I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Saraswati was one of the first Brahma people to come into contact with the Heavenly Court, and she was also quite familiar with the Fire Spirit Immortal and the others.

Therefore, it was fitting that she was chosen to collect Parvati's body.

“My Lord, I will take Fellow Daoist Parvati’s body back first,” Saraswati said.

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Alright."

Watching Saraswati leave, Fire Spirit Immortal summoned Tiger Vanguard and said, "Give everyone present a credit."

Tiger Vanguard bowed and accepted the order. Upon hearing this, the Six Saints of Meishan and the generals of Zhechong Prefecture also bowed and thanked True Immortal Huoling.

"But Lord Prefect, we don't seem to see any trace of Liu Chenxiang and his son here," Kang Anyu said.

Fire Spirit Immortal glanced at the destroyed Red Lotus Dojo, then suddenly tiptoed and flew up to a pile of ruins.

Fire Spirit True Immortal landed on the ruins and said to those below, "Fellow Daoist Tidoro, how long are you going to hide?"

As soon as the Fire Spirit Immortal finished speaking, the ruins suddenly exploded, and then a beam of immortal light flew out.

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from the Lord.” Tidoro stood there, dressed neatly and unharmed, and smiled as he cupped his hands towards the Fire Spirit Immortal.

When Tidoro appeared, everyone nearby was taken aback, and even the resting dog, Xiaotian, jumped up.

A deep sense of confusion appeared in the eyes of the Celestial Hound. It remembered that it had bitten this person to death and even eaten his heart.

This brings us to the 'Purifying Red Lotus' in Tidoro's hand. It was this treasure's divine power that allowed him to feign death and escape; otherwise, he would have truly been dragged down with Parvati to be buried alive with her.

But one certainly couldn't say that on the surface. As the Celestial Hound stood up, Tidor immediately showed a look of horror and retreated repeatedly, saying, "This divine dog is incredibly powerful. If it weren't for my ability to revive my body, I'm afraid I would have already perished in its mouth."

When Huo Ling Zhenxian saw him pretending to be very afraid of Xiaotian Dog, he knew that he was not lying to him, but to the people in the Great Brahma Realm.

After all, everyone saw that he had been torn apart by the Celestial Hound, so it wasn't intentional that he didn't help Parvati.

Fire Spirit Immortal did not expose him, but simply smiled and said, "That is the divine dog under the command of Erlang Manifestation True Lord of Heaven, the Howling Heaven Divine Lord."

"So it's the Celestial Hound!" Tidoro was taken aback and quickly bowed from afar, saying, "My apologies, my apologies, greetings to the Celestial Lord."

Seeing that he was so understanding, the celestial dog sat back down.

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Immortal suddenly asked Tidor, "Tidor, do you know your crime?"

Tidoro quickly cupped his hands and said, "This humble immortal knows his sins."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Why didn't you report Liu Chenxiang and his son when they were with you? Instead, you harbored them."

Tidor repeatedly apologized and said he was willing to accept any punishment.

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Considering that you still have a repentant heart, I will punish you by making you do good deeds here. You must do 30,000 good deeds within ten years, otherwise you will be severely punished."

Upon hearing this, Tidoro immediately bowed and clasped his hands in prayer, saying, "Tidoro accepts the punishment."

Then, the Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Where did Liu Chenxiang and his son go? Do you know?"

Tidoro then told Fire Spirit Immortal about Parvati's battle with Chiling and how Liu Chenxiang and his son were lost by Howling Celestial Dog on their way back.

After hearing this, the Fire Spirit Immortal understood the situation and said to Tidoro, "Alright, then you shall be punished here. I will send someone to examine your merits in ten years."

Tidoro bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, with Tidoro's respectful farewell, True Immortal Fire Spirit led everyone away from the Crimson Lotus Dojo.

Tidoro turned around and looked at the ruins of the dojo, but instead of being sad or grieving, he looked relaxed.

He managed to escape this ordeal, and hopefully this kind of trouble won't come knocking again.

However, witnessing Parvati's slaying made him extremely grateful that he had made the right judgment and had not confronted the Dust Jade Palace. Otherwise, even if he could have stopped the Fire Spirit Lord, she still had the Divine Firmament Emperor behind her.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Red Lotus Dojo, True Immortal Fire Spirit dispersed everyone to search for the whereabouts of Liu Chenxiang and his son.

