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

Chapter 267 Halloween Princess
In the nameless cave, the Lion King’s laughter, as deep as a bell, echoed in the cave.

"Hahaha, third brother, you're finally here!"

Hearing the familiar voice of the Monkey King, the Lion King stood up suddenly and strode towards the cave entrance to greet the Monkey King.

Outside the cave, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on a thin-faced demon wearing a cloak. It was the Monkey King.

The Monkey King explained to the Lion King with some apology:

“The East China Sea is a long way away.”

"I can't fly well, and I'm afraid of revealing my whereabouts, so I used the water escape method to come here, and I'm late."

"Don't blame me, second brother."

Upon hearing this, the Lion King smiled heartily, patted the Monkey King on the shoulder, and said:
"Hahaha, how could you be late, Third Brother? You came at the right time."

"Now that you have come to Uttarakuru, you can rest assured."

"This Northern Julu Continent is the territory of our demon race. The gods in heaven cannot reach here."

"Decades ago, the Great Emperor Zhenwu came to this Northern Continent to exorcise the demons."

At this point, the Lion King sneered:
"But before the Great Emperor Zhenwu could travel a thousand miles, he was slapped back by Senior Demon Saint Ji Meng with two palms."

"In the end, the Great Emperor Zhenwu had no choice but to capture some poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts on the outskirts and ended the matter hastily."

"He declared to the outside world that he was 'the master of the north', and that in the land of Uttarakuru, all demons were slain and evil spirits were lurking."

"Haha, what's going on here? Don't the demons of our Northern Julu Continent know it?"

Upon hearing this, the Monkey King's eyes sparkled with admiration, and he smiled and said:

"This Senior Ji Meng has a deep connection with the Dragon Clan."

"My brother Wuzhiqi and sister-in-law Aojun want to come to Northern Juluzhou to visit him in the near future."

"Demon Saint Ji Meng..."

When Xiao Chen heard the name Ji Meng, he felt very familiar with it.

There is no other reason. Even in later generations, the names of "Wind Master Fei Lian" and "Rain Master Jimeng" are well-known.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Middle Eight Classics" records: "One hundred and thirty miles to the east is the Riguang Mountain, which has many green mountains on top and many trees below. The god Ji Meng lives there. He has a human body and a dragon head. He always swims in the Zhangyuan. When he goes out or comes in, there will be wind and rain."

Ji Meng has a human body and a dragon head, bird claws, and feathers on his arms. He often appears in places with water, and is always accompanied by strong winds and rainstorms.

Ji Meng was originally a dragon general under Zulong and had dragon blood.

In ancient times, the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn fought for supremacy and launched countless thrilling battles. Ji Meng once accompanied Zulong in his conquests and made great military achievements.

However, the good times did not last long. With the fall of Zulong and the defeat of the dragon clan, Ji Meng defected to Donghuang Taiyi, became a general in the Demon Court, and was revered as one of the Ten Demon Saints.

In the ancient demon court, there were also 365 righteous gods.

Ji Meng walked between clouds and rain, controlling the changes of wind and rain, and was named the "Rain God" of the ancient demon court, also known as the "Rain Master".

Later, Ji Meng followed Donghuang Taiyi to participate in the earth-shaking war between wizards and demons.

After the demon clan was defeated, Ji Meng led the remaining demon clan to retreat to Uttarakuru, preserving the last spark of fire for the continuation of the demon clan.

Ji Meng was also a warlike person. In the great battle of Zhuolu, Ji Meng, the rain master, and Fei Lian, the wind master, once joined forces to fight against Emperor Huangdi, causing him to suffer many defeats.

There is no clear ranking among the ten great demon saints, but the fact that Ji Meng was able to survive the brutal war among the dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes for supremacy, and also survive the war between wizards and liches, is enough to illustrate the strength of this "Rain Master Ji Meng".

"Okay, okay, fourth brother, come and have a drink. I've reserved half a jar of this thousand-year-old wine just for you."

The Lion King enthusiastically took the Monkey King's hand and led him to his seat, while ordering the little demons in the cave to quickly pour wine for the Monkey King.

"Third brother, you are here."

"Third brother, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you these days?"

……

When Bull Demon King and King Golden Horn saw the Monkey King coming, they raised their glasses to welcome him.

After some pleasantries.

The five demons, Bull Demon King, Lion King, Monkey King, King of Golden Horns and General Tutu, each took a seat and started drinking.

For a moment, the cave was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The Lion King repeated the situation to the Monkey King, including the dispute with the opponent, the rules of the round-robin battle, and the upcoming decisive battle.

