Chapter 457
The water at the bottom of the Heishui River is turbid.

Following the direction given by the God of the Black Water River, Ao Lie rushed straight over.

Soon, an underwater palace appeared before their eyes.

There are eight big characters written outside the gate: Hengyangyu Heishui River Temple.

There are shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolling outside. The waves are rough above, but it is calm below.

Ao Lie noticed something was wrong, and stepped forward with a sword in hand, shouting, "Little alligator, get out here!"

"Who dares to make a loud noise in front of the Black Water River Divine Palace? Capture him!"

The patrolling shrimp soldiers and crab generals discovered Ao Lie shouting outside the water palace, and immediately surrounded him, wanting to capture Ao Lie without any investigation.

Ao Lie's face darkened when he saw this, and he asked, "You are originally soldiers of the River God, why are you helping the tyrant to commit atrocities?"

"Considering that it is not easy for you to practice, please quickly move aside and let the little crocodile come out to see me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this, and then burst into laughter. "Haha, where did you come from, you little brat? Don't you see where this is? Do you think you can run wild here?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The previous river god's position was taken away by my master, and he didn't dare to say a word."

"Who are you?"

"My master's maternal uncle is the Dragon King of the West Sea. Be careful or you will be in big trouble!"

These crab soldiers and shrimp generals looked arrogant and looked at Ao Lie as if they were looking at a country bumpkin.

"Humph! I thought you were forced into this, but it turns out you are corrupting yourself!"

"It's time to hit!"

Ao Lie, who had never expected that there would be a day when he would be ridiculed by minnows and generals, immediately stretched out his hand and waved it forward, pouring out powerful magic power.

A huge whirlpool immediately arose at the bottom of the calm water, rolling forward and sucking all the shrimps and crabs in.

"Help! Help!"

"Sir, please spare my life!"

"what!!!"

The screams of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were heard, and soon the whirlpool disappeared, leaving behind a pile of rare giant shrimps and crabs, which were high-end ingredients that were hard to come by.

The water palace was in chaos after hearing the noise.

But the little crocodile did not come out. Ao Lie felt something was wrong and hurried to the closed door, raised his sword and chopped it down.

With a loud bang, the door of the mansion was broken open.

The aquatic monsters inside, who were originally as panic-stricken as ants on hot pot, were so frightened that they dared not move. They stood there trembling as they looked at Ao Lie at the gate.

Ao Lie ignored these minions and pulled out the turtle steward from among the monsters. "Tell me, where is the little crocodile dragon?"

"Sir, I don't know either!" The turtle steward with a white goatee looked terrified and sold out his king without hesitation.

"My king left this morning and never came back."

"Really? What if I find out you're lying to me!" Ao Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wisp of dragon energy leaked out. This was the first thing he did for his master after he left his position as a mount, and he would never allow himself to fail.

That wisp of dragon energy pressed down on Butler Turtle like a mountain. The bloodline suppression from the superior made him feel as if the short-lived grandmother who only lived for ten thousand years was waving at him.

"I, I remember now. Just now, a patrolling shrimp soldier came back and said that he saw the king heading towards the sea estuary."

"I think he might have gone to visit relatives at the Dragon Palace in the West Sea."

"West Sea Dragon Palace!"

Hearing this familiar name, Ao Lie was in a trance and showed a complicated expression.

Steward Turtle secretly looked at Ao Lie's expression and asked cautiously, "Sir, what do you think?"

"Don't count on the Dragon King of the West Sea to save your king. He has offended someone who should not be offended."

After getting the information he wanted, Ao Lie let go of Turtle Butler, glanced at him and said lightly.

Afterwards, Ao Lie turned around and left without caring about the monsters in the water palace.

When he walked outside the mansion, Ao Lie looked at the shrimps and crabs on the ground. After thinking for a while, he packed them all up and then floated to the surface.

"River God, with my eldest disciple here, what else do you have to worry about? You seem so restless."

An Yan saw the God of the Black Water River walking back and forth, looking uneasy, and couldn't help but wonder.

Tang Sanzang was also puzzled and said, "Yes, Ao Lie is the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. In name, he is also the cousin of the monster. With him, it will be easy to capture him."

Hearing this, the Black Water River God couldn't help but sigh, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. They are all relatives. Why would we help outsiders deal with our own relatives?"

"I went to the Dragon Palace to file a complaint, but it ended up in nothing?"

Having learned from previous experiences, how could the God of the Black Water River not be worried?
At this moment, a crack appeared on the surging surface of the Black Water River, and Ao Lie walked out of it.

As the saying goes, don't talk about people during the day and don't talk about ghosts at night.

The God of the Black Water River was a little afraid to look Ao Lie in the eye, so he quickly shut up, lowered his head and moved aside.

Seeing Ao Lie returning empty-handed, Sun Wukong asked, "Ao Lie, where is the little crocodile?"

