I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 918 The Peacock Princess Arrives
No matter how.

Jiang Ming is no longer the weakling Tang Sanzang he once was. He has returned this time to resolve some past regrets and achieve a perfect outcome. He has the ability and strength to do so.

Eight months later!

The pilgrimage team set off again and arrived at a place called Tongtian River, which is located on the other side of the river.

There's a monster here, connected to Guanyin Bodhisattva, who likes to eat young boys and girls. Moreover, this monster is incredibly powerful, having reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and it's hiding inside, refusing to come out.

In addition, Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie slack off the whole way, unwilling to put in any effort.

So, without anyone noticing, the monster used the frozen Tongtian River to trick Jiang Ming into falling into the water.

Jiang Ming acted decisively, taking advantage of the chaos caused by falling into the water, creating a clone that transformed into the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Taking advantage of the monster's fear and distraction, he instantly killed it, reducing it to ashes and annihilating its soul.

As a result, by the time Guanyin Bodhisattva rushed over, her fish were gone.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was completely baffled and could only leave in haste. She came in a hurry, and she left in a hurry.

The pilgrimage team rode on the old tortoise in the Tongtian River, crossed the river, and continued their journey towards the Great Thunder Temple.

Then, the pilgrimage team continued on their journey, and Jiang Ming estimated that they had reached the challenge of the true and false Monkey Kings.

He even deliberately used a single strand of his hair to transform into the likeness of Sun Wukong and spent a long time playing with the Six-Eared Macaque. In the end, his hair used its great magical powers to escape.

Basically, they come and go without a trace. It's as if they're just messing around for no reason.

Then, we finally arrived at Lion Camel Ridge.

There is indeed something interesting happening at Lion Camel Ridge.

That was Princess Peacock.

This Red Sparrow Princess is theoretically considered a powerful figure in the Peacock lineage, which prospered because of Kong Xuan, the Peacock Great Bright King Bodhisattva.

Princess Peacock is now the queen of the Peacock Clan. However, on the surface, the queen can only be the Peacock Great Bright King Bodhisattva.

Of course, what's interesting is that the Golden-Winged Roc was indeed very interested in Kong Xuan's younger brother, the Peacock Princess.

Princess Peacock's cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. She possessed a powerful acquired treasure, the Colorless Peacock Feather Fan, which could even trick the Golden-Winged Roc.

Jiang Ming had little affection for any of the monsters in Lion Camel Ridge, except for the Peacock Princess.

He's here this time to find a way to make the monsters of Lion Camel Ridge devour him.

After much thought, Jiang Ming concluded that no matter if he invited other celestial deities or Buddhist Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they would certainly be unwilling to use excessive force.

However, the original description of Lion Camel Ridge reads, "Skulls piled up like mountains, bones formed like forests. Human hair was matted into felt, and human flesh rotted into mud and dust. Human tendons were wrapped around trees, dry and shiny like silver. It was truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and indeed, it was stinking and unbearable. To the east, lesser demons took living people and butchered them; to the west, wicked demons cooked and boiled human flesh."

Too many people have died here, more than a million, even tens of millions. They are worse than animals.

The fact that the three monsters here got away scot-free after doing such a thing is incredibly ironic.

However, Jiang Ming wouldn't think that way.

After thinking it over, he remembered the disguise he had used not long ago: the fake Monkey King.

Since that's the case, let the fake Monkey King kill these three monsters!

Just in time, his cultivation level has improved again, and he has recovered to the level of a Quasi-Saint who has slain his second corpse.

With Jiang Ming's combat strength now restored to its current level, he is invincible at the Quasi-Saint realm. Even using a single evil corpse clone, he could kill the three wicked monsters here.

“Disciples, look at that mountain ahead.”

Upon arriving at Lion Camel Ridge, Jiang Ming took the initiative to speak.

“Master, as the saying goes, there is always a way for travelers to cross mountains and a way for ferries to cross deep waters. Master, there must be a way up the mountain. Don’t worry, Master, there must be a way up the mountain. We will clear the way for you, just walk through.”

The Six-Eared Macaque spoke.

Having endured so many hardships, eight years have passed, and the Six-Eared Macaque has grown a lot, becoming much more docile and less unruly than before.

Nowadays, even the Six-Eared Macaque has learned to be cunning and sly, and is unwilling to put in much effort. He has probably realized that on the journey to the West, monsters with powerful backers are all safe, while monsters without backers can be killed at will.

"In that case, let's go up the mountain."

Jiang Ming followed the natural course of things.

"Hey, elder on the mountain path. Don't go any further."

Just then, a woman appeared in the distance and called out from afar.

"Wukong, what is that female benefactor shouting?"

Jiang Ming followed suit and asked.

"Elder, don't go any further." The woman's voice rang out again.

"Apprentices, listen. What is she shouting?"

Jiang Ming stopped and asked.

“Monk, don’t go any further. There’s a group of monsters on the mountain that prey on passersby.”

The woman continued speaking.

It was at this moment that Pigsy saw her and said, "Master, she is a beautiful woman. She said there are man-eating monsters on the mountain."

"Is there a monster?"

Jiang Ming immediately spoke up.

"Master, let me go and find out what's going on."

Sun Wukong spoke.

"I'll go."

Pigsy immediately chimed in.

"Bajie, you're ugly, don't scare people. Wukong, you should go instead."

Jiang Ming spoke up.

"Hmph, I think he's uglier than me."

Pigsy complained with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, elder sister, elder sister, this humble monk has made an inquiry."

Sun Wukong spoke.

"You monkey, with your hairy face and thunderous mouth, you look like a little monk, you're so ugly. Where did you come from?"

The woman spoke.

"We are monks from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on our way to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek Buddhist scriptures. Elder sister, you just mentioned that monsters eat people. My master sent me here to ask for directions. What kind of monsters are they? I, Old Sun, will deal with them so we can continue our journey westward."

Sun Wukong spoke.

"Hmph, you little monk, you're really arrogant. You don't know your own limitations. Those monsters are incredibly powerful. How are you going to deal with them?"

The Peacock Princess transformed into a woman.

"Are you a relative or a neighbor of that monster?"

Sun Wukong said with dissatisfaction.

"What are you talking about?"

Princess Peacock turned her head away, unwilling to pay any attention to the Six-Eared Macaque.

"Otherwise, how can you embolden others and boost the monster's prestige?"

The Six-Eared Macaque said.

"I'm afraid I'll scare you, little monk, if I tell you. You probably have never heard of such a powerful monster before."

Princess Peacock continued.

"Oh, then tell me, how powerful are these monsters?"

Sun Wukong retorted, unconvinced.

"I heard that if that monster were to arrive at Mount Ling, all five hundred Arhats would personally come out to greet him. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are his friends, and the immortals of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and the Eight Caves often gather with him for drinks. The Ten Kings of Hell address him as their brother."

Princess Peacock spoke.

He was naturally referring to the Golden-Winged Roc.

"Hahaha, if that monster knew I, Old Sun, was here, he would have packed his bags and left long ago."

The Six-Eared Macaque retorted defiantly.

"Hmph, what a loud tone."

Princess Peacock said dismissively.

She was well aware of what the Six-Eared Macaque had done; it certainly sounded impressive, but his end wasn't good. Now, she could be considered to have redeemed herself, finding an organization and joining the Buddhist order.