Since it was a round-robin battle, both sides sent out their own players temporarily, taking turns to fight, and responding to the situation improvisationally. No one knew who would send out what player first, so they had to respond to each other's moves on the battlefield.

This time, both sides were fighting for the top of a mountain, so the location of the battle was simply agreed to be on the Lion King's "original mountain", the Lion's Roar Mountain.

The four monsters haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that they have come to the Lion King's territory, the Lion King naturally has to play the role of host and take everyone around for a tour.

A few months passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day for the battle between the two sides arrived.

Ready to go.

When it comes to a fight, it's all about momentum.

The Lion King carefully selected a thousand demon soldiers and prepared to go to the battlefield together to boost morale.

Xiao Chen and Bull Demon King also rode on the "Water-avoiding Golden-eyed Beast" to show off and assert themselves.

After the demon soldiers were ordered, the four demon kings, Bull Demon King, Lion King, Monkey King, Golden Horn King and General Yatun, these five great demons led a mighty army and headed straight for the Lion's Roar Mountain.

The figures of the group of monsters drew a long trail across the vast Uttarakuru, like a group of black storms, sweeping away.

Very powerful.

Lion's Roar Mountain is six thousand miles north of the Nameless Mountain. The mountain is majestic and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a natural barrier standing on the land of Uttarakuru.

The Bull Demon King, the Lion King, the Golden Horned King and other demons arrived soon.

Xiao Chen stood on the clouds, looking down at the mountain range that was about to become a battlefield, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

“Although the name of Lion’s Roar Mountain is rough, the scenery is very elegant.”

Xiao Chen exclaimed sincerely, wherever his eyes looked, there were beautiful scenery that was refreshing and refreshing.

I saw that the Lion Roar Mountain stretched for eight hundred miles, with undulating terrain, like a giant dragon lying down.

Thousands of valleys flow, streams gurgle, thousands of cliffs compete for beauty, and peaks stack up.

At this time, the rain has stopped and the sky is clear. The sun shines on the moist earth, flowers are scattered all over the ground, and a faint fragrance still lingers among the trees.

When the wind blows, the pine trees sway gracefully, and the green mountains seem to open their arms, welcoming every living creature that comes here.

The Lion's Roar Mountain is covered with lush grass and blooming wild flowers. Various exotic flowers and plants grow between the cliffs, ivy entwines the beautiful trees, and the steep mountains and hills are full of vitality.

This scenery is really: "The towering mountains are in a dark green, and the towering mountains are surrounded by green and play with the mist."

On the Lion's Roar Mountain, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so rich that it seems tangible, and every breath can make people feel the baptism and sublimation of body and mind.

In this poor, mountainous and water-scarce Uttarakuru continent filled with evil spirits, such a place with abundant spiritual energy has undoubtedly become the target of public criticism and is a real hot commodity.

"Third brother, your Lion's Roar Mountain is indeed a good mountain."

Xiao Chen once again expressed his sincere admiration.

It’s no wonder that the Lion King is targeted by others since he owns such a good mountain.

In this Northern Continent, the environment is so bad that it is almost beyond description. The evil spirit and filthy air are intertwined, making this land full of danger and anxiety.

To be honest, there are not many places suitable for cultivation.

For practitioners, a suitable environment for practice is crucial.

If the environment for cultivation is too bad, and one inhales too much foul air during the practice, that is naturally not good.

Therefore, in this Uttarakuru, a mountain where people can live for a long time and is suitable for cultivation has undoubtedly become a scarce resource among scarce resources.

The Lion King's hill is indeed a hot spot, so it's no surprise that it's being targeted by others.

"Oh, I came to Northern Juluzhou and searched for a long time before I found this mountain."

The Lion King spoke.

"At the beginning, this hilltop was extremely desolate and uninhabited. It was surrounded by poor mountains and bad waters, filled with evil spirits, and there was hardly a trace of life to be found."

The Lion King continued, a hint of memory flashing in his eyes.

"But you also know that I have the ability to move mountains, and I am also the best at observing mountains."

"It can draw the power of the earth veins to change the terrain and earth veins."

"After careful observation, I can see that the ground veins on this mountain have a good trend and can be used for a lot."

There was a hint of pride in the words of the Lion King.

"So, I used the power of the earth veins to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions to move to this Lion's Roar Mountain."

"I spent countless efforts to transform this mountain with my own hands, and it has gradually regained its vitality and vigor."

His words were full of pride.

"It took me a long time, a hundred years, to transform this mountain into a fairy cave. Every blade of grass and every tree here is the result of my hard work and sweat."

