I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Liu Chenxiang stared intently at the woman before her, her brows furrowed slightly, and asked bluntly, "Who are you?"

Bodhisattva Zhunti said, "This humble monk's Dharma name is 'Zhunti'. I have received the decree of the Great Emperor Shenxiao to serve as the mountain god of Taoshan and to guard Taoshan."

Upon hearing Zhunti say that he was guarding Taoshan, Liu Chenxiang recalled the words of the Ant-Leech Immortal, and his anger intensified.

Liu Chenxiang coldly looked at Zhunti and said, "So you are the Bodhisattva Zhunti, the jailer of Taoshan. You are the one I've been looking for!"

Bodhisattva Cundi smiled and said, "Why is your killing intent so strong, fellow Daoist? I don't think I have ever offended you."

Liu Chenxiang asked, "Does the Bodhisattva know who I am?"

Bodhisattva Cundi shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Liu Chenxiang said loudly, "Then I will tell you, I am Liu Chenxiang, the son of the Third Holy Mother who was suppressed in this mountain!"

"I know, I know," Bodhisattva Cundi said with a smile. "No need to shout so loudly, this humble monk's ears are perfectly fine."

Liu Chenxiang: "."

But only a moment later, Liu Chenxiang came to his senses and said to the Bodhisattva Zhunti, "If you, Bodhisattva, are truly compassionate, please release my mother so that our family can be reunited."

Bodhisattva Cundi shook his head and said, "This is not something this humble monk can decide."

At this point, Bodhisattva Cundi said to the divine generals, "This place is no longer within your ability to defend. Quickly return to Mount Hua to report back."

Upon hearing this, the generals looked at Liu Chenxiang in front of them and finally had no choice but to get up and accept the order.

Watching the gods retreat under the protection of Bodhisattva Cundi's light, Liu Chenxiang didn't care. He just looked at Bodhisattva Cundi and asked, "Bodhisattva Cundi, are you going to stop me?"

The Bodhisattva Zhunti put his hands together and said, "This humble monk is ordered to guard this mountain. The Third Holy Mother's sins have not been atoned for, and no one is allowed to rescue her."

Liu Chenxiang said, "What if I insist on saving them?"

Bodhisattva Cundi laughed and said, "What else is there to say? We're bound to have a fight eventually, so let's just get started, fellow Daoist."

"Excellent," Liu Chenxiang said, then raised his hand and pointed, sending a beam of celestial light straight towards Bodhisattva Zhunti.

Upon seeing this, Bodhisattva Cundi immediately put her hands together in prayer and revealed her Dharma form without saying a word. The Dharma form was a hundred feet tall, with eighteen arms, three eyes, and was solemn and majestic, holding a weapon in a mudra.

Faced with the divine light that Liu Chenxiang was sending, Bodhisattva Zhunti used his second right hand to perform the Abhaya Mudra, and in an instant, thousands of layers of Buddhist light directly blocked the divine light that Liu Chenxiang was sending.

Upon seeing this, Liu Chenxiang immediately channeled his magic power, continuously enhancing the light. Instantly, beams of light burst forth, pressing down on the Fearless Seal Buddha light with immense power.

Bodhisattva Zhunti looked surprised. Liu Chenxiang had only been cultivating for three years, yet he had already achieved such formidable magical power.

At this moment, Liu Chenxiang's attack became increasingly powerful. Seeing this, Bodhisattva Zhunti immediately used his third right hand to slash at Liu Chenxiang with his sword.

Liu Chenxiang immediately used his Seventy-Two Transformations to dodge the sword. Then, the Bodhisattva Zhunti used his sixth right hand to cleave out an axe, his seventh right hand to strike out a golden hook, his second left hand to summon the Ruyi Zhuang, and his fifth left hand to throw out a golden rope.

These attacks all came at Liu Chenxiang at the same time. Liu Chenxiang was not flustered. He simply raised his hand and made a hand seal. Then, his body flashed with immortal light and the Seventy-Two Transformations were activated in sequence.

All that could be seen was celestial light and dazzling energy, and all the attacks launched by Bodhisattva Zhunti were calmly neutralized by Liu Chenxiang.

But at the same time, Cundi Bodhisattva suddenly threw out a Vajra with his eighth right hand. The Vajra struck out suddenly and, with a loud bang, shattered the celestial light in front of him.

