I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

That foxfire was no ordinary flame, but a demonic fire containing the laws of enchantment. Once touched, one would lose their mind and fall into an illusion.

Jiang Wang was prepared. He activated his physical strength, and the scales all over his body emitted a dazzling golden light, forming a solid defense.

The foxfire landed on the golden light, making a "sizzling" sound, but it could not break through the golden light's defense. Instead, it gradually dissipated under the scorching heat of the golden light.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Mei's eyes: "You can actually withstand my bewitching foxfire? It seems that your mind is also extremely firm."

However, that's not enough.

As she spoke, she formed hand seals, and her figure blurred, transforming into countless red afterimages that attacked Jiang Wang simultaneously. Each afterimage carried sharp claw-like winds and contained the demonic power of an early-stage Golden Immortal.

Jiang Wang's eyes sharpened, and he moved swiftly, weaving through countless afterimages to avoid Su Mei's attack.

At the same time, he threw a punch, smashing it towards one of the afterimages.

"Bang!" The afterimage shattered instantly, turning into a wisp of demonic energy and dissipating.

"what?"

Su Mei's voice came through, tinged with surprise, "Young master, you're quite fast."

Her figure solidified again, her eyes now showing a hint of seriousness.

She thought dealing with a young Qilin cub would be a piece of cake, but she didn't expect Jiang Wang's physical body and speed to be so powerful, even more so than some mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivators.

"Stop talking nonsense, either get out or die."

Jiang Wang's tone was icy, and with a swift movement, he charged towards Su Mei.

He didn't use any magic power, relying purely on his physical strength and speed to fight Su Mei.

Su Mei was extremely agile and skilled in illusion and speed. During the entanglement, she continuously released bewitching illusions while attacking Jiang Wang with her sharp claws.

However, Jiang Wang's mind was extremely firm and he was not affected by the illusion at all. His physical defense was also extremely strong. When Su Mei's claws landed on his scales, they could only leave white marks and could not cause any real damage.

The two fought for hundreds of rounds, and Su Mei gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Her demonic power was greatly depleted, while Jiang Wang's aura remained steady and his strength undiminished.

Su Mei was secretly anxious. If this continued, she would be defeated by Jiang Wang sooner or later.

"Young master, you are indeed amazing. I admit defeat."

Su Mei suddenly stopped attacking and retreated, a wronged look on her face. "I was just curious, so I had my men linger near Qilin Village. I meant no harm."

"I will leave with my men now and never go near Qilin Village again. Please forgive me this time, young master."

Jiang Wang looked at Su Mei, his eyes calm and without the slightest ripple: "Do you think I would believe you?"

Having lived two lives, he had seen all kinds of people. This Su Mei was cunning and shrewd, clearly stalling for time and looking for an opportunity to retaliate.

A flicker of panic crossed Su Mei's eyes, but she quickly regained her charming demeanor: "Young master, I'm telling you the truth. How could I dare to deceive you? If you don't believe me, I swear to heaven that if you take another step closer to Qilin Village, may my soul be scattered and I die a horrible death."

"No need."

Jiang Wang shook his head. "I never believe in oaths, I only believe in my own fists."

Today, I will cripple your cultivation, rendering you incapable of committing evil deeds any longer.

He moved swiftly and charged towards Su Mei once more. This time, he used thirty percent of his magical power, integrating it into his physical body, and unleashed a punch that was several times more powerful than before.

Su Mei's expression changed drastically; she could no longer maintain her charming demeanor, her eyes filled with terror.

She could feel the power of that punch; if she were hit, she would be seriously injured, and her cultivation would be completely destroyed.

She dared not be careless, and quickly circulated all her demonic power to condense a red demonic power barrier in front of her, while simultaneously rushing backward to avoid the punch.

"Bang!" A punch slammed into the demonic energy barrier, shattering it instantly. Su Mei was sent flying backward by the immense force, spitting out blood, and her red gauze dress was stained crimson.

She fell heavily to the ground, struggled a few times, but could no longer stand up. Her breath was weak, and she was clearly seriously injured.

Jiang Wang slowly walked up to Su Mei, looking down at her with an icy tone: "Now, what else do you have to say?"

Su Mei raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness: "Little Tu, don't be so smug! I am from a branch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. You hurt me, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan will never let you go!"

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan?"

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow slightly, showing no fear whatsoever.

Although the Qingqiu Fox Clan is an ancient and powerful clan with many quasi-saint level experts, his physical body is now strong and his cultivation is steadily improving. Moreover, he still has memories of his previous life and knows some of the secrets of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

"Even if the Qingqiu fox clan comes looking for me, I will not be afraid."

