Originally, because the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team had become powerful recently, and due to their ruthless methods, Maitreya Buddha completely gave up on using force when creating tribulations for the team.
Previously, the Tathagata personally visited and discussed the matter, sharing the same thoughts.
But now, in Maitreya Buddha's view, since Xuanzang took in a White Mouse Demon as a maiden by his side, wasn't this just giving himself a breakthrough?
Such an opportunity, naturally, Maitreya Buddha would not waste.
After pondering for a moment, Maitreya Buddha quickly came up with an idea.
Dealing with Xuanzang and his group was immensely difficult, but handling a small White Mouse Demon was much easier.
No need for his subordinates to act personally, to avoid a killing calamity; just secretly inciting a few other demons to act would suffice.
Soon, under the covert instigation of Maitreya Buddha, a rumor appeared on their Journey to the West for Scriptures.