Liu Chenxiang's attack was broken, and he was directly blasted dozens of feet away. Immediately afterwards, the Bodhisattva Zhunti sent out a lotus flower with her third left hand.

The lotus flower emitted a six-colored halo, carrying the light of the Void Yuanbao. As soon as it was sent out, it broke through the air and arrived directly above Liu Chenxiang's head.

Caught off guard, Liu Chenxiang was pressed down by the lotus and crashed to the ground. However, the earthen mountain was too hard, and the protective immortal light on Liu Chenxiang's body shattered upon impact with the ground. Even his legs were shaken and ached.

If he hadn't already become an immortal with a divine body, his legs would probably have been crippled from that one blow.

At this moment, Bodhisattva Cundi pointed to the lotus flower, and boundless magical power surged into the lotus flower, suppressing Liu Chenxiang, who was completely unable to get up.

Bodhisattva Cundi asked, "If you can change your mind, give up saving your mother, and cultivate yourself diligently from now on and never come to Taoshan again, this humble monk will let you leave, how about that?"

Liu Chenxiang sneered and said, "Bodhisattvas only rely on having many magical treasures. Do you think I don't have any?"

Having said that, Liu Chenxiang had a thought, and the Lotus Lantern immediately flew out from between his eyebrows.

The instant the lotus lantern flew out, a thousand rays of light shot out, dazzlingly bright, instantly tearing apart the lotus flower above and shattering the power of the Bodhisattva Cundi.

Bodhisattva Cundi was greatly surprised, "Brahma Light? How did this Lotus Lamp become a Dharma treasure of Brahma Buddhism?"

Liu Chenxiang stood up and, without answering the words of Bodhisattva Zhunti, directly used the Lotus Lamp to emit Brahma light, shining it upon Bodhisattva Zhunti.

The eighteen arms of Bodhisattva Cundi immediately returned to their respective positions, and then they all formed a mudra and joined their palms together. Then, Buddha light shone from the eighteen hands of Bodhisattva Cundi, like a wheel of Buddha light protecting Bodhisattva Cundi.

The Bodhisattva Cundi continuously chanted Sanskrit hymns, the sound waves rolling and sweeping across the void.

However, wherever that Brahma light passed, all of Cundi Bodhisattva's magical powers were instantly shattered. In the blink of an eye, the Brahma light destroyed all of Cundi Bodhisattva's magical powers and shone directly on her.

The next moment, the Buddha light on the Bodhisattva Cundi dissipated at an extremely fast speed, and even the Dharma form could not be maintained, instantly turning back into the original form.

"This is bad," Bodhisattva Cundi thought to himself, but he was blocked by the Brahma light and could not use any of his magic.

At this moment, Liu Chenxiang raised his hand and pointed, and another beam of immortal light, carrying the power to shatter mountains and split the earth, struck towards Bodhisattva Zhunti.

At this critical moment, a divine light suddenly appeared on the body of Bodhisattva Cundi, protecting him.

Bodhisattva Zhunti was taken aback at first, then realized that she was a mountain god appointed by Zhuang Yan, so she naturally had divine power.

Like a heavy hammer striking the Bodhisattva Zhunti, Liu Chenxiang's immortal light hit the Bodhisattva Zhunti accurately, sending him flying.

Liu Chenxiang glanced around and saw that the divine light on the Bodhisattva Zhunti had shattered, but it had blocked his fatal blow.

However, the remaining power still sent Bodhisattva Zhunti flying thousands of feet away, directly out of Taoshan.

Liu Chenxiang laughed loudly, his anger of the past three years finally subsiding somewhat. Then, ignoring the Bodhisattva Zhunti who had been knocked away, he flew directly above Taoshan and looked down at Taoshan, saying, "Mother, your son Chenxiang has come to save you!"

After saying that, Liu Chenxiang immediately channeled his magic power and slammed his palm down on Taoshan below.

This palm strike was like a meteor falling from the sky, its power earth-shattering. The instant it landed, ripples of magical power emanated from his body, spreading out in all directions.

The Bodhisattva Cundi, who was in the distance, wanted to return to Taoshan, but was also knocked back by the spreading ripples of magical power.

'Rumble'

As Liu Chenxiang's palm, imbued with immense magical power, struck the summit of Tao Mountain, it became a powerful blow.

The abode of Bodhisattva Zhunti on Taoshan was instantly smashed, followed by the trees on Taoshan breaking and shattering in an instant.

