I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Qingwu Mountain, in the Dust Demon Cave.

Nangong Wan came to the front of the Demon Lord Taichen and looked at him quietly. The Demon Lord Taichen showed a trace of shame on his face and said, "Madam, I'm sorry, I can't take you to ascend to the Thirty-Sixth Heaven."

"I never thought about ascending to the Thirty-Six Heavens," Nangong Wan said calmly. "I only seek death."

Demon Lord Taichen was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You've been husband and wife for six years, and you still can't let go?"

Nangong Wan said, "I said I only want to die. As for anything else, it doesn't matter to me."

“My previous trip to the Northern Peak Divine Palace was not to attend any female immortal banquet, but to report to the Northern Peak Emperor that you were about to ascend to the Heavenly Demon realm,” Nangong Wan said.

Demon Lord Taichen laughed and said, "I know."

Nangong Wan was stunned, looking at Taichen Demon Lord and saying, "You knew? You knew and still sent me?"

Tai Chen Demon Lord said, "Because I am confident that you will tell the Northern Mountain Emperor about this matter. I am confident that I can ascend to the Heavenly Demon realm and no one can stop me."

"Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes." Demon Lord Taichen laughed foolishly, "Since I was born between heaven and earth, I have been striving to ascend to the Heavenly Demon realm. Later, I obtained the Heart Dust Treasure Box, thinking that I could successfully ascend to the Heavenly Demon realm, but then I encountered Zhenwu Dangmo and was suppressed for several eons. I finally escaped the disaster and gathered the Heart Dust, and I was just one step away from becoming a Heavenly Demon, but then a decree knocked me down to the mortal realm."

At this point, Demon Lord Taichen burst into laughter, his laughter growing increasingly maniacal and mad. "Heaven's justice is unjust! Heaven's justice is unjust, hahahahahaha!"

Just as they were laughing, a loud noise came from outside the Dust Demon Cave, and then the cave door collapsed with a crash, smashing the monster guarding the door to pieces.

"How about my 'Breakthrough' technique?" Li Zhicheng praised to the people behind him.

Ren Xiaoyao said, "Impressive. I'll come looking for you if I ever forget my keys when I go out in the future."

As they spoke, Ren Xiaoyao and the other ten rushed into the Dust Demon Cave. Ren Xiaoyao took the lead and shouted, "General Yu Shu of the Grand Commander of the Human Realm has arrived here with an imperial edict. Where is the Great Dust Demon Lord?"

"Who dares to trespass into the Heavenly King's Cave?!"

A loud shout came from inside the cave, and then a group of demon generals and immortals led countless monsters out.

Then they realized what they were about to face: the Big Dipper Divine Sword, the Primordial Profound Ice, the Ten Directions Black Thunder, the Cloud Luo Treasure Umbrella, and the Seven Killing Divine Stele.
All sorts of immortal magic were unleashed, crushing everything in their path. The demon generals and immortals who rushed out were instantly reduced to dust, turning into a pile of broken flesh and bones.

"Utterly pathetic," Wuchenzi said. "Are all the demons here this weak?"

Gu Hanqing poured cold water on the situation, saying, "The powerful one isn't you, it's the magic bestowed upon us by the True Lord."

Wuchenzi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you need to tell me? I'm just saying that the True Lord's magic is powerful, which is why the demons seem so weak."

"Stop talking nonsense." Chi Ling's voice rang out from behind, "Go find the Demon Lord Tai Chen."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly acknowledged and then quickly entered the depths of the Dust Demon Cave.

Soon after, Chi Ling led everyone to the cave where the Demon Lord Tai Chen and Nangong Wan were.

Nangong Wan turned around and looked calmly at Chi Ling and the others who walked in, while Taichen Demon Lord quickly got up and attacked Chi Ling directly.

"How dare you!" Ren Xiaoyao and the others immediately stepped forward to stop him, but although the Demon Lord Taichen was sealed inside the Demon Cave, his demonic power was still intact.

Therefore, when the Demon Lord Taichen stirred up all kinds of dust phenomena in the Dust Demon Cave, Ren Xiaoyao and the others' spells could not harm the Demon Lord Taichen at all. Instead, the Demon Lord Taichen broke their formation.

As the Demon Lord Taichen rushed towards Chiling, all the attacks of the Myriad Dusts and Myriad Manifestations landed on Chiling.

'boom'

The entire Dust Demon Cave shook violently, and then the dense demonic dust dispersed and surged out of the cave entrance.

Deep within the Dust Demon Cave, the Great Dust Demon Lord stared blankly at Chi Ling, only to find her completely unharmed. In contrast, his myriad dust phenomena were shattered when they landed on her.

"Cough cough cough." Wang Lang, who had been choked by the demonic dust a few times, turned around and immediately laughed, saying, "Demon, if you had come to kill us, you might have succeeded, but you went to kill her instead. Do you think my general's 'indestructible body' was cultivated for nothing?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord Taichen took a few steps back, then muttered, "An indestructible body?"

