I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Looking at Huan Xu's head at his feet, Tao Mingzi's face did not show the pleasure of seeing his enemy die, but rather utter shock and astonishment.

Huan Tan, Huan Yu, and the rest of the Huan clan were filled with shock and fear. Huan Yu cried out "Father!" and rushed forward, only to be captured by the Six Spirits General and personally beheaded by the Search and Kill General.

Huan Tan then led a group of Huan clan members down from the West Terrace, intending to gather the disciples on the West Terrace to cause trouble.

But Zhao Wuji, who had already taken out the Kunlun Mirror, simply raised his hand and pointed, and the Kunlun Mirror immediately emitted a mirror light that covered Huan Tan and more than ten others.

The next moment, several loud 'bangs' were heard, and Huan Tan and more than ten other members of the Huan clan instantly exploded into a bloody mist, which drifted down from the sky.

Seeing this, the more than one thousand disciples of Yuanqiao Cave on the West Platform also realized what was happening and got up to flee.

Fire Spirit Immortal stood up and with a wave of his right hand, he cast the 'Fire Control Technique,' causing flames to erupt from the bodies of the more than one thousand Yuanqiao Cave disciples who were fleeing.

All that could be heard was the hissing sound of flames burning in the air. In the blink of an eye, the more than one thousand disciples of Yuanqiao Cave were reduced to ashes.

The scorching ashes fell from the sky like red blood, landing everywhere in the mountains and forests.

The entire mountain peak fell silent in an instant, all of this happened in an extremely short time, within just twenty or thirty breaths. More than a thousand people in Yuanqiao Cave, from the cave master to his disciples, were all killed.

Zhao Wuji reached out and took back the Kunlun Mirror, then handed it to the Fire Spirit True Immortal.

Fire Spirit Immortal flipped his hand and put the Kunlun Mirror into his sleeve. Then, looking at the seven cave masters who were standing there, their faces full of shock and confusion, he said, "The people of Yuanqiao Cave have been killing innocent people and causing great suffering to the living. I, the God, have carried out the law of heaven to punish them. They deserve it. Cave masters, there is no need to be afraid."

The words of the Fire Spirit Immortal made the cave masters immediately realize what was happening. They quickly calmed themselves down, cupped their hands in praise, and said that the Fire Spirit Immortal had rid the people of a scourge and had done immeasurable good deeds.

Fire Spirit Immortal waved his hand, and immediately people came forward to drag the bodies of Huan Xu and his son away.

Then, True Immortal Fire Spirit addressed the cave masters, saying, "Please be seated, everyone."

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and thanked him repeatedly, then stepped back and sat down properly, looking at the Fire Spirit Immortal with respectful expressions.

On the West Platform, the more than two thousand disciples from various caves breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene. They quickly wiped the cold sweat from their faces and sat back down, only to find their legs trembling, so they quickly pressed them down.

Afterwards, the servants of the Gushan Divine Palace removed the tableware and replaced the tables with tea tables. Twenty more servants then delivered the brewed spiritual tea to each tea table.

Fire Spirit Immortal picked up a cup of spiritual tea and smiled at the various cave masters and clansmen before him, saying, "Everyone, after a hearty meal, why not have a cup of spiritual tea to cleanse your stomach? Please."

Everyone quickly picked up their teacups and said, "Please, sir."

After finishing a cup of tea, True Immortal Huo Ling said to the seven cave masters before him, "I benefited greatly from discussing the Dao with you all in the mountains that day."

Everyone quickly replied, "Not at all, Your Excellency's Buddhist teachings are truly profound. After listening to Your Excellency's sermon that day, we all felt our minds were clear and our hearts were pure."

Fire Spirit Immortal laughed and said, "You all go too far. Although I have some knowledge of Buddhism, I have not reached that level yet."

After saying that, True Immortal Fire Spirit changed the subject and said, "Actually, I came to Beiju Luzhou this time to take care of a matter. Unexpectedly, I happened to encounter the grudges between your various caves, so I personally intervened and dealt with them."

At this point, True Immortal Huo Ling pointed at Zhao Wuji and said, "This young man has only been the Divine Lord of Jinling Prefecture for a short time, and he is too indecisive when handling matters, so I am giving him a demonstration."

Zhao Wuji blushed upon hearing this, and bowed, saying, "I thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency."

Fire Spirit Immortal waved his hand, then looked at the cave masters in front of him and said, "I have come here this time to establish a 'Heavenly Fighting Pavilion' in Beiju Luzhou."

