I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 104: A fierce battle to capture the rebels in Shenxianwu, and the trapped Jiugong Two Immortals come to help
It is said that the five great marshals Deng, Xin, Liu, Bi, and Pang came down to the mortal world with 30,000 heavenly soldiers and reached the territory of Jialan Prefecture in Hezhou, Xiniu.

At this time, Marshal Deng stopped the thunderclouds, stopped the heavenly army, turned around and shouted loudly: "Star Flag."

A team of heavenly soldiers holding the star flag came up to them, and Marshal Deng ordered, "Set up the Seven Star Formation and contact the Beidou Xingxiu Mansion."

The heavenly soldiers immediately took orders and set up a formation. Soon a small Big Dipper formation was set up above the thunderclouds. Then the center of the formation was opened, and a ray of starlight instantly rose from the center of the formation and went straight into the sky.

Soon, there was a response from the sky. The daytime stars appeared, the Big Dipper flickered slightly, and a ray of starlight fell from the sky and went straight into the eyes of the seven stars.

After a moment, the heavenly soldiers folded up their formation and came to report to Marshal Deng: "Marshal, the Beidou Star Palace responded that they have marked the Tanlang constellation above the hiding place of the two thieves."

Hearing this, Marshal Deng waved his hand, and the heavenly soldiers bowed and then retreated.

Marshal Deng then turned back and said to the other four marshals, "Four Taoist friends, please go to one side and search for the Greedy Wolf constellation."

The four marshals Xin, Liu, Bi and Pang nodded, then each of them took two heavenly generals and rode on the clouds, flying in four directions.

Soon after, a celestial general pointed to the sky and said, "Marshal Deng, look over there."

Marshal Deng looked up upon hearing this, and saw a red divine light lighting up in the western sky, which was extremely dazzling even in the daytime sky.

At this time, Marshals Liu, Bi, and Pang, who were heading to the east, south, and north, also flew back and said to Marshal Deng, "It seems that they are with Marshal Xin."

Marshal Deng nodded, then immediately urged the thunderclouds to mobilize the army straight to the west.

When the army reached the place where the divine light rose, Marshal Xin returned with two heavenly generals and said to Marshal Deng: "The hiding place of the two thieves is in the Shenxianwu below."

Marshal Deng and his companions sent down the thunderclouds and looked towards Chenxian Valley. They saw a valley standing on the bank of a black river, with a starry constellation of Tan Lang hovering above it.

The Black River is extremely wide, with the water rushing down violently. Black mist is rising from the surface of the river, and not even goose feathers can float on it, and it is difficult for gods and immortals to cross it.

"Is that the Ruoshui River?" Marshal Bi asked.

Marshal Pang nodded and said, "Yes, that is the Ruoshui River, which originates from West Kunlun and flows into the Netherworld. It stretches over 34,000 miles across the land of Xiniuhezhou."

Marshal Xin said with a smile: "These two bandits are guarding the mountain valley with their backs against the Ruoshui River. Could it be that they also want to fight to the death?"

Everyone laughed, and they would not take this seriously. Marshal Deng said, "They defended here, obviously because they don't want the Heavenly Army to set up a trap on all sides."

Marshal Liu said, "But the Weak Water River is a self-contained territory. No matter what you are, you will sink if you get close to it. My heavenly soldiers cannot set up a net, but they have no way to retreat."

Marshal Deng said, "These two thieves are ancient immortals. They may have some unknown means. We should not take them lightly. Marshal Bi and Marshal Pang, the battle will start later. You will each lead 5,000 heavenly soldiers to guard the left and right wings."

Marshals Bi and Pang bowed and said, "As you command."

Afterwards, the troops were divided into three groups, and the three marshals Deng, Xin and Liu personally led 20,000 heavenly soldiers to the outside of Chenxianwu.

At this time, Marshal Deng took the command flag from the hand of the heavenly general beside him. He took out the thunder flag and waved it. In an instant, General Bafang Yunlei came forward on a cloud, chanting thunder curses and emitting lightning with his hands.