The next moment, Chi Ling held the imperial edict in her left hand and said, "Imperial Edict of the Supreme Commander of Human Fate: Arrest the Demon Lord Tai Chen."

After saying that, Chi Ling waved the Pure Light Whisk at the Demon Lord Tai Chen. As soon as the pure light rose, all the dust fell. As for the Demon Lord Tai Chen, he was knocked to the ground by the whisk and bound by the pure light, unable to move.

Chi Ling pointed at the Demon Lord Tai Chen, who was bound by Jing Guang on the ground, and said, "Take him down."

Zhang Xianzong and Li Zhicheng stepped forward and took Taichen Demon Lord into custody. Then Chi Ling pointed at Nangong Wan and said, "Take him as well."

Gu Hanqing and Zhang Qiubai approached Nangong Wan, but Nangong Wan showed no resistance. She even reached out her hand to be bound by the Immortal Binding Rope and was then taken away with the Demon Lord Taichen.

When the many demon generals and immortals in Qingwu Mountain saw that Taichen Demon Lord and Nangong Wan had been captured, their morale plummeted. They no longer dared to step forward to stop Chiling and the others, and could only watch helplessly as Chiling and her group took Taichen Demon Lord and Nangong Wan away.

Several days after Chi Ling and the others captured Tai Chen Demon Lord and Nangong Wan, Tai Heng Jun and Ju Ling Shen led the gods to the place and captured all the demon and immortal officials under the jurisdiction of Tai Chen Demon Lord's Heavenly King Palace.

As for those demons without official rank, they were spared.

Chi Ling brought Tai Chen Mo Jun and Nan Gong Wan to Bei Yue again. Chi Ling asked Wang Lang, Gu Hanqing, Li Zhicheng, and Zhang Xianzong to stay behind to guard Tai Chen Mo Jun and Nan Gong Wan, while she led the rest of the group into Bei Yue.

"Go to the Imperial Secretariat," Chi Ling said. Led by a young boy, Chi Ling led Ren Xiaoyao and the others to the Imperial Secretariat. Upon arriving, they found the doors open, and a woman and a boy kneeling on the ground, weeping.

Seeing this, Chi Ling frowned and immediately stepped inside.

Upon entering the Hall of State Affairs, she saw Zhao Chongguo, the Minister of the Northern Mountain Divine Palace, sitting behind a jade table in the main hall. There was a pile of ashes at his feet, and from the corner that had not yet burned completely, she could tell that it was a talisman.

Chi Ling's gaze sharpened, but she still stepped forward and said, "Zhao Chongguo of the Northern Mountain Divine Palace, by the decree of the True Lord of the Spirit Platform, there are some matters that require you to go to the Grand Master of Fate for investigation."

Zhao Chongguo smiled slightly, slowly stood up, and patted the thick stack of documents on the table, saying, "From the time I advised the Demon Lord Taichen to be granted amnesty, the detailed account of everything that has happened over the years is written here. These are my charges."

Chi Ling said calmly, "In that case, take these charges with you and come with me to the Grand Master of Fate's Mansion."

Zhao Chongguo shook his head and said, "I can't go." He pointed to the pile of ashes on the ground and said, "I have already used the 'Self-Destined Calamity Talisman' and voluntarily fallen into the Avici Hell to suffer. I believe the people from the underworld should be coming soon."

As soon as Zhao Chongguo finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew directly into the Shangshu Hall from outside.

Then a group of ghost soldiers appeared outside the Hall of Ministers, followed by two ghost kings wearing sixth-rank "Qilin Auspicious Ghost Robes" and "blue sashes and white jade belts" and walked in.

The two ghost kings, each holding a talisman, walked directly toward Zhao Chongguo upon entering.

“Zhao Chongguo, Fengdu has already approved your self-proclaimed Book of Calamity. Come with us,” the two ghost kings said to Zhao Chongguo.

Zhao Chongguo nodded, and Chi Ling stepped forward quickly, saying, "Please wait, you two ghost kings."

The two ghost kings were stopped by Chi Ling and frowned, asking, "Who are you?"

Chi Ling cupped her hands and said, "I am Chi Ling, the Jade Pivot General of the Grand Master of Fate in the Human Realm."

Upon hearing this, the two ghost kings were immediately startled, and then quickly bowed and said, "So it is General Chi Ling. May I ask what orders General Chi Ling has?"

Chi Ling repeatedly said she dared not, as these two ghost kings were of a higher rank than her. She simply said, "I dare not give orders, but I am acting on the orders of the True Lord of the Spirit Platform to bring Zhao Chongguo back for trial."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King on the right immediately cupped his hands and said, "General Chi Ling, I'm afraid that won't work. The Underworld's 'Self-Determined Calamity Talisman' has already been approved and cannot be changed, otherwise it will disrupt the normal order of Yin and Yang."