Then, True Immortal Huo Ling explained the functions of the Heavenly Battle Pavilion to everyone, and everyone seemed to be deep in thought after listening.

Wang Yizhi, the master of Langya Cave, said, "If the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman truly has such a convenient effect, then this is indeed an extremely convenient matter."

Fairy Lingyun said, "This Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman is so magical that everyone will surely have one in the future."

“That’s good.” Xi Hui nodded and said, “It’s so convenient to communicate now, eliminating the trouble of sending letters.”

Tao Mingzi nodded and said, "According to what you said, this Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman is indeed convenient."

The cave masters were no ordinary people. After hearing the Fire Spirit Immortal briefly explain the function of the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman, they immediately realized its great value.

Fire Spirit True Immortal looked at the crowd before him and said, "However, I will not set up this Heavenly Fighting Pavilion in any of the divine palaces in Beiju Luzhou. I will choose a force that is independent of the major divine palaces in Beiju Luzhou and let them take charge of this Heavenly Fighting Pavilion."

Upon hearing Huo Ling Zhenxian's words, all the cave masters present immediately widened their eyes. Only Tao Mingzi sighed, knowing that with the current situation of his Hengtian Cave, it was impossible for him to compete with the other caves.

The first to speak was Wang Yizhi, who cupped his hands and addressed the Fire Spirit Immortal: "My lord, among all the caves in Beiju Luzhou, the strongest is my Langya Cave."

“Langya Cave is very strong,” Xi Hui said, “but my Jade Mirror Cave is not weak either.”

Everyone knows how much benefit there is in taking control of the Heavenly Dou Pavilion, so the various cave masters who were previously allied immediately became competitors.

As soon as Xi Hui finished speaking, Fairy Lingyun said, "My Daoyuan Cave is no worse than Langya Cave. In the grand competition among all caves three years ago, my Daoyuan Cave outperformed Langya Cave."

Wang Yi said, "That's because you're lucky. The strongest disciple of my Langya Cave is currently in seclusion." An Shi Gong said, "Your caves all claim to be strong, but the states you're located in are too remote and unsuitable as locations for the Heavenly Dou Pavilion. My Yangxia Cave is located in the very center of Beiju Luzhou, which has a geographical advantage and is the most suitable place to establish the Heavenly Dou Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, the cave masters immediately began to argue.

Just then, True Immortal Fire Spirit raised his hand to stop the argument and said, "Please stop arguing and listen to what I have to say."

As soon as the Fire Spirit Immortal spoke, all the cave masters immediately fell silent and turned their gazes toward him.

Then, Fire Spirit Immortal said, "No matter which of you you belong to, you are not qualified to shoulder the responsibilities of the Heavenly Fighting Pavilion alone."

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this. Tao Mingzi was the first to react and immediately asked, "Does Your Excellency mean that we, the various caves, should jointly take charge?"

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "That's right. I have already chosen the location for the Heavenly Battle Pavilion. It will be located at 'Meeting Immortal Mountain' in Liting Prefecture. The Heavenly Battle Pavilion will be jointly managed by your seven cave dwellings. Each cave master will take turns serving as the pavilion master every ten years and will be in charge of the affairs of the Heavenly Battle Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, the cave masters exchanged glances, and after a moment asked the Fire Spirit Immortal, "Lord, how do we usually divide the land?"

Fire Spirit Immortal said, "Since it is a joint leadership, I will grant you seven the authority to take charge of the 'Deputy Pavilions' and the status of 'Rotating Pavilion Masters'. However, the specific affairs of the Heavenly Fighting Pavilion will be handled by the current rotating pavilion master in charge, and the other rotating pavilion masters will serve as deputies to assist the current pavilion master in managing the Heavenly Fighting Pavilion."

"Of course, with this identity, although you don't have an official position, you are under the jurisdiction of the Buzhou Mountain Heavenly Fighting Academy. Therefore, you are not subject to the control of the various divine palaces in Beiju Luzhou, and are directly responsible to the Buzhou Mountain Heavenly Fighting Academy," said True Immortal Huo Ling.

Zhao Wuji, who was standing to the side, changed his expression slightly upon hearing this. Wouldn't this mean that his territory would have an additional local tyrant?

Upon hearing this, the seven cave masters were startled, but then overjoyed.

This means that after the seven cave masters became the rotating pavilion masters of the Heavenly Dou Pavilion, they were only under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dou Academy, and the gods and deities of the various states could no longer control them.

