The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 151: Achieve Merit, Take Power and Eat Melon
On the Flower-Fruit Mountain, Xi Mingzhang leaned leisurely against an old tree.

Not far away, Sun Wukong's eyes were red and flashing with flames of anger. The endless wailing and screaming coming from all directions made the flames in his eyes even more intense.

At this time, a slightly solemn sentence came:
"Xi Mingzhang, you are still so indifferent to the lives of living beings."

The man and the monkey looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in black armor who was holding a three-pointed, two-edged knife, with a vertical scar on his forehead, a handsome appearance, a graceful figure like jade, and a graceful figure. Behind him, besides a man who looked like a dog, there were six monsters of different shapes.

"Yang Jian, I seem to have told you before that you are most suitable to wear silver armor and black robe." Xi Mingzhang looked up and down at the young man in black armor:

"You are deliberately making yourself ugly. Is it because of the Third Princess of the West Sea? Or is it because your wife, who has been married to you for more than five hundred years, wants you to be uglier too, so that no one will compete with her for you."

"Hey, how do you know all this?" Xiao Tian Dog spoke up immediately after hearing this, but he felt something was wrong and quickly said:

"Xi Mingzhang, my master has come here to capture the demon monkey under orders. You can retire now that you have accomplished your mission."

"It's great that someone has stepped forward." After Xi Mingzhang finished speaking, Sun Wukong slammed the golden cudgel in his hand to the ground, shaking the ground and mountains, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Want to leave? None of you want to leave until the plague spell is lifted."

"Monkey, I have played with you for ten days and ten nights. Are you trying to get ahead of me? Believe it or not, I can make the immortal monkey head on the Flower-Fruit Mountain disappear into thin air with a wave of my hand."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the field froze. Only Roaring Sky Dog was unaware and shouted to Sun Wukong:

"Sun Wukong, this fellow's skill in spreading plague is unmatched in the world. Millions of soldiers and civilians in Xiqi nearly died at his hands. Have you ever seen the immortals on the Flower-Fruit Mountain?"

"Seven out of ten gods and immortals were poisoned by him and sent to the Conferred God List."

"So, let him go quickly, otherwise your monkeys and grandchildren will really disappear into thin air."

The fire in Sun Wukong's eyes gradually faded. He really didn't expect that there was such an evil god in Heaven. No wonder when he visited various gods in Heaven before, whenever they mentioned the Plague Department, their expressions were very strange.

"God of Plague, what exactly do you want me to do to cure the plague?"

"Didn't I tell you long ago to surrender?" A faint smile appeared on Xi Mingzhang's face.

"Okay, I admit defeat." The golden cudgel in Sun Wukong's hand turned into a thin needle and flew into his ear.

Suddenly, eighteen nets fell from the sky and entangled Sun Wukong tightly.

"If you are so affectionate and righteous, why should you let your temper run wild and reckless?" As Xi Mingzhang spoke, the screams and wails from Huaguo Mountain disappeared, and he continued:

"Monkey is impatient. I wanted you to fight with Yang Jian. If you win, I can also cure the plague. But you surrendered without saying anything. I really don't know what to say."

Nezha landed beside Xi Mingzhang on his wind-fire wheels, shook his head and sighed:
"Okay, I thought this monkey was mean enough, but you're no better than me."

"Isn't this a happy ending for everyone?" Xi Mingzhang said leisurely, "Without any casualties, and without having to do too much, the chaos in Huaguo Mountain will be resolved."

When Nezha heard this, he was silent for a while, then looked at Yang Jian and asked:

"Second brother, do you want to go back to heaven with us?"

"No need, Sun Wukong was subdued by Xi Mingzhang." Yang Jian shook his head slightly.

"Howling Sky Dog, your contribution this time is very obvious. Do you want to follow me back to heaven? I will ask His Majesty to reward you with a bone as big as a mountain."

Roaring Sky Dog's eyes suddenly widened, and he unconsciously gestured with the half-human-high bone weapon in his hand. His eyes were full of excitement, but when he saw his master looking at him, his iron bones suddenly hardened:
"I don't want the Jade Emperor's reward."

"Really? That's a pity. I just happened to get a monster bone that's over three meters long. I think you helped me just now. Do you want to go with me to the Plague Palace? I'll give you the monster bone, how about that?"

