Journey to the West: A clone sacrifices to the heavens, possessing boundless magical power.

Chapter 135 The Purple-Gold Gourd

According to the original plan, after swallowing the relic, the mission of this clone would have been successfully completed.

He could have simply let Yun Zhongzi die completely at the hands of the Wind Patrol Envoy, severing all causal connections.

But Fan Yuan did not do that.

Keeping the Wind Patrol Envoy around is ultimately a hidden danger. Since the other party was able to track down Yun Zhongzi, it's hard to guarantee that they won't track down his true form through some secret method in the future.

If we're going to kill them, we must eliminate any future threats.

Just as Yun Zhongzi's clone used the Corpse Dissolution Technique to escape, two dark, demonic clouds were rushing towards the direction of Wave Moon Cave at an extremely fast speed.

Above the demonic clouds stood two strangely shaped monsters: one with a single horn on its head and darting, darting eyes, and the other with a pointed snout and monkey-like face, and hands that reached past its knees.

It was the exquisite ghost and clever insect of Lotus Cave in Pingdingshan.

At the feet of the exquisite ghost lay a crimson fox demon.

This fox demon was naturally Fan Yuan's demon avatar.

"Hey you fox demon, you look clever, but how come your escape skills are so pathetic? If we hadn't given you a ride, with your meager ability to ride the wind, you wouldn't have arrived even by next year!"

The meticulous ghost glanced at the fox at its feet, its tone full of disdain.

The clever insect chimed in, "That's right! We brothers are genuine powerful demons. Looking across this vast area, besides a few great kings, who dares to disrespect us?"

The fox clone immediately put on a fawning expression, nodding and bowing repeatedly.

"Your Majesties are right! This lowly demon is but a wild fox that has just awakened its intelligence. How can I compare to Your Majesties? Your Majesties possess extraordinary cultivation and astonishing escape techniques. For this lowly demon to receive your guidance today is truly a stroke of incredible luck!"

The two monsters were very pleased with this flattery.

Although the clever ghost and the nimble insect had impressive names, they were actually quite simple-minded. They were used to being ordered around by the two kings, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, in Lotus Cave, and had never heard such flattery before. They immediately became arrogant.

"You little devil know how to talk," the exquisite ghost said smugly, puffing out its chest.

The fox clone's gaze fell silently on a purplish-red gourd hanging from the waist of the exquisite ghost.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if this humble demon dares to ask, is this gourd that Your Majesty has bestowed upon you the legendary supreme treasure that can contain the heavens and the earth?" The fox clone stared at the gourd with feigned shock, his eyes filled with awe.

Upon hearing this, the meticulous ghost became even more excited and tore off the purple-gold gourd, holding it in his palm.

"You know your stuff! This is my king's most prized possession! It can hold the heavens and the earth, and even if a supreme immortal came, as long as I hold this treasure and call his name, if he dares to utter a single word, he would be sucked in and turn into pus and blood in no time!"

The clever insect chimed in, boasting, "That's right! This treasure is incredibly powerful. The King trusts us brothers implicitly, which is why he entrusted it to us for safekeeping!"

The fox clone gasped, its body trembling as it moved closer.

"Heavens! I have never seen such a divine object in my entire life! My two great kings, I have a request, but I don't know if I should speak it—"

"Speak!" the meticulous ghost waved his hand.

"This humble demon's cultivation is low, and I fear I will achieve little in this life. However, if I could personally touch such a supreme innate treasure and absorb even a trace of its immortal essence, I would die without regret! I wonder if the two great kings would be so kind as to allow this humble demon to play with it for a moment?"

The fox clone spoke with tears streaming down its face, its eyes filled with admiration for the powerful and a longing for magical treasures.

The meticulous ghost and the clever insect exchanged a glance.

If an ordinary demon had made this request, they would have slapped it to death long ago. However, the fox demon's flattery along the way had made them extremely comfortable. In addition, the other party was just a low-level demon, and could not cause any trouble in front of the two great demons.

"Alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I'll let you touch me."