So before Fire Spirit Immortal could even ask, the seven cave masters all expressed their willingness to serve as rotating pavilion masters, and even took on the task of building the Heavenly Dou Pavilion.

Fire Spirit Immortal wanted this result, so after the seven cave masters expressed their opinions, she immediately recruited them and granted them the authority to manage the deputy battles and the status of rotating pavilion masters.

Subsequently, under the supervision of the Fire Spirit Immortal, the seven cave masters drew lots to determine their rotation order. After the results were announced, Wang Yizhi, the cave master of Langya, was chosen as the first ten-year pavilion master.

Therefore, True Immortal Huo Ling handed over the deputy position to Wang Yizhi and ordered the seven cave masters to build the main residence of the Heavenly Dou Pavilion on Huixian Mountain.

The seven cave masters gladly accepted the order and bid farewell to Fire Spirit Immortal and Zhao Wuji the next day. They returned to their respective caves to prepare and allocate manpower and resources to build the Heavenly Dou Pavilion at Huixian Mountain in Liting Prefecture.

Liting Prefecture is the prefecture where Yangxia Cave is located. Just as Anshi Gong said, Liting Prefecture is located in the very center of Beiju Luzhou, making it the most suitable place to establish the Tiandou Pavilion.

After the departure of the seven cave masters, the matter in Beiju Luzhou came to an end, and the Fire Spirit True Immortal was also about to leave.

"This is my imperial edict ordering the execution of Huan Xu and others from Yuanqiao Cave. You are to forward it to the Divine Palace of Guanling Prefecture." True Immortal Huoling handed a handwritten edict to Zhao Wuji.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Wuji asked the Fire Spirit Immortal, "Lord, are you going back to Buzhou Mountain?"

Huo Ling Zhenxian said, "I have already made arrangements for the Heavenly Dou Pavilion, so naturally I must return to Buzhou Mountain."

Zhao Wuji said, "My lord, I have a question that I have been unable to answer. I wonder if you could enlighten me?"

Fire Spirit Immortal said, "Tell me about it."

Zhao Wuji said, "My lord, since Huan Xu and his group are guilty of killing the demon cultivators of Jinling Prefecture, that is, the disciples of Hengtian Cave, why don't you let us stop him, instead of waiting until he has finished killing them before punishing them?"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit Immortal immediately looked at Zhao Wuji and then revealed a meaningful smile, "I am helping you solve your troubles."

Zhao Wuji was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression filled with confusion. How could this be considered as solving his troubles?
The Fire Spirit Immortal said, "The killing of those demons is nothing special; such things happen every day in the Three Realms. But I still have to punish Huan Xu and the others because after the Jinling Prefecture demon realm was completely wiped out and Hengtian Cave was utterly destroyed, the balance between the Jinling Prefecture demon realm and the Guanling Prefecture demon realm was broken."

“If Huan Xu and his men are allowed to retreat safely back to Guanling Prefecture this time, they will intensify their invasion of Jinling Prefecture next time.”

“Even the disciples of Yuanqiao Cave and the demon realm of Guanling Prefecture will enter Jinling Prefecture in large numbers, and even the demon realms of other neighboring prefectures of Jinling Prefecture will invade. At that time, Jinling Prefecture will be even more chaotic.”

"If such a thing happens, do you have the means to suppress them and protect the mortal beings of Jinling Prefecture from being affected?"

After hearing what the Fire Spirit Immortal said, Zhao Wuji seemed to wake from a dream and shook his head, saying, "No."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "That's why I solved your problem. The demon realm in Jinling Prefecture followed He Yan in causing trouble, which was an unstable factor. Having Yuanqiao Cave wipe out a wave of them will at least guarantee peace for the next hundred years. I also punished and executed all the people in Yuanqiao Cave, and in front of the six cave masters and their disciples, I gave them a great deterrent. After they go back and spread the word, no one will dare to recklessly enter Jinling Prefecture to cause trouble."

"In this way, Jinling Prefecture will be free from internal strife and external threats, and even the number of demons will be reduced by 90%. This will be the most peaceful time for mortal beings."

"As for whether Jinling Prefecture can move towards prosperity in stability, that depends on your abilities as the Divine Lord."

After saying this, True Immortal Huo Ling said to Zhao Wuji, "I'm leaving. You don't need to see me off."

As soon as he finished speaking, a seven-colored auspicious cloud rose from beneath the feet of the Fire Spirit Immortal, and in the blink of an eye, he flew out of the Gu Mountain Divine Palace and disappeared into the vast white clouds. (End of this chapter)
