We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

As Lin Xiao spoke without any mercy, the chat in her live stream fell silent for a brief moment.

But soon, after everyone realized what was happening, the live stream became even more excited.

With Lin Xiao's support, the audience was undoubtedly more confident, and the trolls in the live stream who claimed to be students from prestigious universities were utterly defeated.

Does Lin Dong's ability and talent need further proof? Even without Lin Xiao saying anything, everyone can say it, leaving the so-called prestigious university students speechless.

As Lin Xiao said, is it so hard to acknowledge that others are excellent?
[Haha, as expected of Boss Lin, he speaks so directly!]

[Even students from Imperial University say that, do you guys even deserve it?]

[Exactly! Everyone's complaining and blaming everything. Are those prestigious universities blind? Why did they recruit students from the Forestry and Design Institute but not you?]

[Can you believe that the poems in Lin She's "Mythology" are already being included in textbooks?]

The phrase "Don't tarnish your school's reputation" is absolutely brilliant, especially for Lin Da University.

[Don't worry, these guys probably don't even know which school they're from. They can't smear anything. Really? Surely no one actually goes to the real school? Students from prestigious universities don't even have this much discernment? I'll be laughing at that for the rest of my life, hehe~]

After a series of comments, the viewers in the live stream started laughing, mocking, and being sarcastic.

In other live streams, people would probably ignore this situation, or even if forced to speak out, they would remain vague to avoid offending either side.

But Lin Xiao is different. She speaks her mind directly and is known for her capriciousness. She's not trying to gain fame or fortune through live streaming; it's purely out of interest.

This is also why people like to watch her live streams; in fact, it's also because those so-called "elite university students" choose to cause trouble in her live stream.

Because if Lin Xiao also feels that the actions of the major universities in recruiting Lin Dong are inappropriate, she will definitely not hide it, but will speak out openly. And her identity as a student of Imperial University can represent and influence many people.

But they didn't expect it.

Lin Xiao didn't buy it at all, and instead wholeheartedly supported Lin Dong, which ruined their plan.

"These guys can't cause any trouble outside, so they come to my live stream to cause trouble. Who's going to put up with them?" Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said rudely.

In an instant, the barrage of comments saying "[Lin Da is awesome]" filled the entire screen, constantly scrolling by, and many donations also began to appear.

Lin Xiao didn't care much about this and never really thanked her fans, but for some reason, her fans bought into it. They felt that Lin Xiao was genuine and different from other flashy and cheap girls who just wanted their money. Instead of thanking them, they got even more excited.

Lin Xiao said, "Alright, let's not talk about this nonsense anymore. Let's continue the live stream of the Journey to the West! We've already covered the part about Xiao Huohuo and the fake Monkey King..."

When the Yang Jian instance is launched, the main storyline will naturally proceed simultaneously, but the game's timeline is different from reality.

After passing through Guanyin Temple, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong subdued the White Dragon Horse, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. The four of them had already reunited and had gone through many hardships, including the ordeal of the true and false Monkey Kings.

Because of this, not only did Lin Xiao not participate in the Yang Jian instance much, but Xiao Huohuo also didn't have much time to participate in the Yang Jian instance.

Of course, with such exclusive storylines and substantial benefits, Xiao Huohuo would definitely not lose out even if he didn't participate in the dungeon.

But as the saying goes, Xiao Huohuo wanted both the true and false Monkey King storyline and the Yang Jian storyline, so he lamented for a long time after failing to participate in the final battle.

"Great Sage, where are we now?"

Tang Sanzang, riding on the white dragon horse, had beads of sweat on his forehead. Looking up at the blazing sun in the sky, he couldn't help but ask a question.

Compared to his high spirits when he set off from the Tang Dynasty, Tang Sanzang is now noticeably more dejected.

If you look closely, you can see that his eyes are full of confusion.

The main problem is that he has seen and witnessed too much along the way, and he feels that he is increasingly unable to understand some things.

Along the way, he saw so many people, so many villages, and even so many countries. Because of the Great Sage, their lives had changed, and they all had happy smiles on their faces, their eyes shining with light and full of hope for the future.

Most importantly, in many places, there are people from Huaguo Mountain teaching farmers how to cultivate crops and create things. If you ask Tang Sanzang why he knows they are from Huaguo Mountain, it's because he hasn't seen so many strange people like players outside of Huaguo Mountain.

