Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 296 The Three Demons of Lion Camel Ridge, Settling Karma

At Mount Ling, Buddha was invited by the Jade Emperor to the Heavenly Palace for tea. He was planning to send a group of Arhats and Buddhas there, leaving Guanyin Bodhisattva at the Great Thunder Temple.

At this moment, the Buddha was looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva and giving instructions:

"Now that the Golden-Winged Roc's fate is sealed, there's no need for us at Mount Ling to interfere. But we should still inform Manjushri and Samantabhadra about the Green-Haired Lion and the Yellow-Toothed Elephant, and if they can be saved, then let's do our best to save them."

The Bodhisattva nodded and said:
"Yes, disciple understands, please rest assured, Buddha."

"Ah."

The Buddha nodded and led his entourage on auspicious clouds to the Heavenly Palace.

After a moment's thought, Guanyin Bodhisattva used her supernatural powers to send a message to Manjushri and Samantabhadra, who were still in their respective temples, informing them of the matter and explaining the cause and effect of the Golden-Winged Roc from that year.

"Gentlemen, Immortal Guangyi has now gone to find Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, wanting to settle the karma from back then. This matter may affect the green-haired lion and the yellow-toothed old elephant."

"If you two wish to take those two back, please make preparations as soon as possible."

As Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, two sighs appeared in Guanyin Bodhisattva's ears one after the other.

"There are variables."

Several days later, in the clouds above, Venus looked down at Sun Wukong and his two companions, who were fighting fiercely with the three old demons of the Lion Camel Kingdom, and his face showed a slight anxiety.

"Where is Guangyi yet?"

At this time, Tang Sanzang had already been captured by the three old demons. Not long after, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were also defeated and captured in the cave.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Wukong was about to use his somersault cloud to leave first when suddenly a sea of ​​fire descended from the sky and burned towards the Lion Camel Kingdom, actually forcing the three old demons to retreat.

"what!!!!"

The Golden-Winged Roc stood still, looking at the sea of ​​fire billowing with thick smoke, and the group of lesser demons who had only managed a scream before turning to ashes. His expression changed, and he shouted:

"Samadhi True Fire?! Who is it?!"

Sun Wukong was even more surprised to see this scene. He quickly looked up at the sky with his golden cudgel and saw a figure in green robes holding a whisk standing on the clouds, slowly lowering the mudra he had formed in his hand.

"Senior brother?!"

"It's you!!"

Two voices came from the Lion Camel Kingdom almost simultaneously: one was Sun Wukong's somewhat surprised voice, and the other was the Golden-Winged Roc's angry voice.

When Venus saw Niu Yi step forward, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard Niu Yi's voice ring in his ears.

"I apologize, Star Lord, for we are a little late today. We need to lay a net around the Lion Camel Kingdom to prevent the Golden-Winged Roc from escaping."

These nets were borrowed by Niu Yi from Nezha's brothers, precisely to prevent the Golden-Winged Roc from escaping.

Upon hearing this, Venus nodded and transmitted his voice:

“This Golden-Winged Roc is quite skilled. Be careful. If all else fails, you can put it into your gourd. I will go with you to the Tushita Palace to see the Supreme Dao Ancestor.”

Niu Yi, standing on the cloud, merely smiled without replying, but in the eyes of the Golden-Winged Roc, that smile was a provocation.

His gaze darkened as he said:

"Well, I was wondering why so many strange things have happened over the past few hundred years. Now it seems that it was all because of you, Taoist priest, who was behind it all!"

He naturally remembered the Taoist priest in front of him. Back then on that Golden Toad Mountain, he had suffered a great loss and was ravaged by that lion!
He had clearly seen the nine-headed lion back then; it was invited by the Taoist priest in front of him!

This guy, instead of going after me, he dared to plot against me!

"Brother!"

Niu Yi ignored the enraged, bristling Golden-Winged Roc below, instead turning to Sun Wukong, who had somersaulted to his side, and laughed:

"Junior brother, rest assured. I also have some grudges against this Golden-Winged Roc. I have come here today to help you subdue this demon."

Sun Wukong looked delighted, scratched the back of his hand, and laughed, "Good, good, thank you, senior brother! Thank you, senior brother!"

