmed with the situation, and the Flowing Sand River was quickly lost, threatening the Kingdom of Baoxiang.

The bad news is that the Sangha Gang and the Pure Land School are clearly unable to withstand the pressure.

The good news is that although over 90% of the four continents have lost 3, 4, and 5G coverage, the inspiring songs still resonate in the mountains, in the mortal world, and on the radio… The sound is even brighter now.

November 24th, 1rd year of Zhongyuan.

Tang Xuanci made yet another decision that shocked the entire Three Realms.

He delivered a speech at the Great Thunder Temple, proposing a strategy of "encircling and suppressing the immortal realm from the mortal world".

They intended to abandon all seemingly important strongholds such as Lingshan and Moshengdu, blow up all the aircraft carriers that could not be hidden, break up the group into smaller units, and scatter the gang members throughout the four continents.

We should try our best to avoid direct combat and make promoting the righteousness of all beings our top priority.

Aside from immortal emperors and gods, all living beings are targets;
Humans and animals, once they develop intelligence and surpass the intelligence of the monkeys of Mount Emei, should know that they too are rulers of the Three Realms.

Finally, as if possessed by an art student, he roared passionately:
"Where grass and chaff fly, flames will burn; when the four continents are consumed by fire, the heavens will be ablaze with red!"

Soon, the All-People Gang shrugged off their major strongholds like a cicada shedding its shell.

They helped the nameless "common people" within the sect to shed their armor and battle clothes and escape into the villages, towns, and forests of the four continents, leaving the heavenly soldiers and generals with no way to attack them.

Meanwhile, Tang Xuanci and his disciples, along with other key wanted individuals, went to various pre-planned secret bases to carry out underground work.

If there's an advantage, launch a surprise attack;
If it's exposed, then move it.

Good heavens, the four Jade Emperors were all dumbfounded and completely stumped.

They discovered that without restoring the technological means that Tang Xuanci had developed when he was an immortal, finding the anti-demons hiding in the mortal realm would be like finding a needle in a haystack; and stopping them from doing evil would be even more difficult.

However, restoring those technological means to enhance efficiency would be exploited by Tang Xuanci, and the consequences would only be more terrible.

After careful consideration, they could only resort to the most crude method, ordering the mountain gods, local deities, and heavenly soldiers to begin searching everywhere for the anti-demon led by Tang Xuanci.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!
So let's stop there. As it turns out, Tang Xuanci's strategy was absolutely correct.

As time went by, although the Zhong Sheng Gang sacrificed many members and repeatedly encountered crises, it turned danger into safety on several occasions.

Thus, a small fire gradually grew into a raging inferno.

The original two hundred thousand or so gang members multiplied with each killing, eventually reaching tens of millions, spreading across four continents, and even numbering in large numbers in the underworld.

In many regions, ordinary people have become accustomed to seeing monsters, and some men can even show great respect for female demons.

People have become desensitized to deities, and all sorts of hilarious AI videos are being shared everywhere, such as "Queen Mother jumping on a giant swing," "Jade Emperor leading a group of immortals in a driving test," and "Buddha slapping himself repeatedly while beating and boxing"... all of which bring joy to a dull life.

Faith plummeted.

According to Beaker's estimates, the combat power of big shots such as the Jade Emperor, the Four Emperors, and Zhenwu has plummeted by at least 75% on average compared to their peak.

Even the Buddha who sealed off the Black Continent, due to the severe collapse of his faith in the Western Continent and the Southern Continent, coupled with several fierce battles, his combat power should not even reach more than 5 million at most.
