Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad naturally understood the Jade Emperor's implication and smiled with a nod: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The journey to the West, after ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, naturally the Heavenly Court wants a share, it cannot let the Western Heavenly Spirit Mountain take it all!
At the same time, they are secretly employing deceitful measures against the Western Heavenly Spirit Mountain, not allowing them to complete the journey easily.
Of course, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and others had long planned everything. As long as the Heavenly Court sends demons to obstruct the journey to the West, they will send high-ranking members of the Buddhist Sect to subdue the demons!
In this way, the world will only know that the Buddhas of the Western Heaven are subduing demons, and will not know that the demons they are subduing are the gods of the Heavenly Court!