On the ground, watching the two conversing so oblivious to everyone else, the blue-maned lion snorted coldly and shouted at the top of its lungs:
"Subdue us?! You wild Taoist priest who came from who-knows-where, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue while spouting such nonsense!"

"If you're so capable, come down and take my knife!"

"Brother, why waste words with him? Watch me take his head!"

As the Golden-Winged Roc spoke, it flapped its wings and appeared in front of Niu Yi, its halberd slashing down at Niu Yi with unparalleled power!

With a flick of his whisk, Niu Yi caught the halberd. The Golden-Winged Roc tried to use its palm to break free from the white whisk's restraint, but despite its efforts, it could not move it. The two remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

"Ok?"

The three old demons' expressions changed upon seeing this scene; clearly, the Taoist's abilities were somewhat beyond their expectations.

Niu Yi's hand holding the whisk was as steady as a rock. He looked at Sun Wukong beside him and smiled:
"Junior brother, you can choose one of the two below as your opponent."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong blinked, but then swung his golden cudgel at the Golden-Winged Roc that had stopped in its tracks.

The Golden-Winged Roc let out a cold snort, and golden light burst forth from its wings, transforming into a beam of golden light that instantly freed it from the whisk's restraints and dodged Sun Wukong's golden cudgel.

"Third brother, your elder brothers are here to help you!"

Seeing this, the green-haired lion and the yellow-toothed elephant were not about to let their third brother suffer a loss. They flashed and rode on the black clouds to attack Niu Yi and Sun Wukong in the sky.

Just then, a flash of white light appeared, and the three-pointed double-edged spear, accompanied by the sound of air being cut, smashed straight towards the yellow-tusked old elephant!

The old elephant with yellow tusks changed his expression and quickly turned around to parry with his weapon.

"clang!!!"

The old elephant with yellow tusks was shaken back by the blow before it regained its footing. When it looked at the figure that had appeared not far away, its expression changed drastically.

"A three-pointed double-edged spear! Yang Jian!!"

"Humph!"

Yang Jian, high in the clouds, grabbed the flying three-pointed double-edged spear in his hand, looked down at the yellow-tusked old elephant, and charged forward again with the spear in hand!
"Oh? Brother Yang Jian?"

When Sun Wukong saw this person arrive, he was so excited that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and said to Niu Yi beside him:
"Senior brother, I'll go help him!"

Niu Yi nodded with a smile, his gaze turning to the gloomy-faced Golden-Winged Roc opposite him.

"You've really gone to great lengths to deal with me!"

Looking at Niu Yi opposite him, the Golden-Winged Roc knew inexplicably that the other party was the one who had been plotting against him in the dark, and also his mortal enemy!

Niu Yi looked at the Golden-Winged Roc opposite him and laughed:
"I have indeed been preparing for this day for a long time, otherwise how could I repay your 'kindness' on Golden Toad Mountain back then?"

In the Lion Camel Kingdom, shouts of battle rang out again. The Six Saints of Meishan and the three thousand Grassroots Gods had stormed into the city, plunging the Lion Camel Kingdom into chaos!
With a wave of his hand, Niu Yi summoned the miniature Sun and Moon Steel Halberd, which grew longer as it faced the wind.

"Further words are useless; let's settle this with our actions."

As Niu Yi spoke, the whisk in his hand quickly transformed into silver light and fell into Niu Yi's waist. Holding the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd, he slashed at the Golden-Winged Roc!

The Golden-Winged Roc snorted coldly, showing no weakness, and wielded the halberd to strike at Niu Yi!
"clang!!!"

The two fought fiercely, neither giving an inch. In terms of speed, the Golden-Winged Roc was clearly faster, while in terms of strength, Niu Yi was superior.

The two figures flashed like golden lights in the clouds, fighting each other for more than ten rounds without a clear winner.

Just as the Golden-Winged Roc reappeared and clashed with the halberd in Niu Yi's hand, the two-pole magnetic hairpin that adorned Niu Yi's long black hair suddenly unleashed a burst of magnetic power, briefly binding the Golden-Winged Roc!

"Ok?"

The Golden-Winged Roc's expression changed as he suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of threat. Just as he was about to flap his wings, the green gourd at Niu Yi's waist suddenly burst out with an irresistible suction force, instantly pulling the Golden-Winged Roc inside!
