Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 132 Lingyunxuan's mysterious owner
After much trouble, Xiao Chen finally recruited the Black Bear Demon into his service by offering him a large peach as a reward. He was naturally very happy.

Now, his Silizhai has the technical talents including the Three Tiger-Power Immortals, the shadow that does the dirty work including the mosquito monster, the one who does miscellaneous tasks including the green-faced fish monster, the general who guards the mountain including the black bear monster, and the foreign aid including the scorpion monster and the bull demon king. It can be said that he has initially established his power.

One day later.

Xiao Chen returned to Chechi Kingdom.

The mosquito demon he had sent out to gather information had returned and was waiting for Xiao Chen in Yuntai Mountain.

"I heard some news about Foyuan Pavilion, Tiangong Pavilion, and Lingyun Pavilion, so I came to report it to the king."

The mosquito demon's clone, Mosquito One, greeted Xiao Chen.

"Well, tell me."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but look forward to it.

There is a saying that goes "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat."

In the past, he only had the mosquito demon Shu Wen, which was not enough, and now he has six more mosquito demons.

So a year ago, he sent all the mosquito demons out to find out the news of the three weapon refining forces, especially the flow of gold in the Foyuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, we transformed into mosquito-sized creatures and lurked near the Buddha Fate Pavilion day and night. We discovered that most of the gold and money obtained from refining tools in the Buddha Fate Pavilion were transported to Lingshan."

"Only a few of them were transferred to the market to buy refining materials, etc."

The mosquito demon said respectfully.

"Most of the gold in Foyuan Pavilion was transported to Lingshan..."

"Gold, sacred mountain..."

Xiao Chen groaned, as if thinking about something.

"As for the gold and money obtained from refining equipment in Tiangong Pavilion, most of them were transported to Nanshanbuzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou."

The mosquito demon continued to report.

"Tiangong Pavilion, Nanshanbuzhou, Dongsheng Shenzhou."

Xiao Chen tapped his fingers lightly. This was not difficult to understand.

Nanshanbuzhou and Dongshengshenzhou are the main places where the gods in heaven collect incense.
For example, the fief of Emperor Dongyue is Mount Tai, the Taoist temple of Emperor Zhenwu is Mount Wudang, the Taoist temple of Yunzhongzi is Mount Zhongnan, and the Taoist temple of the Three Holy Mothers Yang Chan is Mount Huashan...

The boss behind Tiangong Pavilion might be some disciples of the gods in heaven. It is reasonable that they divided the gold and money among themselves to expand the temple and attract more believers.

"Your Majesty, as for this Lingyunxuan, I have discovered something strange."

The mosquito demon hesitated for a moment and reported.

"Oh? Tell me?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

The origin of Lingyunxuan is mysterious, but it can be opened in Xiniu Hezhou and survive under the nose of Foyuan Pavilion, so it must have some background.

You know, the equipment refining industry in Xiniu Hezhou is very complicated and not something that ordinary people can participate in.

Just when he was getting better, he was retaliated by the Foyuan Pavilion. If he had not turned his enemy into his wife and took in the Scorpion Spirit, his Silizhai would have died just as it opened.

Later, the Foyuan Pavilion did not use those sinister means against him behind his back because they were afraid of the Scorpion Demon.

Although he didn't want to be a gigolo, the Scorpion Demon still came out in person to warn Foyuan Pavilion and forced this bowl of gigolo into his mouth.

This Scorpion Demon does have some face in Xiniu Hezhou.

"My lord, I discovered that Ling Yunxuan was doing a lot of human trafficking business behind the scenes, and he especially liked young boys and girls and young men and women."

The mosquito demon reported.

"Human trafficking? Boys and girls, young men and women?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this.

He already had some guesses about the owner behind Lingyunxuan.

In fact, everyone has their own purpose for making money by refining equipment. He wants to make money by sucking treasures and improve his strength.

Tiangong Pavilion could be a cash cow for the disciples of the gods in heaven, helping to attract worshippers and believers.

