On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

Within the cave dwellings of Cuiyun Mountain.

Su Bai stood up, his eyes filled with determination.

"Madam, let's go to the Flaming Mountains," Su Bai said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" The woman with the iron fan was taken aback. "Husband, what are you going to do?"

"Suppress the Flaming Mountain," Su Bai said calmly, "Extinguish the fire there completely."

"What?!" the Iron Fan Girl exclaimed in shock. "But...but Father said..."

"I don't care what your father says," Su Bai interrupted her. "The fire from Flaming Mountain has rendered an area of ​​eight hundred miles barren, causing immense suffering to the people."

"Since we have the capability to contain it, why don't we do it?"

"For merit? For cultivation?" Su Bai sneered. "Are the lives of those common people really that worthless?"

The Iron Fan Woman was rendered speechless by Su Bai's words.

She bit her lip, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

On one side was her father's order, and on the other was her husband's insistence.

Whom should she listen to?

"Husband..." the Iron Fan Woman whispered, "But... Father will be angry..."

"So what if he's angry?" Su Bai said nonchalantly. "If he's unhappy, let him come find me."

"I'd like to see what logic he has to offer."

The Iron Fan Woman felt a tremor in her heart when she saw Su Bai's determined gaze.

She suddenly realized that her husband was different from the gods in heaven.

Those gods, high above, regard ordinary people as ants.

But her husband truly cared about the people.

"My lord..." The woman with the iron fan's eyes reddened slightly, "I understand."

"It's good that you understand." Su Bai took her hand. "Let's go, we'll go to the Flaming Mountain."

"Yes!" The Iron Fan Woman nodded emphatically.

At that moment, she decided to obey her husband.

Even if her father would be angry, even if she would offend the Heavenly Court, she would accept it.

Because her husband was right.

The lives of ordinary people matter too.

In the Jade Pool, the immortals witnessed this scene and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"That evil dragon is going to pacify the Flaming Mountain?" Venus was shocked.

"He's going against Laozi!" the Giant Spirit God exclaimed.

In the scene, Su Bai and Iron Fan Girl arrive at the Flaming Mountain.

From a distance, the entire mountain was covered in raging flames, with the fire raging and heat waves rolling in.

For hundreds of miles around, not a blade of grass grows; it is a desolate wasteland.

"What a terrifying fire..." the Iron Fan Woman murmured.

"These flames are all formed from the furnace bricks of the Eight Trigrams Furnace from back then," Su Bai said in a deep voice. "They are Samadhi True Fire."

"Ordinary water simply can't extinguish it."

"Therefore, I need your help." Su Bai looked at the Iron Fan Woman, "First, use the Banana Leaf Fan to extinguish the Samadhi True Fire, and then I will send down the rain."

"I understand." The Iron Fan Woman nodded and took out her banana leaf fan.

"My lord, I will do it now."

"Okay." Su Bai nodded. "I'll help you from the side."

The Iron Fan Woman took a deep breath and activated her banana leaf fan.

"Banana leaf fan, rise!"

A powerful gust of wind erupted from the banana leaf fan and swept towards the Flaming Mountain.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The wind howled, and the flames flickered in the wind.

But this time, the Iron Fan Woman did not stop.

She continued to fan the banana leaf fan, once, twice, three times...

Each one was more ferocious than the last.

The fire began to subside, and the Samadhi True Fire gradually died out under the power of the Banana Leaf Fan.

"Alright!" Seeing this, Su Bai also began to make his move.

He formed a hand seal, summoning the moisture between heaven and earth.

"Summon clouds and rain!"

Dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.

Immediately afterwards, a torrential downpour began.

"Splash—"

The rain poured down on the Flaming Mountain, making a hissing sound.

The flames were extinguished by the rain, and smoke filled the air.

The couple worked together; one used a banana leaf fan to extinguish the Samadhi True Fire, while the other rained down to extinguish the remaining flames.

In less than half an hour, the fire on Flaming Mountain was completely suppressed.

Another hour passed, and the fire on Flaming Mountain was completely extinguished!

"We succeeded!" the Iron Fan Woman exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmm." Su Bai nodded, looking at the Flaming Mountain that was no longer flaming, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Boom—"

A sudden roar came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, merit descended from the heavens, and a golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Su Bai and Iron Fan Woman.

The underworld, the palace of Yama.

As Laozi looked at the scene on the light screen, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it!" Laozi gritted his teeth, "That wicked dragon actually pacified the Flaming Mountain!"

"This...this..."

Laozi was so angry he couldn't speak.

The fire of Flaming Mountain was originally formed from the bricks of his Eight Trigrams Furnace.

His original plan was to let the Iron Fan Woman accumulate merit slowly.

But now, the fire at Flaming Mountain has been completely extinguished!

His plans all fell through!

"Strange..." he murmured, "So strange..."

"The Flaming Mountains are a major obstacle on the journey to the West."

"The evil dragon pacified the Flaming Mountain, which is tantamount to creating obstacles for the West."

"How could the West allow its own people to trip them up?"

Lao Tzu shook his head repeatedly.

Western sacred mountain, Great Thunder Temple.

As the light screen dissipated, Tathagata's expression turned extremely ugly.

"The Flaming Mountain... has been pacified..." Buddha murmured.

"Buddha..." Guanyin Bodhisattva said worriedly, "This is troublesome."

"Originally, on their journey to the West, the pilgrims were supposed to encounter a trial at the Flaming Mountains."

"We need to borrow the banana leaf fan from the Iron Fan Woman to get through."

"This was arranged by the West."

"Moreover, Laozi's side can also get a share of the profits."

"But now..." Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled bitterly, "The Flaming Mountain is gone, and so is this ordeal."

"How can we ever make up for this immense merit?"

The Buddha remained silent, a shadow passing over his eyes.

"Buddha..." Maitreya Buddha suddenly said, "This disciple has an idea."

"Speak," Buddha said, looking at him.

"Although the Flaming Mountain is gone, but..." A glint of light flashed in Maitreya Buddha's eyes, "we've seen Red Boy."

"His potential is simply too great."

"If we could bring him into the West..."

"Indeed!" said Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. "Red Boy's combat power far exceeds our initial expectations."

"If it can be used for the benefit of the West, then some of the lost merit can be made up for."

"But the problem is..." Manjushri Bodhisattva frowned, "If we want Red Boy to return to the West, we must let that evil dragon be reincarnated and follow the path predicted."

"But if that wicked dragon were to be reincarnated..."

The Buddhas fell silent.

They were conflicted.

On one hand, there is Red Boy's immense potential; on the other hand, there is the trouble that Su Bai might bring.

How should I choose?

After a long period of contemplation, the Buddha finally spoke: "Give up."

"What?" The Buddhas were taken aback.

"Give up on letting that wicked dragon reincarnate," Buddha said in a deep voice. "If he were to reincarnate, he would greatly increase the Heavenly Court's fighting strength."

"For the West, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

"As for Red Boy..." A hint of regret flashed in Buddha's eyes, "It's a pity, but we have no choice but to give up on him."

"But Buddha..." Guanyin Bodhisattva was unwilling.

"No buts." Buddha waved his hand. "The journey to the West is of paramount importance."

"We must not let small gains lead to big losses."

Upon hearing this, the Buddhas, though unwilling, had no choice but to accept it.
