Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?

half an hour.

world.

Li Jing, accompanied by the Twenty-Seven Constellations, descended upon Baoxiang Kingdom and, guided by the mountain gods and local deities, arrived above Wanzi Mountain.

Looking down, one sees lush vegetation covering the entire mountain peak, with only a faint golden light shining through a certain spot halfway up the mountain.

"Come with me."

Li Jing took the lead, calling out to the other twenty-seven constellations as they headed straight for the golden light.

Just as they were about to fall into the forest, a cold glint appeared first, followed by a spear thrusting out like a dragon, piercing through Li Jing's chest with a soft thud.

"Heavenly King!"

The Twenty-Seven Constellations were greatly alarmed and hurriedly formed a protective formation.

But at this moment, a figure with a veiled head leaped out of the forest, raised his hand, and the spear that had pierced Li Jing's chest was suddenly pulled out automatically, bringing with it a stream of immortal blood, and shattered the barrier of the Twenty-Seven Constellations Formation from the inside.

"Snapped!"

With the momentum of a dragon leaping and a tiger bounding, the masked man gripped his spear tightly and charged towards Li Jing, clearly intending to annihilate him completely.

The Twenty-Seven Constellations had no choice but to pick up their weapons and desperately block Li Jing's path.

Li Jing could no longer care about anything else at this moment. He endured the excruciating pain of the tower being pierced through his chest and used magic to take it back.

The pagoda, which overlapped with the stone pagoda of Boyue Cave, soared into the sky, instantly startling the three holy beings inside, who all looked up at it.

When their gaze pierced through the top of the stone tower and they saw the fierce battle in the air, all three were astonished.

midair.

The masked man glanced down at the rapidly approaching pagoda and became extremely anxious. He disregarded everything else and used magic to summon a golden brick, which materialized out of thin air and slammed heavily onto Li Jing's head.

Li Jing was already seriously injured, and this blow to his head caused him to lose consciousness uncontrollably, even though his head didn't explode. He then plummeted from the sky into the forest.

"Kui Mulang, come to my rescue!"

The Biyuewu, one of the seven constellations of the White Tiger in the west, cried out in a hoarse voice.

Inside the stone tower, Kui Mulang's expression was uncertain, but he eventually flew out of the tower gate and rushed into the void, catching Li Tianwang in his arms.

The masked man also became ruthless, using gold bricks to knock down the two star lords one after another, and then thrusting his spear at Li Jing and Kui Mulang.

"go!"

The Dragon Girl threw out a willow branch, which transformed into countless green, divine chains of willow twigs that whistled past Li Jing and Kui Mulang, wrapping around the body of the Killing Star.

For her, Li Jing was, after all, her senior brother's biological father, so how could she stand idly by?

The masked man's pupils contracted, and he sighed inwardly. He then put away the gold brick, transformed into a streak of light, and swiftly disappeared into the clouds.

He knew the power of the willow branch. If he didn't leave now, the Twenty-Eight Constellations would recover and, together with the willow branch, could truly trap him!

at the same time.

Seeing that he had escaped, the Twenty-Seven Constellations breathed a sigh of relief. No one chased after him. Instead, they all rushed to Kui Mulang's side to examine Li Jing's injuries.

Kui Mulang carried the still-bleeding Li Jing to the stone pagoda and said urgently, "Good Fortune Dragon Girl, quickly save the Heavenly King."

The Dragon Girl, accompanied by Zhifeng, slowly emerged from the tower. With a wave of her hand, she summoned back the willow branch, held it in her hand, and showered it with divine light upon Li Jing's injuries, quickly healing them.

"I can only treat external injuries, not internal ones. He needs to rest and recuperate slowly."

"How long will it take to recover?" Bi Yuewu asked subconsciously.

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Girl said, "Given the concentration of spiritual energy in the Ninth Heaven, it will take at least two or three years."

The stars: "..."

If you count it in years in the sky, that's a really long time.

