Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Yang Jian stood up and asked, "Brother Nezha, what can I do for you?"

Nezha said excitedly, "Not long ago, I went to capture the Seventh Princess and bring her back to Heaven. I happened to run into Lin Zhu and the Monkey King. They encountered a demon on their journey to the West, a being at the Hunyuan Realm. What do you think about us lending a hand?"

"The Primordial Chaos Realm!" Yang Jian's expression darkened. "Since that's the case, then Yang Jian will make the trip."

"Second Master, let's join together too," the Six Heroes of Meishan said in unison.

The celestial dog barked three times, trying to follow.

"Okay, let's go!"

A flash of silver light appeared on Yang Jian's body, revealing his silver armor.

Not long ago, Jade Cauldron Immortal obtained a piece of star essence from beyond the realm, and entrusted Yun Zhongzi to refine it into a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, whose defensive power is no less than that of a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Thinking that his apprentice had graduated, and that he, as the master, hadn't given him anything in return, he sent him this Star Armor instead.

The cloak on his back is the Hun Tian Cloak, also a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, a gift from Yun Zhongzi, not the quilt of Xiao Tian Dog.

Upon seeing this new outfit, Nezha quickly asked, "Second Brother, where did you get this magic weapon?"

Yang Jian's lips curled up slightly. "It was a gift from my master."

"Wow, Uncle Yu Ding has struck it rich!" Nezha exclaimed in surprise, then added, "It seems your cultivation has gotten even stronger, Second Brother."

"I have made some progress over the past hundred years." Yang Jian's smile grew wider each day.

Nezha seemed to understand something. "Ao Run did do something good. I really don't know what marriage has brought you."

"What else could it be? He has lost his will to cultivate and his mental state has regressed. Otherwise, it's impossible that Master hasn't made any further progress in so many years."

The dog's吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary) came at just the right time.

Unfortunately, Yang Jian couldn't refute it; his wife was really being too difficult.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's set off. Yang Jian is thinking of going to meet that Zhu Ganglie. By the way, where is Zhu Ganglie?"

Nezha said, "There is a place called Wusizang Kingdom, which seems to be located in Yunzhan Cave."

Yang Jian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he stopped in his tracks. "Brother Nezha, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? It's Cloud Stack Cave?"

“Yes,” Nezha nodded. “Is there a problem?”

Yang Jian remained silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice, "Two hundred years ago, I went there once. That pig demon wasn't affected by the evil energy, so how could it become a demon? Brother Nezha, are you sure it's the pig demon from Yunzhan Cave?"

Nezha nodded. "That's what Marshal Tianpeng told me."

"Hmm?" Yang Jian's mood fluctuated wildly. "Marshal Tianpeng told you that, so that pig demon isn't Marshal Tianpeng!"

Nezha looked up at Yang Jian and said, "So that's why. You thought that pig demon was Marshal Tianpeng, Second Brother. It wasn't him; it was another pig demon."

Having received a clear answer, Yang Jian felt relieved. "I misunderstood, Brother Nezha, please don't be offended."

"It's alright, let's hurry up and go," Nezha said, leading the way.

Yang Jian used his Hun Tian Cloak to bring along Xiao Tianquan and the Six Heroes of Meishan. With a leap of golden light, he followed Nezha and arrived at the South Heavenly Gate. Soon after, they arrived at the Kingdom of Wusizang.

Yang Jian used his Heavenly Eye to locate Lin Zhu and the others, not far from the eastern edge of the royal city.

Lin Zhu sensed Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye power and said to Sun Wukong and Zhu Wuneng, "Nezha has arrived, along with Erlang Shen."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Is that Erlang Shen the Jade Emperor's nephew?"

Zhu Wuneng said, "It's him. Old Pig has to go out to greet him."

"I'll go too," Lin Zhu said, following Zhu Wuneng.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong felt it wouldn't be good to stay alone, so he went along with them.

Outside Gaojiazhuang, Yang Jian and Nezha also arrived.

Upon their first meeting, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian took a liking to each other.

"You are Erlang Shen Yang Jian?"

"It is indeed Yang Jian, greetings to the Great Sage Sun." Yang Jian had a rather favorable impression of Sun Wukong, after all, he was the monkey who had caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

"You're too kind, too kind." Sun Wukong could sense Yang Jian's power, and seeing his politeness, he felt a great deal of goodwill towards him.

"Alright, Yang Jian, and Third Prince, you don't need to be so polite. Come in with me." Zhu Wuneng led the way.

At this time, both Grandpa Gao and Grandma Gao were in the backyard. Gao Family Village was currently under the management of Zhu Wuneng.

Gao Cuilan stayed with her parents in the backyard.

Upon arriving in the living room, Zhu Wuneng explained the whole story to Yang Jian and Nezha.