The Lion King sighed.

"Those nine ghost carriages are just people who sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor."

"He has set his eyes on this precious land and wants to occupy it by force. Humph, he is just picking my fruits."

The Lion King sneered, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"I see……"

Xiao Chen suddenly realized. He was originally curious about how such a nice hill suddenly appeared when the surrounding area was barren.

Now after hearing what the Lion King said, he finally understood that this was actually transformed by the Lion King himself using the power to move mountains.

But now...

Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the Lion's Roar Mountain again, and he saw the three big characters "Jiu Shou Mountain" written on the top of the mountain. Next to it was the plaque "Jiu Shou Cave Mansion", which looked particularly eye-catching.

Xiao Chen could understand the Lion King's feelings at this moment.

For the demon king, "mountain tops are like clothes" is a symbol of the demon king's identity and status. Now, the Lion Roar Mountain is forcibly occupied by the nine-headed ghost carriage, which is tantamount to revenge for the Lion King's wife being taken away.

"After helping the Lion King seize the mountain."

"I should also find a good mountain and let my good second brother help me build it up."

"Only in this way can we recruit talented people."

Xiao Chen thought to himself.

A good mountain can not only provide a high-quality training environment, but also attract more talented demons to come and join.

In this northern continent, mountain top represents strength and status. King Jinjiao also needs to find a mountain top of his own in order to better develop his power.

Xiao Chen's left eye possesses the "Golden Pupil of the Sun" pupil technique, and his right eye has also been fused with the innate spiritual treasure "Ancestral Dragon Pearl", so his eyesight is now excellent.

Xiao Chen focused his eyes and looked around with a sharp gaze. He accidentally discovered a large pool of water thousands of miles north of Lion's Roar Mountain.

The abyss is so vast that one cannot see the end at a glance. It is just like an inland ocean, with vast waves and magnificent momentum.

In the center of the abyss, a large square island is clearly visible. Even when looking down from a high place, its outline can be clearly discerned.

"Third brother, where is that big water abyss behind?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the Lion King looked solemn and said slowly: "That is the Buzhou Abyss, and the island in the middle is the Buzhou Island."

"Buzhou Abyss, Buzhou Island..."

"Could it be the ruins of the ancient Buzhou Mountain?"

Xiao Chen was surprised when he heard this.

"good."

"In the past, when the witches and demons fought each other, the ancestor of witches Gonggong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, causing it to break apart."

"The pillars of heaven collapsed, the sky also broke apart, and the water of the Celestial River poured down like a waterfall, gathering along the river and forming the Buzhou Abyss."

"As for Buzhou Island..."

The Lion King paused for a moment, as if he was a little shy about the next topic.

"The upper half of Mount Buzhou was smashed to pieces by Gonggong, while the middle half was used to refine magic weapons."

The Lion King couldn't tell the man's name directly.

Although the Lion King did not directly say the man's name, Xiao Chen already understood the history.

After all, that magic weapon is so famous that almost everyone knows it.

Fantianyin.

Gonggong broke Pangu's spine, and Yuanshi Tianzun chopped him off again, refined the Fantian Seal, and gave it to Guangchengzi.

"Buzhou Mountain...refining weapons."

Xiao Chen looked at Buzhou Island and shook his head.

This Buzhou Mountain is obviously a good material for refining weapons.

But unfortunately, this thing is too hard and only a saint can shake it.

It is obvious that he, the King of Golden Horn, does not have the ability to dig away Mount Buzhou.

"As for the lower half of Mount Buzhou, it is deeply buried in the earth and is one with the entire earth. It can be regarded as the root of the earth."

"No one wants to take it. After all, who can dig out the entire earth?"

The Lion King continued.

"In this way, the last part of Mount Buzhou combined with the surrounding waters to form the Buzhou Island we see today."

The Lion King pointed to the large square island in the distance and explained.

"However, perhaps because the pillar of heaven was broken and the heaven and earth sent down a punishment, the area around the Buzhou Abyss is desolate and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is completely gone."

"Therefore, there are no monsters willing to establish a base here."

The Lion King explained.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and he glanced at the Buzhou Abyss and Buzhou Island again.

Things in this world are divided into useful and useless.

When you have a new pillar, forget the old one.

Now that the world has a new pillar, Mount Buzhou has finally lost its former function and has been completely forgotten in this desolate land, abandoned by the world in the long river of time.

Mount Buzhou is, after all, ancient history.

At this moment, the Lion King suddenly shook his body. He strode to the top of Lion's Roar Mountain, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the Nine-Headed Cave in front of him.

