I started out transmigrating and becoming a god, but the system insisted it was Journey to the West!

"General Li, I'm fine, no need for you to worry!" Su Yichen stood up and patted off imaginary dust from his body.

He could tell that Li Jing didn't have any good feelings towards him.

Although he greatly admired Li Jing's achievements before he transmigrated, he would not tolerate it if the other party targeted him.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling, who was standing to the side, also stepped forward.

"General Li, Nephew Su, we will be arriving at the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun tomorrow. Do not let any discord arise. Eliminating the evil forces is our most important task at present," Fang Xuanling advised immediately after observing the situation of the two men.

"Hmph, I naturally know what the most important task is right now, but I can't stand others pretending to be mysterious and deceiving His Majesty," Li Jing said disdainfully.

"Whether it's just a charade or some people's short-sightedness, we'll find out tomorrow," Su Yichen said calmly, as if he didn't take Li Jing's words to heart at all.

"You..." Li Jing was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Jing, who spent his life on the battlefield, had countless military achievements, and even the Emperor had to treat him with respect, was now being treated with such humiliation.

"Alright, you two are both capable men. General Li, I, the prophet, have been a bit blunt. Please don't take offense," Fang Xuanling said amiably. "Nephew Su, General Li is, after all, an elder, so please be more polite in your speech."

Upon hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Jing snorted angrily and fell silent.

He knew that a major battle was imminent, and he could not afford to let their discord disrupt the morale of his troops.

So he bowed to Fang Xuanling and left.

The next day, early morning.

The sun shone on the earth, and Su Yichen was sitting cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the rising purple energy to cultivate.

After a moment, Su Yichen exhaled a breath of stale air and stopped cultivating.

Although there isn't much spiritual energy here, the Vermilion Bird Technique is indeed powerful, even though I only cultivated it for a short while under the rising sun.

However, it made him feel that his cultivation had become slightly loose.

Then, Su Yichen took a step and, amidst the incredulous gazes of countless soldiers, walked straight towards the forefront of the army.

Although it was walking, its speed seemed much faster than flying.

One step and you're still here, the next you're already a hundred meters away.

"A deity, truly a deity!"

"I want to become his disciple and practice the method of immortality."

"Li Laosan, you should leave now. With your big front teeth sticking out, I can tell at a glance that you have no affinity for immortality."

"Hmph, Wang Lao Er, I may not have you, but I do. I can smell your stinky feet from ten miles away."

The man called Li Laosan immediately became enraged.

However, at this moment, there was no longer any fear in the army, because there was such a sage in charge.

They will definitely be fine.

On the contrary, they were somewhat expectant, having heard too many stories of gods and monsters.

But so far, we haven't seen a real monster.

Is it really like in the storybooks, with blue eyes and fangs?

Su Yichen, who had already reached the forefront of the army, naturally had no idea what they were thinking.

You should know that what you're about to meet is the Green Lion Spirit, the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

One of the three great monsters of Lion Camel Ridge, one of the eighty-one tribulations.

Although the three of them—the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Roc—did not have the upper hand in a one-on-one fight against Sun Wukong, they still did not have the upper hand in a three-on-one fight.

Although the Green Lion Spirit couldn't defeat the Monkey King, it was still a being of immortal level.

It's definitely not something I can fight against.

However, since he dared to come to the Tang Dynasty to eat people, there should be other immortals to subdue him.

After all, this is the Tang Dynasty, even if no immortals come here.

The Golden-Winged Roc should also come and beat him up, after all, the Roc's previous incarnation was Li Yuanba, Li Shimin's brother.

Before Su Yichen could continue thinking, the army had already arrived in Qingfeng County.

This is a small county under the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and also one of the cities that was massacred by that monster.

Before Li Jing could give the order to enter the city, one of the scouts he had sent to investigate rushed out anxiously.

"General, everyone inside is... everyone is dead!" The scout's eyes were filled with fear, as if he had witnessed something terrifying.

"As expected!" Li Jing said after a moment's thought, "The entire army enters the city!"

Li Jing then lashed his horse with his whip and charged straight into the city.

He joined the army in his teens and had seen countless cities slaughtered, so he was naturally not frightened by the scout's words.

However, as soon as he entered the city, he saw countless mutilated corpses.

Even someone as seasoned as him couldn't help but feel nauseous.

At this moment, Su Yichen also entered the city.

Seeing the mountain of corpses was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

He suddenly remembered a line from Journey to the West: "Human hair curls up like felt, human flesh rots into mud and dust."

"Could it be that this Azure Lion Demon intends to use the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as Lion Camel Ridge?" Su Yichen silently recited the mantra of the Heavenly Fire Vermilion Bird Technique's Tranquility Chapter, and it took him a while to suppress the nausea in his mouth.

At this moment, Li Jing, who had recovered, looked at Su Yichen. Seeing that he did not vomit like the other soldiers, he thought that he might really be a master.

He then asked Su Yichen, "Sir, what do you think we should do now?"

The situation is beyond his control now; the scene here could not possibly have been caused by the Turks.

Although the Turks also regarded the Central Plains people as two-legged sheep, the Turks were ultimately human beings and could not possibly have caused such a horrific scene.

Moreover, the villagers did not move their grain.

He was somewhat at a loss after hearing Li Jing's words.

Asking a Foundation Establishment cultivator to take on a demon king one-on-one? You're kidding me!

It's impossible to hit it!

But before he could continue to explain, a loud voice came from inside.

Then a flame shot into the sky, engulfing the entire heavens.

"This...this..." Fang Xuanling, a civil official, had never seen such a scene before, and was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

Even Li Jing took a step back.

Then a figure leaped out from the sky.

"Roar!" A sound shook the ears of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"I want to eat people!" The voice fell.

A huge figure leaped out, kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, a little dust could not possibly obstruct Su Yichen's vision.

Within the dust was a monster tens of meters tall, with a blood-red body, a huge wing, and enormous fangs.

Although it looks terrifying, it's just...

Isn't the Green Lion a lion spirit? Why does it have wings?

And for some reason, this monster looked somewhat familiar.

Did he watch a fake Journey to the West before?

Wait, it might just be a minor demon under the Green Lion's command!

"Monster, did you slaughter this city?" Su Yichen asked the "Green Lion".

"Haha, humans, are you scared? You are all just food for me!" Big Brother laughed loudly.

"What are you afraid of?!" Su Yichen replied irrelevantly to the monster in front of him, and immediately summoned the Crimson Flame Sword and charged at it.
