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

Chapter 227 Appointment at the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea
"Ok?"

"Speak of the Bull Demon King, and the Bull Demon King will come?"

Xiao Chen was startled when he heard this, and when he looked up, he saw the Bull Demon King riding on the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast coming down.

The Bull Demon King had a solemn expression on his face, and it looked as if something big was about to happen.

"Brother, let's go."

"I also happen to have something to discuss with you."

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the secret room and talk slowly."

Xiao Chen also said in a serious tone.

The Bull Demon King has always been a cheerful person. The thing that can make him so serious must be quite serious.

then.

The Bull Demon King's water-avoiding golden-eyed beast "Wangcai" went to find Xiao Chen's water-avoiding golden-eyed beast "Wangbao" to play.

Xiao Chen found a secret room.

Inside the secret room.

Xiao Chen and Bull Demon King sat opposite each other.

"Watch the tea."

Xiao Chen waved his hand, and the little demon serving him served tea to the Bull Demon King.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and sent the little demon away.

Then, Xiao Chen waved his hand and carefully set up a soundproof barrier.

After all, there are some people in this world who have the ability to eavesdrop everywhere, so it’s better to be careful and on guard.

"Brother, you just said that you also have something to ask me?"

The Bull Demon King stroked his beard and asked with some confusion.

"Well, I have an urgent matter and need to trouble my second brother, King Yuxiong."

"I want you to go to the underworld with me, big brother."

Xiao Chen spoke.

Although he and King Yuxiong became sworn brothers in Jilei Mountain, he was not particularly familiar with King Yuxiong after all.

The Bull Demon King is their big brother, middleman, and leader.

If you want to ask King Yuxiong to do something, you really can't do without Bull Demon King.

"King Yu."

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King shook his head and said:
"My dear brother, I'm afraid that King Yuxiong will not come out in the short term."

"Brother, why is this?"

Xiao Chen's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked.

"King Yuxiong was in seclusion last time to break through to the late stage of Taiyi Jinxian, and I forcibly dragged him out to help me."

"So, after he dealt with the matters of the blue lion, the white elephant, and the golden-winged roc, he immediately rushed back to continue his retreat."

"I have already disturbed King Yuxiong's retreat once. If he is disturbed again, I am afraid it will affect his breakthrough."

The Bull Demon King explained.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen also looked embarrassed.

In the world of Journey to the West, the cultivation of one's realm is undoubtedly the foundation of a person's life.

No matter how big the matter is, it is not as big as breaking through the realm.

If the Yuxiong King was in seclusion at a critical moment, the Bull Demon King might be able to disturb him, but it would be difficult for him to disturb him.

"But don't worry, brother."

"King Yuxiong was almost breaking through last time."

"This time, he also captured the souls of the green-haired lion monster and the yellow-fanged old elephant spirit. These two souls from the Taiyi Gold Fairyland will be of great benefit to him."

"I estimate that in one or two years at the fastest, or three or four years at the slowest, he will be able to break through and come out of seclusion."

"Besides, King Yuxiong will become even more powerful by then."

"I will send my most capable bull demon to squat in front of his cave."

"As soon as he comes out of confinement, you and I will go find him together."

Bull Demon King saw Xiao Chen's difficulty, patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and comforted him.

Among all his brothers, he has the closest relationship with Bull Demon King and his brother Golden Horn.

It was simple. He and his brother Jinjiao were from the same pot. They had carried guns together, divided the loot together, and were jointly involved in a major case such as "imprisoning the golden-winged Roc".

He and his brother Jinjiao will die together and live together. They are tied together and have long been like grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Um……"

"That's fine, I'll trouble you then, brother."

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, he felt a little relieved.

After he hid the Scorpion Spirit in his golden house, he no longer had any worries.

There are still twenty years until the Ullambana Festival begins.

If it takes three or four years, he can still wait.

Moreover, after breaking through the realm, the more powerful King Yuxiong will undoubtedly be more confident in dealing with Bodhisattva Vimala.

"Brother, what polite words are you saying?"

"Your business is my business, big brother."

"When I get back, I will send my most capable bull demon to guard King Yuxiong."

"As soon as he comes out, we'll go look for him."