For a moment, there were heavy thunderclouds over Chenxianwu, the wind was blowing fiercely, the sky was dark and cloudy, and thunder was roaring in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, General Bafang Yunlei activated his thunder, and lightning bolts fell from the sky. Thousands of lightning bolts rumbled down on Chenxianwu.

I saw Chenxianwu shaking constantly under the strike of thunder and lightning, but soon, I saw a ray of light suddenly flew out of Chenxianwu, which instantly dispersed the dark clouds in the sky and thunder in all directions.

Even General Bafang Yunlei was pushed back hundreds of feet, and then the shock wave flashed, and in a moment it turned into a Taoist priest wearing the robe of the Five Thunder Master, with disheveled hair and a long beard hanging down to his chest.

As soon as the Taoist appeared, he shouted, "A group of heavenly soldiers and generals, with nothing better to do, came to our homes and thundered and discharged electricity. Do you still have public morality?"

Marshal Deng walked up to the clouds and shouted at the Taoist, "Great Immortal Hun Lei, you have been receiving immeasurable blessings from the Heavenly Court until now. When has the Jade Emperor ever treated you unfairly? Why did you plot rebellion, attack the Tongming Palace, and assassinate the Jade Emperor?"

When the Immortal Hun Lei heard this, he immediately retorted: "Marshal Deng, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. We old men have been staying in Chenxianwu all the time. When did we plot to assassinate the Great Heavenly Venerable?"

Marshal Deng said: "The immortals who plotted rebellion have been arrested and brought to justice. They have also confessed the mastermind behind the scenes. Whether you know it or not, since you are here, you are already in the trap."

The Immortal Hun Lei said: "Officials are two words, so naturally it's up to you to say whatever you want."

Marshal Deng said, "Stop talking nonsense and let Feng and Yang come out to speak. They will have their own opinions."

As soon as Marshal Deng finished speaking, three beams of fairy light flew out from Chenxianwu, followed by the appearance of three fairies, two men and one woman.

Marshal Deng took a quick look and saw that only Yang Xian had emerged from the two immortals Feng and Yang Xian, while the man and woman behind Yang Xian were the other two ancient immortals.

After Yang Xian came out, he glanced over here and immediately asked with a smile, "So it's the five marshals from the Thunder Department who have come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I wonder what the five marshals are doing here?"

Immortal Hun Lei flew forward and said, "Yang Xian, these five marshals said that we were rebelling and plotting to assassinate the Great Celestial Lord."

Yang Xian was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Five Marshals, who said that?"

Marshal Deng said calmly: "Those immortals who were caught for rebellion have already confessed."

"Absolutely impossible." Yang Xian said directly: "We are loyal to the Great Heavenly Venerable, how could we do such a heartless thing? Please ask the five marshals to report to the Great Heavenly Venerable and say that someone has framed us and wronged us. Please investigate clearly."

Marshal Deng said: "Since you didn't do such a thing, then come back to Heaven with us. If you are truly innocent, my Thunder Department will naturally give you justice."

"No, no." Yang Xian shook his head and said, "There must be someone in the Heavenly Court who wants to harm us, otherwise they would not frame us like this. If we go back, we are afraid that we will be harmed by the treacherous people. We should ask the Heavenly Court to investigate thoroughly and clear our name before we speak."

Marshal Deng said, "In front of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, nothing is impossible. If you Taoist friends are unwilling to go back, then we have not come here in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Marshal Deng waved the command flag in his hand, and 20,000 heavenly soldiers immediately deployed in battle formation.

Seeing this, Yang Xian hurriedly asked, "Marshal Deng, are you going to start the fight now?"

Marshal Deng said: "Are these tens of thousands of people here for a spring outing? Since you fellow Taoists are unwilling to return to heaven on your own initiative, then I have to 'invite' you to return to heaven."

Yang Xian laughed and said, "That's true. If that's the case, let's learn from each other."