The entire Taoshan Mountain shook violently, and then the force spread out, causing the land within a radius of a thousand miles to shake and tremble.

The land around Taoshan shook violently, dust filled the sky, the earth cracked, trees fell, mountain peaks collapsed, and rocks and soil crumbled.
The moment Liu Chenxiang unleashed all his power upon Taoshan, the land within a thousand miles was torn open with more than ten fissures, and all the mountains, large and small, except for Taoshan, collapsed at that instant.

However, despite the hellish power and spectacle it unleashed, Taoshan remained completely unmoved.

Liu Chenxiang's palm strike, delivered with all his might, created a hellish landscape within a thousand miles of Tao Mountain, yet it only stirred up a speck of dust on Tao Mountain itself.

Liu Chenxiang stood blankly in the air, his gaze sweeping across all directions. He saw dust rising into the sky and mountains collapsing and the earth splitting open.

Looking back at Taoshan, all that could be seen was a wisp of dust, with no signs of damage whatsoever.

"No, this is impossible!" Liu Chenxiang could not accept what he was seeing. He leaped up, channeled his magic power once more, and this time brought his palms down with a sudden burst of force.

The same force as before struck Tao Mountain, causing the mountain to collapse and the earth to shake violently. The area within a thousand miles of Tao Mountain was directly razed to the ground.

Taoshan remained standing, unmoved, without the slightest damage.

Liu Chenxiang's face was filled with disbelief, "How could this be?"

"Liu Chenxiang." At this moment, Bodhisattva Zhunti flew back and called out to Liu Chenxiang, "With your magic power, you can't break through this Tao Mountain. Hurry up and leave. The commotion here has already shaken the surrounding area. People from the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chenxiang immediately flicked his sleeve and said, "Are I afraid of them? With the Lotus Lantern here, who can hurt me?"

"Let me try!" A chilling voice rang out from above. Liu Chenxiang looked up and saw a woman dressed in a qilin-patterned ghost robe, with a blue sash and white jade belt around her waist, and her hair tied up with a snow-white sash, riding on a cloud.

Liu Chenxiang's gaze sharpened. He didn't recognize the woman, but he did recognize the man beside her. It was none other than his uncle, Hua Yue Erlang.

"Liu Chenxiang, I thought you would see the error of your ways, but I never expected you to be so unrepentant, willing to harm all living beings in this vast region just to save your mother!" Hua Yue Erlang shouted sternly.

Liu Chenxiang looked at Hua Yue Erlang and said, "Hua Yue Erlang, don't say anything more. If it weren't for Mother's sake, I would have made you bleed on the spot today."

"Liu Chenxiang, you are too arrogant." After saying this, Hua Yue Erlang rode the clouds and brandished his spear, heading straight for Liu Chenxiang.

Seeing Hua Yue Erlang charging with his spear, Liu Chenxiang immediately used his magic to conjure a long sword and charged at Hua Yue Erlang.

The two trembled in the air as their spears and swords clashed, sparking bursts of light. Their magical powers surged and clashed, breaking through the heavy clouds.

But Liu Chenxiang is no longer the mortal he was three years ago. The long sword in Liu Chenxiang's hand gleamed, and his magical power surged and gathered on the sword, making his sword strike powerful and heavy.

After only twenty-odd rounds, Liu Chenxiang's sword suddenly sank, instantly suppressing Hua Yue Erlang's spear. Hua Yue Erlang was not afraid at all, and the two began to compete with each other using their weapons.

This back and forth took another thirty-odd hours. Just as they were getting anxious, the Lotus Lantern above Liu Chenxiang's head suddenly flashed with a ray of light.

Then, Hua Yue Erlang was struck as if by a heavy blow. His magic power dissipated instantly, and his spear momentum faltered. Liu Chenxiang seized the opportunity to perform a sword flourish and then directly knocked the 'Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Spear' out of Hua Yue Erlang's hand.

Hua Yue Erlang's hand went limp as he watched the spear slip from his grasp, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."

Sure enough, the instant the spear was knocked away, Liu Chenxiang thrust his sword straight at Hua Yue Erlang's heart. Hua Yue Erlang couldn't dodge in time and cried out in his heart, "My life is over!"

'Whoosh' 'Clang'

Just then, a divine blade pierced through the air and struck Liu Chenxiang's sword directly. Liu Chenxiang's expression changed, and the longsword in his hand was bent by the divine blade, and then snapped in two with a 'crack'.