"Today, I will cripple your cultivation and see what the Qingqiu Fox Clan can do to me."

He raised his hand, intending to strike Su Mei on the head and cripple her cultivation.

Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from the air: "Stop!"

Jiang Wang paused, looked up, and saw a figure in cyan light walking through the air and landing beside Su Mei.

It was a blue fox, dressed in a blue robe, with a cold face and icy eyes looking at Jiang Wang. It exuded the aura of a late-stage Golden Immortal, and was obviously a member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

"who are you?"

Jiang Wang looked at Qinghu warily, his tone icy.

"I am Qingfeng of the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

Qinghu said coldly, "Su Mei is a member of my Qingqiu Fox Clan. How dare you hurt her? You simply don't respect my Qingqiu Fox Clan at all!"

"So what about the Qingqiu Fox Clan?"

Jiang Wang sneered, "She lingered near my Qilin Village, plotting something sinister. It is her own fault that I injured her."

Today, I will not only cripple her cultivation, but I will also leave you all behind!

"Insanity!"

A flash of anger crossed Qingfeng's eyes. His demonic power surged, and countless azure wind blades flew out from his body, enveloping Jiang Wang.

Those wind blades were incredibly sharp, containing extremely strong wind laws, even more powerful than Su Mei's foxfire.

Jiang Wang dared not be careless. He circulated his physical power, and golden light surged around his body. At the same time, he used 50% of his magic power and integrated it into his physical body.

He threw a punch, his fist gleaming with golden light, which collided with the countless wind blades.

"Clang clang clang!"

The wind blades landed on the fist, making a crisp sound, but they could not harm Jiang Wang in the slightest. Instead, they were shattered by the power of the fist, turning into countless fragments of the laws of wind and dissipating.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qingfeng's eyes: "Your physical body is so powerful?"

He never expected that a Qilin cub at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm could withstand his wind blade attack at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm.

"not only that."

Jiang Wang moved swiftly, rushing towards Qing Feng and unleashing a punch.

This punch contained fifty percent of his magical power and formidable physical strength, its power astonishing, enough to severely injure a late-stage Golden Immortal cultivator. Qingfeng's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly circulated his demonic power, condensing a blue wind barrier, while simultaneously retreating backward.

"Bang!" A punch slammed into the barrier, shattering it instantly. Qingfeng was thrown back several steps by the immense force, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a minor injury.

"Such immense power!"

Qingfeng was secretly shocked, realizing that he was no match for Jiang Wang.

However, as a member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, if he were to back down like this, he would surely be punished by the clan.

His eyes narrowed, and he made up his mind. "Little Tu, don't be so smug! My Qingqiu Fox Clan is an ancient clan with many powerful members. You injured me and Su Mei, and the clan will definitely send powerful members to settle accounts with you. At that time, you and your Qilin Village will be destroyed!"

"Threatening me?"

Jiang Wang sneered, "I'm least afraid of threats."

Even if the Qingqiu Fox Clan sends a quasi-saint level expert, I will still fight them without hesitation.

Today, you either leave Su Mei here and get out, or you die here with her.

Looking into Jiang Wang's determined eyes, Qingfeng knew he wasn't joking.

He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and finally decided to save his own life first, and then go back to get help.

"Very well! Little Tu, I, Qingfeng, will remember what happened today! I will immediately return to Qingqiu and report to the clan elders, so they can come and seek justice! You wait!"

As he spoke, he picked up Su Mei from the ground, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of blue light and sped off towards Qingqiu.

Jiang Wang did not give chase. Qingqiu was extremely far away, and even if he wanted to, he might not be able to catch up.

Moreover, he didn't want to confront the quasi-saint level expert of the Qingqiu Fox Clan too early. His cultivation level was not high enough yet, and he needed more time to cultivate.

He turned to look at the remaining four spirits, his eyes cold: "Your master has run away. Now, it's your turn."

The four spirits were terrified and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy: "Young master, spare us! Young master, spare us! We'll never dare to do it again! We'll leave this place right now and never come back!"

Jiang Wang looked at them without a trace of pity.

These monsters usually commit many evils in Black Wind Ridge, oppressing the mortals below the mountain; they deserve to die.

But he didn't want to wipe them out completely. After all, his purpose today was only to warn the Qingqiu Fox Clan and test his physical combat strength.

"Get out of here! Don't let me see you around here again, or you'll be killed without mercy!"