"Ah? How long is three meters?" Xiaotian Dog couldn't help but ask.

"It's probably the three bones in your hand." Xi Mingzhang replied with a smile.

"This"

Roaring Sky Dog looked at its master secretly. Seeing his excited look, Yang Jian also smiled. Although he didn't know why, this young Taoist liked to tease Roaring Sky Dog since he saw him, but he could sense that he had no bad intentions, so he said:

"If you want it, you can let him take it."

After hearing this, Xiaotian Dog suddenly had some ideas and shook his head repeatedly:
"Well, forget it. With such a long bone, I can't use the Hunyuan Xiaotian Hammer that Jade Ding Zhenren taught me well."

A few moments.

Xi Mingzhang returned to heaven with the heavenly army. On the way, Jade Ding Zhenren whispered with Nezha for a while, then left with a worried look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the God of Plague has captured Sun Wukong." Li Jing bowed and spoke.

"Xi Mingzhang, I didn't expect you to have such magical powers. I must reward you handsomely."

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was overjoyed, knowing that it was not his nephew who was in the way who captured the enemy of Heaven. He felt refreshed and comfortable all over.

"Humph!" Sun Wukong taunted:
"Old Jade Emperor, I never thought that you have such a mean evil god under your command. If I was caught in a trap because I didn't know about it beforehand, I will definitely skin this evil god under your command and crush his bones."

"The demon monkey is rampant." The Jade Emperor ordered in a cold voice:

"Push Sun Wukong onto the demon-slaying platform immediately and cut him into pieces."

"According to the order."

Li Jing and his son immediately escorted Sun Wukong away, but the monkey showed no fear at all, instead he said with a playful smile:
"It's good to be torn into pieces. It's great to be torn into pieces!"

After hearing this, Xi Mingzhang's eyes showed a hint of deep meaning. He probably guessed that the Sun Wukong in this world did not have a truly indestructible body, but he also had ways to protect himself and save his life.

Immediately, the Jade Emperor said loudly:

"The Plague God has done a great deed, and he will reward you with a hundred golden flowers, a hundred golden pills, a hundred jars of imperial wine, and a hundred pieces of brocade."

He paused and continued:

"Xi Mingzhang, if I remember correctly, the position of the Plague Emperor originally includes the power to oversee punishment and the laws of heaven. From now on, you must fulfill your duties conscientiously!"

"I accept your order."

Afterwards, since today was the day of the Peach Banquet and the annoying monkey was arrested, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother continued with the grand event.

Xi Mingzhang, as always, found a seat in a corner and sat down. However, due to the Conferred Gods Battle, no one dared to come close to him, especially when they heard that he was also in charge of punishments and heavenly laws and decrees. Who wouldn't be scared by this, making him even more reluctant to approach.

Xi Mingzhang also witnessed a lot of excitement at this Peach Banquet.

First, the heavenly general came to report that the Demon-Slaying Platform was unable to do anything to the demon monkey. Then, at the suggestion of the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor wanted to use the Samadhi True Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Taishang Laojun to refine the monkey into ashes.

Then Marshal Tianpeng came forward with a thick face. He used to be the general that the Jade Emperor relied on the most.

However, he always helped Yang Jian openly or secretly, and often did not put in enough effort, so that when the 365 righteous gods returned to their positions, they sent him to guard the Tianhe River and let him do his job well, so that they could out of sight and out of mind.

Then Juanlian accidentally broke a glass cup while drunk and was directly banished to the mortal world. Marshal Tianpeng was extremely indignant and got drunk. He protested for the injustice and kept saying that it was the Jade Emperor who did it.

Finally, the Queen Mother had to have him taken away to prevent the Jade Emperor from getting angry again and demoting him to the mortal world again.

However, when the Peach Festival was halfway through, Yang Jian personally escorted Marshal Tianpeng into the Yaochi Lake, with Chang'e following him.

When the Jade Emperor heard Yang Jian say that it was Marshal Tianpeng who entered the Moon Palace after drinking and molested Chang'e, he immediately became furious and demoted him to the mortal world.

Xi Mingzhang watched the show from beginning to end and enjoyed it to his heart's content without even the slightest thought of begging for mercy for anyone.
