I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 67: Cause and effect are entangled, what will the future be like?

What Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of was the origin of Yinglong.

When he proposed three ways out to Yinglong, Yinglong's answer was very decisive about the one of returning to the four seas, which made Zhang Yuan feel strange.

Now that he has been subdued, he needs to know his origin. If he cannot know the root cause, it may bring unnecessary trouble to himself.

Even if trouble is inevitable, knowing his roots can make plans in advance.

In this era where gods, Buddhas, demons and all kinds of great powers are everywhere, it is better to be careful.

As for his motive for taking Yinglong under his command without knowing his true identity, it was because if he didn't subdue him, he wouldn't be able to get real blood. Secondly, a person with a background like Yinglong is hard to come by, and he needs a follower like Yinglong.

Now, he is no longer just trying to survive, he already has ambitions and ambitions.

In order to realize one's own ambitions and ambitions, the more followers that can be expected in the future, the better.

After all, there are countless immortals in heaven, and the Tathagata also has three thousand Buddhas under his command. Compared with these two huge forces, he is now as weak as an ant.

If one day in the future I have to fight against these two huge forces, how can I do it without a group of strong followers?

"Yinglong, let me ask you something." Zhang Yuan looked at Yinglong and said.

"Excuse me, General."

"As a dragon, it's really strange that you are trapped in this big lake. Since you followed me, I need to know your origin."

Hearing this, a hint of loneliness suddenly appeared in Yinglong's eyes.

After thinking for a while, Yinglong said: "General, have you ever heard of the White Dragon King family of the White Emperor of the West?"

Zhang Yuan nodded, "I once heard the great king say that when the dragon clan was at its peak, there were five dragon kings. The family of the White Emperor and White Dragon King of the West was one of them. Because they possessed an innate supreme treasure, the dragon bead, they not only had unlimited fighting power, but also became popular. Yun Buyu ranks second in strength among the five major families of the Dragon Clan."

"I am a descendant of the White Dragon King's family."

Zhang Yuan was slightly surprised. Yinglong's identity was unexpected.

"Since you are a descendant of the Five Emperors and Dragon Kings family, why do you commit yourself to the big lake on the Lion Camel Ridge?"

"After the decline of the dragon clan, the White Dragon King's family secluded themselves from the world. Later, there was a fight within the family. An old dragon took the dragon ball and left the family, and there has been no trace since."

"Later, there was a young man named Heping in the human race. By chance, he swallowed the Dragon Ball, merged with the old dragon in the Dragon Ball, transformed into a dragon, and called himself the Dragon King Heinghe."

"In order to recapture the Dragon Pearl, the White Dragon King family and the Pinghe Dragon King family fought several times. With the help of Piaomiao Taoist, the master of Pinghe Dragon King, the White Dragon King family not only failed to recapture the Dragon Pearl, but suffered heavy losses."

"The third battle to retake the Dragon Pearl was a battle for the entire White Dragon King family. My father died in the battle, and only my mother survived. During the escape, I was born at the Great Lake of Shituoling. She also died of her injuries soon after. Tell me everything before you die, and I can only stay here."

"So that's it." Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart after listening to Yinglong's words.

It is really sad that the White Dragon King family, which once ruled the western land with great power, has declined to such an extent.

"The Dragon King Pinghe gave birth to four sons, Ao Guang, Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Aoshun. These four people occupied the four seas in the east, south, west, and north. They accepted the canonization of the Jade Emperor and were called the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. From then on, the Dragon King of the Four Seas ruled Dragon Clan. After I became a demon, I fully understood my parents’ thoughts and vowed to take back the Dragon Pearl.”

"What about retaking the Dragon Ball? Reviving the White Dragon King family?" Zhang Yuan asked.

This question is important.

Zhang Yuan must figure out which one is more important in Yinglong's heart, reviving the White Dragon King family or following him.

If Yinglong only thinks about reviving the White Dragon King family, he will leave him sooner or later. If this is the case, he is not worthy of his painstaking training. Yinglong squeezed out a wry smile after hearing this, "Retaking the Dragon Ball is just to comfort the spirits of my parents. As for reviving the White Dragon King family, I have never thought about how a family that has completely declined can be revived? Since I have sworn, I will do it in this life. We must follow the general to the death and listen to the general’s orders.”

Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"It's not easy for you to take back the Dragon Ball. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are now the gods of Heaven. Being an enemy of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas is an enemy of Heaven. With your current strength, being an enemy to them is like hitting a stone with an egg. You can only act according to the situation." , be sure not to act rashly." Zhang Yuan reminded.

The reason why he said this was because Zhang Yuan guessed that one of the distinguished guests hosted by the green-haired lion monster this time was probably the Dragon King of the Four Seas. If Yinglong couldn't control himself and made an impulsive move, it would be difficult to end it.

"General, don't worry. I know the pros and cons and will obey the general's arrangements in everything." Yinglong said.

"It's best, let's go! Let's go back to camp."

After speaking, Zhang Yuan guided Changjun and Yinglong out of the Wanling Dharma Realm.

At this moment, his heart was not very peaceful.

His three most talented and valued henchmen, Yuan Ling, Changjun, and Yinglong, are all carrying hatred.

Yuan Ling has a grudge against the Bamboo Sect and Shituoling for genocide, Changjun has a grudge against Sun Wukong for killing his relatives, Yinglong is also entangled with the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and whether it is Shituoling, Sun Wukong or the Dragon King of the Four Seas, they are all at peace with the Heavenly Court. Buddhism is inextricably linked.

In such an entanglement of cause and effect, Zhang Yuan couldn't figure out what kind of retribution would follow, but the road ahead would be difficult, that's for sure.

But the matter has come to this, and we can only take one step at a time.

The most important thing at the moment is to improve his strength as soon as possible. As long as he is strong enough, he will not be afraid even if he fights with heaven or Buddhism.

Thinking of the series of things he encountered after arriving at Shituoling, Zhang Yuan knew that he might have a destiny after traveling through time and becoming a demon.

As for what destiny is, he doesn't know now, and he doesn't want to speculate too much.

It's best not to have a destiny, and he's not afraid to have a destiny.

...

The three of them returned to camp together.

Only one day has passed, and the construction of the camp has already taken shape.

Among the more than seven hundred demons, there is no shortage of people who can move mountains and seas. It is not a problem to get some stones to build a stone house, which is a matter of using their spiritual consciousness.

Hei Sha and other school captains and Po Bi quickly came forward to greet them.

"General." Hei Sha began to report, "The five hundred guerrilla troops have been organized. Based on the Yuzhen Yao City garrison camp, I built two new camps, one is the mountain patrol army camp, and the other is the guerrilla army camp. Each camp has a barracks, a training ground, a kitchen and a weapons depot. Next, we need to purchase some equipment, please ask the general to inspect it."

Looking at the newly regulated camp and listening to Heisha's report, Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction. With a new understanding of Heisha's ability, he praised, "Thank you, Colonel Heisha."

"I will never slack off in doing things for the general. Please do it, general."

After saying that, Heisha and Pobi led the way, followed closely by a group of captains and Xiao Zuanfeng, surrounding Zhang Yuan to inspect the camp.