"Brother Monkey, the little crocodile ran away. It didn't even go back to the Water Palace. It ran back to the Dragon Palace in the West Sea." Ao Lie shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the God of the Black Water River showed an expression that showed as expected.

Tang Sanzang also looked thoughtful.

Ao Lie seemed not to notice the subtle atmosphere. He took out the large shrimps and crabs and presented them to his master An Yan. "Master, these are the specialties of the Black Water River that I brought from the river. Please eat them first."

"I will go to the Dragon Palace in the West Sea and bring the little crocodile back to you, Master, to take care of it."

Seeing Ao Lie's performance, An Yan smiled and said, "Master believes in you, go quickly and come back soon."

Ao Lie looked at his master gratefully, his heart warmed, and he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I will go now."

As he spoke, Ao Lie transformed into a little white dragon and dived into the Black Water River towards the West Sea.

"River God, now you should believe it, right?"

After Ao Lie left, An Yan's eyes fell on the river god standing beside him.

The Blackwater River God suddenly felt a huge pressure, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "I believe it, I believe it. I am just too sensitive."

Zhu Bajie looked at the river food on the ground, swallowed his saliva, walked forward and said: "Ang'er, why don't we eat while waiting, otherwise the taste will change when these shrimps and crabs die."

"You guys eat. I have a feeling Ao Lie's trip won't go well. I'll go check it out."

An Yan shook his head and let Bajie and the others handle it on their own, then he rode on the white bull and prepared to follow.

"Ang'er, I'm familiar with the Dragon Palace. Do you want to go with me?" Sun Wukong prefers to join in the fun rather than eat.

An Yan smiled and waved his hand, "It's enough to have me here, Wukong, you should stay here, if anything happens you can take care of it."

What if they all leave and a little Alligator No. 2 appears?
Now there are not only Buddhist and Taoist forces, but also an unknown third-party force that must be guarded against.

After hearing Ang'er's reminder, Sun Wukong also remembered the black-robed monk. He no longer wanted to go and chose to stay.

the other side.

West Sea Dragon Palace.

The panicked little crocodile rushed into the Dragon Palace to meet his maternal uncle.

When the Dragon King of the West Sea saw the little crocodile that he had originally arranged to stay in the Black Water River running back, he frowned and said, "Little crocodile, didn't I arrange for you to stay in the Black Water River? Why did you run back without permission?"

Seeing his uncle, the little crocodile also looked aggrieved and said, "Uncle, you didn't tell me that Tang Sanzang's magic power is so strong!"

"If I hadn't run fast today, you would have lost me, your nephew, forever."

"Moreover, beside Tang Sanzang, there is a Taoist priest with unfathomable magical powers, plus a large number of disciples..."

"Uncle, I realize you think too highly of me, your nephew!"

The little crocodile was filled with resentment. How could this be a good job? It was basically asking him to give his head away to please the Buddhist sect.

Where is the promised compassion of Buddhism?

He only saw the word "cruel" in the monk. If he were really hit by the nine-ring staff, wouldn't his brain be shattered on the spot?
"Ahem!" Seeing his nephew's resentful look, the Dragon King of the West Sea was also embarrassed. He tried to divert his hatred and said, "That's not right! The Bodhisattva told me that day that Tang Seng was just a weak monk." "As for that Taoist priest, I didn't ask you to provoke him. I only asked you to target Tang Seng, right?"

"Could it be that you have other evil thoughts?"

When the little crocodile heard this, he was speechless. If he had insisted on taking Tang Seng alone, perhaps he would have succeeded now.

The bad thing was that he was too greedy and wanted to capture the Taoist priest as well.

Seeing that the little crocodile didn't say anything, the Dragon King of the West Sea understood what was going on. He said angrily, "You, how can I say good things about you? Your third cousin was like this too. He lost the Buddhist position I had planned for him with great difficulty, and now he has become someone else's mount."

The little crocodile didn't dare to talk back and could only silently endure his uncle's venting.

Finally, the Dragon King of the West Sea saw the little crocodile with his head drooping, sighed, waved his hand and said: "Since you are back, you can hide here for a while. After Tang Seng and the others leave, you can return to the Black Water River."

"Thank you, uncle!"

The little crocodile was overjoyed.

Suddenly, a patrol of sea demons rushed into the Crystal Palace, "Report! The Third Prince is back!"

"What? Ao Lie is back!"

The Dragon King of the West Sea sat up in shock.

Wasn't my third son taken away by the Taoists to be used as a mount?

Thinking of this, he looked at the little crocodile beside him and asked, "Did you see your third cousin when you were in the Black Water River?"

"Third cousin? Uncle, you also know that I haven't seen third cousin when I came here with my mother. How can I recognize him?" The little crocodile was stunned and explained quickly.

"But, isn't my third cousin serving as a white dragon horse for the Taoists? But I saw that Taoist priest riding a cow!"