"Thank you so much, young master, for sparing my life! Thank you so much, young master, for sparing my life!"

The four spirits quickly kowtowed in thanks, then scrambled away from Black Wind Ridge.

Jiang Wang looked in the direction they left, a cold glint in his eyes.

Qingfeng will definitely go back to get reinforcements, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan will soon send people to settle accounts with him.

Although Qilin Village is not weak, it is still somewhat inadequate when facing an ancient powerful clan like the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

He must improve his strength as soon as possible, and at the same time, find some powerful backers for Qilin Village.

With that thought in mind, he had an idea.

Now that the great calamity of the Journey to the West is about to begin, all the major forces are secretly making their moves.

He could take this opportunity to go to the central area of ​​Xiniu Hezhou to seek some opportunities and make connections with some forces, such as Huaguo Mountain where Sun Wukong was, or Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

If we can befriend them, we will not only gain powerful assistance, but also gain a foothold in the great calamity of the Journey to the West.

He turned to look in the direction of Qilin Village, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a golden light and sped away.

He needed to return to Qilin Village first to inform Tu Ba about the Black Wind Ridge incident, and then prepare to head to the central area of ​​Xiniu Hezhou.

Back in Qilin Village, Tu Ba, Tu Jian, and Tu Qiang were already waiting at the village entrance.

Upon seeing Jiang Wang return, Tu Ba hurriedly went to greet him and asked, "Little Madam, is everything resolved? Are you injured?"

"It's solved."

Jiang Wang shook his head. "I severely injured that fox demon. One of her companions came to her rescue, but I repelled it."

However, that fox demon is from the Qingqiu fox clan, and her companions have already returned to Qingqiu to get reinforcements. It probably won't be long before the Qingqiu fox clan sends people to settle accounts with us.

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan?"

Tu Ba's expression changed drastically. "How could it be the Qingqiu Fox Clan? That's an ancient clan with a quasi-saint level expert. Our Qilin Village is no match for them at all!"

Tu Jian and Tu Qiang also turned pale. They knew how powerful the Qingqiu Fox Clan was, and their hearts were filled with worry.

"Village chief, what should we do now? Should we leave here immediately and find a place to hide?"

"Avoidance is not the solution."

Jiang Wang said, "The Qingqiu Fox Clan is very powerful. Even if we leave here, they will find us sooner or later."

Now, our only option is to improve our own strength as quickly as possible, and at the same time find some powerful backers.

"Improve our strength? Easier said than done!"

Tu Ba sighed, "Our Qilin clan's cultivation speed is not fast to begin with, so it's almost impossible to improve our strength in a short period of time."

As for backers, the major powers in Xiniu Hezhou are either affiliated with the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist sect. Our Qilin Village is just a small clan; they wouldn't even consider us a threat.

"not necessarily."

Jiang Wang shook his head. "Now that the great calamity of the Journey to the West is about to begin, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect are busy making plans, and all the major forces are secretly accumulating strength."

We can take this opportunity to go to the central area of ​​Xiniuhezhou and look for some opportunities.

"I know of a place where there is a supreme innate treasure. If we can obtain that treasure, the strength of our Qilin Village will surely increase significantly."

"A supreme innate treasure?"

A look of shock flashed in Tu Ba's eyes. "Little Milk, where are you talking about? Innate treasures are so precious, how could they be obtained so easily? Moreover, there must be powerful guardians there, and we can't get close at all."

"The place I'm referring to is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain."

Jiang Wang spoke slowly.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain is the Daoist temple of Patriarch Bodhi, who is a powerful Quasi-Saint at the peak. He has many disciples, the most famous of whom is Sun Wukong.

The innate treasure he mentioned was a treasure under the Bodhi Patriarch, a prototype of the "Diamond Bracelet." Although it was not a complete innate treasure, it still possessed extremely strong defensive power. If one could obtain this treasure, it would be enough to withstand the attacks of a quasi-saint powerhouse from the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain? The Bodhi Patriarch's sacred site?"

Tu Ba was even more shocked. "The Bodhi Patriarch is a reclusive great power who never easily receives outsiders. If we go there rashly, we may be driven out by him, or even killed by him."

“I have a way to see Patriarch Bodhi.”

Jiang Wang said confidently, "In my previous life, I once obtained a token from Patriarch Bodhi by chance. With this token, he should be able to meet with us."

Moreover, Patriarch Bodhi is well aware of the severity of the Journey to the West calamity, and he needs some forces to assist him. Our Qilin clan might be able to become his help. (End of Chapter)