And the celestial dog led the way, after all, it was the one who chased Parvati's Dharma form all night and bit her, so it should know the route very well.

As for the Fire Spirit Immortal, she led Liu Yan and Tiger Vanguard back to the temporary encampment. But as soon as she returned, she saw that her camp was surrounded by ghost soldiers in full armor.

"Lord," Tiger Vanguard said, "they seem to be ghost soldiers."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded slightly, then led Liu Yan and Tiger Vanguard into the camp. Upon seeing Fire Spirit Immortal, the ghost soldiers bowed and said, "Welcome back to the camp, Lord."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, then asked, "Which military unit do you belong to?"

At this moment, a ghost king stepped forward quickly, bowed to the Fire Spirit Immortal, and said, "This humble god is Luo Mi, the ghost king of the Western Ghost Palace. I am here to welcome Lord Fire Spirit by order of His Majesty the Western Ghost Emperor."

As soon as Luo Mi finished speaking, the large tent in the center was opened by two ghost generals, and then the Western Ghost Emperor, dressed in a black Taoist robe, strode forward.

Upon seeing this, Huo Ling Zhenxian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Huo Ling greets His Majesty the Ghost Emperor."

The Western Ghost Emperor stepped forward to help the Fire Spirit Immortal up, then looked at her and smiled, "I have come to see the Grand Master of Fate because I have an important matter that I need your help with."

"Oh?" Fire Spirit Immortal was quite surprised upon hearing this and asked, "What does Your Majesty need Fire Spirit's help with?"

At this point, True Immortal Huo Ling pointed to the large tent in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, it is windy here. Please speak inside the tent."

“Alright.” The Western Ghost Emperor nodded and smiled.

Then, the crowd escorted the Western Ghost Emperor into the main tent, inviting him to sit at the head of the table, with the Fire Spirit True Immortal in the next seat, and the rest of the people seated according to their rank. After everyone was seated, the Western Ghost Emperor took out a talisman from his sleeve and said, "Please read this talisman first, Lord Fire Spirit."

Fire Spirit Immortal immediately stood up, took the talisman from the Western Ghost Emperor, unfolded it, and then handed it back. "Is this the Soul-Binding Edict of the Great Emperor of Fengdu?"

“Indeed,” said the Western Ghost Emperor. “The Great Emperor of Fengdu ordered me to go to the Great Brahma Realm to capture Parvati’s soul and bring it to the Underworld for reincarnation.”

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Among all living beings in heaven and earth, except for those who have transcended reincarnation, no one can escape the cycle of reincarnation on their own. This is the truth."

The Western Ghost Emperor said, "That's right, but I have never been to the Great Brahma Realm, nor have I had much contact with the Brahma religion. I'm afraid that Parvati's soul will be difficult to capture."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Is Your Majesty's arrival here solely because of this matter?"

The Western Ghost Emperor said, "Indeed, I wish to invite Lord Fire Spirit to accompany me."

"..." Fire Spirit Immortal sat up straight, then said apologetically, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I cannot grant your request."

"Oh?" the Western Ghost Emperor asked, "Why is that?"

Fire Spirit Immortal said, “Your Majesty, consider this: the son of Shiva, one of the three great progenitors of the Brahma religion, was stripped of his immortal status by me, and his wife was executed by me. It would be better if Your Majesty didn’t take me with you; if you do, I’m afraid things will not end well.”

The Western Ghost Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "Lord, you are the Grand Master of Fate of the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm. Surely they wouldn't refuse to give you any face?"

Fire Spirit Immortal shook his head and laughed, "Others may not dare, but those three Primordial Ancestors do. Those three Primordial Ancestors are all Great Awakened Golden Immortals, who have transcended the Three Realms and are not bound by the Five Elements. They have severed their past, present, and future bodies, and their primordial spirits are eternal, making them immortal and indestructible sect leaders. This time, I was able to remove Murugan's immortal status and behead Parvati not because they gave me, the Grand Master of Fate, face, but because they were intimidated by the majesty of my Divine Firmament Emperor."

At this point, True Immortal Huo Ling calmly said, "If it weren't for Emperor Shenxiao, I would have died and perished the moment I was removed from Mulugan's immortal register."

