I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Since Kitano Tenbu returned to Kitano-be after parting ways with Tenmei, he has been plagued by misfortune for the past month.

Because many chosen ones who had received missions came to the Beiye tribe one after another to rescue 'Fairy Hanzhi', the entire territory of the Beiye tribe, spanning 20,000 li in radius, was ravaged by chosen ones from all over the country in the past month.

Today, that 'countryside' is flooded; tomorrow, this village is burned down; and the day after tomorrow, another village is ransacked by a group of people destined for greatness.

In just one month, 36 out of the 37 townships in Kitano Province were ravaged, including the Zongfu Township, which suffered repeated damage.

In this month, the population of Kitano decreased by more than 30,000, and the area was full of ruins and rubble, leaving more than 100,000 people homeless.

Kitano Tenbu was completely numb. In the past month alone, he had personally killed more than seventy Chosen Ones. If we only count the number of times he killed them, it reached more than one hundred and forty times. On average, he had to kill each Chosen One twice.

But you can't kill them all, you can't kill them all at all. These chosen ones will be resurrected after you kill them, and then they'll come back to wreak havoc on you again.

Even though Kitano Tenbu displayed extraordinary physical strength, he still couldn't intimidate these chosen ones; instead, they became even more emboldened.

Kitano Tenbu kept explaining that 'Fairy Hanzhi' was no longer with the Kitano clan, but those chosen ones didn't believe him at all; they only believed their own eyes.

Therefore, the last rural village in Kitano Province was not spared and was once again flooded in by the chosen ones, turning it upside down.

But this situation finally changed three days ago. Three days ago, those Chosen Ones who were causing trouble suddenly froze in place. It took them a while to react, and then they shouted in despair, "How did the mission fail?" and "Who completed the mission?" Then these Chosen Ones who were originally extremely active and seemed to have endless energy suddenly lay down.

But this is also good news for Kitanobe; they can finally catch their breath.

Three days later, Kitano's group finally calmed down, so calm that Kitano Tenbu was somewhat afraid, fearing that these chosen ones were making things worse for him.

After more than a month of turmoil, everyone in Kitano's unit has changed a lot. They have realized that compared to these chosen ones, they are simply gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest.

"Where did these beasts come from?" A member of the Northern Wilderness tribe stood in front of his house, tears streaming down his face, cursing loudly. "My newly adopted Five-Spice Spirit Pig, only seven months old, has been stolen from me!"

Upon hearing this man's cursing, several members of the Chosen Ones immediately surrounded him, bombarding him with questions: "Do you have a mission? Do you have a mission?"

The man was even more devastated. These chosen ones showed no sympathy for his plight, but instead revealed expressions full of self-interest.

He knelt down with a thud, looked up and cried out, "Gods and Buddhas, I was wrong! Please send down heavenly lightning to strike these beasts dead!"

However, to this man's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds indeed filled the sky, followed by a loud rumble of thunder.

Those around him, seeing that he hadn't issued any 'missions' yet and hearing thunder in the sky, couldn't help but say, "It's raining, let's go."

Then the chosen ones dispersed, leaving only that one person kneeling on the spot, staring at the sky with anticipation, as if he really hoped that heavenly lightning would strike down and kill those chosen ones.

Meanwhile, in front of the altar of the Shinbu Temple in Kitanobe clan, Kitano Tenbu stepped down amidst the expectant gazes of the elders, deacons, and clansmen.

Elder Kitano immediately stepped forward and asked, "Clan leader, how is it? Has the complaint been submitted?"

Kitano Tenbu nodded and said, "I handed it over. I saw with my own eyes that the petition I burned turned into a beam of blue light and flew into the sky."

"That's wonderful!" Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this. "The True Martial Emperor will surely stand up for us."

Yes, although these tribes in Beiju Luzhou never believed in gods or Buddhas, and even their reverence for Zhenwu the Great was only to express their worship of Zhenwu the Great, they did not engage in activities such as faith or prayer.

But now, after being tormented by the Mandate of Heaven for a month, Kitanobe, who has never believed in gods or Buddhas, has begun to pray to the True Warrior Emperor.

Heavenly Court, Divine Thunder Jade Palace, Xuanwu Hall.

The True Martial Emperor sat high on the auspicious clouds, surrounded by swirling clouds and wisps of purple smoke. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "This is truly a strange thing."

The assembled gods and immortals standing in the hall looked over immediately, their eyes showing a hint of surprise. What in the world could possibly surprise the True Martial Emperor like this?
The two generals, the tortoise and the snake, who were standing on either side of the True Martial Emperor, were the same. Then, the tortoise general asked, "What matter could possibly trouble Your Majesty's thoughts?"

The True Martial Emperor said, "The Beiye tribe of Guanling Prefecture in Beiju Luzhou just prayed to me and submitted a petition."

"Oh?" The people in the hall were also surprised to hear this. The generals present, especially the Turtle and Snake Generals, had followed the True Martial Emperor to sweep through Beiju Luzhou. They knew the habits of the creatures in Beiju Luzhou better than anyone else.

The astonishment on their faces was palpable when they realized that the inhabitants of Beiju Luzhou had actually begun to pray to the gods for the first time ever.

Not long after, a petition from the Kitano tribe was delivered to the Xuanwu Hall by the envoy of the 'Four Duty Officers Hall' and presented to the True Martial Emperor.