After learning that the Great Sage was the Handsome Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain, these people were extremely excited and knelt down to worship him with utmost piety and respect, because their peaceful and stable lives were all brought about by the Great Sage.

In contrast.

Tang Sanzang did not see the actions of the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court. Even after the Great Sage defeated several monsters, he found out that those monsters were actually the mounts of some Bodhisattva or Buddha from the Buddhist sect, or some powerful deity from the Heavenly Court.
This surprised even Tang Sanzang.

Although they are merely mounts and not the bodhisattvas or deities themselves, these mounts have committed evil deeds in the mortal realm, harming countless families, taking countless lives, and implicating countless innocent people.

As Buddhist bodhisattvas and celestial deities, shouldn't they restrain their mounts?

After being subdued by the Great Sage, he only needed to say lightly, "I was careless for a moment and didn't watch over him properly. I hope the Great Sage will show mercy," and he was taken back.

Did those mortals who were killed die in vain?

Each and every one of these events was like a heavy blow to Tang Sanzang, filling his heart with confusion.

He didn't understand whether the Buddhist teachings he had practiced over the years were wrong.
Buddha shouldn't be like this.

He even began to doubt whether he could really obtain the true scriptures and save the world if he went to the Great Thunder Temple in the Western Paradise.

Could it be that he has a cognitive bias?

The true scriptures had actually appeared before him long ago; they were actually inside the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain…

"Oh, we'll be at Lion Camel Ridge soon, monk."

Upon hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Sun Wukong, riding a cloud and holding a book, replied with a grin.

Compared to Tang Sanzang, he was relaxed at the moment, because he had already seen through the so-called journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, which was nothing but a deception and a play.

He understood when he saw the Bull Demon King and his wife, Red Boy, and even Xiao Huohuo, as well as some other brothers, on the road.

This so-called journey to the West was merely an arrangement by the Buddhist community.

Therefore, he held back when he fought Xiao Huohuo before, making their fight appear evenly matched and difficult to determine.

Sun Wukong was itching to kill the mounts of those Bodhisattvas and deities, but he had to admit that they were indeed backed by powerful figures. Each time, the Bodhisattvas and deities behind them would appear in time, preventing Sun Wukong from succeeding. The main reason was that the situation hadn't yet reached the point of breaking ties with the Heavenly Court and Buddhism.

However, during this journey to the West, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong often argued, discussing Taoism and Buddhism. Unconsciously, Tang Sanzang also began to be gradually influenced by Sun Wukong.

"Lion Camel Ridge..."

Upon hearing this name, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but murmur it aloud.

Then, he shook his head, and his eyes began to harden.

Tripitaka, oh Tripitaka.

How can you doubt the Buddhist teachings you've learned since childhood, and the Buddha you've believed in since you were little?
After going to the Western Paradise and obtaining the true scriptures, they will surely be able to save the world from suffering.

As for those mounts that violated the heavenly rules, I'm sure the Bodhisattvas and immortals will punish them severely once they take them back, so you don't need to worry about them.

Thinking of this, Tang Sanzang's Buddhist heart was strengthened once again, and his overall demeanor improved considerably.

"Hehehe, as expected of the Great Sage, you knew where we were without even taking a step," Pigsy chuckled and flattered Sun Wukong upon hearing his words. Sandy, carrying his carrying pole, also smiled but remained silent.

Pigsy continued, "Speaking of Lion Camel Ridge, it's at the foot of Mount Ling. Getting here means we're not far from Mount Ling and the Western Paradise."

"Oh?" Tang Sanzang became interested upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "Bajie, you said that Lion Camel Ridge is at the foot of Mount Ling?"

“Yes, Master, I don’t know if this place is Lion Camel Ridge, but I do know Lion Camel Ridge itself. It’s not far from the Great Thunderclap Temple…” Upon hearing this, Pigsy nodded quickly.

"Alright, you idiot, stop talking." Sun Wukong closed the book, jumped down from the cloud, and interrupted Zhu Bajie.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy was puzzled, but he obediently shut his mouth.

But at this moment, Tang Sanzang's curiosity was completely aroused, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

He still vividly remembers the grandeur of Aolai Kingdom at the foot of Huaguo Mountain when he was there.

The same applies to Aolai Kingdom.

Lion Camel Ridge, located at the foot of Mount Ling, must surely be a Buddhist paradise where people live in peace and contentment, enjoying happiness and health.

Sun Wukong merely glanced at Tang Sanzang without saying a word.

He could see what Tang Sanzang was thinking.

