I am a fairy in Journey to the West

After Liu Yanchang and his son were sent away by that celestial light, they flew tens of thousands of miles before being rescued by an immortal and temporarily escaped their predicament.

This sage was none other than Murugan, the son of Shiva. After settling down with Murugan for a few days, Liu Yanchang was startled by a loud noise.

He hurriedly went out of the wooden house and saw Mulugan sitting in meditation outside dressed in a white robe, so he went up to him and asked, "Immortal, what was that sound just now?"

Murugan stood up and said to Liu Yanchang, "You asked me to save your wife a few days ago, but I don't have the ability. The loud noise just now was the sound of your wife being tortured."

"My wife is being tortured?" Liu Yanchang was stunned upon hearing this. "Didn't the immortal say that my wife would be executed?"

Mulugan laughed and said, "Perhaps because of your father-in-law and mother-in-law, the Third Holy Mother was not executed, but was suppressed under Tao Mountain by the Divine Emperor."

“That loud bang just now was the sound of Tao Shan hitting the ground,” Murugan said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanchang was overjoyed and said, "So my wife isn't dead?"

“He’s not dead,” Murugan said, shaking his head.

Liu Yanchang burst into tears of joy. After a moment, he quickly stood up and said, "That's wonderful! I'm going to find my wife. No matter where she is, I'll stay with her."

After saying this, Liu Yanchang went into the house and carried out Liu Chenxiang, who was still fast asleep. He said to Mu Lugan, "Immortal, I will repay your life-saving grace later. Please show me the direction where my wife is."

Murugan, however, said, "I advise you not to go to the Three Holy Mothers."

Liu Yanchang was taken aback. "Why?"

Mulugan said, "Even if you reach Taoshan, you won't be able to meet her. Instead, you'll encounter people from the Chenhuan Jade Mansion, who are currently searching for Liu Chenxiang all over the mountains."

Liu Yanchang fell silent upon hearing this. "Even tigers don't eat their cubs. No matter what, Chenxiang is the grandson of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain. How could he bear to kill his own grandson?"

Mulugan said, "It was the people from the Chenhuan Jade Palace who captured Liu Chenxiang; the Great Emperor of the Western Peak has no jurisdiction over them."

Liu Yanchang was skeptical and asked, "I don't understand matters of the Heavenly Court. Is that really true?"

Murugan said helplessly, "Your son has received the blessing of the original Shiva, so I have no reason to lie to you."

“Yes, he really didn’t lie to you. The Great Emperor of the Western Peak has no jurisdiction over the affairs of our Dust Realm Jade Palace.” A clear voice rang out.

Murugan's expression changed, and he immediately shielded Liu Yanchang and his son behind him.

Liu Yanchang looked over from Mulugan's shoulder and saw that the Red-Robed Grand Commandant had landed with three divine generals.

"You guys are pretty good at hiding, making me search for so long." Chi Ling's gaze fell on Mulugan. "What are you Brahmanists trying to do by getting involved in this?"

Murugan clasped his hands together, bowed to Chiling, and then said with a smile, "Chiling, this Liu Chenxiang has received the blessing of my ancestor Shiva, so all of us Brahma disciples have the responsibility to protect this child."

"Oh, I see." Chi Ling laughed, "Then there's nothing more to say, only the clash of swords."

After saying that, Chi Ling waved her hand and said, "Take down Liu Yanchang and his son, as well as this Buddhist immortal."

General Bi Huo, General Bi Zhen, and General Tian Wu received the order and then charged forward, each wielding their weapons and magical artifacts.

General Bi Huo held the Xuanhuo Spear, its flames blazing, and thrust it straight at Mulugan's face.

Murugan held no weapons or magical artifacts; he simply raised his right hand slowly and then threw a punch.

With a deafening 'bang', the Xuanhuo Spear in General Bi Huo's hand was instantly knocked away by the punch. Then, the remaining force of the punch struck General Bi Huo in the chest.

General Bi Huo let out a muffled groan and flew backward, crashing through four or five trees before falling to the ground, where he vomited blood.

General Bi Zhen spun through the air, his Ba Zhen Blade tearing through the air and slashing straight at Mulugan's head.

