I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The Giant Spirit God was escorted to Buzhou Mountain by General Feng Lei, and Zhuang Yan received everyone in the Hall of Fate.

General Feng Lei first presented the Heavenly Court's judgment document to Zhuang Yan, and then said, "True Lord Lingtai, I have escorted the Giant Spirit God here by order of True Lord Yisheng. Please verify his identity, True Lord Lingtai."

Zhuang Yan glanced at the judgment document, then placed it on the table beside him, his gaze turning to the giant spirit god inside the hall.

Zhuang Yan merely glanced at the Giant Spirit God to verify its identity, and then stamped the judgment document presented by General Feng Lei with his seal.

Holding the official seal, he handed the document back to General Fenglei. General Fenglei took the judgment document and then bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "True Lord Lingtai, then this humble general will go back to report."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly and smiled, "Alright, General, you may go."

General Feng Lei took his leave, and Zhuang Yan looked at the still-dazed Giant Spirit God and laughed, "What, don't you recognize me?"

Giant Spirit God was startled, and then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "The sinful Giant Spirit God pays respects to the True Lord of the Spirit Platform."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "You have already been punished, so you are no longer a criminal. Rise."

"Thank you, True Lord." Upon hearing this, the Giant Spirit God quickly bowed in gratitude and rose.

Then Zhuang Yan said to Chi Ling beside him, "The Giant Spirit God will be placed under your command as a ninth-rank attendant."

Chi Ling stepped forward, cupped her hands in greeting, and said, "Yes, True Lord."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand, and Chi Ling said to the Giant Spirit God, "Giant Spirit God, come with me."

The Giant Spirit God was an honest man after all. Although he was previously the 'Giant Spirit Heavenly General' of the Heavenly Court, whose official rank was two levels higher than Chi Ling's, he showed no dissatisfaction at all. After learning that Chi Ling was his superior, he immediately replied respectfully, "Yes."

After Chi Ling left with the Giant Spirit God, Zhuang Yan sat on the throne, his hands forming a mudra, his eyes slightly closed.

After an unknown amount of time, a mysterious light flashed between Zhuang Yan's brows, and then four golden characters slowly appeared above his head: "Instant Refinement".

This was his instantaneous refining ability. Zhuang Yan formed a sword finger with his right hand and slowly pointed towards the direction of Beiju Luzhou.

The four large characters 'Instant Refinement' immediately flew to the sky above Beiju Luzhou with incomparably powerful refining force, and then fell straight down.

With a 'hum,' the laws of heaven and earth in Beiju Luzhou reacted instantly, unleashing an extremely powerful force of heaven and earth.

At the very moment the two forces collided, the word "instant" vanished from the phrase "instant refinement," leaving only the word "refinement."

Then Zhuang Yan activated the 'Limitless Infinity' function, directly imprinting the word 'Refine' into the laws of heaven and earth of Beiju Luzhou.

Zhuang Yan let out a deep breath, then sat cross-legged on the throne and began to refine the laws of heaven and earth of Beiju Luzhou.

The 'instant refinement' was broken by the great power of the laws of heaven and earth, and can only be forcibly refined using the power of 'limitless and infinite', which will definitely take a lot of time and effort.

There are two advantages to doing this. First, after refining the laws of the world in Beiju Luzhou, Zhuang Yan will be able to use these laws for his own purposes.

Second, break the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth on Beiju Luzhou, so that it is no longer independent of the other three continents.

However, refining the laws of heaven and earth is not so easy. Without the function of 'limitless and infinite', Zhuang Yan would not be able to do it.

Bao Jie and Xiu Huang, who were standing nearby, saw that Zhuang Yan had entered a meditative state. They exchanged a glance and then quietly left the main hall, closing the door behind them.

After Tianhe obtained the Emperor's Seal, he was blessed with good fortune, and strange phenomena frequently occurred within the Han Kingdom.