Taking advantage of this opening, Hua Yue Erlang hurriedly turned around and fled into the clouds.

Liu Chenxiang discarded the short sword and looked up at the divine blade. He saw that the woman was holding a black gold slingshot and aiming it at him.

'Boom'

The sound of the string was startling, and another divine blade pierced through the air, heading straight for Liu Chenxiang. Liu Chenxiang hurriedly used the Brahma light of the Lotus Lamp to illuminate it, and the speed of the divine blade immediately slowed down.

By the time the divine blade reached Liu Chenxiang, its speed had slowed to an extreme. Liu Chenxiang raised his hand and grabbed the divine blade, then gently squeezed it with his magic power, and the divine blade shattered instantly.

Liu Chenxiang chuckled and looked up, about to say something sarcastic, when a fist punched him across the light of the Lotus Lantern and landed on his face.

With the sound of a broken cheekbone, Liu Chenxiang was sent flying by a punch, then streaked through the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

But just moments later, Liu Chenxiang flew back into the sky, straightened her cheekbone with one hand, and then looked at that imposing figure.

"Who are you?" Liu Chenxiang asked, her voice tinged with surprise.

The woman cracked her fist and said with a sneer, "Chi Ling, Grand Commandant of the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm."

Liu Chenxiang's pupils contracted, then her eyes flashed with intense anger. "So it was you who led the men to capture my mother?"

Chi Ling sneered, "Not only that, I'm also going to capture you."

After saying that, Chi Ling's figure flashed and she shot out like a meteor. Liu Chenxiang was startled and hurriedly lit the Lotus Lantern to emit a sacred light.

However, Chi Ling appeared directly in front of him through the Brahma light, and with one punch, two punches, three punches, and ten punches, Chi Ling threw ten punches in just one breath, and all of them hit Liu Chenxiang.

Liu Chenxiang felt a sharp pain all over his body and multiple fractures. He also felt a burning sensation in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying dozens of feet away.

Liu Chenxiang came to her senses and hurriedly activated her protective immortal light, once again urging the Lotus Lamp to emit its sacred light.

But Chi Ling simply leaped into the air and instantly appeared before him again, and the Brahma light of the Lotus Lantern had no effect whatsoever.

Chi Ling unleashed a punch, shattering the protective immortal light around Liu Chenxiang. Then, a barrage of punches rained down, and Liu Chenxiang's bones shattered repeatedly.

"what!"

After taking dozens more punches, Liu Chenxiang finally couldn't help but scream in agony, then spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"Why is the light of the Lotus Lantern ineffective against her?" Liu Chenxiang was filled with questions.

However, he did not know that Chi Ling was not relying on her own magic power at this moment, but on her powerful physical body with the 'Indestructible Vajra Bone and Scale'.

The light of the Lotus Lantern could only break through magical power, and naturally could not break through Liu Chenxiang's physical strength.

Despite this, Liu Chenxiang realized that the Brahma light of the Lotus Lantern was useless against the Red Silk. At this moment, he was in excruciating pain all over his body, probably because many of his bones had broken.

Moreover, he had just spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which weakened his vital energy by 40%. If he didn't leave now, he might not have another chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Liu Chenxiang immediately activated the Lotus Lantern and rammed it directly into the red silk.

This time, the light from the Lotus Lantern was bright and clear, but it did not work with magical power. Instead, it materialized from the void and directly enveloped the Lotus Lantern.

Upon seeing this, Chi Ling immediately threw a punch, which collided with the Lotus Lantern. Both the person and the lantern were simultaneously blasted back hundreds of feet.

Chi Ling steadied herself, feeling a numbness in her arms, while the Lotus Lantern opposite her continued to shine brightly.

"Not bad," Akaya praised, then threw another punch. "Again."

Chi Ling was in a very good mood. She had suffered so much humiliation at the hands of the Third Holy Mother, and today she could finally vent her anger on Liu Chenxiang. So she had no intention of holding back at all.

At that moment, Liu Chenxiang simply waved his hand, and the Lotus Lantern instantly transformed into a beam of light and flew back to the top of Liu Chenxiang's head. Afterward, Liu Chenxiang used the Seventy-Two Transformations, instantly changing his form and merging into the world.

When Chi Ling caught up and saw Liu Chenxiang suddenly disappear, she immediately stopped and then opened her magic eye to search around.