After saying this, Yang Xian smiled at the three immortals behind him and said, "I'll leave this to you three fellow Taoists."

The three immortals nodded and said, "Don't worry, Yang Xian." Yang Xian nodded, then turned into a ray of immortal light and flew back to Chenxianwu.

At this time, Marshal Deng had led the heavenly soldiers to attack Chenxianwu, while General Bafang Yunlei used his thunder magic to strike directly at the three immortals.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. The Great Immortal Hun Lei flew to the top of the other two Great Immortals, his thunder robe fluttering, and he formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Hun Lei Da Fa!"

There is a saying that goes, "The mountains and rivers are majestic, and the universe responds. Thunder is rolling in all directions."

As the Hun Lei Dafa was activated, the lightning in the hands of General Bafang Yunlei was immediately attracted by the Hun Lei Dafa.

The next moment, the Great Immortal Hun Lei turned his arms and drew a big circle in the air. In an instant, lightning flashed brightly and General Bafang Yunlei was instantly pulled over by the Great Immortal Hun Lei.

All they saw was General Bafang Yunlei being pulled down by the thunder and lightning, falling into Chenxianwu and disappearing in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Marshals Deng, Xin and Liu were slightly surprised. As expected of the ancient immortals, they captured General Bafang Yunlei immediately.

At this time, the Great Immortal Hun Lei laughed and said, "You younger generations, when I was performing thunder magic, you were still in your mother's womb."

Marshal Liu held two swords in his hands and shouted, "Don't be so arrogant, you villain. Watch out for the swords." After that, he threw the two swords in his hands. The two swords made a piercing sword cry and then went straight to kill the Great Immortal Hun Lei.

Then a lilac fairy figure flew forward, it was the female fairy. The female fairy raised her right hand, revealing her bright jade arm. Then she threw her jade hand, and a silver light flashed.

A 'Jiuxia Emei Thorn' flew out from the silver blade and headed straight for Marshal Liu's double swords.

In an instant, a series of "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds were heard, and Marshal Liu's double swords immediately began to fight with the Jiuxia Emei Spear in the sky, splashing bursts of flames.

At this moment, Marshal Xin took out a thunder drum and struck it hard with a thunder hammer. In an instant, the heaven and earth shook and thunder roared.

Marshal Xin struck the drum with his hammer, and suddenly a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket fell from the sky.

The moment this thunder appeared, the sky within a radius of thousands of miles was flashed white.

Seeing this, the Immortal Hun Lei said, "Fellow Daoist Qiongxia, Fellow Daoist Wulu, I will take care of the 'Barbarian Thunder Drum'. You guys entertain Marshal Deng and Marshal Liu."

The male immortal 'Wulu Shangxian' and the female immortal 'Qiongxia Shangxian' responded one after another, and then the Great Immortal Hunlei spread out his arms, and lightning flashed all over his body, and instantly collided with the thunder emitted by the Barbarian Thunder Drum.

A loud rumbling sound of thunder resounded through the sky, and the Immortal Hun Lei actually caught the thunderbolt.

Marshal Xin's expression became serious upon seeing this, and he immediately struck the Barbarian Thunder Drum again. Along with the rumbling sound of the Barbarian Thunder Drum, another bolt of thunder struck down.

At this moment, the Immortal Hun Lei's robes were flying, his long hair was dancing, lightning was flashing all over his body, he held the thunder tightly in his hands, let out an ear-splitting laugh, and went straight towards the thunder.

At this moment, Marshal Liu's two swords were still fighting with Fairy Qiongxia's Emei Spear. The two sides were fighting like water and fire, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Upon seeing this scene, Marshal Deng immediately pulled out a seven-section thunder whip from his sleeve, revealed his Dharma image, and holding the thunder whip, with thunder flashing, he rushed straight towards the three great immortals.

At the same time, Marshal Deng immediately ordered 20,000 heavenly soldiers to advance in formation and charge forward aggressively.