Mulugan swiftly turned around and threw a punch, sending General Bizhen and his Bazhen sword flying.

At the same time, General Tianwu's 'Tianwu Rope' landed on Liu Yanchang, instantly binding Liu Yanchang and Liu Chenxiang. Then, with a gentle pull, Liu Yanchang and his son flew towards General Tianwu.

Upon seeing this, Mulugan hurriedly reached out and grabbed Liu Yanchang's ankle, but Chi Ling behind him took out the Xuanjin slingshot. As soon as she drew the bow, the divine blade shot out and struck Mulugan's wrist with a 'snap'.

Murugan cried out in pain and quickly released Liu Yanchang. He glanced at his wrist and saw a bright red lump of flesh that had instantly appeared on it.

Just as General Tianwu was about to seize Liu Yanchang, the immortal light on Liu Chenxiang's body flashed again, and Tianwu's rope was instantly dispelled by the immortal light.

Seeing this, Namurugan immediately gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, leaping forward and unleashing a powerful punch that sent General Tianwu flying from over ten feet away.

Chi Ling pulled back the Xuanjin slingshot again, and in an instant, she unleashed more than a dozen divine blades. These blades pierced through the air, blocking Mulugan's escape route from all angles.

But Murugan had no intention of dodging at all. He directly unleashed his fists, knocking down all of the dozen or so divine blades.

Then the fist wind rushed straight towards Chi Ling. Seeing this, Chi Ling had no choice but to put away the Xuanjin slingshot and instead took out the Heavenly King Golden Halberd, and went up to strike with it.

Murugan was not to be outdone. He threw a punch, and the Heavenly King's Golden Halberd trembled violently. However, Chi Ling was held very tightly and did not fly out of Murugan's hand as he had expected.

Despite this, Chi Ling was still very surprised. With her physical strength and the power of the Heavenly King Golden Halberd, she was actually neutralized by Murugan's punch.

"I didn't expect your fists to be so powerful," Akaya said in surprise.

Murugan laughed and said, "Grand Commandant, you flatter me. This is merely a blessing from the Primordial Shiva. The Primordial Shiva once blessed me, and I can repel any attack, whether tangible or intangible, with just a punch."

"So that's how it is." Chi Ling suddenly realized, then glanced at General Tianwu, who was healing his wounds in the distance.

The next moment, Chi Ling charged forward again, wielding the Heavenly King's Golden Halberd. Mulugan immediately threw a punch at Chi Ling. Fist and halberd clashed, and without a doubt, Chi Ling's attack was once again repelled by Mulugan's fist.

But at the same time, General Tianwu suddenly threw out the Tianwu Rope from behind. The Tianwu Rope flew over in an instant and bound Murugan's hands with a 'whoosh'.

Chi Ling laughed heartily and said, "Now let's see how you throw a punch."

After saying that, Chi Ling swung her halberd directly at Mulugan's head, but at that very moment, a fist suddenly flew out, and with a loud bang, Chi Ling's attack was repelled for the third time.

At the same time, another fist struck out, knocking the Heavenly Rope binding Murugan's hands to the ground.

"Hahaha." Murugan also laughed loudly, and looked at Chi Ling and said, "You don't necessarily have to use both hands to throw a punch; you can throw a punch in your mind too."

“Alright,” Chi Ling said, “Then let’s see how many punches you can throw.”

After saying that, Chi Ling put away the Heavenly King Golden Halberd and charged forward with her fist raised.

Every time the two threw a punch, Chi Ling would be knocked back two steps at the moment the fists collided, while Murugan would take a step back.

However, Chi Ling possessed an indestructible physical body, so even if she was repelled, she would not suffer any harm.

Therefore, every time Aka was repelled, she would launch an even stronger attack in a very short time. The two fought like this, punching each other from morning until noon, and then from noon into the afternoon.

The trees on the hilltop were mostly knocked down by the force of their punches, and Bi Huo, Bi Zhen, and Tian Wu dared not approach and could only watch from a distance.

Liu Yanchang was holding Liu Chenxiang in the middle of their battle, but the protective immortal light around Liu Chenxiang ensured that neither of them would be harmed.