The meticulous ghost casually tossed the purple-gold gourd into the fox clone's arms, saying, "Handle it carefully, don't break it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The fox clone held the gourd in both hands, trembling with excitement.

The moment he touched the gourd, a glint of light flashed in Fan Yuan's eyes, who was far away in Baoxiang Kingdom.

"What a wonderful tool!"

It does not require the caster to have a high level of cultivation. It relies on the most unreasonable cause and effect in the world. As long as the real name is called out and a response is received, the cause and effect line will lock and forcibly capture it.

This is practically a tomb made for the Wind Chaser.

Fan Yuan secretly connected with the [Primordial Myriad Appearances Mirror], and with a thought, the fox clone immediately understood, leading the two demons to fly away on the clouds, heading straight for the direction where Yun Zhongzi was.

After traveling for a short while, the fox clone slightly raised the hand holding the gourd and looked down at the desolate Gobi Desert.

"Your Majesties, look! There seems to be an extremely strong fluctuation of energy below, it looks like a human cultivator!"

Upon hearing this, the Fine-Hearted Ghost and the Clever Insect immediately stopped their escape and looked down.

Beside the deep pit below, a gray-robed Taoist priest covered in blood sat cross-legged. He was none other than Yun Zhongzi, the clone who had been teleported there by the Corpse Dissolution Technique!

He devoured the Yellow Robe Monster's relic, the exquisite inner core, and at this moment, his blood and qi surged like a tide, and the power of the stars stirred throughout his body.

"He really is a human cultivator! Judging from his injuries, he seems to be dying." The clever insect licked its lips, its eyes revealing a fierce glint.

"Your Majesty, this is practically food delivered to your mouths! This cultivator is full of vital energy; if you devour him, it will greatly benefit your cultivation!" The fox clone fanned the flames from the side.

The cunning ghost laughed loudly, "Good luck! Let's go, go down and catch him for our drinks!"

The two great demons immediately descended from the clouds, bringing their fox clones with them, and landed towards Yun Zhongzi.

Just the instant they landed.

At the edge of the sky, an extremely violent and murderous aura swept in like a storm.

"You thief! You think you can fool me with a fake corpse?!"

With a furious shout, a blinding cyan blade of light tore through the sky, and the figure of the Wind Patrol Envoy suddenly appeared.

The clever ghost and the nimble insect were startled by the sudden pressure, but they were, after all, monsters from the Lotus Cave, used to running rampant and domineering, and they couldn't stand others shouting at them.

"Where did this wild monk come from? How dare he steal our brothers' prey?"

The meticulous ghost stepped forward, pointed at the Wind Patrolman in mid-air, and cursed, "If you know what's good for you, get lost! We set our sights on this cripple first!"

The Wind Patrolman paused, his cold gaze sweeping over the Fine Ghost and the Clever Insect.

"Two ants dare to obstruct my work? Die!"

The Wind Patrol Envoy didn't bother with any words and unleashed a cyan wind blade, dozens of feet long, directly at the two demons.

"This is outrageous!"

Enraged, the clever insect immediately brandished a spiked club and charged forward.

"boom!"

The wind blade flashed by.

The exquisite ghost and the clever insect didn't even have time to scream before they were annihilated, leaving no trace.

The fox clone, who had been hiding behind them, had already uncorked the purple-gold gourd and, seizing the opportunity, shouted into the air, "Is Silver Wind here?"

When the Wind Inspector heard someone call his name, he subconsciously responded and was instantly sucked into the gourd by a suction force.

The fox clone quickly sealed the stopper, affixed the talisman inscribed with "May the Supreme Lord Laozi's command be swift," and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Using a treasure to kill, a single, decisive blow.

Just wait a short while, and the patrol officer will completely eliminate this hidden danger!

Below, Yun Zhongzi could no longer suppress the violent power. His whole body trembled violently, and blinding starlight suddenly shot out from his seven orifices. The sound of his meridians breaking could be clearly heard.

In the blink of an eye, the blood-soaked body was torn to pieces by the starlight from the inside out. With a deafening roar, it turned into a sky full of blood mist and scattered stardust, leaving only a shimmering rain of light gradually dissipating above the deep pit.