"Could it be that my third cousin turned into a cow?"

The little crocodile then remembered that the cow seemed to be white as well.

“Forget it. It’s useless to ask you.” Seeing this, the Dragon King of the West Sea stopped asking the little crocodile and said to the patrolling Yaksha, “Go and bring Ao Lie in.”

Ao Lie stepped into the Dragon Palace of the West Sea again, looking at the familiar scenes around him, feeling filled with emotion for a moment.

I'm back again!

Father!

This time, I will definitely surprise you!
Thinking back to that day, his father chose to let me escort Master Tripitaka to obtain the scriptures, while letting my eldest brother stay behind to be the crown prince.

Ao Lie was very unconvinced.

How did he lose to his elder brother? Was it because he was born to the Dragon Queen?
However, since he followed his master, he has become much more relieved about this.

If it weren't so, how could he have turned a disaster into a blessing? He became a disciple of his master, learned magical skills, and now he has even broken through to the Golden Immortal.

"My child pays homage to his father!"

"Little Alligator, you are really here!"

When Ao Lie entered the Crystal Palace, he saw the little crocodile. After paying homage to his father, he directed his attack on the little crocodile.

"Come back with me and stand trial!"

The little crocodile's heart trembled when he heard this, and fear appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect that the young man in white was his third cousin. But didn't that mean he was someone's mount?

Sure enough, the rumors are not credible!
None of them are real!
"presumptuous!"

"Ao Lie, he is your cousin!"

When the Dragon King of the West Sea saw Ao Lie's attitude, he became furious.

He didn't take his father seriously at all.

"Father, let's not talk about the fact that I have never even met him. Even if he is my cousin, I will not forgive him if he makes a mistake!"

"Master is still waiting for me to bring people back. Father, please don't make things difficult for me!"

Ao Lie straightened his chest, not afraid at all, and looked his father in the eye.

The West Sea Dragon King saw this and his face darkened. A huge dragon aura pressed down on him, "Ao Lie! I think you've been ridden like a fool! Don't you even listen to your father's words?"

"Father, it was because of your words that I set fire to the pearl in the palace and was sent to the west to be a mount."

"Now that I have been rescued by my master and finally escaped from the fire pit, you want me to listen to you again. Do you still want me to flatter the stinky feet of the Buddhas?"

"I'm telling you! Don't even think about it!"

"I am a Taoist now! Even if I die, I will be a Taoist ghost!"

Ao Lie burst out with dragon energy and challenged the Dragon King of the West Sea.

It's really a great filial piety!
Ao Lie said domineeringly: "Today, I must take the little crocodile away. Father, even you can't stop me!"

"Golden Immortal!"

After feeling the aura from Ao Lie, this time, the Dragon King of the West Sea was really shocked.

You know, the Crown Prince Mo'ang, whom he designated as the crown prince, barely broke through to the Golden Immortal level after the Dragon Palace's full cultivation.

And Ao Lie was just a minor celestial immortal when he left, but after how long has it been, he has become a golden immortal?

Didn’t the Bodhisattva say that he was captured by the Taoists and used as a mount?
His mind was full of thoughts, but the more they were like this, the more Ao Lie's behavior made him feel that Ao Lie was challenging his authority as the Dragon King.

He immediately said in a deep voice: "Do you think that after breaking through to the Golden Immortal level, you can ignore me, your father?"

"I was the one who sent the little alligator to the Blackwater River. If you want to catch him, you can catch me too."

Seeing his father's stubborn temper, Ao Lie frowned and said, "Father, please get out of the way. If you don't hand him over today, the entire West Sea Dragon Palace will have a hard time in the future!"

"do you understand?"

"I don't know!"

"I am the great Dragon King of the West Sea. How can I be threatened by my own son?"

The Dragon King of the West Sea was also angry. He was so excited that he completely ignored many details.

Now it was Ao Lie's turn to be in trouble.

Although he didn't like his biased father, he still found it difficult to make a decision when it came to taking action against his own father.

Seeing this, the little crocodile breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he thought he was safe, Ao Lie spoke.

"I'm sorry, father."

"Rebel!"

The Dragon King of the West Sea was almost killed by filial piety.

Just when the situation was tense.

A melodious voice came from outside the Dragon Palace.

"How dare the West Sea Dragon King bully my disciple?"

"I am An Yan, and I am here to ask for your advice!"

Soon after, the Dragon King of the West Sea and everyone in the Dragon Palace saw a Taoist priest riding a white bull.

The Dragon King of the West Sea was shocked and speechless.

"Two Taiyi Golden Immortals!"

"It's over!"

The little crocodile, who also recognized the Taoist's identity, looked even more pale.

In contrast, Ao Lie looked excited.

He didn't expect that the master would go to the West Sea in person for him.

Suddenly, he remembered what his master once said.

I don't have any shortcomings as a teacher, except for one, and that is protecting my shortcomings!
