I am a fairy in Journey to the West

"It seems that there is a gap between the great saints." Zhuang Yan couldn't help but smile as he looked at Marshal Tongfeng and Marshal Qushen who were tied up and thrown in front of him.

Hearing Zhuang Yan's words, Marshal Fengtong's face condensed and he asked, "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

With a bang, Marshal Ventilation immediately tumbled out and rolled four or five times on the ground before stopping.

The Great Sage Yellow Wind retracted his right leg, spat at the Ventilation Marshal and said, "Do you think you can call me 'fellow Daoist'?"

When Marshal Fengtong raised his head again, his face was covered with dust. He said with a look of humiliation: "A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!"

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Then kill him."

The three-pronged steel fork flashed a cold light, and with a "pop" sound, it pierced into Marshal Tongfeng's heart. Then it twisted it gently, and a stream of blood spurted out more than ten feet high. Marshal Tongfeng's heart and meridians were instantly crushed.

Marshal Fengtong screamed, and a bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows. The Taoist magic power in his spiritual altar instantly gushed out from the bloody hole and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Marshal Tongfeng's body flashed with a demonic light and turned back into its original form, which was actually a three-meter-tall macaque.

At this time, a chain with a chilly wind flew over and immediately hooked the soul of Marshal Fengtong. Only then did everyone realize that there was a row of ghost officials standing next to them.

I saw a ghost catch Marshal Tongfeng's soul with a soul-catching rope, then he pulled him away, bowed to Zhuang Yan and left.

Seeing that Zhuang Yan really killed people as he said, and even arranged for the ghost to catch souls, the Great Sage who drove away the gods was horrified.

It stands to reason that a demon king as powerful as theirs cannot be killed at will, even if they are not bribed or recruited first.

But looking at Zhuang Yan's attitude, it seems that he doesn't take these demon kings seriously at all.

Marshal Tongfeng was dead. Zhuang Yan looked at the Great Saint Driving the Gods and said, "You think I don't know your origins, but you should know that there is nothing in this world that I don't know."

At this point, Zhuang Yan pointed at the corpse of Marshal Tongfeng and said, "The one who just died was the Great Saint Monkey King of Tongfeng, and as for you, you are the Great Saint Yuxiong King of the Exorcist."

King Yu Monkey's pupils shrank, and he was shocked that Zhuang Yan had directly revealed their origins.

“I had no intention of settling old scores, but who knew that you would come to oppose me? It seems that this great calamity of the Xuanxian is your fate. You may have escaped the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but you cannot escape this great calamity of the Xuanxian.” Zhuang Yan said indifferently.

King Yuxiong stared at the gravel road below silently. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master Lingtai, can you spare my life? I swear to fly far away and leave Dongsheng Shenzhou."

Zhuang Yan glanced at him, and after a moment said, "Your fate has been sealed in the Xuanxian Great Tribulation. Even if I let you go now, you will not be able to escape death."

King Yuxiong said: "I only ask the True Lord to be merciful and let me go once. Even if I cannot escape, I, King Yuxiong, will remember the True Lord's kindness in my next life."

Zhuang Yan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, it's easy for me to let you go. You just need to confess and sign your name on one thing."

King Yuxiong said, "Your Excellency wants me to admit that I was recruited by Marquis Xuanling and work under him, right?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yan threw a jade slip in front of King Yuxiong and said, "Not only must you confess that Xuanling Hou recruited you two, but you must also confess that Xuanling Hou knew your identities and recruited you, and helped you hide your names. After you confess, your divine mind seal will be branded on it, and you can leave."

Hearing this, King Yuxiong nodded and said, "What the True Lord said is the truth. I will confess everything."

After saying this, King Yuxiong confessed everything directly on the jade slip according to what Zhuang Yan said. Finally, he separated a ray of his divine consciousness and imprinted it on the jade slip together with the seal.

Zhuang Yan took back the jade slip and took a look at it, then said to Great Sage Yellow Wind, "Let him go."

The Great Sage Huang Feng asked, "True Lord, do you really want to let him go?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "In this world, trust and loyalty are the foundation of life. I promised him, and I cannot break my promise. Untie him and let him go."

"Yes." Upon hearing Zhuang Yan's words, the Great Sage Huangfeng immediately responded respectfully, then stepped forward to untie King Yuxiong's restraints and set him free.

Zhuang Yan then said to King Yuxiong: "Don't accuse me of breaking my promise. After you leave Qingping Mountain, I will ensure that you will not be in danger of death within 50,000 miles. But beyond this 50,000-mile range, it depends on whether you are strong enough to survive."