Today auspicious beasts bring good fortune, tomorrow wise men will come to serve, and even demons dare not cause trouble within the territory of the Han Kingdom anymore.

Three months after Tianhe Xun returned to the capital of Han, he once again launched an attack on the Beiye tribe.

It should be noted that Kitano Tenbu, the chieftain of the Kitano tribe, was still a prisoner of war in the Han Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom also took Kitano Tenbu with them when it sent troops this time.

This time, the Beiye tribe offered no effective resistance. In just two months, the entire territory was captured by the Han Kingdom, and Zongcheng was breached. The Beiye tribe chief's wife, Tianhe Caiping, led the elders and deacons to formally surrender to the Han Kingdom.

Tianhe Xunna surrendered and released Kitano Tenmu, bestowing upon him the title of "King of Kitano" and upon Tianhe Caiping the title of "Queen of Kitano," while also preserving the Kitano clan.

As for the elders and deacons of the original Kitano tribe, they were all recruited to serve in the Han Kingdom.

After conquering Kitano Province, Tianhe Xun established three prefectures and twelve counties, and then appointed officials to govern them.

Six months later, Tianhe summoned soldiers from all over the country and obtained 100,000 men. He then personally led the 100,000-strong army to attack the Nangong tribe.

At this time, the Nangong tribe was in turmoil because of the affair between Nangong Wan and Wei Junzi. Because Nangong Wan was determined to be with Wei Junzi, the Nangong tribe was divided and eventually the internal strife broke out.

The five elders of the Nangong tribe rejected Nangong Wan's rule and each led their own tribe to establish their own independent territory, leading to constant conflicts between them.

In this situation, the Han state defeated the elders of the Nangong tribe without lifting a finger and subdued them.

In the end, the Han Kingdom conquered the entire territory of the Nangong tribe in just one month, and its army reached the ancestral city of the Nangong tribe. Then, the Nangong tribe chief, Nangong Wan, surrendered.

Tianhe bestowed upon Nangong Wan the title of "Nangong King," preserved the Nangong clan, and continued to summon the elders and deacons of the Nangong tribe to serve in the court.

Furthermore, four prefectures and nine counties were established, and officials were appointed to govern them, thus completely bringing the Nangong tribe under his rule.

At this point, the Han state had completely unified Guanling Prefecture, and then Tianhe Xun issued an edict to suppress Buddhism.

As a result, a large-scale persecution of Buddhism began within the Han Kingdom. All ordained monks were forced to return to secular life or face death. All Buddhist temples and monasteries were demolished, and Buddhist statues in every household were confiscated and burned. Anyone found privately possessing such statues was to be executed.

Under such severe blows, all the efforts that Tianyin Sacred Realm had previously made in the Beiye region have been in vain.

However, none of this mattered to Ren Xiaoyao and his companions anymore. The Han Kingdom had obtained the Emperor's fortune and unified Guanling Prefecture, thus completing their mission.

"Finally finished, can we go back to Buzhou Mountain now?" Gu Hanqing asked, stretching.

Ren Xiaoyao took out the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman and said, "Let me ask General Yu Shu first."

But before Ren Xiaoyao could contact Chi Ling, Zhu Youjian suddenly rushed over, "Something terrible has happened!"

Everyone tensed up immediately and asked, "What happened?"

Zhu Youjian said, "Tianhe Xun has extended a betrothal gift to the Crown Prince, Tianhe Qi, to marry Nangong Wan as his Crown Princess."

"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other in surprise. After a long while, Wuchenzi asked, "Does Nangong Wan agree?"

“They definitely refused,” Zhu Youjian said. “Nangong Wan and Wei Junzi were preparing to flee Guanling Prefecture, but someone informed Tianhe Xun, who has already dispatched a large army to surround Nangong Wan’s palace.”

Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao immediately stood up and said, "Let's go."

So the group hurriedly arrived outside Nangong Wan's mansion, only to find it completely surrounded by Han troops, led by none other than Beiye Wang Beiye Tianwu.