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Wu Lu immediately formed a magic seal with his hands, and then a nine-square diagram quickly appeared under his feet.

As the Nine Palace Diagram appeared, Marshal Deng found that the scene before him had changed drastically in an instant. The original Chenxianwu and Ruoshui River had disappeared, replaced by a maze-like world.

Not only that, there were countless clay warriors in the maze. At this moment, all the clay warriors came to life and launched a charge towards Marshal Deng and his 20,000 heavenly soldiers.

On one side were countless mud mercenary horses, eerie winds, and ghost soldiers everywhere.

On one side were twenty thousand heavenly soldiers, with divine light shining brightly and golden armor gleaming.

Marshal Deng and the 20,000 heavenly soldiers did not retreat, and immediately rushed forward. The two armies immediately collided with each other, and in an instant people and horses fell to the ground, and blood splattered.

Marshal Deng had a majestic appearance, holding a seven-section thunder whip and swinging it continuously. Every time he swung the thunder whip, hundreds of mud mercenaries and horses were smashed to pieces.

However, the mud mercenary horses seemed endless. After killing a hundred, another thousand would appear.

After killing for an unknown amount of time, Marshal Deng discovered that he could not kill all of these mud mercenaries and horses, and the 20,000 heavenly soldiers were now showing signs of fatigue, and their strength was almost exhausted.

At this time, hundreds of mud mercenary generals appeared in the maze in all directions. These mud mercenary generals were more powerful than those mud mercenary soldiers.

Soon the 20,000 heavenly soldiers were exhausted, some died in battle, some were captured, and the entire army was wiped out in an instant.

Marshal Deng had a solemn expression on his face. The surrounding Mud Mercenary Generals and Mud Mercenary Soldiers all surrounded him at this moment. Marshal Deng had no choice but to fight while looking for a way to crack the maze.

At this time, a voice came over, it was the Wulu Immortal, who said: "Marshal Deng, you don't have to waste your time, this is the 'Nine Palace Magic Technique', it is neither an illusion nor nothingness, it is the real 'Nine Palaces Heaven and Earth', once you fall into it, you can't escape even if you have wings."

Endless mud mercenary generals and mud mercenary soldiers rushed forward. Although Marshal Deng could kill a large number of them with a wave of his hand, there was nothing he could do about them as they were endless!
It was unknown how long it had been, but Marshal Deng had used up most of his strength. But at this moment, a yin-yang fish pattern suddenly appeared in the northwest of the Nine Palaces.

I saw two yin and yang fish, one black and one white, swimming around. The next moment, Marshal Deng heard the sound of a sword, which shocked everyone in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a pure Yang sword energy shot out from between the two Yin-Yang fish and directly cut through the void in the northwest of the Nine Palaces Heaven and Earth.

Then a familiar voice sounded, "Marshal Deng, quickly march out from this direction."

"Master Lu?" Marshal Deng's eyes lit up, and he immediately charged towards the northwest. Soon Marshal Deng reached the northwest.

Then another slightly older voice sounded: "Marshal Deng, jump out of this yin-yang fish."

Marshal Deng immediately leaped into the Yin-Yang fish. All of a sudden, everything changed before his eyes. He had flown out of the Nine Palaces of Heaven and Earth, and standing in front of him were Li Tieguai and Lu Dongbin.

"Thank you both for your help." Marshal Deng hurriedly bowed to Li Tieguai and Lu Dongbin.

Lü Dongbin smiled slightly, but Tieguai Li said, "Don't thank me yet, I haven't won yet."

Marshal Deng turned around and saw that his 20,000 heavenly soldiers were gone. He thought they had been taken away by the Nine Palaces. When the Five Immortals saw that Marshal Deng was rescued by Lü Dongbin and Tieguai Li, they smiled and said, "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave. You really have some skills."

At this point, the Wulu Immortal once again formed a seal with his hands and said with a smile: "But if this is all you can do, then the 'Eight Immortals' will soon become the 'Eight Freshmen'."