King Yuxiong was greatly moved upon hearing this, and immediately bowed and said, "It is a pity that I did not meet the True Lord earlier, otherwise I would have led the True Lord's horse and served you."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "I don't accept just anyone. I will train the people I want to hire myself."

Hearing this, King Yuxiong sighed and said, "Not being able to serve the True Lord is the biggest regret of my life. Take care, True Lord. I'm leaving now."

After saying this, King Yuxiong immediately turned around and flew out of Qingping Mountain, then rode on the magic light and flew straight to the south.

After the Monkey King left, Zhuang Yan called two heavenly soldiers and pointed at the Monkey King's body and said, "Hang the Monkey King's body on the western cliff and write his name on the cliff."

"Yes." The heavenly soldier bowed and accepted the order, then stepped forward and dragged the body of the Monkey King to the west of Qingping Mountain.

Next, Zhuang Yan withdrew his gaze, and four heavenly soldiers brought the land owner of Xiaoguo Mountain and the land owner of Yinfeng Mountain to Zhuang Yan.

The little Guoshan land god knelt on the ground and trembled, saying, "I pay my respects to the True Lord Lingtai. I was extremely rude to you last time. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."

The land god of Yinfeng Mountain bowed solemnly and said, "This little god pays homage to the True Lord of Lingtai."

Zhuang Yan smiled calmly, looked at the little landowner Guo and said, "Why are you so respectful at first and so polite later?"

The land god of Xiaoguo Mountain trembled all over, kowtowed and said, "I am guilty, I am guilty."

"Okay, okay, don't plead guilty. You don't have to plead guilty." Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Little Guoshan Land God raised his head and looked at Zhuang Yan, then said with a cowering look on his face: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Master."

Zhuang Yan smiled, took out two talismans from his sleeve and presented them to the land god of Xiaoguo Mountain and the land god of Yinfeng Mountain respectively.

"See for yourselves," said Zhuang Yan.

The land god of Xiaoguo Mountain and the land god of Yinfeng Mountain looked at each other, then each reached out to take the talisman in front of them, and then opened it and took a look.

In an instant, the faces of the two men changed drastically, because this was the talisman from Taixuan Zhenfu, and it was stamped with the seal of the human department of Taixuan Zhenfu.

The content was very simple: both of them were stripped of their land god status and official positions.

As the talisman was unfolded, the 'Immortal Official Jade' in the two people's spirit platform immediately flew out of their eyebrows and turned into a piece of immortal light and disappeared. Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Pull it down, break up the divine body, and put it into reincarnation."

"Yes." A row of ghost officials stepped forward to receive the order, and then dragged the land god of Xiaoguo Mountain and the land god of Yinfeng Mountain away. They first used the Yin Gui Stick to break up the divine body, and then used the soul-catching rope to lock up their souls.

The two men only let out a series of shrill ghost howls, but were soon beaten into submission by the ghost catcher with a ghost stick, and then taken away directly.

After dealing with these matters, Zhuang Yan said to Liu Yan: "It's done. Now you can go back to heaven."

When Liu Yan heard this, he stepped forward and said, "Master, I have a suggestion. I hope you will accept it."

"Oh? What suggestions?" Zhuang Yan asked with a smile.

Liu Yan said, "Master, right now is the time of the great calamity of the Mysterious Immortals. Monsters are appearing one after another on the earth. In my opinion, it would be better to set up a branch of the 'Demon Subduing Hall' in the human world. We can directly handle the work here and catch monsters, saving the trouble of going up and down to the heavens. Wouldn't it be more convenient?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up, and he turned back to look at Liu Yan and said, "Your suggestion is quite insightful."

“However, now that I have been demoted to the mortal world, it is not convenient for me to interfere in the affairs of heaven. I have let Immortal Fire Spirit take full charge of the affairs of Jade Extreme True Lord’s Palace. You should go and ask Immortal Fire Spirit for instructions first.” Zhuang Yan said.

Although the Demon Subduing Hall was under the jurisdiction of Jade Extreme True Lord's Palace, that is, under the jurisdiction of Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan was demoted to the mortal world after all, and he had handed over the authority of Jade Extreme True Lord's Palace to Fire Spirit True Immortal.

Although he could make the decision directly, he could not do so because he had to respect the authority he had given to the True Immortal Fire Spirit.

Precisely because it was he who gave True Immortal Huo Ling the authority to rule True Lord Yu Ji's Palace, he could not take it lightly, because doing so would damage his own prestige.

Sometimes, for some things, the necessary procedures must be followed.

Just like killing the Monkey King is different from killing the land gods of Xiaoguo Mountain and Yinfeng Mountain. The Monkey King is just a demon king, so he can be killed just by saying so.