The Bull Demon King smiled brightly.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, brother."

Xiao Chen also laughed.

No matter what kind of person the Bull Demon King is in the original plot.

However, the Bull Demon King in front of him did things that really made him worthy of being called "Big Brother" by the King of Golden Horn.

"I wonder what you want to talk to me about, brother?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

The Bull Demon King picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said:
"Brother, do you remember when we went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to borrow weapons together?"

"What happened in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea?"

This happened a while ago. Xiao Chen recalled it after hearing it.

More than a hundred years ago, he went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea with the four demons: the Monkey King, the Bull Demon King, and the Lion King to snatch magic weapons.

grab?
Oh, no, that’s “borrowing” magic weapons.

The Monkey King borrowed the Ruyi Jingu Bang and he borrowed the Huagan Fang Tian Ji.

The Lion King borrowed a nine-section divine whip.

The Bull Demon King borrowed a pair of Qingfeng swords and gave them to the Rakshasa woman.

At that time, he, the Monkey King, the Bull Demon King, and the Lion King swore an oath together and signed a written document.

"Lending weapons" must be rewarded. If the Dragon Clan has any problems in the future, we will help.

"Brother, are there people coming from the Dragon Clan?"

"Are you asking for the promise to be fulfilled?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen seemed to be thinking about something and asked the Bull Demon King.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, the dragon clan came to Jilei Mountain to find me, brought a copy of the document from that year, and asked us to go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea."

"He said he wanted to ask for something."

"They were going to come to you, but I simply refused and came directly to discuss this matter with you."

"We can come up with an idea together."

The Bull Demon King said with a serious expression.

When one is in the demon world, one must be trustworthy and have integrity.

He has such a famous reputation as the "Bull Demon King", but if the news of him defaulting on his debts gets out, it will be a joke.

What's more, he had made an oath in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and signed a document there, so he couldn't deny it.

But what puzzled him was that the Dragon Clan did not come here to ask for favors in an open and aboveboard manner, which was a bit strange.

"Dragon clan, I have something to ask of you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen also felt strange.

There is a saying: "No one goes to the temple without a request."

The dragon clan used the favor they owed to them over a hundred years ago to ask them to do something, so they must be planning something big.

However, it was difficult for him to refuse this.

A man without trust cannot stand, a businessman without trust cannot be reputable, and a business without trust cannot prosper.

The Dragon Clan is the master of the four seas. It is not a good choice to offend the Dragon Clan for no reason. If the news gets out, King Jinjiao will lose his credibility and his weapon refining force will be in trouble.

Moreover, when this happened back then, he, King Jinjiao, swore an oath and wrote a document, promising that "there will be repayment in the future."

The oath was made and it is written in black and white with the dragon clan.

Now that the dragon clan has come to ask for help, he should indeed repay the favor.

"Brother, is there anything strange about this?"

Xiao Chen asked.

If this was just a normal thing to do, the Bull Demon King wouldn't be so serious.

"This dragon clan didn't come to visit openly. They concealed their figures and auras, and acted in a sneaky way."

The Bull Demon King said with a serious expression.

If the dragon clan came to visit openly, he, the Bull Demon King, would not find it strange. He would just repay the favor directly.

But the dragon clan's trip was indeed a bit strange, with some weirdness everywhere.

"Aren't the dragons here to visit openly?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen also felt a little strange. He looked at Niu Mowang and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"If their visit is not an upright visit, then what they are asking for is not an upright thing either."

Xiao Chen analyzed.

"good."

The Bull Demon King nodded and agreed.

"But, brother, based on my experience."

"Debts should be paid off as soon as possible."

"Especially when it comes to debts of gratitude, the longer you delay, the more trouble you'll have." "It's better to get this over with as soon as possible."

"What do you think?"

The Bull Demon King stood up, walked around, thought for a moment, and finally spoke.

"That's fine. After all, what we said back then was that if you do what you can, you will be rewarded."

"If the Dragon Clan asks us to do something unbelievable, we brothers will just refuse it."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said.

Right now, King Yu Monkey is in seclusion to break through, and it will take another three or four years for him to come out.

It would be better to go to the Dragon Palace first to settle the favor owed to me back then.

