[In the Blackwind Cave, the Demonic Qi around Elder Jinchi’s body became denser after a night’s rest.
[His will also began to blur gradually. If he switched from the Buddhist path to the devil path, he would often become a great devil.
[At this time, Elder Jinchi’s power had begun to skyrocket due to greed. Elder Jinchi had been catalyzed to the Heavenly Venerate realm in a short night.
[You had been secretly observing Elder Jinchi, and your admiration for the Buddhist League grew.
‘As expected of the Buddhist League. They don’t show any mercy when it comes to scamming their own people.’
[Without the Black Bear Demon, his biggest helper, Elder Jinchi turned into a demon. In just one night, he had reached the Demon King realm.
[Elder Jinchi, wearing a beautiful cassock, had completely lost his appearance after turning into a demon. He had also successfully turned into a middle-aged monk.
[However, anyone who saw the Demonic Qi overflowing from his body would not think that he was an eminent monk.
[Just as Elder Jinchi was about to leave the Blackwind cave, a figure instantly blocked the entrance.
“Hmph! Old monk, where are you running to?”
[Sun Wukong’s voice traveled into the cave, stunning Elder Jinchi, who was just about to leave.
[After that, Elder Jinchi raised his hand and took out a portrait.
[A huge palm smashed the stone door and headed toward Sun Wukong.
“What?”
[Sun Wukong was obviously stunned. He felt a powerful Demonic Qi in this attack, which was not the Demonic Qi he had imagined.
“That’s strange. Didn’t they say that there was a Black Bear Demon? Why did this old monk become a demon himself?”
[As Sun Wukong sighed, he waved Ruyi Bang in his hand and scattered the demonic palm that was attacking him.
[Then, a black light rushed out of the cave and struck Sun Wukong with more than ten palms.
[Each palm carried a huge amount of Demonic Qi. Even Sun Wukong had to take it seriously for a while. He kept waving Ruyi Bang to break the demonic palm.
[You should know that Sun Wukong was a 4th Protostar Demon Sage (Heavenly Lord).
[Elder Jinchi had only reached the 8th Nebula of the Heavenly Venerate realm after becoming a demon.
[There was a huge difference between the two of them. However, the demonized Elder Jinchi was able to fight Sun Wukong to a standstill. For a moment, you were very interested in demonification.
[If even an ordinary old monk could reach this level when the inner demon possessed him, then with your cultivation, you would be able to destroy the world.
[A few minutes later, Elder Jinchi’s Demonic Qi became fainter and fainter. It was obvious that fighting with Sun Wukong was very physically taxing.
[Furthermore, Sun Wukong had gradually found the old monk’s weakness.
[As he had just succumbed to his inner demon, Elder Jinchi didn’t have a stable foundation and could only rely on his strength to fight.
[Finally, under Sun Wukong’s staff, Elder Jinchi was directly sent flying and fell to the ground.
“Pfft…”
[Elder Jinchi did not die when he landed on the ground. Instead, he regained his senses at the last moment and his inner demon dissipated.
[Elder Jinchi recalled how he had snuck around and burned down the temple to satisfy his own selfish desires. Then, he was invaded by his inner demon.
[All of this made this senior monk, who had lived for hundreds of years, feel extremely ashamed.
“Old monk, you’re really tough. Watch me send you to hell!”
[Seeing that Elder Jinchi was not dead yet, Sun Wukong immediately smashed his staff at Elder Jinchi’s head.
“Wukong, stop…”
[At that moment, a cold voice came from the horizon. The voice seemed to have some kind of magic that made Sun Wukong’s hand stop moving.
“Guanyin?”
[Sun Wukong turned around and saw that Guanyin had already appeared midair.
“Bodhisattva…”
[Elder Jinchi got up in a sorry state, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Guanyin.
“Bodhisattva, I know my mistake, I know my mistake…”
Guanyin sat on the lotus platform and said kindly, “Elder Jinchi, you’ve been practicing Buddhism sincerely for hundreds of years. After your death, you should have gone to the Western Paradise and obtained the Arhat fruit.
“However, you’re greedy and are possessed by the inner demon. You stole the cassock and burned down the temple, violating Buddhism’s great precepts. Are you willing to repent and make up for your mistakes?”
[Elder Jinchi hurriedly said, “I’m willing, I’m willing…”
[Guanyin continued. “Since that’s the case, I’ll appoint you as the Protector of Buddhism. You will recruit believers for me in the mortal world to promote Buddhism.”
[With that, Guanyin flicked her sleeve, and a beam of Buddhist light entered Elder Jinchi’s body.
[Elder Jinchi, who had been seriously injured and on the verge of death, immediately recovered. Behind him, a round of Buddhist light slowly rose.
“Thank you, Bodhisattva. I will remember your teachings and carry forward the Dharma.”
[Elder Jinchi knelt down and paid his respects.
“Wukong, take the cassock and continue to protect Tang Sanzang. Go to the west to obtain the Buddhist scriptures.”
[After Guanyin finished speaking, she waved her hand, and Elder Jinchi disappeared. Guanyin then sat on the lotus platform and slowly left.
[Sun Wukong was rendered speechless. He picked up the beautiful cassock and returned to the burnt Guanyin Temple. He continued on his journey to the west to protect Tang Sanzang.
[You hid in the dark and couldn’t help but admire Guanyin’s actions.
[This was really the most awesome performance of making someone’s reputation fall and then turning them into a loyal dog.
[With Elder Jinchi’s cultivation, he would never have thought that it was Guanyin who had instigated his inner demon.
[At that moment, Elder Jinchi was undoubtedly even more grateful to Guanyin. He had made such a huge mistake, but Guanyin had forgiven him and even allowed him to become a Protector of Buddhism, promoting Buddhism in the human world.
“High, this is really high…” you couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
[Thinking about the uncouth Demon race and the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the Buddhist League who played with people’s hearts, you suddenly felt that living in the Demon race wasn’t safe. You had the thought of changing your allegiance and joining the Buddhist League.
[However, you soon extinguished that thought.
[The Buddhist League was too evil. They even tricked their own people. You were afraid that others would trick you if you were not careful.
‘Forget it, forget it. The next step should be to take in Zhu Bajie, fight the Yellow Wind monster, and cross the Quicksand River. Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha definitely can’t interfere. This Yellow Wind Demon…’
[You suddenly came up with a perfect plan. As such, you rode the demonic wind and returned to the Blackwind Cave.
“General Toad, Black Bear Demon.”
“Your subordinate is here.”
“Your subordinate is here…”
[The two demons appeared at the same time and respectfully bowed to you.
“Head east, and there’s a Yellow Wind Ridge. There’s a Yellow Wind Demon there. You two, go and tell him that I’m looking for him. Tell him to come to me as fast as possible.”
[You naturally couldn’t go in person for this kind of thing. A Demon Sage must have the face of a Demon Sage.
[The fact that two of your subordinates were going was enough to prove this matter’s importance to you. That Yellow Wind Demon wasn’t an insensible demon.]