He took a deep breath, then suddenly opened his mouth and roared out with a deafening lion's roar:

"Nine-headed Ghost Carriage, your Lion King grandfather is here! Get out now!"

The lion's roar was like thunder, echoing over Lion's Roar Mountain, shaking the surrounding trees and even the entire mountain range.

……

Inside the Jiushou Cave on Jiushou Mountain, the reception room is decorated magnificently, but it cannot conceal an eerie atmosphere.

At this time, in the reception room.

A man with a feminine complexion was smiling and showing great courtesy to the beautiful dragon girl who was sitting beside him.

This dragon girl was named "Ao Yao". She was truly "enchantingly beautiful". Her face was pretty, as if carved from the most delicate jade. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her black hair was as black as ink, falling smoothly to her waist. It swayed gently with her movements, exuding a faint fragrance.

The most special thing is that she has a pair of "coral-like horns" on her forehead, which are crystal clear and add a bit of mystery and nobility to her. Her face is radiant, like a peerless fairy walking out of a painting, making everything around her pale in comparison.

It can be said that it embodies the spirit of heaven and earth.

The temperament and appearance of this dragon girl can definitely be described as: "She is as pretty as a flower and as charming as the moon, with great talent".

"Sister Yao, I know you are weak and have always had some underlying illness. You can't stand the invasion of poisonous miasma."

The Nine-headed Insect shamelessly tried to get closer to Ao Yao. He continued to flatter her, "How can those filthy places outside be worthy of where you are?"

The Nine-Headed Insect pointed to the surroundings of the Nine-Headed Cave and said proudly:
"What do you think of my cave? It is beautiful and just right for you to live in. I knew you were coming, so I snatched this cave to welcome you."

However, Ao Yao frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously displeased with the name of Nine-headed Insect.

Ao Yao responded coldly:

"Nine-headed ghost carriage, you and I are equals."

"When no one is around, you can just call me by my name 'Ao Yao' or my Taoist name 'Wan Sheng'. Please don't call me 'Sister Yao'."

"You and I are not that close."

Princess Halloween was indeed extremely smart. She saw through the Nine-Headed Insect's sweet words with just one sentence and was not fooled by him.

Princess Halloween said bluntly:
"Also, I was recently invited by Sister Jin Ni and Sister Qing Jun to come here for training."

"How did you know I was coming? And occupied the cave?"

"Do you have the ability to predict the future?"

The Nine-Headed Insect's lie was exposed, but he didn't look embarrassed at all.

The Hydra has nine heads, and with so many heads, it naturally has more shamelessness. He has long been accustomed to such scenes.

The Nine-Headed Insect spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Sister Yao, I'm sincere to you, why can't you see it?"

"I really want to tear out my true heart and show it to you!"

"I heard that the 'Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum' in the Heavenly Palace and the 'Buddha's Relics' in Lingshan both have the effect of making up for innate deficiencies."

"Just say the word, and I, the Nine-Headed Ghost Carriage, will get it for you even if I have to go through fire and water!"

"Hey……"

Upon hearing this, Princess Halloween couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She had been ill since her mother's womb and was born with a deficiency, so she had always needed Ganoderma lucidum to nourish her body.

When she escaped from her marriage in the West Sea, she settled in a pond in the Dongsheng Continent, and cultivated the Ganoderma lucidum seeds she brought with her there.

However, they were all destroyed by a golden-horned toad monster.

At that time, she had just escaped from her marriage and did not dare to reveal her whereabouts. She had to swallow her anger and let the golden-horned toad monster go.

She had been ill since her mother's womb and was born with a deficiency, so she needed some Ganoderma lucidum to nourish her body from time to time.

Without the nourishment of the Ganoderma Lucidum, her recovery was delayed for a while. Now, her congenital deficiency has become even more serious and has affected her subsequent rest.

Nowadays, perhaps only the legendary "Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum Grass" from the Queen Mother can completely cure it.

but……

But, go to the Lingxiao Palace in Daluo Heaven to steal the treasure from the Queen Mother?
This is easier said than done.

Thinking of this, Princess Wansheng couldn't help but curse in her heart:
"Hmph, Golden Horn."

"Damn toad monster!"

"This princess will find you sooner or later and give you a thousand lashes."

"Then castrate it and use it as a mount!"

Thinking of this, Princess Halloween couldn't help but curse with gritted teeth.

Princess Halloween always thought of the golden-horned toad monster who had ruined her Ganoderma lucidum and damaged her body.

She was upset and secretly resentful.