But he knew all too well what Lion Camel Ridge was really like.

I just hope the little monk won't be too disappointed when the time comes.

……

……

at the same time.

Within Lion Camel Ridge.

Just as Tang Sanzang and his companions were about to arrive at Lion Camel Ridge.

The three cave masters of Lion Camel Ridge—Green Lion, White Elephant, and Roc—naturally received the news as well.

They quickly gathered a large number of demons and began ordering them to capture Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

"My men! Listen up!"

"Recently! There's a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East who's going to pass through our Lion Camel Ridge!"

"You must conduct thorough searches at all mountain passes and intersections! Report any suspicious persons immediately!"

Standing atop the mountain, the Green Lion shouted loudly to the little demons below.

At this moment, within Lion Camel Ridge, numerous lesser demons were densely packed, seemingly stretching as far as the eye could see, their numbers impossible to discern.

"Did you all hear that?!"

After the Green Lion finished speaking, the White Elephant beside him also roared loudly.

"heard it!"

"heard it!"

Upon hearing this, the numerous lesser demons responded hastily, their voices deafening, as if shaking the very earth.

The white elephant nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "Everyone who captures that Tang monk will be rewarded!"

Upon hearing this, the demons became even more excited.

After some planning, the last great demon, Dapeng, said with satisfaction, "Alright, you can go now!"

The demons then scattered in a noisy commotion, each laughing as they went to patrol and perform their duties.

Upon seeing this, the three demons—the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Roc—exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

The three of them were no ordinary monsters.

The Green Lion, also known as the Green-haired Lion Monster, was originally the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. After descending to the mortal realm, it became the great demon king of Lion Camel Ridge.

The white elephant, also known as the Yellow-tusked Old Elephant, was no weaker than the original six-tusked white elephant, the mount of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra.

The Great Roc is also known as the Golden-Winged Roc, and its background is even more extraordinary, being related to the Buddha Tathagata, and its power is unparalleled.

In fact, none of their backgrounds are simple, and the challenges faced by Lion Camel Ridge are incomparable to those encountered in the past.

After the lesser demons left.

The yellow-toothed old elephant approached the green-haired lion monster and asked, "Brother, Tang Sanzang is protected by Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain. Sun Wukong has killed countless monsters along the way. With him around, do you think we can really eat Tang Sanzang's flesh?"

Upon hearing this, the blue-haired lion monster had not yet had a chance to speak.

The Golden-Winged Roc, however, was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Second Brother, why boost the morale of others while diminishing our own? Sun Wukong is incredibly powerful, but are we just ordinary people? Those monsters who were killed by Sun Wukong were merely empty shells, all show and no substance. How can they be compared to us!"

The Golden-Winged Roc spoke with arrogance, but he certainly had the strength and qualifications to do so.

Upon hearing this, the green-haired lion nodded in satisfaction and said, "Third brother is absolutely right, second brother, you don't need to worry about it anymore."

“That’s true.” The old elephant with yellow tusks nodded without refuting.

It's because he was actually incredibly proud, but Sun Wukong was different; compared to others, he had more concerns.

"Big brother, third brother, I don't take Sun Wukong seriously. I'm just worried that, besides Sun Wukong, Huaguo Mountain might also attack us, right?" the yellow-toothed old elephant asked.

Upon hearing this, both the Golden-Winged Roc and the Green-Haired Lion fell silent, speechless.

The current Huaguo Mountain is something that Lion Camel Ridge can't possibly mess with.

Leaving aside the existence of the six great sages, including the Bull Demon King, many monsters, such as the Black Bear Spirit and the White Bone Spirit, also joined Flower Fruit Mountain along the way.

In addition, Huaguo Mountain has many players with considerable strength, who even the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sects are helpless against.

That enormous force would give even the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sects a headache. If they all rushed towards Lion Camel Ridge, how could Lion Camel Ridge possibly stop them?

“Second brother, you shouldn’t worry unnecessarily. Apart from the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect, I’ve never heard of Sun Wukong leading Flower Fruit Mountain to attack anywhere else before,” the Green-haired Lion said to the Yellow-toothed Elephant with a serious expression.

“That’s right. At worst, we can defeat that monkey and let him go. We have Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and even Tathagata standing behind us. I don’t believe he would dare to attack us,” the Golden-Winged Roc said.

The old elephant with yellow tusks nodded upon hearing this, feeling much more at ease: "Eldest brother and third brother are right." (End of this chapter)
