Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1347 - 1345: The Subjugated Dream Demon

Chapter 1347 -1345: The Subjugated Dream Demon

The final outcome, of course, goes without saying. After Jiang Liu thoroughly enjoyed himself, the Dream Demon lay on the ground, motionless and on the verge of death from severe injuries.

The demons under the Dream Demon’s command nearby showed no intention of stepping forward to help.

For the demon clan, encountering a powerful opponent and submitting without resistance is entirely expected.

Since the Great Luo Golden Immortal-level demons on the side had no intention of intervening, naturally, Jiang Liu had no intention of attacking them either.

At Jiang Liu’s current strength, a truly invigorating battle no longer satisfies him at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

“Hmm, satisfying!” After a good fight, Jiang Liu felt incredibly refreshed, twisting his neck and arms as he spoke.

As his words fell, he looked at the Dream Demon, now on the brink of death from severe injuries. Jiang Liu then raised his hand, casting a Guanyin Mantra skill on him, rapidly restoring a section of his health bar.

Immediately after, Jiang Liu raised his hand to cast a Healing Holy Hand skill.

A holy object descended from the sky, emitting an invisible wave that swept over the Dream Demon’s body, slowly restoring the health bar on his head.

As the health bar recovered, the Dream Demon, originally on the brink of death, slowly opened his eyes.

However, even with his eyes open, the Dream Demon looked utterly defeated, lying on the ground without any intention of getting up.

“Hey, why are you lying there?” Jiang Liu stepped forward and asked when he saw the Dream Demon not moving.

“Aren’t you going to continue fighting? I’m going to fall down anyway, so I might as well not get up!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s question, the Dream Demon had a look of having come to terms with life and death.

Previously, every time he was knocked unconscious, Jiang Liu would heal his injuries and then continue the fight…

This situation was something the Dream Demon was clearly used to.

Seeing his demeanor, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but chuckle, then waved his hand, saying, “Alright, get up. I won’t hit you anymore!”

“I don’t believe you!” The Dream Demon’s face was full of skepticism as he looked at Jiang Liu.

No matter how he pleaded or threatened last time, Jiang Liu didn’t stop.

This time, having offended him, would he easily call it quits?

The Dream Demon wasn’t convinced. Seeing Dream Demon’s reaction, Jiang Liu found it genuinely amusing.

Without saying much else, he put the God-Forbidding Ring of the Tathagata back on his wrist.

With the God-Forbidding Ring on his wrist, naturally, the corresponding system prompt sounded again, indicating that almost all of Jiang Liu’s skills had been sealed and could not be used.

“Don’t think you can fool me like this!”

Even with Jiang Liu putting the God-Forbidding Ring on his wrist, the Dream Demon didn’t believe him.

“You can take off that God-Forbidding Ring anytime, such a guarantee carries no weight at all!”

“If you get up now, we can have a proper talk. If you continue lying down, I’ll take off the God-Forbidding Ring and spar with you again!”

Jiang Liu’s eye twitched. If the soft approach didn’t work, then the hard approach it is.

Dealing with the demon realm, it seems being tough is more effective than being gentle.

Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Liu’s threatening words, the Dream Demon immediately flipped up from the ground.

Getting up could just mean being fooled once at most, only possibly resulting in a beating.

But if he stayed lying down, given Jiang Liu’s demeanor, he would certainly get beaten.

Faced with probabilities, the Dream Demon naturally knew how to choose.

After getting up, the Dream Demon nervously watched Jiang Liu.

However, seeing that Jiang Liu truly had no intention of removing the God-Forbidding Ring, the Dream Demon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“The Sandalwood Merit Buddha truly has great skills! That God-Forbidding Ring from the Tathagata on you, yet you can take it off at will. Not just anyone can do that!”

After breathing a sigh of relief, the Dream Demon spoke to Jiang Liu with compliments, showing a sycophantic and pleasing demeanor.

However, Jiang Liu didn’t pay attention to these flattering words, instead seriously focusing on the Dream Demon: “Actually, I came to the Demon Realm specifically for you! More precisely, to ask for your help!”

“Oh? What does the Sandalwood Merit Buddha need my help with? Just say it, no problem!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the Dream Demon almost pounded his chest, appearing very straightforward in his response.

“Here’s the situation…” Jiang Liu then proceeded to explain the situation over at Chen Family Village to the Dream Demon.

Then, Jiang Liu followed up with a question: “So? I just need you to watch over those villagers and ensure they’re no longer disturbed by those dreams. This should be doable for you, right?”