Moreover, there is a saying: "Mochou Sea Dragon King has no treasure!"

There are many treasures in Dragon Palace.

He still remembered the countless treasures he saw in the sea treasury of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

Back then, he had low strength and status, so he could only follow the three demons, the Monkey King, the Bull Demon King, and the Lion King, and it was not easy for him to steal treasures.

Now, more than a hundred years have passed.

His power has greatly increased and he is now well-known in the demon world.

Now that the dragon clan is asking them to do something, they are taking the initiative and the situation is very different.

If he went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, he could try to get his hands on the treasures in the sea treasury there.

With so many treasures in the Dragon Palace, if King Jinjiao touched them all, there is a great possibility that he could combine them into an innate spiritual treasure for attack to deal with the Pleiades star official and Vimala Bodhisattva.

He first touched the treasure of the Dragon Palace, and then combined the innate spiritual treasure to assassinate the star official of the Pleiades and the Bodhisattva Vimala.

This is also a way.

"The countless treasures in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea."

Thinking of the countless treasures in the sea treasures of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Everyone in the world knows that there are no treasures in the Dragon Palace!
"Well, brother, I came to you to discuss this matter."

"Since you and I both think it's okay to go."

"Then let's set out together in three days, so we can help each other."

The Bull Demon King drank the tea in the cup, stood up and smiled.

That day in the Lotus Cave on Pingding Mountain, he saw this virtuous brother Jinjiao kill the golden-winged Roc, the green-haired lion monster, and the yellow-fanged old elephant almost single-handedly. He saw this ability clearly.

Now in terms of combat power, Brother Jinjiao is no less powerful than him.

He and his brother Jinjiao came over to communicate. If anything happens, they can fight or retreat with the help of Bull Demon King and his brother Jinjiao.

"Well, big brother, see you in Yuntai Mountain in three days."

Xiao Chen smiled.

So, after the two agreed on a time, Bull Demon King went back.

Xiao Chen summoned the Tiger Power Immortal, the Black Bear Demon, the Yellow Wind Monster, the Green-faced Fish Demon and other monsters to explain all matters.

Now, with the Black Bear Demon and the Yellow Wind Monster in charge of his Silizhai, and the help of his partner, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, he felt a lot more at ease.

The Black Bear Demon is a big demon who can fight with Sun Wukong for a whole day. He is extremely skilled in martial arts and has extraordinary magical powers. He is quite comprehensive and has no weaknesses.

Even when Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to subdue the black bear demon, she had to resort to trickery, tricking the black bear demon into eating elixirs and putting a golden hoop on him.

Although Guanyin Bodhisattva has great magical powers and boundless power, objectively speaking, her professional attributes are a bit like those of a control or healing mage, focusing on long-range attacks and a bit weak in melee combat.

Wherever Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva goes, he always brings a "guardian warrior" with him, who never leaves his side, such as Mu Zha, the traveler from Hui'an.

Guanyin Bodhisattva subdued the Black Bear Demon and Red Boy by trickery, and she also admitted: "I can't get close to the Scorpion Demon either!"

The Yellow Wind Monster is a powerful demon who can fight with Sun Wukong for thirty rounds, and can cause Sun Wukong to suffer a loss with his breath of Samadhi Divine Wind.

Needless to say, how powerful the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord Centipede Monster is.

With the three demons, the Black Bear Demon, the Yellow Wind Monster and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King, stationed in the rear and cooperating with each other, he had nothing to worry about.

"Hu Li, I'm going to be out for a while. If you need anything, you can go to Pansi Cave to look for Baimu Taoist."

Xiao Chen gave instructions to the Great Immortal Huli.

"Brother, I understand."

The Great Immortal Huli nodded.

……

Three days later.

The top of Yuntai Mountain.

The Bull Demon King arrived on time.

However, this time, the Bull Demon King did not ride the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast. After all, what the dragon clan wanted might not be something aboveboard.

They should all be careful and not be dragged down by the dragon clan for no reason.

A secret room on the side of a mountain.

Niu Mowang and Xiao Chen were discussing how to speed up their journey. The key point of this journey was to hide their bodies.

"Brother, I will transform into a Gyrfalcon."

The Bull Demon King thought for a moment and said.

