Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

Chapter 138 The Gate of the Earthly Demon, Basha's Plea

cosmic space.

Cursed Blue was cast back into the Demon Hell, its gravity dissipated, and the planets returned to their respective orbits.

This world-ending crisis was completely averted thanks to Jackie Chan's actions.

The gates of hell belonging to the Moon Demons have been completely closed.

Meanwhile, on Blue Star, inside the Black Hand Gang's building.

Shen Du, Xi Mu, and Ba Sha locked eyes and remained silent for a long while.

They read that right.

The Cursed Blue has been sealed away.

It seems that all of this is true; Zhou Lan has been cast back into the Demon Hell.

Even the gods were somewhat surprised. They thought that after Zhou Lan finished off Chenglong, he could completely destroy the humans on Blue Star, but they didn't expect these unexpected troubles to occur.

He was even thinking of taking this opportunity to agree with Basha's statement and stop Zhou Lan's crazy actions.

I never expected this, I really never expected it.

The eight people, including Lü Dongbin, who once sacrificed everything, have returned and are hiding in the shadows, not daring to show themselves in the world.

If you ask how the gods knew, it was through the eight auras emanating from the divine armor.

Not only Shen Du, but also Xi Mu and Ba Sha knew that Lü Dongbin and others who had sealed them away had not died completely, but had instead been resurrected.

Knowing that Lü Dongbin and his eight companions were hiding in the shadows, Shen Du didn't pay much attention.

Unless they are as insane as Zhou Lan, who desires to destroy and reshape the world, there is no reason for Lü Dongbin and his eight companions to abandon everything just to seal themselves away, as they did in ancient times.

Zhou Lan was cast into the Demon Hell, entirely of his own making.

But Ximu and Basha don't think so.

Lu Dongbin and his eight companions had once sealed away the eight great demon lords. If they were to take this opportunity to come knocking on their door, wouldn't they be sealed back into the demon hell?

Another question is, didn't Sixth Brother say that Lü Dongbin and the other eight had all been completely wiped out?
How could it possibly still appear?!

Thinking of this, Ximu couldn't help but swallow hard, then turned to look at the calm and composed Shen Du beside him and asked, "Sixth Brother, didn't you say before that those eight damned guys had already been annihilated?!"

"What now?"

Basha also asked a question.

Her current thought is to find out whether Lü Dongbin and the other eight are dead or not.
If she hadn't died, wouldn't Basha have to hide away?

The two demons' questions made Shen Du frown, and he waved his hand leisurely, saying, "Perhaps the problem lies in Zhou Lan's own actions, which caused righteous energy to erupt, and in the long river of time, Lü Dongbin pulled people out!"

"Use its power to seal away the Cursed Blue!"

Upon hearing this, Basha and Ximu also felt that it made a lot of sense.

After all, Zhou Lan's actions were aimed at destroying the entire planet.

Both righteous energy and dark energy originate from the Blue Star. Once this planet is destroyed, it will take time to regenerate them.

The dark energy might tolerate it, simply because Zhoulan is the demonic ruler conceived by its dark energy.

But righteousness would never allow Zhou Lan to destroy its foundation.

There's nothing unreasonable about reviving Lü Dongbin and the other eight.

Now that Zhou Lan has been sealed away by the original eight people, will it be their turn next?

Thinking of this, a hint of panic flashed in Basha and Ximu's pupils.

Even if Ximu's strength improves now, he will still fear the person who sealed him in the past.

Not to mention Basha, whose strength hasn't improved significantly yet. If she encounters Lü Dongbin and the others, she'll only be sealed away. "Sixth Brother, what do we do now?"

While the two were pondering, Shen Du was playing with the Panku Box in his hand, and the trio of Black Hands had already twisted out the hexagram for the next gate of hell.

They're just waiting for them to release another demon lord.

However, Ximu's words made Shendu raise his eyes slightly and say, "Release so many compatriots, what else could there be?"

"Are you worried about Lü Dongbin and the others?!"

Ximu nodded, and Basha beside him spoke hoarsely, "We were sealed by Lü Dongbin and his eight companions, so naturally we fear their reappearance!"

"Moreover, according to the rules, once the gates of hell are opened, if the Demon Lord is thrown back into them, those gates will be sealed forever!"

"The demons that belong to that door will be sealed forever in the Demon Hell, never to emerge again!"

Shen Du noticed the fear in their eyes; clearly, Ximu and Basha were starting to feel afraid.

Fearing that he would be sealed back into the demon hell, he dared not easily reveal himself to the world, for fear that Lü Dongbin and his eight companions would come looking for him at any moment.

"Don't worry, we should consider opening the gates of hell for our next compatriot."

As they were talking, the god twisted open the Pan Gu Treasure Box and revealed the divination results.

In an instant, the gates of hell belonged to the sovereign of the earth, the Earth Lord.

The door is located at the foot of a mountain in San Francisco.

Seeing this, Shen Du was not surprised at all.

After all, the Gates of Hell of the Water Lord Basha are located in the endless deep sea, and it is not unreasonable that the Gates of Hell of the Earth Lord are buried under the mountains.

“This is the Gates of Hell of the Earthly King!” Basha said hoarsely, looking up at the divination revealed by the Panku Treasure Box.

“Good, we can set off now to release the Earth Demon!” Shen Du nodded, put away the Panku Treasure Box, and prepared to head to the location of the Gates of Hell.

Although being in San Francisco might attract the attention of the righteous protagonists, it doesn't matter. His only responsibility is to release his compatriots; whether they can escape is another matter.

With his wisdom eroded, the demon lord Zhou Lan holds the advantage.

Even the gods do not comment on the Earthly Deity.

The demonic hell first erodes wisdom, and then divine power.

Just like when Ximu first came out, the magic encyclopedia he once memorized had long since disappeared. It was only after many years of recuperation that he gradually regained his wisdom.

As for Di Kui, he will probably start building his so-called kingdom as soon as he comes out.

At that time, whether it will be sealed away or successful, the former is probably more likely.

Zhou Lan is intelligent, while Di Kui is foolish; the contrast is particularly striking.

In this respect, Basha is slightly inferior to Zhou Lan, but she survived for two episodes in the original work, so her intelligence should be about the same as Zhou Lan's.

In the original story, Zhou Lan was sealed away, probably because she was too arrogant and thought that Jackie Chan wouldn't be able to take out the lotus bud on the moon where there is no air.

Now that Zhou Lan is sealed away, it's because he's been blinded by demonic energy.

"Wait, Holy Lord!" Just as Shen Du was about to set off, Basha hurriedly stopped him, causing him to look puzzled.

Seeing this, Basha pleaded in an embarrassed tone, "Holy Lord, there's no need to elaborate on our relationship. Could you please retrieve my Water Origin Demonic Energy? I need to heal my injuries!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du frowned.

Could it be that Basha also wants to follow in the footsteps of Zhou Lan?

He knew where the demonic energy was stored, but estimated that District Thirteen possessed righteous magic. A direct attack was not advisable, and sneaking in probably wouldn't yield any results either.