The Western Ghost Emperor sighed and said, "The Divine Firmament Emperor is indeed boundless in his Taoist magic, but I shouldn't bother him with such a trivial matter."

After pondering for a moment, Huo Ling Zhenxian said, "Your Majesty may take the edict from the Fengdu Emperor and go directly to arrest Parvati's soul. If things don't go well, do not clash with them, but retreat and make other plans."

The Western Ghost Emperor nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Then the Western Ghost Emperor stood up and said to the Fire Spirit Immortal, "In that case, I will go to the Great Brahma Realm first."

Fire Spirit Immortal hurriedly got up to see him off, and after seeing the Western Ghost Emperor off from the mountain with the others, he returned and went directly to the small tent to visit Chi Ling.

Two days later, Huo Ling Zhenxian suddenly received a report from Ju Ling Shen, saying that they had found the whereabouts of Liu Yanchang and his son, who were hiding in a small mountain village.

So the Fire Spirit Immortal hurried to that small mountain village, only to find something amiss upon arrival.

Fire Spirit Immortal sensed a familiar aura here, and she was puzzled as to why that person would come to Xiniu Hezhou to interfere in the affairs of the Third Holy Mother's family.

"Lord, the people who rescued Liu Chenxiang and his son this time are a bit troublesome." Zhang Boshi, the second of the Six Saints of Meishan, walked over and said to Huo Ling Zhenxian, while Xiaotianquan echoed from the side.

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "What do you mean?"

Yao Gonglin said, "Just now, we followed Xiaotian Dog into that courtyard and only saw an old woman and a young Taoist priest. The Taoist priest only glanced at us before we were taken to the village entrance."

The Giant Spirit God also said, "That person's cultivation is extremely powerful; we are powerless to resist him."

Tianwu, Bizhen, Bihuo, and the other gods all nodded in agreement, expressing that the person's strength was terrifying.

After hearing everyone's account, Fire Spirit Immortal had already made up his mind, so he said, "You lead the way, I'll go and see for myself."

The crowd bowed and accepted the order, then led the Fire Spirit Immortal into the small village, arriving at the courtyard.

Jiang Han stepped forward, pushed open the fence, and called out, "The Grand Master of the Mortal Realm has arrived."

Fire Spirit Immortal waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so high-profile."

Jiang Han smiled and said, "I called out beforehand just in case the people inside don't know what's good for them and dare to offend the Lord without permission."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled faintly and stepped into the courtyard.

At this moment, a young Taoist priest walked out of the farmhouse. Upon seeing the Fire Spirit Immortal, the Taoist priest chuckled and leaped right in front of the Fire Spirit Immortal.

Giant Spirit God, Bi Zhen, Bi Huo, Tian Wu, and Jiang Han rushed forward to block the Fire Spirit Immortal, but the Taoist only blew a breath, and the group fell to the ground, staggering all over.

Then the young Taoist priest came to the Fire Spirit Immortal and said with a smile, "Big Sister Fire Spirit, you've come in person."

Fire Spirit Immortal laughed and said, "I am not worthy to be your Victorious Fighting Buddha's elder sister, it would shorten my lifespan."

"hiss"

Upon hearing the words of the Fire Spirit Immortal, everyone, from the Giant Spirit God and his companions on the ground to the Six Saints of Meishan and the divine generals behind them, couldn't help but gasp in shock.

A moment later, Yao Gonglin suddenly realized, "I knew this Taoist priest was acting like a monkey. Oh dear."

Before he could finish speaking, a festering sore appeared on Yao Gonglin's lip. Upon seeing this, the Taoist laughed loudly and said, "I didn't mind your teasing and joking with me before. But now you dare to mock me to my face. You really don't know what retribution is!"

Yao Gonglin's face turned deathly pale with pain. He covered his mouth and kept saying, "I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, Grandfather Victorious Fighting Buddha."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "It's too late for you to admit your mistake now. That sore is retribution. Just bear with it for a few days and let it disappear on its own."

After saying that, Sun Wukong said to Huo Ling Zhenxian, "Sister Huo Ling, please come inside to talk."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, then turned to the crowd and said, "You all wait here."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately cupped their hands and replied, "Yes, Lord Prefect." (End of Chapter)