“Merit Buddha, for other things I can’t guarantee, but when it comes to dreams, I can say I’m the strongest below the Saints. Protecting some ordinary villagers from being disturbed by dreams is just a trivial task for me!”

“Great!”

Hearing the Dream Demon’s answer, Jiang Liu smiled and said, “In that case, thank you very much!”

When it was time to fight, Jiang Liu would strike with full force, but when not fighting, his humble and courteous demeanor made him seem very approachable.

In response to Jiang Liu’s thanks, the Dream Demon waved a hand slightly, indicating there was no need to be courteous.

However, after saying this, the Dream Demon pondered for a moment, then cautiously looked at Jiang Liu and said, “Merit Buddha! I have something to say, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate?”

“Feel free to speak!” Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.

“If you, Merit Buddha, come to me again just to ask for help, you can say so directly. There’s no need for us to spar!” said the Dream Demon with a smile to Jiang Liu.

“Weren’t you the one who said you wanted to fight? I just fulfilled your wish!” Jiang Liu retorted to the Dream Demon, rather upset.

Even though he knew that asking the Dream Demon for help would inevitably lead to a fight.

But wasn’t it the Dream Demon himself who issued the challenge?

“Uh…” Jiang Liu’s words left the Dream Demon speechless, unable to respond for a moment.

Was the Merit Buddha right after all? Was this really a mistake of his own making?

“Alright, time is of the essence. Since this matter is resolved, please accompany me to the Mortal World!”

Not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer, Jiang Liu continued.

Although the Joyous Buddha was also a Buddha by attainment, his cultivation was only at the Great Luo Realm, whereas the Dream Demon was at the Quasi-Saint Level.

Moreover, since this matter involved dream issues, Jiang Liu naturally trusted in the Dream Demon’s abilities.

“Very well!” The Dream Demon had already recognized his subordinate position before Jiang Liu, so he nodded without any hesitation upon hearing this.

Instantly, Little White Dragon transformed into a white horse, auspicious clouds forming beneath his hooves, as Jiang Liu sat on the White Dragon Horse’s back.

As for the Dream Demon? He followed beside Jiang Liu as they left Yunmeng Marsh, traveling through the spatial rift between the Demon Realm and the Mortal World, returning to the Mortal World.

Upon arriving above Chen Family Village, Jiang Liu instructed the Dream Demon to keep a good watch.

Of course, if the person secretly creating dreams could be rescued, that would be ideal.

Then, Jiang Liu and the White Dragon Horse descended, landing inside the Chen Family Village.

“Master, how did it go?” a middle-aged man from Chen Family Village hurriedly approached Jiang Liu, anxiously asking.

“Rest assured, from now on, you will no longer be disturbed by those dreams!” Jiang Liu replied with a slight smile after hearing this.

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the middle-aged man from Chen Family Village was naturally thrilled and emotional.

“Ah, Master, if you were willing to marry me, all this wouldn’t be so troublesome…”

Beside them, Qiao’er, aware that Jiang Liu seemed to have found a solution, approached Jiang Liu, sighing regretfully.

“Amitabha…” However, in response to Qiao’er’s words, Jiang Liu just quietly chanted a Buddha’s name, without any intention of replying.

“Ah, seeing Master’s expression, he seems unbothered! I wish I had such troubles!” Zhu Bajie observed Jiang Liu’s expression, secretly pondering.

Indeed, some suffer from drought, while others die from a flood.

Jiang Liu announced to all the villagers that the collective nightmare issue had been resolved. Although some villagers were somewhat skeptical, overall, the atmosphere was mostly joyous.

As usual, Jiang Liu and the others stayed in the village. As night fell, the villagers gradually went to rest.

The entire village became quiet.

The Dream Demon, without a physical form, found it easy to conceal himself.

The Dream Demon’s consciousness hovered over Chen Family Village, secretly watching over everything and protecting the villagers’ dreams.

Thus, around midnight, the Dream Demon suddenly sensed a familiar force spreading through Chen Family Village.

“Indeed, the Merit Buddha was right; someone is creating dreams, and it’s targeting the entire Chen Family Village!” Feeling this very familiar force, the Dream Demon muttered to himself.

With the Dream Demon guarding, naturally, the ability to create dreams struggled to breach Chen Family Village.

At the same time, the Dream Demon acted decisively, beginning to trace the source of the power to locate the individual behind the scenes.

If the mastermind could be caught today, his task would be complete.

If not caught today, who knew when the Merit Buddha would release him?

So, for his own sake, he needed to make it a quick battle!
