Journey to the West: Starting with the True Lord of the Pure Land

Chapter 411 If you can't wake them up, then kill them; Jade True Demon-Slaying Sovereign

The woman was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, blasted away by the immense force contained in Chen Jiao's punch.

With her purple hair flying and her green robes fluttering, she drew a straight line in the void, retreating hundreds of feet away before barely managing to steady herself. She used her sword to support herself against the void, her breath disordered.

A pair of purple eyes were fixed on the imposing figure of Xuan Qing in the distance.

Chen Jiao had long sensed that this goddess was acting strangely, her mind was clouded, and she was probably under the influence of demons for a long time, which had clouded her true nature and made her unable to distinguish friend from foe.

Although the Heavenly Thunder can suppress and kill demons, judging from the situation, the demonic roots are deeply embedded and cannot be easily eradicated by external forces.

"If you can wake them up, fine; if you can't, then kill them."

Chen Jiao remained calm and composed, his mind made up.

Without another word, he snorted coldly, his black cloak billowed, and he stepped into the void with his sword, his figure transforming into a blazing white lightning bolt, carrying the might of heaven, and slashing straight at the purple-haired woman!

Where lightning struck, cracks appeared in the void, stars swayed, and a chilling aura permeated the entire small world.

Outside the Dongxuan Mansion, spiritual light emanates and celestial mist swirls.

The two female disciples who had followed Chen Jiao inside, along with two or three other cultivators, had now retreated hastily outside the mansion. They were all pale-faced, their breathing uneven, and they looked at each other in shock.

"What a terrifying sword light!"

Upon entering, one felt as if the world had collapsed and one's soul was about to be torn apart!

A middle-aged man, clutching his chest, spoke of the older female cultivator with lingering fear, shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "It wasn't just sword light. What lay inside wasn't a palace, but an endless void, dotted with stars, utterly unpredictable."

That female immortal in green—without asking any questions, she struck with her sword the moment they met; her ferocity was overwhelming, she was definitely not a benevolent person.

"Fortunately, fortunately, True Lord Jingfa was there to stop them, otherwise—"

The other young cultivator's voice trembled, and everyone understood what he was about to say.

If it weren't for True Monarch Jingfa shattering that terrifying sword rainbow with a single punch, they probably wouldn't even have had a chance to retreat.

"True Lord—truly remarkable." The pretty female cultivator sighed softly, her eyes still filled with awe.

"That sword intent was shattered by a single punch from him—"

As everyone was whispering, the figures of the three demons, Tiger, Deer, and Sheep, also appeared from inside the mansion, clearly having just arrived.

Seeing the panicked expressions of the people outside the mansion, the three demons already knew what was going on.

The goat demon, with a concerned expression, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and asked, "Fellow Daoists, why are you gathered outside the mansion, lingering without entering? Could it be that inside—"

Upon seeing that they were the three demon immortals, the eldest female cultivator composed herself slightly, returned the greeting, sighed softly, and said with lingering fear, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but this Dongxuan Mansion is not a blessed land; it is truly a perilous place."

It is a world of its own, boundless in the void, and guarded by a female immortal in green robes and purple hair.

We had just entered and hadn't even had a chance to look around when we were attacked by his boundless sword light, a truly perilous situation.

If it weren't for the great supernatural powers of the True Lord Jingfa, who temporarily halted their advance, we would have had no chance of escaping.

In my humble opinion, I am afraid I am not fortunate enough to enjoy the opportunities here, and fellow Daoist should proceed with caution.

""

After she finished speaking, she exchanged glances with her fellow disciple and the other two cultivators. They all saw the intention to retreat in each other's eyes, clearly indicating that they did not intend to enter this dangerous and unpredictable Dongxuan Mansion.

Upon hearing this, the sheep demon's face showed a fleeting look of surprise, which quickly turned into a smile. "I see, thank you for reminding me, fellow Daoist. However—"

He slightly changed the subject, glancing at the tiger demon and deer demon beside him before looking at the crowd again, his words earnest yet tinged with a touch of magnanimity.