"Kui Mulang, come with us to heaven and meet the Great Heavenly Venerable," Kang Jinlong said in a deep voice.

Kui Mulang had no objection, nodded slightly, and said to Long Nu and Zhi Feng with a complicated expression, "It's finally over, you two. Farewell."

Both the Dragon Girl and Zhifeng were bewildered.

They never expected that after Mu Zha left, before they could even do anything, they would lose completely.

Soon, the Twenty-Eight Constellations retrieved Li Jing's exquisite pagoda, together wove a celestial cloud bed, and carried the still unconscious Heavenly King Li straight to the Ninth Heaven, stepping into the Lingxiao Palace.

From his high seat on the Sendai platform, looking down at Li Jing on his cloud bed, the Jade Emperor asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"

Kang Jinlong reported, "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerable, we had just arrived at Wanzishan when Li Tianwang was ambushed and nearly lost his life."

"Who did this?" The Jade Emperor glanced at Kui Mulang.

Kui Mulang shuddered and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, it was not this humble immortal who did it. It was a masked assassin wielding a long spear."

Jade Emperor: "..."

A long spear may not prove anything, but it always evokes associations.

"Kui Mulang, I am aware of your entire situation. Although every sip and every bite is preordained, your transgression of causing chaos as a demon cannot go unpunished."

"It just so happens that Laozi's golden and silver attendants have disappeared, and the Tushita Palace is short of a celestial attendant to tend the fire. So, I'll punish you by sending you to tend the fire for Laozi." Suppressing a strange smile, the Jade Emperor said calmly.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty." Kui Mulang kowtowed deeply.

"You should thank Sun Wukong."

The Jade Emperor's voice suddenly turned cold and stern as he rebuked, "If he hadn't killed those two demons, your fate wouldn't have been just being demoted to cook."

"Oh, and that jade maiden, she conspired with you in causing trouble; she must be punished. Banish her to ten lifetimes of reincarnation, each of which will be devoid of any chance of becoming an immortal."

Kui Mulang's heart skipped a beat: "Yes..."

"Lady Yin, take Li Jing home," the Jade Emperor said.

Lady Yin bowed and said, "I will respectfully obey the decree of the Great Heavenly Venerable."

Huang Mei bowed deeply to the Jade Emperor and said with a smile, "All matters are settled; I shall take my leave."

The Jade Emperor looked in the direction of the sound, and the more he looked, the more he appreciated it.

In particular, the way this situation was resolved caught his eye, and he secretly praised the ingenious idea.

"Huang Mei, I know that you have a free-spirited personality and cannot be bound by the rules of Heaven, so you are unwilling to serve as an official in Heaven."

How about this? I'll give you a gold token, allowing you to enter the palace to meet the Emperor at any time, and no one is allowed to stop you.

You can also use this golden token to command the gods of the world, to punish the good and eliminate the evil, just like an imperial envoy.

Huang Mei was taken aback, then immediately bowed and said, "I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's high regard; how could I, a humble immortal, be ungrateful?"

As the saying goes, times change.

He initially hesitated to accept the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty because he was concerned about the thoughts of the Buddha of the East.

Now he and the Buddha of the East have become a community of shared interests. Moreover, the Jade Emperor has considered both the situation thoroughly and made it clear in public that if he does not accept the offer, it will easily cause trouble.

After all, both Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods illustrate a principle:

Don't overestimate the tolerance of great people. Even saints can be petty and narrow-minded!

"good."

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, and with a wave of his sleeve, golden light flashed in the void, quickly condensing into a golden plaque carved with a dragon.

Huang Mei raised his hands, took the gold medal, and thought to himself, "Another layer of armor."

Although relationships are not static, the emperor's favor and appreciation are not always consistent.

But for now, this gold medal is entirely beneficial to him.

From then on, before the gods of the mortal realm, he was considered an imperial envoy granted special permission by the emperor!