The Ghost King on the left said, "General Chi Ling, we must bring Zhao Chongguo's soul back to the Underworld to report. You can go back and report to the True Lord of the Spirit Platform. If it is really necessary for Zhao Chongguo to go to the Grand Master of Fate, then you can directly discuss it with the Underworld."

Chi Ling frowned upon hearing this, but the Underworld was not under the jurisdiction of the Grand Master of Fate. After thinking it over, she could only report the matter to Zhuang Yan.

Just then, a dark, divine light flashed by, and Zhao Chongguo's yang body was immediately stripped of its life force.

Zhao Chongguo's body fell straight to the ground, while his soul was absorbed into the Yin Commander's Flag by the two Ghost Kings.

The two ghost kings bowed to Chi Ling again, then led their ghost soldiers to take their leave.

As the Ghost King took Zhao Chongguo's soul and left, the woman and boy outside immediately burst into tears.

Chi Ling stepped forward and put all the documents left by Zhao Chongguo on the jade table into her sleeve. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a piece of paper pressed under the jade paperweight, which seemed to have words written on it.

Chi Ling picked it up and saw that it was actually Zhao Chongguo's statement of purpose, in which Zhao Chongguo described in detail his original intention to propose to recruit the Demon Lord Taichen.

He believed that Beiju Luzhou could no longer remain in a state of being a no-man's-land, meaning it was neither Buddhist nor Taoist and was not under divine control.

However, the Northern Peak Divine Palace was unable to open up the situation in the Northern Continent for a long time. So when he saw that the Mandate of Heaven had opened up the situation in the Guanling Continent, he also wanted to use external forces to open up the situation in the entire Northern Continent and spread the majesty of the Northern Peak Divine Palace throughout the entire Northern Continent.

Therefore, he directly advised the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain to recruit the Demon Lord Taichen and bestow upon him the title of Heavenly King.

After being recruited, the Demon Lord Taichen will certainly not be content and will inevitably cause chaos in the entire Northern Continent, leading to widespread suffering and death.

However, Zhao Chongguo believed that in this way, the tribal separatist state of Beiju Luzhou would also be eliminated by the Demon Lord Taichen. At this time, as long as the Beiyue Divine Palace takes Guanlingzhou as its center and takes advantage of the expansion of the Great Han Kingdom, it can continuously spread the majesty of the Beiyue Divine Palace to the entire Beiju Luzhou. Then Beiju Luzhou will completely fall under the rule of the Beiyue Divine Palace.

As Zhao Chongguo had planned, the stubborn tribal rule was broken by the Demon Lord Taichen, and tens of millions of people died in various states.

At this point, if the Great Han Kingdom launches another attack on all sides, it can easily unify all the states and tribes, and the power of the Northern Mountain Divine Palace will also spread to the entire Northern Continent along with the expansion of the Great Han Kingdom.

In the end, the plan was perfect. When the entire Beiju Luzhou was brought under the rule of the Beiyue Divine Palace, and with the suppression of the Human Emperor's fortune in the mortal realm, the Taichen Demon Lord could no longer cause trouble in the mortal realm, and the calamity of Beiju Luzhou officially came to an end.

The only thing Zhao Chongguo hadn't planned for was that at this time, the Demon Lord Taichen had already absorbed enough Heart Dust and was about to ascend to the Heavenly Demon realm.

Of course, this had to be stopped, so at this point, the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak had to report the matter to the True Lord of the Spirit Platform.

In his final words, Zhao Chongguo wrote: "I, Zhao Chongguo, confess my sins, but I have no regrets. A short pain is worse than a long one. Bringing the entire Beiju Luzhou under the rule of the Beiyue Divine Palace through the hands of the Demon Lord Taichen is a matter that will benefit all generations. I am willing to bear all my sins and fall into the Avici Hell to be punished, to pray for the millions of dead lives of Beiju Luzhou. I have not failed the kindness of the Great Emperor of Beiyue above, nor the wish of millions of lives for peace below. I die without regret."

"Merits and demerits are not worth discussing; what matters is establishing peace for all generations."

After reading Zhao Chongguo's account, Chi Ling put it away with mixed feelings, then turned and walked out of the Shangshu Hall, ordering Ren Xiaoyao and the others: "Return to the Da Siming Mansion immediately."

Shortly after Chi Ling led everyone away, the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain and his wife arrived at the Shangshu Hall. Zhao Chongguo's wife and children, who were outside the Shangshu Hall, hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow.

The Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain personally stepped forward to help the two up, then said, "Minister Zhao's crimes are in the human realm, but his merits lie in the Northern Mountain. I will certainly not fail his loyalty." (End of Chapter)