"Since it is an opportunity left behind by ancient immortals and there is also the Jingfa Zhenjun leading the way, how can we give up because of the danger?"

Although the three of us are of shallow cultivation, we are all of the level of Celestial Immortals. Perhaps we can enter and lend a hand to the True Lord, so that we can explore the mysteries of this mansion together.

Even in the face of danger, it is only right to help one's fellow believers.

His words were spoken in a grand and righteous manner, as if he were a fellow Taoist from the Xuanmen sect who was eager to help the True Lord and was concerned with public welfare.

Upon hearing this, the older female cultivator and her companion hesitated and exchanged glances.

To lend a helping hand to the True Lord?

They knew they couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of that devastating sword strike, let alone offer any help.

Although these three demon immortals meant well, I'm afraid they also...

Before the female cultivator could persuade him further, the deer demon, impatient, said in a booming voice, "Brother Yang is absolutely right! Opportunities are sought amidst danger; how can we be timid and hesitant?"

"The True Lord is facing a formidable foe alone; this is precisely the time when he needs capable men! Let's go, let's not linger here!"

Having said that, he took the lead and once again strode towards the entrance of the Cave Mystery Palace, which was filled with spiritual light, his steps firm and without hesitation.

The tiger demon also bowed slightly to the crowd and said in a deep voice, "We appreciate your kindness, fellow Daoists. Having entered this treasure mountain, it is not my wish to leave empty-handed. Please make yourselves at home."

After speaking, he and the sheep demon followed closely behind the deer demon, their figures disappearing into the misty spiritual light and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The people outside the mansion watched the three demons disappear, speechless for a long time.

"These three demon immortals have quite the nerve."

The young cultivator murmured, his tone complex, neither clearly praising nor admiring.

"Perhaps it's because they're highly skilled and daring," the other person shook his head.

"But the situation inside—alas."

The older female cultivator gazed at the restored tranquility of the mansion gate, her brows still furrowed with worry. In the end, she could only sigh softly and say, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and opportunities are determined by fate. So be it, this place is not a place for us to linger. Let us seek our opportunities elsewhere."

Without any further hesitation, the group took flight and headed back towards the corridor they had come from, leaving the void portal and the unpredictable dangers within far behind.

After everyone left, the air in front of the mansion gate rippled slightly.

The three demons slowly reappeared, clearly not having actually entered the mansion, but merely using a clever illusion to deceive everyone and pretend to enter.

Then the sheep demon laughed and said, "It really is her, Jade True Demon Slayer Sovereign."

This woman is no pushover. In the past, she followed the Azure Emperor and slew countless demons with her sword. Even demon lords who could rival true immortals were killed by her.

Although now tainted by demonic energy and clouded by demonic influence, trapped by murderous intent, his ferocity is likely even greater than before.

That True Lord Jingfa is likely to suffer some hardship this time.

Upon hearing this, the deer demon's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she sneered, "Jade True Demon Slayer? What a boastful name. She's nothing but a madwoman trapped in this place with a flawed Dao heart!"

It would be best if those two fought to the death, both severely wounded, saving us the trouble! But—”

The deer demon paused slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, and said, "Although this madwoman is delirious, she kills without thinking, without distinguishing between friend and foe."

If we rashly enter, we will be swept away by that sword light—”

"It's alright."

The tiger demon calmly interrupted, its gaze deep and unfathomable as it looked at the portal that emitted spiritual light.

"The Lord has long planned ahead. The demon within her mind is the key. When the time is right, he will guide her to do what she is meant to do."

The tiger demon's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He continued, "Since that True Lord is so confident in his supernatural powers and has forced his way into this mansion, let him deal with this ancient sword immortal for a while, wear down his spirit, and weaken his magical power."

The three demons looked at each other and all smiled.

After waiting a while longer, he estimated that the battle inside the mansion should have reached its climax, and the powerful aura was already faintly visible outside the mansion.

The tiger demon growled, "The time has come, let's go!"