"That Pigsy is not easy to deal with!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian said, "In that case, the pig demon should have a trace of the bloodline of the ferocious beast Fengxi."

"What is the ferocious beast Fengxi?" Sun Wukong, though ignorant, still asked without hesitation.

Yang Jian explained, "Back when the Archery Master, Da Yi, was still in the Chaos Realm, he encountered a ferocious beast at the Chaos level, namely Feng Xi, and shot it dead with a single arrow. After killing eight such ferocious beasts at the Chaos Realm level, he combined the Archery Way of Heaven and Earth with this and became the Archery Master."

Only then did Sun Wukong realize that there were so many powerful beings in the Pangu Realm.

He then asked, "What realm is the Tathagata in? Is he also in the Chaos Realm?"

"Just at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm, slightly stronger than the Jade Emperor."

What Nezha casually said was earth-shattering to Sun Wukong: "That old Jade Emperor is also at the Hunyuan Realm?"

Nezha quickly covered his mouth, "Um, I didn't say anything!"

Sun Wukong realized what was happening and exclaimed, "I, Old Sun, am really stupid, really!"

He was somewhat disheartened for a moment.

Lin Zhu patted him on the shoulder, "No need to be discouraged. The Jade Emperor has cultivated to his current level through 1,750 tribulations, each tribulation lasting 129,600 Heavenly Court years, which is nearly 100 billion years. The Buddha Tathagata is the same. Think about yourself, you are only a little over a thousand years old, yet you have such strength. Why bother with these things?"

“That’s right, that’s right.” Nezha nodded in agreement.

Zhu Wuneng sighed and said, "I envy you people who are exceptionally talented."

Yang Jian then looked at Lin Zhu and asked, "Why does it seem like your cultivation has stagnated lately?"

Lin Zhu said, "You're cultivating too fast. Let's stop and rest."

Yang Jian nodded. "That's how it should be."

Zhu Wuneng sighed, realizing he didn't like playing with people who cultivated quickly.

Chapter 968 The Encirclement and Kill of Zhu Ganglie

West of Tibet, yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see.

A caravan was flying at great speed towards Tibet.

"The metal energy in Xiniu Hezhou is too fierce. We should leave quickly to avoid any accidents."

The caravan manager looked around cautiously.

This group of people can travel within the territory of Xiniu Hezhou; at the very least, they must be in a true immortal realm.

"Half a year has passed, and in another half month we will arrive in Tibet. We will sell the goods we have on hand and get millions of silver dollars. Then we can rest for a while."

The silver mentioned here refers to luck-related silver.

The person speaking seemed very relaxed, making it seem like the manager was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Yes, so we still need to be careful to avoid any unexpected setbacks." The steward's expression remained tense.

Before long, they came to see a mountain, shrouded in mist and clouds, a rare oasis stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.

"Look, there must be people ahead. Let's rest for a day before continuing our journey."

The mountain is Fulin Mountain, surrounded by several cities.

After the caravan entered, they felt refreshed and invigorated.

They were completely unaware that there was no sign of life for the "people" living here.

We arrived at the entrance of an inn.

The inn was carved out of the mountain, making it extremely spacious and luxurious.

"Please come in, esteemed guests. We have fresh roasted pork in our Cloud Stack Cave. It tastes absolutely delicious. You must try it."

A somewhat sleazy-looking shopkeeper welcomed the group inside.

Once the caravan entered, the Cloud Stack Cave resembled a giant mouth, swallowing everyone inside.

Before long, screams of agony came from inside, extremely shrill.

The swirling clouds and mist transformed into a churning, malevolent aura.

The Cloud Stack Cave on Mount Fulin has swallowed countless cultivators.

In the Kingdom of Ü-Tsang, after obtaining a travel permit from the city lord, Tang Sanzang set off from the west gate.

At this time, Zhu Wuneng had already become a disciple and received a Buddhist name, Bajie.

Tang Sanzang hoped that he would abide by the Buddhist precepts on his journey to the West.

Pigsy could only accept this and called Sun Wukong "Big Brother," but afterwards he always addressed him as "Monkey King."

Once outside the western gate of Tibet, the white dragon horse began to gallop wildly.

Lin Zhu remained lying on Lin Zhao's back, empowered by the laws of time and space.

Yang Jian and Nezha flew in the sky, following along.

This time, Sun Wukong finally didn't have to carry the luggage; it was Pigsy who had to.

Heading west, in less than three days, the outline of Fulin Mountain came into view.

"That is Fulin Mountain. Zhu Ganglie used an illusion to make the area around Yunzhan Cave appear as if it were a place of human habitation."

Pigsy put down his luggage, looked at Fulin Mountain, and his eyes burned with hatred.

At this time, they were thousands of miles away from Mount Fulin, and Tang Sanzang, being a mortal, could not see it.

Nezha said, "Marshal Tianpeng, if you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed."

"Watch me (Old Sun) break through his illusion."