Wei Junzi and Nangong Wan dismissed everyone from the Prince's Mansion. The two stood in front of the mansion's gate, their gazes firm and their demeanor composed, showing no fear whatsoever.

The next moment, Kitano Tenbu ordered an attack, and Nangong Wan immediately shielded Wei Junzi behind her, single-handedly holding off thousands of Han soldiers.

But at this moment, Kitano Tenbu personally took action and fought with Nangong Wan, while the others surrounded and attacked Wei Junzi.

Wei Junzi was completely helpless at this moment, and was no match for those soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Wang Lang said, "Wei Junzi's magic has disappeared; he is now just an ordinary mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken."

Li Zhicheng said, "It's his own fault. He didn't come when we asked him to accumulate merits. He only knew how to date. I wonder if he regrets it now."

"Oh no!" Zhang Xianzong said. "Wei Junzi is in danger."

Everyone looked down and saw that Wei Junzi had been knocked to the ground by the soldiers and was about to be hacked to death. Gu Hanqing finally couldn't help but intervene.

She raised her hand and pointed, and a cold light flew out from her fingertip. The next moment, the thousands of Han soldiers besieging Nangong Wan's mansion were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

Even Kitano Tenbu was frozen solid, but his physical body was strong, and he broke free of the ice in just thirty breaths.

Despite this, Kitano Tenbu's face turned deathly pale from the cold, and he trembled uncontrollably. He exclaimed in surprise, "The chosen one!" and then leaped away at lightning speed.

Then Zhu Youjian activated the teleportation, sending Wei Junzi and Nangong Wan outside the city.

Nangong Wan, who had been rescued, looked bewildered, while only Wei Junzi knew who had saved them.

Wei Junzi stood up and called out to the sky, "Old Ren? Wuchenzi? Zhu Youjian? Is that you?"

But no one responded from any direction. Ren Xiaoyao and the others stood on the cloud, looking down at Wei Junzi who was calling their names, and finally decided not to show themselves.

"From now on, we are strangers, and there is no need for us to meet again," Wuchenzi said to everyone.

When Wei Junzi saw no one appear for a long time, he slumped down, his face full of dejection.

Soon after, Nangong Wan stepped forward and said to Wei Junzi, "They must have their own reasons for not wanting to show themselves, but since they have helped us, they still remember our old friendship. We will meet again in the future. We should leave Guanling Prefecture as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to leave once the Han army arrives."

Upon hearing this, Wei Junzi had no choice but to rouse himself, stand up, and say, "Alright."

So the two were about to leave, but at that moment, a white light suddenly shone from Wei Junzi's body.

"Something's not right." Ren Xiaoyao and the others, who were about to leave, immediately stopped and looked down. They saw that the white light on Wei Junzi's body was becoming increasingly intense, and his whole body was beginning to become ethereal.

"Junzi!" Nangong Wan, unaware of what had happened, immediately grabbed Wei Junzi's hands tightly.

Wei Junzi seemed to remember something, his face filled with panic and his eyes brimming with reluctance. "Wan'er, wait for me, you must wait for me."

"My lord, what's going on?" Nangong Wan asked. "How can I help you?"

Wei Junzi was in tears. "You can't help me. I'm going back to my original world. Wan'er, wait for me. You must wait for me. I'll come back to find you."

As they spoke, Wei Junzi's body began to dissipate. Nangong Wan tightly grasped Wei Junzi's hands, but soon Wei Junzi's hands also turned into speckled stars and disappeared into the void.

Nangong Wan burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, and collapsed to the ground, repeatedly calling out Wei Junzi's name.

However, only the echoes reverberating in the empty valleys seemed to mock her infatuation.

Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao and the others were speechless. They could only sigh and leave.

Soon after, Ren Xiaoyao and the others received orders from Chi Ling that their mission was complete and they could return to Buzhou Mountain. (End of Chapter)
