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

Seeing that the Nine-Headed Insect's ferocity had subsided, the Unicorn Dragon seemed somewhat interested in the two princesses.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued, picking up where he left off:

"Let's start with the Jade-Faced Princess of Moyun Cave on Jilei Mountain."

His father, the Fox King, was a renowned and ancient demon with profound cultivation.

I've heard that their family is incredibly wealthy, with spiritual herbs, divine iron, and rare treasures in their caves, and they even supposedly possess ancient demon script inheritances!

It's such a pity, such a pity.

He shook his head, revealing a look of regret mixed with schadenfreude:

"I heard that the old fox king offended some powerful enemy a few years ago and was seriously injured. It is said that his Dao foundation was even damaged."

Now they hide in the Moyun Cave, barely clinging to life.

Hehe... I'm afraid my days are numbered!

With him gone, wouldn't his cave become an ownerless treasure trove?

The unicorn dragon chuckled and lowered its voice:

"I heard that the old fox king is extremely anxious now."

He wished to find a powerful and reliable son-in-law for his only beloved daughter, Princess Jade Face!

That Jade-Faced Princess is said to be incomparably beautiful, so beautiful that I feel pity for her. If I could marry her, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing, gaining both wealth and a beautiful woman?

These words were like sparks thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the greed of the demons in the cave.

From those pairs of bewitching eyes, some crimson, some eerie green, gleamed an undisguised gleam of covetousness.

Is this really true?

"The treasures of Moyun Cave..."

"If only I could marry the Fox King's daughter..."

The fleshy-winged toad standing nearby, its mouth watering, interjected in a muffled voice:

"I've heard about it too! That fox spirit must have delicate skin and be as beautiful as a flower."

The nine-headed worm's nine heads had their eyes slightly closed, as if it were resting.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the ears of two or three of the heads twitched slightly.

The one-horned dragon demon, observing the nine-headed worm's expression, perked up at the sight of it and lowered its voice, speaking with a hint of mystery:

"This second one is also someone with quite a background!"

She is none other than Princess Wansheng, the apple of the eye of the Old Dragon Wansheng of the Jade Pool in the Chaotic Rock Mountain!

He paused deliberately, building suspense, before lowering his voice, his tone carrying a mysterious undertone:

"The princess's appearance is absolutely stunning and rare. Those who have seen her say that her beauty is unparalleled and she is the most outstanding among the dragons!"

I, Old Qiu, was completely engrossed in listening to it.

However, the most wonderful thing is not just that…”

He looked around again and whispered:

"According to secret rumors, this Princess Wansheng possesses an extremely special physique, the Xuan Yin Maiden Physique, a rare find even once in ten thousand years!"

"Xuanyin girl body?"

During the meal, the fleshy-winged toad couldn't help but exclaim in surprise again, its bulging eyes wide open:

"But what about the top-tier furnace physique that is of unparalleled benefit to the path of dual cultivation?"

"Exactly!"

The unicorn dragon demon slapped its thigh and exclaimed excitedly:

"It is said that women with this physique are not only excellent cultivation vessels, but their primordial yin also contains profound mysteries."

If one can win their heart and cultivate oneself day and night, one's spiritual progress will increase, bringing incredible benefits!

The Old Dragon of Halloweens cherishes this woman like a treasure; ordinary people don't even have the chance to see her!

Upon hearing this, the demons were so excited that they beat their chests and stamped their feet, spitting as they spoke.

"Princess Wansheng, Princess Yumian—if I could have either one, my life would be complete!"

"If we could kidnap Princess Wansheng, wouldn't the path to the Great Dao be within our grasp?"

"I've heard that the Jade-Faced Princess is incredibly charming, even more so than her mother was back then."

"If one could take control of Mount Jilei, what a glorious prospect it would be."

The demons indulged in their dreams of gaining both wealth and beauty, displaying all sorts of ugly behavior.

The nine-headed worm, sitting in the main seat, finally showed a noticeable reaction.

His most imposing and ferocious head, located in the center, suddenly opened its blood-red eyes.

The lingering ferocity in his eyes, combined with the burning greed that now ignited within, pierced the darkness with two tangible beams of blood-red light.

His imposing aura, like that of a mountain, rippled outwards uncontrollably, causing the entire cave to tremble slightly.

He slowly brought the empty bone cup in his hand to his lips, and stuck out his long, scarlet tongue to lick the bloodstains remaining on the cup.

The movements were slow and deliberate, yet carried a chilling, unwavering sense of pressure.