Unfortunately, her magic eye was merely a technique possessed by all immortals, and it could not see through the seventy-two transformations.

Chi Ling hurriedly returned and asked Hua Yue Erlang, "Have you seen where Liu Chenxiang went?"

Hua Yue Erlang was looking around when he heard Chi Ling ask him a question. He shook his head and said, "I was watching from the clouds. I saw him use a transformation technique and then disappear."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ling turned to the Bodhisattva Zhunti below and asked, "Bodhisattva, have you seen any trace of Liu Chenxiang?"

Bodhisattva Zhunti also shook his head and said, "Liu Chenxiang uses the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends. Such transformations resemble all things in heaven and earth, and cannot be seen through without the eyes of a discerning eye."

Chi Ling said, "As a Bodhisattva, do you not have the insight to see through the world?"

Bodhisattva Cundi smiled and said, "Everyone has their own expertise, and this humble monk is not good at this."

Chi Ling scratched her head, then sighed, "What a pity, he got away." At this point, she suddenly realized, "Wait, where did Liu Chenxiang learn the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends?"

Bodhisattva Zhunti said, "Just now I saw that his magical power and aura were very similar to those of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. I think he must have been a disciple of the Victorious Fighting Buddha and learned the Great Celestial Immortal Technique and the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends from him."

"What?" Chi Ling exclaimed in surprise. "What is this monkey... what is the Victorious Fighting Buddha up to? Doesn't he know that Liu Chenxiang is the son of the Third Holy Mother?"

Hua Yue Erlang said, "I'm afraid he only passed on the technique because he already knew about it."

Chi Ling was puzzled, so Hua Yue Erlang immediately told her about the favor that Sun Wukong owed the Third Holy Mother on his journey to the West.

After listening, Chi Ling shook her head repeatedly and said, "Don't you know how to keep things to yourself? How can you teach everything?"

After saying that, Chi Ling said to Hua Yue Erlang, "You go back to the Western Mountain Divine Palace to report this matter first, and I will continue to investigate Liu Chenxiang's whereabouts."

Hua Yue Erlang nodded and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, Hua Yue Erlang bowed to Zhunti Bodhisattva and Chi Ling to bid farewell, and rode the clouds back to Xiyue.

Chi Ling then asked Bodhisattva Zhunti, "Bodhisattva, are you alright? I saw him hit you quite hard earlier."

Bodhisattva Zhunti smiled and said, "It's alright, this humble monk is fine. His magical power was merely suppressed by his Lotus Lantern, but I was not injured."

“Alright.” Chi Ling nodded slightly and said, “Then please take care, Bodhisattva. I’ll take my leave now.”

Bodhisattva Cundi put her palms together and said, "Grand Commandant, please take good care of yourself."

After saying that, Chi Ling rode the clouds and flew towards the southeast where Liu Chenxiang had been, searching for traces of Liu Chenxiang's aura as she flew.

Liu Chenxiang had already used the 'Divine Speed' transformation from the Seventy-Two Transformations to escape thousands of miles away, and returned to the Heavenly Fox Cave in just one hour.

After the fox den door opened that day, Liu Chenxiang, covered in wounds, fell straight forward.

Xiaoyu quickly hugged Liu Chenxiang, but when she saw Liu Chenxiang's pale face and weak breathing, Xiaoyu was terrified and hurriedly shouted into the cave, "Grandma, something bad has happened! Chenxiang is injured."

A gentle breeze blew by, and Granny Fox immediately arrived at the cave entrance. After examining Liu Chenxiang's injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He's alright, just some minor injuries to his bones and muscles. It's not fatal. With his magical power, he can recover in ten days or so."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu finally felt relieved. The grandmother and granddaughter then took Liu Chenxiang back into the cave and settled him in a quiet room.

Buzhou Mountain, the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm, the Spirit Platform Dao Palace, the Zhou Tian Retreat.

Fire Spirit Immortal reported everything that had happened at Tao Mountain to Zhuang Yan, and then stood quietly in the hall, awaiting Zhuang Yan's instructions.

About fifteen minutes later, Zhuang Yan finally opened his eyes and looked at Huo Ling Zhenxian, saying, "Liu Chenxiang has just mastered his skills, but he is still ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and dares to think that he can break through Taoshan with his magic power."