Like Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, Bull Demon King also has the ability to transform into seventy-two different forms.

"Then I will use my magical power of changing into a small toad."

"Please give me a ride, brother."

Xiao Chen smiled when he heard this.

then.

The Bull Demon King used the magic of "Seventy-two Transformations", and his figure gradually became blurred, and a strange wave filled the air.

In a blink of an eye.

The Bull Demon King transformed into a Saker Falcon with gorgeous feathers and a strong body.

Xiao Chen revealed his true form, and then used his magical power of "size as desired" to quickly shrink his body, transforming it into a tiny toad.

With a clear eagle cry.

The Saker Falcon grabbed the little toad and rushed out of the window, flapping its wings and flying high, like a black lightning that cuts through the quiet sky and soars into the clouds, and soon disappears without a trace.

……

Above the boundless blue sky, the clouds flow slowly like endless white mountains.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the white clouds, casting mottled spots of light like scattered gold powder.

A Saker Falcon was flying quickly among the clouds, holding a small toad in its grasp, as if it wanted to take the toad back for a snack.

These are Bull Demon King and Xiao Chen.

On the way to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, Xiao Chen and Niu Mowang were talking about something about the dragon clan.

"Brother, how much do you know about this dragon clan?"

"Now, this dragon race... doesn't seem to be strong?"

"Do you still need our help?"

Xiao Chen asked with some doubt.

The dragons in the world of Journey to the West are indeed a bit tricky. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are like handymen, always available at any time.

"Well, brother, this is a long story."

The Bull Demon King is a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast, the Xuanyin. He has a profound family background and knows many of the secrets.

The Bull Demon King explained:

"After Pangu created the world, he established the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which made the prehistoric space stable."

"Later, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth gave birth to three chaos beasts, just like chaos gave birth to Pangu."

"That is, the first dragon, the first phoenix, and the first unicorn."

"They are the Primordial Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin."

"The Ancestral Dragon, the Original Phoenix, and the First Kirin each created the Primordial Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Kirin Clan."

"The Primordial Dragon Clan is the leader of the Scaled Armor Clan and controls the four oceans."

"The Phoenix Clan is the leader of all flying birds and controls the vast skies."

"The Qilin clan is the leader of the wild beasts and controls the wild land."

"Later, the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn tribes fought for supremacy. They all wanted to annex the other two tribes and become the only powerful tribe. Endless killing began to spread across the wilderness..."

“The fighting is getting more intense.”

"The primitive world was almost destroyed."

"The dragon, phoenix, and unicorn all ended up in a losing situation, and were almost wiped out."

"The Ancestral Dragon died, and his 'Birth Dragon Ball' also disappeared into nothingness, and its whereabouts are unknown."

"As for the current dragon race..."

"To be honest, they can only be considered the descendants of the tribe created by the Ancestral Dragon. They can't actually be considered the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon."

"The former overlord of the prehistoric world has now completely become a vassal of the Heavenly Court and Lingshan Mountain. He has no dignity at all."

"For example, Jing Zhonglong was guarding the Huabiao Pillar for the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace, which was coiled on the pillar of the main hall as a decoration."

"The stable dragon is guarding the palace for the Jade Emperor in heaven, the useless dragon is ringing the bell on Lingshan Mountain to tell time, and some dragons are pulling the Jade Emperor's carriage..."

The Bull Demon King sighed.

"Even if one or two stronger dragons appear occasionally, such as the 'Kangjin Dragon', they will be summoned by the Heavenly Court."

"Not for the dragon clan to use."

The Bull Demon King continued to explain.

"Oh, brother, I understand."

Xiao Chen nodded.

To put it bluntly, the current dragon clan is very different from the ancient dragon clan. Many of them have very poor bloodlines, and after hybridizing with other creatures, their bloodlines have become even more mixed.

The current four seas dragon clan is far inferior to the direct descendants of the Ancestral Dragon, and is not as powerful as the primordial dragon clan.

Moreover, the current dragon clan is almost completely controlled by the Heavenly Court and has no dignity or status at all.

Time passes.

The dragon clan, once the overlord of the ancient world, eventually declined.

……

More than ten days later.

Xiao Chen and Bull Demon King have arrived at the coast of the East China Sea.