The fairy in colorful clothes was very perceptive; seeing this, she immediately laughed sweetly:

"You, Qiu Lao Er, are talking so eloquently, as if you could actually be involved."

A princess with such a superior family background and appearance is extremely rare, even among the demon races of the Three Realms!

Only a true hero of noble blood and great power like Your Majesty is worthy of being worthy of him!

If we could obtain them, wouldn't it be a perfect match, a match made in heaven?

The fleshy-winged toad also hurriedly flattered in a muffled voice:

"Exactly! Exactly! That Bull King is so proud of himself just because he married a Rakshasa woman."

Wouldn't it be a wonderful story if Your Majesty could marry both of these princesses at the same time?

"At that time, the prestige of my Northern Continent will surely surpass that of Western Continent!"

The demons chimed in, showering the nine-headed worm with flattery, linking it to the two princesses.

The nine-headed worm was quite pleased and muttered to himself:

"It's been a long time since I've been to Xiniu Hezhou. Once things are settled here, I might be able to visit it again."

The demons feasted for a while longer, sharing tales of wonders from all corners of the world and amusing stories of raids.

Suddenly, the Nine-Headed Insect gently slammed the bone cup in his hand onto the table.

The bottom of the cup touched the bone table, producing a soft but unusually clear crisp sound.

"clang."

The voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a command, instantly silencing all the noise.

All the demons present fell silent and looked at the host with awe.

The nine-headed worm raised its nine heads slightly, its eighteen eyes gleaming with bloodlust as it swept over the demons below. Its voice was low and slow:

"Let's not gossip."

He paused, and the cave was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"I have summoned you here today for another important matter."

Upon hearing this, all the demons became solemn.

The nine-headed worm's gaze was deep and unfathomable, as if piercing through the cave walls and looking towards the distant heavens. It slowly said:

"A hundred years ago, the theft of the essence of the Weak Water of the Milky Way shocked the Heavenly Court."

The one ordered to exterminate the demon at that time was the Thunder Department's Lord Yilie.

The strength and resources of those comrades back then far surpassed ours today.

Among them were powerful demon kings in the late Nascent Soul stage or even the Mahayana stage, who acted with greater secrecy and thoroughness.

However……"

He paused, his tone turning sharp:

"But in the end, they were still tracked down by this Heavenly Lord Yilie and captured in one fell swoop!"

A collective gasp filled the room.

The unicorn dragon's pupils contracted, the colorful female demon's face changed slightly, and even the seemingly dazed flesh-winged toad stopped chewing, its eyes revealing horror.

Although they knew about this, they were too weak at the time to understand the details.

The Nine-Headed Insect took in the reactions of all the demons and continued, his voice icy cold:

"Now, a century has passed."

That Yilie Tianjun has even been promoted to the rank of True Lord!

"True Lord?"

The unicorn dragon cried out in shock, its face filled with disbelief:

"He...he's actually advanced to the rank of True Lord?"

The woman in colorful clothes also paled, and said in a trembling voice:

"The position of True Lord...this..."

Nine-Headed Insect snorted coldly, silencing the commotion at the table:

"You will all remember this!"

The Heavenly Court is full of talented people and is by no means a monolithic entity, but it also has its share of those who use ruthless methods!

Although we are under the protection of adults and are hiding here, we must still act with utmost caution, and must not repeat the mistakes of a hundred years ago!

However, after the initial shock, the one-horned dragon bristled, its beard bristling, and a hint of disdainful ferocity flashed in its eyes. It said in a deep, gruff voice:

"Brother, you're putting too much pressure on others."

A hundred years ago was a hundred years ago.

Now, thanks to the guidance of my elders, my strength is vastly different from what it used to be!

Moreover, we are hiding in Beiju Luzhou, which is extremely secretive!

Could this Heavenly Lord possibly possess such extraordinary abilities that he could find this place?

He patted his chest and said proudly:

"If he really dares to come, then let him know how powerful the demons of Beiju Luzhou are."

He must also pay the price for what happened a hundred years ago!

Upon hearing this, several demons at the table also showed expressions of agreement and echoed it in hushed tones.

Clearly, their reverence for the Heavenly Court was far outweighed by their blind confidence in their own power and the protection of the powerful.

The nine-headed worm's gaze swept over the indifferent demons, a shadow passing over its eyes, but it did not utter another rebuke, only saying calmly:

"Better safe than sorry."

You all know the answer to this matter.

Don't let his henchmen come knocking on your door without you even realizing it.