Huo Ling Zhenxian said, "If he hadn't been quick-witted enough to escape using the Seventy-Two Transformations, he probably would have been caught by Chi Ling on the spot."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Shiva still held back. He probably didn't want to get involved in the karma of Liu Chenxiang's family anymore, so he only gave the Lotus Lantern the power to break the spell."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Should we issue an edict to Chi Ling, informing her of the Jade Palace's arrangements?"

"No need." Zhuang Yan raised his hand and said, "You stay in the Dust World Jade Mansion to oversee important matters, and I will personally go to Xiniu Hezhou to take charge of the situation."

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Huo Ling immediately bowed and accepted the order, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, True Immortal Huo Ling bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and bowed as he withdrew from the Zhou Tian Abode.

As the doors of Zhou Tian Jing She slowly closed, Zhuang Yan stood up, took a step, and vanished without a trace.

The instant Zhuang Yan disappeared from Zhou Tian Abode, his figure simultaneously appeared in the 'Golden Heaven Palace' of the Western Mountain Divine Mansion.

Upon seeing Zhuang Yan's sudden appearance, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and all the civil and military officials in the hall quickly paid their respects.

Zhuang Yan sat cross-legged on the auspicious cloud and slowly descended. He first returned the greeting to the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, and then said to the civil and military officials of the Western Mountain below: "All of you, rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The civil and military officials bowed in thanks and rose, while the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain returned to his throne.

Zhuang Yan sat on the auspicious cloud and said to the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain: "I am aware of the matter of Liu Chenxiang reported by the Western Mountain Divine Palace, so I have come here to personally oversee and command the situation."

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak sighed and said, "All this chaos was caused by my family, which has disturbed the peace of the Jade Palace in the Mortal Realm and the Divine Palace of the Western Peak. It is truly my fault."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "This matter arose from the ill-fated relationship between the Third Holy Mother and a mortal. What does it have to do with you, fellow Daoist? I came here not to make things difficult for you, so I deliberately played the villain."

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak nodded slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "All of the Western Peak respectfully listen to the imperial decree of the Great Emperor of the Divine Firmament."

Zhuang Yan nodded, then called out, "Where is the Minister of the Western Mountain?"

Minister Zhi Du hurriedly stepped out from his rank of officials, holding a jade tablet, and bowed, saying, "Your subject is here."

Zhuang Yan said, "I order you to immediately issue an edict in the name of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and the Western Mountain Divine Palace, to issue a warrant for the arrest of Liu Chenxiang in Xiniu Hezhou. Anyone who can capture Liu Chenxiang and escort him to the Western Mountain Divine Palace will be rewarded with 100,000 purple coins and granted the title of a seventh-rank immortal."

"Whoever can kill Liu Chenxiang and deliver his body to the Western Mountain Divine Palace will be rewarded with 200,000 purple coins and granted the title of a sixth-rank immortal after verification."

"Anyone who can provide the Heavenly Army with information about Liu Chenxiang's whereabouts will be rewarded with 10,000 purple coins each time. Anyone who dares to make false reports to cheat for the reward will be punished and executed."

Upon hearing Zhuang Yan's words, everyone in the hall became solemn. Minister Zhi quickly drafted the edict and then presented it.

After Zhuang Yan checked and confirmed that everything was correct, he forwarded it to the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain.

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak directly affixed his imperial seal, and then Zhi Du affixed the seal of the Western Peak Divine Palace. He then summoned the messenger and ordered him to send the edict to all the large and small divine palaces in Xiniu Hezhou, to spread the word far and wide.

Then Zhuang Yan made arrangements for the personnel to capture Liu Chenxiang. First, he appointed a thousand generals from the Western Mountain Divine Palace, and then he appointed the Second Prince of Huayue.

"Hua Yue Erlang, I hereby order you to lead a thousand divine generals to the Grand Commandant Chi Ling. You and these thousand divine generals will all be under Chi Ling's command," Zhuang Yan said.

Hua Yue Erlang bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Then Zhuang Yan issued an imperial edict, ordering Hua Yue Erlang to deliver it to Chi Ling. Zhuang Yan officially appointed Chi Ling as the arresting officer, giving her full authority to capture Liu Chenxiang, and granting her the power to act expediently and make decisions on the spot.

After making the arrangements, Hua Yue Erlang received the decree, bowed, and withdrew. He then mustered the divine generals and officially set off. (End of Chapter)
