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

At this moment, the Chan Sect seemed to have anticipated their arrival, and two Daoists welcomed them into the massive Daoist temple.

Inside the temple, there was a cluster of buildings shrouded in spiritual light.

As they appeared at the gate of the building, an old man with the air of a celestial being was smiling at them.

"Welcome, Ancient Buddha and Hell God. Forgive us for not greeting you sooner," the old man said with a smile as he walked over.

He was Yang Jian's master, the Jade Tripod True Man.

Now that Guang Chengzi had been captured, he was managing the affairs of the sect in his stead.

As someone who had benefited from the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, he had been cultivating in his own Daoist temple, and had only recently been pulled out, which was, in a way, unavoidable.

Chu Hao looked at him calmly, and under his guidance, they entered the building.

They saw a long corridor paved with stars, and on both sides of the corridor were murals depicting portraits of the disciples of the saints.

They were depicted so lifelike that they seemed to be staring at the three of them, as if trying to see through their hearts.

Ordinary people would probably feel uneasy being stared at by these murals, their hearts trembling, and even their consciousness scattering.

Because these murals contained powerful forces.

These forces could influence a person's mind and easily shake their foundation.

Even the disciples of the Chan Sect needed great perseverance and willpower to walk through this corridor.

But Chu Hao was like a normal person, completely unaffected.

Even if the people of the Chan Sect had secretly added power to the murals targeting Chu Hao, these powers only targeted Chu Hao, so they would be particularly strong.

Chu Hao completely disdained this kind of power display.

The Jade Tripod True Man, who was walking in front, had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.

He wondered why Chu Hao was not affected at all. Could it be that the murals were broken?

They should know that these murals were specially prepared for Chu Hao.

They wanted to dampen his prestige and vent their anger.

But the result was that it failed.

Helpless, they had to pass through the corridor and enter the main hall.

It was an extremely simple main hall, and in that hall, there were chairs radiating divine light, and on the chairs were the great figures of the Chan Sect.

They were closing their eyes and resting, and when Chu Hao and the others came in, they all opened their eyes, their faces filled with solemn expressions.

It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with Chu Hao.

After all, he had captured their senior brother who was managing the sect.

But when they saw the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha beside Chu Hao, they didn't dare to say anything more.

In their hearts, the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha still had a certain status.

"Please take your seats, both of you," the Jade Tripod True Man said to them.

Above, there were three chairs.

And behind the three chairs, there was a blurry painting.

On the painting was a depiction of a phantom, which was the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

At that time, the phantom emitted a hazy light, and even if it was not activated, there was a heavy power emerging, allowing everyone present to feel a heavy force.

That force was not threatening, but under the influence of that force, everyone's words and deeds would be sensed by the saint, even if he didn't care about these things.

This could be regarded as the Chan Sect taking out the saint as a witness in order to confirm that Chu Hao would not go back on his word.

Chu Hao glanced at the saint's phantom and silently sat on the chair on the left, while the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha sat in the middle, and the Jade Tripod True Man reluctantly sat on the right.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin," said the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha.

"Since the Ancient Buddha has spoken, then I won't say anything else. Give me the saint's decree, and I'll release the people," Chu Hao said bluntly.

Even the Jade Tripod True Man, who had a smile on his face, was stunned and didn't know what to say, just staring at the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha with wide eyes.

The Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha didn't expect Chu Hao to be so straightforward. Shouldn't there be some preliminaries?

But since the words had been said, as the host, he had no choice but to say: "Guang Chengzi and the Antarctic Immortal Weng were at fault first, so it is acceptable for the Hell God to make some requests."

Saying that, he glanced at everyone and said: "As for whether you are willing to accept it, you have to discuss it yourself."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately whispered and talked to each other.

"Hell God, can we change the condition?" the Jade Tripod True Man asked with a stiff face.

He knew very well the importance of the saint's decree. If he was allowed to take it away, then the Chan Sect would suffer too much loss.

Chu Hao glanced at him and said indifferently: "There is no room for discussion."

"Hell God, you're going too far," suddenly, a rough voice came out.

The speaker was a strong man, and he stared at Chu Hao with his eyes, and a fighting spirit surged from his body.

As expected, in this negotiation, someone must play the red face and someone must play the white face.

Facing the one who played the red face, Chu Hao said coldly: "Are you worthy to talk to me?"

"Looking for death," the strong man shouted loudly and suddenly rushed up.

"You mustn't," the Jade Tripod True Man looked flustered, but he didn't take any real action. Obviously, this strong man came out at his behest.

Seeing the strong man come out, Chu Hao suddenly moved.

When he reappeared, he appeared in front of the strong man.

He raised his right hand, and flames ignited in his palm. The terrifying high temperature distorted the air, and the violent aura made the strong man's face change slightly.

Before he could react, that palm slammed down.

The strong man's face changed drastically, not expecting that the other party would be so decisive.

Boom——

The big palm accurately hit the strong man's face, and the terrifying flames directly slapped him away. Protective divine light, body protection treasures, etc., were useless.

Don't look down on this as just Chu Hao's incarnation, but its strength is also 70% of the main body. It is more than enough to deal with a strong man.

Faced with Chu Hao's attack, everyone was obviously unable to react.

They stared at Chu Hao with bewildered faces, their hearts trembling and empty.

Is this guy so fierce?

Chu Hao glanced at everyone with a cold face: "Take the saint's decree to exchange, who agrees and who opposes?"

As soon as these words came out, a group of strong people dared not look at him.

They were afraid of getting slapped in the face.

"Hell God, this is a bit inappropriate," the Jade Tripod True Man above said with a slightly gloomy face.

"If he hadn't attacked me, how could this have happened?" Chu Hao glanced disdainfully at the unconscious strong man over there.

The Jade Tripod True Man suffered a dumb loss and had to say: "Besides the saint's decree, what else does the Hell God need?"

"I only want the saint's decree, there's no need to talk about anything else," Chu Hao sat back in his seat.

On the other side, in the Hall of Law Enforcement, Chu Hao transformed into the Black Bear Spirit and swaggered out.

The person in charge of monitoring didn't notice that Chu Hao would disguise himself as someone else to walk out, so there was no reaction and let him pass.