And Ling Yunxuan made money from refining tools in order to traffic in people? In this world of Journey to the West, mortals actually have many uses for gods, immortals, Buddhas, and monsters.

If it is a young and beautiful woman, the Taoists can use her to absorb Yin and replenish Yang, and refine the furnace and cauldron. The Buddhists can use her to meditate on the joy of Zen and refine it into a flesh lotus instrument.

If they are boys and girls, they can be used to study the art of longevity, such as the White Deer Boy of the God of Longevity, who used boys and girls as medicine leads to make longevity medicine for the Bhikkhu King.

But if even young and middle-aged men are wanted, then they may be eaten directly, or the female monster may take it for nourishment.

If the owner of Lingyunxuan wanted all the boys and girls and young men and women at once,
Xiao Chen guessed that it was most likely eaten.

To put it bluntly, it tastes good.

"So, the boss behind Ling Yunxuan might be a monster who likes to eat people."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen tapped his fingers and pondered.

To be honest, Ling Yunxuan's approach is actually a good way to make money.

Journeying westward is a disaster for mortals.

Now the journey to the west has not started yet, and most of the mounts and boys of the gods and Buddhas have not yet put down their worlds to cause trouble and engage in cannibalistic activities.

The current Xiniu Hezhou is not so chaotic, and there won't be a sea of ​​blood and corpses like the Lion Country with "skulls like mountains and bones like forests, people's hairs curled into felt pieces, and people's skin and flesh rotted into mud and dust".

But if you use money to buy people to eat, to be honest, no one will care.

After all, in the world of Journey to the West, human trafficking is indeed a legal and compliant industry that is recognized by the government.

For example, human traffickers are specialized in human trafficking. The servants and concubines of wealthy families are usually bought from human traffickers. Most of the women in brothels are also bought.

You pay with one hand and receive the goods with the other. Once you pay the money, the person becomes yours, your private property, and you can do whatever you want with him.

Ling Yunxuan is following the normal approach. He is not robbing or stealing. He is paying money. It is a matter of mutual consent between the two parties. Even the king of heaven cannot interfere.

"There are many man-eating monsters in Xiniu Hezhou. They are everywhere."

"I don't know which monster this is."

Xiao Chen tapped his fingers, calculating.

If the boss of Ling Yunxuan is really a monster, I wonder if we can cooperate a little?
"You go down first."

"If you find out any other information, please report to me at any time."

Xiao Chen nodded and gave the order.

After the mosquito demon evolved and transformed, he gained the ability to split himself into mosquitoes, which was equivalent to having several more eyes and ears outside, which was very practical.

This year, Silizhai refined nearly 20,000 weapons.

Xiao Chen absorbed it all and after his cultivation level increased, he synthesized an acquired spiritual treasure called "The Immortal Binding Rope" and integrated his poisonous lump into it.

The Immortal Binding Rope is Tuxingsun's magic weapon. Once it is sacrificed, it can automatically bind the enemy. There are a lot of Immortal Binding Ropes, which can be stretched and retracted freely with the changes of the person, and the more they move, the tighter they are tied.

The poisonous bumps on his body are like ropes to tie up immortals. When fighting, he just uses his poisonous bumps to hit people, which is both poisonous and controlling.

Right now, Xiao Chen has no magic weapon to absorb, as the black bear demon will not come for a month.

Xiao Chen prepared to practice in seclusion again to consolidate his Golden Immortal realm.

Three days later.

Yuntaishan, practice room.

Xiao Chen is practicing with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, Qingmian came with a little fox demon to report: "Your Majesty, the Jade-faced Princess of Jilei Mountain sent someone to inform you that the Bull Demon King has returned."

"Well, my big brother is finally back!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen stood up suddenly.

Two years ago, he and Sun Wukong went to find Bull Demon King together, hoping that Bull Demon King would use his transformation skills to help him cheat the treasure, but unfortunately his cheap brother ran out to visit friends.

Without saying much, Xiao Chen burst into golden light and headed straight for Jilei Mountain.

He still wanted to drag his elder brother into the water, gain control of Silizhai's mountain, and sit on the throne.