Soon, Chi Ling and Mu Lugan fought from night until the next morning. By this time, Mu Lugan was panting heavily, listless, weak in the arms, and exhausted.

However, Chi Ling was radiant and full of energy, still jumping around.

"Come on, I can fight you for another half a month." Chi Ling's steps were swift and her punches were like the wind, leaving Murugan struggling to keep up.

This is a pure contest of physical strength; whoever has the strongest physical power will win.

Murugan was horrified, knowing that if things continued like this, he would be completely exhausted in half a day and would inevitably be captured.

Thinking of this, Mulugan suddenly roared and threw a powerful punch, sending Chi Ling flying back dozens of feet. Then he turned around, picked up Liu Yanchang, and used his magic to ride the clouds and run away.

Chi Ling was somewhat surprised but not astonished by Mu Lugan's sudden outburst, especially when she saw Mu Lugan running away with Liu Yanchang and his son. She immediately laughed out loud: "A cornered dog will jump over the wall."

Without Chi Ling giving any instructions, the three divine generals on the outer perimeter, Bi Zhen, Bi Huo, and Tian Wu, immediately gave chase.

Chi Ling lightly shook the dust off her clothes, then rode the clouds and quickly caught up.

Liu Yanchang, carried on Mulugan's shoulder, saw Chi Ling and the other three catching up and hurriedly shouted, "Immortal, they're catching up!"

Mulugan, panting heavily, said, "Don't be afraid, just hold Liu Chenxiang tight."

Liu Yanchang said, "There's no need for the immortal to instruct me on this matter." He had been holding Liu Chenxiang very tightly the whole time, and the little guy was perfectly fine, sleeping soundly and even snoring.

Wait, snoring? Liu Yanchang quickly glanced into his arms and found Liu Chenxiang's face contorted in a grimace, her mouth wide open. She looked like she was crying, but she couldn't make a sound, only whistling through her throat.

"Oh no!" Liu Yanchang quickly relaxed a little, and Liu Chenxiang's cries then resounded through the sky.

Murugan asked, "What happened?"

"..." Liu Yanchang remained silent for a long time before finally saying guiltily, "I held him too tightly and almost strangled the child."

Murugan: "Be careful."

At this moment, Bi Zhen, Bi Huo, and Tian Wu had caught up with them, and their Xuanhuo Spear, Ba Zhen Blade, and Tian Wu Rope attacked in turn.

This is where Liu Chenxiang's role came into play. Because of Shiva's blessing, he had a protective aura that blocked all the attacks from the three generals.

While wielding the Heavenly King Golden Halberd to relentlessly attack, Chi Ling also used the Xuanjin Slingshot to launch divine attacks, attempting to break through the protective immortal light.

But Shiva is a patriarch-level figure, and his blessing is something that the red silk cannot break, so no matter how many attacks are launched, it is all in vain.

But Murugan could no longer hold on, as his magical power had also been exhausted.

Just then, Murugan suddenly noticed a familiar mountain ahead. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly laughed and said, "There's always a way out. Liu Yanchang, hold your son tight."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanchang quickly and firmly embraced Liu Chenxiang.

Then Murugan plummeted down a mountain peak at an extremely fast speed, like a shooting star.

Seeing that Mulugan and the other two had suddenly disappeared, Chi Ling and the others stood on the clouds and searched around. After a while, General Tianwu flew up from below the clouds and said, "Grand Commandant, they have landed in the mountains below."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ling replied without hesitation, "Go after them."

The four immediately flew down through the clouds, while Mulugan had already led Liu Yanchang and his son to a mountain peak in the mountains below, and found the cave by following the familiar path.

Mulugan put down Liu Yanchang and his son, then stepped forward and knocked on the cave door: "Fellow Daoist Tianhu, I am Mulugan of the Brahma Sect. I have come to seek refuge in this place in distress. I ask for your help."

Liu Chenxiang hadn't had any milk all day and was crying from hunger. Liu Yanchang comforted Liu Chenxiang while looking up at the cave.

Above the cave dwelling, a plaque bore three large characters: "Heavenly Fox Cave." (End of Chapter)