But the land of Xiaoguo Mountain and Yinfeng Mountain is different. Even if their cultivation is not worthy of carrying shoes for the Monkey King, just because they are ninth-rank immortal officials in Heaven, killing them must go through the procedures of the Human World Department. They can only be killed after receiving an imperial edict from the Human World Department to deprive them of their official ranks and divine duties.

Of course, Zhuang Yan could have been killed directly, but would the first person to do so have no descendants? If you do it on the first day, others can do it on the fifteenth. If it is not necessary, don't be the first person to break the rules.

Liu Yan had been an immortal official for so many years that he certainly understood what Zhuang Yan meant. He immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Then Liu Yan took the Great Sage Huangfeng and the heavenly soldiers, gathered his troops, and rode on the clouds, straight up to the first heaven.

At this moment, only Zhuang Yan and the two boys Baojie and Xiuhuang were left on Qingping Mountain. Zhuang Yan said to them, "I will continue to deduce the mysteries of the heavens. You guys should watch over the mountain carefully. If you have nothing important to do, don't disturb me."

Upon hearing this, the second boy bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, then returned to the main hall and sat cross-legged, activated the 'Search for Heaven's Secrets', and continued to deduce and observe the chaotic and unclear secrets of Heaven.

At this moment, Yuanou Mountain.

Ao Yan and Marquis Xuan Ling stood there, supporting each other. Their eyes were red and tears were pouring out of their eyes, which were extremely painful. They were both in a state of blindness.

Those earth gods who had previously come to the divine palace to pay homage were blown away to various places by the Samadhi Divine Wind, and now they have not returned.

As for the demon soldiers in Yuanou Mountain God's Palace, they were blown away to who knows where.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Ao Yan asked.

Xuan Linghou said: "My eyes hurt so much that I can hardly see. How about you?"

Ao Yan said, "My Lord, I feel the same way."

"Alas." Xuan Linghou sighed and said, "My visual sense is damaged, and my spiritual sense is not working well."

People who practice cultivation can use their spiritual thoughts to explore things around them, which sometimes has the same function as the eyes.

But the Samadhi Divine Wind directly hurt Xuan Linghou and his men's visual consciousness. Visual consciousness is one of the 'six consciousnesses' and represents the power of 'seeing' of living beings.

Therefore, once the visual consciousness is damaged, the spiritual consciousness will naturally be damaged as well.

Ao Yan called out to the surroundings a few times, but there was silence and no one answered, so she said, "Those earth gods and demon soldiers are gone too."

Xuan Linghou waved his hand and said, "They are not much better."

At this point, Xuan Ling Hou took out a green jade talisman from his sleeve and said, "We have no choice but to ask Taoist Wu Deng to come over and take us to find an ophthalmologist to cure our eyes first."

Ao Yan was startled when she heard this, and quickly said, "Lord, this person is too greedy for profit, do you really want to call him over?"

Xuan Linghou said: "Under the current situation, it is safest for him to come. Although he is a little greedy, he can keep you and me safe."

After saying that, Marquis Xuan Ling directly crushed the green jade fairy talisman in his hand.

I saw a ray of fairy light rising into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then, Marquis Xuan Ling and Ao Yan waited there for a cup of tea. After a while, a fairy cloud came from afar and landed in front of Marquis Xuan Ling and Ao Yan in a moment.

A Taoist in a black robe and with a dark face appeared. He held a pitch-black whisk in his hand. He walked forward and looked at Xuan Linghou and Ao Yan, and said in surprise: "Lord, Dragon King, how did you two become like this? Huh? This is Yuan Ou Mountain? How did it become like this?"

Xuan Linghou sighed and said, "This is a long story. Taoist Wu Deng, our eyes have been damaged by the yellow wind. Please take us to find an ophthalmologist to heal our eyes."

Taoist Wu Deng smiled when he heard this and said, "No problem, but I'll keep the same price. I'll do one thing for you and you'll give me 10,000 purple coins."

Ao Yan said: "Since you are an old customer, can't you give me a discount?"

Taoist Wu Deng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have already said that I will only do things for people who make me, Wu Deng Si, convinced and admired, and I will not accept purple money from them. Otherwise, 10,000 purple money for one thing is not a small amount. Do you think it is too expensive? If you think it is too expensive, then please find someone else."

"Okay." Xuan Linghou responded directly: "Ten thousand is ten thousand, as usual, we'll pay after the matter is done."

"Okay, okay, you are a man of extraordinary origin and noble, so you speak freely." Taoist Wu Deng said with a smile, then raised his hand and waved it. A cloud of fairy rose from under his feet, carrying Marquis Xuan Ling and Ao Yan straight into the sky, and disappeared in the sky in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