The True Martial Emperor took the petition, glanced at it, and then immediately understood. He said, "The Northern Wilderness Tribe is filing a complaint. They say that a type of cultivator called 'Chosen Ones' has appeared in Northern Julu Continent. These people possess strange abilities, such as the ability to resurrect the dead. In the past month, the Northern Wilderness Tribe has been ravaged beyond recognition by these 'Chosen Ones,' leaving it scarred and devastated. They beg me to uphold justice for them." "Chosen Ones?" the Turtle General said, "They don't sound like some kind of evil or heretical sect?"

The snake general said, "I think so. Who would call themselves a 'chosen one'? This sounds like a trick played by evil spirits."

The person below, 'Zhang Lingguan,' said, 'To be able to wreak such havoc on a tribe in Beiju Luzhou and force them to pray to the gods, whether they are evil or heretical, I don't think they are ordinary people.'

The True Martial Emperor nodded slightly, then issued an edict saying, "Issue my decree that the Five Thunder Heavenly Lords of the North shall dispatch their subordinate Thunder God to patrol the heavens of Beiju Luzhou, investigate the situation below, and report back to me."

A spirit official stepped forward to receive the decree, then bowed and said, "As you command."

Soon, the decree of the True Martial Emperor was delivered to the Northern Five Thunder Heavenly Lord, the Northern Thunder Emperor who overturns the heavens and seas. After receiving the decree, the Northern Thunder Emperor immediately dispatched his subordinate, the Thunder God, to descend to the First Heaven to patrol the heavens and inspect the affairs of the Northern Continent.

This is also why the person who threw the pig earlier saw dark clouds in the sky and faint thunder.

A day later, the memorial from the Northern Five Thunder Heavenly Lord's Palace was delivered to the True Martial Emperor. After reading the memorial, the True Martial Emperor frowned slightly and said, "No wonder the Northern Wilderness Tribe was forced into such a state. Those chosen ones are indeed somewhat suspicious."

The snake asked, "Your Majesty, could it truly be a demon?"

The True Martial Emperor shook his head and said, "They are not demons. The Thunder Gods did not detect any demonic aura on them."

The tortoise general said, "So they are cultivators? But their sect is called 'Chosen Ones'?"

“No, not at all,” said the True Martial Emperor. “The report says that these people are neither Buddhists nor Taoists, nor are they Xuanjiao or Brahmins. Judging from their words and actions, they do not seem to be people from the Jambudvipa world.”

"Could it be an extraterrestrial demon?" Zhang Lingguan suddenly said.

After a moment's thought, the True Martial Emperor said, "It is not impossible." After saying that, the True Martial Emperor added, "Although the beings of Beiju Luzhou often make offerings to my altars and temples, the human realm is ultimately under the jurisdiction of the True Lord Lingtai. This matter still needs to be discussed with the True Lord Lingtai."

After saying this, the True Martial Emperor said to Zhang Lingguan, "You send an invitation to the 'Great Master of Fate in the Human Realm' on my behalf, saying that I invite the True Lord Lingtai to gather at the Divine Palace of Mount Heng in the North."

Zhang Lingguan bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Not long after, Zhuang Yan, who was playing chess with the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain in the Divine Palace of Mount Heng, received a request from Chi Ling to use the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman to project her image. Zhuang Yan took out the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman and answered the call, and Chi Ling's image immediately appeared before his eyes.

Zhuang Yan asked with a smile, "What is it?"

Chi Ling first showed the invitation from the True Martial Emperor, and then said, "True Lord, the True Martial Emperor has sent an invitation to gather at the Divine Palace of Mount Heng in the North."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain stroked his long beard and smiled, "This is indeed the right place to have been chosen."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said to Chi Ling, "You write back to Emperor Zhenwu on my behalf, saying that I am waiting for your arrival at the Northern Mountain Divine Palace."

"Yes." Chi Ling accepted the order, then took her leave and hung up the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman.

After Zhuang Yan put away the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman, the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain said with a smile, "Why did the Great Emperor Zhenwu suddenly invite you to a gathering?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess. It's probably because of the matter in Beiju Luzhou."

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious. You told me to seal off the mountain and not to care about anything that happens down there. What exactly did you do in the Northern Continent of Luzhou that attracted the attention of the Great Emperor Zhenwu?"

Zhuang Yan said with a smile, "It's nothing, just that I pushed forward a force."

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak asked, "What kind of power is it?"

Zhuang Yan placed a chess piece down, then slowly said, "Power enough to change the entire Northern Continent."

Three days later, a beam of seven-colored divine light, accompanied by boundless auspicious clouds, shone down from the first heaven and landed directly on the divine palace of Mount Heng in the north.

Then, a myriad of colorful clouds filled the sky, swirling and dancing, celestial flowers scattered, and amidst the divine light, a jade chariot with five dragons slowly descended from the heavens, guarded by thousands of celestial soldiers and generals.

Above the main peak of the Northern Sacred Palace, cranes flew and cried, auspicious clouds swirled, and the Great Emperor of the Northern Sacred Palace stood side by side with the Empress of the Northern Sacred Palace and Zhuang Yan, with a group of civil and divine officials and generals of the Northern Sacred Palace behind them, waiting for the arrival of the True Martial Emperor.

When the True Martial Emperor arrived in his five-dragon jade chariot, escorted by celestial soldiers and generals, everyone immediately tidied their appearance and then greeted him with smiles. (End of Chapter)
